@SheilaBoneham Yay, Sheila! I don't know what I'd do without making time to create. It's been such a wonderful way for me to deal with stress over the years. After retiring from a 32 year career, it's amazing to me that I'm now a full time working artist. That adds some stress, but I still love creating.

@coblujay Wednesday Weigh in PW: 193.2 CW: 193.2 Life's been really busy. I'm doing my best to stay focused. I'm heading out of town next week, so won't have access to a scale. I'll check in when I get back. Expecting a bit of a bounce, but all is good.

Thanks @quiltingjaine I love bold color and the looseness that comes with whimsical paintings. Who knew my second career would be as a full time working artist? Life is great!! :)

@coblujay Wednesday weigh-in PW: 195.6 CW: 193.2 Ohhhh...almost into the 180's. It has been a good week after my maintenance break. I got invited to a non-profit fundraising event in Denver on April 30th. My goal is to wear a dress and to look fabulous. It's been a very long time since I've felt great in a dress or skirt.…

@PrimalJillian Happy Birthday!! @Nicoles0305 Hang in there Nicole. I've seen people who have hit plateaus for weeks and months on here and things finally whoosh. I'm not sure I could stay that focused if it was a long drawn out time. Patience may be a virtue, but it's one I'm not too good at. Rooting for you!!…

Winter and snow at my favorite hiking spot has stopped my weekly hikes with my sister. We always took our progress photos in beautiful spots along the trail. Yesterday, we walked on a trail in a city park area and finally, after almost four weeks, took progress pictures. I was in a heavy 2X sweatshirt and blue jeans so I…

@alteredsteve175 Sending thoughts and prayers your way, Steve. I'm so glad that we can be there for you in even a small way.

@ewilhelm2487 Oh my goodness! How terrifying. I'm so happy you and the baby are healthy. Welcome to the world Olivia Grace!

Learning about the tare button has made a big difference for me. I'm still trying to figure out the grams conversion to ounces. Asking Siri will make a huge difference. Great tips! Now I just need to add a Creami to the wish list. :)

@PrimalJillian You can do it!! @Nicoles0305 I'm glad you have a great doctor. On days without exercise, I'm at 1200 calories. I usually eat back half or two-thirds of my extra calories on days I exercise and then have one indulgence meal a week. The indulgence meal helps because I know I can have anything if I just wait…

Thanks for the reminder @jessicakrall8 For some reason, I thought today was Tuesday. @coblujay Wednesday weigh in PW: 195.2 CW: 195.6 The last ten days have been a maintenance break. I'm now back on plan and looking forward to the next push.
