Sally, I really understand and relate to "how hard I can push" after 4 knee surgeries and a knee replacement I am always worried that I am going to do damage to my knees. That is one of the primary reasons that I have signed up for private sessions with a trainer..She has a Masters in Kinesiology so figure she should know…

First thing this morning we went to the courthouse to support my niece on divorce day...but again it didn't happen...he has asked for delays so many times now the judge is getting pissed off at him...good let the judge get pissed and maybe it will benefit my niece at settlement. WE met with her attorney and with several of…

What a woman you are Mimi...SQUASH for breakfast! :noway: Wow, I have to hand it to you sweetie, I am not a fan of squash at any meal and to eat it for breakfast, well...it is just mind boggling to me..but whatever works for you. :flowerforyou: We were invited to our nieces for swimming and eating today and decided not to…

I know it is just a baby step but I am so proud of myself....One of my July goals was to talk to a trainer at our gym and find out about setting up a weekly session with her. So yesterday when it was fresh in my mind I did just that...she will be on vaca all next week but I will start the week of July 16th with an…

I am trying to stay on track with going to the gym 3x's a week, I have started a new ticker today with a new goal weight. I think I have myself in a good mind set now and trying to keep on the straight and narrow with my food tracking and choices. It seems easier for me in the summer with so many great fruit and veggie…

TGIF everyone, Here I am back again, I am sorry to say I am a yo-yo poster but worse than that a yo-yo dieter....I know diet is the not the word of choice and maybe if I really embraced that concept and just had a healthy balanced food plan all the time I would do better...But, and this is a big one, sweets are my downfall…

Have had a pretty bad week, not tracking, not exercising and eating things I should not eat. I've felt lethargic and achy all week and just could not make myself do anything, having major knee problems again, very swollen and painful, I probably need to go back to the orthopedic doc that did my knee replacement but afraid…

Happy Hump Day,:flowerforyou: I woke up to thunder and lightning:angry: this morning and much needed rain...all my veggies on the deck got a drink and saved us having to water... :flowerforyou: First day back at the gym yesterday, it was nice to see all those familiar faces and was welcomed back like a wayward child coming…

Hi Everyone, Remember me? I am turning myself in, I totally fell off the weight wagon and I am sheepishly reappearing for your wonderful insight, encouragement and support. I have been a notorious yo yo dieter for most of my adult life and I thought I had a handle on this stable weight thing but have gained back more than…

Good Morning everyone:flowerforyou: and thank goodness it's a new week as I totally lost my focus last week as far as food goes. :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: The dastardly pnut butter cookies are almost gone:devil: and I am so over them...I will get back to losing the rest of this weight now because I too want…

Why oh why do I sabotage myself??? Decided I just had to bake something today, I love baking..so I made gluten free p-nut butter chocolate chip cookies. These cookies are amazing...only ingredients are peanut butter, brown and granuated sugar, 1 egg, vanilla, baking soda and chocolate chips....and yet when they are baked…

Happy weekend everyone, Yesterday was supposed to be my first day of zumba at our gym but by the time we got ready, ate breakfast and drove the 27 miles to the gym we were too late for the class. We talked about it a little and have decided that it might be smart for us to do lighter workouts for a few weeks since we just…

I'm excited but kind of anxious about starting Zumba tomorrow..going to try to get there a little early so I can talk to the instrsuctor before class. I think it's fun to do I am just worried about keeping up, I guess it will depend on the ages of the others in the class. Will be back after tomorrow to give you a report on…

Susan 0816, I used to have problems finding this thread until I discovered the "My Topics" in the header at the top of the message board page....After you click Community at the top of the page, the message board page will appear, then click on MY TOPICS and the topics you have posted in will come up and you just click our…

Today is the day I officially get back in the MFP groove but was oh so happy to have lost 3 pounds this week just being a little more aware of what I was eating:drinker: , also could be that we were just about out of holiday goodies in the house so there were more healthy low calorie choices than before. Tomorrow is our…

Happy weekend ladies, Love seeing all the new names on here, you keep those of us who have been here a while on the straight and narrow and motivated. This week we are starting back at our gym...we both go together and once we are in the groove of going regularly we are pretty loyal to the regime, it's just getting our…

Good Morning to all of you wonderful, motivated and active ladies,:flowerforyou: I so admire everyone's zeal...:love: Virginia, you may be stuck temporarily with 4 pounds to lose but what an acheivment to have lost as much as you already have...it takes real determination and strenght for one to do that. We are having cold…

Thanks for the reminder about the water Laura, I need to get back in that mode of drinking more water each day...On the cruise I didn't drink their water because it is desalinated, I know that is supposed to mean that the sodium has been removed but everytime I drank the ship's water my ankles, face and who knows what else…

Hi everyone, :flowerforyou: We are back from our 3 months of travel and fun and I must admit to 3 months of non-stop wonderful food and drinking :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: too. But that is par for the course on cruises. I am happy to say that with all the delightful treats and gourmet food and champagne and cocktails…

HI ladies, our bags are packed, my hair is colored and cut, my hands are manicured and my piggies are painted pink with 3 little flowers on my big toes...so now I just have to try to make myself sleep tonight so we can leave in the morning. We won't be back until the end of November and I am so hoping I don't have to fess…

Good Morning everyone,:flowerforyou: sorry I haven't been here the last few days but have really been busy packing and doing everything we need to get done to leave for our cruise this Thursday. We'll be away for 40 days so it was really challenging to pack for South Seas temperatures,:glasses: 4 formal nights and then…

Good Morning everyone and a happy Friday to you all. :flowerforyou: Hope everyone has something fun or interesting or relaxing planned for the weekend. Today is the last time we go to the gym here at home until after the cruise at the end of November:bigsmile: ...the child in me is saying woo hoo because exercising is not…

Woo Hoo, today is a joyful day for me because I just weighed in and I reached my 20 pounds lost goal...I was so determined to not walk onboard the ship feeling bad about myself or unhappy because my clothes did not look or feel right to me....BUT before I got too full of myself I decided to change my goal and want to lose…

Good Morning lovely ladies, Our house is peaceful and quiet this morning, hubby had to have lab work done today so he was up and out very early. I am not home alone very often and really enjoy the feeling and having the house to myself at times. I stayed true to my food plan yesterday, went to the gym and and went to the…

I am sitting here laughing at the suggestions regarding the evil candies, put a note on the cupboard where they are etc..Because those candies are long gone, there is no way chocolate has a shelf life in my house....they are just a sweet, delishious memory now. BTW, the dress is not green, you are probably confusing it…

I've changed my ticker to reflect my newly adjusted goal weight.:bigsmile: ..even at that weight I will not be in the acceptable BMI range though. But, I know that I cannot go lower than my new goal weight or I am skin and bones and I don't like feeling that way and get comments that I am too thin or asked if I am feeling…

qofsheeba, you and me both girl, I eat very healthy meals for the most part, but my downfall has always been portion control, I was super skinny when I was younger and portion control was never an issue so I felt you could never get too much of a good thing, HA obviously you can because it added up to great detriment to my…

Good Morning, happy weekend and hello October! :flowerforyou: I have kind of been MIA this week because I have had a lot to do to get ready for our cruise...thank goodnes because that helps the time to fly by. Got to the gym 3x's this week and because I stepped up my exercise I have been sore, sore, and sore, a good kind…

Our plans to go to the gym were scrapped today when we woke up to driving rain:grumble: , but I have a ton of ironing that has to be done before we pack for our cruise so hope to put a big dent in it today...hmmm, I wonder how many calories ironing burns?:laugh: Yesterday I was really surprised and super happy when I got…
