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! @dawnbgethealthy , I find that unless I get out of my apartment, I can't get started. Until evening....then for some reason I get a spurt of energy. Wish I could switch that around. Day 29—03/04— 173.2 - Got in a walk today, that's how nice the weather was. Looking forward to another walk tomorrow. Day…

  • Good Afternoon! Rrrrrowlllll. Go get him, Lana! 😉 And glad you like the owls. I Almost forgot to post....I had a podiatrist appointment and then I made more owls. I have 4 made now. Finally got the recycling down to the bins….no more boxes or bottles/cans sitting around. The corned beef specials came out as good as a deli.…

  • Good Evening! Maureen, absolutely! It's a little gift. Here are 2 little owls I made. Their beaks light up (an LED tea light in the back). I glued a pin on it so it can be worn or pinned to something. Today, me and the SO went to Wegman's and got stuff to make a corned beef special....kobe corned beef, Swiss cheese, coke…

  • Guten Tag! Sara, thanks! And great to hear about the gentleman! I know how hard it is to find good men out there. Lana, thank you! This will be a real crochet adventure for me. I have made many afghans before but nothing like that one. Got in a walk with the SO yesterday…but the WIND! Brrrr. However, next week, the temps…

  • Good Evening! Lana, I dont like the "improvements" on the groups either. I used to love the original MFP. Wish they hadn't sold it....ruined everything. And hope you are sleeping better now! I have been crocheting and I am going to attempt to make a rose granny afghan for my granddaughter. I finished one square and am…

  • Greetings, Gates! Cathy, nice to see another crocheter. That is so cool that as a lefty that you can crochet as a righty. I was always told if you sit in front of a lefty and watch, it's like seeing it done right-handed. I tried that with my best friend's mother, who was left-handed, but that didn't work for me. My sister…

  • Good Morning! Lana, I will probably have a talk with my primary when I see him. Although not sure what can be done that hasn't already been tried. This runs in my family, too. Missy, glad your pup is doing ok. I hope mine does as well at 15. 🙂 Sara, hope things go more smoothly for you today! Cathy, glad you posted. That…

  • Hi! Sweets are tough...I know. I can't avoid them totally and I admire anyone who can. But I do it in moderation and that helps. I make low sugar treats, too. There are a lot of friendly groups here...I hope you check them out. You will find your niche. I want to wish you all the best with your upcoming surgery and…

  • Good morning! Thanks, Lana! If only the medical community had real answers. I have been to psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, doctors off and on since the age of 15. They either give you pills that do nothing or make you a zombie, or they sit there and tell you what you have to do. Which is so obvious, but it makes…

Bad day yesterday....depression...eating the wrong things. Today has to be better. But last night the panic attacks set in, waking me up several times. No fun. Ok....here's to a…

  • Good Sunday! Sometimes you just need junk food....that was yesterday's Cane's chicken and a Freddy's brownie sundae. But that was yesterday....back to normal today. And the gain is certainly manageable. My SO's son, who moved halfway across the country 6 months ago for his dream job with NASA was fired....you can take a…

  • Good Afternoon! @deepwoodslady , your post got to me. I have gone through similar. I lost a dear friend to cancer (oddly enough, she was my ex husband's girlfriend). I was her caregiver during the day and my ex took over at night. I kept her company, helped her around the house and drove her places. It was so hard at…
