    Janetr you look amazing! How long did it take you to lose weight?

    Love Viv <3

    Viv, thank you sweetie, I had gastric bypass surgery almost 7 years ago. Losing happened quickly , about nine months, but the struggle to keep it off is real. Just as anyone else trying to maintain, once the "honeymoon" period is over you have to eat right, and get plenty of exercise, etc. I lost #125 lbs and was up about 20 # 3 years ago and thats when I joined MFP and found this group.

    Just a quick note to remind y'all that discussion of divisive topics should be kept out of the main forums. There is a lot going on in the world right now, and some of those topics have us falling on different sides of the fences. To keep things calm in the community, discussion of divisive topics should be kept to groups. If you'd like to discuss politics or other topics that some feel strongly about, please create a group and invite others to join you there to discuss.

    I hope all is well,
    Em in flip-flops

    Thank you!! I was just about to make the same comment. I get enough election news and views from other sources.

    I had typed some answers to others and got busy and lost them before I posted. Thank you ALL again for welcoming me back so warmly, it's like coming home after a long trip.

    Our good friends and neighbors found out yesterday,that their house cleaner tested positive for Covid on Thursday and she had just been cleaning their house Wednesday for several hous. The neighbor lady is 76 and has been on oxygen for many years. I'm trying not to worry but its not easy.

    Today has been quiet, hubby and I are big football fans so Sundays are full of game watching.

    Have a terrific evening my friends.

    Had an avocado/tomato/red onion on a slice of hearty toast today. 2 cups of coffee, and a fig newton. Today is just a minimal eating day. Yesterday I had a homemade cheeseburger, and was absolutely full for most of the day today! Never did get super hungry.
    Have started taping Holiday Baking shows. Those make me so happy, and less fattening.

    My avocado plant has 6 huge leaves. I move it around the house depending on where the sun hits the carpet. It is so spoiled!
    Hugs ladies!

    I just watched one of the Holiday Baking Shows last week- it was a repeat but had to watch it. The lady that ended up winning is from my home town(it is a very little town so was SHOCKED to see the town name pop up under her name when it was originally on. )

    awesome! I like to see some of the guys put stuff together! I mean that is sexy to see a guy bake stuff hahahaha! I about died when one contestant was making a sauce, with cream, put a spoon in it, and then swiped his finger on the back of the spoon! I was like what the heck! I guess to see if the consistantsy was ok, or if the sugar melted!

    Hi so much time online with online classes and other since 2nd (lighter) lockdown. Weight up.
    I'm still trying. I go out for a walk to the cemetery most days.
    I'm gonna try for a little walk before 8:30 classes and another between class ending at 12:45 and class starting at 2:30...

    Wishing you all a good day.
    Avoiding controversial discussions, Congratulations to those who are happy about the present usa elections and my sympathies to the feeling of one's preferred candidate or party losing, to those who are sad.

    "Get to do"s and "chose well"s
    Chose well: dogs to powerline, livestreamed church, watched STAS Day 12 (two feet up and middle), caught up STAS challenge.
    Bonus: line danced at the port, emailed board meeting reminder and revised minuted..
    Get to do: submit grant pics and receipts, pick up labs, shop for part D, take pics of car, test Bluetooth speaker so can do BB&B or T’ai Chi from voice recordings, make experimental almond paste, declutter sideboard, practice new dances (I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat), A Little Less Broken, One margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Sleeping with the Devil, Nothing but You, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick); prep potato area and raised beds for beets, carrots, parsley root, parsnips, radishes and sow; weed drive again, finish weeding flower bed, mulch flowerbed; invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant naked lady bulbs. Next Wednesday minutes to history. Reward: inventory seeds, plan fall cool season garden, order replenishments
    New Ways November
    8: Find out something new about someone you care about: one of my friends sold her house and is moving to Portland, our line dance teacher is moving to Arizona. Happy for them but selfishly whining and boo hooing for me.
    9:plan a new idea or activity you want to try out this week: Irish Terri’s standing pilates video.

    Good news: line danced two hours at the port, despite cold and windy. Great news: our teacher is reconciling with her husband.
    Not such great news for us, means she’s moving away.

    Terri Brava for the results of sticking to your goals!
    Lisa sending good vibes for Thursday’s appt and quick relief.
    Kelly thankful for your hand rocking those cradles. Stella for President! Thanks for the Suebdew update.
    Lanette I’ll check out the Dr. Fung Youtube videos. To be honest, I don’t think I could either eliminate sugar or fast for more than 12-14 hours. Not motivated enough. :Love: the “Banning Court” home, especially the chimney and porches.
    Tracey does that make you and Lily first cousins, three times removed? Bless those boys’ mother! Another hand that rocked the cradles…

    Feels a little chilly in here, maybe Joe turned the thermostat down to 68 (Katla, Lanette, Fae, Tracey, Beth know you’re laughing and shaking your heads at me.)

    Speaking of Fae, where are you?


    Lighter, lovelies!

    f8qt1s098sxm.gifBarbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
    November: better than October.
    daily: sit with Joe: 8, weigh: 8, steps>5491=6260 vits=8 log=8 CI<CO=7 CI<250<CO=6 Tumble & Shadow 5=7 mfp=8 outside=7 up hill=7
    wkly: T’ai Chi or BB&B x3=0 rx=1 dance=1 clean 30 mins=3.75
    mnthly: board mtg=0 grant=0 20for20=0
    bonus: AF=5 play=0 sew=0
