    Good afternoon,

    Ray, so good to have you back with the misfits.

    Did anyone say it's cold, shiver me timbers as our weather man says.
    Cold but a beautiful Sunday.

    Stay warm, Nancy

    Good to hear from you Rachael.

    Hello Ladies,

    Connie - Love the new house, its beautiful. I bet you are getting excited and its nice to have everything
    new. Also not far to move from one house to the other.

    Esther - What a great town for all those people to show up and give to the fundraiser. :)
    Sad about the how it happened.

    Janice - We got snow today too, wet snow and yucky. We are getting more all this week. :(

    Ray - Glad you popped in to say hi! We missed you.

    Marie - You seem to like your new eating plan. I hope you get great results.

    Nancy - Your dinner sounded delicious I bet you enjoyed it.

    Our weekend was calm and at home. We have all decorations down now inside and out. The next
    project will be taking the wallpaper down on our accent wall and painting it. My hubby is getting
    little projects done around here little by little.

    I have been doing some cleaning and my usual exercising and meditation. I went to a which was
    supposed to be a group meditation, but I was the only one who made it. Maybe next time there will
    be more people. I did meet a lady from my town who just started meditation, but she didn't stay.

    Just kind of catching up on things and on Tuesday we are going to visit Isaac, our grandson.
    Auntie Kristina baby sat him on Saturday and sent us a video of him, it was so cute.

    Downton Abbey on tonight so I will close and say have a good evening.

    Good morning, losers! Happy Monday!

    It's cold this morning, but at 29 degrees, I am sure it's not as cold as some of you are experiencing! January is supposed to be cold so we have to grin and bear it because it can always be worse. B)

    Despite the cold, I am going to the gym for Aquazumba. Other than that, I just need to run errands and continue purging closets.

    Stay strong, losers! If not now, when?

    It's a beautiful cold morning in my town.
    Planning on a good day with cooking some cabbage/sausage and some rutabaga for my hubby.
    Probably will have the whole neighborhood smelling the stuff!!!
    Will get in my bike time today.

    Good afternoon, it is really cold here, this morning 10 degrees, not counting windchill below 0. I just checked the St Patricks Day thread and it was dead, glad we didn't shut this down for it. I dont have any big plans for today. I need to go to the grocery and pick up a few things, other than that my day is open. Janice

    Brrr its cold here too. Still below freezing at 10am. I really prefer warmer weather. The sun is shining so a much brighter day than yesterday and for that I am thankful.
    I'm doing well with eating and some exercise. I'd like to increase my amount of exercise slowly to avoid injury/burn out.

    Really don't want to leave the house today but my littlest has basketball practice and he loves basketball so one of us will take him. Did my grocery shopping over the weekend so no need for that.

    I like what Connie says: if not now, when?

    @JLoRuthie...I love it, too, Ruthie! I wish I could take credit for it, and I wish I would have asked myself that question 30 years ago.

    Did go to the eye doctor. and all was well go back in May and he may release me. to go back to a local eye doctor.. The one I went to today is a specialist . Jerry and i had a terrible time getting home from North Dallas. since my eyes was dilated i could not help jerry to the roads we needed, Not much help even without being dilated Can;t read the street signs till we get right up on them then to late to tell Jerry what lane to get in. Jerry absolutely goes blank on driving on the unknown or been awhile since we been there.neither one of us knew much about North Dallas. But we made it home.
    "
    If Not Now Then When" it gotta be me Now. no more when about it. Doing real good on the plant base diet this month.

    Marie - congrats on the diet it seems to be working. Stick with it until your next doctor apt. and see
    there are any changes and good results. Good luck.

    Cold here too, icy roads and snow and more snow coming. Winter is finally here!

    Going to see Isaac, my grandson tomorrow. Can't wait to hold him, although he is crawling like
    crazy and wants to get going.

    We are suppose to get more snow overnight and into tomorrow. The sun did come out here and I went to the grocery and picked up some medicine for my husband. I bought some treats Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches, they are great and only 150 calories. This was the first time I have tried them. I stayed under calories today and I need to get back to that everyday. If not now then when, I have came to far to not continue on this year and lose the rest of my weight. Good luck everyone on continued success. Janice

    Good morning, losers! Happy Tuesday!

    Marie..glad you had a good report and that you guys made it home. I can imagine all that traffic in Dallas!

    Shirley..do you have to travel far to see the baby?

    Janice..I love those ice cream sandwiches! Just can't have them in the house anymore. Yes, you have come too far and worked too hard not to finish what you started.

