@JLoRuthie...I love it, too, Ruthie! I wish I could take credit for it, and I wish I would have asked myself that question 30 years ago.0

Did go to the eye doctor. and all was well go back in May and he may release me. to go back to a local eye doctor.. The one I went to today is a specialist . Jerry and i had a terrible time getting home from North Dallas. since my eyes was dilated i could not help jerry to the roads we needed, Not much help even without being dilated Can;t read the street signs till we get right up on them then to late to tell Jerry what lane to get in. Jerry absolutely goes blank on driving on the unknown or been awhile since we been there.neither one of us knew much about North Dallas. But we made it home.
"
If Not Now Then When" it gotta be me Now. no more when about it. Doing real good on the plant base diet this month.

Marie - congrats on the diet it seems to be working. Stick with it until your next doctor apt. and see
there are any changes and good results. Good luck.
Cold here too, icy roads and snow and more snow coming. Winter is finally here!
Going to see Isaac, my grandson tomorrow. Can't wait to hold him, although he is crawling like
crazy and wants to get going.

We are suppose to get more snow overnight and into tomorrow. The sun did come out here and I went to the grocery and picked up some medicine for my husband. I bought some treats Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches, they are great and only 150 calories. This was the first time I have tried them. I stayed under calories today and I need to get back to that everyday. If not now then when, I have came to far to not continue on this year and lose the rest of my weight. Good luck everyone on continued success. Janice0

Good morning, losers! Happy Tuesday!
Marie..glad you had a good report and that you guys made it home. I can imagine all that traffic in Dallas!
Shirley..do you have to travel far to see the baby?
Janice..I love those ice cream sandwiches! Just can't have them in the house anymore. Yes, you have come too far and worked too hard not to finish what you started.
I am still bouncing between 215-216 and trying to be patient as I have been here for well over a month. I have been going over my diary to see what I need to change. My goal is to be under 200 by summer. On a positive note, the old jeans I can wear now are ones I wore when I weighed around 185-190, so I am shrinking and what I am doing is working. Glad I did not get rid of those jeans!
No pity pot parties for us, ladies!
If not now, when?

I think we have found our mantra for the year (forever?). If not now, when?
I tell myself that throughout the day and it helps keep me on track.
It is another cold and sunny morning. I'm a little jealous by the snow some of you are getting.
Marie, that must have been terrifying to be lost in a big city like that. I always feel badly for people who have to drive through Atlanta. I live here and don't like driving in and around the city.
Anyone playing the 1.4B lottery tomorrow? Can you believe that number??
I really like your house Connie. It is beautiful. We are either going to be buying a house or renovating the one we are in the next 2.5 months. I decided yesterday to get on the purge bandwagon. Whether we move or renovate, having less stuff will make both much easier.
Enjoy the baby today Shirley!!
Janice, our target had some of the chocolates on sale so I bought a few boxes and have one in the afternoons. Although, I think they might have upset my stomach so I haven't eaten any the last few days. Have you been ok eating the ice cream sandwiches? I have had issues before with "healthy" snacks like those from WW. There must be an ingredient I can't handle.
Well, gotta get busy!
Ruthie0 -
Ruthie-The sun came thru, but it was mainly flurries and has already melted from the sun. The cold front has came back and the temps are starting to drop. On the ice cream sandwiches, it didn't bother me, but I have only had one. We have been playing the powerball lately, what a jackpot, its up to 1.5 billion. We had 4 different people nearby in Ky, that won 50, 000 for 4 numbers matching from Satursays drawing. We only buy 1 or 2, to atleast have a chance.
Connie-It is nice to fit in our old jeans, that we hung on to for years. I have gotten rid of so many things that I wish I hadn't over the years, but its hard keeping all of them. When I did finally fit into some jeans I kept, I really didn't like how they fit, so I finally got rid of them. The good thing about it is, being smaller I have more options of jeans and can be pickier on how they look and feel, and not settle just because they fit and need some jeans. When I was real heavy that happened alot, just because I needed clothes that fit. That is such a good feeling buying things that I really like and fit good. That was a part of why I wanted to lose weight. I need to remember that.
Marie-Glad you and Jerrry made it home safe, and to hear you got good news from your eye doctor.Where are you today? I hope your feeling okay.
Gotta go, everyone try to keep warm. Janice

