    What a sweet baby, so adorable.
    I picked out Yaya for my mom when I was a teen, long before I ever had a baby because I heard it and thought it suited her. Its easy to say. My dad wanted to be Grampa. But it just wasn't sticking with my daughter. She ended up calling him papaw. The other Grands are Nanny and Grandad because that's what my husband's nephews were already calling them.

    Congratulations ๐Ÿพ adorable ๐Ÿฅฐ

    My granddaughter calls me Grandma Mama both maternal & paternal grandparents we both have last names that start with M so the other gma is grandma Mm . My mom is Gg and she calls her mom mom so grandma mama seemed appropriate

    The other grandkids call me grandma Tami and I just HATE โ€ฆโ€ฆ. But itโ€™s what they choose so I have to live with it as they are 23& 21โ€ฆ.

    Hello everyone... sorry for being MIA. I needed a mental break from pretty much everything. The only break I didnt take was from this little guy here.

    I have been following along and wish everyone well going into the Holidays.

    @murdog3t you inspire me with your goals and consistancy.

    @DaffyGirl88. Love how you have such a positive attitude and keep us together!

    @HASWLRS Lisa...hang in there. It is so hard to go through these things with your parents. I have been there. Those long rides and long days/nights are tough. Hoping you can find what works for you and your dad. Prayers for you both.

    @Tomsgal1985 glad you are back here and hoping I can get back on track soon.

    I do have one thing to ask you all... if any of you are grandparents... HOW did you choose a name?? I am so so trying but for now my daughter calls me "noname" one kiddo laid Gram Gram out there and one laid Gigi out there. I like both but just cant seem to settle on one. We know it needs to happen so please tell me how to choose the perfect name ๐Ÿคฃ yes.. hours have been spent scanning lists of names (and still no decision)

    Good morning everyone!

    Not sure when the last time I posted was, this week has been a fever induced haze. On the plus side I feel 100% better just in time for the kids to arrive. I'm wishing you all the very Merriest of Christmases and hope that you all get to enjoy time with your families. I will catch up with you all in the New Year!

    @Tomsgal1985 One thing at a time. Focus on eating right now, then focus on moving more, and the scale will follow. Baby stepps.

    Thank you, dear Sue! Iโ€™m down a pound for the week. I got some movement in over two days while decluttering 6.5 bags of clothes and a box of hangers. Trying to make room for change in my life. I have quite a lot more to go through. Plus now my taxes are weighing on me. I will get them done by February 29! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœ… My husband has lost 23 pounds since September. Iโ€™m so proud of him and his resolve is helping me.

    Hello, Brandi, Shawnee, Sue, Susan and Tami. (I hope I have not forgotten anyone; it's been awhile)! I thought I would pop in for an update. Dad did indeed pass away on November 28th. He died in hospital before we could find palliative care for him. I got down to 194 right around that time. Put on ~5 at Christmas. We just got back yesterday from a two week vacation (an Eastern Caribbean cruise out of Fort Lauderdale followed by a conference in West Palm Beach) and I put on ~5 more from that. So back up to 203.4. I am logging my food again starting today, but my husband also wants to lose weight so this time it might be easier? He will not log food; he'll just watch his portions, and cut out that late night snacking. We go to Mexico in four weeks so our goal is to lose as much as we can before then.

    I hope you are all doing well and having a great start to 2024.

    Thanks for all your kind words,
    Lisa

    @HASWLRS OMG I was so happy to see your post! I am sorry to hear about your dad though. ๐Ÿ˜ž Always hard even when you know it's coming. Sending you much love and hugs.

    I have thought about you very often and wondered how you were doing. I have been lax in posting here but I do try to check in a few times a week. Life has been busy on my end but will have to wait until I'm on my computer cuz I ain't typing it all on my phone. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    So happy you enjoyed your cruise! I imagine you needed the time away. And going to Mexico now too! I'm jealous! โ˜บ๏ธ

    Have a great day y'all! I'll try to catch up later.

    Yeah, I know, it sounds like an excessive amount of travel, but these trips were actually planned for us. The cruise was for a friend's 50th birthday. She sent the invite out last March. There were six couples that ended up going. The conference happened to be starting two days later, only about a 75 minute drive north, so that is how we ended up away for two weeks. The week in Mexico was also a trip that my BIL planned for he and his wife, his parents and us to travel together. His parents used to travel more, but Covid stopped that and now they are very close to 80. My SIL suggested an all-inclusive as an easy way to take a trip. However, they got cold feet and backed out, but the trip was already booked. So the 50 year old birthday girl and her husband are now going to be "mom and dad" on the trip!

    It has been over 36 hours since we got off the plane, we didn't eat very much yesterday (giving our digestive tracts a rest), and a more relaxed bowel now that I am home (TMI, I know), has resulted in the scales being down three pounds this morning. Back in Onederland!!
