@Katmary71 Ohhh that puppy is adorable and what a great idea to get one now so that your nephew can maybe stop focusing so much on himself but on his new sweet doggy. Don’t worry they really do quit peeing in the house…eventually! :grin: @amioc Yes, I weigh every day and the fluctuations can be crazy sometimes. It was…

@bgame Look at all those green checkmarks! Spring is coming! :grin: @FushiaKat That butterfly is gorgeous! What do you do with your creations? You need an Etsy store if you don’t have one. :) @Katmary71 Great job on saying no to Diet Pepsi! Maybe getting it out of your sight for the rest of this challenge would help keep…

@bgame4 Yay I’m so glad that you are in the Spring Challenge. I really feel that it will help us focus more on our goals if we do this together and stay consistent with posting how we are doing. @laurelfit57 It sounds like you have a good plan for both birthdays. Enjoy yourself in moderation and then get right back on…

@trooworld You have a wonderful day planned and I hope it all turned out great for you! Good job on working out and not napping. :grin: @theslightedgeforever I did do my workout and it felt great. I only did about half my capacity since it’s been almost two weeks and I’m just getting over my cold. Yes, I throw parties too…

@vegan4lyfe2012 Yes diet sodas do trick the brain into thinking it’s had real sugar. There have been studies done that just putting something sweet in your mouth will trigger a glucose response because the body thinks that sugar is coming in. This is why when I do intermittent fasting, I can’t have any artificial…

@vegan4lyfe2012 Yay for joining in on the Spring Challenge! Taking a 30-day break from soda is a great idea. The reason it makes you want snacks is that sugar only wants more sugar, so I bet you will see a decrease in eating off plan by taking the soda out of your day. Good morning! I forgot to post my Day One yesterday so…

@theslightedgeforever I agree that me gaining a bunch of weight isn’t going to help me or DH so I’m taking steps to get myself back under control. I don’t have much of a comfort plan right now other than working to get all our ducks in a row. I’ve been obsessed with getting the finances turned over to me in a way that I…

@Katmary71 How old is your nephew who is having panic attacks? Is he getting help from a doctor or therapist? My daughter, who passed away four years ago, started her long downward spiral with panic attacks that started when she was 17. NOT saying that kind of life is in the cards for your sweet nephew! I just worry…

@trooworld Sorry about the gain this week, but you just need keep moving in the direction you know works for you. I’m in the same boat, by the way! :/ @laurelfit57 Glad that you were able to enjoy a few days of good weather before another deep freeze hits. :) @vegan4lyfe2012 How wonderful that your depression is improving…

@theslightedgeforever Happy belated birthday!! :) @cbabie Maybe I’m having allergies and not a cold. It is almost spring, and the daffodils are blooming!! :) @trooworld I am sure that it's hard to see your BIL in that kind of condition so understandable that you turned to comfort food. That has been my struggle for months…

Good morning, Team! Thank you all for the prayers and understanding that I haven’t been able to be around as much as usual. Things here are OK right now. Joe is doing so much better since coming home from the hospital and we are watching his water intake closely, so we don’t end up back in the hospital. I did end up with a…

Hello! I'm popping on to let you know that I've been missing because I had to take DH to the hospital on Tuesday. He was having really bad confusion again so they told me to take him to the ER. They did a ton of tests and ruled out a stroke. His sodium was low again and he could have had a mini TIAA. We got home a little…

Hi Team! I'm just popping on to let you know that I've been missing because I had to take my Joe to the hospital on Tuesday. He was having really bad confusion. They did a ton of tests and ruled out a stroke but not a mini TIAA and his sodium were low again, which is due to lung cancer. We got home a little while ago and I…

@cbabie Yes, my mom did win the chili cook-off and by a landslide! :grin: The picture is posted below. ;) @theslightedegforever The chili cook-off was a lot of fun. I’ll post about it below. Ohhh how much fun was it to demolish your fireplace with a sledgehammer? I could totally get into that kind of destruction right now!…

@askewcr @Jactop @leonadixon Wahooo on being our top three this week!! B) @trooworld how sweet to take rescue dogs for a walk! Odin is a cutie! Those Leslie Sansone videos can be challenging. Good for you for trying to make exercise a habit. :) @FushiaKat I’m glad that your brain fog is better and that playing your game…

@19shmoo69 HaHa I used to love doing my Sweatin’to the Oldies! :D @trooworld Joe’s dizziness is wayyyy better. He just has it a little first thing in the morning but he is totally not a morning person and takes a good while to feel good. Has the cold left your area? We are sitting at 29 degrees with a high of 42 today.…

Good morning! I'm jumping on because I realized I haven't in a few days and today will be busy. We are having our 3rd annual Chili Cook-Off at the church tonight and as you know these events fall to me to plan and execute. We should have at least 75 people there and 12 chili contestants. Including mom's chili. I hope she…

@nfll406 Thanks so much for your prayers for my dear husband. DDF stands for Data Driven Fasting and it basically means that I test my blood sugar using a glucometer before I eat to make sure that my blood sugar is at or below my given trigger number. Our bodies won’t lose fat until we lower our glucose and testing my…

Hey ladies! I know that I haven't posted in a while so please forgive this quick post. I did read all your posts! :) DH and I went to see his new oncologist this morning. We like him and he doesn't mince words at all. DH needs chemo to make sure that he will have a longer survival rate. So on Feb. 17th, he will have his…

@Katmary71 That is awesome that you bought a ticket to that concert and plan to go. I hope you find the perfect outfit and have the best time ever! Your poor nephew is really struggling. You are such a good aunt and I will pray for him to follow your great advice. I miss Austin and her wonderful wisdom very much!! I’m…

@Cornanda Your poor dog! I hope the vet can give you answers that won’t be so scary. Do you track your calories? I find it much easier to stop eating while cooking if I’m being really diligent a tracking. I need my pad of paper and digital scale staring me down when I pop that piece of cheese in my mouth that wouldn’t…

@19shmoo69 I’m so sorry for the loss of your family members. Prayers for you all! <3 @askewcr What a great day you had with your “sweet potatoes!” Yes, let’s get those goals together and have a great month! :) @Katmary71 I hope you have a good doctor’s appointment! I used to be horrible at planks but I’ve gotten better but…

@gemwolf110 I am so sorry that your mom was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes! That is a tough one and I hope her doctors are able to help with the right dosage of insulin that she will need. Try to encourage her to eat a lot of protein and veggies for good nutrients. Wow, that is a lot of snow!! It sure is pretty but I don’t…

@trooworld That is great that you didn’t give in to the pasta and still your hubby got to have what he wanted. I do that a lot here at home. I will often give DH bread, pasta, or other foods that I simply don’t eat. Mom doesn’t like mashed cauliflower so I bought those single-serve mashed potatoes. There is always a way…
