Hi Ladies, I am trying again to lose weight so I can live long enough to annoy my grandchildren. I was recently put on Metformin and it's helping balance out my blood sugar fluctuations. I am grateful for that! It's an eye opener for me, I though all people wanted to chew their arm off by 10am if they didn't eat again.
I look forward to reading some posts!4 -

Cheryl ~ The new rug brings all the colors together beautifully!
Sue ~ Thanks for sharing your pics. Y'all look great!
Lisa ~ Your pics are great too. The lake looks so peaceful.
Carol in GA3 -
Sue B great pictures.
Cheryl LOVE,LOVE,LOVE the rug.
Dana do you have access to a pool. I have whenever I can do my PT exercises in a pool. Knee and foot definitely improving. It turns out the foot problem was caused by my shoes. I need more arch support. On Saturday I went out shoe shopping with that in mind. I was able to find a great pair of running shoes on sale with my discounts for $30. NSV!

Margaret Yes, I belong to the YMCA downtown and they have a beautiful indoor pool. It's 10 miles away so I try to plan trips just for a day or two. I do wear New Balance walking shoes. I have lived here for a year and don't know anyone, so it's hard to go by myself. Bathhouse Row also have some natural hot springs that are great. I've been there with friends who have visited.
Just weighed myself. I didn't lose a thing. I guess the chocolate bunny did me in. Time to buckle down and get back to watching my food intake. I stayed under 1500 cal. but wrong choices can mess me up!
I have a hard time drinking water, so I need to put a container out on the counter to finish by the end of the day. I sound like a mess today!
I exercised on my peddler this morning for 30 min. then installed a new shower head with a hose. I had a hard time getting the old one off. I discovered that there was a device inside that was restricting the water flow! No wonder there wasn't much water coming out. My DH won't do such work. He says he don't know how! Aggravating sometimes. I just jump in and do it. Oh well he's outside mowing the back acre. Sometimes that's a good thing so I can clean the house!!! LOL!
Happy days!!

Hi my lovely ladies!
I've had a fantastic day and walked my socks off!!!!!! I'm entering 4 hours of walking, but I ve done more.
First I want to show you my new bling trainers that I couldn't resist buying. There are some great shops here.
They are very much more gold in reality and also have a flash at the back.
Here I am doing my favourite thing, having a drink under an umbrella. Not too good at selfies.!
Here is my salad lunch. I did not eat the potatoes or the bread and butter.
Here is a typical French patisserie, just for all you sweet toothed ladies.
Off out in a minute for a drink by the quay side and a nice fishy dinner.
Love Heather UK XXXXXX

