:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Doing a little Happy Dance for you :wink: GREAT job!

Moving in the wrong direction again at 158. Still fighting. I will NOT give up.

I tried the double sock buns on Friday night.... Still no luck, though it THOUGHT about working this time. I had a mini curl at the ends, but as son as the full weight of my hair hit it, it was back to wall impersonations :grumble: I WILL get this! After the fail, ended up in a regular "I've got house work to do" double…

I'm still working hard, but the adjustment of having my husband back home is COMPLETELY throwing me off. I have to get him back on the "No, the Burger king is NOT good for you" wagon. Until then, it's back to an up hill battle. On the positive side, my ladies only weights class is TOTALLY kicking butt and taking names…

Thanks to 10 years of speech therapy, I can pick up just about any accent in under 10 minutes and retain it until I run into a different accent. I also have the worlds easiest time picking up "foreign" languages. But, I have managed to retain my original accent (DEEP south/ backwoods Louisiana) when I get very tired or…

Starting at 157.0 Now that life is settling back down I can maybe kick some fanny this round. :drinker:

I'm working on getting a garden started. I've only got seeds for now, but since we're moving shortly (in September) I see no point in trying to start them now only to be forced to leave them behind. Hopefully our new place will have enough of an area that I can grow some of my own vegetables! :drinker: For now I have seeds…

Glad it helped both of us! :laugh: I measured right. Sad. Just....Sad. Still glad the Dr didn't see those numbers though. Whew!

Ugh! If I measured that right (I had to look at pictures) it comes out being 2.25 inches. Still a small frame, but thank GOODNESS he didn't see THAT low side number. I'd go CRAZY! It's got it set at 126-139. :sad:

I'd like to check him. Can I ask where you found that? And do you just measure the bones? Or the whole way across?

Yes. I know. I've only set my goal on such a low number because that is what my Dr. Recommended when I very first started out. I'm thinking on going to another and seeing what THEY might have to say. I made those this weekend (I think I even had one for lunch today). They were a HUGE hit! I think I may have found my new…

:laugh: They wanted pizza this weekend. I came up with a mini pizza on the english mffins I had in the back of the fridge. PERFECT use for them since they were a little on the "stale" side and they wouldn't eat them toasted. I didn't have any sauce though. Ended up just putting on some oregano flakes I found in the back of…

That might be safer.... Can't see him doing a tantrum for a stranger...

Apparently I have a "Small frame"?? I only set my goal based on where the Dr. said I should aim for because of my wrist size? It's 5.25" if that helps. Maybe the Dr. is a quack and I'm beating my brains in for nothing??

My husband is about to lose his soda supply. Just don't tell him until after I do :laugh:

Sorry. MY math wasn't adding up. Yes. You are correct.

Not sure, but we get one every year and have yet to catch more than a fistful of seaweed.

Sadly, I qualify for nothing in the way of food stamps or any other assistance from the state. My husband brings home $40 to much to get anything. I tried. Sat all day in their office while they were handing "money" over like it was going out of style to people that were bragging on bringing in almost double what we do (I…

Thank you!! :flowerforyou: And I play lots of pick up and put down games with the smallest (he's 45lbs). Not sure if they'd really "count" as exercise since I usually do them every day for a good 30-45 minutes :laugh:

I'm really trying to. Where I'm at now (eating as close to my goal calories as budget allows) is a HUGE improvement all by itself. I used to only eat one meal a day and it wasn't ever very much. I want to thank you for your suggestions. I'll work on trying to find more greens for less greenbacks :laugh:

My main aspiration is to have a small home in the middle of nowhere so I can watch my animal neighbors and avoid other humans :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Well, other humans other than my husband and children :wink:

YAY ME!!!!! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: My favorite part of my morning routine is sitting on the porch with my coffee and watching the local birds, squirrels and cats get their breakfasts. Even try to keep the grass a little on the "long" side so it's better for those early morning bug treats :wink:

I think I get what you're saying here. I don't think they're here to serve us either. I think they're here to be companions and learn from. Though sometimes they're tasty with BBQ sauce that doesn't exactly make us "superior". Am I close?:huh:

No no. 42lbs in 370 days. I've got 21 left to go.

I LOVE strength training. I lack a regular spotter at the moment, but that's about to get fixed this week. Also, starting up a Women ONLY weight lifting class tomorrow. I tried to do it a couple months ago, but my little guy got us booted from the gym so I only caught 4 days of an 8 week class. I'm beginning to wonder....…

Possibly? Maybe. Probably. I will have to figure out how to get more food. Though, I must admit. For a while, my biggest achievement was "breakfast". :laugh:

Seriously thinking on this idea. I've NEVER heard of someone actively trying to lose and stalling for 5 weeks, then losing a pound the next week only to stall for another 5 weeks!

Eating way too few calories is what got me here trying to track my stuff in the first place. I will try and do more, but sometimes, honestly, there just isn't any more food to HAVE.

You wouldn't happen to know how to walk me through that would you? Changing the Macro's I mean? When I started the journey, the Dr. recommended a 40/30/30, but I'm not sure how to set that on here? There was a sale on the turkey. That's the only thing it had going for it. It was either that or the 80/20 hamburger :ohwell:

I can't even begin to afford fish. Where I'm at, one good sized piece (enough to feed 5 people) costs 3 times as much as any other meat. Even a can of Tuna costs as much as a gallon of gas. Dairy... Well, I'm out of everything except for milk for the baby, so I guess I can cut that for a few weeks and see what it does.…
