  • I have dealt with a couple of eye issues. In my late 40’s I had swollen eyelids with dry, peeling, itchy skin. I was told to throw away all my makeup, and put a pure oil on my lids, stop wearing makeup for a while. It took a while, but it did clear up doing that. More recently I’ve had eye allergies (itchy and discharge).…
  • LW: 134.4 TW: 134.2 Oh my gosh. I can only lose .2 per week I guess. That's the pattern no matter what I do it seems. Oh well, it's better than going up, which happens much faster of course, lol. Good to see everyone posting, but I'm sorry about the health issues we're all having. I feel pretty good, although I'm noticing…
  • I hope you’re having a nice Sunday! I’ve finally gotten caught up on neglected tasks around here, and I got a 1 hour workout today. Lois, I know attenuated means weakened or diminished :| but not sure what that might mean for your knee, other than maybe you can strengthen it. So, I think you’re right to plan to walk more,…
  • LW: 134.6 TW: 134.4 Well, that's about the speed I go, so I'll take it. (yesterday's weight) Sorry to be posting a day late again. Wednesdays are hard unless I get it done early. And, I have my trainer soon, so I'll have to be brief. Sarah, your averages are still great, imo. Keeping your steps over 10K is amazing. And,…
  • Last time: 134.6 Today: 134.6 I'm so happy to see that I actually maintained. I'm back from seeing all the kiddos and grands in Cali and Oregon, and it was great. We took a few little souvenirs from Europe, and some housewarming gifts for the new (rebuilt) house in Cali. Our large suitcase was so heavy (a couple of wine…
  • Budapest was our first port.
  • LW: 134.8 TW: 134.4 Sorry to have not logged on yesterday, but the day got away from me and last night when I was able to get on my laptop, it wasn't charged. I've been really busy, and last night we had family zoom, the last one until we get back. Everyone has lots of plans, kids camps, swimming, rowing, on and on. (My…
  • Sarah, my gosh I'm sorry the mammogram didn't resolve what the lump means, but the lymph nodes being clear is great news. I'm feeling pretty positive about the lump being benign. I know that probably doesn't mean much, and I'm sure you're feeling pretty nervous. Like you say, keep moving forward, and distract yourself…
  • Sarah, I DID see the news about the tornados, and I was thinking of you! I was thinking "oh please don't hit Sarah's house . . she's already had enough with the home repairs!" LOL. There was also a report that a woman and a child were hurt (one might have been killed) while in their bed on the second floor. The news said…
  • LW: 135.4 TW: 135 Yay. But, probably mostly water loss. I'll take it. I've been logging food, and ladies, that's what works for me on intake. Lois, my gosh, I'm so sorry about your leg. I'm really glad you got it checked before you kept walking on it. Take care of it. I have to take a baby aspirin every day because of a…
  • I thought I might share a photo of my 5 month old granddaughter, touching my face and trying to talk to me. 💗
  • Sarah, I'm sorry to read about the lump in your breast. I'm sure it will be okay, but it's really scary to have happen again. My Oregon daughter has had lumps appear and disappear for several years, and she now automatically schedules the more diagnostic imaging every year in order to not waste time going back for a second…
  • Just logged on to read posts, but I have to quickly say congratulations to Lois on your morning walk! And, hurray for finding a serviceman for the treadmill Sarah! I hope he can fix it! I had a hard workout day yesterday, and I'm getting a slow start today as a result. But, it's a nice day, and hubby wants to go play some…
  • I read through all the posts I had missed. . Kelly, it's good to see your post. I'm glad you saw your allergist, and I think it's true that fluctuating hormones can affect allergic reactions. I developed more asthmatic reactions to things after I had a cystic ovary removed years ago. The drop in estrogen really did a…
  • LW: 135.0 TW: 134.8 Finally, a tiny reduction. I am still reading your posts, but I've got to go eat the dinner I made, and then Family Zoom after, so I'll come back tomorrow after my trainer. Sarah, I just quickly checked through my Apple Fitness app, and it looks like my burn is 1,498 on no exercise days, and 1,917 on a…
