Hey NS friends, Beautiful day in the 80's here in NC. Loving the frozen NS foods. Why did I wait so long? Lessons learned. Did a 30 minute walk in Costco yesterday. Knees just don't like when I walk on concrete floors. Pain meds are still working great, just hate to take them. Still have 25 pounds to lose before knee…

Hi Friends, For the first time I have ordered Castco cards. I also finally upgraded to the frozen plan. Actual costs for me is only $30 or so more and after several years of shelf food tastes worth the money. Let's see if this helps me lose the next 100. I too miss our former system of communication. Mostly because I got…

Hi Friends, I've been missing for too long. As I wrote on my MFP last Tuesday I had both knees injected with cortisone and on Thursday I had my left hip injected for bursitis. I have had 5 nights of pain free sleep and I'm actually able to walk. I am feeling blessed to be pain free. Was able to play with the 2 year old…

Hi Amanda and Roger and folks that just read and not post, Wow! You 2 are my heroes! Your posts inspire me to keep going. I'm not finding posts from folks with 100 to lose much less 200 to lose. I'm 105 down with 100 more to lose. Everyday is a struggle for me. I'm pushing myself to stay under 1500 but as you know it is an…

Great news this morning! After a month of a 3 pound gain/loss cycle,the scale finally moved down! That makes 105 pounds gone. I'm no where near your awesome loss Roger but I'm getting there! I am relieved with a bmi of 45. Whew! The doctor that does surgery on my knees will be at the deciding factor. He decides if I'm a…

Thank you Roger! Not able to exercise but I see the orthopedic doc on Wednesday. I am hoping he will schedule me for both knee replacements. You know how you want something but have a fear of getting it. My whole weight loss journey has been motivated by these poor non working knees. In August I was turned down by an…

Hi Val, Bev, Roger, and everyone that reads this thread. Hope all are well, warm and healthy. I've been stuck at the same weight for weeks. I have not been over 1500 calories except 3 times since Christmas. Unfortunately I got stuck after losing 100 pounds 2 years ago and it started a weight gain cycle that I am determined…

Hi Friends! I ordered some samples of the new snacks and they came today. Love getting a little BBB! I tried the salt and vinegar chips. Oh my goodness! I have a new all time favorite. Love the taste and it was a good amount. Will be ordering more of those. Yummy. Roger..... Love having shoes that are comfortable. I am…

It's getting cold here in NC! It is winter and it is supposed to be cold. Happy that I am retired! Felt that I had lost some weight this morning, but not per the scale. Must have been one of those inches gone things. Stayed strong and focused on diet and water today. Sometimes it helps me to have a super focus few days.…

Hi Bev! Glad your new hip is allowing you walk without pain. I am on a journey to get my knees replaced. In August ortho doc said he would not do surgery on me because I have to have a bmi of 40. He wanted me to have weight loss surgery first then he would re evaluate. At that time I had lost 60 pounds and he made me so…

I've not been on this thread since ? July. Not really sure why I stopped visiting ya'll but I definitely need to be back with this wonderful group. I've stayed on track and have lost a total of 103 in 2015. Now I need to get serious with the next 100 pounds. I just started getting some frozen food now that I can add them…

Did y'all get an email saying that there was going to be a new feature on Numi? It said that they had listened to customers and the new site will begin July 22. Hope it is better than what they have now.

Hi Friends On June 26 my father passed away. It was sudden and quick so he did not suffer a long time. On June 27 drove up to Va because my oldest daughter gave birth to a healthy 10.5 pound baby boy and on Sunday June 28 my other son In law (1 hour away) was admitted to the hospital for cellulitis. Luckily he is a healthy…

Congratulations Sue on being down 3 dress sizes! I am doing a happy dance for you! If you don't mind telling us how long have been on the program and how much lost? I started the end of January and have lost over 60 but I am still wearing my 5x tops which are baggy but I'm not confident to start wearing my 3 x stuff. Pant…

Hey y'all, Did you see or receive a message from NS to enter a contest? 7 grand prize winners will receive a month of free food. You can enter daily. I filled it out then got suspicious and read the rules. I decided not to enter because the company sponsoring the event has rights to my name and biological information. Am I…

No more grumpy cat from me today! Doing a happy dance because I have ac and it is 96 degrees outside! Upstairs needed a transformer, new filters and batteries for the controller on the wall. Downstairs there was an electrical problem which this amazing 20 year old fixed. Feeling blessed and the bill is less than I could…

Oh my goodness ROGER! You continue to amaze me. Lol....... You are so right about so much stuff! Both ac units did not poop out at the same time. They were both put in about 10 years ago. The upstairs one stopped working last fall but because we added new siding and new windows to the whole house the 2 of us did just fine…

Finally home and neither the top or bottom air conditioners are working. It's high 90's but we have all fans on full speed. How did our grandparents get by before air conditioning? Of course back then we did have 3 big oak trees in the front yard and the windows were huge enough to walk out on the tin roof. This country…

Hi friends! I am at the Carolina coast with little to zero wifi. I miss reading about y'all. I am going through withdrawal. I had to read fast and have not caught up. Sue........beautiful pictures. Missing everyone and thinking about y'all. This is the best group of folks and I am supporting you in my mind and heart. Got…

Thanks Lesa. It is a privilege to care for our parents but it isn't always easy.

Congratulations to all that are losing, wearing white pants and moving forward. Hang in there if you are stuck! Talking/writing about it does help. I am having one of those rare special days....all my buttons have been pushed.....someone please come and stop me from crazy eating.....meeting with the staff at the rehab…

Congratulations on the decrease in blood pressure and being cavity free!

Big giggles! Thank you Roger I now have a new theme song "the hippy hippy shakes" by the swinging blue jeans.

Thank you for my morning giggle!

Good morning y'all, Finally woke up early enough to post! Roger ........ Thinking of you and hoping you are getting dried out. Kat..........this is the first year that my knees have not allowed me to garden. I'm not even able to get on the john Deere and I love to cut our 3 acres. I'm getting better...walking 10 minutes a…

Oops I was thinking of Sue and I should have said welcome back Bev! Sorry I got the names wrong but you know I am thinking of both of you.

Roger......I agree with Sue. Bailing water has to be an activity worth lots of calories burned. So sorry this happened to you. Good luck with the repairs. Sue..... Welcome home my friend. We missed you but glad to have you back and getting on track. You are always a winner cause you don't quit. "Bless my biscuits" I am…

That is just funny! True but really funny.

Hi y'all, Hope you don't mind me popping in. My new favorite is oatmeal cranberry bites for breakfast. Seems like I get cookies for breakfast!

Roger..........love love love the cartoons!
