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! Maureen, thank you! And I believe an occasion splurge is healthy mentally. 😉 Thanks, Lana! I did....but having the cabana boys serving would have been a plus. 😉 Today was straightening up and washing sheets. My daughter bought me some gifts from my Amazon wishlist. She got me a ceramic lined water bottle,…

  • Good Morning....after midnight Lana, thank you! I appreciate the festivities! And Sara has great rhythm! 😉 So I reached the weekly goal…YAY! But tonight, the SO took me out for my birthday dinner. It was mostly protein...lobster tail and filet....and a salad. One drink....a Hibiscus Sangria. And a heavenly chocolate…

  • Absolutely! You do what works for you....what motivates you. The main reason I weigh every morning is I need to see how my body reacts to the foods I eat. As a diabetic, it gives more information. But that's not for everyone. Good luck with your program!

  • Hi! It's Taco Tuesday! But I didn't have tacos....I got a turkey club salad....and a brownie...from Saladworks. Yeah, I know....but its my birthday so I figure I deserve it. My sugar is understandably up, but I have to take the metformin WITH a meal, not before so it doesn't upset my stomach. Sugar should start to go down…

  • Happy Tuesday! @deepwoodslady , I live alone and I still buy snacks that aren't all that great for me. But I eat them very sparingly. I wish I could buy snack cakes and pies, but I opt for Milanos and wafer cookies. I had to stop buying cheese balls....they were too easy to go crazy with. Day 29—06/12— 170 - I have stopped…

  • Howdy, All! Sara....geez! Glad you are doing better! We were all wondering.... Maureen, the Georgia trip sounds like it turned out great! Enjoy! Lana....hey! 🙋‍♀️ And you other ladies....give a shout! This weather is a real downer! More grey skies and rain for 2 more days. Then its going to be summer....hot and humid. But…

  • Good Evening! Lana, lazy Sunday all around. 🙂 I felt lousy this morning. I slept well, so I was confused. Forced myself to eat a granola bar and have some OJ to take my pills. Then I brewed up an oversized mug of Earl Grey with lemon and filled my water bottle. I feel fine now....maybe I was dehydrated? But the weather…

  • Good Afternoon! Although it's grey and yucky out, the temps are down so the a/c was off all night (just ran a fan) and the same today. Bro and SIL gave me a check for $200 for my birthday next week...and the SIL got me some locally made skin care products…my brother said the shea butter is one of her favorites so will…

  • Happy Friday! Maureen, you are better than me. Not sure I could be that disciplined on a vacation. And I have been using waterproof bandages on my wound....seem to be working. Have fun!

  • Good Late Morning! Challenge week ended today and I finished a little high. I was expecting it, though. I am still in the 160's and that's a win for me. A walk is planned for later this afternoon....me, doggie and the SO. Breakfast was a couple scrambled eggs and some milk to take pills with. I might just have cottage…

  • Good Morning! How did everyone everyone do this week? I am going back and check on your progress. I don't troll the groups but the last time I was on MFP, the whole "skinny fat" issue was very demoralizing to many people. I am not worried so much about that. Sure, I may lose some muscle but I can tell I am mostly losing…

  • 🎶Hello, HELLO, HELLO!🎶.......hello. Lana, it will only be temporary. I want to see if they are the culprit. If so, I will contact my doc and see if there is something I can do. I have osteopenia....don't want to get worse. Thanks, Maureen! Feeling better today...I'll see if that continues. Feeling more upbeat today....may…

  • Good Evening....hope y'all had a nice weekend! @age_is_just_a_number , thank you! The meatballs were a project, but my SO acted as my sous chef.....I don't like the chopping and grating.

  • Good Day! @deepwoodslady , I have to admit to missing Golden Corral...I used to take my kids there when they were young. I used to go to Old Country Buffet before they closed....and before I started my weight loss, of course. But I will still go to Asian buffets...I can have all the crab legs I want and not do any real…