Brrr, freezing my buns off here. Haha. I got to go out and "enjoy" the roads this morning, they were actually really clean, it was nice. On my way home I had to drive through poor visibility with heavy wind a big snowflakes. Luckily the snow seems to be melting at home though. Ever since I wrecked on black ice several years ago, driving in winter weather is very stressful for me. I have no choice these days though, with school being an hour away due to traffic. And I had an interview this morning, so I may be adding a M-F job to my travel schedule, too.
Those Skinny Cow ice creams are good, Kroger had them on sale last time I was there.
Think I'll go turn the heat up so all my kitties don't freeze! Stay warm, everybody!
-Rachel0 -
Rachel-I hate driving in bad weather, it stresses me out, too. Luckily I don't have to anymore since I am not working outside of the house. I forgot where you moved to, are you liking your new house? We are just getting this really cold and snowy weather, it could last till April. I have had the dog in the garage most of the day with the heat on, he already sleeps all night there in the winter, its just to cold out, especially with no other dog to snuggle with. Good to hear from you, gotta go. Janice0
-
hi everyone,
it is so cold here, my dog doesn't want to go out:( his poor little paws are freezing and hurt so much when the salt gets in his paw pads. I would like to get in bed and stay there all day, something I don't think I have ever done except when sick.
Rachel so good to see you!! hope you are doing well!
Connie, I am so happy you are able to fit into your skinny jeans, that is a great accomplishment. it really doesn't matter how much you way, I have learned you can way more and be leaner than when you weighed less. I actually had my numbers done today which I have never done before. my body fat percentage was actually really good for me at 22.4%, the rest of my numbers such as my bmi , skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass were all in the normal range which is good news, even if they were toward the higher end of normal.
I am still up a couple lbs and trying to desperately control my picking while in the kitchen. I am going to try and get in bed early tonight so I can get 7 hours of sleep. I think that helps as well.
have a good night ladies.
stephanie0 -
Good morning, losers! Happy Wednesday!
I am going to the gym this morning and will come back to chat a little later.
Hope you all are doing well despite the cold.
Stay strong!
Connie0 -
Good morning ladies,
Another beautiful cold morning.
Not much going on with me today. Need to go to Kroger for a few things and then get my exercise in for today.
Hope it's a great day for you.
Nancy0 -

No money for me no numbers matching, thats okay there's always Saturday. I went to the nursing home today, and went to Walmart to get my husband some new sweatshirts for work. I can't wait for spring, I hate cold weather. Janice0
-
Good morning, losers! Happy Thursday!
Janice...how is your sister doing? You are so right about those old jeans. Although I can wear them, I am not crazy about them anymore.
Marie..how were the beans?
Steph..hope you got some sleep!
Nancy..it's been cold but beautiful here, too.
I am down a pound this morning and will gladly take it!
Make it a great day losers!
If not now, when?
Connie0 -
good morning ladies!
hope everyone is braving the cold, it is actually getting warmer here today and I can probably walk the poor pooch. I feel so bad for his little paw pads:(
I am having my sister for dinner tonight and think I will just make a big salad, steaks, potatoes and veggies. sounds easy enough and everyone will eat it which is always challenging!
Janice, hope your sister is hanging in there.
connie, great news about the lb. my extra lbs seem to like me too much to go away, lol! it has been a week on plan but not much change. I did get a great night sleep last night!
marie, shirly, nancy, and ruthie, have a great day and stay on plan!
valentines day is around the corner and I have set a mini goal for then!
stephanie0 -
Good morning ladies,
Congrats to Connie!!! You are doing so good, it's amazing that you have stayed the course under the stress of building your house!!!
Steph, I understand the pounds not wanting to leave!!! Mine just love hanging around but they gotta go!!!!
Marie, Hope you have your beans ready for today. Glad you are happy with this plan.
Ruthie, Guess you want get to pick up your $1.5 billion!!! What a bummer!!! I must admit I was very disappointed too!!!
Shirley, Your little guy is growing up fast. I know he is a joy to your family.
Janice, Hope your sister will improve soon. I know you are weary seeing her in this state for so long and spring will be here before long.
Have a great day.
Nancy0 -
Hi guys. Can I warn you all up a little? It is 45 here in southeast Alaska today. We have had a week of rain which is ok because I don't have to shovel it.
Steph.........have you thought about booties for your dog? There are fairly inexpensive ones out there. It is kind of like a baby bootie that velcros around the ankle. It protects the feet from the ice and rough ground.
It has been fairly nice here weather wise. We had a week of 20-30 degree weather which is nice. Not super cold. Then it warmed up and rained. We had a big wind storm here the last couple days. That's when my dog hates to go out. When the door opens and the wind blows his ears back and he is still in the house he tries to turn and run but I am quick enough to put a foot behind him and nudge him out.
Esther0 -
Thanks everyone for asking. My sister is bedridden and wears diapers, its awful. She is on pallative care, where they just try to keep her comfortable. They don't give her any physical therapy and haven't since she broke her hip and the same time she was switch to trying to get medicare, from the insurance running out and was put on the pallative care. I found out that they dont do physical theraphy on people on that. All is connected. I need to find out more she needs therapy, especially after a broken hip, I found this out yesterday.
It is getting to 55%, its already 49. Its been alot colder lately. Maybe me and the dog will go for a walk.
Connie-Congrats on the loss, my weight has been flucuating, still up since mid December and new scale ordeal.
Steph-I think my weight likes me too much, to leave to, lately, something better kick in, I saw swimwear out already yesterday, that makes you think.
Atleast 3 people get to split the powerball jackpot, 3 people in Ky had 5 numbers and get a million.
Gotta run, Janice.

