Happy Holidays Everyone! :) What an awesome group of people here! I thought I'd drop in for a moment to wish everyone some good cheer and a bit of motivation! Tomorrow is a big holiday meal for a lot of us and there is a lot of agony and suffering behind all that. :'( I just want to suggest that you go to the meal with the…

An amendment to Niki's post about me - the shot I got was in my spine and it made a HUGE difference in my health. I had been walking like Quasimoto prior to that, cane necessary, for 4+ years. Now I am up-right and going short distances without that cane. BIG BIG CHANGE! MOODS are UP. :) <3 Finances are in the dumpster but…

Hi Everybody and BIg HUGS to all! <3 After my warm chat with Niki I thought I'd drop by and say hello to everyone old and new. To the newbies, when Skinny Jeans gives you an answer, it is absolutely the correct one, do not second guess her. She is an expert and I take my advice from her at this point. Also, Nina is the…

To all my weight loss friends, I love you all, and I have learned much from every one of you​; I appreciate all of you for the support you have given me and for what I have seen you give each other. That is so beautiful: to see caring support given to each other. <3 Please keep that alive. Do NOT lose that because of what…

double-posted the above response, so filling the space with answers to questions about my EMG test. To bad for me but EMG shows lots of nerves damaged in both legs up to knees and above due to old B12 deficiencies and that explains long time bruising issues, pale skin and part of some other issues. My primary doc didn't…

@Newbies!!! Welcome to all of you!! I don't make a good personal friend, I just like to see you join in the discussions on these pages. The discussions ongoing here are a great outlet as you struggle on your path to losing your weight. As I might have mentioned, its not a Victory daily, its just being Mindful daily, and…

Congrats to everyone for completing their personal challenges in March. Hope you feel pride in following thru for your 31 days. I'm PROUD OF EACH OF YOU!!!!! Remember - its not being successful for 31 days -its for finishing for 31 days - successful or not!!!

@KJeffries - gosh Kaye, what a sad, sad ending to a true love story. I am so upset for you. You seem to have pulled yourself together to have written your post to share this news of yours. Bless you. This community is always here for you. Like you said, you only had short time, but it sounds like it was wonderful....to…

Happy First Day of Spring Everyone! this is such a happy day for me - there's no turning back as far as I"m concerned Spring is here. In Nebraska, this usually mean's we'll get at least 6 -8 more weeks of frighteningly cold, windy, miserable weather! But as I head out each day clad in my ugly but warm puffy coat, its dull…

Welcome Newlings!!! its a long, interesting and bumpy road - spend the time you really want to be munching here until you get things under control! Pour out your heart and we'll listen and give you feedback! Sorry I haven't been around for so long. "LIFE" got into the way, with my step-mom back into the hospital, where…

Heres my food at Tom and Chee - my roast beef and Mozzarella melted cheese 1/ sandwich is open right now so I can add mayo. Its huge. the soup had big chunks of tomato in it. I wa stuffed when done.

Ha! You guys crack me up! @Celtikgirl and @Sora4ever, I pictured those encyclopedias immediately too, but with much fondness as I had them also. From childhood on they were my best friends. I dreamed of one day seeing all those exotic animals listed. ..but bird books being lighter - TOOOTOOFUNNY!!!! You both are doing…

@Skinny - sometines it seems like death is all around us. I wish I could somehow share your pain. You've had too much loss lately. Well, Karen, you seem to have shown a lot of strength as well. Just know when to seperate youself, and rest, rest... Congrats on doing so well on your 100K, even if you just come close, its…

@Dance_Nina - Hi and welcome. Isn't the help here terrific? Lauriek70 is an excellent teacher and is analytiical and doesn't pass on any information she has not personaly tried to make sure it works, the same for Nina. @NewbiesALLofYOU - welcome as well - as you can see we are a helpful and warm bunch of people. I hope you…

You are going to NAIL this!

I wanted to share this Quote: It seemed strangely appropriate for this space. I suffer from depression. I don't know how many of you do as well. If you live in a forest with a scary bear and a bunch of delicious berries, you need to keep that scary bear on your mind all the time. You need to hide your food and yourself,…

3 eggs/ cheers!

I see a lot of newcomes and I welcome each and every one of you! I've gotten all your names in my little black book now so you MUST come back!!! LOL!!! :smiley: I'm so glad you found us. Its hard to lose a lot of weight and its isolating too. Not too many people understand the little problems, like how our elbows stick out…

r@celtikgirl @doctor fantasy sports league - I cracked up and snorted thru my nose and LOLLED! your jokes are the best!!! Did you know that underpants are just another word for junk drawers? We need to get a consensus on the March Challenge. I'm for working on body sections over the next 3 months as proposed, so for March…

@Skinny - a long time ago I rented part of my rental house out to a nice grad student from Philly. She hated Feb. too, and just couldn't get going and called her mood the whim-whams I used to wait on her as she lolled on the sofa, trying to study from a big text book on the floor below her. She'd drink endless glasses of…

After the doc saw the MRI he decided to call me and cancel that appt. he said nope, and get thee to the neurosurgeon. So I'm seeing a friendly doc I worked with back in the day, on Mar 1. Ugh, thats a bad indication but I read a lot and having looked back on 3+ years of falls, and pain sufficient to require narcotics and…

@Grammy - welcome back - good to see you again! @lilsalildoeshair gosh I butchered your name - but I'mtrying to say hi to the new lady who's posted since my last post. I can't flip back to the last page and read your name again! but welcome!! Hello Howdy! @Kah - have you done a thorough dusting lately? You've had strange…

@Kaye - I'm happy you have a WINDOW!

THOUGHTS ON UPCOMING MONTHLY CHALLENGES] please share your input so we can decide on the monthly challenge for March. I'm thinking we should plan for the summer by preparing from the ground up. ie. in March we could concentrate on our ankles and calves. IN April the challenge could be to work on our glutes and our thighs.…

@niki-You last post of Pick your whatever day is cool! @Barb - I'm totally sympathetic to your ankle problem...if the base is broken the statue is no good. Same for us. And you feel worthless. I'm often in the same boat. Currently I'm wearing ankle braces on both feet. It does help tremendously, but they are also fatiguing…

@SaleemahR - hi and welcome! Some of us may "friend" you but this is more of a place where you should return and continue to post both those successful weight losses - congrats on that 6 lb. loss you've had btw - but you can also come here if your discouraged - then we are extra helpful! We all spend more time here than on…

Well, young lovers, @Morgori and @MrsMorgori (Tom and Amy) I just love you and your sharing of your photos and successes! Its exciting to see how you make progress!
