Morning, misfits! Happy Friday!
I hope you guys have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend as we honor our nation's fallen heroes. We are going to our son's home for a cookout tomorrow and I look forward to that. I won't worry about having the right food as I am taking a veggie and fruit tray and once I pair the veggies with a chicken breast, I am set.
It's gym day for me so I better get going.
Stay strong!

sounds like a nice well prepare plan Connie. Good for you.We are not planing on anything. I will just eat my regular potatoes. I may try to make some potato salad vegan style. with no salad dressing. Alice will be out to Saturday or Sunday.I do not plan on doing no heavy cooking this weekend. Going to bake some sweet potatoes here soon. Baked enough to last a few days. Getting too hot here to have the oven on much.
So great to have you all here I hope this time next year we will all be skinnier. aand still posting here. You all are just like part of my family.

Morning,
Ditto to what Connie said about honoring our fallen heroes this Memorial Day.
Thanks to our veterans we can enjoy and celebrate this holiday.
I have gotten in a 35 min walk in the neighborhood and it was rather pleasant
since it was overcast not too hot. Gotta go to grocery store today.
Have a great Memorial Day.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. Jake's daughter lived in Ohio. He went there for a week in September when she was feeling good and they could do all sorts of things together and finish saying all the things they needed to say. He had called her once or twice a week for quite a long time. He will not be going to the funeral. His daughter knew that and agreed with his decision. Barbie 0 -
You know Barbie I much rather for my kids to come see me while I am alive than at my funeral. Jack did the right thing.Blessed him.So glad He got to spend time with his dauter My kids are pretty good about coming by Bruce not so often but at least 3 or 4 times a year. he is still a Texas boy.Even tho St. Louis is his home. His job is there so is his family
Alice every 2 weeks and Kathy every week.0 -
Here is my first attempt at frying french fries in my no oil cooker
They got good and done on the inside but they were not crisp on the outside. . I cook them at 10 minutes at a time and thew in the mini sweet peppers 10 minutes the last 10 minutes. My reactions Will have to get used to it. after all I have been eating gresy french fries for 85 years But I recalled most of mine I had when I was a kid was good old fry potatoes.But all in all a nice change of my breakfast this morning I qill rate this a 5 out of 10 points . If anyone has any clue to make them crisp will appreciate the tips. Oh I did put them the fryer basket raw

Marie your plate of food looks really good and delicious. I don't have any experience with no oil cooking so sorry I can't help you.
Barbie - sorry for your loss.
It looks like everyone is doing well and still at the battle. My daughters and myself were on a talk show
here in Canada, in the audience, and had so much fun. We came home with a bag full of goodies from
the show. My SIL taped it so we could see it when we got home. It was a an early morning of getting up at 5:30 am this morning but it was worth it. We also had our picture taken with the host Marilyn Denis.
We are spending quality time with Isaac and my daugher and son in law went to the Blue Jays baseball
game and we are babysitting.
Tomorrow we are heading to the cottage to clean it and open it up for the summer.
Our boat is in the water and cleaned on Friday, and I did wrench my knee some how, I don't how,but its swollen on the side and I am wearing an ace bandage and using ice. I will see how it goes and maybe
a trip to the chiropractor....when I get back.
Have a good weekend.

Good morning,
Hope everyone had a safe Memorial Day.
Now back to my daily routine. Scales not moving although I am watching, weighing and doing extra exercise???
Marie, Your food looks great. I have not heard of the no oil fryer??? I admire you for trying the new appliances.

Hi everyone,
We had a good weekend, it flew by. We had a nice fire Saturday and also Sunday, plus we cooked out on our charcoal grill, we like to use it when we're not in a hurry instead of our gas one. My daughter, and her husband and my grandson came over to enjoy the fire, she brought marshmellows to roast. I did avoid them. The weather was really hot and nice, the rain stayed away.
Today I am going to the nursing home, it's been a month since I have been there and her 61st birthday is Wednesday. Thursday is the day of my leep procedure.
I hope everyone is doing good, have a nice day.Janice0 -
Morning, losers! Happy Wednesday!
Janice...enjoy your sis today and you are in my prayers for a good result on the procedure.
Heat and humidity is finally here....not complaining, though. I have walked the dog and have a pedi appointment later this morning.
Make it a great day, losers!
If not now, when?

hi everyone,
sorry i have been MIA. i got bit by a tick:( i am going to the doctor today but i am hoping it is just a bite as i have no other symptoms. the problem is i am not 100% sure when it got on me. it was on the back of my leg toward the bottom. i am trying not to worry but so much about the lyme disease and it was a deer tick.
hope everyone had a good holiday. i an holding steady.
Stephanie0 -
Good morning,
Yes, the heat and humidity is here!!! Just got in a 45 min. walk at 9am and it's hot even early.

