Still with my mom in the hospital. Today was a better day, and she seems to have turned a corner. Hopefully each day will be a little better. She is supposed to be discharged from the hospital Wednesday, so a few more days for me. I was able to go home today for several hours because my brother was able to come sit with…

Hi team. My mom is still in the hospital, so I'm still reading all of the messages when I can, but don't feel up to responding. Unfortunately, she is miserable, so I don't leave her alone here. I have been sleeping in the reclining chair in her room. The transition to new medicine is not going to work out, so she is…

It's 12:30AM, middle of the night, and I'm sitting in a chair in my mom's hospital room. She'll be going home Monday or Tuesday. I'm exhausted. It's been rough. She's a trooper, and she's doing as well as she can considering her disease. Wanted to say that I was able to read every message, and no time to respond now.…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 6/26 6584 My Fitbit died halfway through the day, so it was more, but that'll teach me to remember to charge it at night!

@TheresaM787 Wow! Look at those steps/miles! You are now getting right up there with Megan:) That ice cream sundae sounds amazing with the banana and peanut butter. Love Halo Top!

@MSWarrior7088 Axe throwing sounds like so much fun! I've see those places, but we don't have one around here. @lindamtuck2018 I ate at that restaurant when we visited Frankenmuth back in 2010! We also went to that giant year-round Christmas store. Boy, that brings back memories! @red1185 I so feel your pain! I'm up and…

My weight has fluctuated so much this week. It is crazy. On Father's Day, we had the whole family over to my house. My daughter is a fabulous baker, and she made desserts. There was some left over, and I ate too much cheesecake Sunday evening. Then the darned leftover Strawberry Trifle was sitting in the fridge for a…

@TheresaM787 Those KK are like that. I think you've come up with the perfect plan though! We can't be perfect, but we don't want to make the same mistakes (don't really want to call it a mistake) again and again. So, this was a learning experience. Now you know what to do! @Poobah1972 You are really killing it! I love that…

@lindamtuck2018 Hope you had a happy birthday!

Congrats to all who lost this past week! Team Downsizers is awesome!

Just popping in for a quick note. I've read all of the posts, but no time to respond right now. Will get on later to do that if I can:) My kids and I have volunteered at our local food bank for many years. Now that my kids are away at college, it will just be me helping out there. I haven't been there since last year due…

iradi8 Wednesday PW: 192.6 CW: 193.7 LTD: 58.9 pounds (SW 252.6) I kind of expected that because I was up a little the last two days. I suspect the strength training since others seem to have seen that in the past. Hopefully it'll be back down next week!

I had such a busy day yesterday and today. I was in the car a good bit and out of the house most of the day. I was within my calorie goal yesterday and brought my water and some snacks with me. This morning I left home at 7:30 AM to bring my daughter's car to get her tire replaced. I had to go to the grocery after that and…

@TheresaM787 When it is very hot outside, I will sometimes walk the dogs after dark. Rather than a flashlight, I use a headlamp. They don't cost much, and they are very light. I don't usually like things on my head, but the headlamp that I wear at night is wonderful! Love that meme with the dog! That is hilarious!…

Now that is a great NSV!!! That is awesome!

? of the week: The one thing that I think helps most is tracking everything that goes into my mouth. It is so, so easy to not realize how many calories one is taking in if not written down. That little bit of cream in my coffee, barbecue sauce on my chicken, ketchup, sour cream, a few bites of mashed potatoes, a few chips,…

@363days I wear a Fitbit and it reminds me to move if I've been sitting too long. I like that because even though I am very active throughout the day, there are some days where I sit more. So, I need reminders. My dogs are the same way. Sniff every mailbox and then leave their mark:) What short step videos do you like?…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I'd say with that distance to just round up. LOL. Still amazes me that you can walk that long and that far. That scale had better start to show your hard work soon. @rlaskey2 Sounds like a great day! Good steps! @888Angie888 Wow! Now that is some hard work! @lindamtuck2018 Yay on the pizza! You had…

@Tazaria87 Now that is a plan! You completely set yourself up for success. @Poobah1972 Great job on the legs!

@Poobah1972 Hahaha. You're funny:) By the way, I don't eat the peas that I use for my knees. Now I'm rhyming. @azkunk Yay! You did good:) I love the pay it forward thing. I, too, wonder how they feel about it. Now we get to find out! @Tazaria87 You stay so busy! That is a lot of work doing those cookies. Will it be hard…

@TheresaM787 Thanks for the tip about Halo Top. I have only bought it once, and I really liked it! I was able to only have a little bit and felt satisfied. I wasn't crazy about the texture, so I will try it like you said. Also, now you know that you are capable of choosing only one when it comes to certain goodies:) I love…
