Yes Ladies, we all had the grumbles, I can not point to the exact cause, but I know I had them.. I am working better. Welcome Claudine, like Charlie said, Claudine is the workout queen, she's a very sweet lady, and will be a great addition to our group. This is a great group and I enjoy being a part of it. I do like it a…

January 1, 2016 Challenge January 1 - 178.0 January 8 - 177.6 = -.4 January 15 - 177.2 = -.8 January 22 - 176.6 = -1.4 January 29 - 176.2 = -1.8 YEA! I'm getting there, Still another week of baby steps, I'm working my butt off, should be more, but I will take a loss any day.

Charlie, glad you are feeling better. :) That was really nice of you to watch the grandkids while the DIL went out for the evening. My daughter loves it when I have her kids and she gets time for herself. I agree with you, exercise is great, it makes you feel so much better, more active and I don't feel so sluggish.

Pam - I agree that most light recipes are including sugars, I have been using agave in its place, thinking it was better. Now you have me wanting to read up on agave, ...LOL Like what you did with you baklava, how does it taste? I don't know if its considered Light? But then have you read labels on light things? I looked…

OUCH!! Those odds do not sound too good. I will have to mentally remember this, and control my eating. Thanks for the heads up! :#

Charlie, you are lucky you haven't had snow. I am on the outskirts of Cincinnati, we had a little over 3". I am not a fan of the snow at all. My son lives in VA, and he had over 13" at his house, he works at a small airport in VA and they had over 3 feet. YUK! Since you like snow, next time we get snow, I will send it your…

Everybody looks to have had a good week. Charlie, hope that your back gets better soon. We have almost 3" of snow on the ground, both of us are so board, we are limited to what we can do. The sun is out now, so hopefully it will all melt. Hope you are all having a great weekend, if it has snowed your way, hope it melts…

Thank you Marney, Yes, this was a tough week for us both. Everything is going great now, glad that the scare is over.

Mary, they seemed to have made a lot of changes. Half of us can not even view a diary, I can on my phone, but not my computer, others are having trouble with their post showing up twice when they only put it in once, and there are other problems. I am not sure how we can let them know.. I am just hoping that they…

Hello Gayle, hope you get better soon! Take it easy!

January 1, 2016 Challenge January 1 - 178.0 January 8 - 177.6 = -.4 January 15 - 177.2 = -.8 Going slow, but I am loosing. Starting back at the Y today, going to start some weight training and hope that gets the lbs. off me...We'll see!! :)

Marney, we should all take your mom's advice, and keep our weight within 5 lbs..LOL I know that I would have a hard time doing that, but it does sound great. :)

Welcome Back Mary!!!! Glad to have you aboard, remember that we are are human, and losing control is only natural.. Always glad that your back! :)

I know what you mean about the muddy paws, I just have a little schnauzer, and my hardwood is covered in paw prints... LOL If I could send the snow I would be happy to...... :)

. I hope your back gets better soon. When you have a back ache you don't want to do anything. I was 177.8 yesterday morning, good all day and before bed I was 179. How did that happen? I think I am going to start weighing myself only once a week on Friday morning, so not to get discouraged UGH! :(

Gayle, I think it is great that Oprah is becoming the face for WW. I did go to WW a few times before signing up with MFP, and I will admit that I sometimes still follow some of their diet (recipes, tips). MFP is more for me, I don't think meetings etc. were my cup of tea. I agree that it is a great program, but MFP is lot…

January 1, 2016 Challenge January 1 - 178.0 January 8 - 177.6 -.4 New Year is starting off better than I was doing, I am loosing a little, guess it will be baby steps but at least it's a loss. Hoping that we all have a better body in the New Year!

January 1 - 178.0 Hope that you all had a great New Years. I ended up going to…

Gayle, I have come to the conclusion that until all our celebrations are over we are not always going to loose. I plan on being good all week, but I know as of New Years Eve (Mike has already plans to go to Red Lobster) I will eat everything in site, probably won't even dare log that day...LOL.. Have a great time with you…

I am up also, and I think after the holidays it will probably be up more. I agree, January is coming, and a new challenge and new start...We will all make it.....

You really didn't do that bad Gayle, I think we are all struggling. My diet is whacked out as well, and this week I know it will not be any better. My son is coming in from Virginia Wednesday and I will get to celebrate Christmas with all my kids Saturday. So you see my diet will suffer this week also. When does the New…

November 6 - 175.0 November 13 - 176.4 November 20 - 175.8 November 28 - 178.0 December 4 - 177.7 December 12 - 177.0 Hi Ladies, I did better than expected this week, been so busy getting thing ready for our Christmas next Saturday. My son is coming in from Virginia and we will be celebrating early. Looking forward to…

Gayle, You did great this week, I think your going to pass that 170 mark soon. Isn't there a way the MFP can correct your number of logging days. :)

November 6 - 175.0 November 13 - 176.4 November 20 - 175.8 November 28 - 178.0 December 4 - 177.7 = Total +2.5 = It's only a little, but on the way back down YEA Hi Ladies, cold morning here in Cincy, suppose to get into the 40's (heat wave...LOL), Hope everyone has a great day and clean eating to everyone.. :)

Gayle, Yes, we are 70's sisters.LOL.... One of these days we will get past that point.....I was hoping I could do it before the new years, don't think that will happen, seems I keep gaining, and I am watching what I eat. I will confess, I am not exercising like I should, guess I will push myself to do so.

November 6 - 175.0= November 13 - 176.4 = +1.4 = No excuse for my gain...... November 20 - 175.8 = +0.8 = YEA.. back on track November 28 - 178.0 = +3.0 = No Excuse Hope everyone has a great day and a great weekend. I have a lot to do to get rid of that extra weight that I thought I was doing good at getting rid of..

Gayle, glad you had that courage, been there before when someone your living with will not leave. You hate to be mean, but you need to do what you need to do. I will be weighing in on Saturday this week, I over did it today. No were near that 170 mark. LOL :D
