    Good morning,

    I will have to drop out of the group for a while. I've been dealing with foot and leg issues. I should be okay after my surgery in May and able to join back in mid-June if you'll have me.

    Sorry to see you go... I can excuse you for now... so that you don't have to re- register

    Thank you. My surgery is on May 16th and I'll be able to slowly become more active after 2-3 weeks.

    Well it was my birthday weekend and i had 2 days of partying with friends and eating and drinking whatever i wanted. I only ended up with 2000 calories over maintenance but it was all carbs! And this morning .... drum roll please .. i have put on 11lb!!! Yes I've gone from 182lb on Friday morning to 193lb today!
    I feel like a bloated whale!!!
    I know its carbs ... my body has a huge reaction to them!! On a positive note i m looking forward to losing 2lb a day this week !!!!

    Happy Birthday!! Well it sound's like you had a fabulous time! Doesn't it really stink that it goes back on so quickly, yet seems to take so long to get it back off!! And carbs....love love them :D

    @ChickieBoom22 One of the best feelings is being well rested and looking forward to a good week :)

    @FindingSamMon Good luck with getting your leg and foot issues fixed up. Hope you heal quickly afterwards. See you soon, we'll be here!

    That is a hard one. I enjoy so many of them. I think probably my favorite would be the penguins out of them all.

    Wow, I've lost 45lb since March 2023. The problem is, it's the same 45lb!
    I've gone up by an average of 14lb .... 4 times in the past year😏😏
    In a way I'm proud of myself, old Lis would have put on 14lb and kept going until i was 90lb heavier, (I've lost 80lb at least 4 times in my life)
    BUT I'm sick of being on a constant calorie restriction ! The 14lb gains take me an average of 2 weeks ... always when I've left the rv!! So either i have to live in the rv forever 🤣🤣 or address the issues. I'm in the rv now for 4 weeks (losing my latest 14lb gain) and giving serious thought to the habits that lead to my gains ...... and coming up with a plan to stop each one!
    Sometimes it's good to take a step back, do some analysis, identify the problems, find the solutions and implement them!
    Wishing you all success xx

    Amazing!! That's what it takes is trying new things

    Yay...Monday :|:D
    I took last week off (not from work) just extra curriculars and dieting. I needed some time to myself and a refresh. I was feeling really tired and worn out. Happily, I am now looking forward to this week! I feel rested and ready to go and get back to the craziness.
