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.

  • Good Evening, All! @daria0919 , that's so cool! If I had a house, I would love to have chickens. @iradi8 , wow....that's great! I do 2 dozen at a time since it's only me. I am surprised at the price...I pay $4 a dozen. Day 71—01/05— 177 - My egg lady texted me....her hens are laying again, so I went and picked up 2 dozen.…
  • Good Afternoon!! @mkculs13 , I am feeling better today, thank you! Still relaxing with the heating pad, though. I thought I wasn't going anywhere today, but my egg lady texted me this morning and said she had 2 dozen for me, so I pulled the cover off my car, drove over and got the eggs. I plan on hard boiling some for…
  • Good Day! Good luck this week! @coopdaw , WOW....that looks delicious! @DaffyGirl88 , looks like your plateau has ended. Great job! @dawnbgethealthy , hope you get your holiday stuff packed up. Mine is packed but the bins are still in my living room until I am sure my back is ok. I am in no hurry. Day 71—01/05— 177 - My…
  • Howdy, troops! Maureen, I have a 70 year old body with a 25 year old mind and the mind can't reconcile with the body. 😂 I keep wondering why I can't do this or that the way I used to? Then I sigh and do the best I can. I used to be in good shape too, but I don't have the excuse of a knee issue. Lana, I get awakened by the…
  • Good Afternoon! @deepwoodslady, I still have fudge left too. I am allowing myself one piece a day. Also tossing a cheesecake....but it was a terrible cheesecake. I didn’t make it. 😁 Day 64—12/29— 177.6 - Feeling a little off mentally today. Going to spend time with my son and family today. Moving the goal up a bit until…
  • Good Day! @Tilliesmommy1 , I did laundry yesterday, too...it was falling out of the hamper. :D And a forgiveness project is very worthwhile. Brings peace. Maureen, the weather has forced me to scale back on walking too, unless I go to the mall and walk. And that is too tempting...LOL! Lana, sorry you had trouble sleeping.…
  • Good Afternoon y'all! @coopdaw ...awesome consistent losses! Great job! Day 64—12/29— 177.6 - Feeling a little off mentally today. Going to spend time with my son and family today. Moving the goal up a bit until after the New Year. Day 65—12/30-- 176.4 - Didn't eat well yesterday, but lost a little. Still not mentally…
  • Good Afternoon Everyone! Day 64—12/29— 177.6 - Feeling a little off mentally today. Going to spend time with my son and family today. Moving the goal up a bit until after the New Year. Day 65—12/30-- 176.4 - Didn't eat well yesterday, but lost a little. Still not mentally there...a bit depressed. Post Christmas blues? Day…
  • Good Afternoon! I was out shopping with my daughter today....she bought me Chic Fil A for lunch....not the best, but I haven't been there in ages. My back still isn't 100% but I'm glad I went....needed the exercise. Didn't buy anything but helped my daughter pick out new bedding. Lana, thank you! I am glad I got it done. I…
  • Good Afternoon, again! @Zaxa2021, hang in there. I don't expect to be back to my pre-holiday weight until next week. @iradi8 , I am a little better today since I got a couple errands and chores crossed off my list. THANK YOU! Day 64—12/29— 177.6 - Feeling a little off mentally today. Going to spend time with my son and…
  • G'afternoon everyone! Maureen, an overseas trip....how exciting! I envy you! Enjoy your dinner out! Lana, I was able to clean the aquarium....I feel very accomplished. 😁 The snails are happy, I am sure. I want to get a couple fish for the tank, soon. And I did remember to changed the flower water. Got to CVS and picked up…
  • Good Day, All! Forgot to post yesterday....a bit depressed. Post Christmas blues? Perhaps. Things to do but little motivation to do them. MUST clean my little aquarium today....that will help. And change the water in the flower vase....I got some flowers for Christmas and I want them to last. And the cuttings from my…

  • Good Morning! Have a good week, everyone! @Zaxa2021 , I swear by hot tea, honey, lemon and a shot of good whiskey. The cheap stuff doesn't work. I am not a whiskey drinker (not much of anything but an occasional wine drinker), but I keep a bottle on hand strictly for coughs. @springlering62 , that's beautiful! I don't have…
  • Good Afternoon! Lana, so sorry. I don't think you ever stop missing a loved one. I was feeling that way earlier. My late partner died 10 years ago on the 21st. I still get Facebook posts from his daughter every year. @Tilliesmommy1 , Are You Being Served? was one of my favorites. Brit coms are the best! Maureen , I have 2…
