It's just a dress but it was my sister's dress. For years, I used to borrow her clothes when I had a need. Then I gained weight and she got sick and lost weight. After a long struggle she died last March. My heart is broken and I miss her. I have this dress hanging in my closet. Someday I'd like to wear it and wrap myself up in her sense of style.

  • @Pezhead - yeah, I did get ahead of myself - how disappointing!

  • @Skyleen75 - :D love your post! FYI - My DH is receiving a box or basket that fits in the cupboard to hide "his" snack food as a gift for Christmas. I haven't found it yet, but I think it will help both of us. He might find it annoying but he'll be supportive. And as my dear sister used to say, "If men were more fun,…

  • @Chapter_3 - You go, girl! You've got a BHAG! I watch your progress with interest because I have similar goals, height, and age, but lack your grit. If I could sign a deal to stay easily at 132 for life, forsaking any lower number, I'd think I'd do it. But, that's not the way it works, is it? We do have to fight for it,…

  • @camandjarvis - I had frozen shoulder in my early 50s - or adhesive capsulitis. It's most common in women in 40s - 50s. I couldn't even lift my arm. Treatment for me was therapy which was painful but now it's gone. It was one of the few injuries that no longer reminds me of its past. Good luck.

  • @deepwoodslady - I really like the graph visual. It does show how the ups affect the progress. I've had some stalling lately so this is helpful to keep this in mind. For me, social eating is my problem area. Something to work on. I don't expect to be perfect when I am celebrating but I could do better.

  • NYT Wirecutter says WYZE Scale X is the best choice for bathroom scale, useable both as a smart scale or a stand-alone. I'm sure it does use batteries. I'm hoping my scale will give out and I can get an upgrade. My Teledox Health syncs with my phone app but does not give a consistent weight. I have to compare it to my old…

  • @judefit1- "I treat candy like cigarettes these days- once I broke the habit, why mess it up?" You're so right! I will try my best to think of the candy I hand out tonight as a bad habit, (for me, that is, hopefully not for the children). Thanks for the tip.