    I am still bouncing between 215-216 and trying to be patient as I have been here for well over a month. I have been going over my diary to see what I need to change. My goal is to be under 200 by summer. On a positive note, the old jeans I can wear now are ones I wore when I weighed around 185-190, so I am shrinking and what I am doing is working. Glad I did not get rid of those jeans!

    No pity pot parties for us, ladies!

    If not now, when? ;)

    I think we have found our mantra for the year (forever?). If not now, when?
    I tell myself that throughout the day and it helps keep me on track.

    It is another cold and sunny morning. I'm a little jealous by the snow some of you are getting.

    Marie, that must have been terrifying to be lost in a big city like that. I always feel badly for people who have to drive through Atlanta. I live here and don't like driving in and around the city.

    Anyone playing the 1.4B lottery tomorrow? Can you believe that number??

    I really like your house Connie. It is beautiful. We are either going to be buying a house or renovating the one we are in the next 2.5 months. I decided yesterday to get on the purge bandwagon. Whether we move or renovate, having less stuff will make both much easier.

    Enjoy the baby today Shirley!!

    Janice, our target had some of the chocolates on sale so I bought a few boxes and have one in the afternoons. Although, I think they might have upset my stomach so I haven't eaten any the last few days. Have you been ok eating the ice cream sandwiches? I have had issues before with "healthy" snacks like those from WW. There must be an ingredient I can't handle.

    Well, gotta get busy!

    Ruthie-The sun came thru, but it was mainly flurries and has already melted from the sun. The cold front has came back and the temps are starting to drop. On the ice cream sandwiches, it didn't bother me, but I have only had one. We have been playing the powerball lately, what a jackpot, its up to 1.5 billion. We had 4 different people nearby in Ky, that won 50, 000 for 4 numbers matching from Satursays drawing. We only buy 1 or 2, to atleast have a chance.

    Connie-It is nice to fit in our old jeans, that we hung on to for years. I have gotten rid of so many things that I wish I hadn't over the years, but its hard keeping all of them. When I did finally fit into some jeans I kept, I really didn't like how they fit, so I finally got rid of them. The good thing about it is, being smaller I have more options of jeans and can be pickier on how they look and feel, and not settle just because they fit and need some jeans. When I was real heavy that happened alot, just because I needed clothes that fit. That is such a good feeling buying things that I really like and fit good. That was a part of why I wanted to lose weight. I need to remember that.

    Marie-Glad you and Jerrry made it home safe, and to hear you got good news from your eye doctor.Where are you today? I hope your feeling okay.

    Gotta go, everyone try to keep warm. Janice

    Brrr, freezing my buns off here. Haha. I got to go out and "enjoy" the roads this morning, they were actually really clean, it was nice. On my way home I had to drive through poor visibility with heavy wind a big snowflakes. Luckily the snow seems to be melting at home though. Ever since I wrecked on black ice several years ago, driving in winter weather is very stressful for me. I have no choice these days though, with school being an hour away due to traffic. And I had an interview this morning, so I may be adding a M-F job to my travel schedule, too.

    Those Skinny Cow ice creams are good, Kroger had them on sale last time I was there.

    Think I'll go turn the heat up so all my kitties don't freeze! Stay warm, everybody!

    Rachel-I hate driving in bad weather, it stresses me out, too. Luckily I don't have to anymore since I am not working outside of the house. I forgot where you moved to, are you liking your new house? We are just getting this really cold and snowy weather, it could last till April. I have had the dog in the garage most of the day with the heat on, he already sleeps all night there in the winter, its just to cold out, especially with no other dog to snuggle with. Good to hear from you, gotta go. Janice

    hi everyone,

    it is so cold here, my dog doesn't want to go out:( his poor little paws are freezing and hurt so much when the salt gets in his paw pads. I would like to get in bed and stay there all day, something I don't think I have ever done except when sick.

    Rachel so good to see you!! hope you are doing well!

    Connie, I am so happy you are able to fit into your skinny jeans, that is a great accomplishment. it really doesn't matter how much you way, I have learned you can way more and be leaner than when you weighed less. I actually had my numbers done today which I have never done before. my body fat percentage was actually really good for me at 22.4%, the rest of my numbers such as my bmi , skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass were all in the normal range which is good news, even if they were toward the higher end of normal.

    I am still up a couple lbs and trying to desperately control my picking while in the kitchen. I am going to try and get in bed early tonight so I can get 7 hours of sleep. I think that helps as well.

    have a good night ladies.
