Good morning! I am slowly getting up the nerve to join our local Y. I am not a fan of going to a gym in general but I am also not a fan of aimlessly walking around the neighbourhood, although I do with my audio book playing. As I have fallen hard on my knees a couple of times this summer, I thought water aerobics might be…

Thank you so much for the help drkatiebug and M in Oz. I am feeling a bit silly as what is obviously (now!) forward and back was looking like quotation marks on my phone. A case of 100% operator error and the need for another eye checkup! Cathy in ON

Hello again! Thank you for the welcomes and welcome backs, it’s lovely to see the support on this forum. I have a question though - how does one go backwards and see the pages between the first one and the current, or last, one? I’m using an iPad and iPhone but don’t remember having this problem before. I wanted to answer…

Hello ... it’s been a very very long while since I’ve posted here but I’m so glad to see this fabulous board is still up and running. I haven’t set up my new goals yet although I know now that they need to be more incremental than before. I guess it’s a case of live and learn and try again! Anyway here’s to trying again…

Good luck today football fans, whichever your team! My personal goal is to enjoy the company, the game, and a wing or two or three, but to skip the dip that goes with them.

Hello Group, It's been several years (and several lbs) since I've logged in to this group but I remember how supportive everyone was, so I'm glad to see you are still here. The other night I read Dan Robertson's book "Born to Walk: The Transformative Power of a Pedestrian Act" and it was so inspiring and really made me…

I just read Wheat Belly and find the argument interesting and somewhat convincing although I admit I'm always a skeptic when it comes to being presented with 'best selling' scientific data. That said, I've decided to give it a try for two reasons: first, it doesn't seem as restrictive as South Beach which I had good…

Bump! So much happens in so short a time - best to all, I will catch up shortly but for now...trying my best to stare down the Girl Guide cookies sitting on the counter. If only carrots and celery came in chocolate and vanilla.

OH MY all this talk of gardens and we had snow this week! I bought a bunch of tulips yesterday and that will have to suffice for "Spring" for now, although the buds are out on the trees and the occasional daffodil is in the garden. Having trouble with portion size - seem's my idea of a cup is bigger than it really is -…

Hello! It's been awhile since I last posted - January I think, and October before that - haven't forgotten but going back to school was all consuming. Now that it is finished I realized I've put on the Freshman 15 (at 52!) so I definitely have to get moving again. Essays and exams are done so that should mean no more…

Well hello again and Happy New Year! It's been a long time since I've logged on (almost a year :ohwell: ) - but it was a long year at that but it is over, so time to start anew and re-vamp the old goals! It is nice to see some familiar faces and lots of new ones as well - I hope to get to know you all again in time.
-
Sugar and carbs like bread and cookies are my downfall too. Really I overindulged this past holiday - right up to the middle of January when enough was enough. When even the 'fat' jeans don't fit it is time to do something drastic. Drastic this time was Phase 1 of South Beach and was it ever successful! Now I'm introducing…

Thanks for the hint Sandara - I just must of missed the point of the "add" button - I'm on track now! I didn't get much walking in this weekend just one walk on Saturday morning. Snowing again here - how I would love to live near the beach too! Perhaps I can convince my DH to head south for a while, even a four-day weekend…

Managed only a short walk today with the pooch. I have a question though about adjusting the ticker. I've been going into Ticker Factory and re-doing it each time then adding to my signature, I'm wondering if there is a simpler way?

Hi - up here in Canada (I'm in Toronto) we got a fairly big dump of snow as it came up from Texas and then from Chicago. It wasn't as big a storm here as in some places and certainly not the amount predicted - but we don't usually get big dumps of snow anymore so it was quite exciting - schools and universities were…
-
Hello everyone :smile: I've been a way awhile but now I'm back again. I started January very determined and succeeded in losing what I'd gained since I left you all back in October - so now it's time for the real hard work to begin. It is nice to see familiar 'faces' and lots of new ones too! Yipee February - it means…

Hi, I'd like to join! This looks like a great spot and while I don't have a Leslie Swanson video (I'll have to work on finding one and a exercise ticker too!) I do want to increase my walking to be something more than my daily toddle with the dog. I'll try for 15 miles (aka 24 km) over and above my dog walking time.

Hello from Toronto.
-
I can't agree with SuzyQ more! I'm hoping October is going to be way more focused than September - September was totally hit and miss!! Lots of mindless eating...well, time to try again! On the run to see my DS between flights as she heads to Peru to do mission work for a month, so really this is to mark my spot and I'll…

When I was a recruiter for the Canadian Forces I had an applicant who failed his fitness test the first time round but he was so determined to join that he started walking to get his weight off -- and I do mean walking! That guy walked everywhere - in all types of weather - and for about a year I'd see him walking around…

Good Morning Ladies - I'm back after a long, and somewhat unexpected, summer hiatus. Nothing bad, just pure laziness :embarassed: on my part and some travel, and yes I'm paying the price :ohwell: will only myself to blame. So as summer is over and I squeeze into my jeans for the first time in awhile, I'm back and trying…

Hello everyone! I'm back from holidays, company and just a general feeling of lethargy! Our trip around the States was great, 8 states in 12 days and a visit to the in-laws at the end. Then we had some company which was nice, then a week of feeling yucky...I haven't tracked my eating for a long time now, haven't logged on…

Hello everyone! We were away Saturday night to visit friends in the lovely Niagara peninsula – wine country! :drinker: Yummy but not so good for calories – although I didn’t do too badly as my DH and I went for a nice long walk early Sunday morning before everyone was up (lots of hills) so that helped! I tried my best to…

Forgot to say 'thanks' for all the hot flash tips! :smokin: I'd not heard of some of them before so I will research it all a bit more and see what would work for me.
-
Just popping in quickly, I'm trying to get the trailer ready for our trip South - DH has decided that 2 weeks away is just what's needed, so a week from now we're heading to Cap Cod! Which is great 'cause I read Nathanial Philbrick's "Into the Heart of the Sea" this winter and it's all about whaling in the New Bedford…
-
Robin - just had to follow up with you on those hot flashes! I mean really - what's with them!! :noway: I don't know about you but I can't even eat, drink, walk or talk without the sweat just rolling off me at just the most unexpected moments - like in the movie theatre, I mean seriously, thats nuts!!! Honestly, every time…

:flowerforyou: This does seem to be a challenging month for many of us with parents and children – I guess we are at the age when we get to be the meat in the middle and get to try to keep it all together. :ohwell: You are so right in saying this Rebel, but it is a hard task sometimes. I’ve often wondered how it can be…
-
Not too long today but I want to catch up from the weekend – need to get going and walk Whiskey as he’s looking at me very accusingly! Welcome to berrybabe, SilverVal, tcac and Belinda. :flowerforyou: Happy Birthday Tiarapants, sounds like you had a lovely day. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Thanks MacMadame for sharing how…

not sure why I'm seeing double again!!

Michele - I meant to add that you might check your library for iPod downloads. Mine has an online database that lets you download various books to your iTunes then shift them over to your iPod. It has books for other types of mp3's as well. It's a two-week loan and then it times out and disappears somehow. I also borrow…
