California Dream
-Stay in the present and focus on the future. I had to leave everything behind once in a breakup and once I didn't. Financially of course not leaving everything behind was better. But, emotionally leaving everything behind is the best thing in the world. No bad memories are attached to any of the new stuff you get.
I am not one for revenge, but there is a book called the 'Girls of Riyahd' which is written by a modern Saudi women about the modern day life of a group of girls growing up in Saudi Arabia. There is a classic scene of revenge where a girl shows up at the wedding of the boy who jilted her because his family told him not to marry her because of her poor family. The new bride is overweight and plain while the ex-fiancee is beautiful. That's all I will tell you. It is a very good book and worth reading to any of our readers out there.
To all with the 'say no to cake' comments
- I admire you. I've put on 1 pound this month instead of loosing 4, but I'm OK with that. August has been a rough month time and stress wise. This was the potluck week from H _ _ _ at work. Sorry, but there was no other way to say that. I have never seen so many people quit, get laid off or have babies in the same week. Then there where the public kickoff meetings with food and the press to celebrate some very big happenings at the Medical Center where I work. We had 1-2 potlucks everyday! Some were for breakfast and some were for lunch.
Since I work for IT in user support I got invited to each and every single one of them. I did good food wise, just tasted stuff I really, really wanted and I was able to skip ALL the bakery made cakes and everything store bought. I just kept telling myself that if I was going to eat something I shouldn't, it had to be homemade. I only had one piece of cake the whole week and it was a homemade strawberry cream pound cake.
My goal for the last week of August is to get back on track for September.
Happy Saturday all,

Well, I am going to take my own food. And no to cake and yes to health.
Thanks for the words. I really need them. I didn't think I'd have time to write this morning before I left but here I am. And your messages are just what I need. I will come home tonight and hopefully have time to post. I will post that I enjoyed life, family, and that it can be done without the sugar.
My 'other' wide of the family, the boys, are Hispanic and i love them. But they are all about the food and children. They don't understand that I don't eat all the posole, tortillas, and sugar sodas.
But they seem to let me alone without judgement. I just need to show the results of my opinion that I need to eat healthy. Well, gotta go stuff the pinata. be blessed you all, kc0 -
And oh, by the way. I was down two pds this morning on the scale. Probably just water but heh, I'll take anything. Sooner or later it's got to get me where I wanna be.0

Yesterday was our friends' wedding. I finally got to wear the new dress that I bought. I posted a picture of the dress. The wedding was simple----bride, groom, judge, two witnesses, me, and the cat. After the ceremony we went out to dinner. I think I have finally learned how to read the whole menu, ask all the right questions, and order the right stuff.
There was a bottle of Martinelli's sparkling cider to drink to toast the happy couple. I asked to see the bottle and read aloud all the stuff about the award winning apples and read to myself the calorie count before deciding how much I would drink.:laugh: i ordered grilled salmon without the lemon butter and tartar sauce, steamed veggies without the butter, and salad with dressing on the side. Jake ordered the same thing. It was delicious, the company was great, and there were no aftershocks on the scale. :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
We work at the fair again today. Jake will work noon to ten. I'll go for about four hours in the afternoon because we can't leave the dogs for more than about five hours.
:flowerforyou: kc---since I've been taking my own food to events, I've noticed other people doing the same thing. I have two friends who have lost a lot of weight and kept it off for years and both of them bring their own food wherever they go. I think that once you get over the imagined embarrassment, it gets easier and you stop worrying about what people think (or even noticing:laugh: )
The dogs want to go to the dog park so it's time for me to get moving.
hugs to all

:flowerforyou: good evening to all welcome all new friends the good news is i am still going to the right. slowly ... the bad news is i have no comp and donot know when we will be getting another one. we were changing speakers and i plug them in the wrong place and the box went crack and shut down. i have been doing m y notebook writing and its doing ok i sure miss this site. i was happy when one of the children came for a visit tonight and brought there laptop so we could all go on for a few.. i went to the ocean this week and did lots of water walking. boy do the legs feel it. but it was so nice. does anyone do water exercises.. oh will its time so say good night everyone have a safe week and one step a time love debbie and family0

Barbie you look so great. The dress is so becoming on you. You are such an inspiration. I am nearly at your starting weight and hope to get to your now weight sooner or later. No caring what people think is key to doing this. I order what I like, eat what I like and don't eat when I choose and dont care if people say anything or not. I usually just do my own thing and dont bring attention to it and it seems to work. Debbie it was so good to hear from you. Have been missing you. Take care all and keep doing good.

