Paula you can move them into a new folder. Label it legal stuff. If I can do it you can. Then you will free up your inbox. You can make several folders. Think of all the things you can put into them. Emails from Shelley!
Chris my weight is up also. Because I have been bad! I have been lifting more. :drinker:

146.6 this morning at 5:00...yesterday was a typo...I think?? But my weight is still up. Trying hard to do the right things. Hard when fridge talks to you all day. It's nearly empty now.
What are you guys planning for Thanksgiving?
Paula - Shelley is right. I have a bunch of folders...I even think you have to have a DELETE folder to do what I explained above.
It's been 4 weeks since the shot for my arthritis...it is starting to wear off already. I'm a little bummed. It was good while it lasted.
Worked out w/our trainer yesterday. It was a good workout. Working on my pull ups.
TTYL

Chris a co-worker takes shots for his arthritis monthly. He depends on them to even function. He speaks highly of them. I wish we had assisted pull ups. Full body of fall!
Thanksgiving is traditional here, Turkey and all the fixings. I make rolls from scratch every year. I think I would be excommunicated it I didn't!
Shelley0 -
My doc said only three shots a year. Wonder what your coworker's shot is...cortisone? Wonder if I could ask for more. hmmmm.
I get to uses the heavy elastic bands wrapped around the top bar to put my foot in for 10 pull ups. Then I have to just hang without any bands for as long as I can. I'm guessing the next step is to try and pull myself up.
Shelley, does everyone come to your house for Thanksgiving? DDD, SIL and Ronan will be in Disneyland chasing Mickey around. DH and I will have salad then ice cream!
Picking the boys up, playing, then workout w/trainer then lunch then nap then Target. That's my day!!

142.0 Wednesday
142.5 Thursday
now that's a consistent bounce...
will catch up later. luv ya!

I will see if I can find out what type of shots he takes Chris. My daughter and her family will be over. And my sons daughter. But my son and the rest of his family rarely come. They go to her family mostly. I kind of gave up inviting them much.
But this year the mother of his oldest daughter and my daughters daughter is spending Wednesday night with us. Should be fun.
Got to run.

All our schools were closed because of the smoke from the fires. DDD had to work this morning to make sure everyone knew school was closed. It was really thick and heavy today. I did go shopping after R&B were picked up and had an instant headache from it.
We have Bean for the week while they are in D'land. We'll have video talks. The kids love it. We'll get a ton of pictures.
Gotta go now.

They shut down City Hall Friday and gave us the option to take a sick day. I was the only one in our department (until Kelcie came in to do payroll because remote access wasn't working), We played Ed Sheeran X CD and got a lot done.
Did testing and videos with a neighbor and lawyer today. Long day. Tomorrow a mutual friend will serve Derek with divorce papers. I think he gets okay and then another step towards it becoming reality hits and lays him out. He's trying. I really wish he'd fall in love with the perfect person for him. He needs her...
140.5 this morning. Have bought size 6 jeans and (omg!) they fit. Last time I wore size 6 was probably literally elementary school.
Shell, I'm sorry your son doesn't split his time better. My youngest brother was that way with my Mom and it was hard on her.
best to you both,
paula1 -
I am constantly watching those fires in California. Just stay safe you two.
Paula that loss is fantastic! So happy for you. I think it would have been fun to be the only two in the building! And I understand you wanting to move forward in your life. I think I can see Derek's side also. Change is harder as we age. And you are so funny, who wouldn't want to be with you. I hope that someone comes along and catches his eye for you both.
My brother did that to my mom also. It is hurtful. But I just try and MOVE on. It is easier now than when the kids were younger. My daughter told me when the baby was born. She saw it on Facebook! They didn't plan on telling us. We have never been invited to their home. Accept to give advice or help! Glad I have my daughter's family.
Shelley0 -
After my brother divorced & remarried, his new wife included my Mom in EVERYTHING. She is a keeper and a blessing to us all. Hope life goes your way too.
140 this morning. I'm not worried at continued weight loss since there are still a variety of extra pockets of fat - and the way I'm losing now (low-carb fat-burning) is absorbing the excess fat and leaving the muscle. But I am getting ready to call it "done" and get some skin removed. For now, I just tuck the extra stuff in my underwear.
Love you too, Shell (and Chris!)!
paula0 -
I am so happy for you, Paula. You've done so well! When do you get the skin removed? So exciting!
The smoke here is getting better. We had a slight breeze today. Where are those crazy monster winds when we need them?
My family fell apart when I was 13...way too much hate and drama to tell the story. Love those close to you and friends who are there for you.
Love you, Shelley and Paula!! You two are the absolute best!
Chris0 -
Paula I have the ugly skin under my chin. Wish I could tuck it in somewhere! I bet you look great. Rocky mother was the person who kept the family intact. Miss her. I don't think she included us in EVERYTHING though.
We painted the guest room today. Lilac! My mom loves the bright cheery color. It is bright!
Then I put the steps into the large tank. That Fred has been attacking the smaller angel. Turned the lights off for now. Might have to do something drastic tomorrow.

