Michele, that is beautiful. All that hard work with the rock and lights was certainly worth it!
My dh and I started moving a pile of dirt in the backyard to make way for a new shed. I don't know how you work so many hours, Michele. I was done after an hour and a half. It is warm out there though. That's my excuse. :blushing:
Everyone (in the US) have a wonderful Independence Day! Everyone not in the US...have a wonderful day wherever you are.

Welcome newbies.
Prayer for Mariah.
Enjoy your day.
Lovely pool pics.

Sorry to be hogging the thread today but I am soooooooooo excited.!
My new royal blue skinny jeans have just arrived and I tried them on and they FIT! DH thinks they look terrific.
I can't believe it! My first pair of pants other than black, and they are skinny and they fit!:drinker: :bigsmile:
It took me an hour to summon up the courage to try them on, but I knew I must. They were just sitting there in their packaging looking at me! :laugh: Two minutes ago I did it. Happy girl! :blushing:
:bigsmile:
Heather x0 -
OHHHHHHH..........Michele---I just want to dive in!!! It's beautiful!!! All this time I've been trying to imagine what it would look like. Seems to be thawing a bit with your son, too.....best news on that situation so far!!! Fingers crossed here for you.
Heather.........OK; so now we need a "skinny jeans" picture..........major congrats to you!!!

Happy Fourth of July to all in the US!
City Jane - Great feeling isn't it when you can fit into something unexpectedly; it's one I plan on reacquainting myself with soon.
Michele (exermom) – what a pool! Fantastic!
I've done my morning dog walk and will hit the gym later today. Shooting for doing more than 3 minutes of vigorous exercise that I did yesterday according to my armband. Also only 153 steps short of 10,000 yesterday! I'll pick those up today. Staying close to the house since out here in the country many buy and shoot their own fireworks & don't always think clearly about the trees and field grass that could catch fire. I'm a bit paranoid about my property as well as my animals.0 -
WOW!! Here it is the 4th of July already. Hope everyone has a chance torelax and enjoy the day. I am working but plan to go to some friends for BBQ this evening. Take our own so that will help. Last night we went to our DS's and had BBQ and watched the town fireworks. For a small town (Phiiips) they do a very nice show. Our DD and family was also there, so nice family time.
I did not do very good with June goals. So trying to be more realistic.
1. Log everything bite I take
2. Drink more water -less Diet Soda
3. Think postive, forgive the past and let it go
4. Cut back on time spent on computer playing games
5. Start on getting pictures put in books. I used to be so good at this and have not done it since Christmas.Have acouple hundred to do. I love taking pictures for every family event. Put them in books labeled and dated. I enjoy spending time with the grand children looking at pictures and of their parents growing up.
Sure would like you all to send some rain our way. It has been so dry and hot. I am counting the days till Fall. My thoughts go out to the family and friends of the firefighters that passed. My step dad has been on the voluteer fire dept for years and was an officer for the State Fire Dept. I have several cousins and a son who are voluteer and I worry every time they are called out.
Welcome to all the new people and keep coming back. This is a GREAT group.
Amanda- Good Luck with your surgery and recovery
Kay- Great loss, 26 pounds in a year is something to proud of
Sandy- Great weight loss for June. My big problem is I would rather drink Diet soda then water. Working on the water as one of my goals for this month.
Carolyn-Thanks for affirmations- I copied them down to keep handie with my goals.
Katla- Hope you are feeling better soon. Being ill when it is so hot makes it worse I think. Good news about DH and his eyes.
Molly- Great news about DD. Keeping you in my prayers. God does GREAT work
Joyce- Patience is something I need to work on and I want it NOW! lol
SueSD- Glad you are doing well, Keep up the good work
Robin- Congrates on the job. When do you start? Hope it is everything you want.
Dodiemae- Welcome and it's nice you and your sister can walk to together. I have a friend that we talk about getting together to walk and seems something always comes up
Meg- What a shock about the women shooting the paramedic. All I could think was not in Nebraska- but no place is really safe.
