MARIE - Grayson is adorable and what a happy baby. We are going to see Isaac next week and I can't wait.
Hello
Not much going on here its my rest day but no rest for me I have been busy since I got up. I started with ironing and
then grocery shopping. Some shopping for a couple of Fall tops. Made sauerkraut, sausage and carrots in the crockpot
washed some sheets and still have to make the bed. No exercise its my rest day but I am still busy.
The weather is much warmer today after freezing yesterday we still don't have our furnace on but using a heater
downstairs and the oven upstairs to get the chill off. It is much nicer today.

Marie.........if Jerry was in the Air Force he would have been up north. I want to say Fairbanks. If that's the case Fairbanks is considered believe it or not an arctic desert. Where I am in Ketchikan is a temperate rainforest. If you look at a picture of the state of Alaska the string of islands on the bottom right hand side of the state is all rainforest. In fact we have gotten 112.24 inches of rain so far this year. Now keep in mind May was the driest month ever in the history of the town. Most people can't handle that much rain. But keep in mind in the winter it is the best. Because I don't have to shovel the rain in the winter
I am now killing time between houses. My daughter and her Girl Scout troop are selling nuts and candies to earn money to go to Washington to a horse camp next summer. They are walking the blocks and I just give them a ride to the next block over.

Esther, the quote about no bad weather, just bad clothing came from a woman who lives in Norway....I think I'm with you about all that rain being too much. 0 -

Good morning, losers! Happy Monday!
Marie..your grandson is so cute!
Steph..good to see you..your daughter driving now can be a blessing and a curse! I remember those days!
We are fine..just stuck in the house and having to boil drinking water. Luckily, we have bottled water and ice and the power is on. Many areas in other parts of the city have no running water. I am going to do a walking DVD to get some exercise in today. My knee is achy but feels okay when I walk..maybe it's just the damp weather.
Make it a great day, losers! Stay strong!

Connie thanks for the update I did see some news and it looks awful take care my sweet.
I am just wondering what the kitties will do when it rain here Since they go out by thyself now.
Steph good to see you post everyday now. You don't have a crock pot? I could not live without one I ave 4 of them/ 2 small ones which I used mostly and 2 large one; like using them for I do not have to keep a close eye on the pot and don't burn things. . Did you give up on the one one plan? My goodness I did not realized your daughter is old enough to start her driving lesson.
Barbie I know you dress for the weather Have been for quite a few years now.
Have a great day everybody

Hey!! I know it's been awhile since I posted just been very busy traveling and studying. My weight has been going up and down the same 7 lbs. Hoping to get things back in control and not continue to gain weight I've already lost!
Hope everyone doing great. I'm in the Virginia Beach area so it's been raining a lot here.0 -

Cristina welcome back! Lovely women in your pictures. Beautiful smiles.
I know what you mean about the weight going up and down I am having the same problem. I started drinking a detox drink
in the morning with aloe vera juice and hope to get some things moving. I am still trying to lose my summer weight.
Yoga class today, tomorrow and Wednesday because we are leaving Thursday to go to the cottage for our
Canadian Thanksgiving. We will be babysiting my grandson Isaac on Thursday night and then leaving the next
morning. My oldest daugher Kristina will be joining us along with my MIL. I have booked a yoga class on
Saturday for my daughter and myself to do.
I hope everyone has a good week and stay positive.
Shirley0 -
Thank you Shirley! I have joined a women's boot camp that goes 3 days a week and a Kickboxing gym that I can go to whenever I want so I hope to loose inches at least. My goal right now is to be consistent and eat healthy foods! I've even been getting up working out on my home elliptical machine.
I hope you enjoy your Canadian Thanksgiving trip at the cottage!0 -
Cristina so wonderful to hear from you And what a lovely bunch of ladies you are sharing the screen with.
Shirley have a wonderful thanksgiving with your family.
Alice is going out of town for Thanksgiving and she is the one that cooks Thanksgiving. so waiting to see what Kathy is going to do. Maybe we will have Dinner out in the cow pasture. But whatever Jerry and I will have dinner somewhere. May just buy a dinner from Kroger And Walmart make a great Loaded potato salad that I just love.
See you guys
Connie be careful if you get out.
Marie0 -
Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Tuesday!
Cristina...good to see you back with us!
Marie..good morning!
Sunshine and blue skies today! I have exercised and after breakfast and dog walking, I plan to get out of this house. Schools and some businesses are still closed. I had a dentist appointment today, but there is no running water in their building, so will have to reschedule. It's a blessing that the northeastern area we live in was not compromised in any way.
I hope all of you have a wonderful, productive day.
Stay strong!
Connie0 -
good morning everyone,
Christina, nice to see you!! beautiful daughter!!
Marie, cutest grandson!
Connie, that's to bad about the dentist! I hate going but would like to get it over with....hope everything is returning back to normal.
I am still sitting at the same weight as last week. I think I need to vary my meals a bit. seems to help. any new ideas?
have a great day!

