Hi gang. Ok. I'm here again finally. Haven't even looked at the phone today except to answer two calls. Been really busy with frosting an Olaf cake for Iris. Cleaned one of our apartments. It just needed a good mopping. Went to the Rec Center for Iris's birthday party. We had a private room for the cake and presents and then we went to the open swim for an hour and a half. Then we went to dinner with my brother and his son who are visiting for a few days. Tomorrow we are going on a float plane ride!!!! My favorite form of transportation!!!!!! My girls' favorite too. My nephew has never been on one. I will post a pic tomorrow of the float plane ride.
Eninad......just give your daughter lots of hugs love and support. And don't forget to tell her how proud of her you are. We as parents sometimes forget that part. Shaundra (the one in pointe shoes) asked me why I show off her pictures and I told her it is because I am so very proud of her. She is very pretty, polite, sweet, friendly, and amazing. She started to get teary-eyed when I said that. Give your daughter a hug from me and tell her I said she is an amazing person because she has you for a mother.

Esther, great photo of your daughter in her new toe shoes......I took ballet for about eight years and the picture made me nostalgic. 0 -
Good morning and happy Monday. I am back at it and committed to tracking, exercising, and chatting with my misfit friends. Why is it so easy to fall off course??
It will be another hot day in Georgia but beginning tomorrow the heat and humidity are expected to break. Yay!
Soccer starts up this week for both of mine and their practice schedules make it impossible for me to get both where they need to be. Not sure how this will work when hubs is traveling. Oh well, the things we do for those we love.
Hoping everyone has a fabulous Monday!!

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Monday!
Eninad..I agree with Esther..lots of encouragement. Parenting is a hard job and being adolescent is a hard job. Hang in there. We are here for you.
Ruthie, Steph, Janice, Faye, Barbie...glad to see you guys back! Missed you.
I've exercised and walked the dog. So sick of the humidity..soaked with sweat by the time I got back in the house. Not too much planned today. I am down .04 which puts me exactly where I was before the diet break. Still not doing a happy dance, but will take it.
Stay strong, losers...it's a hard road to travel, but we can do it!

I did weigh today and was happy to see that I am still in the 170's, It was beautiful here today, and I opened the house up and had my new air freshener going. Tonight I made us a big salad and a pasta salad to have with our barbecued smoked pork. I had alittle pasta salad and barbecue without a bun plus a salad, very satisfying. I have been putting grapes in my salad all summer, it really adds to it, plus my homemade pico de gio, from my tomatoes. I am so glad we planted them again. Next year maybe some zuchinni , too. Tonight the low is around 50 here, crazy but I like it. I'm getting tired, talk to you all soon. Janice0

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Tuesday!
I'm right here, Marie! I posted yesterday morning right above Nancy's..you must have just missed me!
Nancy..good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone! You are bound to feel some aches and pains the next day, but it should not be extreme pain or last very long.
Looks like many of you have checked in (Becky? Ray?), and despite some glitches we call life, we are all doing as well as we can be. Sometimes it's just a matter of maintaining until we can get it together. Planning is key and that takes concentration so hang in until it settles for you.
It's still hot and humid, and although I have just finished a walking DVD, I need to walk the dog. Other than that, I have a hair appointment today, grocery shopping, and need to start cleaning closets.
Make it a great day, losers!

nancy, good to see you!!
ester, I get exhausted just reading about your life, you deserve a medal!!

Today I grabbed a pair of pants that I recall buying at ROSS in desperation last summer. I needed a pair of pants immediately due to a malfunction while I was out on the road so whatever ROSS had on the rack that day I was going to buy. They were so tight, I was so miserable, but I bought them anyway and squeezed into them uncomfortably. When I got home I tossed them in the closet.
I saw them again this morning and I figured, hey, I bet these fit now. I grabbed them and tried to put them on. Fully zipped and buttoned they fell off my body to the floor, like a sack of denim. No belt would have made a difference. There is a bigger difference than I think going on.