Hi kc--this is what is known as a "freudian slip"--the 'other' "WIDE" of the family, instead of "side", but it sounds like you were right the first time :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: --tortillas, sodas and kids oh my!!
BTW, welcome to the thread. I just caught up on my reading after being AWOL for a couple of days. They have opened up overtime again where I work, for part of this month, so I have been busier than usual.
I am in a holding pattern, but for me, maintaining is almost as big an accomplishment as losing--or so I tell myself:bigsmile:
I have to get back on track, though, as I know I will not come close to my Labor Day goal, and with only 19 weeks until the end of the year, I am going to have to hustle to be close to my end of the year goal of being down 70 lbs in total.
I did get some walking in this week,, about 15 miles. I need to get back to 25 - 30 miles in order to get back to losing 2 lbs a week. This is going to get harder as the days get shorter, because I won't have the option of walking after I get off work in the evening. I guess I will have to dust off my Gazelle.
Barbiecat--great pic!!0 -
Good morning ladies-
I am alive and well, but definitely not slimmer. :ohwell: The summer gets so hectic that mfp goes by the wayside (and it shows :laugh: ). I know you all work, watch grandkids, garden, etc, but I can't seem to juggle that and counting calories let alone writing here.
The summer is flying by. My parents are around during the summer months and we've also spent time visiting my father-in-law several times a week as he recovers from surgery. (Thank goodness for EZ pass).
In addition, we have a pool so we have family pool parties. In fact, my middle son came home this week-end so he could throw a party here yesterday. Fortunately, the weather cooperated.
We've also been babysitting some nieces and nephews and will continue to do so here and there til school starts so no time for computer, etc. It's been a good summer tho and I am so grateful that we continue to be able to spend so much time w/loved ones.
I will try to catch up here now and then, but, realtisically, it will continue to be a zoo here until my youngest leaves in mid-Sept for a semester abroad. Actually, I hope to go too in Oct. Have to see what I can work out as far as a free ticket.
Take care everyone. Hope you are well. Barbie, you look great in your dress!!! :flowerforyou:
Keep up the great work ladies. I will look for you when I can and I hope to get myself under better control.

