Lesa - isn't the right size lunch sack the greatest. Since I retired, I no longer need mine - kinda miss them some days!
Happy Mother's day moms. My sons took us to breakfast this morning for mom's day and my bd. Gave me a 2 TB external hard drive as a gift. DH got me new gene software, Roots Magic 7, family atlas and gensmarts plus a book. I can color code the family tree - should be well used as I'm starting over due to known errors and wrong folks being included. Can build in here and move to ancestry and FTM later. Or maybe just stay here - we'll see. Watching U tube videos to get up to par.0 -
Hi Shirl
A quick Question, I have found duplicate Genealogical records. Is there any place that You know of that might be interested in them?
Thank You

Happy Birthday Shirl! Good luck with your new project...that sounds cool.
Hi everyone! I'm exhausted from exercise! Woo hoo!!! Body is sore. Dogs are exhausted too!!! Walked and jogged 9 miles this weekend (my normal is less than one mile). Cleaned, replanted, and mulched my flowerbed that now has VEGGIES! (Tomatoes and Bell peppers.) (Photos of my flowerbed and my mother's day sculpture are on my profile). And cleaned out a kitchen cabinet to remove expired meds and vitamins, and organize the rest! Ahhh.
I've discovered that when I jog, my feet BURN. So, I Googled options, and ordered (Amazon) Adidas Climacool Aerate running shoes. They have ventilation holes under (so no puddle jumping!) and mesh around, so that should help. I also ordered (Amazon) some Omega 3 capsules, so...looking out for my health.
Purchased shorts in the regular women's section 16/18! And, when I was shopping with Em for a new bathing suit for her, I noticed that we shop in the same section! So, I held up a size 0/2 and a 16/18 of the same suit and said, "We could be twins!" Poor 12 year old...she looked horrified. LOL. (I wouldn't do that to her...but it was interesting that this is the first time that that is even possible.
If I didn't have an insane crazy job, I could actually take really GOOD care of myself. Need to keep working to carve out time for me during the week (this was my first weekend off from work in a while...and will be the last till vacation 1June!) Take care everyone! Val0 -
Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers on this forum. I was so proud of myself today as my husband took me out to Mother's Day brunch buffet. They had scrambled eggs, fresh asparagus, which I loaded on my plate and sautéed zucchini, peppers and onion and. Bacon( limited to two strips) , fresh melons and the deserts were very mini cheesecakes, so I had two of them as a treat. Normally, I would have totally filled my plate without thinking. It's amazing when you look around at others plates piled high . My daughters live away from us, so it was great to visit with one yesterday and talk to the other today. I received flowers from both of them and some photos of my first grandson. A special day indeed.
I am hoping the scales have moved this week. My clothes do feel loser, so I must measure.
Val you are doing an amazing weightloss. I realized you started the same time as me and I have lost half that.
Happy Birthday Shirley.
Roger thank you for all the forums you have set up.
Scrappin...I like the Ancestry.com website. I found my fathers family back to 1510 in Scotland, even though my family and I grew up in England.
Bye to the NS site..I will keep checking on NuMi so I can gather the bears. Still using the N s site to record foos, so hope that stays.
Have agood week everyone.0 -
You did great w your choices at the buffet!!! I'm impressed, not sure I could do that yet. I havent eaten out since starting. I really want to engrain these new habits. I used to be buffet-queen! (My frugal side likes getting my monies worth.) so I need to let go of that concept before I test those waters.
My doctor told me that our bodies seem to get used to specific weights, especially if we've spent time at that weight previously. The first 15 pounds were "new fat" that I had gained since November. That fat n I hadnt known each other long. But this fat that I'm working on has been w me for more than a decade. My loss rate is slowing, but I'm fine w that. I think I over did the exercise today!0 -
Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms out there

Hi y'all
Had a great time in Branson and I did really well eating at Joe's Crab Shack but went bonkers last night and ate stuff I shouldn't have, oh well. We didn't get to do much because it was super stormy but we had a great time just spending time together and getting away from home. I had found a room deal on expedia and was surprised at how gorgeous the resort is. Our room ended up being a mini suite in a cabin that included 2 other rooms, we had a lovely porch with a little table that looked out over the woods. I took my NS foods with me and my boyfriend is super supportive about me being on this plan but for some reason I adopted an I'm on vacation attitude and only ate NS food for breakfast this morning. I will try to do better next time I go away.
I weighed today and was sad to see that I had my first gain, a little under a pound but I'm thinking all the salt I ate yesterday could be affecting that so I refuse to be down about it.0 -
Good afternoon, everyone! Had a totally off last two days. A customer brought me and my daughter a THIRTY INCH PIZZA in for us on Saturday (egads!) and was just not on plan Sunday for Mother's Day. That's ok. I'm back on it today. Hopefully I didn't blow it too much! Will find out Tuesday.
Have a great day everyone!0 -
Hi Lesa
Quite likely the Salt is contributing to that. I tend to go up and down day to day but as long as I trend down I am happy.
Have a Good Week All