171.8 this morning. Feeling much better after vacation. But dreading returning to work. Retirement is looking better and better. I reach mt MRA in May on my birthday.
I hope everyone is well.
Kathy1 -
Kathy, I love being retired. May will be here before you know it. I don't have to deal with snotty people and I can do just about anything I want. We do Have Ronan in the morning but he makes for a fun day.
146.2 this morning at 7:00. Did I mention Fat Boy has come out with peppermint Fat Boys ice cream sandwiches?? Man!! Only for Christmas time...Limited Edition.
Did I mention we get to sleep in all week? Ronan took his folks to Disneyland.
Having so much fun!!
Chris

He is so gorgeous, Chris.
141.5 today.
Paula0 -
Kathy I know you will love retirement. I bet you will be doing lots of traveling. You know where I live! Hint hint. You are doing great!
Chris love the photo. Ronan is getting so big. Fat Boy has peppermint, just for the holiday. Ok one won't hurt to much. You do need that kind for travelling after all.
Still staying down Paula.
Nice job.
Painted some walls and trim work. Made two pumpkin pies and 4 posts is zucchini bread. Walked the kids and went to the hardware store. Then paid my property taxes. You truly never own it. Taxes and insurance, upkeep and more of the same. Picked up a new scarlet shrimp and some turbo snails. All in quarantine. Fish are all getting along better. More painting tomorrow. Granddaughters coming over tomorrow. Hope they like the paint job. Lilac walls and doors. Pale lilac for the trim and ceiling. My mom wanted it that color. Very cheery!

My friends...the WOO button is BAD not good...it is not a cheer. It notifies MFP to have a look. The face of the button is not a smiley face.
Thanks, my friends. He is my favorite!
Pictures, please, Shelley! You were sooo busy! Made me so tired reading it!
147.2 this morning at 7:00. yuck!
Reading after workout. Eighty-two pages to go!

Just learned out Visa card was hacked for 900.00. Don't know why I decided to check our account today but I did, and MAN!!! So mad! Visa was great about it...cancelled the card and reissuing a new one but what a PIA!
148.0 this morning at 7:30. Another huge number.
Back tomorrow.
Chris1 -
147.6 this morning at 8:00. Sleeping in comes to an end Monday morning. So this number is going to be much higher. **sigh**
Everyone seems to be gone this holiday weekend.
Chris0 -
147.8 this morning at 8:20. bwahahahah...here I go...this holiday is officially over starting tomorrow morning at 5:00.
Hope everyone is okay.

