@TeresaW2024 Yes, it would ruin everything! And the surgery would be scheduled for 2025 and my deductable would start over which would be very bad. I think I'll be able to come on either Sunday or Monday. Thank you for the good thoughts, prayers, and good vibes, I need them all! LOL Thank you. My head is a little wonky…
-
@theslightedgeforever I think it's that my head hurt so bad, I didn't think about drinking water...I had plenty of liquids that day that had a water component to it (coffee, etc). I woke up with a mini headache and I hope it doesn't turn into a full-blown migraine. I think this one is because I am nervous about tomorrow.…
-
@Katmary71 Yes, it is very frustrating! I would be so mad if I had to delay surgery because of someone else. I'm hanging in there. I've lost 6.4 lbs in a week! Too bad I'm not reporting my weights here. ;) Yeah, I feel bad about my wine comment lol. That's a good idea about delivery, thanks. I'm glad you got what you…
-
@theslightedgeforever Thank you. That's a good reason to not get sick again. Good job with the treadmill and staying within your calories...that must have been hard with homemade treats in the house. @fabgeekmom Thank you. I'm glad your DH is doing well per the doctor. I hope you had a fun family dinner night. Hi all. That…

How do you stay motivated or recover from setbacks if your holiday plans disrupt your routine?
-
@TeresaW2024 Yes we will! I do have a list and I'm not sure I can get it all done but that's okay. I'm getting both excited and nervous. With my knee bothering me so much and losing my mobility so quickly, I am looking forward the the relief of losing weight quickly. So, it's mostly excitement but also anxiety and nerves…
-
@theslightedgeforever Yes, I agree. I thought I would be starving and was worried I would stray from the diet, but I haven't. Yes, if it was this easy to have willpower, I wouldn't have needed the surgery! :) That's great you are getting some movement in while you aren't 100% better. Keep it up! @cbabie Sorry for the gain.…

Congrats @vegan4lyfe2012 for 2nd place by pounds & 3rd place by % as well as congrats go to @morenin for tying for 3rd by pounds! And another shout-out goes to @sleepygirl79 for making it onto the leaderboard! @TeresaW2024 Me too! Oh gosh, those bites looked good but I am on a mission to shrink my liver! lol I am also…
-
@theslightedgeforever I'm sorry about the gain. :( Well, nothing now but I can't chew gum after my surgery (puts too much gas/air in your system) and I don't like chewing gum anyway. Yeah the soup is a Pacfic Foods soup, it's good! My brother's wife made that snowman ornament for us. I love it, too! Thank you, it wasn't…
-
@TeresaW2024 Oh good, I'm glad you got some good sleep! I am doing surprisingly well on this liquid diet. LOL about your discussion with your fat! :) Thank you, it went pretty well. I think the tree is cute, too! :D I'm glad you found the perfect gift for your BFF. Sounds like she will love it! @Cornanda I don't think they…
-
@fabgeekmom Thank you. I hope you enjoyed dinner. Hi all. The Christmas celebration went ok, I got the broth and drank that and we watched a movie. It wasn't too hard except when we first got there: when I told my SIL I couldn't have any wine, she said, "You can't have wine???" and I almost gave in and had a glass but I…
-
@TeresaW2024 Thanks. Yes, up to this next Friday! It's not been bad, honesty. :) I hate when I wake up early like that! Did you go to bed early last night? @Katmary71 Sometimes I use the same one but I do try to keep separate tasks, separate cloths. Oh, I see, well I hope you can get her signature, it's good you know the…
-
@fabgeekmom Me too, it's really good. Yes, and I thought about putting voltaren on my knee but I can't do that, either. Yes, I can't believe the time has come! Good job with the bike. I hope it warms up. I hope you enjoyed steak night. @surananc Hi and welcome! Congrats on your progress, hopefully you can inch back down…
-
@DrewsAnna Good job! Cute pic, too. :) @Katmary71 Thank you. I do feel better now. Thank you, I hope to put some up today! Congrats on the award! I think it's a good idea to do the background check and are you going to get references? @Cornanda I use them to clean my dishes and another one to wipe the counters. They NEVER…
-
@cbabie Sorry about your knee, I can relate to knee pain as you know. Maintaining is good for the holidays, at least you aren't gaining! :) Thank you, they are going well. LOL well talking is better than eating when you are fasting. Thank you! @theslightedgeforever Thank you. It really isn't too bad. My friend who had a…
-
@TeresaW2024 Yes, it really makes a difference! That's true, good point. Yes, they know and they are generally supportive (there is one person that is kind of meh about it but she's like that about everything lol). I love that meal lol, I bet you make a good one! Girl, I haven't even decorated yet! I am about to decorate…
-
@fabgeekmom Thank you. Yes, I hope so. And yes, the broth is a nice treat! I hope the weather is better today. Dinner sounds nice. Hi all. My knee is really bothering me, I could barely walk at work. I don't know if it is because it is supposed to rain and it is cold or if the arthritis is just progressing. I don't think…
-
@micaroo4 Oh my, be careful, Mica! @TeresaW2024 Yes! My migraines have been pretty good, I have had two in the past few months...much less. I think I was taking Naproxen too often: my doctor said that can cause rebound headaches and I think that's what was happening. Thank you! Sorry about the rain. I hope Joe's appt goes…
-
@theslightedgeforever HAHAHA! No, no Oreos! :) I actually had banana yogurt, same brand. I don't necessarily like the Oikos brand, it tastes artificial, but it has high protein so I eat it. I'm sorry you are sick. I'm glad you are listening to your body. How do you feel today? @fabgeekmom If I get hungry, I can have…
-
What challenges do you find most difficult to manage when it comes to maintaining your weight during holiday celebrations?
-
@TeresaW2024 Because I am a broth snob lol. And I want it to have all the best ingredients and the most protein as possible. I figured homemade broth would be better tasting and healthier! Thank you!!!! Sorry about the cold and rain. Good luck with your work! @vegan4lyfe2012 Woo hoo! @morenin Yeah that is frustrating when…
-
@cbabie I hope you don't cancel your appointments then. Sorry about your weekend. I know, it has come really fast! HAHAHA I hope he lives to tell the story, too, but I'm going to be really grumpy this week and he may not survive! LOL I think in the past, my DH said that very same thing. lol @theslightedgeforever lol yeah…
-
Congrats goes to @Cornanda for 2nd place by percentage! And a shout-out to @vegan4lyfe2012 and @baodell17724 for making it into the leaderboard! Way to go! @sleepygirl79 @morenin Congrats on the losses! @Katmary71 Yes, I don't think there are many but this one does! That is correct about Christmas: sit-down dinner. There…
-
@gemwolf110 Yes, maybe so. It was a fun day. Ethiopian food is yummy and fun to eat (you eat with your hands, you use the bread as a utensil!). @fabgeekmom Yes and yes! I'm glad the weather was warmer and you could go for a walk outside. Yummy dinner! Hi all. Instead of Salvadoran food for lunch, we went to Little Italy…
-
@baodell17724 Congrats on the loss! Hi all. It was super warm yesterday here, not to rub it into those that are experiencing cold. It was a high of 80F. It was nice as it's been in the 50s and 60s here lately. I went to a jewelry pop-up event at a jewelry designer's house. She's from Hawaii so has a lot of island-inspired…
-
@fabgeekmom No, she does: I asked my husband and he said she does realize. I think she just wants me to enjoy the holiday. Oh yes, that is like my husband! Good job with the exercise. Too bad it's cold. Enjoy the 50s! @gemwolf110 Hi! Thank you! You both are right, I think. I remember it being very hard to do anything…
-
@vegan4lyfe2012 LOL well darnit. How about writing a letter you'll never send or journaling? Thank you! I think it will be good. Oh, I'm so glad they got approved! I know you are relieved. I'm glad you were able to reconnect with your dad. I'm sorry about the 7 years. I was not connected to my dad when he died, we had a…
-
@cbabie I'm sorry about your bike experience. Was it because of knee pain? Maybe try again in a few weeks. I love buttery cookies. Me too, I have to have a meal plan, even for this liquid diet! Thank you. It should be good. Ah I see. I also don't have cartilage in my knee, that's why it's so hard for me to walk sometimes,…
-
@TeresaW2024 Yes! Girl, you should see my desk lol. I keep cleaning it up and it seems the next day, it is back to piles and messes lol. Good luck! @Katmary71 I hope the right guy comes around for you and by next year, you don't feel that way. I feel pretty good about talking to the hospital. Like you said, I would rather…
-
@fabgeekmom That's true! I start on Tuesday. I can have protein shakes 2-3 times a day, 1 packet of either cream of wheat or oatmeal (plain) made with almond milk 1 time a day, 1 cup of reduced-sodium broth 1 time a day, 1 cup of very loosely pureed soups (not cream of anything, I don't think and nothing that has noodles…