Hi Everyone!
I've had a little bit of a setback. Last week my circuit classes all involved kettle bells and as a result, I hurt my lower back. I took yesterday and today off from working out and I will start back walking tomorrow.2 -
wessecg – Yes, much better – size-wise, it draws the pieces of furniture together. I think you can see that it is centered from each sofa and the sofas are each about equal distance from the edge of it. It is a great size for showing off the rug and the new furniture. If it had been any larger; you would have needed to measure out from the wall to place it. We have an oriental rug; and it is 11' x 14' and basically has 4' on each side off the walls; and 3' off the FP wall. It is centered on the fireplace. We had old, large furniture and our chairs and sofa legs are right up at the edge of the rug. I hope that you can 'see' the difference between this rug and the rug you first had. It makes the sofas and chairs look more in scale in what I can see of the room. Being able to see it ‘in person’ and not from a photo, it is a little hard to judge the color of the wall against the color in the center of the rug. Unless you have something that is painted that color that you could lay down on it; it really looks like it is in the same family; maybe with a bit more pink in it. Therefore you probably would not have to paint the walls, if you like the color and not really looking forward to painting it at the moment. If you still have some of the paint; paint it on a piece of something white; and, put it down on the center part of the rug. You should be able to tell if they look like they are in the same family, even ‘if’ it is a little darker shade. But wines and rusts can go together even though one had more pink than the other. My rug is wine colored; but, I have a platform rocker that is covered in rust-colored suede and it still looks good in the room. I also made a pillow to go on it that has both wine and rust in the fabric.
Then when you get ready to paint the wall, since the furniture and floors are relatively dark … I would pull out that beige (light beige or the shade darker in the rug) or try that color (sort of a celery looking color) that is a ‘diamond’ shape in the band in the middle; that might make the floors pop [since it looks like they have a bit of a green cast to them] and also the green in the table top. Your beige should be in a ‘yellow’ tone; versus picking out a ‘taupe colored’ beige. Try several patches of colors from the rug; and paint about a 1' square on the wall over the sofa, give it a few days before choosing a color, so you can see what it looks like at different hours of the day (and night). If you have a paint chart book (some paint stores, like Porter Paints) will actually give you a book, or maybe charge you $5 or $10 for it. Spread it out and pick a color you like. Then chose the shade that is 1 lighter in color because it will dry darker on the wall; especially since you will be painting it over a dark wall. You might want to get them to ‘tint’ a primer the same color, so it will cover it and not bleed through any light touch of painting. I would recommend this; you are already going to have to paint 2 coats on the walls to cover that dark color anyway. If it has baseboard and crown moldings, a color that my husband uses a lot of from Porter is called “Velvet White”; it is not ‘stark white’ and goes with most colors on the walls. But, you do not have to paint the trim in a different color; you probably would not want to do so if it will be a distraction from what is ‘in the room’. A trick to painting moldings in a room so that it looks crisp and even is to paint the lip of the moldings (whether it is crown or floor; dragging the brush along that lip. That way you don’t have any wavy lines. If you are going to have it painted by a professional; I would ask friends about his dependability. Louis asks for 1/3rd up front; 1/3rd during the middle; and expects the last 1/3rd when he has finished. If you want the painter to do something other than what you have talked about, then ‘expect’ to be charged. It’s not ‘oh, while you are at it will you paint the ceiling’? Painting a ceiling in a room means they have to cover all the furniture. More than they would if they are painting just the walls. Regardless, they should use drop clothes so they don’t get any paint on that pretty flooring you have. Or, at least use painter’s tap on it. See what you think of their rooms he/she has painted. It is just a little ‘off-white’.
Depending on the sunshine and light coming through it, it will look different at different times of the day; different under lamps or overhead lights. Looks like you have centered the rug to the middle of each couch – that is good; but, I might move the coffee table a few inches toward the 2 seater couch so that the legs closer in the pictures will actually be centered over the center of the rug. You might have to move the 3 seater down a couple of inches when you do this; and, then move the chair in a little bit more towards the rug. I don’t know what you plan on hanging over the 3 seater; a group or a big mirror; since the backs seem to be ‘high’ don’t hang anything where the ‘bottom’ will be higher up than about 4 ½ - 5” from the top of the 3 seater. The rule of thumb when you are hanging pictures in a room where most of the time you would be seated; you should NOT have to move your head to look at