@melaniedscott Thanks. I do plan on continuing to work hard. @pacsnc6 Thanks. Yes, I'm enjoying working days. It's so much nicer than working nights. I will continue working on my weight loss journey. I hope you continue to do well also. Everyone keep up the good work!

@minstrelofsarcasm @melaniedscott I think it's time for me to leave the team. Thanks for all your hard work!

@kirsten11872 We can be bookends.😉 In October I found out I have arthritis in my right knee. I went to physical therapy for 6 weeks and that helped a lot. Not really pain anymore, more just discomfort now and then. Then I managed to twist wrong and hurt my back and right hip. My chiropractor took xrays and found arthritis…

@minstrelofsarcasm Sorry. I posted my weights the wrong way. No wonder everyone is confused. PW: 207.4 CW: 208.2

tryingagain5 Wednesday week 4 PW: 208.2 CW: 207.4 + .4 I"ll take the small gain. I did pretty well most of the week with eating. Not a lot of exercise. The days I didn't do well with eating was Sunday....don't know what my problem was but I kept eating all day...almost like a teenager with a bottomless pit. Last night one…

@ljdanny I was told the same thing. It would need to be done again and I would really rather not have it done at all if I can help it....which means getting rid of the extra weight. Breaking the bones in your knee and rebuilding it sounds pretty bad too. I can see why you panicked and chickened out. I would have too. I…

@sleepymom5 Sounds like you had a great time! I understand the doing well/not doing well roller coaster. Seems like I do that often. We all know what to do, you'd think it wouldn't be so difficult for us.🙄😁 I've lost and gained the same weight since I was an adult. Now that I've been told there's arthritis in my knee, hip…

@sleepymom5 One of my neighbors, who is a retired nurse, got me some easy on compression socks this summer, which helped for a while but then I ended up having cold feet and ankles first while wearing them and eventually they were cold all the time, even when not wearing them. I went to the doctor to checked for that. The…

@debbiewsharpe Me too! Definitely not ready for anything like that. My knee actually has been feeling pretty good lately but the pain in my back and hip is what's causing issues right now. I was hurting on Friday but yesterday was pretty good, except for when I first got up. I did move around a lot and I'm sure that…

@sleepymom5 Glad you didn't really hurt yourself too much in your fall. Have a great time with your son. It is interesting how our bodies say we're older than we think we are.😁 I stand for 8 hours at work and my ankles swell too. I know the extra weight doesn't help that issue either. I know the extra weight causes these…

@debbiewsharpe That sounds good. Next time I go to the store I'll have to remember to see if I can find them.

@callsitlikeiseeit Oh, good glad you made it through and that the temperature is above freezing.

@debbiewsharpe I don't know what collards are(guessing a vegetable of some sort) but your meal sounds delicious. 8 below sure is cold. The next day was 8 above. Today it's 21 degrees and Tuesday is supposed to be 40. What a heat wave.😉 Thanks. My back is what hurts the most bug hopefully with working with my trainer will…

@lennoncpa I'm glad that you said your muscles feel good and strong even with 2 fake hips and arthritis in your body. That makes me feel better that my muscles will feel better again too. I know I need to move more because if I sit too long I get stiff when I get up. Good incentive for me to exercise (or at least move…

@sleepymom5 I hope your leg heals from your fall. I can see why you were embarrassed about your daughters boyfriend having to help you up. I would have been too but glad he was there to help you. Yes, I think you are a little older but not by much.😉 I'm 51. I was really surprised first about having arthritis in my knee and…

@melaniedscott I hope you feel better soon!

@callsitlikeiseeit I hope your power doesn't go out again. Stay safe.

I'm still dealing with my hip and back issue but am glad the arthritis in my knee isn't causing me much pain anymore. The chiropractor did xrays last week and I found out the results today. He told me there is arthritis in my right hip and lower back too. It's not much but it's starting. That's probably why I'm having more…

@sleepymom5 I'm glad you're looking at some of the positive things you've done this week. My trainer likes to remind me to do that since I tend to look at the negative things instead, which isn't very helpful. That's not good to be without power and water, especially with the really cold temperatures they've been having. I…

@kandi3570 Thank you. Congrats on quitting smoking.

@sleepymom5 Thanks! I need to continue with going down instead of the back and forth. I get you on the chocolate. If there's chocolate anywhere near me it "jumps" into my mouth!🤣 Hope you enjoyed your mani/pedi. It is funny how people in warmer states have a different idea of what cold is. To us it's funny that they will…

@pacsnc6 You're right about it all being perspective with temperatures. My oldest nephew grew up in Michigan but has lived in California for several years. I'm guessing his blood has thinned some since he's lived there. When he comes home to visit he's always cold. I agree with your mom, if it's over 45 here in the winter…
