Shirley-Today it was colder, it was 68 , and getting cooler everyday, the 80's was a fluke. I laid out and got some sun. Yesterday I weighed and I was 182.6, a few pounds up. Anyway it looks like the 3 of us are close to the same weight.I am sure Isaac will be happy with his birthday presents.
Marie-Thats great you have almost lost 20 pounds recently, before you know it you will be in the 170's, I keep dipping back in them back and forth, I plan to get back there for good again.
Connie-I know you will get to 199 soon, you have been doing great, how is living in your new house?
Sonya-Glad your back, I am sure you will see a loss soon.
Today I went to the nursing home and my sister is about the same. They have put some stints on her feet to help her walk, they are made of a cushiony material, ger feet want to point out from laying. I made steak tacos for supper, I cook the meat in tbe crockpot with some marinade. I drained it because it was very salty. It turned out good. See ya later. Janice0 -
Hi guys. Sorry I have been mia again. We hopped the ferry and rode around with the kids dad. He has been gone for over 3 weeks. He also was contacted by one of his coworkers that has the same breed of dog that we have. He has a male and a female. The female has been picking incessantly on the smaller male. So he decided to give the female away. So while we rode the ferry around we picked up the female. She is so sweet. She instantly bonded with Orca. So we now have s matching pair of pups again. They are both about 2 yrs old. On the ferry they had to be kept in kennels on the car deck. Ella is her name. She cried in her kennel so my hubby turned her kennel so she could see Orca. She was fine after that. And the weather was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Not a drop of rain or wave over 3 foot high in 58 hours!!!!!! Highly unusual for southeast Alaska in March!!!!! The only hiccup was the 400+ teenagers coming back home from Sitka. We had the southeast regional basketball tournament in Sitka this year. It rotates between Ketchikan Juneau and Sitka. We had all the basketball teams (boys and girls) for 4 towns. All the cheerleaders for 4 towns. Pep club and pep band for 4 towns. Plus the Ketchikan dance team. It was MADNESS AND MAYHEM!!!!! Luckily hubby was working on there and we had access to the crew quarters during meal times and we could eat in relative peace and quiet. Instead of being rushed through your food so they can clear tables and get 400+ people fed in 4 hours. But all in all it was a very relaxing trip. The kids enjoyed seeing dad and "helping" him do his job. I got to kick back and forget about being a parent because the kids can go where they want and do what they want. After all the ship is only so big. And all the crew members know the kids so they can't get away with misbehaving. So I got to relax as well. It was great.
Here is a pic of the matching pair.

What cute puppies Ester.
Today was grear. Went shopping and ended up get a whole outfit for free. Well tomorrow will be 80 here too. Looking forward to another great day. Good night ladies.0 -
Good morning, losers! Happy Thursday!
Janice...we love the new house! It's bigger so I get in a lot more steps! Glad you were able to visit with your sis.
Sunny...how did you get a free outfit?
Shirley..this year has flown by! I remember the first pic you posted of Isaac.
Marie..good work! You are an inspiration for all of us!
Warm with lots of pollen and sun today. It supposed to cool down a little by the weekend with rain. I am scrambling for something to wear as everything spring/summer is too big. It's a good problem to have, I know.
Make it a great day, losers!

Good Morning Misfits!
Planted a few flowers yesterday only to hear we might have frost this weekend. Ooops. What should I do for my flowers?
I'm trying to decide if I should join the local gym. I feel like I should just exercise here at home but maybe I'd be more consistent if I went to the gym. Hmmm decisions.
Marie thank you for the birthday list!
Connie that pup of yours on the porch is precious!
Good Morning everyone.
If not now, when.
Ruthie0 -
happy St. Patrick day my lovely friends
have a great day.
Marie0 -
Happy St. Patricks Day,
Esther-The pups are cute what breed are they? The ferry sounds neat, its great you can go visit him there and stay while your hubby is working.
Sunny-The warm weather makes me feel so much better, too, and just getting out and about. This is my favorite time of the year to shop. How did you get your free outfit, Kohls cash?
Connie- We are getting colder and rain this weekend, too. How much have you lost in total? It is a good problem clothes being too big. My closet has been mostly all changed out except for some sweats and T shirts, all my old pants / shorts are gone except some in a bin that are the nicer ones. I haven't gotten rid of everything but most everything. Glad you are loving your new house.
Ruthie-I hope your flowers make it thru, I think you are suppose to cover them right before the frost and then take off immediately after the temps rise above freezing. If I were you I would invest in a good piece of equipment instead of joining a gym. They are costly and alot of times people dont really want to leave to exercise. Unless you want to leave the house to get some space from kids/ hubby. If you dont want to purchase any equipment walking/ running is free and the next 7 months the weather is the best time of year to do it. Good luck, with whatever you do.
Marie-I hope you are doing good, did you make it to that new store you were talking about.Gotta go. Janice

Yes Janice we did go to The \dollar tree, Lets see what i bought. Frozen fruits, frozen veggies, A basket, note pads. Jerry pick up some frozen TV dinners. Some small plastic bowls for soup storage. Sharpie pens and etc.All for a dollar each.Wow. I think My total was 22,oo love that store.

