Getting medication refills aligned with this mail order pharmacy that insurance requires stresses me out. I feel for you.

I really appreciate all of these comments! Amfm, would you tell what model do you have now? I have made quite the investment on my health lately (worth it) but maybe I will just get one between 3 & 6. Are they all mostly the same with features?

Thanks, yirara, I did see some comments here about it not linking right but wasn’t sure if that was a certain model. I really appreciate the battery information. If I ever do get one, I will go for a new phone instead of a used so I at least start with the best possible battery.

I did receive more friend requests but no one has replied here. I hope those who sent requests will say hi on this thread. Hi Ger :) It’s kind of embarrassing to have guys around but I appreciate your communication so much I might have to add you! :) Miss Spring, I read about your Little Debbie’s on another thread and your…

Thank you for being lovely and wonderful, Springlering62.

I’m at 257 now and still looking for some ladies going through similar challenges. Please reply if you would like to connect for support. :)

Oh heck. I had a brownie a couple times last week on the days when I ate oatmeal for breakfast. Lol. I also sometimes have 2-4 Hershey’s Kisses a couple times a week depending on how many calories I have left over. I’ve been here almost a month, maybe 3 weeks and I was over twice. I just do my best to not do that. But even…

Hi :) I was a single mother for my daughter’s entire childhood. I understand the feeling of wanting my child to have the best (like she deserves) and I have felt “too tired” for all of the things I wanted to do. It probably hurts me more than it hurt her growing up. I gave her more than most two parent households in this…

Star, Maggie, and Roz, High wind in Illinois today. Weather watch says arctic winds coming through. Nice to be home and warm. Had a protein bar at lunch so have been snacking tonight. No pure sugar or anything like that… oatmeal raisin cookies (had 2 with cup of milk since I had lots of calories left for tonight) and…

Nice! Tell me how that service works out for you. And if it is worth the cost to you. I am so jealous about the tulips!!! I saw some in pots at Walmart last night (had to get some jeggings I saw for a great price online) and I told my man that I would like one of those instead of cut flowers this year. I love daffodils so…

Hi girls, I forgot to bookmark and lost this thread. It is supposed to be 47 this afternoon in western Illinois. Snow on the ground and some sun this morning. I have been doing my diary every day and figuring out what meals come to around 300 and which push 600. I guess on days when we are having spaghetti and garlic bread…

I see your request, Cathy! Thank you for communicating :)

Excellent information Ann and Wolf. Thank you!!

Absolutely. “Baby steps.” Two steps fwd one step back. “If you can’t fly, then run, can’t run then walk, can’t walk then crawl… but whatever you do keep moving forward” (MLK) Great thread and great comments.

I am also an emotional eater. I believe that finding better options for when you “fall off the wagon” can help. For instance, hormones or emotions could cause me to eat a cupcake and a cup of hot chocolate. Just last night in my MFP feed an article appeared about how to make a different kind of hot chocolate from scratch…

I thought working out builds your muscles and muscles weigh more than fat so you gain at first if you work out a lot… but then lose faster if you stick to your proper calorie intake because more muscles mean more calories burned?

@springlering62 What a lovely comment. Thank you so much for the support and the inspiration! I think the weighing correctly/accurately will take a bit but I am getting better each day.

@tracy042 Great! I will add you :) It might take a bit. I don’t remember how I added michele. Lol

Hi girls:) I liked the title of the thread so starting reading. I think we got some of Colorado’s leftovers here in IL. Nice yesterday (40s) and today single digits and an inch of snow. I tried a vegetarian diet a couple decades ago but it seemed like I needed a degree majoring in the chemistry of creating the proper food…

Vitamin K2 I’ve been researching it because it helps the body use Vitamin D. Did a quick search right now and found this quote from WebMD: “ Vitamin K may not get as much attention as some other vitamins. But it plays an important role in blood clotting. If you don't get enough vitamin K, you could get more bruises. Still,…

@michelemorrill1 Thank you so much for your reply. I remember reading a post of yours and I think we are on similar paths. Still figuring out message board but I will attemp to Add you. Lol

I researched some stretches for the area of my pain and then purchased $70 athletic shoes geared towards runners which are also orthopedic. I can walk more than across the house without pain now. Started treadmill at lowest setting and no incline for ten minutes and then a few more minutes each day. It is helping!…
