One Chocolate Chip Cookie
Cookies are everywhere at work today. Yes I had 3. I even logged them in my diary. FYI, one Sam's Club chocolate chip cookie is 190 calories.

I rode bareback last night
So I mentioned my fear in another post about goals. I was so happy to see I am not alone. As I age I have the desire to go galloping through the park or try some small jumps. Then my fear kicks in and says "Do you really want to get on today? What if we get bucked off?" Most days I don't let my fear win. I climb on anyway.…

Am I always going to have to weigh, measure and log?
In 2014 with the help of MFP I lost 78 pounds (actually it took 2 years). Slowly I have been putting the weight back on. This week I am at 183lbs. That is a 28 pound gain in 2 years. At this rate I'll be back to 200 by 2017. I did not go back to my old habits of eating fast food or a lot of junk. I just ate more with a…

One Small Change
I was just at lunch with my coworkers and we were talking about the one small change we could make to help with our weight loss. So this is a post where you have to be honest with yourself. What is one small thing you can change that would probably help you with your weight loss? For me it is those little stolen bites that…

Almost 9 pounds
I am almost 9 pounds heavier than I was this time last year. It has been a rough year, but with good and bad changes. It got me thinking about how the majority of people put weight back on. This is why I think I put the weight back on. 1)Work was stressful, got a promotion a little less stress and more money. 2)My dad…

did a speed show this weekend.
I am not a barrel racer, can chaser, whatever you want to call it. My daughter and her boyfriend went for fun. I decided to give it a try. To slow for a ribbon, but I had a blast. This is one more peek to losing weight. I can try new things.

Women with muscles
I went to a body building competition with hubby this weekend. Once again I was impressed with the over 40 women's figure competitors. They have just enough muscle to look awesome. My family doesn't understand my desire to look like that (with the exception of dear hubby who is already a competition body builder). I don't…

changing my diary settings
I did it once before and now can't remember how. Does anyone know how to change the percent of carbs, protein and fat you need in a day. I had changed my fat and protein numbers, but now I don't know how I did it. Thanks in advance for your help.

I just couldn't stay friends
I was recently sent a friends request by a young lady that I feel may have an eating disorder. I am only basing this on her posts and the fact that she was 101 pounds and calling herself greedy etc. I tried to be nice, sent positive comments, at one point suggested counseling. In the end I just removed her as a friend. I…

I want to lift more often - Is it too soon?
So I was working with a personal trainer when I started my weight loss journey. At the time she said not to lift more than twice a week until I lost more fat. At that time I was over 200 pounds and she had me concentrate on large muscle groups and core strength. I am down more than 70 pounds and really want to see more…

Feeling sad..I have decided to sell my daughter's gelding
It is just to much to keep up with his leg. We had it under control. Then had a couple of really rainy weeks. Busy with school, work, more work and life. We slacked on the leg and now there is another flair up. He obviously needs to go to a home that has time to care for the leg properly. I know it is the right decision. I…

Geldings
So good news all around. 11 pounds and I can ride Scout under saddle. He has been working with a girl once a week under saddle just so he knows it isn't always bareback. I hope to loose that last 11 by October. I would like to try a walk trot class in November if Scout is ready. Just a simple flat class. Don't want to push…

Where you and your horses live.
I was driving to see my friend the personal trainer yesterday and I got to thinking about what a unique City I live in. I am in Pinellas Park, FL. We are on the west coast about half way down the state. I am about 15 minutes west of the beach. We have a decent mall, lots of restaurants, a big movie theater and not building…

What do you do to cheer yourself up.
Okay, I am female, I am emotional, some days more than others. I am intelligent and know that weight loss isn't linear. (Although I wish it was) Today the scale went up from last week. I knew it would, I celebrated my birthday and my Mom was in town so I went to a couple of family gatherings. To remind myself I am doing…

A good vet visit
Dr G came out to check on Chico. His leg will still take time to heal but no new proud flesh, nothing he needed to scrape away. Even starting to get some nice healthy looking pink skin. Still a big wound, still putting steroid powder on it that vet gave me. When that is all gone he said to use an over the counter steroid…

Planning ahead
Okay, the only stupid question is one not asked right? So I know I will be having a slice of French Silk Pie from Perkins on Wednesday. I looked on the database and know the calories are high. So if I cut back a little today and a little tomorrow will the result of the 3 days still net out? I would normally not be to…

Vet comes back again
Dr G is coming to visit next week. Going to work on that proud flesh on Chico again. I told him I want a do over. The Equiade works but slowly and is very expensive. I have switched to meat tenderizer. Spoke to Dr G about that yesterday. I am going to continue with that until he comes out. He said to keep it away from the…

I had a great little ride this weekend
I hopped on Scout again. I haven't been on in 2 or 3 weeks. I just rode bareback around the yard, My daughter decided to pull out her gelding and join me. It was fun. I love being able to share my passion with my daughter. My oldest is not to interested. My granddaughters are animal lovers but don't have the same passion…

male bodybuilding competitors- I have a question?
My hubby and I don't agree, just want to see what other opinions might be. Small show coming up - would of been considered level II before NPC got rid of levels. There is a male 1st time competitor going into this show. He is over 40 middle weight. Coach wants to put him in Open class. I feel like he should be in Masters…

How heavy is too heavy to ride?
Scout is 3 years old and fine boned. He is just a tiny bit over 13hh. I have been waiting until I reach 150lbs to get on his back. My daughter hops on him once in a while, but he does not get ridden often. I have a friend that is coming home for the summer and she offered to put some miles on my baby. She weighs 170. That…

Proud Flesh
anyone use Equiade for proud flesh. Just bought some for a spot on Chico's leg. Had the vet cut it off two weeks ago but with the FL moisture it grew back. I read the reviews on the internet and I think it will work, plus they have a money back guarantee.

Anyone taking or have taken Meloxicam?
The Orthopedic doctor gave it to me for a knee injury. Works great, took away the pain and swelling. Also gained 1.4 pounds in 2 days. Read the side effects and unexplained weight gain is one of them. This is a short term Rx until I get the MRI and find out what is wrong with my knee. I am looking for someone else that has…

20 Years of Fat
I am not done, but yesterday I stepped on the scale and now weigh 179.4. This is the lightest I have been since 1994. I have lost the fat that I have been carrying around for the last 20 years. Not done yet but I feel so great and I hope that I can inspire at least one person to keep going Not sure how to add pictures.

NewScale Needed
I am shopping for an affordable but accurate bathroom scale. Prefer digital with .1 or .2 weight loss increments. What do you guys use? Price? Accuracy?
