Good morning, losers! Happy Sunday!
Janice..you look wonderful..slim, trim, and happy! Did you find the perfect matress? I bought a new one last November and love it!
Just checking in since getting back from church. I hope everyone has a blessed and restful Sunday!
It's much cooler here and I'm loving it!

Thanks for the compliments, thats good to hear, sometimes. I feel like we got a perfect mattress for us, we really felt it was time for a new one. We got a plush one, the one we have right now is pillowtop, but that one felt as good as a pillowtop. It has really gotten cooler here, too. I love it, too. Last night I drained my pool, and it is drying out today. I think I am going to clean up the tomatoes and call it quits, they seem pretty done. I am going to keep the green ones for salsa verde, I seen on the Chew. It is beautiful today, we have all the windows open and I have been really busy cleaning and laundry so I can get outside. I been out a few times, messing with the pool, dogs and the tennis shoes I soaked last night, while emptying the pool. Gotta run, have a nice day, I'll check in later. Janice0

Hello Losers,
Happy Sunday to all. We are having a gray, raining day. I did my groceries today for South Beach instead of leaving it
until tomorrow. I washed bed sheets from two of our beds. We are having company next weekend.
Yoga tomorrow and cleaning my downstairs for company.
Enjoy your day!

Hi guys. I finally got a chance to read the posts. It was another nice day today so I walked the dog around the lake again. (I will try to get a picture of the lake to post when I get the chance.) I came home and had breakfast washed a load of clothes took Iris the 6 yr old to Nutcracker auditions. (She will be a toy under the tree). Shaundra had tap rehearsal for the chimney sweeps for Mary Poppins our local theater group is doing in November. So I walked around downtown playing Dodge Tourist while she danced. Then I came home and made a blackbarb pie (blackberry rhubarb) and made dinner. So I cheated on dinner it was last nights leftovers. I just had to make the rice and broccoli and heat the curried lamb and gravy up. Now I am watching a little TV and kicking back with my crochet and I realized I hadn't looked at my posts today. Gee I wonder why......... Tomorrow I need to get the car cleaned out and get my addresses and directions for a few errands I am running on Friday in Seattle. Wednesday I will be leaving for south to get my car fixed. I will be off the grid for 36 hours. In "the real world" for 36 hours and then off the grid for 36 hours again. I will be home Monday morning. The kids are staying home with my parents while we are gone. My hubby is coming with me. We are also taking the dog with us. I hope he does ok.

Hello Ladies. I read a few pages of comments to get caught up. So glad to hear everyone is doing well. We had a cold front move in late Saturday and woke up to very chilly temps. Should warm back up later this week. I did a lot of walking this weekend and spent a lot of time outside in general.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!

Hi everyone! I did end up cleaning up the tomato plants, so no more tomatoes, plus we completely got the pool mess boxed up and put in shed. We got alot accomplished, today I plan on doing alittle more outside. I ended up with over 14, 000 steps, I'm alittle sore today from all of the bending, squatting, and pulling the vines out. I like to have everything neat and put up before weather gets cold. I still have awhile before all that happens, just glad the tomato mess and pool are put up. Have a great day, Janice0

-Janice, Great workout!!!!
I am just plain lazy today!!! Don't feel like exercising at all.
Hope everyone is doing ok.
Liking this weather and should get me motivated but so far not!!!
Have a great day.
Nancy0 -
Nancy-That was yesterday, today I am not moving as much. Sometimes its just nice to take it easy, your body must need it. Sometimes this weather motivates and other days it makes you feel lazy. Have a great day, Janice0
-
Janice, great going on the 14,000 steps, Kudos!!
Marie - OA should help you and your sugar levels. Are you going to meetings or doing this on line?
Esther - See you in a week and good luck with the car.
Nancy - I love this weather it makes me motivated to get things done.
Today was Yoga this morning our studio was closed for a week now back to classes again. Yay!
I did some cleaning on the downstairs because we are having company for the weekend.
Have a good evening.

Connie and Janice, What kind of mattress did you get. I will be looking at getting one in the near future. I hate making that decision as it is so important to get the right one. Been reading about Sleep Number and Tempur-Pedic.
I read that some people seem to get hot sleeping on Tempur-Pedic and I certainly don't need more heat!!!
Thanks, Nancy0 -
Shirley I am doing the one on facebook group so far I like it. It is better than the one I started with Xyla , remember her? the one in her group was more stick. I heard MFP has a grouP too. have not check it out But I am getting the haned of this one so I will stick with it. for a while. lets us make headways this fall. before the Holidays

Nancy-The mattress we purchased is a Restonic Plush Mattress, with a fabric that cools your body temperature. I need to look on receipt for the exact model name. It hasn't arrived yet, Wednesday its being delivered. Our bed sits off the floor 15" and is high, the new mattresses and boxspring would have put it too high, so we had to get a low profile boxspring we found after we measured and had to change our order to the low one. I thought I'd mention that if your bed sits off the ground.
Today my sister went back to the hospital, before that another sister, Donna, and I were at her house, to be there when the visiting nurse came. After doing some test, she thought Linda should go to the hospital, there were signs of dehydration, plus she's been falling and dizzy, plus not breathing well, she is already always connected to oxygen, her bad pancreas, plus signs of pnuemonia possibly. She is just not making it living on her own. She wanted to go by ambulance and the paramedics said her heart was in afib, also, before she left. I ran home to change and met Donna and Linda's daughter at hospital. They ran alot of test and were giving her fluids for dehydration. They were going to run a cat scan on her head, to see if she's had a stroke, she's also having trouble forming sentences and real slow to answer anything. I left after 10pm, after they said they were going to admit her soon. My neice was still there when we left. I really dont know whats gonna happen to her, its so sad, she's only alittle less than 5yrs older than me. She was only home alittle over a month after being gone for 3 months. Its so upsetting, she is so skinny and pitiful. Earlier I took her food and she choked on it, and it was potato wedges and little popcorn fried chicken. She cant eat hardly anything. Well I'm done venting, please keep her in your prayers. Janice

