@janiceclark08 The movers will move anything I have packed and sealed. If they pack up the stuff, it is super expensive because they charge by the hour AND we pay for the boxes. I am going to have as much stuff packed that I can on moving day. That way, they can carry it out, put it on the truck, and move it to the new house to put in the right room. My husband is only concerned with them moving furniture. He keeps saying that he can just throw the other stuff (packed boxes) on his truck and take it over. Does he have ANY idea how much work that is? I am like you, Janice, I want it done quickly...not dragging it out by slowly bringing boxes to the new house day after day. So I have my work cut out for me.

Connie-I am glad they move anything you have packed, I didn't mean them to pack, just to move it.Hopefully he will change his mind and decide he will do it your way and get it done all at once. Goodluck either way, remind him you still need to have energy to put all the stuff in the right place. I don't mean to be in your business, don't take any of this wrong. Janice0

LOL...I am grateful I can come here to rant about this and you are so kind and patient to read, ask questions, and give wonderful advice! I have told him that I am not going to hurt or kill myself lifting and carrying boxes, and I don't want him to either...but he is hardheaded! 0 -
Hi Gang. I was absent yesterday because I was busy working in a quilt for my cousin for his wedding and cleaning the house up. And making a pie. We had company come for dinner last night. It was a captain from the ferries where my hubby works. For some reason the captains have sweet teeth. We had pan fried prawns (freshly vacuum packed and frozen October last year) salad and freshly frozen blueberry pie.
The sinus infection is clearing slowly. They are really hitting it hard with the Zithromax. I am taking 9 days of the stuff. It is really hard to swim with the sore ears and the nasal drainage. Just got done with the ct scan. Hope is shows that it really is all in my head. I have been saying that for years. Hope I can prove it finally.

Hi ladies,
Glad to report I am down 2 pounds for January.
Another stressful day for us, Ben's incision popped open this morning and we had to go back to the surgeon and of course it will have to heal now by granulating in!!! Surgery was Dec. 10th.
3rd chemo treatment tomorrow.
Marie, I am amazed at your progress!!!
You have found your plan for sure.
Connie, It's hard enough just packing the boxes,
please let the strong men take care of the rest and in the end your hubby will be grateful.

Good morning, losers! Happy Tuesday!
Marie..congrats on the NSV! That is amazing! I am reading bits and pieces about your plan. Sounds like a good one.
Nancy...congrats to you, too! You have been under a lot of stress and have managed to stay on your plan and lose!
Shirley..do you have rain/snow heading your way?
It's cloudy today with rain coming tomorrow. I will start some physical therapy for my knee Webnesday. I asked my orthopedist to refer me for therapy as a surgery option and she did. It has been feeling really good lately so I hope the therapy will not aggravate it. Will be doing some packing today. I have a plan to get some done everyday so there will be very little left when the actual moving day comes.
Make it a great day, losers!

Connie this plan is entirely difference from what i was raise up to believe in Not saying the old way does work but It was not working for me the mainest thing was i was not satisfied with my meals which made me snack on thing that was fattening What i am trying to say the tradition diets I did not fail the diets the diet fail me For it was not giving me the right hunger buster food to satisfy me After being on this plan for a month without any cheating or desire to cheat, My hunger buster plan is a success I know now I can eat steel cuts oat or old fashion oats with a few raisin , and I want gain any weigh mostly for lunch i have baked sweet potato or some kind white potato with a salad or a green veggies For dinner its the same except I try to have along with my tater another starch veggies like corn There are other starches food I can have But I am not really fond of rice Brown or other wise I love my taters there are so many ways you can fix potatoes But will try some of the others starches just to change things up some I bought me one of those Choppers where you put your veggies in a tray pull the top down and chopped your veggies real nice and in uniform size I got it at Bed bath and beyond While we was there I got me another pair of tweezerman tweezer I lost mine and they are really good for getting my whiskers off of my chinny chin What a job that has became the older i get So now my chin looks better No wild hair growing They are a little Pricy but worth
Today we go to the grocer store

@CALIECAT..you are soooooo funny!! I have one of those choppers and love it. It's so easy to chop everything. I have those tweezers, too and use them in between my monthly waxing at the salon! We women have to have a handle on the hair that grows where we don't want it!!
@slw19..glad you are back on the pony! We are galloping right beside you!