  • Good Afternoon! @coopdaw , great job hitting goal! And the same to those who did also. And to the rest of us, I know we will get there too! Day 57—12/22— 173.6 - The next several days will be challenging. Today I made 2 kinds of cookie dough ahead for baking tomorrow. . Day 58—12/23— 174.6 -- Cookie baking day with the…
  • Good Morning! @deepwoodslady , stable is good! Enjoy your family dinner tomorrow! Day 57—12/22— 173.6 - The next several days will be challenging. Today I made 2 kinds of cookie dough ahead for baking tomorrow. . Day 58—12/23— 174.6 -- Cookie baking day with the grandkids. Will try to only taste the finished products. Day…
  • Good Morning, Everybody! Lana, thanks for asking. Its a little better. I stayed off my feet most of the day with the heating pad, which helped. Just occasional mild spasms now. Another day of rest and things should be almost back to normal. The water company came around and flushed the hydrants. It not only made a mess,…
  • Happy Day After Christmas Second Day of Chanukah Day!! @Zaxa2021 - 😔 Be good to yourself.❤️ @DaffyGirl88 , I don't blame you. 😉 To those of you who lost over the last 2 days, you have my admiration. Day 57—12/22— 173.6 - The next several days will be challenging. Today I made 2 kinds of cookie dough ahead for baking…
  • Happy Day After Christmas Second Day of Chanukah! The scale definitely reflected the last 2 days. Not concerned. The next couple days will be much less intense. My back has been spasming the last few days....made things difficult. My ex gave me an extra $100 for my troubles....$300 in all. The money was ALMOST worth the…
  • Good Afternoon! Quick check in... Day 57—12/22— 173.6 - The next several days will be challenging. Today I made 2 kinds of cookie dough ahead for baking tomorrow. . Day 58—12/23— 174.6 -- Cookie baking day with the grandkids. Will try to only taste the finished products. Day 59—12/24— 177.6 - I had plenty of exercise…
  • Good Morning/Afternoon! @dawnbgethealthy , it's too CCCCCCCCOLD out! Only the dedicated joggers are braving this. @Zaxa2021 , oh no! Hope you feel better real soon! ❤️ @izzyred9400 , oh, GEEZ. I sure hope it goes away quick. Why does this happen to people right before the holidays? 😔 Day 57—12/22— 173.6 - The next several…
  • Good Evening! Was so busy today, I forgot to post until now. But I made it. @deepwoodslady, yes this is going to be a tough week or so. But knowing it is half the battle. Enjoy your holiday! @springlering62 , I feel the same way when I am sick.....my dog doesn't really understand except he knows somethings not right and he…
  • I am taking a logging break....its too unpredictable a time for me. But I am still trying to be somewhat careful. I don't expect any losses until after New Year's but if I can mostly maintain, I will be satisfied. Hope you have a wonderful holiday, too!
  • Good late Morning! @springlering62 , what a great loss....CONGRATS! Enjoy your sofa day! @izzyred9400 - Dance Fit to holiday music sounds like such fun! @Shetlandmama , congrats on the loss! Day 50—12/15— 176.4 - The party did do a number on my number...ha, ha. Back to normal today. Keeping my goal the same. Halfway…
  • Good Morning, Crew! Thanks, Missy! And I hope you get your A's, too. I remember those days. 😁 I got all my shopping done. I got up and went out to the shopping plaza as they opened and finished up before the crowds and traffic poured in, which are huge triggers for me. Then stopped at Aldi and got the potatoes for…
  • Happy FriYAY! @indoorsy_ , I hear you. It's frustrating. I swear this time of year you don't even have to eat and the numbers go up. Day 50—12/15— 176.4 - The party did do a number on my number...ha, ha. Back to normal today. Keeping my goal the same. Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: Since I started the…
  • Happy FriYAY! @Tilliesmommy1 , thanks! I think the panic attacks have subsided for the moment, thank goodness....I slept well! And I got a lot of meal milage out of my last pot roast...they are great! Glad you got your computer almost back to normal, too. Lana, thanks! I am glad I went back and got them, too....my old…
  • Good Afternoon, all! @dawnbgethealthy , sounds like a great eating plan! @coopdaw , WOW....what a drop. Congrats on making goal! Day 50—12/15— 176.4 - The party did do a number on my number...ha, ha. Back to normal today. Keeping my goal the same. Halfway Progress Report: …..Pounds Lost so Far: Since I started the…
  • Good Morning! No panic attack last night....and I didn't wake up once to use the bathroom. That is a good night's sleep for me. Doggie is all clipped and clean....ready for Christmas. Now all that's left is gift wrapping, which is intense since I have a huge pile of gifts for the grandkids (didn't have to pay a penny for…
