Janice..58 pounds is awesome! I hope to get there at some point.
Eninad..sounds like you had a fun Halloween.
Steph..good to see you!
Make it a great day!

Veggies and protein...yes. I sent you a message.
Sorry to hear about your foot.0 -
Connie I am so proud of you. Sweetie you are jiving Keep it up. You know I think we get a lot of carbs in our veggies and cording to a friend of mine enough protein. in our veggies, I thought I wrote something like this earlier
But could not find it. You Rock. girl. I do eat some tacos chips for they are gluten free.
I made my summer yellow squash casserole and delish. Got two more meals put up for later in the freezer I used those little trays that the gluten free meals come in for they hole a cup of casserole. Slowly but surely we are going to get there
Love Marie0 -
CONNIE - I too deal with trigger fingers, and have had cortisone shots in the past. I know inflammation is the culprit for
me too. What kind of carbs are you eliminating? Good luck with the MRI.. Yoga has helped with my joint pain immensely.
MARIE - The only joint pain supplement I have taken in the past has been GLUCOSAMINE/CONDROITIN. You have to take
it for about a month to see any results. There is also MSM.
ENINAD - Sounds like Halloween was fun with the little ones. I was away on that weekend for the first time in over
20 years so no handing out candy and I used to get dressed up too and paint my face.
STEPHANIE - Ouch! I hope the toe gets better soon. It must be painful.
RUTHIE - Good to hear from you, glad you found us we are still hanging in.
A beautiful day here the temps in the high 60's and warm. I went to Yoga this morning
and got my hair cut from another hairdresser. My hairdresser is dealing with a lump
she found in her breast. She had it removed and now is waiting the results. Lisa cut
my hair and she did a great job for the first time. I have been going to Dawn for many
years. I hope her prognosis is positive.
Yesterday was the anniversary date of my very best friend who passed away one year
ago from cancer. We met with her husband and two daughters last night at the
grave site. We were invited over for dinner at one of the daughter's new house which
was just built. The other daughter gave me a butterfly necklace in memory of her
mom.. It brought me to tears and that was so thoughtful of her.
I am now waiting for my DH to come home and start dinner, he just bought a used
canoe for our daughter and son in law for Christmas. They live not far from a lake
and they always use the one we have at the cottage when they visit.

the doctor thinks I have some sort of nerve compression syndrome.....I'm going for a nerve conduction test on November 20 and until then, taking a prescription for nerve pain and wearing foot splints to bed. I'm still walking the dogs and dancing and riding my exercise bike but I'm in pain and there's a tingling in my legs and feet. I'm taking it one day at a time and not trying to use the internet to self-diagnose.
Shirley, your yoga weekend sounds like a great time.
Marie, sorry that your son went fishing instead of coming to see you stephanie, sorry about your foot Connie, hope you find out what ails your knee so you can be back to all your regular exercise Barbie
this is what the foot splint looks like

I am sticking to my plan of eating. getting use to eating this way I got to for gluten sake.. But I am staying away from gluten free sweets just extra carbs I do not need I think I am getting plenty in my non starchy veggies I do have a bowl of fruit for breakfast every morning. Connie you have encourage me on sticking to protein and vegies. I am learning to cook a whole new way. I am freezing my left over food by a meal size. When I cook. That is giving me lots of TV dinnersYay do not have to cook as often, along with gluten free Lean cuisine TV dinners.
Connie I had trigger fingers too long time ago. Kept giving me shots and finally did surgery on that hand and no more problems since
Sleep well my friends,
Marie.0 -
Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Thursday!
Barbie... The internet can be a blessing and a curse. It can inform you as well as frighten you.
Marie..freezing meals is a great idea! I have a few Lean Cuisine in the freezer...the ones with turkey and vegetables. I keep those for emergencies.
Shirley...such a nice gift for your daughter and SIL.
Steph..hope that foot feels better.
Not much planned today except the house purge continues. I have done a short exercise DVD and will go walk the dog in a few minutes. It's still cloudy and wet...we have not seen the sun for so long.
I had the MRI on the knee, and I have a DVD copy. I don't really know what I'm looking at exactly, but I can see that there is still lots of cushioning between the bones, so that's a relief. When my DIL comes this weekend, I'll have her look at it. My next orthopedic appt is the 18th.
My knee just feels so much better and so does my finger. I haven't been able to wear a ring on that finger for many months. That is enough for me to continue with low carbs/calories. I did have my weekly cheat meal yesterday...Red Robin...burger, fries, shared a piece of cheesecake. I am up a little today, but know that is water from sodium.
Time will tell.
Make it a great day, losers!

