    Good morning Ladies!

    Michelle - I'm having issues with the laptop version but can do everything (except sync) on my phone.

    Wendy - Glad the horse is safely with you. I'm sorry to hear her transport was rough. She has landed in paradise now and will live out a wonderful life being pampered by you. I wish I was close so I could come pet her (over the fence, I still have some fear of horses) and talk to her.

    Joyce - Yeah for you going to church! Have a great time in choir, I know you have missed it!

    Barbie - I love naps in my recliner! I didn't realize Sasha was a standard poodle. I had one growing up. He was a black boy and weighed 70 lbs. He thought he was a lap dog like my toy poodle that weighed 7 lbs. I miss having poodles, but not taking them to the cleaners to be clipped.

    Lisa - Hang in there. I know it is tough. It has taken me so long to get to where the scale being up from sodium (or flying) doesn't put me in a tailspin. I can finally look at the number and go, meh, it will come back down. I didn't eat enough to gain 2 lbs of fat.

    Allie - I love listening to my wind chimes. I have a set that was my Dad's on my front porch and a set that we bought on the back porch.

    Laura - Yeah for family brunch! Love the photo!

    Martha/Tammy/and Other Newbies I missed - Welcome! Jump right in!

    Kim - I'm glad you felt safe. I'm sorry you and your Mom are so different. My mother in law is kind of the same way. She is not demonstrative AT ALL.

    Kylia - You did a great job with your stats yesterday!! I give you a Gold Star, not that it means anything!

    Trish - Good luck on your goals!

    Terry - Glad your daughter is safely home! Answered prayers!! Good luck on the road to onederland!

    Ginger - Good luck with your plan. You can do this. Turn to us for support when you need it.

    We had a good day yesterday. Took the car out for a nice drive as it was partly sunny and in the 70's, even popped into the low 80's for a bit. We had a lovely lunch while we were out. My weight held steady today, I was guessing it would be up a bit from eating out. I am hopeful that I will see downward movement by Friday. I am so close to goal that I can taste it. I think it is funny that I am closing in on my goal just as the hubs is getting serious about getting his moving down again. We will see what this week hold. Hopefully he is down when he weighs Friday morning below his low point that he hasn't been able to move beyond for about 2 months. I know how frustrating that is, as do most of you.

    Have a great week ladies!

    Okie- Thank you for the gold star! I am proud too!

    Lisa- I am glad you understand your body and travel. I don't fly enough and was frustrated when I last flew. Nice to know that some weight gain is normal.

    As for the crunchy foods, my DH has his mouth closed, but tends to stand close to me when I am working on something else. grumble, grumble. It is so annoying! It is so noisy when everything else is quiet!

    My MIL is going in for some sort of test on blockage possibilities this morning. She hadn't told anyone but her sister up until last night! Grumbling again. This family!?!?!? She hadn't even told her boyfriend of over 10 years who lives with her! My DH and I have been told not to tell his sister.....really????....why???? I don't understand. Prayers that all is good.

    Machka- Prayers continuing for you and your husband. BREATHE and know that we are all thinking of you and wish we were physically there to help.

    I am so happy to be part of such a loving and supportive group. Safe travels to those traveling, peace to those in need, and happy dance for all the love and support!

    Yes, MFP and Fitbit are a mess right now. Trying to remember that and go with the flow, but such an intricate part of my day, that I find that hard!

    KJ! So glad you get it! Yes, mainly my DH with his hollow echo chamber head!!!!! Almost always crunchy stuffs- cookies and chips! He too is still alive-hehe! The funny thing is I don't even notice when most people are eating, but his crunching is awful! :) Thank you for letting me know I am not crazy :)

    Uggg...can't log food right now. Hopefully, MFP can get this taken care of like they did last night. Wonder if they can since it's Easter?

    Rita - your breakfast sounds delish! I always find it a challenge to take a recipe and make it lower in calories. Would your hubby?

    Was it katie who said that Brecks had the daffodils? Well, I looked there, and they have them but they don't ship until Fall. I was hoping to get them to plant around now. Guess I won't. Some of them are really pretty.

