Marie, I remember those days too. I could drop 20 pounds in no time and could gain them right back in no time. I think that is what did a number on my metabolism!!!

Marie..We are about 2.5 hours from Myrtle Beach. High today..104
Lol - I'm with you there!!!0 -
Nancy and Marie I agree!
I am sure too that's what has messed up my metabolism!
I am at a wine tasting event this evening not sure how I will be logging this if I have spit the wine out? Or if I should be drinking it and then logging the sips ;-)
I'm sure I will figure it out..,,

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Wednesday!
Marie...hope you are keeping dry and are safe.
Faye/Nancy..I so agree. I am in the process of repairing my metabolism. I'm trying to increase up to my maintenance calories to give my body a chance to heal then will cut them to lose fat. It is difficult to eat over 2000 cals a day and do it with healthy food . When I wasn't trying to lose, I had no problem eating that much and more cause I was eating junk..a box of crackers and diet coke along with other stuff was the norm. I have picked up a pound in three weeks, but think it's water because I keep losing it and going back to the same numbers that I started with. Gonna stay with it, though.
Worked with the trainer today but no pool. Trying to change it up some and my body is tired.
Make it a great day, losers! Stay cool!

Good Morning,
Another hot and humid day!!! Do not enjoy getting out in this kind of weather.
Marie, I guess you will be having more flooding with this tropical storm coming at you.
Gotta get moving.
Have a great day.
Nancy0 -
Yes it's looking like that is happening to us once again lots of traffic problems of accordingly to the news report. I worry about my girls driving in it.to accidents galore this morning
Yes Nancy I need to get moving to since we are in a Bad weather day . It is a good time to get Jerry to help me rearranged my sewing and computer room. He got the grass cut yesterday before we went grocery shopping and the rain hit. been raining off and on ever since. Just hope we do not lose our electricity. marie

Thank you all for the kind words on my kittens. They are getting cuter by the hour. I was able to get to Feeder's Supply before closing after class last night and pick up a bottle. I wasn't comfortable syringe feeding them because too large of amounts of milk were coming out, and the first night we had the kittens I thought we'd killed one because he got too much milk and went limp for a second. Scared me to death! I think some milk definitely went down the wrong way.
We feel much better with the bottle, we just need to increase their feedings now because I don't think they weigh as much as they need to at this point. I really hope they grow up to be healthy, strong cats.
Yesterday was my first class of the 2nd quarter, and I was given 10 homework assignments for just the one class to complete by next week. And that is before tomorrow and Friday's classes and homework assignments. So far I'm not too impressed with this particular instructor, he knows what he's talking about but is lacking on the teaching part a bit. I came home and had my husband teach me what assignment #1 was about, and he'll need to teach me the material for 7 of the others. I just can't believe he gave us 10 assignments, that's setting a lot of people up for failure. Most people have jobs and I don't see how they're going to complete all that, along with the rest of the week's assignments.
We saw 3 more houses today, and are hopefully moving forward on one of them. We'll know tomorrow if we can proceed.
The constant up and down at night for feedings is definitely affecting my endurance in the gym, I had to cut my run short today because I didn't have the energy to go longer. It's ok though, just a few more weeks and the babies will be on fewer feedings and starting on solids.
I'm really hoping the home buying process goes through, if it does I'm keeping the kittens.
I see a few losses on here in the last couple of days, that's awesome! I can't believe we're so close to the 4th, it's crunch time!

@CALIECAT-I hope the weather hasnt effected you, to much, with all the rain thats suppose to hit. We are going to get the aftermath of the storm this weekend. Stay safe. I am up today, its a never ending cycle for me lately. Janice0

Good morning, losers! Happy Thursday!
Hot, hot, and more hot with 100+ temps again today. I'm so glad my gym time is in the morning because I don't think I would make it otherwise.
Ray..you are a wonderful foster mother! Take care of yourself, kiddo, you have a lot going on in your life right now.
Hi Stephanie..good to see you.
It's so sad when you cannot feel or be safe in a house of God. How many people will not go to their church service or Bible study this week out of fear?
Make it a great day, losers! Stay cool!

good morning Misfits
First off I want to share a recipe that was in my e mail this morning
Crispy "Popcorn" Edamame
A poppable snack that makes for a healthier alternative to chips or crackers, but with all the satisfying crunch.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Yield: makes about 2 cups
Ingredients
◾one 12oz. bag of frozen shelled edamame
◾1 tsp. olive oil
◾the juice from half a lemon (about 2 tsp.)
◾sprinkle of salt (to taste)
Cooking Directions
◾Allow frozen edamame to thaw on the counter or under lukewarm running water.
◾In a large bowl, toss edamame with oil and lemon juice.
◾Bake at 375F degrees on a foil-lined baking sheet for 40 to 45 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy.
◾Sprinkle over salt to taste while edamame are still hot. Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
I love that edamame (young soy beans) are found in almost all major grocery stores these days. They are a really tasty snack food that even children love, despite resembling other less yummy green vegetables. This is one Japanese ingredient that has definitely made its way into the mainstream. Maybe someday kids will be snacking on pickled plums instead of candy too. Seriously doubt that one though. I think I have a bag in my freezer so may try it today.
see you guys later this Thursday rainy day. Marie

Good morning everyone!
I'm currently on travel in Madison WI. I didn't think I would like it here but it's a college town by a lake and I absolutely love it!
This class is feeding us well, I really hope I'm not gaining weight. I am getting out for walks and running so I hope I'm burning enough of it off!0 -
you will do just fine my friend
marie0 -
Thanks...I sure hope so!0

Good Morning,
My heart aches for the families of the SC AME Emmanuel Church shooting. Praying for the families who lost loved ones due
to this depraved person actions. So sad that this Precious Pastor, Senator and great leader lost his life along with other members
just having Bible Study in their church. May God have mercy.

