    Yay all caught up. I got 3 pages behind read them all. The oatmeal recipe I do it a lot easier than that put oatmeal and use the yogurt with the fruit in the bottom. Eliminates using sugar. I mix it in a plastic container easier to wash. Can you tell I'm lazy.

    Thank you for all your concerns about my friend but she fought a hard fight but didn't make it. Her kidney's shut down. She passed yesterday at around six pm.
    If nothing else I sure hope her passing will open my eyes to my weight problem and I do something about it.

    Weigh in here is on Thursday. Guess I haven't been here since. Congrats to all you losers. Keep at it. I'm joining you all I've seen two more smiles on my wii I weigh every morning.

    See you all lighter.

    Update...officially down another pound! <3
    In our meeting this morning our wonderful leader talked about negative self talk and thoughts and how they can grow and fester preventing us from succeeding. Things like "I have too much to lose, I will never do it" or "I won't keep it off so why try". I am thankful that there is no negative vibes here! We may all have moments of doubt but do not let it take over! Stand tall and strong - the battle is in our heads not our bellies!

    Marie what I meant about adding a link is that if you want to let someone know about something your read on the internet, you can copy and paste the link to your post and people can find it easily.

    Here is something I read today that was interesting.

    http://www.gretchenrubin.com/

    This is just an example.

    here is the link to Senior Golden Sneakers

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1248-the-senior-golden-sneakers

    It makes it easy to share things with each other.

    Love the unintentional consequences of eating better~ my 24 yo son with Down Syndrome weighed this morning and is down 10 pounds total! I don't get to weigh until Monday but I'm crossing my fingers I see some movement!!

    It's absolutely pouring here today so we're snuggled in and just going to watch a movie later. Keep up the great work everyone!!

    Congrat's on the lose of 3lbs that's great progress, The negative talk thing is sooooo true we can all slip into negative talk if we're not careful.

    Linda in Onterio.... So sorry to hear you've lost your friend, sending you hugs, stay strong.

    Eatless.... Enjoy your cycle ride, I love cycling but only in the summer, It's far to cold here at the moment I find my hands and feet get really cold when I cycle in the winter .

    Evening the hardest time to fight off the snacking urge, try to find something else to occupy yourself like going for a walk if possible at this time of year or a nice hot bath and then paint your nails. It's hard I know and something I struggle with all the time. Good luck.

    Marie.... A new great grandchild , how exciting, Cogratulations to you and your granddaughter.

    Going to have breakfast now, porridge with apple and cinammon.

    Have a great day all.
    Linda.