the grouping; just be able to move your eyes up and down … like this: > without having to tilt your head more than an additional 10° upwards. If you plan of hanging a group, get some paper (Kraft paper) or any kind of paper that will fit in the area over the 3 seater. Grocery bags laid out and taped together (although they are generally a bit too heavy). With Kraft paper, your grandkids can draw on it. Lay it out on the floor and put whatever you plan on hanging there (face down) and once you find a pattern you like, draw with a marker around them. Measure down to where the hanger would be (or wire if pulled up) and mark it on the paper. Then tape it with paper’s tape to the wall; and, you will have a mark in whatever you are hanging already to nail in a holder without just nailing things into the wall and having 5 or 6 holes for each thing. Then you can pull the Kraft paper off the wall and the nails and hangers should still be on the wall. I would do this before painting the walls; then have whoever is painting, paint right over the nails of hooks and fill in any ‘extra’ holes you have made with drywall spackling and sand it lightly. They just need to make sure they do this with a brush to make sure the paint doesn’t glob up and run down. It is more interesting if you are not hanging things so that they are symmetrical; in other words, not a big picture in the middle, 2 smaller ones on either side, then a pair of sconces on the outside. Black metal scones (or anything painted in the same as the legs on the coffee table, flat or glossy – they look flat black. Nothing wrong with using a pair of sconces on the outside; but using different shapes of pictures in a grouping between them would be more interesting. The frames do not have to be the same either.
They can be black, metal, and/or wood. Just make sure that you don’t have too many of the same color on one side or the other that would tend to draw your attention away for the grouping. When decorating, most times you should use an ‘odd’ number of things; like you have with 3 pieces of furniture. Same goes for things in pictures; an odd number of whatever the painting is of, should be an ‘odd’ number. That causes your eye to be drawn to the picture, roll around the picture, and then move away from the picture. A frame (or matt) on a picture should NOT be what you notice first (if at all). The picture is the important part; then frame and the matt should complement it, it also should drive your eye into the picture, roll it around and pull your eye out of the picture. Maybe a couple of rectangle items, a square or two, a round or oval [maybe a mirror]. If you plan on hanging a large mirror over the sofa; make sure it is also in scale. Probably from about 1/3rd of the outside back cushions (closet to the center cushion) and over the middle cushion, to about 1/3rd over the other outside cushion. It would be a ‘large’ mirror; you might want to get a professional to hang it; if it means that you would need to use a molly bolt to hold it up. If you ‘use’ anything ‘gold’ … don’t chose anything that is gold-gold; tone it down a little – even if you have to rub a stain over it. You don’t want to look at it and see ‘gold’ frame – you don’t want anything hanging over the picture that draws your eyes away from the room as a whole. You might also want to find something made of the black metal on the coffee table legs; either a lamp (I can’t see what is beside the chair, if anything); but, if you could find a ‘substantial floor lamp’ that might be good. Even if you have to paint a wooden lamp a flat black. I might try to find a side table to go to the right of the chair, so that someone could put a glass on it when sitting there. Maybe a matching table to the coffee table. If you find a wooden floor lamp (maybe at a garage sale, flea market, or even in a store); make sure that the lamp shade is, at least as big in diameter (on the bottom of the shade) as the base on the lamp. You don’t really have to have it be black; but, you do need to have something black to pull out the black metal legs on the coffee table. Most places where you would buy pictures and such, will usually let you bring them home and see if they look like you want them to on the wall. The grouping of the pictures should actually fit in a rectangular imaginary box over the sofa. The sconces, if you use them would be ‘outside’ of the box; but, no further out the directly above the arms of the sofa.
Do you have a TV or something on the wall across from the 3-seater or is this room not used as a ‘den’? If you haven’t bought anything to go on that wall … this piece could also be painted black to bring it all together. Again, you might want to measure the area and start looking at 2nd-hand stores, flea markets, or garage sales; and take the measurements with you. You might find a nice wooden buffet and it could be used to put your TV on and give you storage to hide things like the remotes or a quick place to put things out-of-sight if you are having company and you don’t want it out. A couple of candlesticks or tchotchkes on the coffee table, a few magazine in a fan shape. Remember that ‘scale’ is probably the most important thing you need to keep in mind.
I think you are certainly headed in the right direction. Take another picture of the room from the vantage position from behind the chair or even better from between the sofas where they meet at the end table.