My sentiments exactly, Nancy. When will the madness end?

Connie and Nancy- It is very sad, I think people can be so crazy, for the past couple of weeks in downtown Louisville, everyday there is atleast 2 murders, its been on the news about murders being on the rise, here. I hope they can get some control over the problems soon. It just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Janice0

The more I hear about things like that the happier I am to live on an island. Granted there are 14000 people in the area but we know who the weirdos are, where they live and where they work. That can't get away with crap around here because everybody knows everybody. In fact I met a lady on my ferry ride who was moving up here with her hubby. I saw her out at Walmart today. She was talking to a guy I graduated from high school with. I chatted with her for 5 minutes and 6 people I know walked by U.S. She was surprised to see how small town really is.0

When I was really young I used to watch the local news every afternoon, and even as a kid I noticed the extreme trend of murders in downtown Louisville. So much so, that one day I decided to start writing down how many were reported new each day. What I noticed was after a while they stopped reporting on them, not because they had stopped or declined, but because there were so many they just seemed to take a break from reporting it all. It seems like there's no improvement, even after all these years.
On the subject of depraved people.. We saw a house yesterday that we were going to put an offer on today. Last night I thought to check the criminal activity records for the zipcode, and I'm glad I did. Within the 1 mile radius of the house, there were 17 registered sex offenders, and within the three adjacent streets were atleast 5 convicted rapists. As much as we loved the house, needless to say we decided not to go forward with it. I can't imagine sitting on my front porch while my husband is gone, with multiple rapists within a short walk from me. I wouldn't even feel safe locked inside. It was a heartbreak, but wow.
I'm going to focus on the fact that there is a wonderful group of people here, and you all remind me every day that there are still good people in the world.

Rachel- what was the zip code you looked up, just for curiosity.0

You are right Rach. There are some really awesome people out there in this world. It's just the stupid idiots that ruin it for the rest of us. I really like this misfit gang. You guys are really great people. And if any of you come up to Alaska just let me know and I can come meet the cruise ship at the dock and show you around town

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Friday!
It's going to be another hot day here so Coop has had his walk, and I am headed to the gym for personal training and the pool.
I'll check back with you guys later.
Stay strong.

Good Friday, everyone! I am reading along just not much to report. Losing and gaining the same 2lbs over and over again. I love summer but I also need structure to be successful.
Not giving up! Love you misfit gals!
Ruthie0 -
hi all,
finished packing all the duffels, much relieved!!
ha ha ruthie, totally agree, gaining and losing the same lbs for a bit. feel like I will make progress as soon as I get my kids off to camp!!
hope everyone is well!

It was 40065, the radius around Main Street in Shelbyville. It's where all those gorgeous historic Victorian homes are rotting to pieces and being rented out as "apartments".
Esther, maybe one day I can take you up on that tour offer! Some friends of ours took an Alaskan cruise for their honeymoon and they loved it.
I hope everyone is having a great day! I was nervous to get on the scale this morning, but WOW, I lost 3.2 lbs. since last Friday's weigh in. This "eat what you want" thing I've been doing the last couple weekends seems to be working quite alright! I think I'll continue it unless I see a negative response along the line. But hopefully that won't happen, it sure makes things simpler to not track as strictly on the weekend. Though I can't say my stomach always feels great from it. :P I'll try to practice decent moderation with it.
So that puts me 3.6 lbs. from my goal! I can't believe it! I might have to readjust my goal and add a few more lbs. to it because I think there may be a little bit more than 3.6 lbs. of jiggle still on me. I'll definitely be adding in some more daily calories soon though.
I have "College Mathematics"(yuck!) tonight, wish me luck! I haven't been good at math in several, several years. Hopefully I'll like my teacher though, I think that makes all the difference. I liked my instructor last night a lot better than my Tuesday instructor. Two out of 3 would be nice!

@rayw89 Your body is loving the increase of calories, knows more is coming to fuel your workouts, and has decided to release the fat. Your metabolism is running at full speed! Yay!!

Hello I been without my wireless since yesterday and also my home phone . Boy was I lost. Alice took off work to come and fixed it for us. I still have a few bugs to work out but they could wait.
Sorry to hear about the shooting in SC . Crazy world we live in. So Sad.
Esther I had a chance to move to Alaska in 1950. My ex husband wanted me to come up there He rented us a place and I back out. You were not even born yet? So you could not have showed me around
So glad to be able to talk to your all. I missed every one of you Marie
