scrappin...yes, I am in Texas...Copperas Cove (small town lol) to be exact. Yesterday it was super scary. First my phone started to go off with Tornado Watches. Usually that just means that the conditions are in favor for tornadoes....wasn't too concerning. Then our power went off and I got a Tornado Warning Message on my phone stating: "Seek Shelter now. Tornado Warning in this area". We had two tornado touchdowns in my local area and just 2 miles up the road from me a 100 year old barn was taken by the tornado. Thankfully, no injuries. North of me there was major flooding going on with snapped trees and branches all over the streets. Our power came back I after like 3 hours. I have family in Houston who had some heavy rainfall (something about 11 inches) but they are also all ok. I am praying for the 12 missing people and that they are safe and sound. This has been definitely the worst I have seen here in a long time.
I hope you have fun at your golf game

Hi Sue
That must have been scary. That is one type of Disaster I have managed to miss here in NJ. We did a little tiny earthquake several years ago. I was at work talking to my Brother drinking coffee when it hit. There was a slight shaking of the building and rings formed in the coffee. We were not even sure if it was a EQ. Turns out it was.
Parts of Texas are getting pounded, I feel bad for people there too.
FWIW I use FireFox as my browser for the Spell checker and for the NoScript Add-On (Extension). I never see Adverts and I can see at a glance when I have misspelled something.
Have a Good Day
RogerHi y'all
Glad everyone is safe after the storms. Congrats to all on the NSV's and losses.
Went back to the Dr today. The abscess isn't worse and isn't better so I am seeing a surgeon, can't get in until next week though
. So the thought is that it may have to have surgery to clean and debride the entire thing out since healing has stopped. I've had to have this done before with an abscess and it isn't fun. I'm hoping some kind of miracle will happen and it won't need to be done. In the meantime it still requires repacking daily and I'm going to try to go to work on Thursday night, that will give me 2 nights to work then a weekend off.
I am looking forward to spending this coming weekend with my boyfriend, haven't been able to see him for a while because of conflicting work schedules and I didn't want him exposed to this infection. We're planning to go see San Andreas at the I-Max theater, I'm so excited, I love a good disaster movie!
Have a great evening everyone
Lesa
Hi Lesa
I am sorry to hear that the Abscess is not responding to treatment. I hope the Movie is good. If Not at least You got out.
Cheers
RogerHi!! To everyone!!
Scrappin-- I am so impressed you play golf! I tried several times to take it up. My balls go straight, but only about 20 feet or so, lol! I finally gave that up!
Lesa-Keep us informed! Hoping you get that infection settled!! You are in my prayers for that!!
I'm eating green beans, having finished lunch, but I did not quite time them for lunch! I have itches everywhere still. Mistaken the poison sumac for elderberry, I do that every spring. Also pulling weeds and when I was done, realized they had 3 leaves, duh, they were not little trees coming up. Ivy, poison! Apparently I am allergic to several outdoor weeds too. That is what I get for clearing brush and spots of ill tending in my yard! I will be glad when I get the acres together for just maintenance. Almost there!
Keep trucking all !!! We are doing good!!!
Hi Buttons
I am sorry that You have run into Poison Sumac and Poison Ivy. I have a bunch of little scratches from pulling regular Ivy off of the shed in the back Yard. That is what I get for wearing shorts.
Have a Good Day

I live out in the country and people ride bikes on my road (professional ones) and just now I passed (when I safely could) about 20 or so and they were in little groups of like 5 or 6. So needless to say it took me a little longer to get home. I wish I could do that but I broke my tailbone several years back and can't do bikes now. Heck, I have a cushion for my work chair that has a hole in it now. The last time I tried to ride one (about 2 or 3 years ago) I rebroke it and it took so long to get over it. *sigh* So much for that. Walking is about all I can do now.
Have a good night y'all!

