    KJ - here's hoping your cholesterol numbers come down

    Allison - I'm so so sorry (((HUGS)))))

    Karen UK - 15 pounds in 18 months -- absolutely doable! We'll be there with you every step of the way

    Went to Aldi. I tell you, Sun. morning is THE time to go around here. I got there at 9:45, spent over $60, and left at 10:30. Some church around here must have a 9:00 service because by the time I left, it was starting to get busier. Not as busy as it will probably be around 1. Then stopped at Kohl's. I had a $5 coupon plus another coupon for 30% off. Got an Instant Pot cookbook for Jess. Regularly $13, I got it for $5.

    Penny, oh Penny, where are thou Penny?????

    <I love this group and truly depend on it to keep me motivated and the knowledge that I can do this. I enjoy the diversity in eating, exercise and habits that each one brings to the group. I learn something new every day here. <3<3<3> Beautiful!

    Made a mandarin orange cake for when Steven is here. Also made some lemon squares for him to have on the ride home. I know he likes those. Still need to ice the cake.

    tuliplor and Rhonda and evamutt- welcome back!

    Becca - She's BAAACCCCKKKK! So happy, now we get your words of wisdom, wonderful! You know something, I'm not a t-shirt person at all. I own some, but never wear them. I just don't like something around my neck. I prefer v-neck shirts. Sorry to hear about your stepdad. He sounds like an amazing man.

    janetr - I'm sorry about your sister

    Allie ... so very sorry ... keeping you in my prayers.

    Becca ... hello!

    Heather .... I did check into some online Instant Pot sites ... yikes! A lot of info out there!

    Have gotten very little done this weekend but did get some food prep done for the upcoming week. Very much want to get myself back on track. Not liking the way I feel right now and that's the extra weight that keeps creeping back on!

    I think the last you heard from me I had fallen and tore the ligaments in my left ankle. I am happy to report that I am about 90% better

    Glad to hear that!

    My tart cherry juice arrived today. I took my first dose immediately. :D Thought it was delicious! I will be drinking my "dose" night and morning and probably having it with sparkling water in between. I love sharp flavours, so it's perfect for me.

    Kate UK - Didn't see your post until Machka reposted it. Yes, it is nice to have some UK folks. I would love it if you and the others posted more often. <3 I do love the way this thread has introduced me to the ways of the US in particular. I feel I have gained a real insight into the country, from the inside. I have been on here over 5 years, so feel very at home. I am hugely curious about the way different people think and I find it endlessly fascinating. :D

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    I agree with Heather. I love reading all the posts from US, Australia & New Zealand. It's so interesting to hear about the different customs and daily lives. I live in a small town in South Wales, UK (it used to be a village in my childhood, but has grown over the years), and have never lived anywhere else. All of my immediate family and friends live very near to me so I'm very fortunate.
    Karen UK

    I did a cycling tour through part of southern Wales back in 2003. It's just possible I may have been through your small town.

    One thing I did notice about cycling in Wales was that we were either doing 4 km/h or 40 km/h the whole way ... up the hill, down the hill, up the hill, down the hill ...


    BTW - I'm a Canadian-Australian ... grew up in Canada, but moved to Australia 9 years ago. :)

    I could so do this!
    Becca

    The only thing I consume with any regularity on that list is diet coke.


    That said, we might do baked potatoes topped with salad, chicken and a bit of cheese for dinner tonight. :) Love it! And we have it about once a month.

    Becca

    I could not do the no potatoes thing. The only reliable somewhat low calorie food that ‘fills me up’ are potatoes. I eat potatoes (usually boiled or microwaved with a nice amount of garlic and pepper) 4 or 5 times a week. I would be sad if no juice included tomato juice- I have a few glasses of tomato juice a week too. Otherwise I don’t usually do anything on that list, so wouldn’t have to try too hard.

    Glad to see you back, Becca. You always give me a big smile.
