Shari, lung cancer is a scary thing and, yes, she has cancer in both lungs. One side lung surgery would take 40% and other side remove 30%. Surgeon said not a viable option and quality of life even if survived would not be good. Happy it was an option for your dad and hope he continues to be cancer free! Radiation is going…

Ladies…it was sooo nice to log in here and see you are all still committed to healthy eating and we are all continuing doing the best scan to lose some weight. You are all inspiring! DW, you sound about where I was with my prediabeties 3 yrs ago. I am on Medicare and am not sure how long part D insurance will partially…

Hello to all. It’s been quite a while and I am wishing you all well! I wanted to relate what has happened to me over the last few months. My annual checkup in June, was life changing for me. Over last few years, I had slowly become prediabetic and it was getting worse to point of serious a discussion to avoid diabetes with…

Checking in at 21 weeks on Oz. Still on 1.0 as 2.0 is unavailable. I am down 20.8 lbs.

I do intermittent fasting and have for a couple years. At first I stuck to lunch at 11:00 and dinner between 6-7:00, no food between or after. I lost weight, 10 lbs. But then… I started allowing myself snacks and treats between my eating window hours and then I stated allowing a snack about 9:00 in evening and the weight…

I think you have a good idea that could include more people from this site😎

Hello to all…Sorry, I have been so “off radar” lately and likely will be for some time going forward. A lot of personal issues again that have kept me quite busy/worried…(and some new medical) so my energy level is low. I see you are having an RA flare Paula and I can relate. Hope you are better soon. I am writing now, not…

So glad you had a good checkup Paula…congrats on the weight loss too! 5 lbs is awesome accomplishment!! That little Buster has some interesting genes….didn’t spot any Corgy but he still looks a bit like a tiny one! Whatever mix he is, he’s very cute. Seems he is smart too if he can figure how to open his kennel🐶😍 Shari….if…

Love the picture of Moe and the wintery scene he is enjoying! My sister and her SO left yesterday. Seemed a bit empty around here after 28 days! The time flew by and we look forward to seeing them next winter. Such a blessing to have had these February weeks together for so many years. We figured at least 12 yrs! Before…

Finn keeping his eye out for parents return.

Paula, Oh my gosh…Buster is such a cutie. He is not the same breed I know…put he is “watching” the same way our little grand doggies watch out the window when we have them staying with us. Our next time will be May 19 when we will be back in MN (10-12 days for a trip our daughter and hubby are taking). Shari…good luck with…

DW…thanks for the book synopsis! I hope it works well for you! I am not glad to be on my plateau but am happy not to be gaining with all the treats we are having with guests for the month! The IF seems to be regulating my gaining at least. After mys sister leaves I may switch up my food list to 17DD foods for a couple…

Paula…what a cutie!! I am so happy for you and John and Buster! What a lucky little guy to find such a loving home!🐶❤️ PS…Received a call and my results came back early and were benign. Feeling very blessed, thanks everyone for your prayers! Have a great weekend all!😍

Back from colonoscopy. One polyp removed and sent in. I had a suspicious ColoGuard test that required this colonoscopy…so still keeping my fingers crossed until results in a week. Paula…I am sooo happy for you and John getting a new doggie. I know you will both love him and he will be a very lucky little guy to be part of…

Thanks for reminder MJ….Stretching is so beneficial…I need to get back into the habit/routine of doing it! I hope you have a wonderful time at the wedding! Paula…thanks for you prayers…much appreciated. DW…wishing you continued success on 17dd. You are doing great! Shari…good to hear you son is feeling better. Hope these…

DW sorry you have Covid and hope it stays mild. My DIL had it and son slept in different room. He did not get it! Several people I know have come down with it. Not anyone I have been in contact with as we are in AZ and they in different states, etc. long time friend went for pre op checkup including Covid test. Came back…

MJ…I left out that during travel to AZ I went off IF and allowed breakfast earlier…we eat catch as catch can traveling MN to AZ and back. But was easy to get back on schedule upon arrival. I am the turtle in the weight loss race these days, a bump in the road is not derailing me.

Hello all and welcome back MJ! I have been struggling with more family and personal issues. Sorry not to be posting here but dieting (though I am still on track with my IF plan) has not been foremost in my life right now. There is nothing I can share and that weighs on me too. Some days have been real downers. Please bear…

Paula…wishing you well as you remember lost loved ones! Sending a hug. Sorry it’s so cold where you are Shari! Hope it moderates soon! DW…Thanks for your good wishes in the coming year. Let’s hope it’s the year Covid ends.🙏🏻 We are enjoying 50 degree weather…and it’s nice not to see snow. MN is having a -15 below cold…

Hello to all! I had started this and somehow “lost” it, lol. We are back in AZ and I am happy to not be surrounded by snow and to have working internet. An extremely busy and stressful 3 weeks in MN. I was quite off IF schedule (some days) but tried my best to keep on track whenever possible. I ate too many sweet treats…

I don’t remember if I mentioned we have no internet at our house since we came back to MN?? So I have not be on here as often until we are back home in AZ. Our next door neighbor has allowed us to sign into his internet account while we are home. Long distance, through walls of two homes….it is spotty at best and only…

Paula so sorry Craig is ill and it might be Covid. I hope he gets tested so he knows, people he may have exposed know, and also for a timeline for quarantine if he does have it. You should be OK because he likely did not have Covid when you saw him but they say you can’t be out of woods for two weeks past possible…

Paula…congrats on the weight loss! 5 lbs is awesome! Looks like IF with WW is a switch your body likes! Glad you are seeing such good results. Shari…sounds like winter in Canada too…brrr. Hate to deal with ice…I am worried about falling! Be careful! DW….you sound very organized for Christmas…I am definitely not! Feel lucky…

Hello to all and again thank you for your thoughts and prayers! We have temporary hot water for the weekend. Will not detail it but is a bit of an issue that will need to be permanently fixed but not before next week. Electrician did a work around yesterday afternoon to get power to water heater. Shower felt good today!!!…

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. It’s cold and more snow predicted. Dreary day which matched my mood and my feeling of mourning. I am sad especially for his grieving kids and sad for all he missed in their lives due to his addictions. I hope and pray he now is at peace. We came home to no hot water. Electricity…

Good morning everyone! We arrived in MN late yesterday. Snow on the ground and,of course, it’s cold! MN in December so normal. The afternoon before we flew out we learned of a death in the family. He was our daughter’s ex-husband, Jack, and father to our 3 grandchildren. He died in Florida. Our grandson (living in AZ)…

Hi everyone! So glad your plumbing issues are resolved Paula! Yes, not having a working bathroom can cause issues for certain! Makes me even more appreciative of all my years now having “flush toilets”, lol….we had none of those when I was growing up on the farm. 👍 DW….I surely can identify with late night eating! I had NO…

😱 Good luck with the water/sewer backup issue Paula. I can only imagine how awful it must be for you to deal with….I hope it gets repaired soon!🙏🏻

Shari…good luck with the temporary stress weight gain!🤞. I know you have said you eat less with stress (whereas I eat everything in site and crave sweets)….but even eating less, I believe when we are truly stressed our body hangs onto its weight with a cortisol connection. Your awareness and actually taking steps to deal…

Paula…I am sooo excited for you about finding a potential new dog! I hope one of the options turns out to be the special new member of your family! Good luck! Nice too that you found a good attorney. Our long time attorney retired a few years ago and his young partner was “ok” but not the same…then the young partner moved…
