@Veta2018 I forgot to send you a message saying to come with me to the concert! Your stepson sounds very frustrating I'm sorry to hear how challenging he is to deal with.

@tammymccrady6278 Has your food intake changed at all? It may be worth weighing if you haven't or logging more strictly to figure out what's going on. Hugs to you.

@jessica865 Great news on decreasing PT visit days per weke, I'm glad to hear your side is getting better.

@TeresaW2024 Happy Anniversary to you and Joe! I hope you two have a great time at the movies and enjoy dinner. ROFL at picturing you sitting with Rob Lowe talking about Atkins!

@trooworld Prince always left you even more curious about him after his interviews, he seemed to always say intriguing things. Sounds like a great Saturday hope you had a great time!

@Cornanda I'm glad your visit went well with your parents. Hugs to you.

Hi friends! I'm up late catching up as a friend called earlier, The craft fair was fun but we were done pretty fast so we went to a restaurant for a drink and came home. I got some tomatoes in tonight and am planning a yard day tomorrow. Been thinking of not doing the next grant class now as I'll have a lot less time than I expected, I'll decide tomorrow on it. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get supplements marked down, I'll find out soon! I just fell asleep so off to bed, have a great Sunday team!

@Cornanda, I am so happy that your parents had a nice visit, especially that your dad had a much-needed break from the normal routine. Does he have a support group at home? If he is on Facebook, there are some really good groups for caregivers and spouses.

@Katmary71, I’m sure you will make the right decision about the grant. You are so busy, and you don’t want to compromise your much-needed rest time so that you don’t end up in a big mess.


Good morning! Joe and I had a nice time yesterday. The movie was great, and the ribs were delicious. When we go out in public, it's obvious how much older and slower my poor Joe has become. Fortunately, people are very kind and patient with us when we are on the way. I’m sure they all think I’m a wonderful daughter. 😂 It’s raining all morning, which is annoying since we leave for church in an hour. I hope it stops later so I can run and do my Aldi shopping. If not, I’ll go tomorrow. You all have a blessed day!

@micaroo4 - I keep changing my goal/maintenance weight. I originally wanted to get to 135lbs. Then, 130 lbs. After, calculating my BMI, I noticed that it was considered still over-weight. Now, I want to maintain between 125 lbs. - 130lbs. Is there anything that helped you decide what your maintenance range should be?

@ninyagwa - I pay all the bills, he makes the money. I get so fustraited with myself, if I forget a bill though. I have a notebook with a list of bills, due date, and amount I will be paying, to keep me on track.

@Cornanda - I'm glad that your parents visit went well.

@Katmary71 - Great work on getting all that mulch. You impress me with all the things you do. That's cool you get to see Queensryche.(I'm jealous) I'd love to come with you to the concert. You have been doing great at logging. I'm pretty consistent with it too. I'd like to improve my focus on strength training.

@trooworld - We need to finish insulating and drywall, then, it's flooring, paint, trim, fixtures, cabinets and doors. We have a little hicup. The hall lights stop working. I think maybe, when the duct work was being installed, they may have accidentally pulled on a wire. It sounds like you enjoyed the musicals, made good choices, and had a great day.

@TeresaW2024 - I'm happy you had a nice 19 year anniversary. We ate at a BBQ place called Jim ‘N Nicks when we vacationed in Savana, Georgia. My husband is 8 years older than I. I've been mistaken for his daughter before....hehehe.

Congratulations to @laurelfit57 @Digger62 @AyaTheTyga our weekly winners!

@Sleepygirl79 - Nice loss!

@Megnolia82 - You can do this!

My mom came over this weekend. We went shopping together Saturday and to church on Sunday. We are so much alike...lol. Sometimes we even say the same thing at the same time.....hehehe. She brought a book about weight loss with her. It had a rhyme about eating white bread, white pasta, and white rice. "The whiter the bread, the sooner your dead." She signed into her MFP and logged what she ate. It was very overwehlming for her, I don't see her doing it on her own. I told her she could just write it in a notebook. I suggested she start with small goals of watching portion sizes and drinking more water. My husband and I did some work at the new house, but it was all yard stuff, nothing off the list.

@Veta2018 - I decided my maintenance range based on my pants. I buy men's pants at Walmart, Wrangler cargo pants. The smallest size I'm able to find has a 28 inch waist. If I go below 127, the pants are falling down; above 133 and they're too snug. I also start to look a little gaunt when my weight goes below 125. So I settled on 130 with a 3 pound variance in either direction. But don't over think it. If you're comfortable in your body, then you are at the right weight; never mind the charts. The BMI is based solely on height and weight. It's the same for men and women, and we clearly don't carry our weight the same way. If your waist circumference is less than 1/2 your height, you're in your right-sized body.