Lesa, so sorry it has stopped healing! I do hope you're able to begin healing again and avoid the surgery.0

Hi friends,
Congratulations to those losing and moving. Prayers for our friends in Texas, Oklahoma and all the weather worn states. Please keep the rescue workers in your hearts: EMS, nurses, doctors and all the emergency providers.
Update on my father......he did better with surgery than anyone expected. He was eating supper, ice cream and flirting with all the ladies. He is a tough country boy. The main comment from staff was "at least he is cheerful with his dementia." We have a long way to go but feel blessed that he got through the amputation without major complications.
I'm now physically able to do a little walking. Comes at a good time with visiting in the hospital. Y'all have a good night!

Hi Terri. I feel for you w broken tailbone! I did that when I was ~14 years old and it took years to mend. I admire the skills of the professional cylists, but they can cause big issues for drivers. ~ val0 -
Nene... so glad your father is doing well. Good job on the walking. I can't wait until I can go more than a few steps without getting out of breath.
Hope4.... I know. They can be a pain on a country, windy road. Tailbone breaks are the worst to get over.
Good morning, y'all. Up and at em early today. Got a lot of stuff to do. Have a great day.0 -

Hi Nene
Good news about Your father and even better being able to walk. I had a tough time in the past walking through the local hospital to visit family that was there. I used to have to find a seat in the lobby after the parking garage trek, Then halfway between the lobby and the room and then again on the way back to the car.
Now I walked 14 blocks last night after the rain ended. That may not sound like much to some of You but it is for me. I was not huffing and puffing.

Good morning y'all!
Terri your post just spoke to my heart this morning. Being able to walk is one of my big motavaters. So far I have lost 54 pounds and it is just this week that I have been able to walk. My doc does not think it is safe for me to walk until I am under 300. My body agrees with him. I'm close but not there. Thank goodness NS gives us a program that makes it possible to lose and gradually add in movement.
Stay strong my friend, we'll get there one day at a time. Hugs

Hi Roger, Don't minimize that...that's a great accomplishment! Being able to get somewhere is a necessity...and when we can't (whether weight or pain or whatever) that really feels awful and affects everything else in our lives.
There have been times in my life when I've been so ill, that the only thing I could do was lay on the bathroom floor (about a week!) because it took all the energy I could muster to climb on the toilet twice a day...and my kid would bring me juice and ask me if I was going to be okay. I probably should have been hospitalized, but, well, as a sole parent in a new state, that's the best I could come up with at the time. (I had given her numbers to call if I got worse...fortunately, that wasn't necessary.)
It really is such a blessing when we can do what we need to do and want to do. That is a big deal. Keep up the good work Roger...you're doing a great job.

Grumpy cat returns to her scratching post!
Tonight I went to Facebook Nutrisystem site. According to the site on Facebook 7 months ago Nutrisystem set up 5 forums: new to Nutrisystem pop on and introduce yourself: culinary corner: on your way: got to goal: and challenge central.
In the past 7 months there have been 112 posts entered in those 5 forums.
Of the 112 posts 39 of the posts were made by Nutrisystem.
That means that over the past 7 months there have only been 73 people respond to a Nutrisystem on Facebook forums.
Enough said. Grumpy cat is off her soapbox alias scratching post.

Hi Nene
That sounds as if FB is not working! Or that failure may have been why they decided to close the forums, push people there whether or not they wanted to be there.
Thanks for taking the Bullet and visiting FB for us

Good morning, everyone.
Well the 50 clicks are no more as of this morning. Glad I got mine in before it closed too.
Hopefully that doesn't mean that my day started off bad and that today turns out to be a good day regardless.

