Hope everyone had a happy thanksgiving. I sure did. Iris spent last night at a friends house. And tonight she is spending the night with the friends we had dinner with. It was a blast. I'm tired from making pies. I never knew baking pies would put 2 miles of steps on my Fitbit!!!!! I am at most 6 steps at the farthest in my kitchen......... How and where did those 2 miles get there? I will take them gladly but I'm completely baffled.........

Morning misfit losers! Happy Friday!
I hope you all had a great day yesterday with family, friends, and food! I had meat and veggies, but also enjoyed pie. Luckily, there is no more left in the house, so I don't feel compelled to finish it off! That's a good thing.
Make it a great day, losers!

We had a nice Thanksgiving and I didn't overdo, I ate alittle bit of everything I wanted and a small brownie. I had a pie here, but everyone was full. Sarah took a bunch of leftovers, and I encouraged her to take plenty. My son also came over, so I was pleased we all got together. I'm not planning on doing the big shopping thing today, but I do need to go to the store for some odds and ends. I will check in later, have a great day.Janice0

Good Sunday Mornung, Losers!
I've really enjoyed a relaxing week off from all the hustle and bustle. Yesterday, we visited my uncle who lives about an hour and forty min. from us. It required driving on 285 which is the most dangerous highway in the US. I enjoyed our visit and was so glad to be safely home.
I weighed this morning and stayed the same this week so I am pleased with that.
The weather has been glorious, upper 60s and even low 70s.
Today woke up to cloudy skies. Looks like rain may be heading our way.
Do any of you plan to buy anything on cyber monday??
Thankful for each of you!

Hello Misfits,
We got back today from our trip to Michigan with family and friends. I say family because our friend's
daughter, husband and kids are like family to us. Our first stop on the trip was Frankenmuth, MI
or Christmas town as I call it. The Bronner's Winter Wonderland was amazing and very big. Very
overwhelming when you first see it. We did our shopping there and then some shopping in the
downtown area. Our dinner was at a German Bavarian restaurant, lots of food, kind of too much.
Then stayed overnight and continued on to Coldwater, MI where we had our Thanksgiving dinner
with family and friends. A little shopping that night and then home to the hotel. I was up at 4:30 am
to first do my meditation and then get ready for the shop until you drop day. We stopped at Biggsbee
for coffee and like every year the manager takes our picture and it is on their web site. We dressed up
this year with deer antlers and Christmas tops, there were 4 of us going shopping. We did 12 hours
of shopping and then back to Kerrie's for pizza and we all watched a movie. Got up the next morning
and had breakfast and started back to our friend's house and stayed overnight and then got up
and headed home. We are tired and laundry is already starting.
I hope everyone had a wonderful day with family and friends.
Oh, and my grandson, Isaac is crawling. My daughter sent a video of him crawling on the floor.
So darn cute!

I went hiking today with the hubby and Iris. We found the perfect Christmas tree. It is a 7 foot bull pine. It was a tough hike through the brush and trees and spongy moss but I did t anyway. We had a great time. Will try to post a pic later.
Esther0 -
hi everyone!!
hope you are well! it was a good holiday week, I say week because the kids have been off school since Tuesday! I survived the holiday but definitely had a splurge last night. what is our next challenge going to be? should we just extend thanksgiving to new years? and do easter all over again? we need someone to light some fire under us:)
stephanie0 -

Have a good night losers!

Good morning, losers! Happy Tuesday and Happy December!
It's good to see so many of you posting, and I hope you continue to do so as we are in a very stressful time of the year. This year has certainly gone by quickly. I have been truly blessed so I will keep that in my mind rather than focus on any negative that so often crops up more often than not.
Make it a great day, misfits!
Connie0 -

Good morning misfits,
Yes this year has flown by. I need to get my Christmas plan together.
It has been a stressful year in some respects but have been blessed in so many ways.
My weight is certainly not where I expected it to be as I am about where I started in January. Hope to have better results next year.
Have a good day.
Nancy0 -
Connie we are all thankful to have you as a mindful eater and what it can ocomplish you are a natural born leader.. I think Barbie used that as her word for 2015. I think we can all used that word for 2016.
Mindful eater Will try to used it everday marie

Now back to normal after my week in Michigan. I just finished 30 min on my turbo trainer bicycling.
I still have to practice my choir music, I can't believe I have 3 rehearsals before the Christmas concert.
Where did the time go. I have practice tonight so I will just do one song I am weak on. I don't like
not being prepared.
I was talking to Dave this morning about so much has to be done before Christmas I was stressing
myself out. Thank goodness for my TM ( meditation) it has really got me to settle down more
and not run around all day like I usually do. Twenty mins., in the morning and 20 mins in the afternoon.
I had a chiropractic apt this morning and was talking about how much has to be done until I talked
to the receptionist. She has her MIL in the hospital with a broken hip and her son in the hospital
waiting for his second back surgery and waiting for a bed in the hospital. That really made me shut
up and realize how fortunate I am to not have serious troubles like many other people.
We have to be grateful for what we have.