I had Yoga with a different instructor, a young girl just starting out. It was supposed to be a beginning class but
she saw we were all experinced Yogies she ran us through the paces. A good workout today!
After class I went to visit my MIL who is 89 and still doing well.
Cristina - Good luck with the elliptical it should get things moving for you too!
Shirley0 -

hi all,
I am still bouncing around the 146's, goal is to see 145 by end of this week! hope everyone is having a good day! I have already had a busy morning. my daughter had early practice so to the high school by 6. she left all her clothes at home so back to the high school at 6:15. then realized, she forgot to pack underwear!! ughh!! silly stuff to get annoyed about, right:)
have a great day everyone!
Stephanie0 -
Good morning folks. Cristina great having you back with us Barbie I got my flu shot last week and my arm is just getting over it.. I love your graphic of the kittie wit a pretty flowers.
I am posting my menu on the One one group. now till I get tired of it nobody seems to be posting there now so I thought that would be a good place for me to post my menu so I would not bore anyone else. I may try the food chart out again if I can keep up with it.
Have a great day
Marie

Hi Misfits, I just wrote a post and something happened to it, so aggravating. Not much going on today, just the normal house cleaning and laundry. I may go to the nursing home, later. I hope everyone has a good day. Gotta go, the day is flying by. Janice0

good nite Connie and the rest of you misfit I did mot see your post!0

It's been a few days from me guys sorry about that!!
So the Chinese wedding was good but weird experience! It lacked a bit soul and love in my opinion but that may just be a reflection of the couple (don't know them that well)!
It was a good experience and totally different from a western wedding!
I took the plunge a signed up to a nutritionist. He has given me a set diet to follow and there is so much food!! I think it looks like your plan Connie ie eating more to reset my metabolism. I have practiced a few of the receipts and start cycle 1 on Monday for 1 month!
The exercises he has advised are part of the HIIT programme. Which is 30 seconds flat out (be it running/bike/rowing/burpees etc) and then 30-45 seconds rest and then repeat 12-15 times!
Apparently it works - will keep you updated!
Have a good one losers

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Thursday!
Faye..that exercise is intense! I am still hovering around the same numbers AGAIN but will just keep plugging along. I refuse to cut my cals below my basal metabolism which is around 1600.
Hope everyone is doing well. I have a dental appointment this morning and will return later.

hi all,
oh faye, that is great!! it is nice when you have some accountability. it keeps me on track for a bit but eventually I vere off because that is what I do, lol!! would love to hear about what you are eating.
connie, stay strong!! I think it is the right thing to eat more calories. even if it is slow, if you cut too low, what happens when you want to maintain? I am still a decent 10lbs away from where I want to be. slow and steady wins the race!
everyone have a great day!!!
Stephanie0 -
Good morning misfits,
Just checking in!!! Hope everyone is doing ok.
I'm in a mode of disgust!!! Just want to throw in the towel
but I know that is not an option. Going into 10 months and
I am just about where I started????
Nancy0 -
Well I have cut my calories and I am feeling great. We are all built different. I don't do any xercise so I don't need much My body has slow down and so should I. I am eating 3 meals a day and I am not counting calories. I have gone back to one protein. one, fat, 1carbs and really not counting those as long as I get a dose of them 3 times a day. and if needed need at night. . I am posting my meals on One One One group. And I seem to have it all to myself Just call me the odd man out. I may not be able to stick with it But I do want to give it a try. Like a hundreds of other diets. I always thought the one one was a good plan. But it did not work for me on the book plan Maybe this will. I am looking forward to my chile home made pinto beans and a big serving of apple, grapes cole slaw I will get my 3's...... Fat, Carb, and protein. on it. and that is what I am shooting for. I am happy to see the scales droping not fast and I am not starving myself. So who says we need to stuff our tummies.
Connie I see you may have more rain coming your way. I hope not as bad as te 1,000 year one you just had.
Nancy I know exactly how you fill I did lose 11 lbs this year tho. Up and down all year. I weigh 193 this morning and this time last year it was 203/ I got a couple months to go for a Year so maybe I can change that. That number...I wish I wish............
Marie
I know we should not depend on numbers but about we feel. But in my books numbers does count and I want to get them down..
now I will quite my belly aching

Nancy-That sounds very frustrating, I hope you find a solution to help you lose some weight. I have lost very slowly this year, compared to last year. But I have lost 12 pounds, so I'm not really upset. I have ate more, so thats a good reason why my loss has been low. Cheer up, atleast you aren't gaining.
I visited my sister at nursing home today, I took her a frosty and a chicken sandwich, she aint all of the frosty and most of the chicken sandwich. She still weighs only 99 pounds, thats why we take her food, even though she is given regular meals. I will check back later. Janice0 -
Nancy..I feel your pain. It will be a year for me in December and I have two more pounds to make it to 20 pounds lost. This is unreal. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. But, like Janice says..it's better than gaining!
Marie..we are so blessed that we are not in the area where homes were flooded. We are still drinking bottled water..my dentist had to have distilled water tanks installed to be able to do procedures. (I checked before I went! ) I'll come over to the One One One group and say hello.
Janice..what kinds of things did you do last year to help you lose? I know your sis was glad to see you today.
I guess we can add "slow losers" to our misfit title!
Connie0 -
I think one of the things is, I didn't use exercise calories to eat more like I do now. I didn't exercise very much and I didn't count all my exercise, like I do with my fit gear, I only counted true exercise. Plus I just eat more calories, and eat out alittle. Alot of time I was happy to stay the same instead of gaining. Luckily slowly but surely it came down. I logged all calories every day.
Connie-I am so glad you are not flooded. Is the area your building flooded? I hope not. Is that 20 for the year? Thats good either way, especially on your legs. Gettibg tired. Janice