Good evening Ladies:flowerforyou: Just to start off I must say Barbie you look wonderful. I love the dress and can't wait until the day I can look that good in a dress.:happy: Today I made a pot of home made navy bean soup and boy is it good, low in calories, full of fiber and very filling.:smokin: Tomorrow is weigh in I am hoping that even though my food choices were not very good this week, that all my exercise will at least lose me a pound
Went to the grocery store today and picked up all the things I know I should be eating. Just so happens that just about all of it was on sale:happy: I got boneless, skinless, chicken tenders, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, peaches, bananas, low fat milk, Fiber One Cereal. All the stuff to make the navy bean soup, ( I used low fat ham cubes instead of ham hocks). Came home put away the groceries, started my soup and left it to simmer (with my husband) and went for a 4 mile bike ride. I've already drank my 8 glasses of water for the day. I think my glass wil definitly be overflowing today. Tonight I am going to do the Leslie Sansone 2 mile. I have been doing the 4mile 10 day challenge but I think I needed a break. It has exhausted me, I did something this morning I never do, (unless I am sick) I slept until 10:30:noway:
I didn't go to bed until after 12. But I never sleep more that 6 hours.:frown: Hope everyone has a wonderful (what's left of it) Sunday and remember to :drinker: drink:drinker: drink:drinker: drink that water, Rosemary0 -
Good evening ladies,
It was a great Sunday here. The weather today was so cool for South Louisiana. Not sure of the temp but think it started out in 70's and barely got into 80's. For here in August that is cool. Hubby and I went to breakfast, grocery store, and then mowed lawn. It was so beautiful out. I was done mowing and picking up and a watering can full of garden tools fell right onto my head. I was stunned cause I did not expect it. It really hurt. I am not a wus but it really hurt. I picked it up and then walked up to front of house where hubby was with tears and he told me to go in and put ice, which I did. I left ice on for about an hour. I have a big hickey and my head still hurts. I usually brush things like this off but I am a little paranoid about head injuries with the celebrities that have died recently from head injuries. I am fine but will go to sleep late tonight. I do not feel comfortable going to sleep yet. Other than head injury it was a really great day. Hope you all had good weekend. Lets all start good tomorrow.
Vicki M0 -
Vicki-
So sorry to hear about your head injury. I actually just went thru the head injury protocol today because my friend Linda took a spill this morning and hit her head. She was doing so well, and now she has abrasions on her forehead and side of her face, as well as bruises. The doctor told her she has a black eye to look forward to in the next few days. Unfortunately, she also landed on her right shoulder and broke her collarbone, so she is flying on one wing now, and she is right -handed, so this is going to be a great inconvenience until she heals up.
It probably would have been a good idea for you to be looked at today, but since you didn't, let me pass on some cautionary info. If your pupils become unresponsive to light, or one gets larger than the other, that is a sign of trouble, and requires immediate attention. If you get a sudden severe head pain, ditto, and at least once during the night, you should be awakened to make sure you are responding normally. Also, nausea or vomiting means trouble.
According to the doctor we saw today, in cases of injury, it can take up to 2 days for brain bleeding to start.
I hope you are good as new soon, but if there is ANY chance that something is amiss, I hope you will make time to be checked out on Monday. If you do have a head injury needed treatment the least of your worries will be what your ticker says on MFP!! Take care of yourself!!!
Barb0 -
Well weigh in did not go well:ohwell: I am paying for my food indicresions by pounds :grumble: I am back on the program today. NO MORE sauerkraut, french fries and any of the other things that were on my log in last week that I should have known better than to indulge in.:noway: It is raining cats and dogs so I guess I will be exercising inside today. Everyone have a wonderful Monday, Rosemary
:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: drink that water0 -
Good morning all! My Monday weigh in went well, and I have moved my ticker more in the proper direction. I've got to run off to work now - Here's to smart choices, and have a marvelous Monday!0
-
Wow - where did this weekend go!? It's Monday morning already!
Hope you all had a great weekend.
Oh my - Vicki, take care of yourself and I'm in agreement - you should go get yourself checked out. Hope you're doing better.
I'm off to go do my workout. I'll check back later.
Esther0 -
Just popping in. We're at hubby's Aunt's working on her house for a few days. (Her husband died last summer and her house is falling down around her.) Wonder how many calories THAT will burn? Prolly won't be checking back in until I get home. TTYL! :drinker:0

Hi All,
Barbie, you look so nice and healthy. That dress is really cute. I think I need to go down and buy a dress I plan to get into. Something to strive for. Something really tight so that when December rolls around I can see how much I've lost.
About the cake and Jakes' party. God is soooo good. I prayed for Him to 'change' me. Give me a desire to move on with my health to a slim me.
Well, there were three cakes for each b-child. I ended up helping to serve but as I told my friend, my mind was looking at how delicious it all looked, but the desire to eat it was totally blocked. Thank you God. And all the food was pretty much kept in the house and I was out in the back yard with the jumper and drinks. I didn't even find the time or need to eat my veggie soup.
When I got home I warmed it up and ate peach. And I thought about you all and how I was gonna tell you how good the day went and I got so happy!
The proof is in the next day. Usually I blow it to make up for doing without. But when we left the house, I took a container of my soup and another one of those gorgeous peaches. Everyone had enchilada's at tia Rosa's but not me! I was full on my God inspired miracle soup.:laugh:
Thank you all for responding to me. I believe it was a huge help. kc0 -
Happy Monday-
Barbie- you look fantastic in that dress!
KC-I admire your will power. Everytime you see cake from now on will be easier for you to resist.
Vicki- Please be very careful and get checked out today if you have any symptoms at all. If you can afford to get checked out anyway or at least call a nurse help line and go over what happened and go from there.
My checkin went OK. I didn't loose anything, but I didn't gain anything for August. I am back on track with a well thought out plan for the week.
I'm at work, so I need to make this short.
Jeannie0 -
Thank you all very much for your concerns about my injury. They are very much appreciated. I feel better today but still have headache. I knew to watch for nausea and other stuff. I stayed awake last night until about midnight. Really was afriad to go to sleep but slept well once I fell asleep and I did wake up this morning. My sister works for a doctor and I am going to call or email her to see what he thinks I should do. Normally I would worry that they think I am crazy but with all of the media lately about these things I do worry. I am going to get checked out and let you all know. I feel much better this morning but still slight headache. I am so glad you passed up that cake. Once you do that you feel so good it is so worth it. You go girl. Barb again you are such a good friend. Your friend is so lucky to have you. Wish you had been around here yesterday. Susan you will be surprised at how much you will burn doing that work. It will be worthwhile. To everyone else have a great day and keep up the good work.

