Great seeing Ray posting Hi Ray.
I am still on the plant base diet.With a little variegation on it/ eating more potatoes At least one a day with a nice green vegie This Dr. John Mcdougall High starch diet.. high in carbs too. I thought it would be too rough for me on my blood sugar. But just the opposite Its been running real good. I added rice cakes as a snack today. I have steel cut oats in the morning Lunch...... Beans soups with lot of veggies...... Dinner baked Sweet potato (a big one)with cinnamon on it or a White potatoes with a good veggies. Will see how I am doing on it in a week.
Nancy My prayers is with you and Ben.

Morning, losers! Happy Wednesday!
Finally back to regular schedule and off to the gym this morning. Brrrrr...it is cold..but I am thankful to see another day so no complaints from me. Plus, I am down .04 this morning and will take it!
I know many of you will be getting snow this week and I will see rain in my area...be careful out there, friends!
Marie..your plant based menu sounds like it's good for your sugar levels and that's the best news ever!
Nancy..hope you and Ben had a peaceful night.
Steph..I ordered the veggitti from Amazon and will get it today. I am so excited about having some zoodles with sauce. Gonna look for some low carb/sugar tomatoe or marinara sauce.
Ray..so glad to see you! Congrats on the new job!
Make it a great day, losers, and stay the course!

Are you all seeing a post from Ray? All I see. Is the kitty cat but glad to see that.Connie I am down 1 oz this morning. Let's see how many days I will be on that. At least no gain.

hi all,
connie, so excited for you to get the vegetti, I love it. when we were in mexico, my daughter and I had the best cucumber salad that was spiralized and I think it had some sort of rice vinegar and black sesame seeds on it. I keep threatening to recreate it but it just has been talk so far:) I actually feel great today, I was so satisfied with that dinner. there was no picking for me. I think the key is to keep it interesting.
marie, good for you with the plant based diet. it sounds uber healthy, not sure I could do that now....I am enjoying my animal protein. can you eat eggs on it?
it is finals week for my daughter so I am at her mercy....going to lift and take her to lunch! also, have an ant problem in kids bathroom...calling the exterminator!!
Stephanie0 -
Good morning misfits,
Feeling rested and ready for a great day.
The veggitti sounds very interesting. I will be checking it out.
No big plans today, just my usual routine.
Connie, congrats on another loss, way to go!
Nancy0 -
Nancy, I'm sorry to see you all are dealing with a rough situation. I hope everything goes well and you all are able to keep comfortable and positive, and see good results.
Hi, Marie! I'm glad you're still enjoying your plant based diet. I really need to get on board with dedication like yours. I'm such a snacker.
Connie, another loss on the scale! You go!!
I got a version of a vegetti and all it did was juice my zucchini. 
I'd like to get one of those crank/automatic ones. I hope yours works well!
Janice, I have a 40 minute drive to work in normal weather, so I'll be giving myself an hour and a half to get to work. They changed training from Monday to this Friday, so I'll be driving in that sleet and snow. Not looking forward to that. I'm hoping drivers will get their bearings with the snow by then so that I won't have to deal with too many crazy people on the road come Friday morning. And here's hoping it melts by Monday, haha!
Stephanie, my lbs. sure do love me! They always come back to visit.

I didn't go on MFP yesterday, I was having all sorts of problems getting on. I think our internet was the
problem so I had to catch up on 20 posts here today. Whew!
Everyone seems to be doing good, keep warm for you who have snow, we did this week and a little
more tomorrow. It has been so cold!
I started back at choir last night and froze just driving there. Hard to go out now when practice
starts at 8PM and I want to stay home and keep warm. I had to hand in my music from the Christmas
concert and we got more for the Spring concert. More songs to learn, but its fun.
Our little Isaac is standing by himself now, Kathy just sent us a picture on email. He is so proud
of himself. Only a matter of time when he takes that first step. We are going to see him again
Feb. 1st. We hope to take some pictures, of course.
I finished cleaning the downstairs today and had Yoga class this morning. Now to watch some
TV, have a good evening.
Marie- congratulations be being a great grandmother.