Hello Misfits
I am back from the cottage and ready to get back to normal eating. I did get in two Yoga classes while at the cottage and
walked most days to keep up. Our friend Tom brought a cheesecake from Costco, that I could have done without.
I will not weigh in until Thursday for the challenge due to getting rid of water weight. I had a chiropractic apt. my usual
adjustment once a month and got groceries out of the way. Now getting back to South Beach meals again and getting
on track.
Eninad - Sorry about the troubles with your daughter. I had two daughters and the hormones are always rageing.
I agree, give her love and support and just listen when she wants to talk. No intervention, just listen, sometimes that's
all they want. Always give the hugs and let her know you love her. I tell my daughters that every time I see them
and they are 32 and 34.
Connie - Congrats on the weight loss. I hope things cool down your way.
Stephanie - If anyone wants routine it is me too. I have been gone so much this summer and eating
has been a challenge. I just want to be home and get back to some routine and just catch up around
the house and relax at times. Too busy right now.
Janice - I want to be in the 170's again and feel my clothes loose again. Good for you that you are
staying there and not gaining.
Hi to anyone I missed.
Here is a picture of Isaac at the cottage.

Nancy to tell you the truth I have not got brave enough to fix those Miracle noodles
Stephanie Have you tried them?
Toniht I am having a baked potatoes and apple cole slaw. Love that stuff
Marie0 -
My new weight lifting with heavier weights on Sunday really got to me so today I did a shorter routine to give my back a rest. I know I'm going to love the heavier weights. 0

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Wednesday!
Shirley..your grandbaby is adorable!
Marie..good to see you...apple cole slaw sounds good!
Eninad..congrats on the pants!! That's way better than any number on the scale!
Steph...your routine will settle soon and you can can concentrate on planning.
Nancy..all we can do is hang on.
It was gym morning with trainer for me. Need a shower.
Make it a great day, losers!
Stay strong!
Connie0 -
Yes the kids are gone and hopefully, both will have a great day!! I am back to being able to focus on myself a bit and hopefully moving the scale in the right direction.
marie, yes I have had both the noodles and the shirtaki noodles. they are really good especially if you want to make fake chicken fettuccini or if you sautee veggies and some form of protein. very satisfying but for some reason, I always feel kind of icky after I eat them? you are suppose to rinse them thoroughly. I know many people who eat them and don't have any issues. try them and see what you think, they are clearly a great alternative to pasta.
hope everyone has a great day!!0 -
Good Morning Misfits,
Nice to have some cooler weather.
-Shirley, Isaac is so cute.
Ready to get my exercise done for today.
See you later.
Nancy0 -
Thanks Stephanie, I will do that one evening I don/t know why I order them for a am not a pasta eater.
my apple slaw was real good. I remember that Shirley made apple cole slaw one time so I bought me some Peeled sliced apples for I can not handled the peelings. And dole came out with a new slaw mix that I really like It was real good. May have some more today I think I have about 2 servings left and have some sweet potato in the oven now.
I baked a white potato to last night and I guess the sweet potato spoil me for they are so moist and good and the white potato was so dry. how do you baked a white potato to be moist.?
Barbie do be careful with those heavy weights
Shirley Isaac is darling. I have another great grandson coming along in Jan.
My kittens are getting to be a handful. They wait till we wake up and meet us at the door and play till they give out. they are napping now. Peace at last.
I go to the heart doctor Monday.
See you later
hugs Marie

Shirley-Isaac has really grown and is so cute in his batman outfit. I hope Thursday the scale is good to you, you did exercise quit a bit while you were away and that had to help. I am sure you be fine.
It has been so beautiful here the past few days, I have had the house opened all day, getting that free air conditioning, very unusual for us this time of your, but I love it. I took some beautiful pictures the other day I think you all will like.
I hope you like them, I need to clear some things on my tablet, it says I have low memory and 1st time it didnt let me post. Gotta go , need to work on my tablet. Janice0 -
Beautiful Janice thank you for sharing with us The last picture is jumping around is it suppose too. I like it.

I lost my post while typing, everything went crazy so I will try again. I just got back from Yoga class and watered all the
gardens. I think my helpers when we were gone didn't water everything. Some of my ground cover looks like it is dying and
I am trying to get it back again. It is the end of the season so I guess it doesn't matter so much.
I have all the laundry done and now have to put it all away. It was a beautiful day but now it is clouding up again.
Janice - Lovely pictures and yes one of them is moving. Cool.
We have a wedding this Saturday in the states to go to and we are seeing a play tomorrow night with friends.
Thanks for all the compliments on Isaac, we think he is a pretty special guy.