    Wendy - Beauty is a lovely name and sure fits her. Do hope you get her

    Vince went to church today with me. He's a C&E're. Then came home a cleaned the winshield in my car. It was badly streaked. Hope it came out OK, we'll know tomorrow when we take it out in the sunshine. Went to Lowe's Hardware to get the corrugated piping. Then put down the Wet & Forget on the deck. That takes amost all day to do.

    Diane and slja - welcome, pull up a chair, pour yourself and glass of water, and jump right in

    kylia - I'm going to record Jesus Christ superstar. I love that show!

    Michele, another source of large, high quality daffodil bulbs (but yes, for fall planting) is Brent and Becky's Bulbs. You can order now and they will deliver them at the proper planting time for your zone. They are in Gloucester, VA and they started their business with daffodils. For awhile, that was all they sold. brentandbeckybulbs*com Look under Keyword: Narcissus

    Pat in OH- I hope you are feeling better! Use that loss as a jumping board, but be realistic that with food, your body will have to adjust. This is a journey. Glad you had a good time with family. (((Hugs)))

    Barbie: Thanks for the kind words about spending time with Arrow. I'm lucky that his owner appreciates me riding him. It is a win situation for all of us. He gets more exercise & attention, I get to ride, and she also gets to ride. Neither of us has enough time to devote to him but between us he gets enough attention and exercise to stay healthy. :star:

    Joyce: "Why do we have so many women here from the Pacific North West. Why can't we get some women from southern Indiana?" People out here tend to be health conscious. I have no idea why there are fewer members from Indiana. :flowerforyou:

    Kim: My mom was both socially shy & touch shy, too. She was very embarrassed about her body and I wonder whether her mother shamed her. :ohwell:

    Martha from N CA: Welcome! :smiley:

    Wendy: It is so lucky for that filly that you are a generous and caring person. I'm sorry that she hurt herself in transport & hope she heals quickly. I agree with Lisa about the beauty of both you and your environment. Great photo! :star:

    Peach: I wasn't able to upload a photo, either. :grumble:

    I am up very early today because DH couldn't sleep & woke me as he got up. My plans for the day include yoga class & picking up DH's old watch from the local Fred Meyer. He took it to them for repair. They weren't able to repair it so he bought a new watch. I'm not sure what he wants to do with the old one.

    Love the family photos, Laura and Kylia. <3

    What a fabulous spot for a hike, Wendy. Do you feel safe wearing shorts? Over here we are advised always to wear tucked in long trousers because of the ticks and the diseases they bring. I'm always covered up top and bottom through fear of bites and stings as well. And sunburn. Guess I'm just a wimp, though Lymes is no fun and our nearest wild space is notorious for it. Dogs also can get some horrible fatal disease there, but nobody seems to know why. You look as if you had a great time. :D

    I fiddled around with my memoir this morning, changing the title, writing out boring things like copyright page and taking out a photo. Then I had to copy it to everything, changing the file title. Grrrrrrrrrr! I am so not good at painstaking work. And a complete amateur. Still, I'm getting there.
    I'm very neurotic about backing everything up, so it all takes ages.

    KJ - DDIL sent the photo from the house they have swapped with in Edinburgh. I expect the masks were just random stuff they found in the toy box up there and she took a photo to send to "Granny and Johnny". She is very good at keeping us in the loop.
    I love Runner's World. It's so well written and something for everyone, whether total beginner or advanced. Good, attractive layout. My DDIL bought one for the plane ride up to Edinburgh because I recommended it and she texted me to thank me. :D I read them on my tablet.
    I'm going to use the left over lamb today to make a curry with butternut squash, chickpeas and spinach.

    Horrible, grey, boring weather here. I'm going to ride my recumbent bike and watch Holding Back the Years on BBC iplayer.

    Much love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Lanette: I'm glad you stopped in. I've been wondering about you. I'm sorry to hear about the sacroiliac misery. I hope you're feeling better by the minute. :flowerforyou:

    @MandPal

    Welcome!

    There are a bunch of us who used to go to WW on this thread.

    It is labor intensive to log on MFP at first, but after awhile you will build up a list of foods you have previously logged. You will then be able to click on the food in your list, adjusting the amount if needed, and add it to your day's intake without looking up the food from scratch. Most of us have food scales and other measuring devices. I am a big fan of weighing food. A "tablespoon" of oil is a less precise measurement than 13g of oil weighed on a food scale, for example.
