Faye-What a neat view, Singapore has got to be an interesting place, I really dont know much about it.
Esther-So sorry about the girls sister, I hope she gets better soon. It is so sad these young kids wanting to die, I am sure mom will get her the help she needs. Dont let your emotions get you to do something to sabatoge yourself. It wont help the girl and you'll just feel bad. Do something to get your mind off of this with the kids, how about the beach, maybe snap some beautiful pictures while there, I know you love swimming.
Becky-The water pictures are not in my back yard, they are a place where my daughter goes fishing, and another one is Rough River, we used to own land, there, but we sold it in 2009.I have lots of pretty pictures from there, but there not in my phone or computer. I'll have to remember that Lowes carries those tomato plants that have little green ones on them. I didnt see them at our Lowes.Congratulations on your great loss of 3.5lbs, so pleased you lost on your new plan. Way to go!
Stephanie-It is peaceful, in my back yard and beautiful, and also when the leaves change colors and there is snow on the hills. The front yard is in an everyday subdivision, so I have the best of both worlds.
Ruthie-Congratulations on 2.2 loss, glad the scales are moving in the right direction, when its so hot its great you can get out it and just go see a movie, but that does sound alittle cold in there. My Walmart is really cold, everytime I go in there, it feels good for awhile, until I need to hurry up cause I'm cold.
Shirley-Great picture of you and little Isaac, he's a cutie. The trip you are going on to the yoga retreat, with your daughter sounds nice and healthy.
Have a great day. Janice

Connie-The land at the golf course sounds pretty, normally golf course houses are really in an area with beautiful landscaping. Its exciting to build a house, my husband is a carpenter, he is a very good trim carpenter, too. When house building was good, he was framing by day, trimming at night alot. He did expensive homes with the fancy trim, crown, stairs and fireplace mantles, he also built bookcases in the walls. Trim can really jazz up a home. Now he is doing general contracting where they build schools, firehouses, and other government jobs. They do also redo Krogers. What kibd of ideas do you have for your new house? Gotta go. Janice0

I went outside to let dogs run around alittle bit and picked all the red tomatoes I seen, theres alot of green tomatoes on the plants, I had a couple that split at the top, I wonder what makes them do that. I plan on looking up. Janice

Well I have to admit something here. I was naughty..... My daughters best friend stayed at our house last night so she would have the emotional support...... She is also on MFP trying to lose some weight. She is 14 and weighs 200 pounds so she is trying to drop a few pounds with me. But with her sister ODing I decided some comfort food was in order....... The sister is doing much better. They will be moving her out if ICU later today but they will still keep her for at least another day. In times like these I think it is ok to cheat and have a comfort meal. But I did add hot cocoa to the doughnut. At least it has protein and calcium. Right?

Hi all....... I was able to go visit "my other daughter" in the hospital. She is in good spirits. She has realized just how many people really do care about her. She was also enlightened to what the Benadryl and Excedrin and Tylenol combination could do to you. She said she thought she would fall asleep from the Benadryl and the rest could do the job but that's not how it works. She had it explained that it was a very long very painful way to go. She was happy to see my 5 yr old. And Iris made her a card with a picture of the two of them under an umbrella splashing in puddles. (Yes it is raining today). The counselor has said she could go home today if the doctor says she can. I'm just hoping she learned her lesson.

Nancy-Your porch and yard look very nice, that is going to be a great place to hang out and do whatever. Janice0

Janice..the landscaping is lovely in the area. Lots of woods, hiking trails, and the builder in the area we are looking in has a lot of rules to follow in the community he builds. This new community is within a very large golf course community. We have a lot of rules and regulations as the homeowners as well. We have access to the amenities, but that comes at a price. We don't golf, so as of now, we are not planning on joining the club if we decide to build there. The actual home does have a lot of gorgeous crown molding and wainscoting; and built in bookshelves are an option. I also want ceramic tile showers rather than tubs in all baths except the master (they call it owner's suite now), hardwood everywhere except guest bedrooms and upstairs bonus room, and the screened porch. Those are priorities. Oh..and comfort height toilets
Nancy..your porch is so nice! I know it was hard work! That is the one thing I am planning on having..a screened porch and deck! The plan comes with that or a sunroom and deck.
Esther..will the young lady go to counseling to help with the depression?
Faye..absolutely breathtaking view!
My eating for the last few days has been off because of eating out. We are so tired when we get finished looking, that we've been doing take-out. Nevertheless, the scale remains steady.

