@FushiaKat You’ve been busy! That’s too bad Windows 10 support is going away, I’ve been getting warnings to update lately. New computer is awesome I love new electronics though I don’t always appreciate software changes. @COrnanda Thank you!
@trooworld Pineapples are as difficult as acorn squash! Just pinned the salad that looks so good. Hope it went well at the potluck!
@TeresaW2024 Ugh good luck returning the trash can and with Maggie at the groomer! I wish I had an Aldi around here it looks like a cool store.
@DrewsAnna Hang in there .4 is still a loss, you may end up with a whoosh next week so keep doing all the right things and hopefully it will pay off next week.
Hi team! I woke up feeling better so I went to the farm for a bit, we harvested all the fava beans today. I went and hung out with a friend and her sister for a bit then had my dentist appointment for getting my partial (did the mold and managed not to gag). The woman I was working with called so I’ll get back to her after dinner, probably when I’m in the tub! Tomorrow’s the greenhouse then my neighbor’s coming to lunch for said fava beans in salad. Have a great Thursday!

@DrewsAnna I know it’s frustrating to not see a loss but .4 is such a tiny amount, so don’t beat yourself up. It will come off as long as you continue doing what you know to do. 🙂
@Katmary71 I’ve never had a fava bean. What can I compare it to? I do love Aldi. They have the best sourdough bread. 😋
@trooworld It was a Sterilite trash can that I ordered from Amazon. I took that filthy can to the post office, and the lady working there was shocked to see how disgusting it looked. Whatever I finally found the perfect can that I love! Wanna see it? 😎Bummer about the potluck not being a fun social event but good that you weren’t tempted. I’m glad that you at last had your own salad to enjoy. 🙂
Good morning! Today, I’m going to lunch with my best friend, which will be a fun time. Afterwards, I might swing by my niece's to see the kiddos whom I’ve been missing! I also need to say hi to my nephew and his girlfriend, who just moved down here. They are staying with my niece until they get settled. She helped him get a job at her workplace, but he is hoping to get a landscaping job that will pay more. His girlfriend is originally from Scotland. She has been a traveling nurse, but now has cancer in her brain, so she primarily works as a telenurse since she is often sick. She has no one in the world but my nephew and now our family. I have a lot of concerns, but there was no stopping my sister from helping her youngest. So, I’m just praying a lot and trusting it will all work out. I’m off to work out! 🙂2 -
Hi 👋
Well, I jumped off the wagon yesterday, big time. I really showed me... I had pizza and sweet & salty popcorn. I didn't share it with hubby. I was nauseated when I went to bed because I was so stuffed. Was it worth it? Absolutely not!!
Today, I plan to dust off my shoulders & pull up my big girl panties and get back on the wagon.....
Y'all have a great day 😀

Hi All
Kerritho
PW 156
CW: 157My daughter and her family arrived on Tuesday for Easter. It’s been hard to watch the diet when I’m cooking for my granddaughters. I’ll have to try to stay strong over the Easter period so that I don’t go up further and try to get down again by next Friday’s weigh in.
I’m going to try to go on to that Michael Mosley fast 800. I have the recipe book and once the visitors leave on Monday I can do some really low calorie days.
Good luck to all.

