    @Blueberries59 I'm sorry about the hip/back pain! I hope it decreases in time for ski camp - that sounds fun!

    @CamandJarvis it's so tough with so many unknowns. Hope you ended up having a good day!

    @itladyee I do the same thing - once I overdo it I basically give up for the rest of the day :( Hope yesterday was better for you and you were able to reset!

    @BigappleBritt88 congrats on the positive review and raise!

    @Healthylyna2020 Welcome and I love PCDR!

    @Skyleen75 Wow, I want to come to your party!!

    @SModa61 hello! Hope your hand is better soon, yikes! Didn't know a cat bite could be that bad!

    @UTMom81 Nice work squeezing in that workout!

    @capewrathultra those last minute dinner plans are brutal. My DH does that to me all the time!

    @cyndiemi welcome, just saw your intro. Can't imagine retiring from nursing and then having to caregiver for husband and mother. That's so much on your plate for so long! Good job making space for some self-care.

    @_JeffreyD_ well done throwing out the snack foods. I wish I could bring myself to keep them out of my house and away from my kids but it's so hard to only have unprocessed food with little kids around! I would like to give them less processed food but it's very hard to right the ship once they're accustomed to such things.

    @Chapter_3 love to see your motivation! I see things like what you're posting and I desperately wish I could get my mom (age 71) to exercise at all. I think she'd freak out if I told her to do any one of those things for the sake of her health.

    @jspecies11 wow, nice work with the movie snacks!!!

    The frequency is getting out-of-hand. Need to just turn off my phone, lock the front door, and hide! 🤣

    @Deepwoodslady – It’s always a downer to compare the forfeited progress, though data is useful tool if considered with compassion. Please know if you did it once, you can do it again! And also, celebrate the 40 pound losts of progress to date!

    @ItLadyee
    Angel on one shoulder, devil on the other. Devil wins.... I feel that all or nothing mentality kicking in.
    THIS is a mind game that we need to win and one I struggle with! I know at any point during any day or meal we can kick that devil off our shoulder. But he's a tenacious little beast!! A mug of hot water is my only tool to break the cycle and allow the fullness of my past sins to register in by brain. I'd welcome tips from others to fight this devil.

    Welcome @cynliemi – Bless you for being a caregiver for your family. I just lost my sister in March after being her primary caregiver, a job I was wholly unqualified to do other than I loved her with my whole heart, and it was brutal. Weight wise, it was hard. I was always trying to tempt her with food and surrounded by treats and under stress and heartache. My heart goes out to you. Welcome to this challenge. You are worth take care of.

    @Skyleen75 -
    My favorite part is I put an end time right on the invitation! 5-9pm “you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here”!
    Hilarious!! Have a wonderful party. You’ve gotten so much done.

    @Capewrathultra – Do throw out the Cheeze-Its but keep the oatmeal and other whole grains. Of course, there are specific weight loss plans out there that limit carbs, but that’s another issue. Gastroenterologists and dietary scientists from Jefferson Health, Mayo Clninc, Cleveland Clinic, Harvard Health, Healthline, EatingWell, etc., all go into the benefits and science of why oats are a nutritious choice. I don’t know about Dr. Gundy, but maybe he’s making $$$ from his youtube. Fear sells. Watch out for that. Granted, some individuals have an intolerance to the grain, and the extra sugar and processing added to instant oatmeal packets devalue the benefits, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. Just food for thought. I personally am a big fan of improving my gut health and eat steel cut oats with blueberries everyday for breakfast, so I thought I must defend my choice. :wink:



    Dr. Gundry was probably the top heart surgeon in The World, but now he's focused on making very expensive supplements. There IS a lot of wisdom in his advice, but it's not going to get me to buy his supplements.
