Hi everyone, I see you are all keeping busy. Today we had a half day of school so it felt like I had just dropped off my students and turned around and picked them back up. It was a pretty full and noisy bus but it usually is on a Friday. Whale wars? I don't remember what WanderingLight was doing, but she's been gone for…

Top Chef, America's Next Top Model, Survivor, NCIS and House.

Today I am grateful I have : A job A warm place to live Food on my table The love of my family My health

Hi all, Sorry to hear you are sick V, hope you feel better soon. Yea for Renae, I have to pay in this year. First year with out a child to claim. Oh well, I'll get used to it. Mary good for you working out! All I managed today was a 10 minute brisk walk in -4 weather. MM I just have to say I love the positive vibes you are…

Ok last to post:grumble: Oh well. Goals met today: waters healthier eating almost within my calories 1/2 hour on treadmill laundry positive mood Hope everyone had a good day. Kinda busy so I can't talk.:grumble:

Ari, unfortunately I did pig out last night and ended up feeling sick! Ugh don't want to do that again for awhile. MM you are really talented, I bet he likes his bed very much. I haven't been on for a few because my daughter fell the other day and severely sprained her ankle so I have been doing the running for her(well…

When I really think about gratitude I find there is so much I take for granted so I want to list many items but I will limit it to three. Getting all my students home safely during the storm today. Knowing most of my family are safe at home. Having the ability to talk to people I will probably never see but whose support…

MM I will do the sweets challenge with you. My birthday is the 5th so I will start on the 7th with you. We can be strong! I will also try to get a walk in everyday to test the theory that it will curb the cravings! Hi Mary, thanks for the tip, Hi Bobbie, I hope you find something soon! Goals today- all my waters-done…

Thank you for listening to my whine. I will to get out more, but today it will just be to shovel snow, lol. I do believe I probably have a little SAD going on, I really love sitting in front of the window when it's sunny so maybe that's what I am craving along with the carbs:laugh: :laugh: . I just know I don't want to get…

Hi all, 1/2 day of school today because of snow. Get out the chains, cause I'm going to need them! I'm pretty used to it though. I haven't exercised since last Friday and I just am getting worse. I really need to get kick started again somehow but can't find the motivation I need. This shouldn't be this hard but all my…

Hi, just wanted to welcome you to MFP, I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as I have. :flowerforyou:

Today I'm grateful I 1. Found this thread which I am still trying to read. Its upbeat and I need that. 2. My mom isn't sick from the chemo yet. 3. I could get out of the 2 feet of snow I fell down in while snowshoeing, because absolutely no one was going to rescue my sorry butt this morning! LOL

Hey lots of people on here today! Great! Vivia I hope you feel better soon hon. Welcome to Chelseachick and Jamie_W Congrats on the 2.5 lbs MM, you have very ambitious goals, I hope you get them all done. Where did CP go? Mary, my daughter stole my tape measure but I don't need it because my pants are yelling at me lol If…

I didn't think there would be this many people that were 5'4". Of course I started at 205 went down to 160 and have gone back to 178(emotional eater who had bad news). I would like to eventually get to 140-145. So I have a long way to go. Just need to find a little motivation again. Winter does it's own number on me…

Hi all, hope you feel better AD. I'm around so many little kids with colds I think I have built up an immunity. Yea for me! MM, I bet he really did like riding. My kids did. We had an old clydesdale named Linda and they all took turns sitting on her for years. She is now gone and we didn't replace her. Sorry to hear you…

Two eggwhite omelet with green peppers, onions, mushrooms and cheddar cheese.

Poached in a little white wine with lemon. Steamed Broccoli and Cauliflower and brown rice made with chicken stock. It makes a nice little meal. Bon Appetit.

Hey I'm glad I checked back here, nice to hear from you Niccole. Long time no "see" lol. Renae you can do it! I have faith in you. And yeah isn't it a bummer to see the ticker move the wrong way. I actually put in my actual weight so I could see progress as I go along again. But I am only weighing myself once a week. That…

Oh MM I feel your pain. I too am eating emotionally. If it takes concentrating on just one goal at a time then by all means just concentrate on that one. I hope you feel better soon. People don't just get physically sick, there is other ways to feel sick, I call it an emotional cold lol. Somedays are just harder than…

Well missed a day, and haven't gone to read yesterday's so I hope this finds you all well. Just wanted to check in and say I actually got on the treadmill the last two days so there is hope for me lol. I will try to post more tomorrow, just really busy tonight.

MM that was just too cute! Thank you for sharing his tumbling class with us. I think he was really enjoying it! I know I enjoyed watching it. So today will be waters, salad for lunch, a 30 to 40 minute stroll on the treadmill after bus tonight. An appropriately portioned supper. Not much but all I am up to today. It was…

Yum! Love ruby red grapefruit! With lots of sugar! Oh well fake sugar!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Welcome back. We are only frozen about 5-6 month ofin the year, nothing really(can you hear the sarcasm?)!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: See you all tomorrow. Goodnight.

Wow so I don't feel alone, today was a double job kind of day. Everyone is kind of blah! First bus driving and then working for the town in between. I did manage to walk 20 minutes around town on my lunch break. No salad for lunch though. I am feeling really tired from the snow shoeing yesterday I guess, I just don't have…

Yea, one more day of eating better and more exercise! I snowshoed for about 35 minutes with hubby, daughter and daughter's significant other. Took a small break and then my daughter and I went sliding with her dog running along side to keep things interesting. He stole my mitten at one point. That was about 20 minutes so I…

Hi, I live rurally and have no gym nearby. Exercise can take many forms, you just have to be creative.I rely on dvd's for some cardio, a treadmill for the bad weather days,and a set of snowshoes for the winter.In the summer I walk on our gravel roads and I have a total of 4 gardens to weed hoe and in the fall I am raking…

Happy Early Birthday! I'm 50 and the big 30 and 40 didn't bother me, and I feel better at 50 because of this awesome site!

Just popped in to say hi and see how everyone is doing. Just getting ready to go snowshoeing before I have to drive the middle school to their basketball game today. Trying to get a little in everyday. todays goals: all my waters snowshoeing staying in my calories no chocolate( should be easy they are all gone now lol)…

Don't be sorry! Maybe they are saying it because they wish they were losing weight. Another thing might be that you usually lose water weight first and it will slow down. It did when I started losing. How tall are you? Does the BMI tool say you are underweight? Check it out. Hope all goes well for you:flowerforyou: .

Hi girls, my good news for the day is I went out for a an hour of snowshoeing yesterday and hope to get a short walk in today after I drive the bus. That and DH went grocery shopping with me and we bought all the fresh stuff I like to eat for my "diet". I don't think of it as a diet really, just a better way of eating.…

Thank you for letting me know I wasn't alone. It made no sense to use this site if I wasn't going to get back on track and I needed to admit I really messed up. But there is no sense in beating myself to death mentally because it won't change the physical me. I am finding it really hard to give up bread, but I know it is…
