Hi,
Marie, Sorry you had such a bad day. Tomorrow will be better.0 -
Hi Ladies:-)
Hubs is recovering well and should be fully healed by summer. He is so very lucky!
We have a house under contract, too!! Just a quick walk from where we are currently renting so it will be nice not to have to find new everything (docs, kids' activities). We close early March.
Nice weather week here so I took the kiddos on a bike ride to kick the soccer ball around.
I'm tracking and looking forward to a continued trend downward.

Morning...
Marie...today promises to be better!
Ruthie...happy news on the house! Congrats!
Nancy...where are you? Hope that cold has not gotten worse.
Janice...what have you been up to?
Lots of warmth and sunshine here. I think nature is confused as there is pollen everywhere. It will be in the 70s all week. I have dropped 1.4 pounds today. It's hard to comprehend having a loss for 3 weeks in a row, but I will take it without complaint because I know that will change. Right now, though, I am enjoying the added protein, carbs, and a new low of 187.8. Errands for me today.
Make it count!
Connie0 -
Good morning everyone,

Connie, You have gotten into a sweet spot with your weight loss!!!!! Wonderful!!!!
Hope Andrew is doing well.
Marie, Sorry you lost your battery. Maybe you will find it before buying another one. How is your fur baby???
Janice, Hope you are doing good.
Ruthie, Congrats on your house and glad your husband is doing better.
Have a good day.

Hi guys. I'm back home from my little weekend getaway. Had an ABSOLUTE BLAST!!!!!!!! Saw friends that I have t seen in 16 years. Once word got around that I was there people called others that I knew and they came to see me. I was able to sleep on the ground on nothing more than 5 wool blankets and still get up in the morning. Have never been able to do that before. It was even chilly (low 40's upper 30's temp wise) and rainy but nobody seemed to mind. We were having too much fun and my knees never ached from the cold.

Hi,
It has been in the 70's all week here, that's not normal for us but I love it. Tomorrow it's suppose to turn cold again.
Wednesday I had a check up at the doctors, she said everything still good, plus I picked up my ring from the jewelers they put a new head on, from where the prongs wore down. I put a white gold head on it instead yellow like the rest of the ring, suggested buy the *kitten*. manager and it really looked better and made the diamond look bigger.
My back and,under rib have been hurting so I had to give them a urine sample, and they prescribed an antibiotic for ui infection. I started it yesterday.
I hope everyone is doing good. Janice0 -

Hi everyone. I have been a little tied up helping the hubby get the fishing boat ready to take up to Wrangell for some fiberglass work. We need new decks and a new fish hold. We then ran it the 90 miles up on Sunday. It was the most gorgeous day for a boat ride. Clear skies and calm seas. Have been in Wrangell since Sunday afternoon. We are waiting to be hauled out either today or tomorrow morning. I have to catch a ferry home tomorrow morning. Hubby will be staying here with a friend of his for the next couple weeks. When the boat is done I will be coming back up to help him run it home. Here is a couple pics of the ride up.

The sun has been playing hide and seek with us today,.Thee wind is really blowing tho.
Marie 0 -
Marie...happy to hear your fee and legs are less swollen!!❤️0

Hi misfits,
Boy the wind is whiling up at our place. Not supposed to have any bad weather tonight but a chance tomorrow.
Not much going on with me!!! Kinda tossing around the idea of trying Nutrisystem again.
Was on it a few years back did ok but my NP thought all the soy might have slowed down my thyroid function but nothing concrete!!!! Just can't get any results and so frustrating.
Then I think about faithful Connie and try not to give up!!!
Going to spend spring break with my sister and that will lighten my spirits!!!
Nancy0 -
Nancy...we cannot give up or give in! There are days when I want to, but it's just not an option.
It's been over 2 years for me...months and months of no results. I guess I have stayed with it because I am afraid of losing my mobility, afraid of having to take a lot of meds, and afraid that someone will have to take care of me. Weighing 240 pounds was a guarantee that those fears would come true at some point. That was my motivation to read, research, and try new ways to get the pounds moving....even slowly like 2-0 pounds a month.
I now know that very low carb was not the avenue for me. I did not really lose big like many people do...probably because I am not insulin resistant and do not have diabetes. I wasted time on that. Now I am back to basics...weighing, measuring, and no more than 50-75 grams of carb most days. Macros are set to 40%protien, 30% fat and carb. Still no bread or crackers but will have a half cup of sweet potatoes or half cup of brown rice at lunch or dinner. Have also added 2 tablespoons of oatmeal (20 grams) and a tablespoon of natural peanut butter in the morning. Calories are low....like 1200-1250 but as long as I hit the macros and am not hungry, I'm okay. Doing this last month is what pushed me into the 180s. I am eating very much like our old 1:1:1 plan...just less. Check out my diary.
I have not done Nutrisystem so I cannot comment on it except to say that I hope they have the system set up to help you with maintenance once you reach goal weight. You have to know how to transition to real food without gaining once you stop their foods.
Have fun at your sister's home!
Connie0 -
I also do not know noting about Nutrisystem either nancy But Connie has got the best plan of us all.
thanks Connie you ave got someting I don' have.. Patence. I have never given up but admit I have come pretty close to it.I really need get back on my plant base diet.But i am still working on it.
msrie0 -
Connie, Thank you!!! Lots of good information, I will definitely look at your diary. I like you want very much to be mobile
and healthy. I am not diabetic or insulin resistant and thankful for that. I am so frustrated with the knee not allowing me to
walk as much as I would like but am able to do the stationary recumbent bike without pain.
Are you getting close to your desired weight?
Nancy
0 -
Marie..Yes, I am patient this time around. Plus, spending my money at the gym and for the personal trainer is another motivator. I have been on several plans since we started several years ago and am now back to basically 1:1:1. 1 fat, 1 protein and one carb. I think when we were doing it, I was eating too many calories and wasn't losing.
Nancy...I need to lose about 25-30 more for my 5'5" height and medium frame according to the charts. That will put me in the 150s. Maybe I can get there by Christmas. Don't worry about exercise...remember that weight loss starts in the kitchen and you can't out exercise a bad diet. Connie 0 -
All i know Connie you have been extremity concictance with your plan, Maybe I need to go back to one one one. and re read it. I will bring it up on my kindleBack to our roots
