@theslightedgeforever The concert was fun! It reminded me of when my children were in school. I love pecan pie! Luckily I eat it once a year on Thanksgiving. Very high in calories. I agree with the advice you gave @cbabie.

@cbabie I hope going to see your doctor helped. Hi, all. All is well here. It’s cold outside so I rode my bike. Tonight we are going to my cousin’s house for dinner. Her daughter and grandsons are visiting from Rhode Island. We haven’t seen them in a quile so it’ll be fun. Food is always good at her house and I am going to…

@cbabie I’m sorry you are miserable. If the therapist thinks you need to step up your game, you must be progressing. Hi, all. I’m starting the thread as @trooworld is having her surgery. I’m thinking of her and hope all is well. It’s cold and damp here. I am going to call and see if the pool is open. If not I’ll do my…

@trooworld I agree that stress about your surgery may have caused the headache. You’re almost there! That was kind of your friend to give you the needlepoint of your pug. I used to do needlepoint but nothing that hard. Good job on the weight loss and sticking to the liquid diet. Hi, all. It’s cold again today. Normal…

@trooworld Sorry about the migraine. Hope you’re feeling better now. @theslightedgeforever Pecan bread sounds good! Hi, all. I went swimming today. The water felt cold but I was able to complete my laps. Tonight we went to see our granddaughter’s Christmas concert. We enjoyed watching her in the band. Dinner was late and…

@trooworld That’s a good idea to wear a mask. Too bad about the migraine. @theslightedgeforever Good job on staying within your calories and resisting the candy and only eating one cookie that you like. It looks like you are doing the activity that you can do. And weight loss is more calorie deficit than activity. Hi, all.…

@trooworld That was good that you made the turtles and didn’t taste any. @theslightedgeforever has a good point that we can be motivated for a short term goal but not long term. I look forward to you telling us about your progress after surgery. @theslightedgeforever That’s too bad about your hip pain and trouble…

@trooworld Good job on avoiding the wine and giving away the candy. Too bad you got sick from the broth. @theslightedgeforever I’m glad you are feeling better. Hi, all. I went for a walk this morning. It was cold but not freezing. It felt good to be outside. Tonight we are going to see our granddaughter perform in her rock…

@surananc Welcome to our group! I’m also a lifetime member of WW but stopped going to meetings as they are too far for me to drive to. @trooworld Getting the broth to take to your in-laws is a good idea. The protein drink should also help. The tree looks good. Hi, all. It’s cold here and I don’t plan to leave the house. DS…

@trooworld I get it that you can’t ice at work. I love roasted red pepper tomato soup. I make one with jarred red peppers. It’s too bad that you can’t take the Celebrex. Wow, one week! Hi, all. It was too cold to exercise outside so I rode my bike. I didn’t call the center as I know it’s too cold. Tonight was steak night.…

@trooworld Sorry about the knee. The weather does affect arthritis. I find that icing helps. @cbabie Cold and arthritis don’t mix! I hope you get relief soon. Yes, maintaining is better than gaining. @theslightedgeforever Sorry about the gain. Hi, all. It’s cold here again and the pool is closed. The water is heated but…

@trooworld I’m glad the diet wasn’t too bad. The party will be hard but hopefully you won’t be too miserable. Perhaps enjoy the fellowship. The broth does seem a relief from the sweet yogurt and protein drinks. Hi, all it was stormy today so I exercised indoors. Dinner was salmon, salad and wild rice.

@trooworld The menu is interesting. If you get hungry, can you have more of the same? I’ll be thinking about you and hope you’ll be okay. @theslightedgeforever It stinks getting sick! I hope you get your strength back. Hi, all. I went swimming for the first time in a while as the pool deck was finally at an acceptable…

@trooworld Pasta is always a good choice! And people watching,too. @cbabie That was good to keep the appointments. I’m glad you are careful on the bike. @theslightedgeforever Yeah, aging is the pits. I’m just grateful of what I can do. Hi, all. I had errands today but found time to ride the bike. Dinner is Skinnytaste…