Gail- Just think of the cholesteral med as a tool for your health. I had heard it is best to take at night.
Michele- Keeping you and Bryan in my prayers. Our children have the most power to hurt us. All we want is for them to be happy and not make the same mistakes we did.
DeeDee- glad you are not leaving.
Heather- Prayers to your family and your DD partner. Cancer is such a scary thing.
jb- Thanks for the good words. Sounds like your visit with your mom is going well. What a great memory.
Pat-Congrates on the loss. I understand about those voices. Sometimes mine and I have some real knock down drag out talks. Sounds like a good day keeping away from temptations.
Jan- Way to go!!
Deb- Great attiude
Kat- Welcome- just post when to can
Critter Sue- I have nights like that when I get up to go to the bathroom in the dark and stub my toe on the bed or dresser. I see stars. Our puppy is about over the edge with the fireworks. I will be so glad when they are over tonight. Our puppy Toby since he is the only one we have right now has really been acting out. He thinks whenever we leave he needs to go, which we let him when we can. But we he has to stay home he barks until we get back and most the time he is horse.
maureenTX-Welcome and remember One Day at a Time and One Step at a Time.
I dicided to check my measurments since I try and do that once a month. And since Jan I have lost 7 inches on waist and 8 inches on the hips. Guess that would explain why my pants keep trying to fall down. I just hate shopping and afraid I will gain it back so working hard at getting rid of things that are to big. Slow and easy I am getting there.
Blessed- Vicki GI Nebraska0 -
OMG Ladies, I cannot keep up with you all! I love reading this board... how do you guys do it? Do you keep 2 windows open and read in one and comment in the other? Help!
Thanks to everyone who welcomed me, I appreciate it.
I had a large fitness achievement yesterday. I was challenged to a virtual 5K for the 4th of July. Since I have a bad knee and can't run, I decided to try it on the Arc Trainer machine in the gym. I've done 2 miles before, but didn't know if I could manage 3.2. I did it! It took damn near an hour, but I finished it. I felt like crying, because just 6 months ago it would have not been possible.
I have a monthly session with a phone diet counselor from a program though work, I think it's through Cigna, and my counselor shared an insight with me that many of you may find helpful. She said that I have changed the way I think about myself... now I see myself as a healthy person, and have the attitudes of a healthy person in terms of my relationship with food and activity. When we first started, I really didn't see myself that way. So, even though I still have a significant amount of weight left to lose, it was really cool to realize that I've changed my outlook on my inner world, not just my outer world. I never thought about it that way, until she brought it up. It gives me a lot of hope that this change is permanent. :happy:
Hope everyone is having a glorious 4th. Thanks for being here ladies!
Kat from Maryland0 -
Does anyone here have psoriasis??? Mine has improved with my weight loss, or inches lost. Or maybe it is related to my blood sugar being normal now. I have it the worst in my rolls and there isn't as much skin touching skin now. I don't know what it is but I''l take it. Off to see MIL at NH and then to Cracker Barrell. Our youngest will meet us. She lives here in town and we don't see her very often.

Happy Independence Day to my US Friends and Good Day to All!
Today’s affirmation: I replace dieting with healthy eating principles and habits.:happy: :happy:
So sorry to read how many of you are suffering with hot, rainy and/or humid temps. Come to Denver! We’ve had a spectacular week. Last night DH and I went to the Rockies game and even though they lost we thoroughly enjoyed being comfortably warm outside. Today is about 88, and there is a nice breeze reminiscent of the Hawaiian trade winds. :glasses:
Your wise ‘voices’ were with me last night at the stadium. Before MFP, I behaved as though calories at a stadium, restaurant or party don’t count. After reading so many of your feats of strength and discipline I can say I have recalibrated my thinking and now consciously make smarter choices in challenging situations. I actually walked the perimeter of the stadium looking at all the food choices, settled on a burrito bowl with no cheese and one small good imported beer. I split both with my DH. I had a Lara bar in my purse for a late evening snack.
