Put me down for a maintain for the last three weeks of NYNY. I was down a bit on a different
meeting's scales, but bounced right back up on my

regular

ones. I figure there was something dodgy about the scales, and I'm taking it as a maintain.

THTP sits at 3 for last week. I'm going to have to get moving again, but it's so d**n hot down
here! 30-somthing celcius on Christmas day (we sat inside in the dark with all the fans we have
blowing), and it's not

looking

Quoted message said:

much nicer for the rest of the week. I'm going to have to get up in early mornings to get at least
some walking in.

Very impressive! I'm guilty as well of forgetting to avoid salty stuff before WI. But 2 lbs is still
excellent!

Prairie Roots On Mon said:

And I'll get it started.

NYNY - lost 2 pounds to 217 - must update my sigfile! It was 3 pounds earlier in the week, that's
what I get for eating salty stuff the night before weigh-in. THTP - 4 times, didn't make my goal of
5. Too much stuff to do (no excuse), too wiped out. I feel like I got a lot of exercise in with the
stuff I was doing (running around, errands, cleaning) but I have no idea how much time/effort was
actually expended for those.

Wow, this is great news. If you don't reach your goal by Jan. 1, you'll get there soon after. Just
keep going!

Prairie Roots On Tue said:

NYNY--down 1.25 pounds this week!!! Only 2 pounds to January 1st goal--I hope I can do it!!!

You're following the rules for Maintaining by maintaining. Therefore, licking the utensils is
probably an allowable activity. I suspect somewhere in the unread messages I'll probably never
read is a post about the miles of snow you've recently skiied. Which will take care of any
uncounted points.

Prairie Roots On Wed said:

Okay, put me down for a Maintain. It is too hard to decide where my home scale fits in the
progression and it rounds differently and I'm close enough for government work. (g)

But I probably should not have licked the utensils after whipping up the Sweet Potato Cheesecake.
And I probably should not lick the utensils later when I make the Chocolate Truffle topping for
it either.

And, no, as usual, I am not following the defined recipe.

NYNY week 12:

My current weight: 169.8 lbs Weight change since my last recorded weight: +1.6 lbs Total weight
change to date: -62.2 lbs

Contrary to what my WI indicates, I did OK this week. I allowed for some sweet indulgences, ate
ham, drank alcohol, got in lots of activity points, took lots of photos (167!!) with my new
digital camera and totally enjoyed the week with my daughters and my granddaughter. Anyone care to
share any tips on digital photo editing and photo sharing? This is all quite new to me.

By Thursday morning, the scale had dropped to 167.2. On Saturday it jumped up for WI, and now
today the scale has settled back down to
168. When I recall that last Christmas I weighed more than 230 lbs, I'm really quite pleased with
my current weight. And I'm ready to keep going.

More than likely the digital camera came with an assortment of
software. But a terrific free tool is IRFANVIEW:

irfanview.comirfanview.comOpen ↗

Download it and you can quickly view the photos you save/copy to the harddrive.

Now storage of such images will take up space and you probably do not want to potentially lose them
so you will periodically want to copy/move them to offline storage such as burning a CD if you have
burner???? Or if you want to give the images to someone, a cd is a way to do it.

If you want to share them, depending on resolution (size and quality) they are saved in, sending
them can be time consuming or computer viewing (we talk printing next (g)) and Irfan view, if you
download the PLUGINS can reduce the image size and make them manageable for attachments to email or
if you have a webpage to show them. My webpages use reduced images.

I don't generally print but for good quality printing you want higher resolution images. Most
cameras have a choice of resolutions. Those are those "megapixels" you read about in ads.

Also what type of media does your camera use? Compact Flash (CF) or SD or???? You might want to
extra "film" and Costco sometimes has a good deal on those formats.

How's that for a start.

And now for a digital image of the famous Prairie Roots!!!! (G)

And, the numbers you cite from last xmas to this are terrific. Great job.

GGGGGGGG. You're on a roll now - I can ski, er, see that.

Somehow the activity is not burning the points I'm laying down for a long winter's nap!!!! (G)

But, yes, modesty aside - left in a drift of snow.... 11 miles skiing on Xmas day, 22 miles of
biking the next day, then another 11 miles of skiing yesterday and today another 20 miles of biking.
Hey, I had to take advantage of my days off from work. Unfortunately, my appetite seems to have more
than balanced those activity stints.

Hope your Christmas went well and "bah humbug" about your interesting in Lord of the Ring. I've yet
to see it but it is at the top of the list.

Thanks for the info. Yes I did get photo viewer software with my camera but it's mostly good for
transferring the pictures to my harddrive, rotating the orientation of pictures, and burning CDs to
be played back on DVD players (via TV). I already use IRFANVIEW, a great tool.

My camera uses an xD picture card. I purchased a 128mb storage card at the same time I bought the
camera so memory is NOT an issue, even for high resolution pix. And I've got 15 gigs of empty
storage on my computer hard drive. For the time being anyway, I'm in no danger of running out of
storage space. I burned CDs of our Christmas photos to send home with my daughters and even with
high resolution files, the pix used up only 150mb of space. I'm still looking into software for
editing and organizing my photos...

I didn't get any shots of me (I was the photographer!) so I won't be posting any pictures of me just
yet. But the next time I go for a haircut, I'll ask my stylist (and friend from my childhood
neighborhood) to snap a photo. I've been wanting one to put next to one of my BEFORE pictures. My
next problem will be figuring out how to get it on the web.

Thanks for all the tips, Fred. You were generous to give so much of your time.

I had a gratas copy of Thumbsplus 4 and it seemed like a reasonable tool but I did not use it
very often - it contains an organizer and editing tools - I don't know about its more recent
versions. I do use Jasc's PaintShopPro but it is getting very complex. Jasc does also have some
organizing tools.

I forget Adobe's simpler tool but I know it comes with quite a few cameras.

Have fun - digital is the new polaroid - instant images.

Sorry for your gain, PR... but when you look at last Christmas that gain sure doesn't matter much
does it? Great loss you've got there, girl! Congrats!

LOL! You gotta love that pesky ol' scale jumping around, don't you? You do have a great attitude
though and I know this gain will only be temporary. I also over indulged through the holidays.
Looking back through the years I did realize that what I now consider over indulging is NOTHING in
comparison! Hey, we just enjoyed life a bit fuller than normal - nothing wrong with that on
occassion. Right?