Hi NS buddies!
I'm about to leave for a cardiologist appointment for dh, so this will be a quickie!~ We had storms this morning, and now the sun is out brightly! In fact dh was out on a 4 mile walk, and I heard something on the windows and sure enuf, big drops of rain! I quickly called to see where he was, and went to retrieve him! ha Got his walk cut short, but looks like blue skies now, so maybe when we return he can finish the walking.
I have lots of stops to make today too, various stores, as it's our youngest dd's birthday next Monday. Did some online shopping, but also have items I need to buy locally. Had a great cookout at her house yesterday for Mother's day too! After dsil got done grilling the rain started last evenign too! We got our annuals planted yesterday, so happy for some rain!!!
Thought for today...
Fear less, hope more,
eat less, chew more
whine less, breathe more,
talk less, say more,
hate less, love more,
and good things will
be yours.

Roger - do you have a local historical society near by? They would be interested in gene stuff. Your local library may also be interested.
Pudge - thanks for your quote - always love your quotes.
I love ancestry, right now don't have a subscription. Pulled some wrong, bad info off ancestry trees, that's why I have to start over. If another person publishes unchecked things, it can send you on a wild goose chase of people who aren't your ancestors. That's where I'm at at the moment.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. big 65 today! DH is 65 tomorrow. Got a new CPAP today - pretty cool - chipped and everything. Ran errands, got some bakery - a doz cupcakes for golf meeting tonight. Supposed to golf at 4:30 - unsure, having some breathing issues today - but I will at least show up for the meeting. Supposed to be making a bd card for dh - not into it, unfortunately - may just pick one up tonight.0 -
We have a whole week to get on track and make our good choices! Sounds like everyone is really doing pretty good! We have to learn to take our days, and just deal with what life throws us. It becomes easier, and we do a little better. If not, well we can get back on and make a difference!
Val- you are on fire!!! Keep inspiring us!
I said good bye to my 16 year old bulldog mix yesterday. The house is so quiet without her, though I still have my 16 year old border collie mix. We are taking care of each other! I had some homemade mac and cheese for the day. Not too healthy, but comforting and I stayed in my calories. So today, I keep on! I changed my name to Buttons here to honor her and keep her close, since I knew it was coming. Thinking how to handle things is smart. And something we have in our power. Her last day did not go as planned, as our air conditioning took that day to blow and needs replacing. It is hot and very humid, though not as hot as the days before. And I have some funny memories of her grumbling at me as though I did not know the air was out. But no matter as she took her rightful place in front of the fan! I still feel very blessed to have been her human and hope to honor her by being the best human I can be.
Keep trucking guys! We will do this!!!! And thanks for the forum to share!!!

Hi everyone! Hope y'all's day is going well. Started my day out late because I had to fast for bloodwork and my appt wasn't until 9. Didn't leave there until 10:15 then had another appt that made me getting to work at 11:45. Soooooo I'm just gonna do what I can to eat what i"m supposed to without gorging myself trying to get it all in. I did eat one of those P3 snack packs between appts and a breakfast bar so that wasn't too bad.
I weighed in at my appt and I've lost 6 lbs since restarting. I could've done better if I had stayed 100% this last two weeks, but all in all I'm happy to have lost what I did. Getting back on track for the rest of the day will help.
What do y'all suggest for someone that isn't a morning eater? I find I'm having trouble forcing myself to eat anything until about 11 or 12. I usually just have a cup or two of coffee. The other two problems I have is getting all my water in and eating veggies. It's not that I don't like them, because I do. I just don't. *sigh* I so gotta get better at this than what I'm doing now.
Talk to y'all later! Have a great day!0 -

Where does the fat go when you lose weight? Answer: "...most of the mass is breathed out as carbon dioxide. It goes into thin air.” Losing 10 kilograms of human fat requires the inhalation of 29 kilograms of oxygen, producing 28 kilograms of carbon dioxide and 11 kilograms of water. That’s the metabolic fate of fat."
KEEP BREATHING! It's a cycle...plants absorb the carbon dioxide and use the carbon to grow do we can eat them!

