I'm having a rough time trying to get my walking in now too, Donna. Still not too bad here temperature wise - we're still having some double digit highs around mid-day, but mornings and evenings have been a couple degrees below zero some days. But it is pretty much dark by the time I get home from work and I don't like to…

Welcome! This is a great community! I've found everyone so supportive and helpful! And, totally off topic, but LOVE your town. Just came back from a trip there to see the Bruins and was there a couple of months ago to see the Red Sox. We try to go down a couple times a year - we're completely hooked, LOL! Feel free to add…

Hello and welcome! This is a great place to be!

Nope, you won't be at a disadvantage, LOL! I just got back from an extended long weekend in Boston and we are headed to New York for a week at the end of this month (which I think will be around the same time as you go away, but I'm not sure as we have already had our Thanksgiving here in Canada.) I believe your…

Wow, you have such a great attitude - I know you can do it!

OK, I'm back, everyone! Well, technically I've been back for a couple of days, but I wasn't in the right mindset, yet. I was still in vacation mode. Now I've gotten back on track (for one day, anyway) with the water, staying under my calorie goal, and walking again. I think I'm in the right frame of mind to continue on…

Great job, Beth! Keep it up!

I'm glad things are looking up for you, Linda. I hope everything goes splendidly with your Mom's surgery and you get your thyroid under control. Isn't the 30DS great? I think I need to do it again - I felt so strong last time.

Just a quick check in. I am going to come back to read all your posts later, but right now I do have to run out and do some errands. We just got back from Boston last night. I haven't done very well lately - I've been over everyday for the last week. I haven't done a weigh in this week, either as we were away. So I'm gonna…

I had a pretty good weigh-in on Saturday, down another 3.7 pounds to 260.6. I will strive for 250 by Christmas, but we are going to be very busy, so it's not going to be easy. We are going to Boston from Thursday to Saturday, so I'll be eating out too much again and at the end of the month we're going on a bus trip to NYC…

Happy Hump Day everyone! :smile: I'm off to my aquacise class in a few - that's one good thing about Wednesdays for me. Oh, and I made my 120km for October - just by the skin of my teeth at the last minute. Official count by my app - 120.16km. I won't be setting any mileage goals from November to March due to the…

This will be quick because I have to go get ready for aquacise, but I have a lot to do this evening after class, so I better check in now, or it will be next weekend before I get a chance again. I lost 1.1lbs this week, which I am quite happy with. I wanted to lose 1.6 to get to 56 (my ticker shows that anyway - it cheats,…

Leila - yes I remember the original Footloose, but only vaguely (memory's getting so bad in my old age - lol!) Now I want to see it again to refresh my memory (and of course, compare the two.) In this new one, Willard was my favourite character - he was just hilarious! And the kind of music that just makes you want to move…

Hey guys! I was just on my computer and wanted to check in with everyone mid-week to see how you are all doing! It's not often that I'm on my computer other than the weekend, so I do apologize for not posting more often. But I like to keep busy and keep myself from plunking down in front of the computer or television. Been…

Wow, another week has flown by. Couple more weeks and my bedroom furniture will arrive. I've already changed out the light fixture. The new roller shade has arrived, but this weekend was too busy to install that. I'm also going to change the outlets and light switch (from dark to white, so the whole room will be light and…

Beth, so sorry to hear of your sad news - you and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

What a great idea - I never would have thought of making my own tomato sauce (or had any idea how), but I'll have to give this a try! Thanks!

Well, I've had a super busy week, so I didn't have a lot of time for walking. Though I did get some in, it might make it difficult to get to 120km for October. But I'm still aiming for that and I think I can still get there. See last Monday was a holiday here in Canada (Thanksgiving), so I had the day off and decided to…

So sorry to hear that you're having such bad luck. I'm sure broken ribs must be very painful - I hope you heal up fast, so that you can get back to your walking regimen. Hugs! :heart:

I, too, like mine displaying how much I've lost and to keep that number going up. And, yes, I do find it very motivating as I keep striving to raise that number!

I've been here about six months and the support and encouragement is tremendous - you will love it here! Feel free to add me if you like. I still have a long way to go as well (probably 100+, we'll see when we get there), but have enjoyed some success with this awesome community on MFP!!! Good luck to you on your journey!

Hi Jacki, I'm Kristel. Your story sounds similar to mine - I think we have a lot in common (age, weight, goals, etc.) I will send you a friend request.

I'm over the moon this weekend as I lost 2.2 pounds this week and this time I felt like I deserved it. I worked really hard to eat right and exercise lots. So I'm now at 271.6 (272 officially). I will continue to make sure I bring at least one fruit and one veggie to work with me everyday. Of course, I'll continue the…

Great post - saving for later. I think I'd like to give it a try!

Hi Missy. I've been here about six months and I LOVE it. The support, encouragement, and motivation is awesome. For the first time in my life, I've been losing weight and not been tempted to give up because it's too hard. I still have 100 or more to lose and I think we have a lot in common. I have sent you a friend request.

Wow, congrats. That is great news! Good for you!

Thanks, Keri. You know, YOU inspire me with all your walking and workouts, not to mention all the encouragement you give. I walked 8.5km today. I'm trying to get to 120km for October. I don't know if it's doable or not, though, because the weather is pretty unpredictable for this time of year. So, thanks. :heart:

So sorry to hear about your father-in-law. Take care of yourself and your family. Hugs! :heart:

Sorry guys, I've had such a busy few days that I'm late posting. I've also been trying to severely limit any time spent sitting in front of the computer or television. (I spend more than enough time sitting at work.) All that time takes away from the time I could be moving my body. :wink: I did lose this week, but it was…

So sorry to hear about your Mom. But good for you for not letting that derail your progress. Best wishes to you and your family and for a good prognosis and outcome for your Mom.