Jodios: Thanks for the tips about water, especially ice water. There is a little more clinking in my glass from this day forward. :drinker:
DeeDee: Hope you have a fun day today to balance the craziness from the night before.
Viv: Welcome back.
DrKatieBug: Very smart goal! I’m going to try this, too.
Barbie: I love how your fur babies pose for the camera. Such cuties! Does Bernie ever walk with you and the dogs?
Heather: You’re such an awesome cook. One day I’d love to meet you for tea and scones in Hampshire. My NSV was wearing PINK walking shorts purchased over a month ago during a short meet up with JaneH at the mall. So glad she was there to talk me into buying them because they really represent a fresh start for me.
Brooke: The article on DHEA is fascinating. Thanks for sharing.
Katla: So glad to hear the visit with the eye doctor was positive. I’m adding my prayers to yours for improvement in your DH’s vision.
jb: Crossing my fingers that the MRI results bring good news, and that you have a most pleasant visit with your mom.
Yanniejannie: Congratulations on coming soooo close to goal. Happy dance for you!
Michele: I’m happy to hear you got a reply from Bryan. Hope the private face to face meeting goes even better than you imagined. Say when for the pool party!
ElaineRN: You’ve already joined just by posting. Welcome to this group and congratulations on quickly dropping the first 30 pounds. Great job!!!
BigStockings, Maureen and Julie: A warm welcome to you, too. Keep coming back.
Pat: Have fun with your friends ‘one meal at a time’. Thanks for reminding me about the sales.
CritterSue: When I hear fireworks tonight I will think of you and send thanks on behalf of all the furry friends you are helping. I used to cat sit and know the awesome responsibility you must feel.
Vicki: Sounds like you need new pants! Great NSV.
Kat: What incredible personal growth to have turned your thinking around to such a constructive and positive mode. As for writing these long posts, yes, I open one window on a word doc which already has my signoff and monthly goals. When done writing, I copy and paste my reply to the thread.
It’s time to get outside and enjoy this fantastic sunny day. :glasses: :glasses: :glasses:
Stay well.
Rori in the Colorado Foothills
July Goals:
Nourish my mind and faith with daily positive affirmations.
80 oz of water per day, except on flight days (projecting only 5 plane days in July).
Try a new vegetable recipe.
Try a new exercise activity at the nearby community center.
Get a double digit number on my weight loss ticker.

Happy 4th!
Finally got planting done! Spent over 3 hrs. planting hollyhocks and various other perennials, along with weeding and general outside clean-up. Definitely got a bunch of walking in too, since we went to Lowe's, Home Depot and 2 nurseries before we found the plants we wanted. When we were all done, I smashed my little toe into a trunk in my closet and hoping it's not broken. :noway: :sad I was really looking forward to Water Zumba tomorrow. Crossing fingers that it feels better soon! Now I just have to tackle the inside of the house before DH's daughter arrives Sat. and we have everyone over for bbq Sunday.
Michele- Love how your pool looks! I'm very happy for you that Bryan responded positively to your e-mail!!!
Time's up for now. Have a great evening all! :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Just heard the GREATEST news and had to let you know!!!!! The doctor called ahead of schedule to let my niece know that Mariah's spinal tap results came back completely negative, no sign of cancer at all! :bigsmile: :happy: :bigsmile: YAYAYAYYYYYYYYYY what a relief!! Her family is sooooo happy as you can imagine! We're all so thrilled, breathing big sighs of relief....my mom's stomach is feeling better now, too, with this good news. She's been a nervous wreck over the whole situation, it's been a tough couple of weeks! Thank you all a million times over for your constant good thoughts and prayers. What a great group you are. :flowerforyou:
Enjoy the rest of your day!

