@Chapter_3 thank you so much for the kind words. Yes, life in 2024 was hard, but there were also blessings for which I am so thankful. Things have clicked for me again this round and I seem to be getting back in the routines (both nutrition and exercise) that I had established before Dad's death and the carnage of Helene.…

@pezhed That little fox scarf is just the cutest thing I've ever seen! How talented you are! I first tagged @musicsax thinking she had done it, but then realized we have TWO knitters in the group! It's so stinking cute, as is your little man!

@musicsax While you may not meet your yearly walking goal (which is astronomical for the rest of us to even consider!), you have done a phenomenal job logging miles this year (and last year and the year before...etc.)! I cannot even imagine walking 5-10 miles every day--always! You are such an inspiration for me.

@felicityb2026 that is a BIG win! It's so important to do this in a way that still allows for connections with friends and family even during times built around food, and you did a GREAT job managing that moment! You've got the POWER! @BigappleBritt88 I think self-sabotage is something we ALL struggle with during this…

Well, since I didn't know when else I'd have time for a workout today, I just pulled out the computer and my dumbells and did a strength training workout with Paula B. Yay! Let's do this today, folks!

My hubby and I loved Wicked so much in the theater, we booked tickets to see it in Broadway! Going to NY for the first time as an adult in January! So excited!

@capewrathultra Don't be so hard on yourself! You were doing fine up until Thanksgiving, and all of us are up a couple pounds due to that, so whatever you do, don't quit. Move on with us to the next round and give yourself time to figure out what works for you. I can tell you one thing I know for certain from personal…

@TerriRichardson112 It's so great to "see" you again! I have wondered about you and @GrandmaJackie both. Hope you are well and it's good to know that you peak in periodically. You are missed!

@reshii_devi I am so glad you have returned to the group to help you out of your pit of despair. Many of us can identify with being in the valley. I hope you find peace and encouragement and whatever else you need to be your best self, and I hope this group helps you not only do what's best for your body, but to ease your…

@deepwoodslady I just noticed you are in a new decade! Great work! Keep it going! @capewrathultra I hope your blood pressure settles down after you take your meds (that's an assumption on my part, of course, that you are on them). I will give you this motivation: when I started this weight loss journey in March, I was on 2…