hi everyone,
nancy I am so happy you had a good night! I hope that continues for you!
connie, I love my vegetti. I have had no issues for it except I get tired of twisting sometimes. there is a grocery store by my house that sells the zoodles and also sells shaved brussel sprouts which I love roasted.
Rachel, so glad you came back. what are you doing at your new job?
Shirley, that is very exciting about Isaac.
I made another favorite tonight, tacos. a lot of ground turkey this week. connie, I bet you could eat this on your plan. for me, I threw a bunch of spinach on a plate and topped with chopped tomatoes, cucumber, scallions, ground turkey, avocado and salsa. I also mixed up some plain greek yogurt with a little garlic salt and pepper to make a sour cream. so good and low carb.
hope everyone is well!! it got a little warmer here today and the pooch seems to feel better!
stephanie0 -
It snowed overnight we got around 4 inches, tomorrow night we are getting freezing rain then a bunch of snow. My husband, Sonny was off today, we just hung out. I made stuffed peppers while he shoveled our big driveway. The peppers were really good.
Stephanie-I cook with ground turkey alot, tacos, meatloaf, casseroles, recently I have bought more ground beef.
Shirley-It sounds exciting to have a new grandbaby, with my daughter only having 1 child, and her fiance having only 1child, I think after they are married she may have anotber baby, if she dont thats okay, I know she works alot. Keep warm. Janice

What happened to 1/21/16 Am in love he fi st one on this morning?
marie0 -
Morning
Hubby and I went for a walk at the hocky arena this morning alot of seniors go there, I don't know why
I didn't think of that earlier this winter.
Dave started taking some of the wallpaper in our front entrance and is patching some spots and will paint the entrance way. Then the next step will be the large wall that goes downstairs. He said he will rent a steamer to take it off, it was quite a job taking down that little bit.
I have no special plans today I may go out later and get some shampoo.
I found a recipe on Pinterest for raspberry muffins made with greet yogurt and is only 180 calories
for one. I think I will try it tomorrrow. My oldest daughter and her boyfriend are coming for the
weekend.
Have a good morning everyone.
Shirley0 -
Good morning, losers! Happy Thursday!
Late again but wanted to get out to the store early.
Shirley...I used to have wall paper and it gave my husband and I fits taking it down even with the steamer. After doing it in two bathrooms, my hubs refused to do the kitchen. Luckily, I found someone who would remove it and paint so I was happy. When they did it, it took only minutes to get it off!
Steph..that meal sounds great. Still waiting on my vegetti..Amazon is usually right on time but not this week. I hope to get it today.
Janice..I'm still waiting for the first grandbaby. I know they are trying so I don't nag them about it.
Gonna continue purging today and will also make a spinach crustless quiche.
Give it your all today, losers!
If not now, when?

marie0 -
Good morning,
Looks like a day to stay inside, rain, storms and then some snow tomorrow!!!
I have plenty of inside work to keep me busy for a long time.
Sounds like everyone is doing well.
Have a great day.
Nancy0 -
Marie-Congratulations on your 4lb loss so far this month. You are doing great sticking to your plan. If you are happy eating the same things and its working for you, thats great.
Connie-I have 5 grandchildren and 2 more from marriage, but technically 3, from my children. Hopefully you will get a grandbaby soon.
Shirley-I have never ate any greek yogurt, not a huge fan of yogurt, but the muffins sound interesting. I have been wanting some brownies, but I haven't done it yet.
We are suppose to get 6-12 inches of snow tomorrow, with some ice first. I might get out today and pick up a couple more things, its not mandatory, but I haven't gotten out since Monday and probably wont this weekend if we get all that snow. I am trying to figure out what I want to cook for supper, not sure what I am in the mood for.
I will check in later, have a good day. Janice0 -
Stephanie, I will be testing used electronics, mainly phones, to see what their issues seem to be, and then grading them to be sent to the team that repairs/refurbishes them for resale.
I'm really, really, really hoping they reschedule my first day at work, I'm afraid I'll lose my job because of ice and snow. The weather lady keeps using the word "impossible" to describe tomorrow's road conditions. I also hope school is cancelled tomorrow night. Ugh, I absolutely hate icy weather. It's amazing how hard it impacts our daily lives.
Marie, nice job losing!!
Connie, I hope your vegetti comes today!
I have a ton of homework to complete today, and I may venture out for some milk later. My bedtime is 9:30 tonight so hopefully I'll get decent sleep before tackling the roads in the morning.
Stay warm everyone!

Hello Ray ho are you today.?0

Hi guys. Sorry I have been quiet again. Been crazy busy as usual. Hubby and I are south again...... I see the knee doc tomorrow morning while the hubby gets "violated". He is getting a colonoscopy while I see my doc. Let's hope all is normal for him. His dad had colon cancer twice and several of his uncles and cousins had it as well. We spent today shopping. Got everything but one item on the list. Okay the list only had 6 things on it but one item was 5 matching little black skirts for the ballet studio. And another item was water shoes for me to wear with my dry suit. Luckily both of those items were on clearance!!!! I'm done with my dinner so I guess I will go back to hubby and laugh at him in the bathroom. I over did the calories today but that's ok. I don't normally have 2 maple bars and a cinnamon roll and a milkshake in one day. However they were DELICIOUS!!!!!!! I feel no guilt or shame in indulging like I did.