Hi,
I went to see 2 of my sisters yesterday. First I took my oldest sister some grilled ribs, burgers, and hot dogs leftovers from Memorial day and Sunday. She lives close to the nursing home, so I try to go there too.
After that I went to the nursing home, I bought her some special goodies. She was happy to see me and we had a good visit. It's amazing how they have gotten her meds straightened and and how normal she is, after they had her so drugged up.
There is a grocery store down the road from there, that I like to go in, so I picked up some more produce and odds and ends on sale.
It's very hot and humid here, too right now, but suppose to cool down the weekend. I will be glad when tomorrow's over, this has been going on for 2 months so far. I have to fill a pill I have to take for tomorrow to relax me today. I can't take most pain pills, so they gave me a valium. I gotta run, talk to you later. Janice0 -
janet my heart goes out to you in your tiring times. your own issues and your sister. Be hard on any of us. Connie Keeping own a trucking. I am but loving this way of eating. It is just right up my alley For breakfast I had a mess of veggies cook in my air fryer. summer squash , onions. cherry tomatoes. bell peppers was very good only wrong I did not have a starch with my meal. But I will make up the starch at my noon meal. Last night for my dessert I bake a apple in it with some sugar free apricot preserve in the center was really good. I used to bake them all the time When I had the big glass bowl infray cooker and it died on me. To night will have my baked sweet potatoes with BBQ pineapple for a topper and some greens. I do think that is my favorite meal.
Nancy i am not looking at this way of eating as a weight lost but as a healthy way of eating. being with the Mc dougall group on facebook has been such a big help to me. My blood sugar has improved so much along with my Blood pressure.I go for lab work in July to see How well I am doing on other things. The weight lost will just be a big bonus. for me. I am still hanging in the 170's. still a long way to go But I will make it. Shirley Have a good time this weekend on the boating Barbie Thanks for your long lasting support You have been a blessing to me for the last 9 years. My how the times fly.
for those I missed Sorry my menory has flew with the times

Hi, today went good, the Dr. does not think I have cancer and he took more of my cervix to make sure. My husband and I feel good about all he said. I am not hurting, thank god all went good. I just wanted to tell you, with everyone being so supportive and concerned. Janice0

Janice, So happy this procedure is over and you feel good about what your doctor told you.
Nancy 0 -
Good morning and Happy Friday, losers!
Janice...God is good all the time! So happy that you and hubs are happy with the doc's diagnosis!
Steph...hope that bug bite has resolved itself and not caused you problems.
Marie...feeling good is the best result of our efforts!
Nancy..I love my dog walks in the early morning hours, too. We get out there around 6:30.
This is gym day for me, and other than that, I don't have much planned. I am still bouncing between 200-202 but holding on to my resolve that I will get to Onederland at some point. I bought some new capris a few weeks ago that are now loose even after washing/drying so I won't complain.
Hope y'all have a great weekend!
Stay strong!

It is a hot day today and yesterday it cooled down so we shut off the A/C but it back up again.
I had a chiropratic apt. this morning about my knee and had a treatment. The swelling is going down a lot and she thinks its still the same problem I had before with the band on the side of the leg gets tight
and since I cleaned the boat who knows what I did. She doesn't think its cardilage problems so I was
happy to hear that. I may get an xray when i see my doc this month. I am still putting ice on it and wearing my tensor bandage. Hardly any pain but I feel it when I go downstairs and I have a lot of stairs.
Janice - Happy to hear you are well and things are good.
Stephanie - Sorry about the tick bite I hope you check out okay. Some people are bringing the tick to be tested. A lot of that going on this year.
Today was getting groceries and still have to put the laundry away and ironing after being gone since
Sunday.