Dear Ladies,
You all are such "jet setters", I just live vicariously through you all:-) I have been remodeling and painting things in my mind, (which causes me to be awake far longer than I should).... They (the medical community) state that if you can't fall asleep in 30 minutes, then you should get back up and do calming things like sip tea, or read, or listen to music. I have a tendency to just organize things, rooms, things I would like to change. It's mentally tiring, but still I was awake to 2 AM doing this! Then from 3-7 AM I tend to sleep really heavy, so I snore. My husband can take my "loud breathing" but when I start to really saw the logs, he nudges me. I always feel so bad about it, and try to re position my neck, my mouth, better, so I don't make noise. He has watched me snore, and I don't stop breathing or anything. I do have (this is TMI now) some mucus in my throat during the night, and hack (so lady-like) that out when I use the bathroom. Anywhoooo.....moving on.
So today is our food bank, and excited about that. Sometimes we eat like Royalty the last week of the month! It's never the same stuff available so its like Christmas, (if Christmas was all food related gifts hahaha). One month I rec'd a whole turkey! I try to either get a steak, or a small chicken. They have a lot of veggies, like big containers from Costco. I will share anything large items with my elderly neighbor. Oh on that front, she was able to pay her rent! She was $300 short on her $400 rent, which I do not know why, nor did I ask. She had rec'd a 72 hour notice from the managers, which was last Thurs or Friday, but she stated that she was able to get a loan from her bank. I was happy about that. I organized her medicines on Friday, so she is set all this week. Not only am I Thrift Queen, but I am Pill Queen too! I wish she had family close by. She does volunteer most every day at Astoria's Historical Society, which probably is the best thing for her. Though I am not fond of the idea of her driving around, she is in control of her life, and if she was at a facility, she would fade really fast, I'm afraid.
We have new neighbors (that we share our living room, bathroom, and bedroom wall with). Renters come and go like the sea breezes here in this complex. This is the 6th neighbor we have had in that apartment! So there is two guys there, and a girlfriend. There was a young boy and girl, but I only hear the girl now. The little girl whines, and talks back to both the boyfriend and Mom. I hear them yelling, "You don't get to talk to me like that!" Over the weekend the Mom was at her wits end, and was just yelling and yelling. She used the F word. At one point, I took my hands and banged the living room wall three times really hard. My husband says its not my business. My banging hands hopefully let her just catch her breath, and think. She left pretty much after that. At one point I heard the little girl say, "I want to go to Grandmas". The guy says, "Well Grandma isn't close anymore, so just get over it". Sad...sad..
Last night I had a largish piece of store bought pizza (1/6th of it). I convinced hahaha, my husband that we deserved to go and get it! With the mistake in the checkbook, I decided that I wanted a piece of pepperoni pizza, with tomatoes on it. So off we went to Fred Meyers, for the Sunday Oregonian $3, two large pizzas $10, one large tomato $1, and a large cheap soda 80 cents. So husband got $20 cashback for the honor dinner tonight, so now we are down to $13 for this week. Easy peasy....we will rock this month. Oh and I made chocolate pudding for dessert last night. I ate my portion while it was still warm..... I only had one glass of cheap coke, so I didn't pay for it digestively last night. And I went to bed at 9:30 PM. Oh also we never bake the whole pizza that we get at the store. My dear husband takes the frozen large pizza and WHACKS it on the side of the counter hahahaha!! So we each had a wedge. I took my four rounds of pepperoni off, put on my three large slices of tomato, a sprinkle of more shredded cheese, and then put the rounds of pepperoni back on. By not baking the whole blasted thing, it sure doesn't make us overeat. Sometimes I need to feel normal, by eating a meal like everyone else. Not that only normal people eat pizza, its that financially eating out is what normal people do. Strange reasoning, but hey that is me!
Well, going to make myself another cuppa. Husband states that the child next door is crying. When I raised my sons, there might be a week that went by that there was nothing to cry about. When they would whine about something, I would put a chair up to where they were trying to pitch a fit about something, and state, "OK its been awhile since I saw a good cry, go for it, this better be good, I'm a-waitin!!" So I would plant my feet down and grin at them in anticipation, and (of course) they would bust out laughing!! I would yell, "What I MISSED it??" Daily crying was pointless with me as their Momma! Because I was both Mom and Dad most of their growing up, I had to be stern too. The Mom in me wanted them to just cry, but then I had to teach them to be tough about it. So lets say if they tripped and fell on the sidewalk, I would hug them and tell them to yell at the sidewalk, "Stop tripping me up, I am trying to get home darn it!!" The emotions of that event would be expelled, and they felt better, even though their knee hurt. Sometimes when they walked they would be sad about something. So I would make the motion of picking something up, then put it to their face. "Is this your smile??, no this one, dang where is your smile, you have dropped it!!" That would start a whole thing of funny faces, and they forgot what thing they were sad about. Of course if they would sad and I could tell it was important, then we would be walking and talking about it. Walking my kids to and from school for all those years was the best thing ever.
OK I am done yakking. ((((hugs)))))