Ketosis SW 178 May 2018
Ketosis CW 142 - easily staying at goal (140-143) for awhile now
A few years ago, I was flat and bony at 138# and wore sz8. After gaining back forty pounds and re-losing it with ketosis, I wear sz6, have fat under my skin, curves and am much healthier. The excess weight must've come off somewhere though - since it wasn't the curves, maybe it was inside around the organs?
Sorry to be a no-show this week, Chris, but got a lot done.
paula1 -
172.0 this morning. I’m surprised it’s not higher. It may go higher in the next few days. I’m with you Paula...the holiday is over. I’m going to be really strict until Christmas. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I certainly did.
I’m going to really push myself to exercise. I need the endorphins to help with the depression and help me sleep. One of my tennis teammates sent me some arms strength training exercises on Pinterest and I am starting this morning as well as getting on my recumbent bike.
Also,I need to organize and make some changes to my house. This is in anticipation of a possible May retirement. A couple of major projects but mostly small things. Keeping busy will help my mood swings...I think. Shelley you had a very busy month. You made me tired!
Chris - I’ve been hacked. It’s an awful feeling. They spent $1300 at an Apple store and smaller amounts at gas stations/convenient stores before it was caught. My credit union was great, but I’m not sure what we can do other than keep a close eye on our accounts.
I hope everyone is well. Let’s have a great December!
Kathy0 -
You know me...I just worry about you guys!
Kathy I was surprised this morning, too! 148.6 I was expecting a lot higher since I'd been sleeping in. Somewhat happy!!
And I'm with Kathy and the cleaning out and exercising for endorphins...all of which I am STILL WAITING FOR...I have even texted the endorphin gods but got no reply. Maybe the 'no reply' business was because I was doing that fist to the clouds move before I sent the text.
We have other cards to use but the one that got hacked was our Disney card and we get Disney Dollars for our purchases that we give to DDD and SIL for their trips to D'land. Plus, you feel so violated. And HOW did they get the number? So angry!
Got a doc's appt for my foot. She's not going to release me. It is still damaged. **sigh**
Okay...that 148.6 number is going down!! Just so you all know.

Chris I have also been there. I really hate thieves. Glad your identity was not stolen. I am so glad you noticed it quickly. Violated is a good description. We had a trailer on our property broke into and out camping gear stolen. Down sleeping bags and a generator even. Then two new bikes from the back yard in a fenced kennel. And the worse was our black lab, Gunner. Get well my friend.
Paula great job. And no worries, we have all been busy.
Kathy my friend. May retirement will be great. Join a gym and get a personal trainer. Group classes are also great. Exercise is great for depression. So are the new friends you will make there. I am going to make December a great month also.
Rocky is looking for a playmate for Libby Lu. He wants a small dog that is going to adopt.

173.2 this morning. Not surprised!
Kathy0 -
Being robbed and hacked is the worst! It is a violation. {{scream}} Your lab, Shelley????!!!!
We were talking about memory loss (my mom etc) and our counsellor mentioned that exercise is the best way to maintain a healthy brain - best motivator ever.
Up for me too, 142.5, but still bouncing in my 140-143 goal range. It'll go down. Had Chinese food last night.
paula1 -
DARN IT! I wrote a long message this morning...must not have hit the POST button.
Shelley!!! Your puppy? Man! I would be so mad.
Anyway...didn't weigh in this morning. For some reason didn't take my midnight meds and could hardly move this morning.
My memory sucks...really bad. Sad when I can't remember things Nick and DDD did when they were little. DDD tells me stories. I guess hitting the asphalt face first after the car hit me did the damage.
Doc is sending me to Physical Therapy...the 4th...then we'll see what happens.
Later my friends.
Chris0 -
Chris, Gunner was mine. He was very sweet. And knew lots of tricks. I hate thieves. They stole my baby. Exercise does help with the memory. And migraines. Learning about my fish and corals makes me exercise my brain. Our college offers free classes to seniors. I plan on taking some when I retire. Not remembering the kids is tough. Hope the physical therapist helps.
Paula ditto on the exercise for memory. Also mental exercise. Learn new things. I love Chinese food. Gunner was my baby. I hate thieves. If I had Chinese food last night my weight would be up.
And speaking of weight, it is up. And now I am feeling a little sick.

Shelley what do you mean you are feeling a little sick?
I am lucky in that I don't get the headache part of a migraine any more. I will get the lights and maybe the hangover but no pain. Thank goodness! They started after the car hit me. Egads!! 55 years of those suckers is quite enough, thank you.
148.6 this morning at 5:00. Ronan and DDD are sick so we won't get him this morning. She is taking to the doc this morning. We might go with them. Poor little guy. Poor DDD.
Chris0 -
I have a cold I think. Hopefully that is all. I don't get the pain nearly like I did before. Sometimes not at all. Hopefully you do not catch what they have. Fingers crossed for you.