@trooworld The meal looks delicious and healthy, too. The jewelry party sounded like fun. @gemwolf110 I saw on one of the WW groups I follow that WW is changing its food plan. I think there will be more 0 point foods. Actually 0 point foods are not my friends. I do miss the excitement of a new plan but I’m not willing to…

@trooworld I guess your SIL doesn’t realize that you can’t eat anything. Or she hopes you will enjoy the holiday. I get it that it will be hard for you. Your DH seems to be like most men; instead of being empathetic he feels he has to give advice. Hi, all. It’s still cold here and I did my exercise inside. My granddaughter…

@theslightedgeforever I do the same as you. I mostly track calories but try not to overdo the fats and carbs. @cbabie That’s good that you are not eating as much at night. And I know that doctor appointments can eat up a lot of time. I agree about the trampoline. I can’t do any jumping. That’s not good that you almost feel…

@exoticaleathers Welcome to our group! @trooworld Lots of stuff is going on for you so only natural that you are stressed. When do you start the liquid diet and what can you have? I will stop writing about what I am eating. Hi, all. Dinner was good last night. DS is in NYC until Monday so DH and I are on our own. I’ll do…

@trooworld I hope by the time you read this you have had a better night’s sleep. It is hard to concentrate on anything when everyone is so excited about the holidays. I remember teaching at this time of year. @theslightedgeforever It looks like you are adjusting to your aches and pains and doing what you can. Dancing is…

@trooworld I can understand that you are nervous about surgery. Easy meals are always good. Hi, all. It’s still really cold. DH and I went to Sam’s Club this morning. It was the first time DH was able to go. DS is making a pork stew tonight. It’s good that I don’t have to cook. I’m listening to the Cher memoir which is…

@gemwolf110 It was good to hear from you. I know you’re looking forward to having time off. @trooworld The cane is really handy. I use mine all the time. It’s always nice to be near water. Your Sam’s Club meal sounded good. @theslightedgeforever A 3 pound weight loss is good! You’re doing great changing habits gradually.…

@trooworld I guess everybody got their shopping done on Friday. It was good that you could do what you needed to do at the mall. The outing to Little Italy sounded like fun. That’s too bad about your knee. Hi, all. DH and I are going to the cottage so he can drain the water out of the tank so the pipes won’t freeze. I’m…

@trooworld I’m not one for shopping, especially on holiday weekends! That’s crazy waiting to get in the mall parking lot! I hope you have better luck today. That’s funny about the restaurant being vegan. But good that you enjoyed the meal. @cbabie The enchanted island sounds fun. I bet the kids will enjoy that. I’m glad…

@cbabie That’s great that your grandson did the cooking! You might want to ride the bike without tension. Tomorrow I’ll ride the bike.

@trooworld That was good that you only ate what you liked and only one plate. And your DH helped with the preparation. Hi, all. I was mindful of what I ate last night but still ate too much. Tonight we are going back for leftovers. A neighbor gave my cousin and her DH a side of beef and her DH is going to grill it. Today…

@cbabie I’m glad you are enjoying the bike. Enjoy those desserts and your family.

@trooworld Coffee is a must! Enjoy your day! Hi, all. I don’t have anything to do except make some more bread in the bread maker. I’m going to do some workouts on my bike. I’m looking forward to some family time and good food.

@trooworld That menu is awesome! The caramel-turtle pie sounds delicious! I can understand that you probably won’t post tomorrow. Hi, all. The beef stew was delicious yesterday. No leftovers except a little bit for DS to take to work. This afternoon I’m making Skinnytaste slow cooker turkey meatballs. I have to make bread…

@trooworld 5 hours to make a dessert! No way! That was a good switch to make cookie dough. @cbabie I am glad therapy is going well. And the bike, too. Hi, all. I went on another long walk. It’s going to get colder soon so I took advantage of the warm weather. I have Skinnytaste beef stew in the crockpot. I made turkey…

@trooworld The museum exhibit sounded really interesting. The chocolate tart, I bet, will be delicious. The work part doesn’t sound like fun, but sometimes we do what we have to do. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. I had to get a few things at the grocery store for tomorrow’s meal. That was the third day in a row I have been…