I was wondering about the FB forums and it really seems like that the NS community has chosen. Me personally I could not imagine to post on Facebook in regards to my weight loss. Weight loss is hard enough as it is.
I got another bear coming in my next shipment!! The 30 lbs. bear joins the family and I am less than 5 lbs. away from my little midway goal. I set myself little goals which are in sight and achievable. I know how I am with big goals...out of sight out of mind sadly. So, one of my mid goals was to get under the 200 lbs. mark and I am now less than 5 lbs. away from hat mark. I also saw that I lost so far over 5 of my BMI which is huge for me. I know I still have ways to go but this community has helped me so much. Just wanted to say thank you for that!!!I have a question for everyone... (I can't remember) Does coffee count towards your water intake? I know we can have it, but I can't remember if I can count it or not. TIA
I was curious and looked on WebMD...here is what I foundhttp://www.webmd.com/parenting/features/healthy-beverages. I guess I have to change my pattern there too as I never counted coffee as fluid intake. 0 -

Hi Terri
From here
http://boards.members.nutrisystem.com/showthread.php?185892-Substitutions-for-water&highlight=water+substitute
Hi Teddy,
NS recommends that any substitutions for water be caffeine-free and you should be able to find decaf green tea.
Nutrition & Dietary Services
And from here:
http://boards.members.nutrisystem.com/showthread.php?203881-tea-vs-water&highlight=water+substitute
These are various questions answered in the e-classes by Mary Gregg, the NutriSystem head dietitian, regarding beverage consumption. I collected these by reviewing many e-class archives:
Question: Can we drink Crystal Light and count as water?
MARY: Yes, but I would try to get some pure water in addition.
Question: I drink the 8 glasses, but some times add in a flavored water like dasani lemon, can I count that?
Mary: Yes, you can count the Dasani as part of your water.
Question: Why is it that diet soda is not as good as water for your body? They both have no calories, fat, etc.?
Mary: Diet sodas contain phosphoric acid which can remove calcium from your bones.
Question: How does tea and coffee work into the 8 glasses of water we're supposed to drink?
Mary: If they are decaf, they can be used as part of the water...but try to get most of your fluid requirement as pure water.
Question: Does tea and diet sodas count as water???
Mary: Diet soda is not the healthiest choice...I suggest that you limit diet soda to about 1 a day (that is my personal recommendation, not the program's guideline). Caffeine-free tea could be counted for part of your water.
Question: Is diet snapple ok?
Mary: Diet Snapple (if it is sodium free and caffeine free) could be counted as part of your water.
Question: What about green tea?
Mary: Green tea is very healthful and has been linked to better fat loss and there are health benefits to both green and black tea.
Question: Can you drink tea with caffeine?
Mary: Yes, we do not restrict beverages with caffeine...but we do not count them as part of the water recommendation.
Question: Can a can of diet coke or glass of crystal lite be substituted for a glass of water?
Mary: We recommend that water substitutes be sodium-free and caffeine-free. Diet-Rite is one soda that is caffeine free and sodium free.
Many of the members do use Crystal Light. You may want to dilute it.
But then on 03-20-2015, 01:35 PM
From here
Hi PeacePipah,
Our FAQ section has lots of information new members find helpful. Here's information from FAQ to answer your question:
Q: How many glasses of water do I need daily?
A: Water needs may vary by individual. We recommend six to eight 8 oz. glasses or 48-64 oz. of water daily. Other lower calorie beverages can help to meet your fluid needs; even caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, or diet soda can contribute. However, we recommend that the major portion of your daily fluid intake be water.
You may need to modify your total fluid intake depending on how active you are, the climate you live in, and your health status.
Nutrition & Dietary Services
So that is what I know and found
FWIW, I count Coffee
Good Luck

