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.

  • Howdy, Group! @Jon4189 , happy to see you have broken the plateau! We all know how that feels. 🙂 I just HAVE to relate the events of last night, but you can skip this if you want to. Last night was historic! (If you're a baseball fan, that is) I was in attendance at the Phillies/Red Sox game. It was the bottom of the…

  • Good day, Everybody! Last night was historic! (If you're a baseball fan, that is) I was in attendance at the Phillies/Red Sox game. It was the bottom of the tenth, tie score, bases loaded for the Phils. The rules say that if the catchers glove interferes with the batter's swing, the batter gets the base. All night, the Sox…

  • Good Late Monday Morning! Jon…how kind of you to ask! He is doing great! He is almost completely healed and on Wednesday I am supposed to take photos of the surgical area and email them to the vets office for review. Hopefully I can have his stitches out soon....he needs to be groomed badly. So that's the main worry past.…

  • Happy Sunday! Maureen, big sis developed pancreatic cancer (probably from smoking) and it was stage 4....wasn't much that could be done. But it was the chemo that actually killed her....she could have lived longer without it. Her body couldn't handle it. It was 25 years ago, but I still miss her. She took care of me when I…

  • Hello, Friends! Hope you have a pleasant Sunday! @ptitejeanne , great loss! WTG! @deepwoodslady , an awesome loss, water or no water! I remember the whole "skinny fat" thing when I was on MFP years ago. I look at it this way. I use the scale and make no apologies. I will never be muscular, but I rented a second floor…

I needed that thought. ❤️ Day 64—07/17— Didn't weigh Day 65—07/18— 168.2 - My weight is up because I ate wrong and too much...it was too tempting.

  • Good Morning, Friends Sorry I have been AWOL. My son and family are in town for a week and I have been spending time with them. Only get to see my grandkids twice a year so I see them as much as I can. But now I feel disconnected to everyone. I need to catch up. And we have a new week in progress. I hope its a good one for…

  • Good morning all... @gemwolf110 , thanks! I am trying to not stress out about the whole thing....recovery, hospital bill...., but that's not happening. I will feel better when Qamar is healed and back to his old self....hopefully by the end of the week. I had to put the cone of shame back on Qamar...he wouldn't listen to…

  • Good Morning.... Maureen, we passed a pretty peaceful night except he jumped on and off the bed once....he's not allowed to do that. I ordered pet steps for him so that won't happen, but they won't arrive til tomorrow. The pills-in-the-peanut-butter trick is working for his pills, thankfully. They help with pain and make…

  • Hi... Maureen, I have Care Credit....I got it specifically for mine and Qamar's health care. I just never expected anything like this. They won't even do anything unless you pay upfront so I am thankful I had the option. I get 6 months to pay the balance, so I will keep the Go Fund Me page up for that long and will do my…

  • Hi, Everyone Yesterday was not the day I planned. I took Qamar to be groomed and less than a minute after I dropped him off, the groomer was calling to me to come back. She held Qamar up and there was blood all around his penis. I freaked out. Called the vet, they got him in a couple hours later. Did xrays....he had stones…

  • Howdy, Crew! Missy, the maintenance crew was supposed to come a week ago and replace the filter in the HVAC system, but I had to go out and missed them. But its not a big deal....I don't use the central air in the summer because it isn't enough so I will buy my own filter....a better one...and replace it myself. And as…

  • Good Sunday, Everybody! Well, the swimming was a bust. I felt sick after awhile. The air temp was 87⁰, but the water temp was 88⁰! My crazy SIL insists on keeping the thermal cover on the pool when its not in use so the water can't cool off. My blood sugar spiked and I couldn't wait to get home. I told my brother I wasn't…

  • I have a similar story. Lost 50 pounds here, but gained back 30. It's so easy to become complacent. I have lost 22 of those 30 so I am very pleased. Being diabetic keeps me mostly honest, though. Everything in moderation is my mantra as well as slow and steady wins the race. I know its hard to be patient, but it took me 10…
