Good morning! It's with a heavy heart that I've decided to leave this lovely group. I'm hoping it's temporary and that I will be back! My husband's dementia has so many increasing demands on my time now that he has three different therapists a week, along with his other doctor appointments. Work at the church is very busy…

Good morning! It’s another quick check-in. It’s been a busy week and today I’ve promised Joe that I will help him with his Medicare and supplemental insurance for next year. I know nothing since he has always taken care of this and now it’s way over his head. I’m sure I will figure it out. I’m hoping for a small loss…

@Cornanda Girl, I wish there was some chocolate cake in my house!! :p I’m also in the "why bother camp" too but that isn’t a very good attitude. So, let’s just be in the “I’ll do the best I can,” I leave it at that. :) @trooworld Awe thank you for the sweet graphic! I don’t know if it counts that it I’m actually returning…

@shaunarlr83 Huge ((((((hugs)))))) to you!! I know what an incredible step you took in leaving your husband but you did the right thing and now you just have to keep moving forward and create a life that you deserve. It will be hard but it can also be so worth it! I was raised by an alcoholic father who was great when he…

@trooworld Maybe you won’t catch your hubby’s sickness. Just don’t kiss him! :grin: Your weight gain was nothing compared to the fun you had. It will come off this week. <3 @shaunarlr83 I have done MBF when it first became available. It’s definitely a challenge but fun. Although some of those cast members do get on my…

@trooworld I hope you had a great time with your friend! Sorry, your hubby is getting sick and I sure hope you don’t catch it! Thanks for setting up the challenge. :) @Katmary71 What a sweet gift your cousin gave you in sending that video of your grandpa. Sometimes you just have to accept the pain for a good cry. <3 Ugghhh…

@shaunarlr83 What a great picture! You have done such an amazing job at building on your goals each month. You are rocking it!! :B @vegan4lyfe2012 What cute cards! I love going to our local brewery for dinner. Great atmosphere and food and so many yummy beers to choose from. And it’s only one minute from my house so I…

Hi Slimpossibles! I’m Teresa and I’ve been here for a long time. :grin: I live in Athens, GA with my wonderful husband and little dog, Maggie Mae. My mom and sister also live with us, so we have a houseful, but it all works really well. I have a wonderful job as the church administrator for my church. I feel like I’ve been…

@vegan4lyfe2012 I am sorry that your daughter is giving you so much grief. Is she now living with her husband and not with you? I hope that is the case so that you can find some peace. Maybe once the baby comes she will grow up and learn to be more appreciative of all you do for her and will continue to do even when she…

@Katmary71 Joe and I met on a forum for writers. He was an actual writer and I was a wannabe. We were both going through divorces and our bond was instant. We communicated online for ten months and then on my 40th birthday, having never met face to face he picked me up and moved me to Georgia. The rest is history! :grin:…

@Katmary71 I love that you and Bill are being so creative with your long-distance dating! Joe and I met online and it is important to do fun things that will keep that spark going. How often are you able to see him in the flesh? :) @trooworld I think we need to see a pic of Daisy in her costume! :) Good morning! I’m back…

@Cornanda I am praying for your parents and especially that your mom will adjust to her new home and thrive. It’s hard being the caregiver so do all you can to support your dad even if it’s just listening to him when he needs to vent and voice his concerns. I know how hard it was to say goodbye to your precious pooch, but…

@Katmary71 Ohh my what a terrible ordeal you had but it sounds like you had a very good ER doctor. I am lifting you up in prayer for that miraculous recovery! <3 @shaunarlr83 Good for you for snapping out of your depressed mood and getting in two workouts and buying some healthy snacks. That’s the way to turn things around…

Good morning Team! Just a quick check-in to let you know I'm still around. I'm reading your posts but have no time to reply right now. Hubby has doctor appointments every day this week and right now I'm on my way to work before taking him to another appointment. We saw our primary yesterday and while there I asked her for…

There is just a ton of stuff going on and I'm trying to figure out how to balance it all. I'm trying to also focus on eating better and…

@vegan4lyfe2012 What an awesome way to announce that you are going to be a girl Nana!! That is so exciting! <3 @19shmoo69 Congratulations grandpa on your new grandson! :) @Tamevv I love the idea of 5-minute breaks and am going to remember that for days when I feel like there is no time for me. :) @Katmary71 Thank you! <3 I…

@Cornanda I’m glad that your daughter is with you and not in Tampa. My sister’s kids and grandkids are in Orlando and we are all worried and praying hard for them to be safe. They have their house on the market with the plan for my sister’s daughter and three grandkids to move here. We NEED that house to NOT get damaged!…

@trooworld Congrats on losing 3.8 lbs. this week! think to lose any amount of work takes effort, concentration, and good thinking. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again... if we want to lose weight we have to treat weight loss like a job. I think we all get complacent and just phone it in, but that will not get us the…

@broncobuddee I think I forgot to post my weight last week! Sorry if that is the case. :/ 9/16 Username:TeresaW1020 Weigh in week: Week 2 Weigh in day: Friday PW: 196.0 CW: 195.6 9/23 Username:TeresaW1020 Weigh in week: Week 3 Weigh in day: Friday PW: 195.6 CW: 195.8

@katmary71 Those drums are cool and so soothing! :) @trooworld I think I did OK on the fall challenge but definitely need to do a whole lot better! Tomorrow starts a 100-day countdown to New Year's Day. I’m thinking of printing out something to try to keep me mindful to behave most days and just because we are going into…

Good morning! I know it's been a while since I've posted and I just wanted to come and say that I probably won't be posting for the forseeable future. My recreational computer time has greatly diminished. I hate when long time posters just up and disappear so I wanted to let you all know. I will still be seeing some of you…

Hi everyone! This is a quick check-in because if I don't do it now it won't get done. I have already had a busy day with grocery shopping and housework. This evening I have a meeting with the church event committee and then a staff meeting. Plus, I want to go in early to get my office work done for the week. I did OK at…

@Jactop And I’ve never heard of eating them on a sandwich and now need to try that! :) We have a Costco opening here in November! I will have to try that Carbonaut bread. I’ve tried others and haven’t liked the texture at all. You are right that you can’t fix insulin resistance overnight, so just hang in there and keep…

@shaunarlr83 I hope your mom has a quick recovery. You are a good daughter and shame on your siblings for not helping you and her! I am sure that it’s frustrating and hurtful. Great job on your goal to have a perfect month. So do we now share the same BB coach? :grin: @vegan4lyfe2012 Thanks for those hugs, girlfriend! <3…
