trooworld: Heard you - HURRAH FOR YOU!! Hope it works as well for you as it has for me. The last two weeks of bday parties, eating out and less exercise and I was still down 2 lbs. Its wonderful. If I can help, please don't hesitate to ask. cbabie: I am so sorry to hear about your job but on the bright side - good riddance…

cbabie: beaver tails are donuts in the shape of a beaver tail. Nowhere near an actual beaver tail! lol Have a good one everyone. I expect to. This is my actual 65th birthday today. Been celebrating for so long now I'm going to be sad to see it end this evening. Been fun though. Cheers, Carol

theslightedgeforever: Where in America do you live? Our poor Canada gets such a bad rap about always being COLD. Many parts of our country are cold in the WINTER but not all year. Here in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia (about 65 miles East of Vancouver BC) for instance, we get 30C plus temps for most of our summer,…

Happy 4th of July to my American friends and neighbours. Enjoy your Special Day! Cheers, Carol

Good Morning Was an absolutely PERFECT CANADA DAY yesterday - well except for the rain in Ottawa where the biggest celebration took place! Beautiful day here in British Columbia and we enjoyed every minute of it. All in all, we did our Country proud - HAPPY 150 TH CANADA!! So happy to have lucked out and been born a…

Good Morning Well this is going to be a tough week for me. My DH and DDs threw a surprise bday party for me on Saturday. I was told there would be something special on July 8th but that was a set-up and it was actually this past Saturday. Wonderful celebration with about 50 friends and family in our backyard. Fortunately I…

the slightedgeforever: Yes 30C is good!! About 90-92F so we will be happy campers around here.

theslightedgeforever: And then SATURDAY will be the first day of a much better week for you!! Run with that!! :) Summer has arrived (officially and finally) here in BC's beautiful Fraser Valley. 30 degrees (that's C of course) predicted for the next 10 - 14 days. HURRAY!! Out golfing yesterday. Great day!! Little gardening…

Thanks for the advice ladies. I do plan to talk to Shauna about it except that I know she will say she is ok with it even if she is not. She wouldn't want to "hurt" my feelings. Perhaps we are all too sensitive? gemwolf110: Good idea except that would mean a full-out workout (that's what it would be with both) 6 days a…

WHERE IS EVERYONE????

theslightedgeforever: The class is a bootcamp of sorts focusing on strength and conditioning with some cardio. We did weights and rowing yesterday. Was a very good workout. Pretty sore today but its a "good" kind of sore. The next class is Monday. Planning to attend. I have a bit of a conflict however. I thought it was…

Good Morning Everyone Well we are back to rain here again. YUK!! I still need to do some gardening so I guess I will be doing it either in the rain or wait for a break and then get out there. The later would be my preference!! Feels like October here rather than June. Been nasty since November. Ok enough complaining -…

Good Morning Everyone Had a really nice weekend. Lovely dinner at our DD's Friday night celebrating our granddaughter's 4th birthday and my father-in-law's 92nd. Was a great 88th birthday gift for him the day little Genevieve was born. It is especially nice to be able to celebrate with him this year as he is struggling…

Thanks cbabie. I felt about the same as the day I stopped (at least for the moment) a young man I knew from the highschool where I worked, from buying beer. I was at the checkout at our local liquor store when I say him come in the front door. I saw and recognized him and he saw and recognized me. I thought that might be…

Hi Ladies So this is not weight-loss related in the least but I thought I'd run this by you and see what you'd do. Here's the scenario. Look outside this morning around 9 and noticed the two 12 year old twin boys and their buddy, dressed in their pajamas and slippers, climbing out the bathroom window, on to the roof of…

theslightedgeforever: Our garden. We grow carrots, beets, gr. beans, peas, cucs, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and herbs as well as lots of flowering shrubs and annuals. We have a quarter acre yard all, if I do say so myself, meticulously landscaped. Lots of work but we love it. Its our favourite place to be and we are able…

Hi Everyone Haven't been here for a few days. Very busy in my garden with this absolutely beautiful weather. Supposed to change back to rainy as of tomorrow so one more day in the yard today plus I'll have my little granddaughters this afternoon so a recipe for a good day ahead. This has been a challenging week. We were…

Another good weigh-in. SW: 174.25 CW: 161.50 GW (July 5th): 149.75. Probably won't get there but I should be pretty close and at least lower than I have been in many years so I'm ok with that. Wish more folks would check in here and let us know how they are doing.

Just a thought ladies but maybe you'd like to try a low-carb diet. It is working wonders for me. I've lost about 11 lbs in the last 5 1/2 weeks and since I started this I have not had any stomach problems (IBS/acid reflux). I think (and so does my Dr.) I just may be gluten intolerant and have been for many, many years. Oh…

Good Morning Another beautiful day here in B.C.'s Fraser Valley. When its sunny here there really is no better place to be. Lots of gardening planned for this morning and then spending the afternoon with my favourite little people; Granddaughters 4,5 & 6 years old. Always exhausted by the time I take them home but its a…

Good Morning Was a wonderful long weekend (Victoria Day in Canada) here. Beautiful weather finally so lots of outside time. Lots and lots of gardening/yard work Saturday and Sunday and then yesterday we took our kayaks to the lake to try them out for the first time. WONDERFUL!! Very excited for the next time. Over to our…

Where is everyone?? I thought the idea was to post our results every week. Oh well. Had another very good weigh-in yesterday. SW: 174.25 CW: 163 GW(July 5th): 149.75

Good Morning Another great weigh-in yesterday. Down 1 3/4. Very happy with that and the fact that this is very, very, consistent. Losing on average 1 1/2 per week for the last several weeks. Now if I can keep this going for another 9/10 weeks or so, I'll be at goal. Very excited and hopeful. Beautiful weather here this…

theslightedge: Where do you live? Boy if we didn't walk here this year because of the rain, we sure wouldn't be outside much. :) Another good weigh-in. Down 1 1/4. Doesn't seem like much but week-in-week-out it does seem to add up. That's also with very little exercise too but now that the fundraising Walk is over, I can…

Good Morning All Well a great nsv yesterday. Did the annual Alzheimer's Walk (5k) in Vancouver. I've been doing this walk for the past 15 years and have raised just under $50,000 for the Alzheimer Society of BC. Yesterday's total was $5,030. Very proud of that if I don't say so myself. Sure hope it helps find that cure. A…

trooworld: "hubby won't let me buy anything out"????? You do know this is 2017 right? Those kind of comments really scare me. You're all grown up. You get to make your own choices!!

Good Day All Been a good week. Down another 1.25 this week after 3.25 last. This low carb, no "whites" seems to be working well for me. I feel much better too. Sugar, bread and potatoes are real triggers for me so much better without them. Ladies re: commuting. I can relate but from a "wife's" side. My DH commuted for 20…

Weigh-in day. SW 174.25 CW l67.75 GW149.75 (July 5th - my 65th bday)