:flowerforyou: Vicki,
Glad to hear you are hanging in there, and also that you are going to get a medical opinion on the aftermath of the "Incredible Attack of the Killer Garden Tools"--now there's a book title for you!!:laugh:
From what you said about the nature of your injury, you probably look better than Linda. I stopped on my way home from my morning shift today to see her, and she looks like she went 10 rounds with Joe Frazier. Besides the scrapes on the side of her face and on her forehead, she has developed a BEE-YUU-TI- FULL shiner. She is also sore, especially her shoulder, because of the broken clavicle.
She will be taking it easy for the next few days, which means, I will not be :laugh: :laugh: She is not a demanding person, and very understanding if something can't be dealt with immediately, so that makes it easier.
Today I am back to the lowest weight I have hit so far, so it is time to get going again. I did manage to get some dog walking in this morning, but don't have time to do a proper exercise walk today before I go back to work. Maybe tomorrow.
LaurelF-- I feel you pain. Lets jump back in the wagon together.:flowerforyou:
Barb0 -
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Thank you for all the kind words about my new picture and my new dress. It made up for all the tears I shed as I gave away all my size 16 dresses that I had chosen so carefully over the last many years. I am going to be the speaker at a big meeting in October and the dress will be perfect for that event, as well.
:flowerforyou: Vicki, I'm sorry about your head and glad to hear that you survived the night and will get a professional opinion about the state of your noggin.
:flowerforyou: Mary, congrats on losing another pound.
:flowerforyou: KC I am so excited about your success at all the "food fests" It will continue to get easier until it is simply your nature to decline all those unhealthy foods. I saw the miracle for myself this weekend at the county fair where I was completely disinterested in all the high calorie, high fat foods that everyone was eating.
:flowerforyou: SuzyQ, your hubby's aunt is so fortunate to have you. I think you'll burn a lot of calories working around her place. Besides burning calories, you'll discover muscles you never thought you had.:laugh:
:flowerforyou: Jeannie, having a plan for next week is a great start to renewing your weight loss journey.
:flowerforyou: Laurel, you did some research and learned a lot, and now it's time to go back to doing what you know is best. You can do it.
:flowerforyou: Barb, I hope your friend, Linda, has been properly appreciative of all you've been doing for her. You are the greatest friend.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:
After being on my feet so much at the fair, we came home last night and took a walk. At 8:30 I fell into bed and thought I'd never move again. Of course, with all the water I drank all day, I got up a lot during the night.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I got up at 6:30 this morning and had to race around because I had someone coming to the house at 8, someone to pick up at 8:30 and dance at 9. After a good night's sleep, I feel like a new woman.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Keep up the good work, we can do this.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Barbie0 -
Good evening ladies, :flowerforyou: I am so sorry to hear about all the bumps and bruises,
please be very careful and do keep the doctors appointment. It is so scary when you think of all the people in the news in recent years who have died :sad: due to "bumps on the head" My prayers are with you.
Thank you to all of you for your words of encouragement. :happy: I am back on track. I had one of my chicken packets for dinner tonight 3oz of chicken with green peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, onions and a tablespoon of Knor vegetable soup mix to give it a really yummy 
flavor, wrap well in foil and put in toaster oven for 30 min. chicken was frozen so no need to add liquid. It was so juicy and tender and only about 250 calories. Drank lots of water (lost count after my 4th 16 ounce bottle.) They had meatloaf with macaroni and cheese for lunch at work today...I had 1/2 cup tuna and 6 Town house crackers and then walked around the river. Some days I wish I could just keep on walking instead of going back to work, it just feels so good. Well 5 am is going to come pretty quick think I'll go do the dishes and go to bed. Love and prayers to all, Rosemary
Oh yeah and remember to drink:drinker: drink:drinker: drink:drinker: that water0 -
Well all,
I spent a very busy day paying bills, and getting last minute school stuff. Walked all day long with kids in tow. I took my 'soup' and a peach and stuck like Chuck to my plan. I am quite happy and thankful because I ashed God to change me and He has. And I feel so much better. Kids start school tomorrow. Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee!:laugh: kc0 -
Hi all!
Well I tried the Leslie Sansone 4 mile walk - it's great!! :bigsmile: I think I am going to do the 3 mile though and fit in some free weights in the time. I was pleased that I could do the 4 mile and it is a calorie burner!:bigsmile: If you haven't tried her workouts you might want to give them a go - very easy to master the steps and the time does fly by!
I also bought the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred - my goodness:noway:
I am going to do the Leslie 3 mile workout for 4 weeks and build up some stamina and muscle and then give Jillian's tape a whirl! it looks .uh..intense.........that's the word .... intense
I hope all is well with everyone! have a blessed day! :flowerforyou:

Hello all,
I am off to another very busy day. I am teaching a class at work, my son can't find his white soccer socks (today is his first game, so I have to go buy new ones and get them to him before the game starts), my cat has been missing since Sunday morning and that is just the tip of the iceberg.
This morning I 'bounced' under 160 for the first time in 10 years: 159.8 lbs! That should keep me on track for the day despite the hectic stress.
Have a good Tuesday all,
Jeannie
PS: I think I am going to start trying some of these excercise DVDs through Netflix. Thanks to all for your reviews on what you like and what is working for you.0 -
:flowerforyou: vicki och i hope you feel better. i am at the library and just to see how everyone is and how things are going with you all. i am holding on well i miss this place. my book journalin is going good. my calories are around 1400 and under. welcome all new people good to see you all. ok wil check in again love debbie and family0

Good job Jeannie, I know how excited you must be. Keep it up. Thank you so much Debbie. I am feeling much better. Spot on my head is still sore but getting better. I miss you blogging each day. Hope you get back to it soon. Just took a short nap with kids. Now have to get back to work. Yesterday and today I have been so hungry. Not boredom or just wanting to eat but real hunger. Hope it goes away soon. See you ladies later.

Wow! I am new to this group and have just spent the last 2 hours reading all of your posting from about the 18th! I work in an office and today there is nothing to do and no one around so WHAT A GRACE to have the time to jump into this group. So much inspiration, so much hurt so much compassion and humor! I have so much in common with so many. I am the oldest of 13 children. I was married then widowed when my children (3 daughters) were under 10. I understand pain. I have been overweight since I was a kid so I choose to call this a "NEW DAY" rather than a new diet!:laugh:
After being widowed for 8 years I met and married my present husband whom I love dearly and have been married to him for 16 years:happy:
My father died 3 years ago which was the most devestating thing to me as my mom, dad and I raised the 13 children. I was the oldest of 12 at 8 years old. Confusing? My mother had 3 sets of twins, 1 set of triplets and 4 singles. She's a saint!!!: She is upbeat and carrying on even though she misses dad so much.
I have learned many things during my journey and keeping things as simple as I can is one of them. I am deeply spiritual and love the Lord who has been my constant companion since I can remember
My favorite saying is "God draws straight with crooked lines" as well as "Will this bother me in 100 years from now????" ......... "1 day,( sometimes 1 moment) at a time" ......and "Let Go and Let God"
Being aware of the moment helps you to create the new ones.....looking back can only help if there's a lesson to be learned. Other than that.... living in the past can negate not only your present but your future as well.
To those who ask for prayer....you have them. For those who need hope.....it is MY hope that you find it. :smooched:
Thanks for being here for me 0 -
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
:flowerforyou: Rosemary, your chicken packet sounds wonderful. I wish I had read about it before I put my chicken in a pan that I'll have to wash:laugh: :laugh: I made chicken with a spoonful of Thai green curry sauce (about 38 calories for the sauce, 150 calories for the chicken) along with salad, and peas with pearl onions. Because of our schedule we eat our big meal at noon.
:flowerforyou: HeatherMMB, I'm so glad you found some exercise DVD's that you like. My current favorite is Richard Simmons "Sweatin' to the Oldies" although I haven't used it since the weather got warm. When it gets cold and the days get short, I'll be glad to have some indoor workouts.
