    Mia, great photo of you and DH - lucky you swimming with the dolphins! That wedding ring "ain't too shabby" ;) Congrats on 30 years and here's to 30 more!!

    Heather, that's the pits about that gal messing up your check deposit. And that attitude when you went back - ugh. Give me her phone number and I'll pretend she's a telemarketer -- I'll give her supervisor a nice jingle and you'll have it corrected immediately! >:)

    Katiebug, your grands are so cute! They should get first place for representing their characters so precisely (if they give prizes.) Love your sunshine - we're in for a cold rainy (possibly snowy!) week.

    Becca, congrats on the certificates! Your TOPS group sounds like a lot of fun and very supportive.

    Lenora, I went to Methodist churches throughout my life and the last one I attended had an "Ash Wednesday" service so we'd get ashes on our foreheads as well. We had an older pastor who really made the religion "come alive" - she passed away several years ago after an illness and I think about her still.

    Becca and Lenora, I wanted to mention - how neat your boys' intellectual capabilities were recognized and you were able to work with them and encourage them. I think my DH is pretty sharp but as a child, his family was quite dysfunctional and he joined a gang (this is not the drug gangs we have today, he could have played an extra in "Grease" - some drinking and fighting, hot rods, girls.... This was in the 1950's and early 60's. Certainly no incentive or parental encouragement to study hard, go to college, or even finish high school.)

    Thank goodness he joined the Marines - that really turned him around.

    :)Mia, you and your husband look fabulous...also you and the dolphin

    :)Heather, we had a similar experience a few years ago when our bank showed a $1.000.00 deposit as a withdrawal and we got no sympathy and had to wait a week for it to be corrected...also loved the family photos you posted.

    :)Katiebug, your grandchildren look adorable

    Dr. Katiebug quite familiar with those characters as an elementary teacher. Darling.

    Mia love the pictures.

    On the subject of vegetables, I mentioned the book Eating on the Wildside. The author discusses how we are programmed to like sweet foods. The food industry answered by trying to make our vegetables sweeter. The problem is the more bitter a food is the more likely it will fight against cancer. After watching my DH suffer the past three days because he lost a kidney to kidney cancer I have to say I am even more motivated to eat right. I realize I may end with cancer regardless. I just want to do what I can to lower my chances. I also told you about the young man who broke a hip at fifteen and had herniated discs in his back partly due to a poor diet. When he reversed his diet his health improved dramatically his discs were no longer a problem. Food sometimes is medicine. Maybe thinking of it in that way might make it easier for those who dislike vegetable to look at them in another light.Sometimes preparing them in different ways and using spices and herbs can help too. Fortunately I like all vegetables except for eggplant and split pea soup.I had roasted vegetables for lunch and cooked some green peppers for dinner. YUM! Time to cook some blueberries in maple syrup for dessert.

    Yes, Kate ... on a very frequent basis (like today) ... but we don't give up ... because the alternative is not pretty.

    Mia ... I think the photos are wonderful and really like those of you with the dolphins!! Your expression with them speaks volumes.

    Hard work again today. Still not finished. I am beginning to think we will never get finished.
    For month of February, I lost 3.2# and 2 inches. I did get sidetracked for a few days but am back on the rails again going back to catch up on the posts.

    Becca - I found the calendar by doing a Google search for "calendar 2017". (It wasn't on FB. Just the idea.)

    Here's a copy attached here. zp9ybncp2xb5.jpg

    Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

    Good Evening My Dear Friends,

    Lanette, congrats on the loss. Keep up the good work.

    Lisa, great work on the not smoking and how wonderful that Cory is going the same route.

    Beth, that is wonderful news about your mother.

    Rebecca, welcome. This is a wonderful place for support and information. Please tell us a little about yourself to help us get to know you. And please sign each post with your name and a location for those of us with short memories.

    Ginger, that is one big pig. How long have you had her?

    Allie, I’ve heard of the Android boxes for tv. Let us know how that works out.

    Heather, thanks for the pep talk. I needed that. You set such a good example.

    Kelly, OMG you are going crazy with your exercise. Way to go. Keep posting that and maybe I’ll consider doing a few more of mine.

    Yinka, what a nice surprise visit. I know you enjoyed looking through the scrap book.

    Beth, that is scary about your friend. I hope they just stop as quickly as they started.

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gifto any Newbies. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.

    I had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon with an ENT doctor. I have been having very sharp pains in my left ear for about 3 weeks. Of course as I got close to the appointment the pain went away the last two days. After a through exam that was not all pleasant, she couldn’t find anything wrong. At least she did rule out some things and said it sounded like a nerve pain which could have been caused by a number of different things. Hopefully the pain won’t come back. I love reading all your advice, food choices and goals. You are such inspirations to me and I celebrate your victories. ((((Hugs)))) to those that want or need them.

    Sending love, good thoughts and sunshine to all of you.

    Fling to bed now after a disastrous evening snacking, biscuits, peanut butter on toast. Not sure why as I had been good all day. Will need to think about why I did it, I did the same 2 days ago but that was after drinking wine.
    Tomorrow is another day and will try not let myself be derailed. I've been doing this for a year now and still have a couple of pounds to lose to get to goal, wondering how to get past this time of up and down pounds. Feel like I'm just tired of it but know I need to keep going otherwise I won't be able to maintain the loss. Anyone else had this feeling of I'm fed up with this, I want to eat anything I like and to h**ll with it

    Kate UK

    Absolutely, I think probably the majority of us here have done that, thus we are here for support and to support one another. Good job on stopping and going to bed. <3

    Becca - glad you got the calendar. I think it'll be motivating.

    DJ - We've had Miss Piggy for 8 years. She was a baby when we got her. Our then 3 year old granddaughter named her. I think DH over-feeds her! I'm always fussing at him about giving her too much food scraps.

    Hello all! We moved to a new (to us) house, the 18 year old cat promptly disappeared, and the scale won't budge... life!!

    Blessings to all.
