We are so active that my little scrambled brain is not keeping up! SO - in order to get to know us, I suggest an exercise. Complete the following statement and add a photo if can: Every time I get quiet to record my diet progress, _______ ______. Love to all, Lea

@daneejela - Welcome. It sounds like you have made some awesome positive changes! And, I love it when people want to support this topic. I want to support it too! When I am positive with others, I am positive with myself. funny how that works, eh? @WillLift4Tats - Pampering yourself while hubby is away sounds sooo good!…

@ktfranke - I love what you said. You can say that to me everyday, and it would be okay! @rdevol - hello! @mary_clinton6 - isn't it great!. I love every one here.

Oh my! To get in my extra steps, I followed my mother all over WalMart! For the second day in a row. It's now 8:00 p.m. I can barely walk. She's almost 90, and I cannot keep up. @nickiphillips1 - that's quite a life story. Wow. Congratulations on being the overcomer that you are now! And welcome to this place. Okay.…

Ahhhh. Time to get back to nutritious food and exercise! Today, for my diet vacation, I had a chocolate bar and a plate of French fries. Yum. My beautiful behavior for tomorrow will be to get back on my program and eat within my calorie range. Have a nice visit planned with my mom. For feeding the senses I plan to sit in a…

well KITTEN!!! I had this fabulous post written and it went away, POOF! Hi to everyone. I'll try again tomorrow when the glass of wine wears off. Less than a half cup. I'm a lightweight. Love to all. Lea

There you are @jessiquoi !!!! We..... Um no, I needed my reminder to take baby steps. :) I need to RANT. Other online communities are not so nice. Ouch. 1. I am NOT embarrassed about my body. 2. I am obese. 3. I can talk about weight in public. 4. I am dieting to get healthy. 5. I will NOT give up coffee. 6. I will NOT…

Hmmmm

I have begun the meal prepping!! 5 cups of pulled chicken and bone broth in the Crock-Pot.

Why am I so chatty today????!! https://youtu.be/RTaGX1y0xj8 I think these folks may be my relatives. My reasons for thinking that: 1. How many skinny ones do you see? Nope. 2. LOUD. You should hear our Thanksgiving dinner.... Who's going shopping tomorrow? Me. Me. Where's my tablet? Mom! Who said me? Mom! Ou! Was that a…

@happysherri - I am glad I read your entire post. You always put the best stuff at the end.

This is day 3 for me and @fruitydelicious . We are eating for strength and peace regardless of calorie content. Yesterday, I baked a whole chicken and today I will remove the bone for making bone broth, and then I will make wild rice in the broth and finally put rice and chicken into individual servings containers.

As of today, I am about to practice six days of abrupt change. I will log my food with no care of calorie value. While weight loss is still a big issue, I have no more inner strength for it. Eating for strength and peace will be my goal starting today. Love to all. Find joy in your journey. Lea

@CT0526 - I'm so sorry. Warm thoughts and prayer going out to you. Today, I tried to rest up from yesterday. Whew! I planted a peach tree, and a bunch of sweet clover. I dug a trench across my waterlogged back yard to try to direct storm water away from my plants. I want them watered,not washed away! Tomorrow, I will find…

Ugh. I'm going to crawl off to bed. My mother and I ran errands today and she ran circles around me. I am beat.

Yesterday, I took a day off from taking care of myself. Not that I planned it. I just wore out. I took my mother and my son to dinner. It was my son's birthday. We sat at a table where we watched buzzard hawks soaring over about ten miles of rocky deep valley. We looked down over the waterfalls. We walked the boardwalk.…

Wow. My emotional health has been a rollercoaster ride for several days. One of the things that keeps me on goal is to come here and confess what I did. Really. Do I want to let the public know that I stopped 15 footsteps short of my steps goal? I put the bad attitude aside and walk to my garden and back. There. 53 steps.…

beautiful behaviors for tomorrow: 1. Go outside barefoot and dig toes into grass, uh weeds. It's day six, right? Did we all make it? Love to all, Lea

We must be in day 6 of our water challenge. I'm sick of water and about to rebel with all coffee and tea. Bwahaha water! Body! Wait. That's my body I'm rebelling against. Shucks.

@CT0526 - yep! Good for us! It is having a mild positive impact on my ability to stay within calories. @trailgirl777 - Good for you! Get back to tracking and logging and drinking water. What day are you on? @Butts_Boys_and_Burgers_ohmy - First, I'm having trouble typing your screen name with a straight face! I love it.…

Everybody is doing so well! I'm impressed with us! Tonight, I am sleepy again.... Have a great evening. Love to all. Lea

<3 I'm a sleepy head. Goodnight all

Good colors in the scarf Jess. It might just be the photo, but it looks like pastel blue with pastel pink "eyelashes"? Congrats on getting back into your personal best! Yoga AND tracking AND 8 cups water! 8 cups of water down! whew. Give us a report Sherry!

Hi, @BradleysMommy22 ! Welcome. Yay, Jess! I love infinity scarves. I can't figure out how they are done, but I love the way they drape. Kim - the way you grieve is the right way for you to grieve. Your body, mind, and spirit directs you in the right way. Hang in there. @zzmdfh - Welcome! We're a diverse group. You are…

I squish when I walk, BUT, I drank 8 cups of water today!!! Woo! Happy St Patrick's Day to all. :)

Woo! Yeah Jess!

Awesome! Anyone else?

Jess! I would come over and hug you! I know, no help here! Kim - so sorry for your loss. Please be kind to you while you grieve. Don't let the number on the scale define who you are. I'm working on it, but sometimes it sneaks in! congrats on the pound Alisalgal!!!! You know that's really two pounds. The pound you didn't…

I think this is day 6 of our 6-day challenge. It had better be! It is close, and Google Fit hasn't given me my calories burned for hitting my thumb with the hammer. Whew! @happysherri - Good job staying out of the pizza! Office jobs are like that. Food is reward. but you know? Healthy food can be rewarding too! @mir1104 -…

@trailgirl777 - what day are we on? I'm getting Shakey determination! But I still have calories left for supper, not many, but some!