Good morning everyone,
Looks like some storms are headed our way and we will be out when it's supposed to get here.
Hope it's a productive day for you.
Nancy0 -
Good afternoon, we are suppose to get storms too, later today, its getting dark outside now. Not alot going on. I just wanted to check in. I am worried my diverticulitis maybe acting up, I had alittle bleed.
Nancy Sorry Ben's incision opened up, poor guy he is having a rough time. I hope chemo goes fast today and you make it home before the storm hits.
I hope everyone is good today. Janice0 -
Morning, misfits! Happy Wednesday!
Hope you all stayed safe in the rain or snow storm of yesterday. Rain storms are forecasted for my area today.
Just checking in before going to gym. Have a good one!
Connie0 -
Good morning,
We didn't get any bad weather, just a lot of rain.
Getting my bike exercise in for today.
Have a good day!!!
Nancy0 -
Good afternoon, we didnt have bad storms just rain, thank goodness. There were tornado watches alittle under us, but nothing happened. Its cooler today, I need to pick up a couple of things at the store. We made a pork loin last night, they are so good if not overcooked, temps should read140- 145 degrees, when you need take out of oven. They are very low in calories 4 oz. for 160, app.some are even lower. I have a ham in my other fridge I need to cook soon, I think its expiration is coming up soon. I will check back later.Janice

We were at Isaac's house Monday and Tuesday. He interacted with my MIL making faces and smiling at her all the time. He is showing off now for us, so cute. We went out for dinner at an Oyster Bar on
Monday night. I had clam chowder and fish tacos and we all shared raw oysters. My soup was delicious but the tacos were so so the rest was good. But...that night my stomach started hurting and I had bathroom issues. My IBS decided to act up after a few days of bathroom issues. I know, too much
information.
Feeling better today, I skipped Yoga because I had to get up so early and I was tired.
I went for a walk with hubby around the arena instead. Finished laundry today and now trying to catch
up on here.
Nancy - Sorry to hear about your DH and his incision. I hope the doctors got that cleared up for him.
Proud of you that you lost 2 pounds. You are on your way.
Connie - Wow, the reality of moving is hitting you. Lots to do but good that you have some time to
get the boxes to the new house without too much stress. Glad to hear with all going on you are still
exercising. Kudos!
Marie - You are doing fabulous on your new starch plan. You are going to beat me on weight pretty
soon. Nice NSV about the pants and blouse.
Janice- Be safe from the tornados if they do come to your area. Glad you had some time with your
sister.
Esther - Busy as ever and keep us informed on the results of your CT. May all go well with you.
Here is a picture of Isaac at story telling at the library. I was there to see how he interacted with
the kids.

Good morning, losers! Happy Thursday!
Marie..you have hit the jackpot on that plan! Yay you!!
Shirley..the baby is so cute and he looks like a happy one, too!
We did get a light tornado touch down yesterday afternoon but with no disaster to anyone or area. Thank God!
I went to my first appointment with a physical therapist yesterday. He took me through various exercises and manipulated my leg extensively. Turns out that if I had tears in my meniscus, I would have been crying out in pain from the movements he performed. Diagnosis?? My hamstrings and quads are so tight from exercise, that my knee cap (anterior patella) can not move up and down properly! Those muscles help support the knee cap and when tight and inflamed, the knee cap will not glide like it's supposed to. That is what is causing the pain! He took me through several stretching movements and stressed that I must stretch at least 3x a day and especially after exercise. Wow!! What a relief! It's strange...the orthopedist NEVER manipulated my leg in any of our visits...hmmmm. Tears showing on the MRI?? Not sure what that was about and will not spend time trying to analyze it.
Suffice it to say, I stretched several times yesterday and this morning and my knee feels good..not stiff or limping today. Also, I am happy to report a 1.4 loss this morning! Looks like I might make it to 199 by summer!
We are doing it this year, ladies!
Stay strong!
Connie

