Morning Ladies...Happy Sunday...Can I ask you ladies for as many shoulders as I can get? I did tell you about my eye surgery Wednesday, not at all looking forward to this. To top things off, my Pulmonary Dr. called me Friday to say that my annual chest ex-ray found something in my lungs that was not there a year ago, he…

March 4 - May 6 Challenge March 4 - 178.4 March 11 - 178.0 March 18 - 177.8 Ill take this loss.....I went back to the eye Dr., and they have found that their is another tear in my retina, I am scheduled for surgery Next Wednesday. Not allowed to go to gym till I have my post op visit to make sure that it doesn't get worse.…

Charlie, Thanks, I am having the surgery sometimes next week, seeing the doc again Thursday for pre-op on the retina. Yes those are the symptoms. At first I though my glasses were dirty, and I was always taking them off and cleaning. I do get bright flashes at nights, so it has kept me from driving. Not really looking…

Charlie, I am typing from my phone, I don't know why everything is in bold....lol

Charlie, I have a torn retna and the start of cataracts in left eye. It's causing blurry vision. Luckily my right eye is not having any problems.

Marney, Good work on your stressful situation. Timeshare salesmen can be as stressful as used car salesman..LOL Hope you conquer your stress as a passenger in Florida, that the worse state to drive in. I lived there for a year, and I hated driving anywhere. You got people from all over the country visiting Florida and they…

March 4 - May 6 Challenge March 4 - 178.4 March 11 - 178.0 Looking at my small loss, looks like I am gaining muscle. I can feel it in my clothes that I am loosing inches. That's ok with me. I have gone to the gym every other day since my last weigh in and really been good on the diet. Going to continue it as much as I can…

Gayle, You are going to really like the "Silver Sneakers". I am not on it yet, (4 more years) but Mike is on it and can go to almost any gym, not just the ymca..... :) Pam, Your spring cleaning urge sounds like a great idea, I know that there is snow outside, but may as well start now and add this activity to my daily…

March 4 - May 6 Challenge March 4 - 178.4 Starting out my challenge .4 higher than I started last challenge Boo to me! This challenge I have made a goal to myself to go to the gym at least 2 to 3 times per week. Weather is going to hopefully start getting warmer soon and I will be able to walk outdoors more (two new parks…

Gayle, looks like we are still stuck in the 170's again...Let's see if we can get out of it, (or at least close) during the next challenge. That will be my main goal for the challenge. :)

Gayle, Great going, this is an awesome loss.. :)

Gayle, Thanks for the info on the challenge, I don't know why it slipped my mind. Also thanks for the info on the Paleo diet. I am not much a meat eater either, in fact, it would not be hard for me to be a vegetarian if needed too, but Mike wants to loose weight as well and I know being a Vegetarian is not for him. The…

Hi Marney: SIL came home Saturday and is doing good, he is on oxygen and will probably have to be on it the rest of his life. But other wise he is doing fine. Thank you for asking. I was reading more on the Paleo diet, and think I will try it out. I am not sure why they are insistence on grass fed beef. I did not know that…

Hi Ladies, hope you are all having a great day. 5+" of snow here, now freezing rain on top of it!... UGH!! Gayle: when is the next challenge starting? I was doing pretty good on this challenge up to the last two week, need to find a new diet. Your Addictocarb Diet sounds really interesting and so does the paleo diet, going…

HAPPY VALENTINE'S LADIES!!!! <3

Hey Gayle, my carbs are becoming addictive too, going to try the Addictocarb Diet. I have tried those Wasa crisp, not too bad, I started eating them when I was trying the 20/20 diet. I ate them with peanut butter for a snack. The white potatoes are going to be hard for me..., but I'll try....

I should at least get out and walk…

Thank you so much, we just found out he has congested heart failure and his iron is low...My daughter is doing ok, but the grand kids are so worried, and I feel so helpless at times. Hope things get better soon for all them.

Slowly, but my son in law is getting better... Prayers are working....

Hi Ladies, I know that I put this on my feed page, but I am reaching out everywhere I can for thoughts and prayers. My son-in-law is in the hospital. I just talked with my daughter this morning, and there were no improvements during the night. His carbon monoxide is getting higher. He has been very ill for the past years…

I posted this on our feed page, but thought I would share here as well, I find this interesting.....During the Super Bowl, the average American consumes over 2400 calories with over 120 grams of fat....The nutrition land mines are pizza, chicken wings and beer........I am making my Weight Watcher Turkey Chili, and drink my…

Goal this week is to walk more. When I run errands, I will park far from the front door and get a little extra walking that…

Sorry I am late Claudine, but WELCOME to our group, Good to have you aboard. I also like the Deep breaths idea that you have. I need to learn to use them as well #7 "I am letting go of yesterday's stress". This one is really hard for me. I hold stress for so long, although exercise and gardening help it a lot. Well, again…

I think we all have some disappointment. I have been good on my diet, going to Y and least 2 days a week, exercising at home, getting better and better about not eating after 8 PM, and yet, in this challenge I have only lost a little over 1 lb. So what is the problem? Hopefully things get better, hope we all get out of…

Alyssadanniele I have found this to be so true, I was using sweeteners all the time because I am and ice tea addict and sweet tea is way to sweet for me. I used sweeteners and heard this same thing about how it made people consume more calories. I stopped all sweeteners cold turkey and I can tell you that I have noticed…

Thanks Gayle, I can really use these.