Reminder TO Weigh In Tomorrow To @Cornanda @davors19 @bethanie0825 @trooworld0 -
@kerritho A lot of people I’ve been friends with on here did similar to fast 800 with good success, I hope it works for you. Have a wonderful time with your daughter and her family.
@DrewsAnna You got this my friend! It stinks to have those times but don’t waste today beating yourself up for yesterday. Go be awesome.
@TeresaW2024 Fava beans are kind of a cross between the size of a lima bean with the firmness of edamame. Oh your new can is beautiful I love it! Have a wonderful time with all your loved ones today. I hope things go well with your youngest nephew and girlfriend too.
@trooworld I guess the potluck being a bust in a blessing in disguise, you did great!
Hi team! Woke up super early so I finished my book and went to the greenhouse early. We got basil prospera (they breed it so it’s less likely to get fungal issues), Zephyr summer squash, striped Armenian cucumbers, and cantaloupe started. I got stuff together to get started with my community garden beds and called my neighbor about lunch. She’d had a big breakfast and wasn’t hungry and wanted to eat later but I had told her the time yesterday before we left the farm. She’s on the spectrum so I try not to be patient with her but if you have plans to eat lunch at 11:30 why the heck would you pig out at breakfast? I shelled beans and peeled off shrimp shells for 90 minutes yesterday so they’d be ready today so that's really annoying, if something came up I'm fine but have some yogurt and an apple for breakfast not a feast. Ate then went to the community garden and got my tomato plant and peppers plus some herbs in then helped weed and chat with a friend there. Roomie made a delicious dinner with gluten free pasta, my pesto, meatballs, gluten free bread, and I made a good salad so I’m pretty full, going to head to bed and read. Have a great Friday!

Hi my friends. I think it is best if I just go on hold for a bit. I have been struggling with some physical stuff and just can't seem to get it together. I have been trying but not successfully to get back on board but I just can't. Can I get put on hold for a month please?

@DrewsAnna We have all been there with a binge we regret. You're doing the right thing by getting back on track and moving forward. 🙂
@Katmary71 Ugh, that is super annoying about your neighbor, but I’m sure she didn’t think enough to realize a big breakfast wasn’t a good idea. Your dinner with your roomie sounds lovely! 🙂
@laurelfit57 I’ve been thinking about you! I’m sorry you are struggling. You take care of yourself, and we will be here when you return. 💓
@Cornanda, Congrats on your loss this week!! Ohhhh, I can’t wait to hear what your thoughts are on the boyfriend. 😃
@trooworld If a person can love a trashcan, then I'm that girl! It not only looks great, but I can keep the lid open without Maggie stealing tissues to shred into a million little pieces. Yes, all the trash cans have to have lids due to my little trash thief. 🤣 Congrats on your loss! Ugh on taxes, but yay on getting off early and hanging out with your hubby! I love roasted broccoli and bacon. What else is in the salad? The photography class sounds like a lot of fun. 🙂
Good morning! My lunch yesterday with my bestie was fun, and she loved her gifts. We ended up talking so long that I didn’t go over to my niece so I could get home before Joe woke up from his nap. I will plan a day to go over soon. This evening, we have our Good Friday service at the church, and I will either take Joe out to dinner or pick up something for him, depending on how he's doing. Whatever I eat, it will be LOW calorie! Have a good day!🙂1 -

ICE BREAKER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What was the last take-out meal that your ordered? I actually can't remember the last time I ordered take-out. It has probably been over a year. My guess is that it was either something from Taste of India or from Little Lebanon To Go. Both restaurants serve lamb and lamb is a favorite of mine.

Hi 👋
Yesterday, was a great day. I got myself back on track and went for a nice walk in the preserve across the street. I atengood all day and I allowed myself to have some ice cream.
Today, we are supposed to get up into the 70's and I want to spend some time outside again. Tomorrow is going right back down to the mid to upper 50's...
Wild raspberry flowers were all over the place.
Wild bleeding heart patch, the picture doesn't do it justice.
This tree is about 10 tree trunks all grown together.
The view from the top of the hill that I live on.
Y'all have a great day 😀

Weigh In Reminder For Tomorrow To @gemwolf110 @digger61@laurelfit57 I've asked to have you moved to Team Support where you won't have to log weigh ins for now. I hope you still come around and say hi when you can! Gentle hugs.

