food was once our hobby but now that is gone and we must find new ways to occupy our time and minds. So what if any hobbies do you currently have? It can be anything from arts and crafts to exercising. Anything you can think of. Share pictures if you like. My hobbies are collecting comics and vintage toys but the main thing I am focused on is my art. I draw, write, sculpt and even sew. Currently I am working on self publishing my own graphic novel.

I have gone target shooting just 3 times in my whole life. First time was a gun safety class, second time was with a "friend" and it wasnt very fun about a year ago. I went just recently and had a good time and was not a bad shot. We were at a quarry and bought cheap soda by the can. It was fun to see them explode - was shooting a revolver that had 38s and a couple of 357 bullets - happened to hit the root beer with the big bullet and it was quite spectacular. It was fun, and the people there cheered me on since i was a beginner but doing pretty well.

I might want to explore that more as a hobby - it is nice to have a good variety of things to do...

I love to paint, draw and do crafts. I like to try a little bit of everything! Here are a few things from this past year:

A mixed media piece using crayola crayons, I think it looks like a dragon!

Some of my polymer clay fairies and houses.

My handpainted Christmas ornaments

Different bracelets I have made

My logo... a fluffy fairy - me- for Unique Designs by Fairee

A mermaid made from polymer clay and real shells

Face painting at the Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome

A pastel drawing of my Dad, who passed this past Feb.

I haven't done too much lately. I also love to read and swim

Shooting sports here, too. Trap, skeet, sporting clays. Target shooting.

Also, training and working my german shepherd.

Oh and I play a lot of video games. PS4. Getting a PC in the next year or so.

As of this Friday I am officially retired. I love to China Paint but because of my busy schedule I have not been able to do so for a long time. Looking forward to get to paint once again. I am still fighting the urge of food for comfort. I sit behind a desk all day and cannot get up unless someone relieves me...now that I can move around and not be stuck behind a desk...I am hoping to conquer my battle with food.

Texaslady52, congratulations on your retirement ! Woo hoo !! Any other interests besides china painting ? Don't be shy about looking into hobbies that you normally wouldn't give a second look to. 10 years ago hubby took me golfing. Once, because it was booorrriiinnngggg !!!! Yawn. Snooze.......... so he just went without me. 6 weeks ago, while on vacation, we decided to try it again. A light bulb went on, im officially addicted, and guess what were doing tonight ?? So glad I tried something "different ! " I hope you find some healthy, fun hobbies too ! Good luck !!

Great topic for discussion as this was on my mind last weekend. I'd love to get some ideas!

I so enjoy cooking and entertaining. Ugh. I was frustrated last weekend as I realized I needed to focus my efforts elsewhere. I paint furniture and home furnishings and thought I'll just continue enjoying that. I am finding new projects to decorate/paint around my home for the days ahead!

(I am new and have no idea how to attach a pic or two for y'all. Sorry.)

Absolutely gorgeous animal.

I've always been a fan of the breed, but have always had smaller dogs. I'm hoping that may change as my new energy level will have me wanting to walk a dog every day.

With all this weight loss, im hoping to save up enough to pick up the necessary equipment for an Appleseed event sometime.

I have always been a craftster and shall continue to do so.

I make 3 dimension beaded items like musical boxes, clocks, lamps, purses, tissue boxes etc

Lately I have taken up coloring and making sequin art.

Once a week I play Michigan Rummy with the Ladies in the development I live in.

Come Monday I will be going back to the Gym with a friend.

I ride my tricycle and hope this summer to be able to go swimming.

I like keeping my brain and hands busy.

Tried to put a photo up of my crafts table but don't think it is showing correctly.

I just pulled out my crocheting and knitting. I decided to attempt to knit scarves for all the nieces and nephews. I'm not too sure they will be thrilled but it is giving me a goal to work toward.

I am not a gun fan. I've been target shooting with a hand-gun once, and used to shoot rifles at summer camp. I was never very good at it and didn't really like it.

What I loved was archery. This post reminded me that my brother-in-law is a bow hunter. I wouldn't mind trying some target shooting with a bow in the near future. The only way I hunt is with a camera.

I already have a hobby which is crocheting and has provided a little side business so I can make some money on something I love doing!

So far just reading. I'm only 2 weeks post op not quite ready for the gym yet.

Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

RC planes, cars, etc. I am addicted to making pretty much anything. If I had the means I would have a forge, a woodworking shop, a computer shop, a garage, a painting booth, a writing studio.

I have the attention span of a gnat on crank.

Gym, hiking, cleaning & reading. Come warmer months swimming will be added to this list.
