Wow, An 11 mile bide ride! I'm pooped just from shopping for 3 hours today. Thinking it may be time to dust off my bike and try out some of the trails near where we live. Sounds a lot more fun than shopping! Though, I did find what I needed to buy. I have trouble finding shoes that fit and don't cost a fortune. Today, I…

@freyjac - Gorgeous picture!

I have gotten rid of most of my larger clothes too. I had this one pair of jeans that I had kept and that pair of jeans allowed me to re-gain about 10 pounds over the past 2 months while we were having landscaping done (I wasn't sleeping enough and was out of my routine). This time, as soon as I am out of that pair of…

@2020pinktogo - Learning from our pasts (what we did well and not so well) is the best part of getting older! B)

I keep hoping to wake up and find that this whole Presidential political thing will have just been a very bad dream caused by something I shouldn't have eaten. I'm ready to wake up now. :#

Phoebe - Happy Belated Birthday! Hi, Been missing everyone. I had some elective surgery and have been recuperating. Unfortunately, one of the meds has made it more difficult to lose weight. But recovery is well underway and meds are done. I have a trip planned end of August so I'm ready to get the weight back down a bit.…

Recovering from some surgery and some meds that make it more difficult to lose. But recovery is well underway and meds are done. I have a trip planned end of August (actually 4 weeks from tomorrow) and plan to have the weight back down a bit. Excited to get it done!

@1skholloway - Thank you for sharing. Your story is inspirational. I have been losing weight using the same healthy method. Over the past month, though, I have gotten a bit off-track while I haven't been able to maintain my usual routine. I got up this morning and smiled knowing that new days are wonderful. I look forward…

@cds2001 Best wishes with your move. @2020pinktogo Thank you. Our landscaping project has thrown me a bit out of routine. The things that I do to help lose weight begin with getting enough sleep. That has not been able to happen for about a month or so. During that time, my weight increased from 155 up to 164.5. Sleep is…

Gained 0.5 pounds :( I think I've made the necessary changes to get it going back down. I guess I'll know by next Monday!

I have continued to gain a bit. This week, landscapers are done and my life can return to quasi-normal. My goal today is to complete menus for the week and get a bunch of office work done.

Jeri - Happy Birthday!!! Lin - I loved picturing your confused little birds wondering what happened to the tree. We were suppose to be at our camper this past weekend but the air conditioner didn't get repaired in time. So, we stayed home and played instead. Today, we will probably be working outside in the yard this…

Gained .6 pound :# Too much 4th of July celebrating!

Wow! I haven't been around for about 2 weeks and there were 206 new posts! I guess I must simply jump back in with Happy Belated Birthday wishes to Buzz and Diane! Our landscaping project is almost complete. I'll post a pic when it's done. The music recording son is working on a new artist contract and I'm learning more…

Mystery solved!

I would like to join.

Hello Linda. I think I may be the baby of the group. This group is so supportive and inspirational. I'm married and mother of 2 adult sons that still live at home. The eldest just graduated from college with a degree in Marketing and is looking for full-time work. The younger son is a music producer/recording engineer. He…

Looking to loose about 15 pounds by Labor day.

Today was a yard work day. Tomorrow will be back in the office. Also, we have a landscaping project starting tomorrow. The company doing the work seems to do really good work and they were recommended by someone we know. So figuring all will go well.

Well, I've floundered from January through May. I'm also taking June more seriously. My goal is for the low to mid 140s by Labor Day.

Hello, I'm Marcella. I've lost 33 pounds since joining MFP December, 2014. I have been stuck at the same weight for about 5 months now and I'm ready to lose some more. I want to welcome Labor Day much closer to my goal weight. I have about 20 pounds to go. I enjoy camping, gardening and walking/hiking. Thank you, Sara, for…

Day 1 of our landscaping project - Turns out the utility companies had given the landscaper a clear ticket to do the work, but they had not actually marked the utilities in our yard yet. So the only thing that can happen today or tomorrow is to cut down a tree. Yep, it's Monday! :s On an up note, I'm awake early today so I…

1/2 pound gain. :o This past week, at one point, I was up 5 pounds! (Obviously some water weight in there.) But started using a new food/nutrition tracker and was able to get it back under control. I've never been so happy with a 1/2 pound gain, given that it could have been much worse. Marcella
