Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Great idea, Elaine! I am , and I am 66 years old, a (mostly) retired nurse who lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with my adult daughter, three Labrador retrievers, three cats and an elderly thoroughbred horse. I lost 50 pounds earlier this year but gained some of it back over the holidays. I need to lose about 70 more. Portion control is what it is mostly about for me as well as better choices.

I was picking on someone about wanting to lose weight quickly, but I think you have really summed up everyone's feelings! Unfortunately, I think the only way to lose it quite that quickly is with the chain saw diet, but it certainly expresses our desires! lol JanetSee AOL's top rated recipes and easy ways to stay in shape for winter.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Chainsaw diet, lol. That's a good one.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oak is what I have been splitting! It gets very hard but I have found if I sink the ax in well then insert some wedges in the crack and use the maul to pound them down, it splits nicely. Trouble appears tho when you run into some old heavy duty wire that grew into the tree at some unknown time in the past! Lol Sometimes the wood already has some cracks from the drying process, so you just tap the wedges in and then give them some hearty whacks. It is kind of cool listening to the wood creak and groan as it gives way. (I know I am easily entertained! lol) The oak is all gone now tho so I have some two year lod pecan to work on....now that is some hard wood! Not sure if I can do it but it is all we have so I guess i will try! Jane Need you to come show us how to split wood, Jane. We have tons of wood, mostly live oak from the hurricane, all cut to fireplace size but none is split. Becca has put some huge logs on and it takes forever for them to burn. Someone told us it was almost impossible to split, but this is now two years old, so we could probably do it if we had the technique down.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 ROFL...thank you Elaine! Actually Curves is the name of the exercise place I go...I love them! I am not sure they can be called a gym but they have a circuit of machines and a routine that changes month by month, so you get weight training along with the exercise. And yet I still have weight issues! oh well..... Jane I see you have no need to visit a gym, Jane. Even Jillian from the Biggest Loser couldn't keep up with you and she's a maniac for exercise.

Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 RE: Shout out HI everyone.. I am (TnT for short) I live in West Texas with my hubby, 2 of my 3 boys.. (17, 19 and the oldest is 20 in the Air Force and stationed in Japan) and the new addition to our family is my Mother in law She had a stroke in July and now lives with us full time.. so life has been quite crazy. As always I am on a quest to lose this stubborn weight!! I did really well till I injured my knee and I have put back on most of the weight I had previously lost.. so I am back to square one again.. But I am determined to lose this weight on my very frugal budget I am glad to see the group growing and getting chatty again!! It seems that everyone has the same New Year Resolution Get off our fat butts and exercise and eat healthy to lose this weight! I look forward to meeting new friends and rejoining with old.. Hugs, TnT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hey TnT: I'm new here,==RAY, I live in So.Calif. I made a new years resolution. After gettin on the scale after the Holidays I need to loose the 10lbs or so I have added. I have a bad back an it literaly pains me to carry the extra weight around. I am in my late 60s,an never had a weight problem untill about 5yrs ago. Lately ,after abdominal surgery, two years ago I have packed on the extra lbs. I had emergency surgery to remove a blockage in my bowels. Had 40 staples right up the front of me,looked like the southern railroad tracks...LOL. My surgen told me to start eating about 6 small meals a day.Which I haven't done..! Could be the reason for the recent gain. I don't walk much an don't work out either,like I first did when I retired 9yrs ago. I do work now part-time,[couple of nights a week]. I use a golf-cart at work,an could walk more there. Which I plan on doin now. I took basic trainin at Lackland AFB in the early 60s. So I have been to Texas. Hot ,like here in the summer an cold in the winter. Don't like walkin in the cold. Hope this is goin to movitate me to loose a little. At 6'ht,I should be around 180 or so,,,,I think?? Sooooo I need to loose about 30lbs ,huh? Wish me luck Taresa. I saw the notes from the girls downunder. I killed a small rattler in the chicken pen last summer. Well, I rattle on way too much,sorry......! Take Care RAY in Texas wrote: RE: Shout outHI everyone.. I am (TnT for short)I live in West Texas with my hubby, 2 of my 3 boys.. (17, 19 and the oldest is 20 in the Air Force and stationed in Japan) and the new addition to our family is my Mother in law She had a stroke in July and now lives with us full time.. so life has been quite crazy. As always I am on a quest to lose this stubborn weight!! I did really well till I injured my knee and I have put back on most of the weight I had previously lost.. so I am back to square one again.. But I am determined to lose this weight on my very frugal budget :)I am glad to see the group growing and getting chatty again!! It seems that everyone has the same New Year Resolution :)Get off our fat butts and exercise and eat healthy to lose this weight! I look forward to meeting new friends and rejoining with old..Hugs,TnT Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.

Gosh this is getting scary. your bad memory is letting the truth out. But which one is the truth, mmmmmm? Just kidding, Jane. Thanks for always participating. Elaine Did I answer this? I do not remember!~ lol I am a 50 year old mom, grandma, and great grandma (by marriage)..I am about 50 pounds more then I want to be, but very healthy. I backpack 40 to 120 miles at a stretch a couple times a year, camp with my grand kids, take trips, keep care of my honey, day care some of my grand kids, have my own business, grow a garden and can, love life, and live in No CA. I think that covers it. In my spare time I read, do puzzles, go to Curves, and help people. I also volunteer at school two days a week. Wow! I think I like me! lolol Jane .. Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year. Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
