barbie happy anniversary, what a lovely way to celebrate

Beth I am hitting the reset button as well--my scale must be a different model than yours cause the numbers are going up It's great that your husband is asking questions.

Hoping to have a restful Saturday!!

Happy Anniversary to both Barbie and Rori~
Believe me it is alot to take in and I will speak with the attorney I spoke with and maybe have a small retainer held with him and see if we can work with the retired judge on mediation... if he is willing to work with me and we can do this neatly and fairly.. I would much rather do it that way then a knock down drag out..

Kate UK

Rori, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Very sorry to hear about your husband's situation. It's so hard to watch them decline. Great big (((hugs))).

Janetr OKC

Did an hour of an Ultimate Weight Training and Cardio workout. Not too impressed, it's just OK. The plan for tomorrow is to ride the recumbant bike

Gloria - wonderful NSV. I'm built the same way, big in the hips, small in the waist.

Sherry - love the minion cartoons

Sharon - I'm so sorry that your sister lost her cat. Could that be possibly why she didn't want to come to the party? In a very short time pets can really get to our hearts. A month is certainly enough time for him/her to have gotten into her heart.

Alison - so sorry you are in pain. Best of luck talking to Tom

goto ...lol taking eyes out...lol

barbie - happy anniversary. Sounds like your anniversary is about as exciting as ours is!

Carol - yesterday was 70, today it's 50. But tomorrow promises to be 60. Go figure

Allie - I agree with pip, have EVERYTHING written down, signed.

Rori - happy birthday! How very sad about your husband. Happy Anniversary, too

Michele in NC

Barbie, happy anniversary, Rori, happy birthday. So sorry of your husbands dementia. From what I have have seen of many patients with dementia, with correct medicine they can still recognize, love and have some what a life as long as well taken care of.

Allie, I'm not sure that was a good conversation. He is still taking control. Am I reading it right in that he still wants to live there with you? Or would you live in Florida until he has it paid off. And how can he be held liable to actually making all payments. But it does sound like he is agreeing to divorce. That is one step and you are able to take a deep breath and sigh of relief.

Sherry, thank you for putting up with us, I am so relieved and grateful you are here. You are here on your terms and that is good. You are getting a double dose of support, here and wherever you are staying. At least I hope you are getting support and love there.

Good evening Ladies.

Trying hard to stay on track to get the 11 lbs. I put on off for good and then try to lose a few more. I wanted to lose around 5 lbs. last year but so much changed in my life it didn't happen. Diligently logging all food and making sure I have some reserve calories for those social situations. I was extremely proud of myself yesterday when I passed on the carrot cake (a favorite) that was offered to me at work. I knew I was seeing a friend for her birthday and had budgeted for only 1 slice for the day and her birthday cake won out. I also nixed the glass of wine in favor of a cup of coffee. Tomorrow will be a challenge, pot luck night at a friend's and I have already chosen from the restaurant menu what I will have on Friday for our book club outing. I baked lemon squares for the pot luck.

I want to get down to Heather's weight. I am an inch shorter.


Pip posted her holiday nails and I'll share mine now (since I wasn't around then).

Love and support to everyone.

Chris in MA where the flu is rampant in my home and I am staying away from everyone

Think I'm gonna steal your design !

NSV - actually made it to the gym, bike and weights....wonders never cease

Allie - please discuss everything with a lawyer to protect your interests. I am recently divorced, albeit living in Canada so laws may be different, but we both had to provide all financials and taxes to our lawyers before arriving at a settlement. Do not sell yourself short just to get it over and done with, you may regret it later on.

Now...on to house cleaning.

Have a great Saturday everyone.

Barb in Edmonton

Allie, I haven't commented on your situation, but I do have a bit of advice re valuing your home. I was a real estate agent for 18 years. If you know a realtor or have a realtor friend, ask for a comparative market analysis. All realtors will provide one for free. If you don't have a friend, then choose one who you can tell is successful and sells a lot. Again, this should be a free service. Don't worry that you aren't really planning to sell; you can say you are considering it and that will be fine. You don't have to mention a divorce or separation unless you choose to.

It would be even better to get 2 or 3 from agents from different brokerages. Zillow (and other internet services) are wonderful for showing listings, but their databases can be very flawed regarding sales. This is something I know from personal experience. I do wish you the very best.

Now, a question about mfp and calories gained from exercise. What do y'all do with these calories? Do you eat them all back? None? A portion? I think the exercise calorie estimates run a little high, so sometimes adjust them downwards by manipulating time, etc. I have my profile setting at "Sedentary", which gives me a 1200 calorie base per day, which goes by REALLY fast. Would love to know how you all handle this -- especially you that are working out on a regular basis.

when I was in the process of loosing weight, I didn't eat any of my calories back.
