hello and welcome, q88…. hope you are still motivated and taking steps towards a healthy goal 🙂 It’s been a while since I checked in. Status quo here. I could eat healthier… I could weigh less…. I could be kinder to myself 🙃. Same stuff, lol. Hope everyone is staying as well as possible!

happy to hear you’ve found your groove, Shel, and that this part of your life is going well 😎 Keep up the great attitude. More dedication to your work out and less importance on foodstuffs 😇 as for me, I’m doing fairly well on my mission to drink less alcohol. I’ll never quit it altogether, but that’s ok. Food wise I’m…

awww, Shel….. I figured it would eventually come to this for you, but I’m so so sorry 😔. I am fortunate enough to have not experienced a loved one with dementia. I can’t possibly imagine. 😢 You couldn’t possibly bore me. Everyone’s life experience is unique to them…. Yes, we have our similarities as a species, but I don’t…

HI Shel, So glad to see you check in… congrats on your determination, amidst what has to be a very challenging (understatement) time in your life. I truly feel for you. I don’t have the mastery of words that you do, but I do have an endless supply of empathy 🤗 A 7k walk and Intermittent fasting! Good going, Shel!!! Keep up…

Hello all, I'm sorry for your personal struggles, Shel. safe hugs to both you and your wife. I have also fallen off the wagon, so to speak. again. such is life. Please keep coming back, as your life situation allows…. I can't begin to imagine all the plates you must keep spinning. My issues are depression-related, but not…

good morning all. Just checking in. Regressed a few pounds. I know what to do. I just don’t really wanna? Gotta re-find my motivation. 😎

welcome, cmoak. we can all support one another here, wherever we are on our journey :) we have faith in you…. and you can borrow it anytime :) happy wednesday and last day of April everyone.

hello all. Hope everyone had a lovely Easter. I had two of my children home 🥰 it’s been hard for me to get back on track, but I’ll get there. I’ve been getting plenty of steps in, so at least there’s that 😎. Just wanted to check in.

thanks for your perspective, Patricia. and CONGRATS on being within three pounds! good for you! I'm glad for you, that it's not really a hard journey for you. i can't say the same, but everyone is different. I really like the 250 steps in an hour goal…. i think i'll steal that from you :) I'm the opposite about…

Hey everyone! just checking in. status quo here. all is…. well? (if one can ignore world news)

good Wednesday to you all. been doing yardwork instead of going to the gym, but it's all good. no self-punishing ;) will attend my classes today. hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there! safe hugs!

Onwards indeed! Always enjoy your posts, Shel. (thanks for the compliment, blush) Mid-50s here and my eating behavior is much easier to reign in when I'm not buying items for visiting young adult children. My spouse has much better self control and can look at a bowl of chocolate candies and not eat any, or stop at ONE…

Happy Saturday to you all. it's been a lovely day in Sunny North Carolina. Lot's of outdoor time with nature, new friends, and a child visiting from college. Hope you all are well. Myra

Shel wrote: "highly reflective on how I disassociated again from the impact(s) of what I choose to eat and how my body responds" this is such a poetic description of how I operate under stress! Your words resonate with me, Shel, and I shall contemplate on them. thank you.

hugs back to you too, Yirara. I have had one "good" night….. that's a start :) college daughter visiting… I have to remember i could eat like her….. 40 years ago! lol Happy Friday to you all.
-
hello everyone. One day at a time :) I'm glad threads like these have helped you in the past, Shel, and it will help you once again. I tend to do my emotional eating at night, and after drinking alcohol, so…. i'll cut back on the alcohol. baby steps. we can do this!

hello everyone, I am inspired by all your posts.... and I'm angry at how are being treated, Janet. so not fair, but, from what i hear, it's the norm. I'm glad you know how to speak up for yourself! I know these are the busiest years with my girls, and that i'll miss the activity.... but after this past week, i'm admit…

today I am grateful for a new day, and another chance to make better decisions. @OConnell5483 :smiley:

happy belated birthday, Karla! yesterday, i was slammed. how does a stay at home mom get slammed? but, i was. and my food choices were not good. today is a new day! glad Janet got through surgery, and hope recovery goes smoothly. My sister sailed through hers too. I'm grateful to all of you dear folks. :smile:
-
Thanks for your kind words, ladies. Janet- I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Ironically, My sister is also having surgery tomorrow morning, not so drastic---just her knee (cleaning up cartilage) you will both be on my mind. I have a six mile walk planned with a friend and am so looking forward to it! Myra
-
TT: today, i will track every bite.

Hello all. I'm also having trouble getting back into the swing of things. Many prayers to keep in mind for daughters and surgeries (& a long recovery time, yikes), and potential moving.... I have missed being a part of the group and hope to get reorganized enough to return. In the meantime, I've gained some weight and lost…

Today i am grateful i thought of OConnell5483 when i learned the Packers won! :)
-
Hello group. Just checking in. Been eating "cleaner" since the start of the new year, but i have a way to go. Baby steps. Hope everyone is keeping the good fight. ~Myra
-
waiving hello to everyone! i'm still alive :) I promised myself I'd only post positive things today, so here's to an upcoming much improved year..... hear that 2017? yep, good things are happening. I have missed all of you. happy new year, Myra
-
today I'm grateful for re-suming. and doing it in a non-judgmental forum, with people i respect. so, thanks for that. i'm also very grateful 2016 is over. gone. bye bye.

Hi Shel, My husband has had success with weight loss using "ketosis". me, not so much. I tend to faint, for whatever reason. a state of ketosis requires an ultra strict "diet" to achieve and maintain, and it's my personal opinion that it is not a healthy long-term regime. (but i only have about 20 pounds of fat to burn…

wowsers, i've missed so much. I remember one of you being on "team puppy"..... well, you won! he's now 9 weeks old and his name is "boomer", weighs 1.6 pounds and is maltese with a bit of poodle mixed in. and his middle name is "little piddles"! Need I say more? the carpet cleaner is getting a great workout..... and now…

YAY! for new little siblings :) i anticipated a slow and rainy weekend here, but the sun is out already. so, i think our weekend plans are still up in the air. there is a harry potter movie marathon on TV, but I'd like to get my little girls outside since the weather has improved...... we shall see. a non-event weekend…

Janet is in recovery, Suzi is sleep-deprived, Patti has a family crisis, and Karla is finishing her root canal. suddenly, I feel pretty darned good! perspective is a wonderful thing. "old lady core class" is just as it sounds..... but they call it "core and more" after many frustrating years, my physical therapist talked…
