WELCOME! Now, use the group as it was intended and Start Talking with us! LOL! @thebrocheter Welcome…

LOL! I Love that y'all like my idea of having Tall Days! It's something that I've been saying since I was a kid! @pneschich I hope your surgery went as planned! My thoughts are with you! Newbies- WELCOME! You've found one of the BEST group of folks on Myfitnesspal as far as I'm concerned! Settle in and start chatting!…

Hi Guys! Sorry to be doing yet another "drive by" posting! I'll do personals on the next post though I promise! Welcome to all the New Folk! You've found the right place for you! These folks are an Awesome group! Well, this week has definitely been better on all fronts for me. On Saturday I got a phone call from DH. After…

Thank You @birgitkwood @RobinB0812 & @bapcarrier for the encouraging words! I was needing them more than I thought! To those having setbacks this week... How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! And that's all we can do... Keep plugging at it. This is not a race, this is for the rest of our lives! Thursday Truth -…

Hi Guys! I promise I've not gone AWOL on ya! It looks like everyone is kicking those calories in the kiester and getting their Fit On! Way To Go! AFM, life has really turned into a whirlwind of excrement since my last post on the 23rd. The Bad - Hubby and I had a huge blowup and he's not been living at home for the last…

Everyone, Thank You for all the positive comments! @gullagr – Way to get your Fit On!! @pneschich - I’m so happy that you’ve been able to take off “the boot” and get some walking in! It really sucks about your surgery being postponed, but You’ve Got This! Another month is just a drop in the bucket compared to being healthy…

@RobinB429 *Waving Back atcha!* Thanks for the Welcome! @whitebear4513 Welcome aboard!!! Like you, I've been struggling with my weight (and losing that battle) for my entire life. Since finding MFP a few years ago, I have done my best at losing more because it holds us accountable and adding on a group like this one I've…

Hi Guys! Another Old Newbie stopping by to say Hey! It's been far too long for anyone to remember me here, and there are so many new names (Yay!) that it's like a new group to me! I've been off the wagon for the past couple of years and have slowly creeped back up to nearly my original starting weight again. 2016 was a…

Hello Everyone! Monday Check In: I've been Bad Bad Slacker Jenn this month with my eating, with my walking, with keeping up with the thread. I've let stress and this crazy month get the best of me, but thankfully I've not added a ton of extra weight to my list of ills. I've been playing with the same 5-7 lb all month long.…

Just dropping by to save my place and give a miles update. I’ve been so slacking but I’m heading out the door to try to get a couple of miles in between showers today. I hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend! Much :heart: & Hugs! Jenn :flowerforyou: P.S. No More Cake! LOL! :explode: :laugh:…

Good Afternoon Everyone! The clouds are finally parting here in my spot of the world and it’s looking like a Beautiful Thursday out there! This week and next week are all mucked up for me schedule wise so I may be a little scarce. June is my float month at work and they “floated” me off my regular schedule two weeks…

I"m 5'2" and started at over 300#. My so called "Healthy Weight" is 119# which I haven't seen since middle school (i'm in my 40's). My goal on paper right now is to get under 200# where I've not been in over 20 years. My ultimate goal is... I don't know and I won't know until I get there. There are people on here who have…

Good Morning Everyone! Sunday Share – Hi! I’m Jenn, I live in the Heart of Dixie (Alabama), and share my life with the Hubby of nearly 17 years at the end of the month and 3 cats (Teensy, Arnie & Moo). I’ve been heavy all my life, and have been on one diet or another off and on since I was 8 years old. Of course, they…

Hey Y’all! I’m determined to get caught up and get all my personals in tonight while I wait for Hubby to come home from work so be warned… This one’s gonna be a doozy! First and foremost, everyone has been doing an Ahh-Mazing job on their mileage! You guys Rock the Casbah! To the New People of the Thread: WELCOME WELCOME…

I sat here crying happy tears for you (and some hopeful tears for myself too) as I read through this post. Jesse, you are truly an inspiration! I would love to be a runner, joint issues just don't allow for it at the moment but I'm walking and hope that the issues will resolve themselves as the weight comes off. Just…

Happy Memorial Day Eveyone! Please think of me when you are laying into some of that fabulous grilled food today while I sleep, and I’ll try to get in a few Z’s for you to get you by until after your festivities. And remember... Don't :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: too much! Let's Be Careful Out There!…

