@TheresaM787 Great job on choosing to have only one donut and then following through with that! Not easy at all:) @Bluetail6 So horrible that your contractor died. I'm so sorry. That is great that you will use a walk to help with the stress.

@lindamtuck2018 I think the biggest change is that I hardly ever have heartburn. I used to eat antacids almost every day. I had them in my purse, my car, next to the sofa, etc. I rarely need them now. Another change is that I am not constantly tugging on my shirts and my clothing when I am out of the house. I used to fool…

@Tazaria87 Those sit/stand desks are heavy and awesome. We got each of our kids one last year when schools went online so that they would not be sitting all day. That must have been hard to see your son in pain from a migraine. I know the feeling. My daughter gets them. It's so hard as a parent when our kids don't feel…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Eight miles? Wow!!! That is amazing. Walking with our daughters is so special. Mine will be off to college in August, so I will be sad to have to walk alone. @rwood566 You always make me laugh:) I love the cognac and donut day. What a great combination! Hope you hear from your doctor soon. You are…

iradi8 Wednesday (Saturday this week) PW: 195.3 CW: 195.3 LTD: 57.3 pounds (SW 252.6) Was hoping the scale would be down a little with all of my beach walks, but I know that I have fluid today. Since I was out of town, I am cool with staying the same:)

@Beautyofdreams A glow in the dark trail sounds awesome! I am glad to hear that the skin grafts are painless. Nevertheless, I can't imagine how hard it must be with the waiting to be healed. Once you are able to walk and swim, you're going to do great again. @Megan_smartiepants1970 That's awful that you still have swelling…

@rwood566 You are really inspiring! I love your spirit. You really did great on the recumbent bike. 7.25 miles? That is really fantastic:) Bikes are so hard on the rump. @lindamtuck2018 So happy for you! You are really doing so well! Five pounds after your diet break is wonderful! Look at all of that green! I am glad the…

I sent you a message, but I am thinking that maybe it didn't go through. I won't be home until Friday night, so I don't have a scale this week for my weigh-in. I will weigh-in on Saturday morning…

@TheresaM787 Yay! I'm so glad to know that my sharing helped someone, namely you! Thanks for letting me know:) By the way, I don't live here at the beach. I only get to visit:) If I did live here, I would be out there every day walking!

@rwood566 That is a very long walk. That is wonderful that you were able to cut some time off. Very well done! @tazaria87 You'll get back to your routine. I have had the same problem for the last six weeks since my surgery. It's so easy to get off track and so hard to get back on. @mszoueb We need times like those where we…

I am so pleased with my day yesterday. I feel more in control of my choices. I really do not like the times when I feel out of control with my food. Instead of starting the day off with doing work around the condo like we always do, we decided to take an hour long walk on the beach this morning instead. What usually…

Today my daughter and I were in the car traveling for about 3.5 hours. We stopped at Buc-ee's (for those of you who know what that is) and both ordered a chicken fajita taco in a soft tortilla. It had grilled chicken, bell pepper, onion, guacamole, pico de gallo, a little sour cream and a little cheese for 380 calories.…

@lindamtuck2018 Oh, Linda. I'm so sorry that you fell and am glad that you were able to get up with nothing broken. I'll bet you're going to be sore tomorrow. I hope that doesn't last long. I love your spirit! And look at all of those green checks! That's great! Hope Garry is doing well after his extractions. @TheresaM787…

Yesterday we had a family crawfish boil and get together. It was the first time our family has gotten together like this in over a year. My first cousin was there with his child, who will be two y.o. in July, and since he lives across the country from all of us, it was the first time the baby was around us. It was a…

Yay! Team Downsizers is in the number 2 spot this week! Congrats to all who lost this week and to @rwood566 @roz0810 @Aqualang26 @888Angie888 especially!

@lindamtuck2018 Sorry that you were in pain last night. You had so many steps! Glad your anxiety is improving. Anxiety is so tough to deal with. That's great that sticking to your menu has helped with night time eating. I have heard that Covid can affect memory. I love that you volunteered to be studied for that. @rwood566…

@888Angie888 Sounds like you are doing well now. Nice loss. I am interested in seeing that graph. @rwood566 That's great that you did so much walking at the zoo and even the hill! @Bluetail6 53 pounds gone! You are doing so well:) @mszoueb I can definitely relate to your post. I am down almost sixty pounds, but I don't see…

@rwood566 Thanks. She is having some pretty bad back pain and down into her leg from her sciatic nerve. She has other health issues as well. I'm hoping she'll feel better soon. @TheresaM787 Thanks. She's still having bad pain, so yes, it's tough. No rest yet, but soon I hope. Today I was there helping her from 9:30AM till…

I have been going back and forth in my head trying to decide whether to be excused for this week's weigh-in or to go ahead and put my weigh-in on record. My mom lives alone, and I take care of a lot of her needs. She hasn't been very well for the last two weeks, so it's been rough. Last Saturday I had to take her to the…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Migraines are awful:( Hope it goes away soon. @azkunk Still a great number of steps. Some days we just have to do what we can:) @TheresaM787 Awesome steps! You are doing so well!

@littleflutterby Over 14,000 is a lot of stepThat's a lot of steps! Great idea bringing salads to work. I love what you do with the espresso, ice and PP caramel! @rlaskey2 This morning, I had to plug my Fitbit into my car so it wouldn't die. I hate it when that happens! A boxing workout sounds awesome! @Bluetail6 You are…

Thanks to all who commented about my mom. She will be in the hospital for a few days, I think. I'll be going there early in the morning and spending the day. @Poobah1972 Your gym is looking great! I love that elliptical. Very nice. @lindamtuck2018 I agree with your dietician. I don't think I could do this without my food…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 5/15 11,215

Sorry that I haven't been too active replying to posts. It has been a rough, stressful and busy week. Today from early morning until this evening, I was with my mom at the hospital. She had to be admitted today. It's hard to see her sick, but I know she is getting good care and will be better. I just want to numb the…