Good morning, losers! Happy Wednesday!
Marie...I know you're glad the rain has stopped.
Shirley..I try to remember how fortunate I am too..especially when I get depressed about my weight.
It was good to get back to the gym today after a week off. I really did not want to go, but once I got there, I was okay. Planning on continuing with the purge today. The attic is done and I have started packing things in boxes. The new house is being bricked now and hopefully they will finish that by the end of the week.
Make it a great day, misfits!
Connie0 -
Hi to everyone,
Wow, Connie sounds like the new house is coming along very well.
I agree with you and Shirley that We are so blessed. If I spend too much time
thinking about my weight it will get me depressed. This time of the year makes
it difficult to stay on track.
I am totally at a loss as what to do to get this weight off. I increased my calorie
intake from 1200 to 1400 for a time to reset things but I ended up gaining on 1400.
Then I went to a 1000 cals and nothing happened!!!! Now I am just in limbo trying
to decide where to go next.
My bike is still at the bike shop being repaired, they had to order a part. Been there over 2 weeks already.
Marie, Hope you can stay warm. Did you get your heating system working.
Nancy0 -
Good afternoon misfits, I haven't been up to alot lately, just staying close to home. Its been cold, dreary, and rainy. Rain finally stopped and tonight we're suppose to have flurries with a high the next 2 days mid 40's. The weekend is suppose to be nicer here. I haven't been to the nursing home since last week, I may go later today. Sometimes it seems like she would rather be sleeping than getting visitors, they keep her pretty medicated and thats the way she wants it. I would really like to see some results again, hopefully I will start losing soon. Maybe I can see a couple of pounds loss before New Years. Atleast I am down for this year 10 pounds and have kept my 56 pounds off. I am only off 2 pounds from lowest weight this year and I only touched it twice, it didn't really stick. I am very thankful for everyones support. Janice0

I just lost my post so I will try again.
Janice- you are doing a great job with your weight loss and have stayed steady all these years.
Nancy- I am also doing the 1400 calorie plan and I have been up and down like a yo yo for months now.
Connie - Your house is humming along. I guess Christmas will be in the old house for now.
How exciting!
My hubby is painting the downstairs and we are on our second try at the color. Our capeting is all in
now so we are painting to match everything now. Our accent wall and entrance way will be painted
after the holidays since we have to peel wallpaper and paint. The last time we painted it took
us 4 times to get the right color.
I had yoga class today and a visit with my MIL. Now to clean up the playpen and highchair for
Isaac when he comes on Friday.
Shirley0 -
Our house is nice and warm. we will just have to wait and see how it play out. The wind is really blowing today.
Shirley Isaac will probe want to be cowling all over the place. Instead of the play pen. I know you will enjoy him.
my new great grandson could come anytime says the doctor. but due the last of Dec. A tax writeoff??.His name is going to be Ramson Charles.Be glad when the little boogie gets here.But he could come for Christmas dinner at his Mimi house. Alice and Kathy is both peparing food for Christmas. I get off the hook. I may make a Watergate salad.. It is so good.
Making Spanish rice for dinner tonigt.
love Marie0 -
@CALIECAT ..what is Watergate salad? That's a great name for your new grand. My dad's name was Charles and my son is named after him. Glad your house is warm today.

I am just grateful to have lost overall!

Hi guys. Our only holiday preparation here is we did go out and get our tree on Sunday. It is sitting in a bucket on the front porch until I have time to clear a spot in the living room for the train that goes under it. In my house all holiday preparations are on hold until after Nutcracker. It will be all over on Sunday. Thank God!!!!!!!! Although the powers that be have been profusely thanking my friend and me for all the work we have done. Not to toot my own horn but the thing would be a disaster without the countless hours of insane parents. And sadly I am one of the insane ones. But I do it for the kids. And for me that is all that matters. It gives the kids so much confidence and poise. Well. I'm drained physically and mentally. So I am going to sign off for now. Will post later when I get my head screwed on straight again