Wow - contradictory posts certainly confuse things - don't they? Mary Gregg was/is? the head dietician at NS - so I'd listen to her. When I was on the Ornish Heart Reversal Diet - we weren't allowed caffeine. Water is always the best choice, but it gets boring.
Buttons - I started golfing when I was 18 in 1968. I was a rotten golfer, so bad that I got the most improved golfer trophy at the end of the season. We golfed 9 holes with a par of 36. The first time out I had 32 on the first hole! Guess they didn't have 10 and out leagues then. The league I'm in now is 10 and out. If you get to 10 strokes - you're done for that hole. Makes play faster! I usually stick to 9 hole courses although have golfed some 18 hole courses - actually did pretty well on a dog leg hole in bowling green. A lot of times things don't go your way when golfing - then you get that one sweet shot and it makes it all worth it! It's a process. When I resumed golfing in 2007, still was using my clubs from the 60s. Technology has greatly changed clubs - they're much lighter wt now and easier to use. Finally got a new set a few years ago - got enough gift cards to cover an entire cheap set. Really nice! Also bought a Hippo oversized club prior - a friend got me a bargain - was happy to have that too. Still choose that over the big club in the new set.
MFP finally signed me off these boards - thankfully I wrote log on info down. Any tips on how to find the last post you read? Miss that NS perk.
Gardened some this morning - really humid and in the mid 80s - only to be in the 60s tomorrow so hope to finish up planting tomorrow. A little bummed - like to have some red flowers in the mix and this year ended up with 97% pink. Oh well - they're still pretty. Worked a bit on my counted cross stitch - eyes causing me some problems - made a 2 toned candle glow one toned as I couldn't differentiate between yellow orange and yellow. Goofed on the white on white too - so just went over it. Plus my pattern is off a bit so compensating - I'd prolly chew a hole in the canvas trying to rip it out to redo. Had BLTs for lunch with lettuce from our garden - it was yummy - and so nice to know no pesticides are on it. It just took off this week - so will be enjoying salads for a while. Veggie seeds have sprouted too.
Happy weekend all!0 -

Sugen1. Congrats on the weight loss accomplishment.
Scrappen999 you certainly kept busy yesterday..I bet your scale will reflect the gardening too.
I am hoping to try and put my plants in today, if I can. Yesterday rained all day, so we went to Sams to stock up and had a nice walk around too. My back pain started, (spondololathesis ) so I had a hard time walking by the time we got to the cashier. A few hours later, I did manage to do so small odd jobs around the house to try and move. Today I checked and I have dropped another pound, so 18 lbs down. . MFP or Numi says I have lost 5.9% and they say 10% off your weight is small enough to have improved health, so that is the next milestone goal.
Have a great Sunday everyone.

Hi All
I am officially unhappy now.
I went to the Basement for something and my Feet went splish in water.
I just finished sucking up most of the water for now with a wet dry shop vac. Then I went out and threw a tarp over the side basement window for now. I hope that does the job!
Thunder Storms last evening and this morning, Along with a torrential rain that was too much for the gutters too.
More rain in the forecast for later on today and in to tomorrow, hence the Tarping. It seems that the the window well cover is damaged.
I will be monitoring it since the water will keep seeping in for a little while too. I caught it before it hit the Freezer, Furnace or water heater Fortunately.
Have a Good Day
Roger0 -
Roger - so sorry to hear about your flooding. Can you consider bailing water an activity to record?
OK NS buddies - I need to confess. I apparently was on a hiatus from the program for the last several weeks because I did not log weight, journal food etc. or log into this discussion group. And the scale shows it - up about 5 lbs. I'm back in the saddle again and appreciate you all being here to hear my confession and to help me stay focused. I need this program like many of you and I know it works. But the biggest component to my success is my mindset. I wish you all a happy and healthy, on program week!

Oh my Roger. I am sorry to hear all of that and it seems like you had as much rain as we did during the past weeks. I am glad that you were able to take care of the issue before it hit your water heater and such.
We finally got a break from all the rain and it doesn't look like that we get anything till next week.
Have a great week everybody!0 -
Roger......I agree with Sue. Bailing water has to be an activity worth lots of calories burned. So sorry this happened to you. Good luck with the repairs.
Sue..... Welcome home my friend. We missed you but glad to have you back and getting on track. You are always a winner cause you don't quit.

Oops I was thinking of Sue and I should have said welcome back Bev! Sorry I got the names wrong but you know I am thinking of both of you.0
