Love paper books but my eyesight is declining and I finally got the Kindle app on my iPad - I am enjoying reading again! I also love to listen to audiobooks while I am on walks or working on my art and sewing. Is there a list going of great reads - I would love to get some recommendations. :)

Hi - I would like to join. I have been away from MFP for a bit and want to get going again. Thank you

Sounds like you are off to a good start. Welcome!

Fabulous Julie - I felt like I was walking every step with you! Excellent job!

Quest bars are good but are a little harder and chewy - Think Thin bars are good as well - maybe a better texture for my taste. I also use Great lakes Collagen protein powder - dissolves instantly in any liquid - I add it to my coffee. Maybe you could add some to her liquids for extra protein.

I live near Seattle and LOVE the PNW weather - I would much rather walk in the rain than have it be too hot. Yesterday was 85 and my son (a true NW boy) said -"I hate it when it is this hot - I would rather have the rain!" Keep in mind - most people here don't have air conditioning and aren't used to hot weather (or snow…

I have been making a lot of greek salad lately with tomato, cucumber, onion, lettuce, feta, thai basil (1 oz) and kalamata olives (4-6 as they have a lot of calories) I just splash some seasoned rice wine vinegar and add a T. of hummus for extra protein. Yum - Theres my lunch for today!

I can relate to both of you - there is so much emotion in these extra pounds I carry around and I think it can be scary and uncomfortable to open that up. I am a little nervous as I lost one pound this week putting me below 250 for the first time in ten years - I will always lose a few pounds but just wouldnt go below 250…

This is out of my comfort zone Sandy - owning my own business - I work every day- but today - I will not work - just try to rest and relax. (well I will…

It is great to see how everyone is developing self awareness - I think that is so important! My habit is daily exercise! I normally have eaten pretty healthily but I am soooooooo sedentary. When I started moving - I finally achieved the calorie deficit I needed to start losing weight. I have struggled with anemia most of…

Its going to be a busy, long day for me and I am already tired. I have to leave the Island which involves packing up everything I will eat for the day as I wont be home till late. I will try to fit in a walk at some point today - better remember to bring my walking shoes! Have a great day!

So Inspiring! I love their names - Ernestine and Velvet! I also like their attitudes - I don't think I would be laughing if I saw myself in a bathing suit right now! I am up early - lots of work today but I am feeling good. I am noticing that I am not so overwhelmingly hungry these days (i think there is something to the…

You can adjust them if you change your "Goals" on your home page - put in "custom" and you can vary them how you like. I have mine set at 30 carbs, 40 protein and 30 fat because I am trying to cut down on carbs but I am not doing LCHF - some people have higher and lower values - just depends how you want to work it. Hope…

It is hard when we have such a long way to go - I had a 3 pound weight loss this week but that is after 3 weeks of no movement on the scale. When I look at the big picture - I have lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks so that is 2 pounds per week but it was very hard to wait those three weeks to see the loss. I was frustrated because…

Dont wait for the inspiration to strike you - just get up and go for a walk and the next day - get up and go for a walk and the next... you will start to feel better and then you can add a longer walk or a faster walk. Just start doing it today...

Exactly how I feel about the wardrobe.I would love to be able to walk into a closet and everything fits and looks and feels great!

I will be interested to see what you find out. I am afraid of the idea as I dont like having anesthesia. I have heard you should wait one year after weight loss before surgery to give your body time to adjust. On the other side - I am curious.

Great job!

Thanks Karen - I also love to research things and I am feeling slightly obsessed with figuring out what will work for me to get where I want to be> I will google that and let me know if you ever do write your book - I would love to read it!
