Hi Fat Dancer, glad to hear you lost weight, but don't you just love losing the inches more? I do. The back will take a couple of months. That and the bus door that keeps freezing up on me isn't helping. But I'm maintaining! Blueberrybox, I've done that before when I wanted a change from salad. Salad and I are mainstay…

:flowerforyou: are you doing a happy dance? You should, congratulations!

but I really have changed how I eat. Today I was really hungry and it was a choice of a wall of chocolate staring me in the face or a can of almonds tucked away near the chocolate and the almonds WON! I really feel great that it didn't bother me in the least to walk by all the chocolate. I didn't think that was ever going…

Hi everyone, Wanderinglight you crack me up! Well let's see 1/2 hour of shopping = ? calories, had my hair done today, that took another hour, yesterday I had a massage, I thought that would help my back and it did. Double duty driving school bus today. Maybe I'll get to my Yoga tonight. Other than that not much to speak…

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know these words cannot ease your pain. I wish they could. I thank you for your husband's duty and sacrifice for our country .

Personally I take Centrum . On top of that I take extra Vitamin D and Calcium to ward off osteoporsis. That about does it for me. I'm sure everyone has their own favorite. Nice to talk to you.

Hi back again, sorry to hear about the migrains Vivia, that's a bummer. I went for 20 minutes snowshoeing. Later did 1 hour stretching yoga. Finished with 1/2 hour vacumming. So now I'm giving myself a treat, I made lowfat, lowsugar, cheescake pudding:bigsmile: And best of all, it's almost 8 pm and my back isn't screaming…

Hi, well it let me log on and when I clicked on MFP chat another box popped up and said AJAX chat and it wanted me to log on to that too. I did and it was downloading the page and I could see it and it said I was logged on, I could see where people were chatting then the page left and in it's place was the AJAX chat logon…

Mmmmm going to try that with strawberries:bigsmile:

Yipes, I forgot about Daylight savings, thanks for reminding me Niccole. I am snowshoeing today for about 30-45 minutes. Trying to build up without bothering the back. Got on the scale even tho weigh day isn't till tomorrow because I thought I would have more time today. Also did my measurements and nothing is changing so…

Hi Banks, it let me register yesterday but it didn't look like the same site today and I had to reregister and now it tells me I have an invalid username or wrong pin, help please.

Hey Banks thanks, for any of my friends, when I'm there my name is Thebusmommy. See all around in there sometime.~Karen

Hi there, welcome to the site, I hope you really enjoy it. I have a daughter named Melissa. Nice to meet you .

I just use Dannon Lite and Fit. I don't do all the different tastes because I usually eat it with granola.

Well everyone has been busy I see. That's great! I went out for a 1/2 hour on my snow shoes. My daughter and her friend were up so They went with me. Much nicer than doing it on your own even if we had to walk in the rain. Took a break to take her friend on a tour of the house so far. Then snow shoed home. My back didn't…

Mechanicmom of course housework counts. I'm counting an hour and a half grocery shopping because you end up pushing around a heavy cart the longer you shop:tongue: Maybe some snow shoeing after driving for an hour and a half and then maybe I'll just lay down on my heating pad for an hour. Gee does that burn any calories? I…

I know what you mean Amanda, I haven't gained weight yet but my will power isn't as great and I am constantly fighting overeating. Especially at night, lately all I want to do is eat and I'm pretty sure it's because it is what I always do when I hurt. I figure something has to feel good. I don't know what to tell you for…

Hi all, had to work almost non stop today so no real exercise. Just about 4 hours of driving school bus and 3 hours of sitting at a desk. Will do my PT tonight and did get my waters in. Julie just what is Zumba? I have never heard of it? Does pushing the button on the dishwasher count as housework?:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Alf you are sooo right. I was taking classes for about a year and can't wait to get back to it. I will just have to ask my PT person what moves I could try at this point. I don't think the hip isolations would bother my back but I will check when I go next week. I love the costumes as well as the dance as they are so shiny…

Julie, we received the ice in Vermont! Drove to the Town Hall in 4 wheel drive 1st gear. No exercise yesterday, worked a Vermont primary. Today was a snow day, make that an ice day. I did get out today after it finally stopped sleeting and then raining. Just starting out again on my snowshoes only 15 minutes on relatively…

:sad: Still no belly dancing for me. Maybe in another month. I'll ask my PT person. Hi Fat Dancer, how's it going? Sorry I haven't emailed lately.

ditto on the jaw dropping. I worked in the service industry for ten years as a manager and that is no way to treat anyone. Everyone seems to have good ideas for you and I can't think of any others. Sorry you had to go through that but glad you didn't punch the lady then you would be in trouble. Can't wait to hear what…

:bigsmile: Congratulations!!!! So happy for you and the good news. This site is amazing but the people who put in the hard work are even more so.

Yikes Easter three weeks away, I'm sure I won't lose what I wanted to but I am coming to terrms with how long it takes to get better. I did my PT today, drank all my waters and took my vitamins too. But that was all and I just lazed away the rest of the day and did not even get on the computer till 5:30. Sitting in front…

Welcome, wishing you well:flowerforyou:

Bumping along Singing a song Side by side!:heart:

Toward the beginning of February, I'm an Aquarius. I have been here since the end of Aug and have lost 42 lbs. Momof2mixedboys July is only 4 months away, I wouldn't plan on losing all 80 lbs by then, it just wouldn't be healthy for you. I think if you lost it steady and slow you will feel better in the longrun but I wish…

I posted a site on the I'm not bragging thread, check there if the one above doesnt' help.

Sorry I didn't come back to this post in a timely manner. The recipe said 10 minutes in the oven but they didn't cook all the way through so I threw them in the microwave for 4 minutes. I was in a hurry that night. But 10 minutes just didn't do it. And yes it was a tsp of butter, but I'm sure you could use a low fat brand.…