My name is Melody and I am 5o+. I am a mother of four, grandmother of 8. Step mother of 2. I have an illness that caused me to have to take the medicine "prednisone". This made me retain water and also made me very hungry. With that I gained a lot of weight. Today I do not take the medication and trying to be more healthy using foods, and herbs. I started out weighting175 and now I am 156. I can not seem to lose any more. My you have some ideas.
I would like to wish you all a happy 4th!0 -
Just logged on to post my gym workout and catch a few posts. Did 35 minutes on treadmill, got my heart rate up to 140-145 for a short time. Seems like if I use the "standard" that would mean I was working at 84 - 88% of capacity. But my armband recorded only moderate exercise the whole time - not sure how to adjust for unhealthy weight & fitness, just seems wrong. Also did 2 sets of 20 ad machine at 30 lbs. - today that was a struggle. I'd meant to do some bike time to get to vigorous, but I was pooped out! Maybe tomorrow, not too worried about it. 2 more dog walks before the end of the day will also get me to or above 10,000 steps.
- jb - Great news on the spinal tap results! What wonderful news & it'll give the fireworks a little extra meaning for you all!
- Kat - fantastic job on the virtual 5 K, I like that idea and might have to put it on my list of things to try. When I remember, I open a Word doc and note name & what I want to say as I scroll through everyone's posts. BUT, that's when I remember :laugh:
Enjoy the rest of the day!0 -
:flowerforyou: Today Jake fixed food that he had shopped for…….giant Hebrew National hot dogs made on the George Foreman grill (no bun for me), sauerkraut (cooked in the microwave), salad with spinach, tomato, peppers, onion, and garlic, corn on the cob, and watermelon. There was so much food that we haven’t eaten the corn or the watermelon yet. We were invited to two barbecues with nice people, grilling, and potluck but I wanted to stay home. We worked in the yard and walked the dogs and spent time together.
:flowerforyou: Heather, I love scones but don’t eat baked goods any more…….I loved reading about yours.
:flowerforyou: Crittersue, when I took my dogs for a walk we could hear the sounds of fireworks close enough to possibly be happening in our “fireworks free” neighborhood. I resisted my impulse to track them down and instead took the dogs home where they are now napping peacefully on the living room carpet. We have A/C so we keep the windows closed so noise from outside is minimal.
:flowerforyou: Michele, one of the things I admire about you is your tenacity…….you work at things until you get them right……I’m thinking of how you keep trying and improving recipes, how you kept working at getting the pictures to post, and how you continue to reach out with love to your son even when he bites the hand you stretch out.
:flowerforyou: Helen, it is possible to refuse to eat treats at someone else’s house….just be firm and do it with a smile.
:flowerforyou: Maureen, you can join the squat challenge any time….either start at day one or wherever in the sequence…..the challenge will start over at the end of the 28 days. Here is the link
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1016966-let-s-motivate-each-other-4-week-squat-challenge-6-12-13
:flowerforyou: Vicki, my husband gave up diet soda “cold turkey” over four years ago. He even gave away a 12 pack so there would be none in the house. I didn’t think he’d be able to stick to it, but he has.
:flowerforyou: Kat, I have a word document to write my reply and I go back and forth between windows…..some days I reply to everybody, some days I reply to a few people, and some days all I do it talk about myself….I love your change of attitude and your tenacity at finishing the 5K.
:flowerforyou: Rori, when we got Bernie as a kitten I bought a harness and a leash for him and tried to train him to walk, but either he hated it too much or I wasn’t a good enough trainer, but it didn’t work. As much as I love the fantasy of walking all three animals together, the reality would be more than I could handle…..they are all very self willed.
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: Jb, that is awesome news about Mariah
:flowerforyou: Melody, welcome…..you’ve made an awesome start on your weight loss journey……there will be lots of good ideas on this thread about healthy eating and exercise…..keep coming back and reading and asking questions…..and do not be discouraged
:flowerforyou: Janie, don’t get too caught up in the different measurements of exertion, just keep showing up and being as active as you can and you’ll see the progress over time.