Cheryl in NE IL: I love the photos of you riding!
SueBDew: You and your DH look like you're in the lap of luxury.
Heather: Love the bling trainers! I could spend hours walking down the docks in the harbor, just looking at all of the boats. A dockside table for a meal is perfect. I'm living vicariously though you at this moment. Thank you for sharing!!!! We are having another rainy day here. :grumble:
Marilync1266: I tried kettlebells and was unable to master correct form, so I wrenched myself a bit. I decided to stick with yoga, cycles, and weight machines. :ohwell:
TNToni: Sending hugs and prayers. I'm glad you're back. I hope you will be able to stop by more often. (((HUGS)))
I enjoyed yoga today, and made a big pot of chicken soup after I got home. It is now cooling in the refrigerator but I'm planning to have some for dinner. At DH's request I left out noodles. I'll cook them separately and keep them in dry in their own container so we can add them to our bowls. This way they won't soak up liquid until they turn to mush. DH has good ideas from time to time..

Here's my story and I'm sticking to it :-)
Last July I started to lose weight without trying. This is strange because I have struggled with my weight since I was 10 years old. I also started feeling "off", just kind of out of it, in a fog and I started sleeping more. I already sleep 9 hours a night which I thought was a lot. I knew something was wrong. I talked to my boyfriend and other friends and they didn't seem to think anything was wrong with me. In fact, my boyfriend told me it was Menopause - I told him you don't lose weight when you go through Menopause! I decided to ignore everyone and go to the Dr. in August. Come to find out I was anemic (sp?) and my liver numbers were off. The Dr told me to start taking an Iron supplement and come back for another appt in Sept. Well the 2nd week in Sept I got Shingles - uggh! I had it for about 3 - 4 weeks and I can say I was probably one of the fortunate ones that it did not last too long. After my shingles, I went back to the Dr in October for more blood work. My numbers had gotten worse and I was still losing weight. She ordered a colonoscopy. In November my colonoscopy found that I have Whipple Disease. It is a disease that causes malabsorption of nutrients among other ailments. I had never hear of this and had no idea how I got it. I had to go see an Infectious Disease doctor, have a spinal tap, liver ultrasound, mri and wear a picc line for 2 weeks. The picc line was removed mid January and now I'm on antibiotics for at least a year. In all, I lost 20 lbs. I feel good which is great news! But...I'm gaining my weight back. So far, I have gained 10lbs of the 20lbs I lost. I'm trying really hard to eat healthy but my appetite is out of control and especially for sugar. Maybe this is Menopause :-) lol. Anyway, just wanted to share my story. :-)4 -
Hi all!
Back from my evening out.
I had some lovely food and really enjoyed it, but why does it take so long to get the bill?????? In the end I went to the bar to get it myself.
I had local oysters, salmon tartar, and langoustines with artichoke heart. Yum.
I'm a bit over on calories today, but still within maintenance.
Afterwards I went for another stroll around the harbour to burn a few more. Ended up sitting outside on the quayside by one of the last bars open on a Monday night. Down with the cool kids.
It's been a really good trip, enormously helped by the perfect weather. Couldn't have asked for better.
I do feel a bit bad that I'm blowing most people's budget for the month on this trip. I am very aware that I am very lucky. In the past I had to budget for a new tube of toothpaste, so I have had my fair share of spending most of the night worrying about money. Now I am just grateful that I have the possibility of doing this.
Loved all the vacation photos, girls!