Sounds like you are getting pretty serious now about The lot and house. Connie.
Nancy does your porch looks out toward the lake?
Janice wow just looks at those homegrown tomatoes.Now that would call for a BLT.
Esther lad everything is looking better for your daughter friend. Scary what kids will come up with.
There's Shirley . I forgot where I read it but that trip with your daughter sounds excited. How long will it last?
See you guys tomorrow

Janice, I love the big hill in your snowy picture! Your dogs look so happy and healthy. And your daughter works too long and hard to have to be the only one in the relationship doing it.
Becky, you've taken great care of those swings!
Esther, I'm glad things turned out the way they did for your "other daughter". I hope she will get all the therapy she needs, I know what it's like to be in a dark place. Therapy would have helped a lot.
And being naughty with the food once is in no way going to get you off track, you're doing fantastic!
Nancy, you're porch is beautiful! Come build me one, please!!
Connie, your future house sounds like it's going to be gorgeous. I can't wait to see pictures after it's built.
Barbie, I love the lavender!
Thank you everyone for the well wishes on our house! We haven't heard back from the bank yet regarding the appraisal, I hope they hurry it along because I'd like to know it's really ours.
I love all the pictures!0 -

Hi guys. "My other daughter" was released today and has mandatory counseling tomorrow. Her mom is taking off the rest of the week to help her feel better. My hubby and I both went to visit her today before she went home. She told me she had no idea how many people cared or how much they cared about her. She apologized to us for scaring us like this. So now she is at home with her mom and sister and big brother. I will check up on her tomorrow.
Esther0 -
Connie Sounds like your on it with the amenities, what about fluted jambs, tray ceilings, patio doors with blinds built in, shell cathedral ceilings, gas fireplace, deep sinks in kitchen, just trying to help. The lot and house sounds great, maybe you all can try golfing, its good exercise. I like putt putt golf, put havent done it in awhile.
Marie-I am ready for bacon and tomato, maybe lunch tommorow. I was looking up tomato salads, there were several some with corn, loving the vegetables right now. I made a big salad yesterday with green and red peppers, grapes, jalapenos, pico de gio, green onion, bacon bits, grated baby carrots, and very little shredded cheese, it was so good. I had some today with grilled chicken breast, it was really good. I have been eating kraft thousand island lite for a change, normally its lite ranch, its been really good for a change.
Rachel-Your kitties are so cute and I love the long haired ones, your house looks very nice, too. I love when the weather changes, the hil like s are always so beautiful behind us. I agree my daughter does work to hard and deserves better. I think she finally realizes it. I just talked to her and she is back on mfp and had a great night with Mason reading. Your tomatoes look ripe , we couldnt find any cherry or grape tomatoes when we planted ours, I love the little ones.
Barbie-Your lavender is beautiful, I have never seen a plant like that.
Gotta go its getting late. Janice

Esther I am glad your other daughter is doing better and knows everyone does care, hopefully she gets the counseling she needs to get over wanting to die. I know with so many people showing they care will help her. Janice0

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Wednesday!
Ray..your house is lovely and that's the kind of "space" we really wanted. Although the yard is more than my husband needs to manage, his riding mower would be put to good use! Also, there is more than enough driveway to accommodate 2 cars and a truck! Barbie..the lavender is beautiful! Janice..gas fireplace, trey ceiling in master, high ceilings in foyer, and family room, deep sink=yes. No patio doors cause the screen porch leads out to deck. Help is always appreciated! Maire..we are serious, but if the plan that I want cannot be done, then that community is not for us. We are not in any rush. It's gym day for me...personal training and power walk.
I'll check back later.
Make it a great day!

