This is a video of the science behind weight loss. 17 minutes and it quit a couple of times so you might have to reload it.

I heard that Bea had a high temperature on Friday, but recovered quickly after a long nap. I felt really off this morning with no motivation to do anything.
So, my self diagnosis is that I was fighting off a virus which went to my weakest spot - my knee and other joints. DH has had tummy trouble, as has my son and DDIL. I am feeling a lot better this evening though quite bloated and windy.
I hope my knee will be recovered by tomorrow and I can resume running. This under the weather/virus thing has happened before with my joints, but my knee has been a trial since I was 15.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx
That happens to me when I get sick. It goes right into whatever joint(s) have been bothering me.

Hi gals. I had company last night and made the most fabulous ribs last night...not exactly dietetic but OMG. A little rub, wrap in foil, cook 3 hours at 350, turn oven off for 3 more hours. You can add BBQ sauce if you like before cooking or after. They fell off the bone, you couldn't even use a fork! MMMMMMMMMMMMM! Apple pie as well; I will have leftovers tonight then vacuum seal and freeze the rest of the pie. We always play games after dinner and did so again last night. It was a lot of fun. They have had me over time and time again since Leonard has been gone and he does a lot of "honey do" things for me, so it was about time to have them over. It just has seemed so overwhelming to have company, but it felt good.
I did about 90 minutes in the garden today. That yard is just totally overgrown! Someone needs to be out there every single day. I can easily do an hour a day and that would keep it all looking nice. I like to garden and I can get that much time in daily without problem. I'm starting to get my motivation back and existing on a more even keel, so maybe I'll get my fat rump out there tomorrow too!
OK, time for leftovers! NOM NOM NOM! Meg from Omaha where there won't be any left after dinner tonight!10 -
klander30 Thanks for the garden pictures AHHH!!!1

After my unexpected company left, we packed up and went out to son’s ranch. I told hubby it was my vacation. I must have ten loads of laundry with all the bedding and towels. What fun we had for a few days. My DGS also told me to post video to youtube but not sure about that. Will try some pictures.

Carol in GAI posted something the other day and now don’t see it here! Trying to catch up. On pg 20 now.
RV Rita
It’s in the Nutrition area on the phone app. Click on Macros.
Click <More> then <Nutrition> then <Macros> and you get a pie chart for carbs/protein/fat1 -

First of all you did NOT look hideous. I loved the pictures of you loving on your grandbaby. Perhaps try cutting carbs a bit and upping protein if possible. Lots of water. You're already exercising. Of course you're the only one that knows what works for you. You've got this girlfriend. Biggest Big Hug!!

Appreciate your support and kind words!💖. I do know what I need to do to get there, its taking that first step and do it! Love ya!

Vince bought me an early Christmas gift (because it was on sale 20% off) – a cabinet for my DVD’s. I almost completely filled it….lol
Hey Sue – welcome! And welcome to anyone else new
Rita – you did a good thing by donating blood. So sorry you passed out, tho
My pie charts are free, too. But I can only get them on my phone
I hear thunder in the distance. Better go take my shower in case it rains hard
Suebdew – wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing
Snowflake - what a beautiful daughter you have there (and you're not bad, either)

Did a hour of training games on the Wii. The plan for tomorrow is to do one segment of 10MS Carb Burner DVD then take the extremepump class.
Connie – So grateful your mom didn’t break anything!
Rebecca – gee! You didn’t post any pics where you look hideous. What am I missing?
My girlfriends came yesterday. We had a good time talking. One gal would talk a lot, but I think some of that is loneliness on her part. I get the feeling that she isn’t someone who is adventurous. She’s been in NC now for a couple of months and from what I understand she seems to know only two streets – hers and her daughter’s. Rita got her out and she was amazed to see tall buildings in Greensboro. And to make the trip to Newton, that was something that seemed to be out of her comfort zone. I gotta go see her sometime. Unfortunately, I don’t know her address but I know that Rita does so maybe I’ll email Rita and ask for it.
Sun is out a bit. I’ll probably go in the pool today. It was rainy off and on yesterday
Michele in NC
No worries, they were pics that my son took, and I never posted them. I just look huge compared to my daughter in law that's small and cute as a button.💖 I just have to be cautious how I stand. It was a straight on photo, I need a bush or somethin!

You can send specific people friend requests if you want several friends to help you stay on track. Generally that means your food diary is public. My diary was public until one “friend” trashed what I ate on a night I went out with friends. That “friend” is NOT part of this group.
I love the support we have here. Some of us are working toward weight loss, and others are in maintenance. You will find all the support you need in this wonderful group of gals.
I do still accept friend requests for support, but only from this group and one other group I frequent.

I agree. If it’s staying the same, it just might be typical for you especially after bariatric surgery. My WBC runs around 7.0-7.5. My coworker’s is always around 4.0. My students hate it when they get her slide to count.