  • LW: 135.0 TW: 135.0 Hmm, no change. I'm struggling to figure it out. I cannot move more. Although my Apple Watch challenged me to get 3 miles walking or running 14 times this month to win a badge. Good motivation, but wish me luck. Especially since we'll be in Oregon from May 17th - 25th. It's hilly there, so maybe I can…
  • LW: 135.2 TW: 135.0 Well, that's a bit of a reduction. I really wish I was able to reduce faster, but I guess slow and steady (STEADY being the key word) is best. Kelly, enjoy your trip to Calgary and your daughter's tournament. Sounds like fun. I've been to Calgary and through Calgary a few times. You're only about 13…
  • LW: 135.2 TW: 135.2 No progress, but I'm honestly surprised there wasn't a weight increase. I'm sorry it's taken me until Sat to post! Lordy, what a busy week I've had. Our Oregon daughter was in town last Thurs to Sun, and we hit the ground running with her 14 year old wanting to shop, go out for manicure, hot tub, etc.…
  • LW: 135.6 TW: 135.2 Oh good. Well, like I said, I'm going to do it slow. So, I'll take that. Sarah, I think if I had numbers more like yours with steps and calorie burn, I would do better. Congrats on always getting the 10K and so many floors! The last week was a blur . . workouts, golf, golf lesson, NCAA ball games,…
  • Sarah, I had to giggle at your cute "senior moment" in writing here . . . hubby and I are constantly asking each other "oh, what's his name . . it starts with a D", or "what's the word that means your brain is getting old?" LOL. I really get that you want to keep the treadmill that never quits! I also have one that's been…
  • LW: 136 TW: 135.6 Slow, slow, slow. But, at least in the right direction. Sarah, my goodness, you and hubby (and kitties) are really in it! I'm glad it's finally underway, and soon you'll have it all fixed. I'll bet that you'll enjoy the re-landscaping, purging possessions, etc. It's a pain, but very exciting and fun in a…
  • LW: 136.2 TW: 136.0 Very little progress on the scale. I've been logging and being in deficit, but it just goes soooo slowly. Sorry to be MIA till today. My cousin that I was close to died and I've been the point person for my siblings in sending flowers, etc. He and I were close in age and played together as children, but…
  • LW: 136.6 TW: 136.2 Slow reduction, of course. It always goes on fast and comes off slow! I tried to post on Wednesday, but found I couldn't log in. Then yesterday got away from me with a busy day, my trainer, etc. So, I'm here, and feeling fine. Hubby was negative as of last Saturday morning. I tested twice during his…
  • Some photos.
  • Hi ladies :) I'm back, and we had a very fun trip. Kelly, welcome back. :) Were you on the Pacific side of Mexico? We were on the Caribbean side, further down the coast from Playa Del Carmen. We had great weather, other than one afternoon with a few showers. Hubby and I went to the pool that day anyway because there was…
  • LW: 134.8 TW: 134.8 This is what all exercise with not much thinking about intake gets for me. Oh well, I plan to get a new plan as soon as I get home. Lois, it's great to see you back here, and to read about your trip. Sounds like it was both fun and exhausting, like most vacations are. I agree with Sarah that your…
  • Hi Sarah . . yep, so far just you and me. I'm guess that the sensation in your behind is due to deep bruising and swelling from your injury. Did any bruises appear on your skin? If not, it may or may not eventually appear on your skin, but that doesn't mean you had no deeper injury to your muscle and bone. I've had many…
  • Sarah, it seems it's just us while Lois and Kelly play, lol. I'm thinking about you dealing with those d*** plumbing issues!! I can't stand plumbing problems. Over the years hubby and I have had our fair share, and it's the worst. There's nothing you an do either, but fix it and pay for it over time with credit because…
  • LW: 134.6 TW: 134.6 I'm pretty happy with maintaining considering having company here. Kelly, congratultions on your daughter's gold medal! And Happy Anniversary :) Enjoy Mexico, and give my best wishes to your brother and his bride. <3 Sarah, your steps are still very high considering you have an injury. I've found that…