I agree with all the posts since I checked in yesterday! So many and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the pictures!
Esther, so glad to hear your report on your "other daughter." Sometimes it takes us hitting rock bottom to really ask for the help we need. I, too, have been there and I came out the other side all the stronger for having gone through it.
Ray, your kittens are adorable!!! I think you said you were fostering in the beginning, have you decided to keep them. Love the names. And I really like your house and property! The tomatoes and potatoes are doing very well on your patio!
Connie, isn't it such a blessing to be able to actually build your dream home?! With all the renovations we have done to our house and yard over the past 25 years, we pretty much have built our dream home in the process! I'll post pictures after the guy comes out to professionally power wash it. I adore my kitchen since we completed the renovation last fall!!
Barbie, beautiful lavender! I had that in my herb gardens in the past, but never knew what to do with it. I moved it to the bomb shelter hill and it froze in the hard winter we had that year.
Well, I went to bed very early last night because I needed to get up at 4:30 today. Plus, I was really sleepy by 7:15! I'm a person who really needs my 8 hours to feel truly rested. My husband was mowing and it lulled me to sleep.
I have personal training today and I'm super excited to see what they have in store for me. I'm still really enjoying my new meal plan. It's all delicious and I don't feel hungry or like I'm dieting in any way! Win-Win!
Have a great day, misfits.
Becky (in muggy and hot Maryland!)

Becky, there are lavender farmers here who make lotions, shampoo, spices, sachets, and many other things out of lavender. We just enjoy how beautiful it looks in our yard and cut it sometimes to put in vases for a nice smell in the house.

I read and seen all the pictures. And will be back to talk about them after I go see some of the other forum I am on.

I lost my post twice now, I keep hitting the wrong key on my tablet.
Marie - Have you gotten the kitty yet? Looking to see some pictures.
Connie - Your land sounds amazing to build on and so exciting for you and your hubby.
Barbie - Love the lavender, I also have bush and have been picking them to bring
into the house. Love the smell!
Esther - I am glad your friend's daughter is getting help. Taking one's life is very serious.
Becky - I am same as you, I need my 8 hours or I am not worth anything.
Rachel - Your house is lovely, perfect for you and your husband. It looks so nice and neat too.
Janice - No tomatoes for us yet, but our plants are nice and big due to lots of rain.
Nancy - Hi there.
Today was Yoga this morning, and now going to the bank to finalize our pension plan since
my hubby is retired now. I am thinking of leaving Thursday night to stay with my daughter
before going to the retreat. I just emailed her and waiting for a reply.
Well have to get dressed for the bank. Have a great day!

I love lavender, so beautiful Barbie! France is full of lavender, all the pictures I've seen of Lavender seem to be fields from there. Is it very fragrant in the yard?
Connie, all those house decisions, I hope you're really pleased with your final choices.
Esther, gratefully the teenager is able to get a second chance, it's such a struggle sometimes. You're a good friend.
Ray, that hopeful house and the adorable kitties, makes me smile for you. It's such a joy to see.
Janice, You're doing so well with the food choices, that salad sounds delicious. BLT... yes please!!
Stephanie, Still no glasses? Grats! I've had them since 8 and can't wear contacts. They tried to make me trifocals last time. I declined. I don't think so. I'm hoping to get some old fashioned frames when I get my face smaller, sometime around 150 ( that's another 50 pounds away though) my face is too round still for the frames I want.
Becky, it seems like that program is really working out for you. I am really glad. It's always surprising how much we limit our food when sometimes we really need to eat more to lose more. I struggle with it myself. Having a trainer is going on my must do list, once I get a bit lower on my own.
Marie, Today Walmart is price matching Amazon, since Amazon is having a "PrimeDay" sale, you might get some really rock bottom prices. Such competition in retailers today, although I've been disappointed with the Amazon items for sale, nothing I want is on their list.
Oh, misfits, I'm really really trying. I saw 200.8 this morning. Very soon I will break the taboo 200. It's been 25 years since I was under 200. Hopefully doing that will unshackle my mental blocks. My mind has been adamant that I can't break 200, so once I do I will need to push, push, push and get myself to 180. I won't be done then, but I will finally believe it is possible to get to goal.
