    Carol, no, as long as everything together goes no higher than halfway up the inner pot, there are no issues with foaming up. Lots and lots of recipes out there.

    Heather - I so appreciate what you said about eating GOOD food (better than restaurant quality). And eating like French women eat. I think that's the key - being mindful of what goes into our mouths. Make it delicious and special. I also read, when researching cutting back on sugar, to have ONE really scrumptious dessert once a week. Instead of grabbing candy bars and/or cookies each day, make a habit of saving that sugar for a treat (if it even tastes good anymore!).

    That's my goal.

    Heather - I too recall you often enter "copy yesterday" onto the MFP food diary. Since I normally eat the same basic things each day, I just went onto the diary and entered those foods ahead through this Wednesday. I can always subtract them if not eaten at the end of the day, but they are my guide for getting balanced meals and enough fiber and protein.

    Then I'll add in other items. I do not log foods every day. Gave that up when I stopped Weight Watchers, altho I think it helped me at the time.

    I have been very lucky so far that I've been getting enough exercise to burn through overindulgences calorie-wise and not add weight (and tighter jeans mainly!)

    Reading about physical problems some of us and our spouses and family members have which limit their mobility and ability to exercise keeps me getting those walking shoes on in the morning and doing the strength training three times a week. I am very, very grateful I can still do those things.

    Welcome new peeps! You have come to the right place!

    Kelly, was reading about the conference or whatever you went to about children's brains and neurology. It all reminded me of the lady we had hear that was an advocate of children, especially those with special needs due to abuse. I just can't remember her name no matter how hard I try. Been thinking about her for while. She had adopted her nieces or grandchildren. She lived in a beautiful Victorian home. Help! Who was she?

    Well I would say church was good but it was far from normal. You don't usually see some one approach the pastor during the service. But some one walked up the side aisle and whispered to him. Then he stood up and took over the 'deacon moment' and said that one of our men had been found dead. He was a Sunday School teacher and had not arrived for Sunday School. That is highly unusual for this man. Since he was absent for choir also, the preacher sent some one to check on him at his house. This guy was a deacon, Sunday School teacher, minister and filled in for our preacher when he was gone for some reason, choir member and teacher in a local university. He was a real interesting man. He will be missed. Our service was definitely God led since the pastor was shocked and couldn't share any of his emotions with anyone and the service had to be changed without consulting anyone. As far as choir, wow, my other send alto wasn't there, and other main soprano was absent at a craft fair so our second choir row was just 2. Yep, 2 of us. And there were a total of 2 sopranos. So the church director sang soprano with them. She was going to sing 2nd alto with me but she had to switch and sing soprano. So the just few 2 nod alto parts I was on my own.

    Chris, some things worried me about your date. Who was it that had a recent relationship and he was very possessive. When your date had already called for reservations, this reminded me of that guy.

    Ok, my thoughts of the day.

    Joyce     - I think it was Dori who had the unfortunate incident with the possessive/aka stalker type guy. I suppose a good test would be to say "I'm having a colonoscopy next week" and see if he volunteers to be with you during the cleanse, lol. >:)

    Hopefully making reservations for the dinner just meant he had some manners and was thoughtful. B)

    Chris, keep us posted!

    Lanette, Meg - I do eat the same breakfast every day because DH makes it. On holiday it's often a bit different, but I try to keep to the same 330 calories. I add on 100 for the day's semi skimmed milk ration for tea and coffee. Exercise is always copy yesterday, except for Tuesday's yoga. I am currently eating a low calorie early lunch of one slice of bread with a slice of protein and salad. Like Machka, I get hungry at regular intervals, so I eat again around 3 pm. Often avocado and my yogurt cheese. Dinner is my thing and it needs to be good. :D
    Meg - I in no way underestimate the chaos that stress causes to the system, or overwork, poverty or illness. My recent cough threw my alcohol consumption up. Tiredness weakens the resolve and that is when preplanning and strategy can be a life saver. Never rely on willpower, that's my motto. I don't have any! If it wasn't for my DH I doubt I would get into that exercise room each morning. No way. I count myself very lucky. If I were as horrifically busy as my Hove family I would find it so hard to eat properly, but my DS has recently managed to lose 7 lbs through increasing his exercise and cooking nutritious meals. Cooking from scratch can be a tremendous help, which is where planning and prepping when you've got the energy can help. If you rely on what you can do when you are dropping with tiredness, it isn't going to happen. No one is superhuman.

    Going to bed now. Love you all, Heather UK xxxxxxx

    I finally have photos back!! I love looking at all of your photos and missed not seeing them!

    Welcome New55me! Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you would like to be called. Most of us give a name and a general location.

