Ria you could always send him here for a vacation, he could vacuum the pool and clean the yard for me and when the fun wears off he can get the little one down for a nap lol

I live in Virginia . Right now I have been unsuccessfully trying to convince my 2 1/2 year old grandson to take his nap :( at this point I…

I understand how you feel. I lost about 45 lbs since last August and I'm just coming out of a two month depression myself. I didn't log my food and I barely had the energy or drive to do any exercising. I was barely getting in 1-2,000 steps a day. Then slowly I started getting back on track. This is actually my first week…

Hello Kimberly, I'm Linda , 53, also in Virginia

I suffer from terrible migraines also. When I get one I limit my exercise to walking and make sure I'm drinking enough water. I sometimes get so sick to my stomach that eating is difficult. But I can usually eat my standby steel cut oats with blueberries and I add cinnamon and chia/flax seeds (I have some that I have…

If I remember the last time I went I ordered grilled shrimp and got double veggies (I'm pretty sure it was broccoli) and a side salad...I never really use dressing, ask for the dressing on the side, and of course water to drink Enjoy the special time with your family :smile:

Hope everyone is having a great day :smile: hoping to have an hour or two to myself today to get some sewing done. Sondre: Welcome Lisa: I have that same habit of checking the scale a little more often than I probably should. I have heard it said both ways...only once a week or you get discouraged, and also everyday so you…

How's everyone doing? Sorry I've been a bit MIA this week. Was finally feeling a bit better from a stomach virus from last week when I started with what I thought was a cold. Then was feeling worse so I thought maybe the flu. Ended up having a severe case of strep throat :( And to make matters worse I gave it to DH which…
-
Lisa-you're quilt sounds absolutely amazing, can't wait to see pics. I love sewing and right now I'm working on making reusable grocery bags, baby burp clothes, and kids aprons to sell. Terri-I completely understand your frustrations. My definition of DH used to be Dick head lol. After a major meltdown last summer, things…

Sylvia-I just had to say thanks for the great laugh. I'm still laughing every time I think about it. Glad you made it out safely and didn't fall and get hurt. Terri-sorry about your son being cut from the team. Had a similar experience with my daughter when she was in HS many moons ago. Some people have no business being…

Good morning ladies! Hope everyone has a wonderful day today. We just returned from a trip to Florida to see my parents. Although I talk to my mom on the phone almost every day, I hadn't actually seen her in over 3 years. It was a nice visit, always hard to leave them. And of course my eating and exercising took a hit…

Good morning Mary. I am getting ready to turn 53. Last August my husband and I decided to completely change our eating habits and we started taking walks. My weight has come down over 40 pounds

Good morning all. Just sat here reading through the last few days of posts, I should fit right in here because given the chance I'll talk your ear off :smile: Your posts have made me smile, laugh, and cry a bit. It would be an honor and a pleasure to join in with you all. I'm Linda from Virginia (looks like I'm Linda from…

I'll be 53 in July and I'm 5'2". Been on this journey since mid August. I needed to lose at least 50 lbs. I have about 10 more to go. Losing weight at our age is a little more difficult than when we were younger, but definitely not impossible. I'm here if you want to friend me. I'd be happy to give you support and…