hi everyone,
connie, thanks for sending me the info. I wish that they just told you exactly what to eat, I do better like that. I have a hard time cutting out all carbs. it makes me go the other way a bit and binge. I'm so glad it is working well for you!! cheat meal sounds yummy!
marie, I wish I had more frozen meals! I am always scrambling to get to the store and get dinner on the table. my family is a little spoiled, particularly my husband. that is my fault. last night I raced home from taking my son somewhere and started dinner around 6. my son needed to be at basketball by 7:30, always a mad dash, had salad, steaks, spaghetti and green beans on the table by 6:35. I could use a valium after that, lol!
Shirley, love how much yoga you do. I tried so hard to get into it and just never got the mental connection:(
Barbie, agree with connie, internet can be an issue.
have a great day everyone!

one day at a time
I am taking one day at a time
Have not got my plan for today work out. Had my fruit and cottage cheese for breakfast.
Will do some research on find the Teas 5 point star pattern. I am having problems this computer keeps dropping letters Don't know how to correct it Maybe I need to cut it off and restart it. If I try to correct it just keeps getting worst.
Connie you are doing great. Hummmmmmmmmmmm Hamburger and frys. Can't beat that I am not going for a cheat day Except When Alice and I go out to eat. Which is Still gluten free But higher in sodium than I am used to.But that is just every 2 weeks Alice is beginning to eat more like me now.
Be back later to let you all know how my day is going.

Good afternoon to everyone,
Spending some time at Orange Beach for our anniversary. Eating out every meal is
very hard to add to food diary. So just guessing most of the time.
Have a good day.

Nancy, thats great you all have went away to celebrate your anniversary. Just do the best you can guessing your calories, it will be okay, enjoy your time, and get back on track when you get home.
Marie-I remember a tomato base soup, that was unlimited on weight watchers. I probably have the recipe still, I'll have to look for it in my old diet paperwork. I am a lifetime member of ww, but currently not at my goal weight, if I get there again, I would be free to all meetings, if I wanted to go again and weighed in once a month, within 2 pounds of my goal weight. That would help keep me in check. Not sure if I will do that, again.
Connie-I thought by now, I would have been alittle smaller, but I have raised my calories by eating more and using my exercise calories to cover them usually. Its a viscous cycle, I have gotten in to. I am up alittle, but it will go down. Janice0 -
Janice I am a life time member too. since 1969. But been years since I have been to a meeting
Keep working on it Janice Its a good plan . but I iknow nothing about the points system Marie

Marie-I havent been for about 9 years, its hard to believe its been that long. I wasnt at goal then either. I just need to scale back on my calories, and quit eating so much. I'll work it out, sooner or later. Janice0

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Friday!
Nancy...Happy Anniversary!!
Marie..I used to make taco soup on WW...broth,corn, canned tomatoes, 2 or 3 kinds of drained beans, and taco seasoning. Yum!!
I never got to goal with WW and the last time I joined, I was obsessed with counting points! Last time I did it I did it online and did not lose anything..too many choices.
I read that it has lost membership and money in the last few years and that's why they offered Oprah a deal to buy shares in hopes to build back membership.
Just returned from the gym and need to run errands. Still no sun for us but not raining, so that's good.
Have a great weekend, losers!

Since we are on WW let me tell you my adventure with them I join in 1069 at 172 lbs 2 girls heard about The Jean N plan and went to Ny to learnsd the plan came back to the Dallas area and started a group I was in the early stages of the plan here in Dallas/ We all learn together I talk a couple of my friends to go with me we had a blast So much fun After the meeting we would go for coffee and talk about our week In June of that year I reach my ooal of 125 lbs I work at a bank at that time and had the best support anyone could ask for They kept kidding me if I gain they would put a big fat pig in my yard Well I did not want a fat pig in my yard So I follow the plan till I reach goal I did follow the plan to a T My first meal out was a Dairy Queen Hamburgers' and frys Oh so good
My meal consisted of Breakfast 1 egg 1 piece of toasts no butter piece of fruit and glass of skim milk
My lunch tuna salad , 1 sliced bread apple can of French style green beans
A typical Friday night dinner 5 wieners all beef pickle beets, fruit Milk shake before bed time consist of 1 cup of skim milk yes I uaed the powder skim milk still do cup of frozen fruit like strawberries and some kind of sweetner and water and ice Don't remember the name It is not allowed now But here there are some people still ording it from Mexico
Did eat as lot of full fat cottage cheese pineapple and etc. We ate a lot of meat I could not go back on it now with my kidneys I did not eat fish like they wanted us to but did hit the tuna , Did learn to like it with mustard
we were not allowed Mayo It work just fine till I quilt going to meetings and all of these points came in Which I did not like nor the liver
So I am still looking for the answer for me after soul searcing here for 8 years on MFP I met a wonderful group of people here but not much weight lost I got up to 215 at one time So lost it and hovering around 200 pounds I am down to 1901 now I am trying to eat my carbs for breakfast and leave off carbs at lunch and dinner Unless I get a low blood sugar had 2 serving's of carbs for breakfast The carbs gives you energy to get thru the day The rest of the day I have non starchy veggies, beans or lean meat ice water
I think I will change my weight to that amount lost