    Looking for a new dishwasher ... the control panel on my very expensive Kitchenaid just fried today. It was the last straw in a long list of breakages and the second time the control module has stopped working (only this one isn't under warranty). Only 6-1/2 years old! Grrrr .... today's appliances are just junk!

    It was Diva from Las Vegas who had the possessive man. Joyce, you're such a sweetheart to express concern. I may have not been clear in what I wrote, but he didn't express any sort of possessiveness. I had suggested the restaurant and the time, he merely had the forthought to make a reservation because that night is extremely busy for restaurants and he wanted to ensure we got a table quickly.

    I binged this evening and badly...chocolate. I have no idea of what came over me, I was possessed. I have since gone upstairs where there is no food. I have gotten up and dusted myself off. Tomorrow is another day.


    Love and hugs.

    Lanette, I needed that laugh! I will keep it in mind if I feel he is getting to close! I agree that I thought he was thoughtful and had manners. Keep that dating advice coming!

    Ok here goes a rant- anyone want to skip it please do...I am just getting home at 7:30 at night from grocery shopping.Sean and Jean didn't show up till 3:30 I guess traffic was bad..I swear to you most of the time I think my SIL thinks of herself.dont get me wrong she is a wonderful person. But geesh.they get home my brother thanks me very much for staying Jean just walks into the bedroom..now somewhere along the line they were going to pay me for watching Faith that has fallen by the wayside and In the last 10 days have watched her 4 nights..
    I am.moving next weekend and she conveniently has scheduled to have there boat taken out of the water up at Lake Winnie. soooo they won't be around next weekend to even bring one box to the condo..
    Ok rant over I will pull up my big girl panties and get over it.I am just hot sweaty and tired.

    Allie, don't feel bad about ranting, you have every right to feel taken advantage of. These are very selfish people. I am in a very pissy mood so I may have to take a drive down there to express my ire and kick them in the *kitten*. She is not a wonderful person if she treats you like that. Ok, rant over.....

    Send them a text something to the effect"I was in such a rush to get to the grocery store I forgot to get my money from you. I'll stop by tomorrow "

    Hello ladies,

    Allie, I would be upset too. Maybe you should be too tired after moving yourself without their help to watch Faith

    New55me and Julie, welcome. You will find this to be a great group who are very supportive. I'm fairly new myself.

    Meg, stress is a killer for any diet. Be kind to yourself. No one gets it right all the time. Be kind to yourself

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

    Good Evening Friends,

    Terry, that is wonderful that the family in PR are okay. I can’t imagine what it must be like there and without power for so long.

    Penny, such beautiful pictures of the cold, cold snow. That is lucky they spotted that tourist on the cliff. Good grief!

    Irish Terrie, so good to see you again. I know we are one gabby group of women, huh? LOL

    Allie, the nice thing about only having to feed yourself is that you can just keep the junk food out of your house. Cook things you can eat for more than one day or freeze some. I hate that Sean and Jean won’t be there to help you move. Who will be with Faith? Moving is very tiring and stressful so take it easy on yourself. (((Hugs)))

    Kelly, you have really had your hands full lately. Sending good thoughts for your MIL.

    CarolGA, sorry about the floors but how exciting to be getting all new.

    Lisa, it sounds like fun playing with your new IP. I have a feeling I’d use one for about a month then put it away and rarely get it out again. I do still keep thinking about one.

    Katla, I can just hear you and your DH saying, “What do you want to do?” “I don’t know, what do you want to do?” LOL Thanks for the giggle.

    Felecia, so glad your son’s presentation went well. I could never have done that at his age and now I don’t mind speaking in front of a crowd at all.

    DanceswithD, welcome. This is a great place for support and information so come often. Please sign each post with the name you want to be called and a location, general or specific. The last day of each month, Barbie will post a link to next month’s edition so be sure to look for that.

    Julie, welcome to you as well. You can do this and then you will feel much younger for sure. Pull up a chair and join right in.

    Joyce, wow that was an unusual service. So sad about the man that passed away.

    Wendy, what beautiful horses. Thanks for sharing.

    Beth, bummer on the dishwasher.

    pretty-pink-welcome-smiley-emoticon.gifto all the 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.

    Went to a Fashion Show at the Women of the Moose today. It was nice but not the turn out that we normally have. DH and DD are just not getting along and can’t seem to have a normal conversation. This keeps me on edge when they are talking just waiting for the explosion. One time she starts it and the next time he does. I keep thinking something will change but so far nothing has. She absolutely can’t afford to live on her own which is what we would all prefer. I just wish they wouldn’t talk but that’s not happening either. Other than them I have no stress in my life. *sigh*


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

    <3Allie , you are too much of an "obliger " You do too much of what others (Sean, Jean, Faith, Tom) expect from you that you have no energy to do what you want for you
