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 Afternoon! The challenge for this week ended and I was a half pound short. But that's ok...I feel thinner and I am still moving in the right direction. It's in the 70's today but rain is expected. This is the time of year where I don't need the heat or the a/c...saves me money. I got a very heavy package yesterday and…

  • Good Afternoon! How did everyone do? I see some losses, but some haven't checked in yet. Day 51—03/26— 171.6 - I forgot AGAIN to weigh myself yesterday before I had breakfast out so I can't comment on my halfway mark. BUT I can see it didn't negatively affect my weight. I am inching closer to the 160's. Slow and steady…

  • Good Sunday Morning, All! Enjoyed the day out with the dog…he got a chance to run around and was happy as a lark. I think he had cabin fever. The outdoors helped me too. But I should have had a camera on me when I sat down in the camp chair….would have made America's Funniest Videos. I put the chair together wrong and when…

  • Hi everyone! Thanks, Lana! If I feel the same way next time, I will definitely consider it. I am currently at my ex's in the backyard with the doggie. He is having a great time. He missed being able to run free and fetch the ball. I think he had cabin fever. But he spilled his water twice....won't have any left for me I…

  • Good Afternoon! Lana, we have clouds again today...but better days are coming. Good luck on your list! Had my dental appointment yesterday. I had a lot of anxiety because of it, because it was a new office so all new staff which causes me anxiety. But everyone was very nice....the place was immaculate and very modern and…

  • Good Morning! Maureen, that's must have been a difficult week! Glad it's over for you. And a jogging stroller sounds awesome! Wish I had a grand baby to take for walks. Lana, thank you! Had breakfast out yesterday with the SO. Eggs Benedict Oscar. A splurge, but it didn't adversely affect my weight, so that's good. Went to…

  • Good Morning! @the_reflex , I understand the need for a budget…I get $145 a month in food stamp money. And being diabetic, I too have a health issue that means I need to eat the more expensive fresh foods. I don't always have enough in the account to cover the whole month. Day 51—03/26— 171.6 - I forgot AGAIN to weigh…

  • Good Afternoon! Lana, its sad and gloomy here in NJ, too.....sigh.... One more day until the end of the halfway mark of the challenge. Almost made goal for the week. Tomorrow will tell more. Posting pics isn't working again....grrrr. Oh well. Hope you're day, if it's gloomy, goes fast. Sandy TMW - 172.2

  • Happy Monday! @dawnbgethealthy , I rarely eat breakfast. I am more of a brunch person. I just don't feel hungry in the morning. So I can identify. Keep on! @Lilylake3k , nice loss! Day 43—03/18— 173 - Got myself back on track. I can get that pound off and more, if I try. Yesterday, my urologist suggested I try Mounjaro.…

  • Good Morning! Lana...LOL! Those cabana boys do get around. 😉 Up down, up down....I feel like a yo yo. This weight is frustrating at times. And this weather isn't cooperating either...haven't walked in a few days. Still crocheting, though...made another bunny pin and and an owl. I am going to try my hand at a little bear.…

  • Good Saturday All! Sara, thanks! I am in the groove....hope it continues. I purposely am doing small projects to hold my interest so I don't get bored. Boredom is my enemy...leads to depression. Had shrimp for lunch and pecans for a snack. Will have a small steak for dinner. Not much more to report. Till tomorrow... Sandy…

Maybe somebody fixed something? Keep trying. Lana, those boys keep you grounded...he, he, he... Have been feeling a bit bloated the last couple days…

  • Good Evening Everybody! @dawnbgethealthy , that's a good challenge! I did it today....takes me that long to get my trash to the dumpster, pick up my mail and walk back to my apartment. The weather is getting cold again which keeps me from long walks. Day 43—03/18— 173 - Got myself back on track. I can get that pound off…

Packaged up all the little giveaways and they are ready to go to new homes. And I have some new ideas for giveaways to make....a bee and a mug coaster with a teabag. Had leftover spaghetti and…

  • Good Day! Sarah, wow! That's an awesome loss! WTG! Lana, the appointment was SO easy this time....took about 5 minutes. Recommendations of what foods to avoid (but everything in moderation). Said he didn't want to prescribe me any meds on top of what I am already taking, which I sure appreciate. No pre testing and come…

  • Good Morning! Sara.…mmmmm....donuts. I have to admit I bought 2 glazed donuts at Wegman's but have only had a few bites of one. Another good day yesterday. I lost a pound on the challenge, but didn't reach goal, so it was a mixed experience. Challenge continues tomorrow. I have my urologist appointment this afternoon. Not…
