@Saragirl2 Thanks for the suggestion on weight training. Part of my goal this month is to incorporate some weight training into my routine. I am hoping this will help strengthen my joints. I really struggle with runaway inflammation, so will see how it goes. Have a great day!

Awesome will power with the cake! Don't worry about losing as much as you think you should. As long as you are moving in the right direction, you are making progress and you should be proud of yourself!

I missed getting on here yesterday. I have a really bad attitude. Feeling like the only thing going right in my life is my weight loss. At least I can be OCD about it and forget about the rest of my troubles for awhile. Friday's goals: 1. Keep calories under 1300 / carbs under 20 g. :smile: 2. Drink 8+ glasses of water.…

Looks like you had a great hike! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

@HGSmith0920 Can you send me the recipe for your Tuscan Chicken? Hope your husband is doing better!

@junodog1 Congratulations on the coming grandbaby! I am also having my first grandbaby in September. I am so excited I can hardly stand it!

Meet step goal. :smile: 5. Clean the refrigerator! :neutral: Only partially complete. At least I got rid of the science…

You will be surprised how many steps you can fit into your day, but you have to build up to it. I used to only get about 3,000 steps per day. Pretty, pathetic, right? What I do is increase my steps by 1000 after I have been able to meet my previous step goal for at least 7 days. I will be increasing tomorrow. My new goal…

Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with diet soda. It is just the popular item right now for people to decry. I am not a huge soda drinker, but when I do it has to be Diet Mountain Dew. If you are really trying to get away from diet soda and want to get in the caffeine, you can try taking Excedrin. It has…

Awesome job! Keep up the great work!

Glad to see you here! Don't worry about having a lot of goals, sometimes it's better to focus on a couple of goals. I tend to go a bit overboard myself. :wink: Thanks for the compliment on the blanket, I was really pleased with the result. :smiley: My grandson will be royally spoiled before he even arrives, lol!

Hi Joan, Don't cut yourself short. Ripping out carpet is hard work! It sounds to me like you were getting plenty of exercise! Not to mention having to move all the items in your room so that you could get to the carpet. :wink: I know what you mean about being too tired to deal with cooking. I have really been trying to do…

Sunday's goals: 1. Keep calories under 1300. :smile: 2. Keep carbs under 20 g. :smile: Barely, but I made it. Note to self, do NOT let hubby portion my food! :wink: 3. Drink lots of water! :smiley: 4. Meet step goal. :smiley: :star: Got in over 12K steps yesterday. That walk was definitely worth it! 5. Finish baby blanket.…

Well, my day has been quite productive. We took a lovely walk over to the next town this morning, so I have killed my step goal today. :smiley: I also finished my baby blanket! @Bex953172 included photo for you

Hi Joan, Sorry to take so long to respond to your message. Now, I am really mad at myself for not getting on here yesterday! I really agree with the feedback you received from @OConnell5483 and @cschmitz110515. In this situation, I think you should let your son and DIL know that the sleeping arrangements are really…

@asclepsia Thanks for the encouragement! The diet and exercise are definitely helping me get control of my blood sugar. It wasn't that long ago that I was having some really scary high numbers, so I am very happy to see my numbers come down to a more reasonable level. :wink: You also reminded me that I need to go through…

I can't believe I missed getting on here yesterday! I have to go back through the messages and catch up on all the activity. I did meet most of my goals for Friday and Saturday. Sunday's goals: 1. Keep calories under 1300. 2. Keep carbs under 20 g. 3. Drink lots of water! 4. Meet step goal. 5. Finish baby blanket. I am…

Do one other kind of exercise to mix it up. :frowning: Too many appointments. Grrr. Didn't fit this one in. 6. Work on baby blanket. :smile: 7. Create…

This is wonderful news! I am so glad everything is okay. That anxiety of the unknown is awful!

I couldn't agree with you more! This thread is really helping me to stay focused and motivated! Thanks so much everyone for all of the great posts. This is my favorite part of my day! Welcome aboard to those new to the group! Hope you all have a wonderful day!

@Saragirl2 Welcome to the group! Where can I find the webinar you mentioned? It sounds like it's worth listening to.

I should try to add in more Vitamin D. It should have occurred to me already... Thanks! You're so sweet!

Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Wishing you the best!