Saving my spot and giving Laurie and Tom my miles for now. It's been a busy week here, I'm doing better on my goals, and the stress seems to be getting a little better or I'm just getting more use to it. Time will tell! I"m hoping to get caught up with the board soon! Welcome to all the New Folks! Happy Birthday Robin!…

Wow! I’m Three pages behind already! Goodness time does fly! I've got to head off for my nap before work tonight, so only time for a quick update and mileage for now. I hope things are where I can get caught up tonight. We shall see. :wink: I'm sorry y'all, I've got to vent a little... You've been warned! :tongue: I've…

Just a quick check in and miles update. Oh goodness…. I was just reading my post from yesterday and realized that I said I made my steel cut oats Chia flavored. LOL! I Meant to say Chai flavored! I think they are slimy enough without chia seed added in. :noway: I was lazy this morning and didn’t get my walk with Leslie in,…

Hey Ya’ll! I got some extra steps in this morning because of a meeting at work and having to park 2 blocks away. It was a nice walk to get my day started! When I got home, I decided to try to do some of the Make Ahead steel cut oats for my breakfasts the rest of the weekend after I get off work. I did them sort of chia…

Over the years I've tried multiple pedometers and none of them worked at all for me. I got a Flex in March and it's the only thing that will track my steps anything like accurately. I"m sure that it over estimates some, but I've been Very Happy with mine! I don't use an I Phone so can't answer that. Sorry!

Hi guys! Just a quick update and a few personals for me tonight… @ Mahogany – Welcome to the Thread! Things move fast here, so get comfy and jump in whenever you like! @ Heather – Happy Anniversary to you and the Hubs! I hope he took you somewhere really good! To stay under calories on stressful days and celebration days…

Hi All! WOW we are Rocking the May Miles Challenge! Great Work Everyone! :glasses: No much to report today for me. Hubby and I spent most of yesterday getting the yard and out building cleaned up. I got to ride the mower for the first time this season… I Love mowing with that thing! I think I feel powerful or something on…

Good Evening My fellow Warriors! I hope that everyone’s Mother’s Day weekend went well! I was glad to get to spend mine with my Mama and had a good visit with no major foibles! Yay! I am afraid though that Mama will need me close to her sooner rather than later. She’s 82 and has been doing really well on her own for nearly…

Hey Y'all! I'm just doing a quick "drive by" to update Laurie on miles. Mom didn't feel so great yesterday so we stayed in and today has been rainy all day. We did at least get out to the Wally World, and tried a new BBQ place in town today with a friend. I also got a quick stroll in between showers but that's pretty much…

Good Evening! I hope that everyone’s week is going swimmingly! I’ve had a busy three nights at work and had to do most of it on this stinking sore knee. Came home each morning, medicated up, and went to bed with an ice pack strapped to it so hopefully it wouldn’t be too swollen or sore to work on the next shift. It's going…

Hey Y’all! Happy Tuesday, but it’s MY Friday! YAY! @ Leah_e_84, Nyla & LauraJayne – Welcome to the Greatest Thread on MFP! I hope you find your niche here and come back often! @ Tanya – Geocaching sounds like such fun! I got an app once and thought about trying it, just never ventured out. @ Laurie – YAY for you and your…

Happy Sunday Everyone! I hope that everyone’s weather is bright and breezy like mine has been today! We’re supposed to hit 84 Degrees today. Unfortunately I’ll be missing it because of napping this afternoon for my 12 hour night shift tonight. Three more to go and it’s time for my monthly 8 day stretch off along with a…

Happy Sunny Saturday Afternoon My Lovelies! I hope everyone’s day is as beautiful as mine! Hubby had a surprise Saturday off today, so I talked him into going to the Pepper Place Market with me this morning to look around and get a nice outside stroll in. It’s an organic Farmer’s Market with food stands and a few crafts…

Hello Everyone! Whew! I FINALLY got caught up on my board reading!!! Sorry that this will be a HUGE post! I've been terribly remiss in keeping up with the board lately and I think I've definitely suffered for it. I had no idea how much just reading all of your inspiring posts lifted my spirits, kept me motivated and got me…
