@trooworld I hope you don’t go the weight loss surgery route as it can be very hard for your body. And if that is something you are considering then I would encourage you to give IF a serious try and maybe even incorporate some protein sparing modified fasting. This is where you will pick one or two days a week and eat 500…

@laurelfit57 Well, Joe lasted less than 24 hours with the monitor. He called me this morning at work to tell me that he took it off and refuses to wear it. I have to support him because he is going through enough right now and he had all kinds of tests in the hospital and his heart is fine. So I’m praying this decision…

@RetiredAndLovingIt The yellow pollen is just starting now. I covered up our patio furniture with plastic tarps but it’s still going to get everywhere and on everything. Wow that is a lot of cookies to sell! Good for your Gd for getting it done. Sounds like you are having a good time with the kids. Just don’t wake up a…

@laurelfit57 the bread doesn’t have much taste and its consistency is slightly like eating a piece of styrofoam. That could be because I over-mixed the egg white powder into the whipped egg whites. I’ve got a recipe for a bagel-style bread that adds in unflavored gelatin for a chewier texture that lots of people are…

@Katmary71 The app didn’t really help me much unless I want to pay $35 a year for all the features. I’m utilizing Google task in my calendar and back to those good ole yellow sticky notes. :grin: @trooworld That must have been some good painting to keep you up so late! :grin: A foot massage sounds nice. When I was 17, I…

@laurelfit57 yeah, I do try to lift with my legs. I think most of my back issues have come from helping Joe get out of chairs. Yesterday, I didn’t have to help him once and this morning I feel much better. :) Is a giant meatball the same as a meatloaf? I’m making meatloaf today, which will be good but it’s the cold…

@FushiaKat I love fresh strawberries too! Thanks for the prayers! <3 @laurelfit57 We are on season one of Love it Blind. It’s a fun show. Joe isn’t into it as much as I am but he tolerates it so I make him watch. And don’t worry about spoilers, I’ve already Googled which couples are still together from season one. :D…

@trooworld Sorry about the work drama but good for you for sticking up for yourself. I totally forgot it was St. Patrick's Day yesterday until I sat down at 9 pm and flipped on the news and saw everyone wearing green. :grin: @cbabie You do have so much to live for and accomplish! Try to focus on that more than what isn't…

@Cornanda You have a lot on your plate right now with your kids, parents, looking for a job, sick doggy, trying to get fit and healthy, and only you know what else. I just want you to know that you are in my prayers and I’m rooting for your complete success in all areas of your life. <3 @trooworld Woot on your loss this…

@FushiaKat How wonderful of your hubby to gift you with money for a new wardrobe. That should be very motivating for you and a great incentive to stick to your plan. Maybe I need to have a talk with my hubby. ;) @Cornanda thanks for your prayers! <3 I need to get back to the challenge too. I have been all over the place…

@cbabie Sounds like you are doing well at making smart choices and taking care of yourself. :) @theslightedgeforever you have done really well with carb cycling so going back to what you know works is a good idea. ;) @trooworld How exciting that another one of your art pieces is being exhibited! Have fun at the opening! :)…

Hey Team! I'm just doing a quick check-in to let you know that I'm still hanging in there. Joe is slowly healing from his broken shoulder. He also badly hurt his knee which makes it hard for him to get around. The mornings are especially difficult. Tomorrow we go for round two of chemo and I'm really praying that his body…

Well, Joe just can’t get enough of the hospital stays! He passed out Thursday morning and fractured his left humerus bone. He will be in a sling for two weeks and then PT after that. The attending doctor feels that the cause of Joe's fainting spells is something called Orthostatic Hypotension. Which means that his blood…

@Katmary71 I am so sorry that your nephew is still struggling! I pray that he can overcome his issues and start loving his young life. Thanks for the advice on container gardening. I like the idea of growing some herbs. :) @Cornada Amazon lost my quilt so I canceled the order. I was super annoyed but then I found a much…

@trooworld Haha that Grumpy Cat meme is hilarious! You know I didn’t make anything Keto for my B-day! :D Love that field of flowers! <3 @FushiaKat NOW tha is a birthday cake my retail loving heart could really dig into! :grin: Hi Team! Thanks, everyone for the birthday wishes. :) I had a very good birthday yesterday. My…

@trooworld Congrats on your weight loss!! B) It is quiet here and I surely haven't done my part at all lately in keeping the conversations going. Good morning! Today is my birthday! Funny story is that I had been thinking that I was turning 57 and my mom told me a couple of days ago that I was turning 56. I was like, "Are…

@kkay2345 Welcome to the team! Wow, you have a busy life with five kids and becoming a student again. We are happy you are and that we can support you in reaching your goals. @Cornanda Ohhh your poor daughter! I’m sure she is a mess and needs her mom. I’m sorry about your mom and will be praying for her and you. You are…

Let's have a wonderful month Team!! B) <3

Yayyy to our team for getting third place!! And a big shoutout to @Mom24_2021, @FushiaKat, @laurelfit57, and @gwamajtw91 You all rock! B) @trooworld good for you for getting you and the family to go for a walk. That did you all good. And that fruit salad looks very tasty. I LOVE coconut! <3 @Cornanda Good job on staying on…

@laurelfit57 I love Sundays too and yours sounds very lovely! Today is cold and rainy and I’m hoping spring returns soon! :) Hi Team! Today was a good day. Church was wonderful, which is always a good way to start a new week. Hubby and I went on the hunt for a new quilt for our bed. I had bought one at Bed, Bath, and…

@trooworld That is probably a good idea to stop scheduling meals on Fridays. It doesn’t work for you so why put pressure on yourself. When it gets to Fridays you can make a decision on what to get and if it’s something off-plan then you just need to make up for it during the week. Fitting in exercise can definitely be a…

Hello Team Mission Slimpossibles!! Welcome to all our new members - and welcome back returning members!! I am so glad you are all here! :) I am Teresa one of your Mission Slimpossibles captains along with Mark (@broncobuddee) The Mission Slimpossibles also have two wonderful motivators, @trooworld and @Katmary71, who help…

@laurelfit57 thank you for your sweet words. <3 I don’t know how I do it either other than I’m a master list maker so that things don’t fall through the cracks. Good job on making a good choice at the restaurant and a Thai chicken wrap sounds super yummy! Balancing eating with having good hard workouts is a great action…

@laurelfit57 Good for you for trying to stay within your calorie limits with all the eating events you have going on. Sometimes it happens when we have a lot of events and doing our best is the best course of action. :) @annflaherty1 How wonderful to read that you and your sister are survivors. We are definitely clinging…

@FushiaKat Doctors annoy the heck out of me! Do you know that most doctors do eight years of medical school and then more schooling for their specialties and they usually only have one semester of nutrition? They are super quick at throwing drugs at us but never ask us about our diet. And as for exercise, there is nothing…

@trooworld losing is always better than gaining so yayy!! I’m sure the winery didn’t help your weight loss, but you had a good time. Some people sleep in their workout clothes. I do make sure to put mine on first thing in the morning on days when I will work out. ;) Hello everyone! The new sectional is nice and it’s big.…