I am so sorry to hear that
. I have three chihuahuas and my oldest chihuahua has seizures almost every day now. She was hit by a car when she was about 4 and survived but she started to develop seizures due to the accident (she is 12 years old). I was told by the vet that there is a good chance that she won't be with us for much longer. Again, I am truly sorry . 0 -
Thanks, Sue. It is an adjustment, I just miss her, no matter how you know it is coming. You are so good to take care of your little chihuahua! So many people do not realize the commitment! Somehow you know when it is time, and those last moments become even more precious.0

Val- you are cracking me up! I am still rolling from the visual image of the fat I have known the longest, as that is whom I am intimate with now myself. I am happy to be in the circle of life, even though at times I am only contributing metabolic waste. My goal is of course to contribute more on a regular basis! LOL!
Shirl- Happy Belated Birthday! We celebrate a couple times in our family, because of crazy schedules! Have an excellent week! Don't let the cupcakes gang up on you! Hope you and hubby just enjoy! Ci-paps and Bi-paps(mine) can make great gifts. Who knew? Take care and just enjoy!!!0 -
Hey Terri- I have trouble eating first thing too! I find the bars are the easiest then, the biscotti bites are great taken with a mouthful of coffee or a slight soaking! I have ordered like 8 packs! I always pack lunch bars or the breakfast if I am on the go, so I don't get too hungry. I also like the granola with almond milk. In a pinch it is fast. Downed in original container just before I go, and I save the wrapper to remind me to chart. Just a habit now. Don't eat till you drank a water! Fastest method when hungry!! Or keep a cute cup covered to sip from constantly! ..I like most of my veggies at lunch, then I am more full for the evenings, which is my hardest time. I guess that works because I am home though! Buy a pretty container, and pack your bag the night before. It is a mindset really! Even if it is for 5 min. you are worth the time to drink your water and eat your snack. Try a new veg, maybe bok choy or fresh. Bake with a little olive oil and enjoy for supper with extras for lunch. You are half way there! You recognize you are just not doing it--YET! You will!Hi everyone! Hope y'all's day is going well. Started my day out late because I had to fast for bloodwork and my appt wasn't until 9.

Hi Terri
6 pounds is nothing to sneeze at. Congratulations.
I never ate in the morning. I would get up shower etc. Get dressed for work, have a really large cup of coffee on the way to work and finish it while at work. Then around 1PM have a big lunch. It was hard getting used to a breakfast every day however............
When I started NutriSystem I think the best thing I did for myself was to start planning the next days foods and pull them ahead of time. Then I would get up eat my morning Breakfast of a NS Entree, PF + SC and Coffee.
The PF is usually a NS Protein Shake and the SC is always a Banana. Sometimes if they get really ripe I plan the Banana into either a NS Breakfast Cereal or a Blended into NS Vanilla Protein Shake.
Some of the tasty NS Breakfasts IMO are the hot and cold Cereals, The Honey Bagel with a Extra of LF Cream Cheese and/or Jelly, the Cinnamon Bun Bar, The Apple Strudel Bar, The Muffins - lightly heated. The Biscotti Bites are OK if Dunked in Coffee and the Oatmeal Cranberry Bites too.
If You get Frozen the Cinnamon Roll is so much better and lighter (larger physically) than the Cinnamon Bun, I also like the French Toast, Waffles and the Frozen Pancakes as well as the Canadian bacon and egg biscuit.
You do want to have a liquid and Food at the start of the day ton help get the metabolism going early.
Good Luck

Hi Sue
I am sorry to hear about You pets problems. Sometimes that happens due to the type of thing You describe. That does not make it better sadly.

Thanks, Roger. That's exactly how I was. I would drink coffee then not eat until 12 or so. But even then it wasn't a lot that I ate. I've never been a big eater. Just ate at the wrong times and the wrong things. I'll try to take your words of advice about eating in the morning, though it's going to be hard. One day I'll get it then not on the next day. Ugh! lol
Hope everyone has a great day!!!0 -
Can I ask if anyone has a suggestion for a good electronic scale? I don't seem to have lost any weight the last couple of weeks and when I checked my measurements, I have had lost several inches since my start date, with only 15 lbs lost. I don't want to live by the scale, but it does give you encouragement when you have a loss.0

I have found that spacing my food out every 2.5 hours also helps keep cravings away.
Good Luck

Hi
What I did was I ended up with a balance beam scale $179 on Amazon with free shipping.
It takes up a bit of space and is not as easy as a electronic scale. It is consistent however.
Having said that There is nothing wrong with an electronic scale. How accurate the weight is, is not as important in my mind as having the scale be consistent. I threw out my old scale when I discovered that just getting on and off and on again gave a different reading.
What I suggest is find a place that has scales You can try and find a model that You like where when You get on and off several times it always shows the same weight.
One other thing to try first would be changing the batteries.
Good Luck