Barbie from sunny and warm NW Washington

Happy 4th to everyone in the US. We had a relatively healthy BBQ at my sisters. The day before my DD baked up a storm (we were also celebrating 3 family b-days and family tradition is everyone gets to pick their favorite dessert which my DD and/or I make since we are the bakers). So we also had carrot cupcakes, pecan tassies and ugly babies (my mom used to make a German chocolate pound cake that would get a very "ugly" cracked top which the kids called ugly cake...we converted the recipe to cupcakes and so they they are now know as ugly babies - and quite yummy.
DH, DD and I went on a bike ride this morning so we'd have enough calories for all these desserts :laugh:
Went to the parade with the family after we ate and then back to my sisters house to exchange gifts. She has lost a lot of weight with MFP so I'm going to take her shopping for new jeans when she is ready (my gift to her is a pair of jeans and cute top).
Now we are back home - our furbabies are frightened of the fireworks so we wanted to be home for them
jb - what wonderful news about Mariah!!!!
Michelle - beautiful pool and glad you got the picture posted at last so happy to hear Bryan is being more responsive Also, turns out my sister and her family are big fans of Mexican Train (which I had never heard of prior to meeting you on this thread!). They are going on vacation with us to AZ next year and she promised to bring a set and teach us how to play
Heather - Whoo Hooo. Now you have to post a picture of you in your new "blue" jeans...so happy they fit and you feel great in them :drinker:
Barbie - loved the pics of the fur babies :flowerforyou:
Kat - Thank you for sharing what your conselor shared with you - very eye opening
Welcome to so many newbies!
I spent so much time reading the posts I've run out of time to respond. Know I'm thinking positive thoughts for all my VitF pals even if I didn't have time to respond to you individually
Have a great evening. Jodios :flowerforyou: :smooched: :drinker: :bigsmile:
BTW you can find the squat challenge by searching for this: TOPIC: Let's motivate each other! 4 week squat Challenge 6/12/130 -
Big Stockings - welcome! You have great goals. You might want to make your lunch the day before and keep it in the refrigerator. I know how in the morning I don't have a lot of time. Just something to think about
maureen in TX - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Fantastic weight loss for June! No, no other home has access to our pool. We live at the end of a cul-de-sac. There are two lots (undeveloped) at the end. Honestly, I don't think the lot next to us will ever get developed. There is a BIIIIGGGGG dropoff, so in order to build the land would have to first be filled in and that would cost lots. There are power lines next to us, so even tho we own that land, we can't build any permanant structure on the easement. We have about 1-3/4 acres. We did built the detached garage a few years ago.
Heather - I'm so so proud of you going out in your garden. Oh, how wonderful about your jeans! Oh happy day!
Pat - the only problem is that the entire pic (and I don't know why) didn't post. You can't see the pergola or the lights that Vince installed. I'll get it yet one of these days. Of course, I may be 80 by that time....lol
Happy 4th!
Juanita - I wish I could get some of the other pics to post or even the whole pic. I don't know why that's happening. I also need to learn to resize -- can someone give me step-by-step directions?
Gail - road trip sounds great to me! You're more than welcome. That's so sweet of you to offer to shovel rock. Not sure when we'll be able to get the last load.
Eileen - to tell you the truth, shoveling that rock in a way was therapeutic for me. It helped to keep my mind off Bryan. Sometimes I would think about him and work harder just to get as much done as possible to be able to show him a pic. I know that I've been stress eating, but that's probably helped to keep me from really gaining
All you North Carolinears - have you been having real weird weather today? We have. One minute it'll rain cats & dogs, the next the sun will be out. We were reading where in NM they actually had HAIL! There were pics of plows. Mother nature sure does need to adjust her meds! According to the paper, we're 50% over our average rainfall. Vicki - you sure can have some rain, as much as you want...lol
Today Lance actually went downstairs! Shadow was out in the livingroom. Of course, she went back into the bedroom, but they're coming out and getting more and more comfortable. Just wish Lance wouldn't spend so much time behind or under the couch.