@Cornanda Great new on the yucky project being near the end! Hope the DD’s boyfriend is a nice guy!
@trooworld Thank you! If the broccoli bacon recipe is good please share it! You’re doing amazing with weight loss I’m so happy for you. Both of the photography groups sound fun! Have a wonderful time at the coffee shop.
@TeresaW2024 Oh your bestie lunch sounds awesome I love those times with close friends where you don’t want it to end. I hope the service goes well tonight, have a great time! Good thinking on the visit to your niece your day sounded real busy.
ICE BREAKER QUESTION: WHAT IS THE LAST TAKE-OUT MEAL THAT YOU ORDERED? I honestly don’t order take-out, my last restaurant visit was taco night and margaritas with the girls last month.
@DrewsAnna The wild raspberry flowers are so pretty, love all your photos! I love how content you sound, enjoy the warm weather and soak up some Vitamin D. You have a great day too!
@bethanie0825 Yay congratulations on being near smaller pants! I’m feeling the same as you not much weight change but I feel like I’m doing well.
Hi team! I stayed home to get caught up on work, ran by the farm, got some plants in at the community garden, then went to my new PT. It didn’t go the best, she feels my neurological issues are too severe for their clinic and that I need more specified neurological rehab for CRPS (that’s what I thought it was so that was disappointing). What stunk is I no longer respond to having my reflexes tested in my legs and feet so she’d hammer them and nothing happened. It’s hard to calmly say I’ve been trying to get help for as long as I have and not want to start screaming. Had a good dinner with my roomie, heading to the tub and bed. I’m going to Davis Creamery tomorrow for our support group meeting which should be fun. Have a great Saturday!

Weigh In Day: Saturday
PW: 131.6
CW: 133.3Maintenance range: 127-133, center weight 130.
Weighing at just a wee bit over my maintenance range. Combination of fun things contributed to that gain - a short 4-day vacation, my birthday, and 2 additional post-birthday celebrations, one with my brother on Tuesday and one last night with my friend Sara. Indian… lamb curry. Probably some sodium contributing to that gain.

@DrewsAnna Good for you for getting back on track. Enjoy the great weather! 🌞
@Katmary71 That's so frustrating that the PT didn’t feel they could help you. Is there such a rehab for CRPS that you could go to? I feel your frustration and pray you can get the help you so badly need. 🙂
@trooworld Your webinar sounds as bad as my church Zoom meeting. Thanks for the salad recipe. It looks so good! The cultural event sounds fun! I admire lowrider cars that are done really well. I think it goes back to my teenage years of cruising around the local mall. 😂Yikes, I hope you don’t get lost!
Good morning! Church was nice last night, but it went longer than I had thought, so I wasn’t happy to be eating Chick-fil-a so late. I should have planned better. Today, I will work out, make Joe wash his hair, and maybe finally clean my porch. I think we are finally at the end of our pollen season. Have a good day! ☺️
ICE BREAKER QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What was the last take-out meal that your ordered? After our Good Friday service last evening, I ordered Chick-fil-A from the app. We picked it up and ate at home.2 -

Hi 👋
Yesterday, turned into a day on the computer looking for a last minute campsite. We are leaving Tuesday to go camping, Wednesday is out anniversary. We'll be home on Friday. It'll be nice to get away. The weather is supposed to be nice and being at the ocean sounds really good to me.
@Katmary71 I would like to skip Wednesdays weigh in as I don't think I'll have any cell service, nor will I have a scale. Thank you.
Today, is a dark and dreary day, and I need to start to start getting the trailer ready. That'll get me plenty of steps.
Y'all have a great day 😀