Karen in VA … that is one big goose-egg! Hope she’s feeling better
Becca … my mom always mixed cut up hot dogs with scrambled eggs when I was growing up. We thought it was a treat. Eggs and kielbasa wouldn’t be much different. I'm not certain I could sit idly by while a child is being yelled at ...
Allie … did you wash that man right out of your hair?
Dana … swelling from a blood clot can take years … but it does lessen. So sorry you’re having to deal with this
Joyce … hope you’re feeling better today
Carol … I like the rug a lot! And Lenora ... that was a lot of advice!
Sue … looks like you had a wonderful time on the cruise!
Toni … glad to see you! Sorry you’re having stressful issues in your life …
Heather … you do just fine with selfies! Looks like you’re having a great time!
Long day today at work ... my knees are complaining which is also a sign that I need to get serious about my carbs and exercise. I know I do best when I keep carbs low ... particularly gluten based carbs ... and keep the sugars to a minimum. For some reason I keep baking cookies ... sheesh!

Heather, I appreciate you sharing your trip with us and your beautiful pictures. My oldest daughter is going alone to Greece for 10 days after she receives her Masters Degree May. She has been working so hard and is giving it to herself as a gift. Her boyfriend didn't want to go so she decided she would have more fun going alone. She has several group day tours booked and is so excited. I'm trying not to be scared to death for her. She's going to be 43 soon, I was a grandmother when I was 43. I guess I just have to trust her to be careful.
Love the pictures. I may have to go to France, but if I walked into that pastry shop I'd not fit into the airplane seat to get home

Lisa, Heather, love your pictures. So relaxing.
Only travel I am doing in to doctor's office. He asked me about my back, any bleeding, energy, etc. I then changed the subject to my belly. So we talked about that for a while. I have a follow up appointment with GI doc in the fall and told Dr. C that U would rather that appointment just to be changed to a colonoscopy. He agreed with that and the fact that even though I am not due one for several years, symptoms call for it to be done as soon as it can. So I hope it can be scheduled for the first part of September. Also he ordered blood work for Celiac and IBS and a prescription for Colestid. I looked it up and it is a cholesterol medicine. So far the colon is semi behaving itself today.
Joyce, Indiana2 -
Marilyn sorry about your back. Health issues can make losing weight more difficult. There are a number of things that cause sugar cravings. Gut bacteria off, high triglycerides, stress. Are there things that helped you in the past?2

Hello my lovelies! (Where's Yinka by the way??)
Worked today and will be back tomorrow and possibly Wednesday. They also need me mid-May when one of the employees goes on her honeymoon.
I met with the insurance agent after work - decided not to change Medigap supplements right now. Maybe the first of next year. Didn't realize that we'd have to start over with deductibles, etc. Nice to not have to mess with the insurance companies other than paying the premium right now.
Machka, thank for the info about your allergy testing. I checked into it - this insurance doesn't cover it or the shots unless it's for an allergy for something that will do grave harm like bee stings - anaphylactic shock. Itchy eyes and scratchy throat don't fit the bill. I found some Allergena --homeopathic allergy drops in the cupboard specially formulated for the Pacific Northwest (Zone 8)and will give them a try again....as I recall they did help some last year.
Love all the pictures! Lisa's lake side vacation spot in Arkansas, Heather's cute shoes, lovely outdoor dinner and that pastry shop in France, Cheryl's splendid horse ride and new rug with that gorgeous furniture, Kate & her fabulous DH with their St. George's roses, Dana's DH showing off his mowing skills and Dolly wanting a smooch, Sue and DH on their great SE Asia trip, Pip's new biking gloves and shoes...and I know there are more! Sorry I missed you!
Welcome newbies!!
For those of you flying from a US Airport in the near future, this one's for you
Have a wonderful evening