Up to page 22. Forth if July was nice here. Spent the evening with campground friends. Friday went to the Alien Festival at 104 degrees in the afternoon! Donated blood as we were leaving. Walked to the car where I passed out! Scraped both knees and have felt “off” since!
More later.
RV Rita
So sorry you passed out after donating. It’s a super hot day so it’s hard to rehydrate from the heat and donating. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Couldn't go to sleep, lots of reasons, but almost to the point now where I can try again. Still got the next three days off, so no biggie...
Put up an antenna to get the local digital channels today and it worked quite well, so "cut the cord" today, as so many people are doing... which is not quite accurate, considering it was satellite TV...
but got rid of it, thereby saving the equivalent of two mortgage payments a year for TV service. With the antenna, we get a few local stations for local news, and a number of PBS stations. We also already have Netflix and Amazon Prime, so a nearly unlimited number of shows we want to watch when we choose... Having broadband internet at home is essential for my work, so can't get rid of that, but might as well take advantage of it.
We bought the satellite system when we were living in the travel trailer, and have used it ever since, so we own the equipment, no leasing or return fees. Was probably half the cost of most satellite service, but even so, nice to be out from under one cost. Might just sell the equipment.
Feeling sleepy enough that I think I can go back to snoozing. Hope so, anyway...
Love y'all,

Lisa I hope you get to sleep now.

I went to bed early Saturday night as I was doing the Race for Life (Breast Cancer Charity Walk/Run) with my sister in law Helen, my niece Tracy and her girls Autumn, Indi and baby Wednesday, when I was woken up in the early hours of Sunday morning by the Police on the telephone.
Apparently they had had to break in to my mums because her smoke alarm had been activated and she hadn't heard it!
The police were worried so had to break in via the back door and found her unaware asleep in bed, she got a bit of a shock when the police woke her up. As you can imagine, not much sleep was gotten the rest of the night. We really must get her to the audiologist to get her ears looked at, it could have been a real fire instead of the alarm malfunctioning!
Anyway all was well with mum, the Race for Life with the kiddies was fun and we managed to get around in good time (luckily the baby stayed asleep in her buggy until we had finished ) We even had our photo taken by a reporter for the Hull Newspaper.
Still catching up.

Good morning all! Happy Monday!
Suebdew- Love all of the pics and you look fantastic! What fun! You have a family of "secret keepers". Not sure my DH could keep something like that from me.
NYKaren- Beautiful garden pics! What a great trip you are on!
Rita- Oh my, 104* AND donating blood?! I am sure I wouldn't have made it out of the donation chair! Please take some time today to take it easy and really hydrate yourself! I am guessing your hubby was with you when you passed out?
Tracey- Yea! Here comes the bride! And her parents! You look fantastic! The dress I wore for my daughter's wedding was close to that color (a little more golden) and a different style. Can't wait to hear how it all went! I bet you are exhausted!
Viv- I have run in a couple of Race For Life events. They are a lot of fun and also heartbreaking to see/hear all of the stories. Wow in regards to your mom! That must have scared her! Yup, time for some hearing aids?
I had a good weekend and got a lot done. I got the bedrooms ready for daughter and her family. We are kind of playing "musical bedrooms". My son, Colin has the biggest bedroom because he originally shared with our oldest son. So...we are putting Lauren, Jaime, Joaquin and Chappie the wonder dog in Colin's room. Then Colin is moving into the guest bedroom. I bought some new bedding for Colin's bed (for daughter's family to use). I think I will pull the mattress pad off my bed and put it on that bed, to give them a little more support. I will also be putting the futon mattress on the floor for Joaquin. He is too big for the pack n play and three in a queen when it is hot, is too much. Lauren said he will sleep fine on the futon, because sometimes they find him sharing Chappie's dog bed.
I got my flowers that I bought last week planted. Nothing major, just some purple celosia and some corsican mint. I painted the terra cotta planter box a nice slate blue, though. Looks very pretty, now. Oh, I also took pictures of some things that "don't bring me joy". lol I posted them on the local marketplace. All for free. Let's see if I can get rid of it all! Fingers crossed! Bikes and burley are all cleaned up, tires pumped, chains oiled, and ready for the kids to ride. I am borrowing a toddler bike helmet for Joaquin.
It was also Tim and my 30th wedding anniversary, yesterday. lol It was a busy day for me and he has not been feeling well. So after I cleaned all of the dirt off myself, I took myself to taco bell for dinner. lol Not a healthy choice, but I brought tacos home, Tim was asleep and I sat and watched Grace and Frankie (I am on season 4) until bed time. I just love that show!
Kids arriving! Last week of care until I am on vacation and my babes are here! Whoot! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

quick post for now. managed to be under 50 carbs for 1st time yesterday. it's a habit I guess, to develop. I used to eat lots of bananas and carrots...
now, it's even more soy yogurt, Okara, more fish, more veggies, a smidgen of cheese now that major hay fever season has passed (for me).
meeting today, well, the board voted all permanent teachers are invited. (I'm a permanent teachers) but the director excludes about 4 of us long-timer's without a reason. his position doesn't override the board's, but he tries. he says that the vote is old (but it was published again last year), and no other vote has taken place since then. he's shady and doesn't hesitate to switch around words (add one here, and subtract one there) to completely change the meeting of words.

In the week up to May 1 my average weight was 60.53
In the week up to June 1 my average weight is 59.66
Week up to July 8 my average weight is 59.46
so possibly loss of 0.44 lbs in 5 weeks or...simple fluctuation.
not gaining anyway.
I had breakfast today at 10 as I didn't feel good and felt really hungry0