Janice, I think you mean they gave switched your sister to the state Medicaid plan since that is the one that pays or residential care. The Medicare is the one that pays for therapy, at least that is the way it was with my father in law. You could talk to the social worker at the home and see what she says. Hope you can find out more. billieann0

It got up to 60 degrees here, I walked the dog alot, I have over 11,000 steps in so far today.Tomorrow its suppose to rain and turn real cold again over the weekend, so glad we got a nice day. The dog liked it too, even though he has run of the yard and garage. I made a meatloaf and green beans, and also have some chicken cooking in the crockpot, to do something with later. Gotta run.

Evening,
We had a great time with Isaac the last two days. He is making faces now, thinks he's funny, and
is interacting more with us. So cute! We gave Kathy her birthday massage gift card and she was
thrilled. It was for a hot stone massage but she can change it if she wants. It really snowed while
we were there and Dave got out the snow blower and did the driveway. It's -3C today.
I took chili and salad with us for dinner but Wednesday after leaving and going to the Toronto Boat
Show eating was not as good. I am trying today to stay on track because tomorrow is weigh in day.
I did 47 mins of Leslie Sasone HIIT today so hopefully I sweat some off.
We did buy one of the Powerball tickets but alas we did not win. Today was haircut day and
found out my general doctor had a detached retina and was off work for 10 days and had surgery......
Always get the latest news from the hairdresser.
Connie - About a 2 hr and 15 min drive. to see Isaac. Not close but not in another Province anyway. The weather was not the greatest.
I can't have those ice cream bars in the house either, too much temptation.

Good morning, losers! Happy Friday!
Shirley..that sounds like quick little trip when the weather is nice and so worth it to see the grandbaby.
Janice..we had warm weather yesterday, too, and expect rain today as well. I very rarely get 10,000 steps on any given day, but I am getting closer. On pool days is when I get the most. When we move, I will have access to walking trails so I'm hoping that will improve my mileage.
Nancy..there are days when I am almost driven to the brink of doing some serious cheating because of stress. I just refuse to be sucked into doing it.
Steph..how was dinner?
Esther/Ruthie..hello!!!
I am going to the gym this morning but not sure what else since it will be raining.
Make it a great day, losers! Stay the course!
Connie0 -
hi all,
connie, dinner was actually great, thanks for asking! I have really developed a love for shredded brussel sprouts roasted with a little seasoning on them. I am also happy eating steak! it was nice to see my sister and I think she enjoyed herself. I was going to make a desert but decided against it as I always take a little, and a little more, etc...until there is NO MORE!
I am going to the trainer this morning. I really have been so tired this week, I am looking forward to sunday as it is officially my day of rest! I am also going to try and stick to plan this weekend because I finally can!
have a great day everyone!
