I just got hijacked by Winchell's...UGH...well meaning sweetheart co-worker brought around the fresh ones, and I caved...swapped around my breakfast calories but mad at myself for the empty ones I scarfed down with a smile on my face while shrinking into self-loathing self on the inside... So, I thought I'd share! Just…

okay...guess can't use the @someonesnamehere function...sorry to whomever Sharon is for tagging you in my post!

@Sharon aka dreamwriter - thanks for sharing your goals!! They speak to me of how important they are...wish I'd thought of at least one of them for myself too... Have a great day everyone! Off to work in the desert...wear sunscreen everybody!

Hi there - newbie to the group...unsure how to do all the cool stuff like bold font and emoticons but now I see a toolbar above my typing, so I'm guessing I'll figure it out pretty quickly! You ladies are an inspiration already!! I turned 54 a week ago ... my doc has been pleased that the weight I put on over the past…

I think you have to decide what YOU want to do, and throw out all the other "opinions" from the "experts" trying to "help" you...congrats on your success thus far!! I'm thinking that you need to do what I had to do...stand in front of a full length mirror every day butt naked and tell yourself you LOVE your body just how…

Yes I've been bitten by a dog Allergic to fresh strawberries?

Hey everyone, first...let me respond to those kind souls that took a moment to think of me! @ skinnyjeanzbo -- I'm feeling fine...appetite has been up and down, so I already know I'll fall into the not enough calories trap if I'm not careful because I'm avoiding trigger foods, etc. Now that I know I should have a target of…

Katy Segal....when she was Peg Bundy and a "super hot sex pot" as my Uncle used to say...in a really creepy sorta way he did anyways...but yeah, that's from the pick of bright eyes and great makeup, etc....

Probably

@ Susan2396 - I'm not one to exercise like I should, or like I used to...but I'm working on it! Yes, I meant half my body weight in ounces of water daily....I feel I've accomplished a major battle to get 100 ounces in per day too!! To get 130ish in per day may not seem like a lot to some people, but when you're used to…

Possibly

Hey TwinRetro....CONGRATS on the 66 pounds!!! I'm sure it's even more now, and I'm diggin' that you wanna find out more about the community biz too!

Tuesday - Feeling great and my energy level is right where I want it to be. Someone gave me a Fitbit today, but they didn't have a charger, so I have to find one of those. I'm super excited to see what that will do versus using 3 different apps on my cellphone. LOL! My goal for today is to stay focused as I'm stressed over…

I feel like I need to clarify the "for me" part and get some opinions... I don't follow the MFP calorie count tracking part that gives me the gross caloric intake after exercise, etc. Right now, what works for me, is to keep to about 1500 calories or less per day, and light to moderate walking. When I start tricking myself…

Hello Everyone!! @ForeverDaniel - Thank you very much! I AM!! @Susan2396 - I'll gladly own that "such a loser" comment!! HA! @JNettie73 - Thank you kindly... @RobinsEgg - Danced the whole day away!! Thanks!! August Challenge (personal goal of 1500 calories, not what MFP says at 1910): 8/1: Under 8/2: Under 8/3: Under…

Hello everyone and HAPPY FRIDAY!! It's also the 1st of the month, and my weigh in date...so, I am very pleased to announce I went from 279.1 on July 25th (my birthday) and today it's 268.8 pounds!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!! This is extremely exciting and encouraging for me since I haven't seen the other side of 270 pounds in over a…

@LaurieKfantastic ideas!! I rarely watch TV but setting a timer is a priceless thought.....I tend to forget about time while in cyber world or kindle world or college work....this is something I can truly use!! You guys are all an awesome fount of information and encouragement...!!!

Thanks to those who provide instructions and visuals to help us return/navigate our way back here easily. I really like this thread/page/topic or whatever they call it, and want to make sure I keep coming back...LOL...my Wednesday Wish is to make it through tomorrow without any mishaps, and weigh in on the 1st of the month…

Possibly........

Absolutely I would and I have. Personality goes a LONG way with me, and I'm not a petite woman so I tend to gravitate towards men who are taller and make me feel comfy just being me. Helps if he's got big warm hands, and a wicked sense of humor too. If this describes you, and you're available...well...oh never mind...LOL!!…

Now THAT was cute!! Good job for qualifying it...this made me SMILE!!

Since I joined in so late, I don't have a month long list of July mileage, so my goal for this week is to keep tracking my food intake on here. Having just joined MFP about 10 days ago, it's been a HUGE eye opener to realize how many calories I was consuming and thinking "dang I'm doing GREAT compared to what I used to…

I've never posted on one of these message boards before, but I've read many since joining MFP on Monday...I really REALLY like what I've read so far in here...so how do I join this party?

Medical professional(s) have told me the general rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces of water...
