Wendy, welcome back! You exude health and happiness! Bo Derek doesn't have nothing on you, you're like a 20! (Hopefully you remember the movie she was in "10"). Heehee!

Janetr, yep don't worry, type away. I did get a warning when I posted all my military pictures, and after I clicked post reply it said something like " post has to be reviewed, will post later". Then the post disappeared! I checked back later and it had posted. That's why I kind of told the same story twice. I thought the first one was lost.

Evelyn, Way to go girl! You are on a roll and I’m sure it will continue.
Becca, ((Hugs))

Gonna get Kirby’s hair cut tomorrow, will show pics4 -
The egg bites were fabulous! I had one and a quarter With a lovely flat bean and tomato salad. DH pronounced them "delicious" and said, "you can make them again."
We have one left for his lunch tomorrow. Apparently they reheat well in the microwave.
I calculate each one at 275 calories.

Becca, I do hope a cause can be found for your issues! Does NOT sound like fun!
Thanks for the support ladies!

That happens to me once in a while if I post something with numbers ... like my exercise stats.
I asked the mods about it a year ago or so, and they told me that spammers often include long sets of numbers embedded somewhere in their spam posts, and so sometimes a post with a lot of numbers will be "flagged" by MFP's automatic checking system.
If the names of your photos had a lot of numbers, that could be why you got that message.

Janet-Please don't be afraid to post! Just chat like normal. I am thinking we can still share our books we read, movies, photos of our kids and grandkids, scenery, animals we love, etc. You can even show us your artwork! Perhaps we can use the group site that Lisa set up to post links to other things? And like we always do, when it is needed, just message each other our personal info if we need it.
If we did go to a Group, this is one option ...
We could still have monthly threads set up by Barbie as usual, in the Group. It would be no different except that it would be in a Group instead of in Motivation and Support.
Then over here in Motivation and Support, we might be able to post reminders that we've got the Group, and inviting women over 50 to join us.
In the Group, we could even have threads by category, like:
Arts&Crafts
Kids&Grandkids
Exercise We Do
or whatever.
Just tossing some ideas out there.
I joined the Group Lisa created for us ... and while I was there, I joined a couple other Groups as well.

Hello ladies: Got groceries bought this morning and the market was really crowded. The doctor put me on an old antibiotic for the Eustachian tube infection and the pills are huge. I could not swallow it without breaking it in half. Missed my water exercise this morning because of running errands so will do a tape at home today. Eating lots of yogurt to try to avoid yeast infection due to antibiotic.
Terry - So proud of you making it to onederland! I am at 204 right now and it seems those few pounds to lose to get below 200 are just horrendous.
Wendy - Love the hairdo and the pictures. Glad the critters survived without you but bet they are happy you are back.
Becca - Sending healing angels to you. Hope you feel better soon.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA0 -

Congrats Terry, you are on a roll!!2

Hello ladies! Well, it’s been forever since I posted here but, I still check in and read when I can.
So my youngest is a high school senior while my other to kiddos are in college on the east coast. Both are flying home tonight for Thanksgiving week. So excited to have everyone home together for 7 whole days!
My hubby continues to work from home and is much happier. It was an adjustment but I think we’ve come through the worst of it. Lol!
So my weight loss stalled then I climb to my highest weight yet. Totally disgusted with my self I turned to weight watchers again! I need the accountability in a BAD way. Started August 31st and have lost 12lbs. It’s about a lb a week. I’m just now back to my previous highest weight which is frustrating that I had to start all over. I know calories in calories out and don’t ever give up.
So that’s my life. Work for me is going well. I’ve cut back to 3 days a week.

Yeah Terry!!. Congrats on making it to Onederland!!

Heather: The Starbucks Sous Vide Egg Bites look wonderful. I will likely never get to enjoy one. I can eat all the eggs I want, but no cream thanks to lactose intolerance. Cheese is something I can eat & thinking about cream cheese . . . I may get into serious trouble here. :devil:
Becca: I hope you quickly get over whatever malady is making you ill. (((hugs)))
Pip: Looking forward to the haircut photo of Kirby.
Terry: CONGRATULATIONS!!!
We've been out appliance shopping today and found a dishwasher that will do nicely. On the other hand we have a microwave/oven combo that has serious issues including a giant crack in the oven door. I think I may prefer to keep on with our old dishwasher for a while and consider replacing the microwave/oven. We'll need to go back to the appliance store and see what the price range looks like.

Rosie - welcome back! A pound a week is great!! WW does work - kept me in line (sort of, I reached my "highest" several times as well after going on hiatus) for many years then they no longer had meetings near me and I didn't get along with their new website last year.
What I like about this group is that I finally am getting serious about exercise and strength training which helps maintenance immensely.
Glad your DH's work at home is going well and good for you cutting back to 3 days a week. Enjoy turkey day (week, lol) with the kids!!

