Sounds like you have a great start! Add me if you like, I am back again but this time it seems to be working better. Wife is cutting her carbs and that makes a huge difference in my diet.

Had a heavy weekend food wise, but not really bad. This is why I changed my weight date till Friday. Usually I eat well during the week and have a more adventurous weekend. After my knee scope my knee is great but the thigh was sore for a while now it is my calf is really tight. I have strained it a couple times and then…

Today was a great date, went to church with my wife and mother of my two sons. We then went to the town where both our mothers live and had a cook out. It was great and if not for the Nacho cheese and chips I would have had a great day, but oh well.

Late but, Thanks to all the Teacher from an nurse now working in IT.

I made some split pea soup with a hambone, which had a little ham left on it. It was so good! I am going to do that again, I saved some in little cup microwave bowls and it is not much calories so I can throw it in on top a sandwich or even a snack if I get hungry. My garden is coming along things are growing except for…

Bird Bird Bird is the Word...

Today was a good day, Saturday was good. Ate good, not great but don't have to be great all the time. It just has to average out. I need to drink more the last couple days. This is a new week and a new month. So lets have at it.

I would like to try, not sure how it works but I hope to get information soon.

I started at 365 many a couple years ago, I have been off and on. loosing and re-gaining the same 10 lbs. for a couple years. This time I started at 355 and have lost 12 lbs. in about 5 weeks. Honestly logging and drinking water. My wife is trying to cut carbs so that has helped a bunch for me. add me if you like.

Well I am down 12 lbs. since coming back, about 5 weeks ago. To lose 10% of my re-starting total I will need to lose 23 more lbs. That seems like a lot. It has been really going good; my wife is trying hard to cut carbs and has lost weight as well so my eating is much better. This has all been done with change of eating…

Having a good week, logging wise. My knee is getting better, actually it is great. it is my thigh that is still aching. Went to the movie last night and had popcorn which usually throws me way over but thanks to a Subway Turkey chopped salad it was all good. Garden looks to be taking except for one Red Bell Pepper which…

@kah68 wow some of thoes really look good; Shrimp Salad on Cucumber Slices, Zucchini Pizza Bites, Greek Nachos, Guacamole Deviled Eggs... ty (the wife is going to be busy this summer) @Annr Do not beat yourself up about getting out of a situation that you did not like. I think you handled it well and what other people do…

This has been a good week for me, no drama, no over indulging, no fun. LOL just kidding. I am again finding that eating a regular portion and enjoying it is ok. I like not being over stuffed after a meal. The hard part for me now is finding a good snack in between meals. My knee really has no pain now; it is my thigh that…

@ushkiiwife We need to try this some weekend. it sounds good, coule do couple chicken too. would anyone suggest how to *kitten* ckicken?

@GOINSTD12 here is another without sourcream.

@RobinsEgg I also am glad you changed your mind. YOU are the one that nurtured this group into what it is, in my opinion. A loving, nonjudgmental, sharing, faithful, extended family. You know I slipped off the wagon many times but I know this group will take me back under its wing and push me in the right direction again.…

Since it was Kindergarten Day I was thinking that quote was going to go to nose picking somehow... I had my follow appointment and they said the surgery went well Meniscus was torn on both the interior and lateral and he clean up some arthritics bone spurs in two areas. Then said something about losing weight but of course…

My knee scope went well last Tuesday, the first day was really hard to get around but it got much better. Today I have a followup appt. with the doc, the site looks good. There is a little swelling and tenderness to my thigh but it is not bad. I am hoping to go to therapy and that will be a start to me getting off my butt…

day one post op, whew. pain is much better, I can put weight on it more and more. using crutches. I set up a zero gravity chair in the living room it is great for elevation and ice. Thanks all for all the PT advice, I did start today with a couple the doc gave me and know it is the way to go and need to keep it up. Had a…

well I survived my left knee scope today. after was very painful and very painful to get in and out of the back to come home. thanks for all the welcome backs.I hope physical therapy will get me back to some activity.

So today I went out to eat at the fav pizza place, only did two pieces which is really, really good for me. I also had garlic bread slice, when I went to log that it came out 500+ cal. just for the bread. So I looked around for other examples and found most were about 100 per slice. so i choose one of them and came in…

Hey everyone new and old, I am back on the wagon, again. Stupid wagon, why is it so slippery? Anyway hello to all and hope to be reading more and maybe even writing some notes.

Thanks for your story! You have a great outlook, keep it up.

Hi all, just poking my head in again and saying Hi. Life seems so busy and I am lazy so I am not here much. I am glad you all are keeping this up, it is a great rescource.

Wow, this is moving along again and I am popping in to say hi, Hi. I went on a trip to Prescott AZ and gained 5 lbs, so now i am thinking about logging again. looked over some post and you guys seem to be doing well and moving along, thanks I know I can always come here and get a warm fuzzy.

We got skinless chick brest on sale and I took two and boiled them, cut them up and make chicken noodle soup. I will eat this for lunch the next three days. It is really good. onions, carrots, egg noodles, pepper, sage, thime, celery, yum. I like some corn but did not do it this time, sometimes I will add some rice.

Well I guess I better post so this thread does not fill up. No news here, just living life and occasionally thinking of my intake. Life gets in my way. Thanks for all being here, you guys are great.

Wow this place is still going strong and fast, but I knew it would. Love the encouragement that is given here. I have been busy and maybe slacking or unmotivated to engage. Summer has been wonderful, camping, family, parades, more camping, lots more family... just fun stuff. My garden is giving me snap peas every day and…

bump

I am still alive, just have not checked in much as of late. I have not been logging and not walking. Camping trip disrupted my fragile routine. I need to get back to walking and logging again. Had a great 4th with family and friends and fireworks parades, and food. My garden is growing slowly, no tomatoes or pepper yet. I…
