365 days!! 19 pounds gone!
Hello everyone! Today I logged in for my 365th day in a row. Today is also my 55th birthday! One of my favorite things to read on MFP is the success stories and seeing the pictures. I have read many encouraging stories and have seen many good tips and advice. Thanks to everyone! I didn't officially start a diet until the…

Is this cheating?
Today, I rode my bike 21 miles, including, hilly terrain. I made my best time ever this year, 13.7 mph. According to MFP between 12-14 mph was so many calories, but 14 - 16 was a significant increase. I went with that one, since rounding 13.7 would be 14. What does anyone think? Also, today, an NSV, of passing a couple of…

Your worst present
It doesn't have to be a Christmas present, could be birthday, etc.. What do you consider the worst present you ever got? I can think of a couple, but I think I would probably choose the stick vacuum cleaner from my mom. I think she was regretting that she bought it because her face looked nervous. I guess I should have…

The tyranny of the scales
:angry: :grumble: :sad: :sad: Well that about sums up the way I felt when I stepped on my brand new digital scales this morning! I had some really old scales, and I was pretty skeptical about the accuracy, but I didn't realize how bad. Now, I'm discouraged and wished I had never weighed. I even felt thin this morning!!!! I…

Today, I saw someone
Today, I saw a girl I went to grade school with. (40 years ago) I have probably seen her 2 times since we graduated 8th grade. She was a popular girl, and she was always mean to me, since I was one of the dorks. Today, with satisfaction, I noticed that she looked mean, not pretty, and she was a lot bigger than me! :smile:…

Thanks for sweet people!
Today, while riding my bike, I took a pretty bad fall. I'm sore, but nothing too major, but it looks like I will need a new bike. Anyway, as I was lying there, stunned and tangled, I cannot even count how many people asked if I was okay, did I need help, a ride, etc. I told them I was fine, and people kept asking. I know…

Hip pain advice
I have been having some hip pain, and wonder if anyone can offer some advice. My exercise consists of bike riding, walking, and light weight lifting (20 minutes, 2-3 times a week). I googled to see what kind of advice, but I think I am more confused. I haven't seen a doctor yet, I have never experienced this type of pain,…

What bugs you?
The other day I watched some kid take a spoon out of whipped cream on a dessert table and stick it to her nose to smell it! Yikes! I'm not using that spoon. I have seen adults do this too. Can't you just take a chance and eat it? Anyway, it BUGS me when I see people do it.

I counted this....
There are always people arguing about whether house cleaning burns calories. Well, today my sister and I tackled my mom's house. She is semi-invalid, smokes and the house hasn't been cleaned for about a year. We worked for 6 hours, washing walls, dusting furniture, cleaning blinds, washing windows, cleaning curtains,…

Why didn't the doofus cross the road?
That's what I'd like to know! Today, I am riding my bike on a four lane road, speed limit 35. I'm about 10 minutes from home, and going along about 20 mph. Suddenly, this guy steps into the street (not a crosswalk) and I think he's going to go on and cross. Wrong! He stands there and doesn't move!!! Not only did I have to…

Do you use the same bath towel every day??
I always wash the bath towels after one use. I have recently discovered that seems to not be the norm! I recently stayed at the home of an out of town friend, and they use the same towel day after day, I had 2 for the week. I have mentioned this to several friends, and most people thought I was weird! I am just kind of…

If every day were like today.......
Today, I got on the scale, no gain, no loss, so I decided to have a cheat day! YUM! I met a friend, and we had chips and salsa, and chicken fajita quesadillas at El Nopal. I didn't stuff myself, and it was wonderful! But, if every day were like today, I would gain weight, so back to the routine tomorrow!

What is the most complimentary or negative thing anyone ever
Recently, while discussing the shapes of our bodies, too big waist, too big bottom, too little bottom, etc., one of my 2 friends said I reminded her of a Barbie doll!!! Since I hate Barbie dolls, I was insulted at first, until I realized she meant it as a compliment! My other friend said nothing, so I assume she did NOT…
