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…

LW: 129.2 TW: 128.8 I don't know why there is a double spacing between lines . . something weird with MFP? Anyway, I'm still reducing, which is good, but I don't feel like I'm eating less, just being more careful about what I eat mostly because of my stomach. Not a lot of sugar, bread, or pasta. So, that's probably good.…

Kelly, I have to correct the name of the Premier . . . it was Charlie Angus. I think I was combining the names of two premiers :D Lois, wow, sounds like you got a lot done over the weekend. I'm glad you'll be meeting with your doctor on Wednesday. Let us know how it goes.

Kelly, sensitive eyes are a problems for me also. I wondered if you use the Refresh Plus single use eyedrops? My doctor recommended them for me. They come in a good size box at Costco and are preservative free. They have a little more than single use in each vial, and I found out the little twist off caps can be put back…

LW: 129.6 TW: 129.2 Well, I'm kind of surprised with a reduction, and it might be a fluke, because feeding company usually results in weight gain. But, I've noticed I don't have as much of an appetite. I didn't even eat one of the cookies I baked. I also kept my trainer and golf lesson while the kids were here, so I had…

Sarah, I'm elated for you that treatments are finished! I'm so sorry you have those painful blisters left to deal with, but when they heal, you can close this chapter and move on. Let us know what the doctor says on Thursday. Don't hesitate to rest if you feel you need to rest. And, it's very sweet of you to thank your…

LW: 130.0 TW: 129.6 I continue to reduce at a very slow rate. I'll take it, although I think it's still a bit of not wanting to eat certain things, and having less of an appetite. I had my trainer Monday, walked on Tuesday, had a golf lesson and practice today, and will have my trainer again tomorrow. I still get tired in…

Sarah, I share your fear about public health. I found out that the American Medical Association started a YouTube channel to try to keep the public informed since there now is no communication allowed from government agencies, including the CDC. WTH? Anyway, I subscribed to it. And, are you starting that final week of your…

LW: 130.4 TW: 130.0 Sorry to be posting late . . . I'm feeling almost 100% this week. Good thing because my son, DIL and 3 grands are coming Monday for their winter break. They'll be skiing most days, but we're also having a birthday party for the 7 year old :) And, of course the cooking . . I'm mostly just tired these…

I started my post, then had to go to my golf lesson and practice, and then came home and finished my post. In the meantime, everyone posted! :D Glad to read all the goals and updates. Kelly, your goals are awesome! Good luck with selling your house, but don't let that throw you off your health goals, lol. Lois, sorry about…

Sarah, I'm so glad you're getting your treatments in Bethesda. They sound very professional, and most important, thorough. And the daily hassle of the drive is annoying, but I'm glad you have the time and ability to do it. <3 Side effects being minimal is great, and I think you're almost half way through the treatments. I…

Sarah, I'm celebrating with you the first week behind you! Cheers to that! I hope you find a way to reward yourself each and every day and week as you get this done. <3 And I love how you just keep on keeping on with walking and taking care of yourself. My gosh, your hubby's work involves Federal transportation safety?…