Good morning, losers! Happy Tuesday!
Nancy..we have a Beautyrest Hybrid which has innersprings and memory foam. I do not have the model number, but I do know that it was the top model of its line. Janice is right about height...I wanted a low profile, too, because our bed is high. We had a pillow top that hubs picked out and I hated. The matress was very thick, hard to turn, and I had to get the deepest pocket fitted sheets I could find. Felt like I was smothering in it and had to use small steps to get up. We kept it for five years, and I finally said no more. This one I can climb in without steps! Unfortunately, my fitted sheets are a little too big for it.
Janice..sorry to hear about your sister. Maybe you can find someone to come to her home on a daily basis just to keep an eye on her rather than a nursing home. Prayers coming your way.
Marie..glad you like OA. The group on MFP seems pretty active, too.
Ruthie, Shirley, Esther.. good to see you guys.
Nice weather here today. I am busy today with sorting and throwing away in one room. They finally cleared our lot so that means I need to get started with my purging of this one. Also need to get to the grocery store.
Have a productive day, losers!

I can't find a current one..only an old group. That's strange because a few months ago there was a general call for members on the regular forums.0 -
I am back to trusty 196.? Not my best 3 month challenge, but not failing it.
I would prefer to be showing a 190 right now, but life happens and I'm glad it's not hitting 200 or 200+. I did my walk this morning and I did a bike the other day. I still have not embraced strength and that will be important to faster progress, but I'm logging daily and keeping in range. I'll do a measure at the end of the month, not really expecting much change in the tape, but you never know.
Public Memorial for friend number 2 will be Sept. 20, but I will not be in attendance. The public memorial is going to be in California and will have literally hundreds of people at it and I just can't...do that. I've done my private remembrances and am slowly moving past immediate loss feelings and into acceptance and smiles and token acknowledgements on both my people. Good lives and made it 53 and 63 respectfully, too short, but still good lives, beautiful hearts, wonderful legacies. When my time comes I can only hope to emulate even a fraction of who they were.
Next milestone in real life is continuing to work with my daughter on her suicidal depression, anxieties and senior year pressures. 17 is such a mixed bag of emotions. I think we've turned a corner on it and feel that she is re-engaged again. We still don't/can't leave her alone yet, but that will come.
I've started thinking about home projects again after a lull of nearly 2 years and we bought a wall piece for the living room. Baby steps.
It is a pleasure to read about each of your daily lives and to in some way feel that I have a place to come as well.0 -
Connie and Janice, Thanks for your info on your mattress.
-Janice, Sorry to hear that your sister is not doing well. Hope things turn around for her.
Nice weather for a short time but grateful for the past few days.
Taking another rest day.
Have a good day.
Nancy

Hello Friends,
A lovely day and warm again. I took a 45 min walk and then got a snack for our sailing trip tomorrow with friends.
I will be going to Yoga in the morning and then we are meeting our friends at 2PM for a day sail.
I made a new recipe today for South Beach Phase 1. They are like little omelettes done in a muffin pan. I have made
them before but a little different this time I added mushrooms and onions and green onions. You are allowed two
of them for breakfast. I also started drinking a new drink I found on Pinterest. Green tea, mint and orange slices.
Have a cup before each meal. It is supposed to detox and flush fat out of the body. We will see if this works.
Shirley0 -
Hi Step, Glad to hear from you.
We don't have any projects going on right now.
Take care.

Jake has gone to visit his family in Ohio for a week so my life is much simpler....just the pets and me.....I wouldn't like to live like this all the time, but it is fun for a few days.0

I went to hospital today, the have been running more test, they think due to the results of another test that she has blood clots. Today they did a mri, we dont have the results yet. They have taken here off one of her medicibes and today, she seemed more normal acting, when she woke up. Donna and I were up there for a few hours and then she took me and my other sister to dinner at Texas Roadhouse, she recently retired and wanted to treat us. Neither of us had eaten, we had talked about doing lunch, but the day went fast. It was really good I only ate half my steak and 1 roll, salad and baked potato. I brought the other half steak home and a roll home.
Steph/ Barbie- I hope you enjoy your husband away, its only good for a short time. I end up missing mine pretty quick, when he's gone, but I dont like sleeping here alone, either.
Well gotta go, the mattress delivery will probably come early. Janice0 -
Good morning, losers! Happy Wednesday!
Steph..good to see you are back!
Janice.. I love the rolls at Texas Roadhouse! Hope your sister is on the mend. Sometimes doctors over-medicate us!
Shirley..SB is a good plan. I wish you much success.
Marie..hang in there, my friend.
Barbie, Nancy, Eniad..hello!!
This is a quick one as I am going to the gym in a minute. Down 1.2 today so I can say now that the two months of maintenance worked. Maybe I will finally move steadily in the right direction!
Will check back later!
Connie0 -
Good Morning,
-Connie, So happy to see that things are working for you. Great loss!!!
Hope everyone will have a good day.
Nancy0 -
Connie-Glad to see the scales is going in the right direction, so glad the maintenance worked for you. Janice0

Steph....... I am going to wish you a happy birthday now because I will be down south on Saturday and most likely off the grid.
