I make the cranberry sauce for the recipe on the bag or just wing it. This year I did regular and one with Splenda. My uncle loved both.
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a very busy day. Got all my exercise but my main workout done. Had over 15,000 steps by 10 am. That never happens. Took Mom to her appointment. Stopped at McDonald's for my free med fries and 2 small hot choclates that I won. Ate the fries on the walk home as I was running late for work. Good thing I only work 2 doors down from my house. Work today was more wall washing. Called my TOPS ride to make arrangements to see her Friday to see her apartment and talk about how much I will charge her for cleaning. My standard is $25/hr but I do make exceptions. As she drives Mom and I to and from TOPS and doesn't charge us I plan to give her a discount.1 -

@SusanM18MFP ,, I've made it from the bag. Its really good with just half the sugar, and not even any of the kids complained so I doubt if they noticed.
@Jadepearl ,, Indeed meds and or health conditions surely make a difference. As said it was 10 years, but 10 years I had ,, because here I am today! If I'd not of lost it would I be here today? It's on the doubtful side. I had a stroke in 2012, I fully recovered (LOL As far as I am concerned) a brain aneurysm surgery to put in a stent before it ruptured (YO That's so AWESOME they found it accidently) and now I am in congestive heart failure, there's no doubt that'd be so much worse if I'd not of lost the weight. I was a diabetic, well I'll always carry that label, and it does still affect my body. So the meds for the heart failure alone, and to keep the blood flowing through the stent in my brain do of course have their side effects, but they also keep us alive. I am so happy you are alive and here also. Sometimes I need to remind myself of where I'd be without the meds, would I be? Indeed that makes me happy they have them.
@CSEGUIN2 ,,, LOTS of steps!! YO!! Hey congrats!! WOW You easily burned off the calories!! Such a nice arrangement of cleaning/ rides!!

I make my cranberry sauce using orange juice - maybe 1 cup of juice to about 3cups of cranberries and no more than 1/3 cup of sugar. I toss in some ginger and cinnamon. Takes very little time on the stove and it's NOT too sweet. Just have to cook it until the skins pop and it will thicken as it cools.
To those who are celebrating tomorrow:

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Started this morning blowing leaves of the porches and mulching the ones in the yard. Got our morning walk in just before lunch. When hubby went to work I headed over to tend our friend's horses. One is a bit pushy, so he got his cookie last. Then headed home to clean and get everything ready to cook in the morning.
Wishing everyone a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving.1 -
So grateful for the Winter challenge and this wonderful team!! I was out of town and almost completely missed the sign up.
Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating today!!

Good morning 😊
How are you guys today? How's your Thanksgiving? It's going to be Summer for us soon, 1st December. Have seen listening to the news and it says we will be having a cooler but wetter Summer due to La Nina. Don't really like hot weather do if its going to be cooler, I will take it. So, it might be a rainy Christmas this year🎄☔
Have a wonderful Friday ❤️0 -

@Jadepearl indeed we will keep on fighting. Sometimes it's tiring (Weds was such) thankfully a good nights sleep and I am okay again. I've been on Sparks/MFP for very close now to 12 years and through this time (all, but 1 challenge as a leader) I've easily noticed that those who lose slowly tend to have an easier time keeping it off. I always reminded myself "if I weren't trying imagine what I'd weigh now!" and that helps too. Where do you live? Here its headed into winter,,, LOL I LOVE WINTER!! I LOVE SNOW!! I LOVE COLD usually, but I think it's bothering my breathing, but even if so I LOVE WINTER!!
@Walla_walla ,,, LOVE Your sense of humor!! LOL2 -

Hugs! ❤️ Thankfully, a good night sleep did the trick. 😴 My bad day was today as my vertigo came back with a bang. Do, had to break my IF fast and ate lots of carbs. It helps with my vertigo. Am from Down Under (Australia)🇦🇺. Where are you from?

Hi Team! Quick check in before I run errands and tackle house chores.
I am working harder this week to nudge the scale in the right direction.
1) I made several servings of homemade Just Crack an Egg to have on hand. Love how quick, easy, tasty and filling they are.
2) Exercise - Will do new YouTube strength exercises, and a short hike with Rebel Darling.
3) Donate more clothes that are too big - how I reward myself for weight loss.
What are your weekend plans?

Hello team! what a quiet and glorious day it is today. Of course I have no idea of the temperature outside or the amount of people out there shopping because I am staying in my house where it is safe and warm. When I think of the day after Thanksgiving shopping or (Black Friday)....
Have a fabulous day!!

Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a good day but had a rough start. The dog kept me up from 3 am on. Didn't roll out of bed until 7:30. From that point on the day stayed mostly on track. On my way to meet with the lady I will be cleaning for I ran a couple errands and found a workout shirt on sale for $4 in medium. Haven't tried it on yet. Spent about 3 hours with the lady talking about the cleaning and other random things. It was a great visit. So my afternoon is a little off but nothing major. Plan to do some more crafting. As I try to get as much done as I can each day.1 -

Have a good weekend all!

It was so cold here this morning with wind blowing all day. I was one of those working today but it wasn't bad. We didn't have many customers until after lunch and then it happened. I only work part time so four hours wasn' t a killer. Hope all have a wonderful weekend!

@NovemberGail ,,, Ohhhh 18 is COLD INDEED!!! ALL AROUND us tonight are getting their FIRST SNOW!! To the North, West AND EVEN THE SOUTH!! BUT WE STILL HAVE RAIN!! SIGH!! If it changes over,, I MAY see it. But of course it'll not stay for any of us in Southern Maine. WAHHHHHH I WANT MY SNOW TOO!! I'll SHARE with you!
@Golfma4 ,,, I live really close to the grocery store where last year I was working. ITs STILL A FOOLISH ZOO!! LOL Last year we were caught OFF guard, this year, it's so hard to get help.

Aussies just love the American accent 
Ah, I know where Maine is. Have cousins who live in US and they told me that the lobsters in Maine is out of this world and they also told me that donut hole is invented in Maine. 
How interesting and amazing that you can go right on the Atlantic Ocean before Canada. Have a wonderful weekend! 0 -

Good afternoon,
It suppose to rain hard today but instead only spitting rain. Still, can't dry our clothes outside. So another day of using our clothes dryer. I prefer to hang our clothes out to dry in the sun but I guess this Summer, it would be hard if the La Nina brings wetter weather. DH wanted Indian food today and that's what we had. Didn't do that well this week. Weighed in today and I gained
Hope you guys did better than little old me.
Have a wonderful weekend 3 -
