Pip - That is gorgeous in your bikini. If I looked like that I MIGHT post it on FB. lol Having lost 125 lbs at 64 years old, I have a lot of extra skin now. If I stood up and took the pic people would think I was naked for the skin hanging over and covering up the suit lol Gorgeous bright colors in the suit, beautiful against your skin. Very exciting for you I'm sure.0

Thank all of you so much for the encouragement. I have been here now for 30 days, seems hard to believe it went that quickly. I have logged my food everyday. Once I didn't log a snack I ate late at night cuz I was so mad at myself for eating it. All night long I thot what would my "phat chat" ladies think about that. DJ I remember I promised you not to lie to myself). I got up first thing in the morning and added my unplanned snack to my food diary.
To all the newbies welcome. I can't explain it but I now feel as if I have TONS of friends supporting me, backing me and going thru or have been thru, exactly what I am facing. Its a motivator for me. I highly suggest you plan meals and calories for the entire day ahead of time. I have been doing that regularly and logging it in the night before. I very seldom veered off of it and only one day out of 30 did I go over my calories.
Thank you all for being there, I am thankful for all of you.0 -
Pictures from my backyard when I get the chance to lounge. The Astilbe are at their peak so I took a close up.

Pip - Hubba-hubba ! My wish is that we can all look that amazing some day soon (or already do). I recall someone recently put up a before/after photo, and I get the same impression from that photo, too. Congratulations to Everyone ! ! ! Now, I need to check on my chipmonk trap, and maybe play a little Candy Crush while riding my Dad's bike (he took his youngest daughter and eldest great-granddaughter to visit his Mother during lunch at her ALC).
U made me laugh! Haven't heard that saying in a long time0 -

Thanks for all the encouragement! I am so glad I found this group!! Had a cookout yesterday with the family. I tried to eat better...and I did!! I made a low-cal low sugar dessert for everyone and they LOVED it!! Have you ever been kind of selfish about your "diet" food? LOL!! I wanted everyone to eat the Oreo cookie ice cream cake that my mother-in-law brought!! NOW....for the week to come..I have to plan my food and stay away from carbs and sugar!!0

@janetr7476 - I, too, had to get up and post some uncounted calories; ate about 5 ounces of Rainier Cherries in bed last night; and that made me go over my caloric intake. I've had a super sinus infection since Friday morning and when DH went to take his brother home from the hospital I got him to get some more Alka Seltzer - cold and flu; and some Muesenux with Expectorant. I've coughed my fool head off and still not coughing up anything. But, at least my nose is no longer running like a faucet. Or dripping like my kitchen faucet. If I continue coughing like this I will start really hurting. I already sound like a smoking truck driver as it is. I'll be glad when I feel like getting back in the pool.
@margaretturk - pretty flowers. For some reason, this year, I just haven't been in the mood for any flowers.
@terri-mom - I never thought about how much cooler my laptop is now that I have the fan under it. But, it is a lot cooler. I've now got to buy a bag to put them in. My other one is way too small.
@pip - hoping I will have a flat tummy, too, when I get rid of my extra weight. It is getting tighter; and I have lost some of the 'love handles' part of it. I don't have any stretch marks either from being overweight or after both of my sons' births.0 -

Lenora- I use a CPAP too. I find if my sniffles are from allergies, I am better with the CPAP but if it is a cold there is no change. It is tough to unplug the nose enough so that I am not feeling like I am suffocating, though. I use nasal decongestant spray to break everything open. Works better than an oral med and doesn't affect sleep like many oral decongestants do. Wishing you feel better soon!
I used some Metholatium (sp) - in my nose; and of course, that affects the mask; but, I did not care ... I hate to feel like I am being suffocated. I'll usually put my mask on with the bands let out all the way if I have a cold or sinus infection so the air will blow on my nose; but the mask won't get tight. Using decongestant spray as well; but right side is more stopped up the worst.0 -
Pip - Thanks, and I am pleased and my husband tells me every day how proud he is of me. I think that is why I am so determined to keep it off and not gain it back and working on getting toned up now. I've not looked or felt like this in so many years I can hardly remember, never thot it would happen again. I am thankful.
Margaret - Beautiful, beautiful flowers and backyard. Thanks for the pics.
Grits - Guess its a good thing we have friends that we know will give us a well placed swift kick if we don't stay honest.

Gorgeous astilbe. I have never had much luck with them. I even tried making a "bog" with plastic buried under it since they like wet feet. No luck. Oh well. Yours are gorgeous.0

ONE hour; I'm sooooo excited......took Gemma for her dog park outing early, met some different dogs. Just planning a spinach, strawberry and walnut salad for my dinner. DD and DH had Taco Bell. Storms all around again, no rain here (yet).
Terri..........I like Boston Market a lot, but don't get there very often anymore. Was a regular there when DD was in high school. Glad you ran into someone who was so helpful!
Margaret........That astilbe is just breathtaking!!! Bet you have lots of varieties of hosta too.........and yay for you helping out your son.
Janetr........Fabulous that your DH is so helpful and encouraging ........and kudos to you for getting the extra food accounted for. That sort of thing is sooooo easy to let slide (and if it sounds like I'm speaking from personal experience, I'll let you draw your own conclusions).
Welcome newbies, come back, share your life and get to know us!

Katla. I've had a few hummingbirds come to say to hello on my back deck, they are amazing birds, one almost landed on Noel, I wish I had had my camera outside! Sounds like you had an awesome view of the fireworks!!!
Welcome to everyone new!!!!
Wish I had more time, we just had a tremendous thunder and rain storm. Now that it's passed its time to take Ms. Dog out for a nice walk.
Have a wonderful evening!
Hugs,
DeeDee in NC