Good morning Misfit
Hello Esther. Good seeing you this morning.
Just been to the Senior Sneakers group and one of the girl lost her little dog to cancer yesterday. So sad.
Me I am doing find remain the same this morning. But blood sugar and blood pressure Is great. So can.t complain. Hope this fine you all doing great let's see today is grocer shopping day willbechecking there veggies over good thi week I foun out I like Collar greens. I was raise up thinking there was just corn. Peas beans and potatoes. We had potatoes of some kind every night.mostl fried. See you later
marie0 -
Good morning, losers! Happy Friday!
Marie..glad your levels are down this morning! Enjoy your shopping.
Ray..hope you made it to work this morning or better than that, they rescheduled your first day.
Janice..did you get everything before the snow?
Nancy..we have the rain, wind, and cold today.
Ruthie, Steph, Esther, Shirley....hope you are doing well.
I went to the gym for training then got in the pool for 45 minutes. After that, I went to the store for a few things. I am finished and in for the day. Still do not have my vegetti yet. This is so unusual for Amazon. The tracking says it's on the way and is supposed to be delivered by US postal service...that's probably the problem as UPS is usually better. Anyway, I have the zucchini and am ready to make the zoodles!
Make it a great day! I hope all of you have a safe weekend!
Connie0 -
Good morning misfits,
Still waiting to see snow, don't think it is going to happen!!!
Connie, I am anxious to hear how you like the Veggitti. I need something to make
me enjoy veggies more.
I will probably stay it today as it is cold. Still have house cleaning to do.
Have a great day.
Nancy0 -
I did get out and picked up some things I needed. I also went in our Goodwill and I got a brand new pair of dress pants, that still had a price tag for $40.00 on them for 3.99, a pair of New Balance tennis shoes that look like new for 3.99 and a couple of short sleeve shirts. I put new insoles pads in the tennis shoes, they were not in them. I always put what I buy in the washer immediately. Not the shoes. Plus I went to Big Lots and found wrapping paper 25 cents a roll, and ornaments 90% off. It was a bargain day. We have not gotten to much snow yet, it started late around 9:00 today, we are still suppose to get 4-8 inches. Its not suppose to stop until after 8 tonight. Gotta run. Janice0

I* am a bit confused on Rachel you all sound like you are reading her but all I get is the cat no posting at all? I don't see anything that she post. tell me i am not crazy.
Marie0 -
Marie - I guess Rachael's post is not showing for you for some reason.
I can't believe you lost 4 pounds, that is fabulous. Your plan must be working for you, keep up the good
work. I have been snacking after dinner lately which makes for the .02 pound gain this week. I have to
get back to drinking tea at night again. Just a thought, try baking your potatoes or boiling them, that will
shave off a few calories instead of frying.
Esther- Colonoscopies are no fun, since your hubby has it in the family I am assuming he goes more
than every 10 years. The prep is much worse than the procedure.
Ray - I am not fond of ice roads or wintry roads of any kind. I hope you had a safe drive.
Janice - Not a lot people like yogurt. I can't eat plain yogurt on its own, but when it is mixed with
fruit or in something like a smoothie its really good. Just a thought about the tennis shoes you got
from the Goodwill, I would wash them too. Some people have fungal foot problems, you don't
want to catch that.
Connie - I hope you get your veggitti, there is a storm brewing over Washington, DC and Maryland
maybe that's why its late getting to you. As far as waiting for grand kids, we waited a long time too and
I was giving up having any and then one day the good news came. Same thing will happen to you.
My oldest is 34 and will be 35 and she is not married yet. So not sure what will happen in the future.
You know what they say, is all about patience.
Have fun today!
Shirley0 -

Good morning, losers! Happy Saturday!
Snow showers outside my window this morning! It's not sticking as it is 32 degrees and the ground is too warm. Hope all of you are safe and warm. It's a great day for something in a crockpot. I am going to do another crustless quiche today and have a side salad with it. My veggitti is still MIA!
Hope my zucchini does not go bad before it comes!
Stay strong--bad weather makes us want to graze in the kitchen all day!
Connie0 -
Hi everybody. Saw the doc about a knee yesterday. Guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE SAID AS SOON AS I HIT 225 I GET MY NEW KNEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nope I'm not happy as you can tell Finally the day has come. This is what I have been fighting so hard to get for 10 years. It is a dream come true. I go back to see him in June. I will be at 225 if I have to starve myself to do it. But it will happen 0 -
Esther we will be rooting for you. Stayed out of that moonshine...................................
Marie0 -
Yes, it is so cold today and a fine day to stay inside. Can't decide what I want to do.
Not in the mood to cook.
Esther, You can get to 225 by June without a doubt. You have what it takes to get there!!!
Hope you stay warm and safe.