KarenNY- you look fantastic! Love the haircut!2

Karen, you haircut is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Terry- so proud of you, keep up the great work. Bottle that memory and keep it in your pocket to remind you how wonderful you felt!!!
Okie- so sorry for your loss. Take time to grieve.
Becca- so sorry you are ill. I miss your posts.
HELP. I cannot post on my newsfeed. I tried to email MFP but for some reason no response. Any ideas?
Lisa - is there a way to bookmark your blog?
Company coming in tomorrow nite so I have lots to do tomorrow.
The place on my back that the dermatologist cut two weeks ago is still so sore. My DH says it is really a big hole. No cancer but a part of a cyst was left in when a procedure was done to remove a cyst.

I've had a 'great' couple of days. Totally lost yesterday. Don't remember it at all. Four seizures on Wednesday. I don't know what I am doing. I guess I am lucky I am not dead.0

Did a step aerobics DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a 10 pounds down DVD.
I wonder if any of the forums rules apply to my offering DVD's for the price of the shipping? I'm not making a profit. I don't think so. Oh, BTW, I still have the "Lift Weights to Lose Weight" DVD if anyone is interested. Postage is usually a little less than $3. Just PM me if you are interested.
janetr - why are you afraid you'd get in trouble? For what?
Wendy - glad you had such a wonderful time. Thanks for posting those pics. There is no way on this green earth that I'd ever wear a two piece. I hand it to you. Then again, with your figure, you can get away with it. Welcome back!
Ordered chocolate peeps for Vince for Christmas and his Grumpy Cat desk calendar. Hey, with my points, the calendar was free!
Jess told me last night that we're not going to her friend's house for T-day when we get to VA like we did last year. Wish she had checked with the friend before she told me that we were to go. I had things bought for the stuffing that I was going to take up, I have to return them now, I made cookies, but I'll probably just take them up to Jess'. This is such a pain, to have to return things.
I really need to get my hair cut, just don't know when I can get it done. I would like to get it cut before T-day, but I'm not sure that can happen.
Great job Terry!!!! Doing a happy dance for you
Heather - yuk!!!!
As far as groups vs. clubs -- my "concern" is if I post something like "we're leaving for xxx tomorrow and will be gone a week", you're right, M, in that it's out there for everyone to see. That's like telling someone "no one will be home so it'll be ok to rob the house" but at the same time I really like the feel of the way it is now. Is there some way to circumvent that? I know that if someone doesn't check in every few days, I get concerned. I love all the wonderful ideas
Someone posted about the good price that WalMart was having on the IP on Black Friday. What was the price? Hope they'll offer it online.
NYKaren - great haircut!
Lenora - oh, dear, four seizures. Do you know what triggers them?
Exercised, went to Aldi since my shopping list for there was getting quite long. Returned things at Ollies that I'd bought to make things to take to a friend of Jess' who Jess told me we were going to their house after we came up on T day but now tells me that they're going out of the country. Went to Food Lion to exchange some of the spaghetti I got for noodles for the mac & cheese I'll take to Jess. Helped Vince put up the arches for Christmas. Had dinner then went to Lowes Hardware since Vince wanted this certain cotton "snow" for downstairs, then to WalMart for only 3 thnigs, then Sam's since Vince wanted batteries and I wanted to look for spanakopita. They had it, and I also saw some crab rangoon and some brea bites that I got thinking I can use them for Christmas Eve.

Lenora: Worried about you! Are you seeing a doctor about the seizures?
Terry: Can you hear me cheering for you??? Fantastic progress. Keep it up.
Wendy: Your braids are awesome. How long did it take to get them done? So glad the animals are okay.
KarenNY: Your hair looks beautiful. I will be up in Briarcliff Manor, but scheduled so tight that I don't think we'll be able to connect this time. I'll be back in February.
New caregiver who came yesterday was a sweetie. She has been working for 2 years in a day care facility, and only recently made the switch to home care. DH regaled her with his stories, and she was attentive and kind. And, she likes cooking, so hoping I can get her to fit us into her busy schedule for occasional care, especially the days I'm out of town.
I took today off thinking I'd get a jump on the grocery shopping crowd. WRONG! Everyone seemed to have the same idea. The weather was a balmy 70 degrees, which is crazy for this time in November. No complaints. I am planning to take off every Friday between now and the end of the year. Can't tell you how excited I am about that.
Stay well friends. We can do this.

KarenNY That is a dynamite haircut. You look fabulous!
Terry Congrats on Onederland!
Wendy Love the braids. You are lovely. Glad all the critters survived. Sounds like your daughters did a good job while you were gone.
Heather For a minute I thought I had somehow missed that you had a Bluetooth InstantPot, because you were doing sous vide! Then I read the recipe for the eggs and realized you use the steam setting on your IP to make the eggs. Sounds delicious.
We did some Thanksgiving shopping today. Nice to get part of it out of the way early.

Can’t wait for you to join me in “onederland”! Yes those last few lbs to get there are so stubborn. Hang in there, you’ll make it. I’ll be scared to get on the scales tomorrow. I’m afraid it was all a dream. Lol3
