LW: 132.2 TW: 131.6 I'll accept that . . although I hoped for more. Kelly, wow. . a 5 lb reduction since last time without hardly trying! Having a busy life will sometimes do that. Although, in my case I tend to stress eat. I'm so happy you're in your house, and settling into more routine life. Glad to read that Ella is…

P.S. (I was able to use the "edit" button to get back on) Kelly, we were posting at the same time. I started to log off but then saw your post. . So glad to hear about what's going on with you. The new house sounds great, and perfect for your family. A Jeep Cherokee is a fun car for a teenage boy. Our son had a used jeep…

It's hard to believe how fast July is going! I was hoping to be closer to 125 lb by now. (Looking ahead to our trip to Maui in September). Lois, making 5 lb progress on your program is fantastic! It really sounds like a solid plan. It's very interesting that the focus is on net carbs and protein and not calories. Report…

Just a quick post. I read your updates and I’ll come back tomorrow, but I wanted to say Happy Birthday to Lois 🥳 (I hope I’m correct on the date) Cheers!

LW: 132.6 TW: 132.2 Ever so slowly . . . but, at least in the right direction. Sarah, I'm very relieved to see your post, and to read you're doing better. Getting out to shop is not fun in my opinion, and I think it's quite draining. . so, well done. Let us know what your surgeon tells you tomorrow, but it sounds like…

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Lois, I'm glad you're meeting with the dietician. And, yes, please pass on the info. I know what you mean by recovering . . yesterday, we spent the day at the Rec Center outdoor pool with our little grands here. Then we came back to our house and grilled burgers and hot dogs, played…

Sarah, all day ever since I typed July 9, I've been thinking "What was on July 9th?", and it's been driving me crazy! Then, it hit me that it's Sarah's Birthday!!!! Really, it hit me BEFORE I logged on again. I'm so sorry it slipped my mind this morning. I'm going to sing Happy Birthday with my hubby right now to send…

A few from July 4th. And, BTW, Kelly I hope you had a fun Canada Day July 1st!

Sarah, I'm sorry you're having severe pain. I would think that you could take stronger pain meds for a few days, and then wean off. I'm sure you would not get addicted because you're so careful about your health. Treating the pain is important too though, because you don't want all the nerves in the area "angry". Doctors…

Sarah, I was so glad to see you had posted. . I know you're not feeling great today, but I promise, you will feel better a bit more every day. I know you'll follow all the recovery instructions, the swelling will go away, and you're going to be happy that the issue has been taken care of. I'm so sorry about your hubby. It…

Sarah, it's great to read that you're keeping up with your follow-up care. I just wanted to come on to tell you I'm thinking about you and wishing you well tomorrow. One day at a time for the next little while, knowing you've taken care of yourself for many years and you will get through this, recover, and feel better in…

Kelly, I really like your new house! 😁 Contemporary and beautiful. You will love it, I'm sure. Enjoy your time off, which you have more than earned, and recharge for the coming week. Lois, thanks for the input on activities and the movie. Keep 'em coming. Glad you're jumping into this new program. Even though it will be…

LW: 133.2 TW: 133.6 Oh my gosh, I'm heading in the wrong direction. Sarah, I'm so glad you're home safely, and that the service was nice for your sister and BIL. Wow, that was quite the shock for you and their family. We really are unable to predict anything in life. Resiliency is a key trait to so many things. I'm sending…

LW: 132.8 TW: 133.2 My heart is broken for you Sarah. . thinking about you many, many times a day. And, thank you again, Lois. Well, another increase for me. I'm just not feeling focused lately at all. And I don't have a lot as far as upbeat, but I do have an interesting story that happened to me today. I had my long hair…

Lois, thanks for the compliment, but I am getting older (we can't escape that I guess) so I can feel that my energy has declined, while my waist had increased, lol. As you said, I will keep with doing what I do (trainer) and I'm going to add more walking to see if that increases energy. I believe you mentioned you are not…

fairy festival ☺️

LW: 132.4 TW: 132.2 I'm very happy with that small reduction in light of Memorial Day weekend. We stuck around here, going to our daughter's place 40 minutes south for a Bar-B-Q on Monday. We played golf on a 9 hole Sunday, 3 par course (super easy) and . . . I did beat hubby 😜 We had fun! We also saw a movie "Mission…