@trooworld Thanks for the recipe, I selected to follow her blog on Pinterest too. How was the photography club meeting? The next step for me is the PT reporting to the podiatrist then trying to get into a clinic that does neurological rehab, she did suggest one but I’ll have to get it through my insurance. I called my insurance and requested a patient advocate to help me with that and getting into the UC Davis CRPS specialist. It’s frustrating when I’m losing mobility and I’ve been actively asking for help, starting to feel by the time I get there I won’t have use of my legs. Creamery and meeting was good I got salted caramel ice cream. What an exciting day I hope you had a blast at the celebration! I used to go cruising with friends (couldn’t go in the low riders because of my back injury at 17) and we’d have a blast, I miss those events. Hope the play is awesome too!
@micaroo4 Happy belated birthday to you!
@TeresaW2024 There is a CRPS rehab, not sure if my insurance will cover it but I called and asked for a patient advocate to help me get into that and with the CRPS specialist who isn’t accepting patients. The office calls and gives up and doesn’t try for any other specialist despite me saying I’m willing to drive to anywhere in Northern CA (it would be hard but I’m tired of going to doctors who aren’t knowledgeable or able to help me).
@DrewsAnna I copied this week’s weight over to next week so you’re good. The ocean sounds wonderful!
Hi friends! Busy day, I went to Trader Joe’s to get flowers for Easter then checked my oil/gassed up/cleaned windows for the trip. I stopped at the community gardens to tighten my timer/hose then went to my brother’s to pick up some money and drop off a health machine for him to try, then went to Sacramento Perennial Club’s plant sale on my way out of town and picked up a blueberry bush (actually two in one pot, score!), a Persian Shield that looks like dragon scales And a tradescantia zebrina (not PC to say the name in the link). So it was a purple/silver/blue kinda plant day. Seeing my friends was great and it was good to hang out though there was major roadwork going on with an interchange closed this weekend which is crazy on a holiday weekend. It took me over an hour to get out of Davis and from the freeway to the ice cream store was 5 minutes so it taking an hour stunk! I stopped to use the restroom and bought some junk food and batteries for my micro current as it had died as soon as I left the house and thankfully the ride home was a lot better from that point on. Got a lot done in my garden too I have the netting up and got my first group of tomatoes in, I’m hoping to do more tomorrow. Jasper anxiously waited in the catio for me to come in poor guy! Have a wonderful Easter!

Hi all- Happy Easter
Meeting the boyfriend went fine. He is a nice young man. Saturday I cleaned the whole house and took a nice walk. Made some Easter food. Today I will be making an Easter brunch.
@TeresaW2024 - glad you had a good time with your bestie and she liked the gifts.
@trooworld - that webinar sounds like a real poop show. Hope photo club was good and that you didn't get lost
@DrewsAnna - it's so beautiful where you live. Have fun camping!
@bethanie0825 - New pants! Yeah! That's a great NSV! You've had plenty of scale victories lately too!
@micaroo4 - Happy Birthday a bit late!
@Katmary71 - I sure hope you can get the help you need. A person should not have to work so hard to get healthcare. I know you will keep after them no matter how long it takes. Hugs to you.
Lisa

@Katmary71 I’m just so sorry that you have this condition and can’t get a doctor willing or able to help. I pray the patient advocate will be able to get things moving in the right direction for you. Haha, I never knew the name of one of my favorite plants is called Tradescantia Zebrina. I hope you have a great Easter! I always wondered if the Jews were offended or flattered to have a plant named after them. 😁
@Cornanda I’m glad the boyfriend meeting went well and that you think he is nice. Have a wonderful Easter! 🙂
Happy Easter! He is Risen!!! 😇 Not much going on today other than church this morning. For dinner, I’m making chicken parm with spinach ricotta tortellini, which is a request from my sweet husband. I did a leg workout yesterday and upped my weights, so this morning my calves are so sore! But the scale was down this morning, so I need to be careful the next two days, and maybe I will see a nice loss. Have a great day! 🙂0 -
Good Morning,
Happy Easter to everyone!@DrewsAnna Happy Anniversary! I hope you have a great time at the beach.
@Katmary71 I am sorry you are having a hard time finding the right help for your CRPS.
@micaroo4 Happy belated birthday!
@19shmoo69 Great job on your loss!
@trooworld glad you had a great day yesterday and the pictures are great.

I hope everyone has a great day and once again Happy Easter!
