Need to Lose 100 LBS -Robins Thread !

@Newcomers - @Mary @Jimmy @Badwolf, @sistermary - So glad to see you all here.. the point of this is to drop in as often as you can to share your doings as far as exercise and eating.
Here the goal is simply ELMO: Eat Less, Move More. , or as Grandma Kaye puts it, Onward and Downward. One of these days, you'll find your own words that work for you.
We who have been here before you have encountered LOTS of hiccups on our travels through time. So read along, and share the journey.

@GrmaKaye - must have been a shock to your system to hear that diagnosis, even though you know you can handle it. Just one more obnoxious health problem to add to the list...
@Kah - Kelley - thats a great snapshot and they are really treating you with an big honor! Your book sounds intriging.
@Niki - I like you for starting over and abandoning the old gobbldygook. Its good to wipe the slate clean. I've thought of that too - Great Picture. You look so wise.
Thanks for the parchment chicken info - since its online I'll just try googling it and give it a go - I have the parchment and both salmon and chicken so it should be fun, and I'll only be cooking for one. Except when I do the cod, then I'll do 3 pieces at once. I'll holler at you if I fail !!!
@Laurie - I am praying for your father's situation and glad to hear of your mother's change of mind. Also praying for stress relief for you. Maybe the milkshake habit will go away as fast as it came on....At night picture that milkshake and then picture yourself painting a big black X over it.
@Sisternargret - sorry I got your name wrong in my welcoming post, thats very rude of me!
@CBlue - Lori - tough decision, my friend. Good idea to roost off in the woods. Silence, birds, night sky, simple food, a friend. Clear mind. And oh - such neat photos - great macro's of the 'shrooms. I'm thinking of you and wishing you all that you need. See you soon.
@Morgori - love all your daily info but the Computer "Bug" is the BEST!
@Susan - you've been so active here which tells me you are settled in a god place. That's impressive news about Cyrus! Wow such choices!

@Kah - so you chose Bosses Day to have your surgery -you clever vixen! Maybe start checking Craig's List for a soft little footstool (I;ve also seen cheapies at Target that look nice plus easy to shove around) that will fit under your desk at work or depending where at work you need to prop up your foot. I was in a cast at work for a while - ooha, the footrest comes in handy. I tried a pillow on a paper box for a while and that was too cumbersome.

@SisterM - thanks for your words. I've always been the one in the family that tends to the aunties when they get old and ill and I've ended up being HONORED for THAT PRIVILEGE - the time spent with them has always proven special to me, its undefinable, but so rewarding to hear their stories. My client is very smart knows exactly what she does and doesn't want, but I'm very easy going so if she is is sharp with me I'm sure I deserve it!

SisterM - whereabouts are you from? I envy you your peace and quiet....

@mimibpost - Welcome, Mireille - where's Monckton? I'm not placing it (Geography - not a big traveler here unless its the midwest, I live in Nebraska). Yeah, like Lori above says, sometimes a post will do that - you can type something and it just - one wrong key and whoosh its gone. Sometimes I'll actually type a long post in a Word Document and the copy and paste it here.
So Mireille - have you started logging your food here and starting moving more? Did you see the very first page, Page 1? If you are confused, we do suggest following the guidelines there, and we loosely do, but in Summer, people are so active, we do get sloppy and lots of people are absent with vacation and now a lot of people are teachers or parents and are super busy with start of school. When stuff settles down, we do monthly challenges and DO talk more about our goals of ELMM - EAT LESS and MOVE MORE.

@CBlue - Lori - I'm glad your hubby sees fit to escape the house - makes it a bit easier for you and he to just not be around each other doesn't it.......I remember so well.
When I mentioned I'll be working Sundays, just FYI - I won't be working the SUnday you'll be here.... I have a couple of nice places to offer to show you and you can decide how much time you want to be a tourist and how much time you want to rest with your legs up - gosh you sound so darn busy!
Your photo of your walk is Gorgeous! Isn't your new found energy (that you bestowed on yourself by getting fit and losing weight) such a big help!