Vicki - great inches lost. That means so much more than what the scale says.
Kat - that's how I keep up with this board, I keep two windows open and then cut & paste at the end. That's just so wonderful what you did on the elliptical!!!
Joyce - safe travels
Rori - I agree with you. Pre-MFP I would many times treat going out (to someone's house, an event, whatever) as a time when I could just "let go". Not right now. These MFP voices keep me in line (well, most of the time). What's that saying "shhhhh, I'm listening to the voices in my head".....lol Wonderful NSV! I'm glad Janet was with you, too. We're going to have a Newcomer social on Aug. 24. In some ways it's actually harder to have one in summer than in winter. At least in winter I know that everything will be indoors. In summer, I have to have a plan for outdoors but also a backup plan in case it rains. With as much rain as we've been having, we'd better not have rain! Really love that animated cat
kathy - hope your toe isn't broken, too
jb - how absolutely positively wonderful! Doing a happy dance. Thanks so much for sharing. God certainly works wonderfully!
Melody - is your diary open? Welcome!
I made these donuts today. They're baked. I'm surprised at how good they are. I did put powder sugar on them right after they came jout of the oven, but it seems to have soaked into the donut. Not sure if it's because I have them in a glass-domed cake dish or if it's because I put it on while the donuts were still warm. So I just put some more powder sugar on them (and had to have one while I was doing so -- they are so good). We shall see what they are like tomorrow.
Tomorrow we're supposed to go to a friend's house. They're celebrating their 50th (yes, you read right) anniversary. I made some pizza logs from SkinnyTaste to take with me along with some wine cookies. She's very Italian and from the recipe online these are Italian. Well, truth be known, I didn't have enough wine. The recipe called for 1/2 cup and I only had 1/4 cup. So I used the 1/4 cup and added 1/4 cup water. They're going to baptize their grandchild in the morning so I really need to get some gifts. She said she had something for me to give Diana, and I asked her not to. Told her that I really hadn't told people this, but then I told her how we weren't allowed to talk to Diana etc. etc.
I'm thinking (maybe wrongly), really hoping, that one reason Bryan is communicating with us is not only that he's maybe less stressed, but also hopefully he realizes that he does need us. See, he needed 2 copies of his birth certificate with an apostile. Well, the state of NJ (where he was born) screwed up, sent two birth certificates but without the apostile. We're thinking that he'll need that for when he gets his American equivalent to a green card. Who knows? I'm not sure when in August his visa expires. Guess we'll just take it one day at a time. I'm sure he'll get it in time. So we sent them (NJ) the apostile form. Will they get it right this time? Who knows? Whatever God has planned is what will happen, that's the way I'm thinking.
I was so tired today that I took a 4 hour nap. Not sure why I was so tired, but I was.
Did anyone get a friend request from someone by the name of "his eminence"? I did, but I haven't accepted yet. That screen name just sounds "fishy" to me. I could be wrong, and I probably am. Has anyone had any experience with this person?
kat - wonderful attitude change!
jodios - what a nice gift for your sister! Mexican train dominoes is really easy to learn. I think I learned after playing it just twice. To me, the hardest part is having to count up all the points at the end. I understand that there is a dominoe set with the numbers instead of the dots on the dominoes. That would be neat to have
Michele in NC0 -
Let's see if this one works:
How do you resize ?0 -
Oops, I see an "IMG" that I didn't put into lower case. Let's try this once again 0
-
There's ANOTHER one that I didn't see:
Now how do you resize?0 -
Michelle - I got the same invite from HisEminence. Since I had no clue who he was or how he found me I declined his invitation. Jodios0
-
No, I didn't move or delete the image. Why does that come up? ANd how do you resize?
0 -
OK, I'm going to stop. Hopefull, SOMEONE will tell me why I get that "moved or deleted" note and tell me how to resize the photos.
Michele
Oh, jodios - thanks for telling me. Wonder how he did get our names. Well, he probably did some kind of search0 -
Let's see if I did, in fact resize this one: 0
-
Nope, I "moved or deleted" this pohoto. NO I DIDN'T!!!!! I'm going to check out tinypic like jodios suggested0
-
OK, ONE more time, this time at tinypic:
0 -
Hey, that worked! Oh, I'm so happy, And looks like I don't even have to resize it. Happy Happy day!
The part that is still red clay will be riverrocked as well as the area around the pergola that's over the equipment pad. We just have to wait for the next delivery.
Nitey nite all0 -
Marvelous looking pool, enjoy!
Okay, the day's not over; haven't done the night time dog walk, but I've got over 11,693 steps! Granted some of them were very slow, especially right after the gym today, but I don't care, passed 10,000!

:flowerforyou: Hi everyone
:frown: Can't believe I am back at work on Monday, I've really enjoyed my 2 weeks off work.
:noway: Last week we were on the Norfolk Broads on a boat. Spent most of the week in a state of anxiousness :ohwell: can honestly say the 'life on the ocean wave' is not for me! :bigsmile: It was an adventure I suppose, but pity the weather was so unsettled - we had some strong winds, which made the boat difficult to steer, (I was always glad when we moored up and got off the boat).
:drinker: This Sunday I am doing the "Race for Life" in Hull with my sister in law Helen and her daughter Tracy. We've done it for the last few years now - it's a race for women to raise money for cancer charities, and have races all around the country. We don't run, we walk it taking Tracy's two children with us too. Last year we decorated the pushchair.
:flowerforyou: Love the pictures of the pool and the fur babies, it's got me thinking that I'll try and post one from the holiday (from hell!) only kidding it wasn't that bad and I can laugh about it now I'm safely back home on "dry land". I might try and post a picture from the race for life too - getting very ambitious :bigsmile:
Have a great day
Love Viv from Sunny York UK0 -
My NSV for this week: a couple months ago I bought several items in my “next” size (down). This morning I tried on one of the skirts and it fit perfectly. A couple pants/skirts are just ‘this’ shy of fitting but I’m confident they will in the next week or so. The skirt was NOT black - - fuchsia and purple, thank you very much!
JB – More great news about Mariah – Yay!
ElaineRN – Welcome and congrats for your loss so far! This is a terrific group of fun, funny and supportive women. Read/post often
Michele – It’s lovely in your yard, now I want to go swimming
BigStockings &
Maureen B – Welcome to our group, come back often for laughs and words of wisdom!
Heather – Yay for royal blue skinny jeans (that fit)!!!!!! Congrats :flowerforyou:
Kat from MD – Wow, great work on the Arc Trainer!!!! The way I take part is I open a Word document and move back and forth with my comments as I’m reading, then I just copy and paste into my reply here. Haven’t lost a post yet (save as you go)
Vicki in NE – Awesome success on your inches lost! I wish I’d taken a baseline when I started, but I didn’t :grumble:
Rori – Love that you not only embrace but celebrate the pink shorts (thanks Jane!!!). Great NSV at the ballpark too
Janie - Awesome steps!!!!!

morning ladies,
I am up early, and hitting the gym before I go out with my friend Doris...and we are going out to lunch, I have learned to sort of judge what kind of food I can eat...if we go to a seafood place will try and get something baked without and butter and have veggies and the salad.. going to have a yogurt once I get back from the gym...
So excited for all of you getting new clothes, isn't it wonderful?
Michelle- that pool looks awesome, if I lived closer I would be visiting alot!!!!
well we have to bring baked beans and a veggie platter sunday to a picnic, Is there any recipes for low fat baked beans?
well off I tootle to the gym, come home,take a shower and pic Doris up ..0