Down to 184.3 this morning. Can't believe the scales unreal for me. Pinch me I must be dreaming now looking forward to the 170's but I look the. Same in the mirrow but my clothes feel better. just prove I been eating the wrong food and I am loving all of these carbs Marie 0

read an interesting article this morning. That when these complex carbs enter our bodies they turn to sugar. I really knew that but has not made the connection with this plan.so my whole grain Old fashion oats I am really having this morning is a cinnamon roll with my coffee. No wonder i can stay on this plan. For lunch my beans will be a big piece of chocolate cake and veggies on the side. Don't get any better than this.
I am now down to 184.3 this morning. This weight lost is in high gear now. So not like me the hard to lose gal. my thoughts for today
Marie
1-31-16 .....195
2-4-16 .......184.3

stephanie0 -
Well i am shutting this down and going try to make a t-shirt dress for Kylee.

marie0 -
Wow!!! Great news losers!!!
Connie and Marie have a good thing going on.
So happy for them and everyone that has a loss.
Hoping we all can accomplish our goals this year.
Nancy0 -
MARIE - Yippee! you are now lower than I am. I have started a new online program called Brightline
eating. I have seen 3 videos so far and there is a food boot camp. My daughter Kristina and i are
doing it together. She is much smaller than me but I guess she thinks she needs to lose weight.
I have trouble with sugars and flour and this is supposed to help with that and cravings.
CONNIE - Fabulous news about your knee. I am like you and don't stretch like I should before and
after exercise. I do get my stretching through yoga but I guess I should be doing it more.
At least you know you can fix this and feel better, what good news! Yes....Isaac is a happy little man now.
NANCY - Yes....I am hoping to keep up the weight loss challenge too. Now I am trying to lose before
our vacation which will be in 2 weeks. At least I have my hubby out walking because he does no
exercise.
Today was walking around the arena, which they had a hockey game going on with the men, but it
didn't bother our walking around with little to no spectators.
My hubby took his mom to the oncologist for her 3 month check up and she is doing okay so far.
Her white count is going a bit at a time but not so much that medication needs to be given as yet.
Going to a restorative yoga class tonight at 5pm and then watching some TV tonight.
Shirley0 -
Good morning, losers! Happy Friday!
On my way to the gym and wanted to check in. Still holding my new low weight this morning and so excited about it. Knee is better...a little achy, but better than most mornings. Yesterday, I was able to walk up and down the stairs like an adult rather than like a toddler! Just gonna do training today and not the pool...don't want to overdo it. Plus, packing every day keeps me moving!
I hope all of you have a great day! We are off to a good start this year. Coming here to meet with you guys is a blessing for me because no one else "gets" the difficulty of staying on plan and getting to weight loss goals. Thanks, friends.
If not now, when?
Connie0 -

connie, you are killing it this year no one has been more determined and better at sticking to plan then you!! you keep this group humming:) so glad you are doing well!!
marie, ditto for the above!!
now it is time for me to strart losing again:)
love all of you guys!
stephanie0 -
Good morning ladies,
Connie, So happy you know what is wrong with your knee. We just have to be so proactive when dealing
with our body. We put so much faith in our doctors but sometimes the just get it wrong.
Not too much going on with me today. Waiting on home health to get the wound vac going for Ben.
He is so discouraged and I am so concerned with this wound situation.
Have a good day and weekend.
Nancy0 -
Nancy Sorry about your hubby I hope the health care can help you. There are wound clinics
too, they may suggest it.
Connie Still doing great on your routine. Not so much with me, my hubby last night decided to
try some tropical drinks, taste test, and I had two. They are like milkshakes with alcohol and I should
have known better since today was weigh in day. Evil scale was up.
I will wait until tomorrow
before I put in my challenge weight for St. Patrick's challenge.
Marie Good luck with the T dress.
Shirley0 -
Good afternoon, I haven't been up to alot the past few days, kind of just taking it easy. Its been colder and I have watched some movies, I had on my DVR. I am happy for those of you who have lost recently. I have to cook a ham later on, because its going to go bad if not. I cooked a pork loin lasagna last night for supper and had a salad. Its getting back in the 50's this weekend, I cant wait till Spring. Janice0