Janice.... They are both Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.0
-
The Cavaliers come in 4 colors. Blenheim is brown and white. Tri colored is white Black and Tan. Black and Tan is just that black with tan markings much like a Rottweiler. And then Ruby which is all brown. I'm not so big on the ruby colorings. I feel the color variations give them more personality. They have the personality of a golden retriever in a small dog body. Most Cavs are under 20 pounds. And they are lap dogs. They have long fur like the golden retriever but they don't have the insulating undercoat that sheds so badly. I have noticed that mine she'd just a little more than I do. However I tend to brush them most every night. When I am sitting watching tv after the kids are in bed I just grab the brush while they are laying in my lap. The more they are brushed the less they shed.

They are adorable Esther

Hi misfits,
Sorry I have been mia for a few days. Hubby is doing better, got rid of wound vac and was discharged from surgeon. Dr. said it should be healed in a month. Sounds good as it has been over 3 months since surgery.
So with his good news I bolted out of town to spend a few days with my sister. I needed a break!!!
Hope everyone is doing good. Will be home Saturday.
Nancy0 -
We just got back from dinner, Dave had the corn beef & cabbage, I had the shepared's pie. I thought all
that sodium in the beef will not be good for weigh in tomorrow.
Have a good evening.

(My free outfit)
Wed was one of those rare days when I was off work and no one was out of school or had to be picked up early because of a flex day. So, I decide to go shopping. I went to my usual spots where I could use my credit card if I needed to and I couldn't find anything I liked. Then I remembered another store that I hadn't been to in a while. I hadn't planned on spending to much and I remembered I have a $25 gift card. Well I found what I wanted including the shoes and jewelry which of course went well over $25 but when I got to the register the manager announced that the system was down and they could only accept credit and cash.
I asked about gift cards. She said well let's see. So when I slide the gift card she said okay go ahead and sign. I said but my card was only $25 she said well the receipt says it's paid for. I said I don't want to be stealing. So she showed me the receipt. I said okay and left the store without having to pay anything out of my pocket. 
then I went to sees candy to get my kids lollipops and they guy gave them to me as free samples.

Sleep well ladies.

Good morning, losers! Happy Friday!
Sonya...you were meant to have that outfit!
Nancy...have a restful visit with your sister. You deserve it!
Marie...love, love the Dollar Tree, too!
Ruthie...I do have a gym membership. I used to exercise at home and still do sometimes. I have a good library of DVDs, but needed/wanted something different. I love the pool classes at the gym and this is my second year with a personal trainer. I consider it to be a gift to myself. It's really a matter of personal preference. When I am tempted not to go, I think of the money I have invested and that gets me up and out!
Shirley...dinner sounds good!
Janice..still warm here but will cool off the weekend. As of today, I have lost 34.8 pounds.
I am doing pretty well today...sneezing from the pollen, but other than that, I'm feeling good. I am down 1.6 today...it's weird because I usually drop ounces instead of pounds..but, hey, I'm taking it! I know that a slow down is surely going to come and I hope it's after I get under 200. I am at 205 right now. Gym day for me...gotta go.
Stay strong!

Good afternoon, another sunny day today, before the rain this weekend. Yesterday I went and got my car tags renewed and my drivers license. I am pleasantly surprised with the picture on my license. After losing over 50 pounds, you can really tell a big difference in my face, the old one my face was really big. Its little things like that, that make what we all doing worth it and can see a big difference. It made feel good, even though lately no big loses.
Nancy-Glad your husband is healing and you got to go visit your sister, have fun.
Sunny-It was your lucky day, getting everything free, other than the gift card.
Connie-You are so close to onderland, you will be there soon. After I reached it the 190's went fairly fast. It was the 180's that went slow. Your 34.8 pounds loss is wonderful.
Marie-I love the Dollar Tree and Deals, I was there last week and bought several things including 5 pair of readers .Deals has mostly 1.00 items, too. They are in the process of changing to Dollar Trees and if anything is over a dollar its 25% off now, soon it will be more off. I think I may go again soon.
Shirley-I had cabbage and beans last night, I have never eaten shepherds pie, I need to eat some soon.
Gotta run. Janice

