Mo - Healthy Choice are perfect for you to take to work. I'm glad you mentioned them. I had forgotten about Healthy Choice - currently $2.77 to $3.42 at my Walmart. Amy's are $5.92- they are the ones I used to get them for $3.00 at Grocery Outlet 😥. Most Lean Cuisines are $3.47. I see there are some lower carb meals with…

That looks yummy. If they drop off the teleporter in the next 10 minutes I'll be right over so save me a plate. 😁 Lanette

Heather - You always prepare such delicious meals. I remember the years when I was working long hours, I had a freezer full of frozen meals - usually Weight Watchers or Lean Cuisine and later Amy's. Even though they are supposedly "healthy" the prices have been driven up tremendously and I refuse to pay $6 for something I…

MFP Weekly Check-In 8-4-25 Kylia in Ohio - Weight still bouncing between 140-141. So plateaued there which is better than going up. Now to get going the other direction while enjoying life. So thankful for this lovely group of ladies! Rita in Roswell, NM – MFP says I'm up a pound but my math shows me 1.48 pounds down.…

Beth - neat that your son is doing well pursuing his weight loss goals and the food/shopping choices are good for the whole household. Yes, there is definitely a lot of conflicting information about protein. Even the ZOE video from yesterday left me with questions. The 2 presenters didn't exactly contradict each other in a…

Allie - Delia gets more adorable with every picture you post. Look at her hair and those eyes. 😍Sounds like you have Sean all fixed up with that new helmet, glad he wasn't hurt and his bike is OK. How far is his commute to work? Lisa - thank you for the flowers link. I stopped in at Walmart today and check out theirs -…

Good afternoon ladies! Kay - great job on the weight loss, especially considering what a stressful few months you've had dealing with your brother's passing, mom & Possum and Jasper. The weight loss program you've been following is a keeper. Great tip on not keeping the sugary stuff in the house otherwise it's too easy to…

Ginny - glad the Vet was open on Saturday and Zombu is no longer suffering. 16. You gave her a wonderful life for many years. (((HUGS))) Glad you didn't hurt yourself when you tripped. You are too busy for that, right? 😀 Pip - Ethel has such intelligent looking eyes and face. Did you and Kirby notice that too? So glad…

Tina - love those photos, thank you so much for sharing. What I like about the UK and Ireland is the beautiful architecture - amazing to think of those buildings erected during the middle ages (and some earlier) without the aid of modern engineering and cranes. The USA is pretty young by comparison. Lanette😎 SW WA State

Carol - your adorable grandkids are growing up so fast. Love seeing the photos through the years. I remember photos of them in elementary school. Hope the MRI helps diagnose your back/leg problem. Debbie - hope the sales go well this weekend. Good luck with the squat challenge. You remind me that next time I'm in town I…

Barbie - thank you for bringing us into August. Time marches - no, races on! So I went to the road crew BBQ again last night, hosted by the same couple where I also attended several weeks ago. T and her husband couldn't make it, so I went alone which was not a big deal since I already knew a lot of the folks there. A…

Carol - how was your visit with the ortho doc? So sorry to hear your leg is affected. Hope there's a remedy that can get you active again. Machka - do you have bumblebees there? The fireweed growing along my sidewalk is now over 6' tall and the pink flowers are covered with the friendly native bumblebees. I often stand out…

Michele - It's time to talk all of this out with her and Colby right now in the early days and find something that works and tell her your concerns. She might already have good ideas for making meal prep easy and comfortable for everyone in the house. I would personally find it too congested if I were trying to prepare…

Ginny - Happy Retirement! Sounds like you have great plans to keep busy and to be involved doing things you like to do. Crossing fingers the new doctors will be fine. When I retired, there were a lot of people I missed and the conversations/stimulation. I still miss that sometimes, although I found that after I was gone…
-
Lisa - I just saw that. Glad Kels and family have warning and time to head for higher ground. Sending many good thoughts for their safety! I also saw preliminary "watches" for the some parts of the west coast of the US… Barbie and Barbara - hoping you aren't impacted. Lanette
-
Beth - happy to hear the surgeon never wants to see you again! I'll bet the staff has fun with the "spicy" old ladies, lol. Thanks for the edamame info. Lisa - There's nothing wrong with spicy old ladies. I practice a lot myself. ACK that blistering hot weather. Does Corey have to work outside in this? And the lawn crews?…

MFP Weekly Check-In 7-28-25 Debbie in Napa Valley, CA - 154.2-dressed- so down a pound. Surprised as I was eating a salty snack(Filipino corn nuts) right before bed ;) 2 1/2 weeks and I will be back out walking the wetlands a couple days a week again. Ezie will be back in school. Rita in Roswell, NM - Week of WK Average…

Ginny - smart thinking moving more $$ into deferred comp. There's so much to keep on top of with this tax stuff. Lisa - Dakota sounds like a good find! Hope she was able to make some headway on the project. I'm the same way - it's hard for me to disappear when someone is here working. Maybe it's because we're used to being…

Good morning ladies! I've enjoyed reading all of the retirement stories. I listened to a speaker not long ago who said - whatever decision you make will be the right one (maybe leave out robbing banks and causing physical/ mental/ emotional harm though) but retirement might fit here. I think I wore out a few guardian…

Kim - Lisa - Rita - great suggestions! Like Terri - I raised in a family that didn't have much money and I remember a lot of childhood conversations about the rationing and restrictions during WW2 and being thrifty. After my DH passed, there were no more purchases of tobacco and other smoking material, no more…

As in Fred and Ethel Mertz. One of my favorite shows! Lanette
-
Terri - Happy 59th Anniversary! 😍 I just love reading about all of the activities you and your DH are still engaged in. Annie - so glad your sister was able to come by for a few days. It gave you a bit of respite and input for her into your caregiver duties for not only your dad, but your home as well. Pip - so has Ethel…

Sue - I neglected to mention how interesting you got some rain a couple days ago. I miss those rainbows. My area is now officially in "drought" status. Pip - that dog in the photo looks like a sweetheart - glad the girls got along with her. I think there's a benefit to getting a little smaller dog. I love larger dogs but…

I think this is applicable to my weight loss and overall health journey…😉 Lanette 😎 SW WA State

Heather - Edie is growing into a beautiful young woman. In the blink of an eye it seems. Thank you for posting the comparison photos. Can't wait to see the "now" photos of Bea and Max. Rita - good job on all those sit to stands. Better than the "thigh-master". They are like the "get up off the floor" exercises. That one…
-
Pip - how exciting about Luna. Anxious to see how the meet n greet goes. Somehow I think Yogi is working something in the background putting things together. Love your latest painting project. Tracey - I forgot to say congrats on the raise! So glad you got this job and have settled in so well. Heather - very nice photo of…

Heather - great article. Keep finding joy. Focus on gratitude. I try to find something to be curious about, even if it's the strange car that was in my neighbor's driveway, lol. Sorry about the pain and loo visits, hope it clears up quickly. Pip - Luna looks perfect. Crossing fingers for you and Kirby. When will you know?…

Barbara- glad the visit with J & S went well! And that you were able to gather around the picnic table due to the skunk. When we lived on the farm, our house dogs were skunk magnets. The vet sold a soap/spray (I can't recall which) that really took away the odor and I think I later found the same product at the feed store.…

Carol - M, also 77 (or close) told me at lunch yesterday she'd made a big boo-boo. She made an appointment at Costco, 25 miles away, to get fitted for hearing aids. The appointment was for today, but she wrote it on the wrong calendar, so they braved big city traffic last Friday and arrived only to be told to come back in…
