December Gratitude and Chat Thread
Good morning everyone! Here I am back for my once a month check in. I have been with this group so long (2013 I started with MFP, maybe with this group too?) that doing my monthly weigh in just automatically leads to my monthly post! I would post more often, but now that I no longer track food or calories (God I am so glad…

June Gratitude and Chatting Thread
Good morning everyone! I am just stopping in for my monthly check in. I lost another 5.6 lbs this month by continuing on OMAD. I see that people had a couple of questions about it, so here are the basics. I started OMAD (One Meal A Day) after reading the book Delay, Don't Deny, which basically means that you can eat…

May Gratitude and Chatting Thread
Good morning everyone! I am taking the liberty to start the gratitude thread this month because I don't see one for May and I am just stopping in for my monthly update and I am in a time crunch. This morning I found that my loss this month brought me to 50 lbs!!! I hope for my loss in May to also bring me to a 50 lb loss…

January Coffee, Tea and Gratitude Chat
I will admit that I am coming into this year in very rough shape. I just spent the past couple of weeks driving hundreds of miles and spending thousands of dollars in an attempt to save my little dog's life and my efforts failed. He died in my arms at the University of Florida small animal hospital on 12/30. That said, we…

September Coffee/Tea and Gratitude
I am grateful, so VERY grateful that I discovered a diet called the Paleo Autoimmune Elimination protocol. It has literally saved my life. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone experiencing an autoimmune disease!

Fitbit Friends
I am going to start this one because we seem to have quite a few people with fitbits and because I really would love to increase my steps! Right now with the Leslie Sansone one mile workout and the cleaning/errands I do daily I am at a comfortable 6000 steps a day. I might keep that goal for another week because dh will be…

March Coffee/Tea and Gratitude List
This morning I am grateful that I am a bit settled after the upsets of the month of February. I am hoping that March will give me some more time to cope and not hit me with any NEW issues! lol
-
March Chat
I did not actually intend to start this. For some reason the gratitude list posted twice and I could not eliminate one, so I started March chat! lol I can only say that February was an absolutely horrible month for me. Getting a serious diagnosis simply knocks you off your feet for a bit. Also, my husband had some health…

February Coffee/Tea and Gratitude Chat
I am grateful this morning for the Capricorn trait of tenacity, known to my family, husband, and friends as bullheadedness. I have been beating my head against getting a little business started and the more obstacles the I butt into, the more stubborn I become. This IS going to work. lol I insist that it will! lol Janet

January Chat
I read an interesting article last night in Yoga Journal about New Years Resolutions. As a tool to keeping your goals for this year, it suggested doing creative visualization of the new you a year from now if your New Years resolutions are successful. Then write a letter from your new self to your old self dated 1/1/2017.…

November Chat
Well, yesterday was so far so good. I went to the ortho and my flexibility at this point is getting better every day. It is limited enough that he wants to look at an MRI and I have that tomorrow morning and a follow up appt on Monday. But he said if there is no rotator cuff tear that hopefully I can go with physical…

November coffee (or tea!) and gratitude list
I just had to add the tea lol. I am still flat out hooked on the matcha! I ran out recently and tried substituting other things while waiting for it to arrive and found that I really am hooked on it! lol This morning I am grateful for the fact that at this point in life we have developed so much resilience. I find that the…

A Plan for Holiday Survival?
I am so excited to be cooking our first Thanksgiving meal in this house! But I also want to stay on plan and be healthy! There are only the two of us (ok, there are the animals!) so hopefully this plan will work for us. I bought a roaster chicken for me and the dogs (I hate the term "people food" It was coined by dog food…

October Chat
Joell I hope you don't mind my starting this, I needed a place to say this. Is it just me or do we maybe need to stop posting on things that are a couple of months old so that they will fall off the list? I'm all about forward movement so maybe its just me. Anyway, just sayin.........

May Morning Coffee and Gratitude List
Well its good to wake up on the first of the month and find I lost 4 lbs this month! I might not be moving fast, but I am moving and I am grateful for it! I am grateful that my recovery from the surgery, which has also been slow, is moving along. Last night was the first time I was actually able to sleep in the bed (had…

Webwalking USA
http://walking.about.com/cs/measure/a/webwalkingusa.htm I decided that in June it might be interesting to start on this trail across the country! At the pace I walk, it will take me the rest of my life to get from coast to coast, but a few of you could reach it this summer! I am going to spend the rest of last two days of…

May Chat
Well I am just so ticked off this morning! I have been getting ready for a short trip on Monday/Tuesday so I have been doing a lot of running around. I used this an an excuse to skip my workout and yes, I did get my 6000 steps, but it was NOT the same as my Leslie Sansone workout. Then to top it off my dh ordered a pizza…

Morning Coffee and Gratitude List
During one of the most stressful times of my life, the last six months of a job that was wonderful for many years and horrible for the last six months (no fault of their own really financial crisis, etc), I developed the habit of saving my sanity by reviewing my gratitude list on my long drive to work. The job is long…

Fitbit
Ok, its FINALLY cool enough in Florida to start walking (in my opinion). I walked this morning and realized immediately it takes a different set of muscles than the exercise bike has! Oh how I need to walk! Anyway, I dragged out the fitbit and it seems to work ok, but I cannot get it to synch. It says that it does not have…

Cannot synch
I am sure this has come up before so I apologize if its a worn out topic. I cannot synch with my desktop computer. It says there is no internet connection. I have deleted it the program, reentered it, changed the settings. The device is on and seems to run through it program without difficulty. I have plugged it in and…

One Perfect Day
I just had an interesting piece of advice from someone on MFP who is not in this group. She has lost 36 lbs. Here is what she said: Don't look at the big picture because it can be overwhelming, set a goal of one perfect day. Once you have achieved that, see how long it takes to do 3 in a row. Then tackle 5 in a week. Look…

Why do I not complete my days!!!
Does anyone else have this problem? For the longest time I was simply on and off with logging. Now I have reached the point where I am actually good about checking in every morning and logging weight and breakfast. Lunch is a sometimes thing. But as the day wears on I drift away and get busy with things and simply do not…

April Challenge?
Would anyone be interested in doing a 5 lb weight loss challenge in April? I had mentioned this in another list but thought I should put it here to make sure it was seen. I thought perhaps it would keep my FOCUSED (slight problem there) and be a little jolt for Spring. lol

Inspirational Quotes and Articles
I believe that inspirational quotes becomes mantras and inspirational articles become motivation. One of my favorite quotes is "that which you focus on expands" That said, I am trying to read things to help pump me up and would love to see what others are finding as well. 1) This article is one that goes with one of my…

Tips and Tricks
I hope you all don't mind a newbie jumping in and starting a thread, but I just could not help myself. I see people in here who are so inspiring with their wonderful weight loss and positive changes and I thought it would be great for those like me, who are stuggling to get started, to hear some of the things that have…
