  • Ashley, I'm actually hoping to make it to San Antonio next year. Did you see the NS ad I posted on the DTR thread a week or two ago of a friend who'd won one of the NS contests and was in one of their photo shoots? She lives in San Antonio and I want to get down there to visit her and just haven't yet. She's also commented…
  • We're getting quite a group here. I'm curious what everyone's doing to lose weight and get healthier. I'm on Nutrisystem, and I'm really pleased with the progress I'm making. I'm exercising six days a week. I had total knee replacement surgery February 25 (which is actually my daugther's (the bride) birthday. Because of…
  • Thanks, LIz! I sent you a friend request. :)
  • I'd be happy to share support. I'm not a bride, but a MOB. My girl is getting married in October and I'm determined to be a hot, sassy Mama. LOL. What are your goals? I'd like to lose 52 pounds and have lost 19 so far. :) Regards, Jayne
  • I forgot to mention that my daughter has decided she needs a fanny pack for the money dance. She has a rather warped sense of humor. So, I need to make a fanny pack, too. She wants it to be gold and coral and I have just the shiny gold fabric for it! I'll post pics when it's done.
  • I'm 6'1" so I never get called cute! How refreshing. LOL. Thank you for your kind words. :)
  • Welcome! We're here to help. Wow, you do have a lot of men in your life! LOL. My daughter is actually my stepdaughter though her father and I have been divorced for four years. She's 29 and when I married her father, she was 7. She was a little girl in desperate need of a mother (her biological mother has never had many…
  • It went great! I really like Kevin's parents. Kevin is very shy, and he was actually teasing me a bit yesterday, which was fun to see. We loved him from the moment we met him. :) His parents are very personable, and as we were sitting there chatting, I thought, "Someday I'll share grandchildren with these people and I'm…
  • Ashley, I am SO PROUD OF YOU!! That's fantastic! Hold your head up high, Girl! :)
  • Thanks, Cindy! Do you know which DVD that's from? It's difficult to do it on my PC, but I'll do it if that's my only option for avoiding the hams! LOL. :)
  • Well, I did 3 miles with Leslie--just got done. Love, love, love the endorphins! But, I won't be using this DVD again. Her "walkers" were a bunch of folks who kept hamming it up for the camera. Ugh. I really like Leslie, but I don't enjoy watching the ham show. So, I'll have to find another one. In the meantime, if I want…
  • I'm off to meet my daughter's future in-laws this afternoon. We wanted to meet previously but it never came together and then I had total knee replacement, so we're finally meeting today! I'm really excited. I drove by a nursery yesterday they had beautiful hanging flower pots, so I stopped in and got one to give them this…
  • There are a couple grocery stores in my area that carry it, and I've purchased it from the Vitacost website as well. another item I always have in the house is Walden Farms 0-calorie chocolate sauce. SO good!
  • Thank you! All this talk of hiking. It's seriously making me want to go hike now that I can hike again (had total knee replacement surgery February 25)!
  • Thanks! I just got back from Walmart. Their website indicated they had at least 10 of her DVDs in stock. They had one! And, only one copy of it. Fortunately, it wasn't the one I have. :)
  • Just did a brisk two-mile walk with Leslie Sansone and now I'm off to the grocery store. I'm meeting my daughter's future in-laws tomorrow! They're BBQing for us and they're so sweet--they're making chicken and salad because they know all us girls are dieting! My daughter asked them if I could bring dessert, so I'm making…
  • Thank you! Did it again this morning, so another two miles for me! Yay! Have you seen her DVDs before? I just love her! So many exercise DVDs are done by people who are perky beyond belief, and she's perky but not to the point of being annoying. LOL. :) I hope you enjoy them!
  • Good job, Wen! Ashley, post away. Might as well give them the opportunity in case they haven't seen it. Some of us are in multiple challenges to keep ourselves motivated. :) Speaking of motivation, since I committed to doing this and it's May 1, I dusted off my Leslie Sansone DVD and meant to select the one-mile gentle…
  • I love spaghetti squash, too! The other night, I sauteed it with mushrooms, onion, and garlic and then put my entree (can't remember which one, sorry!) on top of it. It was so good. Well, now that I typed that, I think I need to do the same thing tonight. LOL. I also add onions and mushrooms to my pizzas. For the SS…
  • I'm in! I like that it's purposeful. My fitbit tells me I've already walked almost 4 miles today, but that was just a little bit here and a little bit there--I've been taking round-about paths to everything at work to up my step count. But, making it purposeful for this challenge, I'll have to think about getting an actual…
  • +1 on the Chihuly Garden!

  • Another seamstress! Yay! I'm making my daughter's dress, too, but I drew the line at the bridesmaids. We went to the bridal shop a couple weeks ago and now I know what she wants. I have it designed, but she's losing weight, too, so I'm not going to start working on it yet. You never know, I may be too stressed to make my…
  • Congrats on the 6!!
  • For something a little offbeat, you could go see the Fremont Troll. We've done it a couple times and it's a fun photo op. It's nothing too exciting, but enjoyable. http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2236

  • MOB here! My daughter's wedding isn't until October, so I do have a bit more time than you (and probably more to lose, too, by the sound of it!). I've lost 18 since I started on March 7 and I'll be at my goal weight if I lose another 34. If I keep on track, at 1.5 pounds per week, I'll make it! My daughter's always been…
  • I did! Are you going to come talk to us? :)
  • Hi, Linda. I've been tracking on MFP, but decided to join the community here for the same reason. Hoping to connect with some NSers on this site
  • I've moved over from NS as well. I wasn't part of your thread there, but looking to connect with others on NS here on MFP. Do you welcome newcomers? :)