LW: 131.2 TW: 132.4 Yikes! Over a pound up . . totally reflects the OR spree. My goal this week is to log food. Sarah, surgery so soon is a shock, but if you're not having diverticulitis issues it sounds like you'll have a better outcome. I'm sorry you're having to go through this, and so soon after a lumpectomy and…

LW: 130.4 TW: 131.2 I'm sure the increase is from the two margaritas (with salt and tequila 😅) and Mexican food on Monday for Cinco de Mayo. Now I have to drink a lot more water and concentrate on intake to get it off before Mother's Day. My kids here are taking us out for brunch, and then to the park with a new kite the…

Happy Friday! Sarah, it's good to read that your belly pain has eased some. . Glad the antibiotics are doing their job. What is your plan going forward? I know it's an ongoing issue for you, but I hope that surgery won't be needed. It just takes so much recovery, and so much out of a person. Good for you keeping your…

LW: 130.6 TW: 130.6 Well, I'm surprised I'm holding steady with the Easter candy around here. I couldn't post yesterday as I had the Utah grands here because my daughter's nanny was out. Wow, a 3 yo and a 1 yo all day are exhausting! But, we had a grand ol' time together :) I was so glad the weather here was nice, and that…

LW: 130.2 TW: 130.6 Well, more upward creep for me. I'll join you, Sarah, with your goals of less sugar and more veggies this week. I cannot blame you for looking up symptoms online, but I agree with Kelly that it's worth a phone call. Dr. Google isn't your personal doctor. Kelly, wow, your physical symptoms are difficult.…

LW: 129.2 TW: 129.0 Okay, I'll take that considering our outing last night to dinner and "The Life of Pi" at the theater. I recommend it . . the way they animated the animals was so good. Sarah, I'm angry too .. I can't believe how incredibly stupid this all is. Are we even going to have any health protections in this…

Kelly, congratulations on the house sale! Your emotions being all over the place brought back many memories of that for me, but I'm sure you and Shawn are doing the right thing. You talked it through, I'm sure, many times and weighed all the pros and cons, and made the decision together. I'm sure you'll continue together…

LW: 128.4 TW: 129.2 Yeah, that seems about right because I've had dessert over the few days. Sugar shows up on the scale. Sarah, the seasonal allergies are bad this year. I started earlier than normal on the Flonase spray. Hopefully you'll figure out the best solution for your nose. I like the nasal spray because the pills…

Forgot to ask if any of you follow or have NCAA bracket bets? My family likes to do them, and even the 3 yo filled one out with the help of her mommy. "Michigan Steak" . . because she likes steak 😂 Have a great weekend ladies.

Kelly, great to see your post, and congrats on the reduction. . not gaining and staying in a range is also success. I'm sending you maximum good luck wishes for selling your house! I hope life settles a bit for you soon. I tried a little sleep assistance I had heard about while we were on our trip to Europe. It's called…

LW: 128.6 TW: 128.4 I actually think the meditation is helping with reduction. The information on stress and cortisol levels is that reducing stress helps, so maybe that's it. My symptoms from the stomach bug are completely gone, and I'm feeling good. Sleeping better too. I think I'm finally "caught up" on sleep from the…

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you ladies! I'm part Irish (aren't we all, especially on St. Patty's Day ? 😁) so we celebrate. I started my day with a meditation, and my trainer, so that's done. Getting some things done around the house before we go out for an Irish supper, and green beer. Sarah, I can tell you're feeling…

Sarah, your frustration is understandable and totally relatable, and I'm glad you have us to here to "listen". It's especially hard when you're the one dealing with radiation treatments and all of the effects from that. I know you sympathize with your hubby's pain, but it can feel like the other gender is actually the…