:flowerforyou: Jeannie, that is so great about getting under 160. Did it make you want to keep getting on the scale to be sure it was real?:laugh: Keep doing what you're doing and you'll have more red letter days.:bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: Debbie, I'm so sorry you're without your computer. When we were on vacation in June and could only use the computer at the library I felt so lost without all of you. I miss reading your cheery messages every day. Can't wait unitl you're back on line with us again.
:flowerforyou: Vicki, isn't it frustrating to have that old hunger pop up again.....keep pressing on and it will probably go away.....just don't give in to it.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: Birdie, welcome to the 50+ Women. This is a great group. what an interesting family you have. Your mother is lucky to have you and to be so upbeat. Thanks for the inspirational thoughts. My spiritual path has provided a lot of the inspiration for my weight loss journey. Thanks for joining our group. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Jake took the dogs to the dog park while my friend was here visiting. It looks like it might rain so maybe I'll have to drag out my exercise DVDs if I'm going to get any exercise today.
hugs to all

BirdieM-
Welcome.:flowerforyou: After I posted our location on the other thread you started, I was hoping to see you. You bring a philosophical, and spiritual side to our group that will be greatly appreciated by me, and, I think, everyone else.
I should be napping right now, but stopped to post this and say "Welcome"
BTW, saw Linda again today. Now she has TWO shiners. Apparently the impact on her forehead was so intense, her other eye felt the effects. She is very unhappy at not being able to do much. She was just getting used to being up and around again after the pneumonia.
I did find a way to cheer her up and save myself some caloric temptation. Today was a birthday at work, and we have a team member, whom I have nicknamed "the busy baker." She looks for any reason to bring in goodies, and desserts are a specialty. She asked the birthday girl, who looks like she weighs three pounds(!!):laugh: what she would like for her treat, and this person doesn't care for cake (Now THAT is a problem I DON'T have. I never met a cake that I didn't like and wanted to intimately familiar with, especially carrot or chocolate!:laugh: :laugh: )
So in walks Desiree this morning with a giant tray of HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS!! Of course, she offers me one, and I take it and decide I MUST resist, because the ticker finally moved in the right direction this morning, instead of sitting their like a bump on a log. Suddenly, I had a solution. Linda LOVES cinnamon rolls, so I put this one BEHIND my pc monitor, so it would not sit there all morning and "wave" at me
When I arrived at her house, I presented her with my temptation, minus about two inches of a sincle strip of the outer part of the roll. I am not bucking for sainthood, so I figured a taste would be enough to satisfy my curiousity, and it was.
Linda was ecstatic, and I was pleased to have dodged a cinnamon-flavored, frosting-covered "bullet!!":noway:
So long for now, the doggies and a warm bed await me, :yawn: and I have to get up in about an hour to go back to work.:grumble:
Barb0 -
You talk about killing 2 birds with one stone. You saved yourself from the calories and did a good deed! Now both of you benefited!
Don't even talk Carrot cake....my all time favorite. I always said that I was fine with any diet until they brought out CARROT CAKE!!!! Not now! I am concentrating on the positive not the negative like you.
Sunday was my grandaughter's 1st birthday (she's as cute as a button) and I offered to bring the veg tray. Self serving you may think?????ABSOLUTELY:laugh: My daughter didn't have to do the work and I had a healthy choice. I also suggested that my other daughter bring a fruit tray!!! When they brought out the BD Cake I just grabbed a strawberry and smiled. We DO have choices and they can be good ones if we plan in advance.
Birdie
PS But That BD cake sure looked good :laugh:
