Quick goooooood morning! I skimmed and will catch up soon. Pumpkin, my outdoor cat, finally returned this morning! Makes my heart happy! My dog Ginger pouts when her porch buddy isn’t around. I’m taking a silversmithing course. Day 1 was yesterday. We made earrings :) and today / tomorrow we’re making a ring! The house…

Happy 4th to those that celebrate! Last night I saw more lightening bugs than I ever have in my life! I don’t recall our woods this way last year so am curious how it came to be they chose here. Off to make my shortcake - Have a fabulous day! Leslie from the Ozark’s

Welcome Niki I’m fairly new here too and the support is lovely! You can do it!! I just started over a week ago and am serious about losing over 90 pounds! Debbie This may or may not help… But when my MIL (86) wasn’t very kind to me I would imagine her as a child. I know that she had a very tough childhood in the UK post…

Thank you Barbie for the support of this community! A new month and a new set of possibilities! Here’s an intro for new folks in spoiler: I hope everyone is doing well. It’s a pretty sunny day here and we’ll be making a trash haul. We do that typically weekly. This is the first time I’ve joined a community online and am…

These days meat is so expensive! I bought two large racks of boneless pork ribs and made 3 different meals! The first was carnitas tacos (after slow cooking you fry the pork in its own juice and create caramelized bits in with the juicy parts.) I had some carnitas left over and it went into the fridge. (3 cups) The other…

Beth near Buffalo Holy cannoli! The calm and presence of mind you had in that moment is amazing! I pray I will too should I ever need to do it. Wow! Allie Happy Birthday!! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie It’s blown glass but from Amazon! I love our hummingbirds! Dad is a lot better today. He was the first one up on…

I’ll need to figure something out on moving. Likely Gilad or some other online move it show. Lol

Katla Sending your DH all the best healing energy and support along with prayers for you and the kids. Enjoying the last of the cooler weather this morning. It was 55 degrees out on my porch this morning! (High of 89 expected today!) We likely won’t see this again until the end of August start of September. Hello full…

“I’m going to have to science the S#%^ out of this!” - The Martian Hah It would make it easier for sure. I’m trying to stick to a consistent breakfast after a morning lemon water routine. I try and push the breakfast out and run a few hours on just the water. Also I’m sticking to relatively similar times of day for lunch…

Pretty sure this is right… I missed a post! Me: 6 LNS: 0 Keep on keepin’ on!!

I LOVE this!! Haha I’m absolutely certified on the nagging front! He’s 5 years older so I need him to take his health seriously. You know… He will definitely come around once he sees me making real strides and not backing down from my goals!

annpt77 - Thank you!! I will take your feedback and start today. I’m in this for the long haul so I might as well trust the deficit calculation, including any exercise added, is working to plan. I so appreciate your help!!

Good morning all from The Ozark’s! It’s 61 degrees and I’m in heaven! Sitting on my porch watching hummingbirds and listening to the light pat of rain and other sounds of nature! Dinner with friends from Texas was so much fun last night. It’s great to connect. Hair appointment this morning! Yay! I love having my hair done.…

My main focus has been logging my food and trying to stay 'under' my calorie deficit and above 1200 calories. So far I'm 5 for 5 days! B) The other part is no 'late' night snacking and getting more sleep. For me it's not easy to go to bed before 11pm at night or so but I'm working on it. I haven't started moving…

Springlering62 - THANK you! I agree completely on putting in the work and no magic bullet. I do know that time passes fast and I can take advantage of it by being committed daily. I'm all about committing to it. I truly hope I can get my hubby to do the same. Right now though - I have to focus on my own health. I feel 26!…

Good morning from the Ozark’s! Cool, beautiful morning watching the hummingbirds and enjoying the peace. :smile: Have a super day all. I’m really proud of myself for sticking 5 days in a row with my calorie deficit! Lisa Happy Anniversary! You two are a handsome couple! Congrats!! Machka Beautiful! Love the beach. Heather…

Ngbalance1 - Agreed!! We GOT this!!

Good morning all from The Ozark’s! It’s a pretty morning and everyone in my house is up and going. Reminder - Parents and sis live with and two of my kids and the fiancé of my middle daughter. Daughter and Fiancé live in in a large RV to the left of us. They’ll be moving soon to a place about 45 min away. DH has been…

Ann - I saw that recently about age and metabolism so here’s to making the most now! MFP is a great tool for me and it keeps me honest. I’m determined to keep it going this time. What a great accomplishment on the weight!! Congrats! Kbrojacko I have totally been there (heck I am THERE!) but this time I’m trying to stay…

Hello from The Ozark’s! All I hope your days and evenings are going well! Debbie - Got it!! It’s not easy dealing with that kind of vitriol. :neutral: Boo! Hope it all turns around for you! Kim Good grief! I can’t imagine and I hope you and yours stay safe!! I’m 3 for 3 logging calories and getting a little more active.…

Barbara - Good to know! Thank you for letting me know. <3

Debbie- - In 2017 I invited my MIL to move in with us. We were in Tennessee at the time. I was still working and hubby was retired. It worked out for us. My husband has always been the ‘stay at home’ Dad / cook / cleaner while my kids were young and I have been the corporate bread winner. We agreed she could no longer live…
