Hi Everyone, Happy Weds. We are half way through the week. I am sending happy thoughts to all of you!

My two teenage daughters and my husband play. I don't see the appeal either, but they enjoy it. There is worse stuff they could be playing. :)

When we need to make a box cake mix, we use unsweetened apple sauce instead of oil. It doesn't taste like apple and it comes out really moist. It saves a few calories :)

It is good to see you QT!!! :)

Noodle, It is so good to see you! Way to go!!! Even with the schedule from hell, you met your commitment for getting to the pool and swimming. Look how that paid off. You are awesome!!! I bet your tracker is going to spur you on to greater achievements. Nice to get new clothes, don't forget knickers :#.

AWESOME!!! Way to go!!!!

If you are making the cake, replace the oil with unsweetened apple sauce. The cake will come out just as moist, doesn't taste like apples, and it will be a few calories less. :)

It was a rough week but I did better than I had a right to, I lost a pound. I exercised an hour or more 4 days, 45 min. 1 day. 2&3 were a loss. I did log everything I ate. I will keep the same three baby steps for this week and try again. As Barb says: Persistence not perfection :)

Hi Alice, How is the foot doing? I know it is still early days, but have you noticed any improvement? I think it is those 1001 things that bug me most of all. Thankfully we made sure to stay in the same school district. I know by the first week of May we will be unpacked and settled. It is just getting from here to there.…

I have lost 55 pounds and except for being a little thinner in the face I look pretty much the same in pictures. I can take my jeans off without unbuttoning them, but I look the same. I am 5'7". One of my friends tells me that she usually can't see a difference until she loses 65 pounds. I hope she is right, because I…

Jen, Good job, you are 4 pounds closer to your goal! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Julia, Taking a little break was just what I needed. I curled up with a cup of tea and a gardening catalog. I know I won't be able to plant much this year, but it was fun to look and plan. There are so many lovely fruits and…

When I relocated several years ago, my mother told me I needed to make new friends. So I met other women and tried to do the friend thing. Most of them complained about their husbands. I told my husband, I always felt awkward because I had nothing to complain about and really couldn't relate. He said I should make…

This has not been a good week for me. I am frustrated with myself. Stress has had the upper hand this week and I have made poor choices in dealing with it. Eating and worrying are not good coping skills. I have not had a cigarette in 10 days and I will not lie, I miss them. I need to drag myself through this and get back…

Happy Thursday Julia!!!

Hi all! Just checking in. I hope everyone is well. Happy thoughts to everyone!

Karen I like that, if you don't step forward... That is so true.

I like the hippo one too. I think that is why I want to do belly dancing so I can try to learn how to move gracefully like a unicorn. When I dance I feel like one of the hippo ballerinas from Fantasia lol.

Look a bunch of these recommendations up on you tube and see what you might like to do. When you find something you like, you can decide if you want to invest in the DVD. 30 day beginners shred is on you tube.

My confession - I need to learn to shut up when I drive. I always complain about other drivers, and not always nicely, and it's setting a bad example for the kids. But really, can't parents pull up all the way in the parking lot when they are dropping off their kids and there are 10+ cars waiting? SHEESH.[/quote] In front…

Baby Steps for this week Re-commit to myself to put my health first and foremost 1. 1 hour of exercise per day for six days of the week. 2. Try to lower my sodium to 1700 each day. 3. Make better food choices.

I quit on Wed. with Nicorette gum. I am taking it one day at a time. I had been smoking for 34 years, a pack half a day since I don't remember. Like losing weight it is day by day, hour by hour. Good luck! :)

My husband was 6'5" and 300 pounds when I met him. I was 5'8" 165 with huge boobs and very broad shoulders. I tease him I married him because next to him, I always feel petite. Even when I weighed 292. I think that is the reason I was so surprised about how big I had gotten.

Jen - Look on page nine of this thread, Barb (barlovo) wrote a post with some awesome tips in it. Be kind to yourself and remember that identifying the behavior is a win. Log everything, it may be ugly but the information will help you make better decisions. This is a process and it is a learning curve. Hang in there you…

Never give up is going to be my mantra for the week. :)