Rain is returning to the Dallas FT. Worth area and cold weather too.If my Mother was still with us she would say this is the Easter Spell
Tonight i am having green beans and new potatoes. which looks like it is about that time.
I am getting all of my great grand kids, great great grands kid here for a Easter Egg hunt out at Kathy's house not on Easter but the Sunday after April 2 because we had to arrange to be able to get a couple of them from there Mother. You better believe I am looking forward to that.
I did type up a post early this morning but most have forget to hit the post reply button
So a Repeat
Connie wow girl what a great year you have had A new house a streamlined figure So darm Proud of you.my friend.
Time to go eat with my loving husband
Marie0 -
@caliecat...so glad you are going to see all of your grands!! Please take pics to share with us!!
Connie0 -
Marie - You must be so excited to see the grands and great grands. I am sure you will have a great
time. Yes..pictures please.
Connie - Congrats on the weight loss. You must be so busy with your new house you don't think about
eating, I know I would be that way. A wonderful year for you!
Janice - Don't you love thinner faces. That's where everyone notices you are losing weight because the
face is thinner. I used to have a fat face too but it is staying slimmer now a days. Also the collagen
is probably leaving my face and it is sagging more.
Ha!
Sunny - What a fabulous day you had shopping. You are one lucky gal!
Today was walking around the hockey arena with hubby and now cleaning my downstairs.
The weather here is cold but sunny and that makes me want to keep moving.
Enjoy your day!
Shirley0 -
Hi everyone,
Glad to be home. Had a good visit with my sister.
Got to catch up on everything. Didn't do too badly with food while not at home.
Connie you are just doing great. Your hard work is finally paying off!!! Way to go!!!

I ran around today with Hubby, getting things for the car we needed to go with the things that came today from Amazon. We got fish for dinner, from the place that has the best fish in town. The weather has been cold er and rainy today. Not much else going on. See ya tommorrow. Janice0

good morning ladies,
hope everyone is well!! i am so ready for the next challenge, Connie, i have been reading this book that is called Eat Fat and Get thin. i think that is what you are doing. trying towrap my head around it. definitely stuck in a rut:( my problem is i can't get rid of all processed foods, i think my family would go bananas even though it is probably better for them.
nancy, glad your hubby is better!
janice, did you ever follow up after you fainted with a doctor?
marie, how are your potatoes?
sunny, did you wear your new outfit yet?
shirley, nice to see you!
hope everyone has a great day!
stephanie0 -
@slw19..rave reviews on that book, Steph. I have not read it yet. Yes, it is pretty much what I am doing...low carb, high fat, moderate protein, 1500-1600 cals, and moderate exercise works for my body to lose the fat. My long search for the right combo has paid off (yes, Nancy!) and it is good for my hubs, too.
Connie0 -
Connie, Would it be too much trouble for you to share what your menus look like for one day? I just can't figure out what foods I would eat to keep it low carb, high fat and med. protein.
It's working so good for you so I am wondering if I could do that plan. Just not too sure how low I can go on carbs and not have it interfere with my sleep??? I still have the Lyle McDonald pdf but it is so restrictive! Need help as I am not sure I will lose very much on the starch solution plan.
Nancy0 -
Happy Spring to All!
Dave popped over to our friend's across the border to pick up Isaac's summer swim suit, shirt and hat
for their trip to Mexico next month it will be part of his birthday gift. We bought it on line in a store
in Florida but have it shipped to a US address because shipping to Canada costs too much.
We had brunch out this morning at a restaurant and then went to pick up some comfortable chairs
with ottomans for our patio this summer. I just finished washing sheets and put on the clean ones.
The rest of the day is free so far.
Shirley0 -
@eyegirl777va...my diary is open to friends. The Mcdonald diet is too restrictive. I did not do that very long. What I am doing is basically Adkins...remember him? You can get all the info on the Adkins website. Meat, chicken, fish, eggs and non starchy veggies. Real butter, full fat mayo, salad dressings, etc. I'll send you a PM with some other resources.
Connie0 -
Connie My daughter Kathy is on Atkins diet and has really lost a lot in the past 2 months. over 20 lbs. But she is hardly eating anything. She is keeping them in bussiness with her diet Atkins drinks Bars and etc. and diet cokes. But she is looking great tho. I could not eat all that meat because of my Kidney.She lost real good once before on it. but like most of us gained it back.
I am looking forward to all of my family get together after Easter.
Jerry and I are really enjoying out Antenna TV. Would never go back to Cable or satellite. Alice has one hook up up to a spare TV Just for a back up to bad weather. I think everyone should have a back up. for 5.99 a pretty good bargain. We appreciates it more and more each day.
marie0 -
@caliecat...I keep the bars/shakes and have them for emergencies only or for a needed sweet treat. They are processed and I would rather have "real" food. I still have movie popcorn when I go to the movie because that is one thing I will not give up. One reason I am determined not to gain it back is because low carb also keeps the inflammation in my knee at bay.
So glad your antenna is working well. We have a backup tv set connected to one, too. Works great, especially before the cable/internet was up.
Connie
