I have been here 45 days and today I hit my first goal....10 pounds lost! Twenty pounds to go and when I get there, I will see if I can do 10 more. I am committed....I am strong...I am changing my life.

  • Monday Monday, everyone! Maureen, it's great you were able to get out and walk! I can't get up the motivation in the cold. Hopefully your surgery gets rescheduled soon! Lana, it was a success, thanks! There were some leftovers which I brought home. I will have that as a topping to scrambled eggs till it's gone. I actually…

  • Good Morning! Day 01—02/04— 174.6 - Need to buy more salad mix...trying to eat a salad a day. Day 02—02/05— 174.4 - Not real hungry today. Had a sandwich for lunch. Don't know about dinner. I have doubled my metformin dose, which my Endo is fine with. I think its helping with my sugar and appetite. Day 03—02/06— 175 - Been…

  • Happy SuperBowl Sunday! Glad you are OK, Sara! Wow.... Lana, so far, so good. The storm we expected was a bust, which is just fine. But Tuesday they are talking about 6 inches....bleah! Will be putting the cover on my car tomorrow in preparation. I am ok on food....I can't be one of those people who runs to the grocery…

  • Good Morning! Lana, you are right. I think the whole country needs a party. Another storm is coming, although not so much snow. But Tuesday another storm is coming with snow. And another one after that. If I were 10 years old again, I would be jumping up and down. But since I don't go to school or do any sledding now, I'm…

  • Good Morning! Got an invite to a Super Bowl party on Sunday. I kinda NEED a party right now. Was asked to make my 7 Layer Dip, which is a bit labor intensive but I am going to try. It IS a nice appetizer. Not going out today, though with the ice situation to get the ingredients. Will have to wait till tomorrow. I think I…

  • Good Day! @indoorsy_ , at this time of year, I am more focused on calorie/carb intake. I am not a gym rat....haven't been for a long time. But as the weather warms up, I will be out walking and expect to see more progress. Day 01—02/04— 174.6 - Need to buy more salad mix...trying to eat a salad a day. Day 02—02/05— 174.4 -…

  • Howdy, Crew! I have been trying to crochet a hooded scarf for my granddaughter, but the boucle yarn is maddening! I do a few rows and I have to stop. And I have been crocheting for decades. Boucle is much easier to knit. But I will keep at it. Made a salmon salad sandwich for lunch. I haven't had any bread in over a week…

  • Good Afternoon! Maureen, hope you have better luck with your new cleaners. Just about to get some lunch....didn't have breakfast. I can't help worrying about the future. My anxiety is on overdrive. But I am not going to use that as an excuse to eat and go backwards. Something positive has to come out of the future and if…

  • Hi! I have had that issue this week....and I am diabetic, too. There is no shame in treating yourself in moderation. If you deprive yourself completely, you will go crazy with cravings. Have a little something. I had one small piece of cake this afternoon....I don't feel guilty. And you shouldn't either. 🙂

  • Hi! I have plantar fasciitis and my podiatrist gave me stretching exercises for my feet to do before I walk. It definitely helps. You are NOT a failure. Pain is a tough thing to push through for anyone. How long/far do you walk? Maybe start out with shorter distances or rest halfway through. Also, there are indoor walking…

  • Good Morning! Slept well and that's a plus for me. After a day of rain, the sun is out today. The ground thawed a bit so I was able to get the pole for the bird feeder securely in the ground and screw the feeder back on the pole. And I want to see if the solar panel for the feeder camera keeps the camera charged....that…

  • You don't have to weigh yourself....some people don't. They simply wait and use the fit of their clothing as their guide. Or they don't weigh themselves often. I weigh every morning. Weight fluctuates naturally and that's normal. You decide what works best for you. There is no right or wrong. 🙂
