Greetings all and Happy New Year! I have been crazy busy and totally out of the loop. And yes, my weight loss is registering less than it was prior to my absenteeism. I am up about 8 pounds from my lowest point in November (9 pounds from my very lowest back in July of last year). I have been sporadic on keeping up on…

Good Sunday Evening to all. I see so many new posters...it's a great time to join...before all the holiday damage (:noway: ) is done rather than after!! Speaking of holiday damage...I did my share of it the week after Thanksgiving. The day is never really the problem...it's the days following with left over pie etc staring…

Hello. Just popping in to say hello to everyone and to report that the mojo I had recently found turned up missing again. But, as is ever true of me...I'm back to try, try again. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Greetings everyone. Happy Monday. Hope everyone had a good weekend and a nice start to the week! Lynn, on your question of calories...I don't think it is too healthy to go under 1,000 calories. I strive for around 1,200 calories per day but use a kinder, gentler approach to myself if I happen to go over into my exercise…

Greetings all. Thank you for the anniversary wishes! Have had a whole eight days of good eating and exercise! Feels like I got my "mojo" back!!:bigsmile: And none too soon, I might add!! Getting ready to head out to a meeting soon. To everyone with health issues...hope you are better soon. To everyone experiencing "ups and…

LOL...Robin, you are quite lovely and you do look very young!! Even now when you're hanging out in the over 50's chat room! Don't be offended...I have a feeling there are A LOT of animal lovers here, myself included, and we do tend to focus on the pups. Amanda, congratulations on the adorable twins! I'm envious....VERY…

Good Monday to all. Welcome newbies! Glad to report in that I've had four stellar days in a row!:happy: Also just got back from a 45 minute water aerobics class! I just started on Friday and will try to go two times/week. It feels really good. Amanda - how does one NOT comment on a 102 pound loss. Maybe as someone said,…

Greetings all and a wonderful Satuday to you. I finished up my "little black book" daily calorie log and so am switching back to MFP daily logging...hopefully that will get me onto this site on a more frequent, if not daily, basis. My November goals may be a strange one to you...but I have been struggling so much lately,…

:devil: Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you all have a good Sunday. Snacking got the better of me last night...it always seems like I can have a run of 5 or 6 days of being really good and then suffer a "cave in" where I cave in to the temptation to eat. Oh well, I suppose it's much better than never behaving! I think my…

Good Friday evening to all. Just came back from a surprise 50th birhday party. It was fun and I think I managed to skate through it (as well as the rest of the day) just a little bit over on calories. I was fairly controlled because I did not allow myself to snack on the goodies before the chili and cold cut supper. I did…

:noway: :drinker: :flowerforyou: :smile: Amanda...100 pounds!! WOW. You are amazing...congratulgations!! (Had to come back and edit this...my "flower for you" had turned into an "indifferent"...which is not the case at all!) Hello everyone and happy Thursday to all. I had a good day yesterday...an am on target for another…

Hello everyone...Auntie BK has been busy. I am here after a friendly poke from her, as well. My apologies for not posting for almost two months! I can't believe how quickly the time has flown by. I am still doing a sporadic calorie accounting...not near as faithful as I should be, am still going to OA, and still trying to…

WOW...WELCOME NEW POSTERS...ALL OF YOU!! I'm really intrigued by the one experiencing the first day of Spring!! Where are you??? New Zealand, Australia ??? Anyway, everyone is welcome and sharing successes, failures, what works for you, what doesn't is all encouraged. I'm on Day 4 of being back on track and still feeling…

Cindy, just popped in and read the latest posts. My sympathy to you and family for the passing of your dear granny. Experience has taught me that no matter how old they are when it happens, you still miss your loved ones when they are gone.
-
Greetings all! Just thought I'd give a shout out to let you know I didn't really drop off the face of the earth. I can't even claim to have been lurking because I haven't. After struggling with my behaviors...not wanting to exercise, not faithfully logging my meals, not even having time to keep up on reading the posts...I…
-
Me too!! :sad: But to be expected after the killer week of eating out somewhere every day of the week!! Vowing to do much better this week. At least I'm not starting off the week on an emotional downer, so if nothing else changed it would still be better than last week! I have only two restaurant/away from home meals on…

Greetings all and welcome Nancy. Kathy (plantlady) so sorry to hear about your Mother! Susan - so glad to hear your son called you! Hope everyone has a great day!!

Greeting all and wishing you a peace-filled Saturday. Linda and Suzy-Q--hugs to and prayers for both of you! Hope the rough patches pass quickly for both of you. I am a confirmed emotional eater, Linda, so I feel I may know somewhat how you are feeling...As Barbie says...never give up, the pendulum swings back very quickly…

Hello everyone...it seems like every other day at reading/posting is as good as I am going to get this week. My sister and brother-in-law are in town (up from Tulsa) from yesterday till Saturday. So, it's visiting and catching up with them that I am tuned in to at the moment. A friend dropped by last night with two tubs of…
-
Good evening to all! Thank you for the well wishes...I am feeling and doing MUCH better today. Managed to get on the treadmill for 30 minutes and kept my calories in line today. In depth journalling such as I did this morning so helps me get things into their proper perspectives. Identifying what I'm feeling sad, scared,…

Have only scanned the lasts few posts...must admit I look for Jackie's as they alway give me a chuckle!! Bless you dear, you are a sweet daughter! Here after bragging yesterday that I hadn't done too badly I had a major meltdown last night. Decided it was a good night after church to indulge in my annual (that's right...I…

Greetings all and welcome to newcomers!!! After having had house guests from early AM on June 20 through about 7:30 last evening, I feel I am emerging from the netherworld. Hoping to jump right back in and get right back on track. Didn't actually do too badly but did have a stretch where I wasn't logging food/calories or…

Greetings and happy July 7 to all...I can't believe we're a week into July and I just found the new thread! Thank you Barbiecat for posting the reminder after my July 4 post to the June-Part Two thread! I'm using fatigue as my excuse...grandson is still here and he does keep us hopping. Weight loss is slow and easy as she…

Happy Father's Day to all the DH's out there...and to their "better halves." Linda (TCAC) this message goes out to you, as does my heart. Their are many kinds of abusive behavior people engage in and you definitely were a victim of the verbal kind. As someone with brown eyes...I can only laugh at the ignorance that was…

"heartw - paying taxes is really not a thing that you must do. You can always go to jail. Not that I'd want to...lol" (from Michele) :laugh: :laugh: Thanks for the giggle...as I'm kind of partial to my freedom I think I'll insist on DH paying our taxes!! Mary...hope your Mom recuperates quickly and is able to get out of…

Mary, sorry about your Mom. Jackie, glad to hear your's is coming back home. Tiarapants, hope your Dad will be out of the hospital soon, too. Barbie, I hear you on people being judgemental. Unfortunately it's so much easier to judge others rather than to judge oneself! All we can do is be true to ourselves and just ignore…
-
Good morning everyone. Welcome, Jaxi. Hope you jump in soon. To all those with parents and parents-in-law health issues, my heart goes out to you. Having lost Elva (DH's mother who lived with us for 13 years) the end of January...the sadness of deteriorating mind and health are gone...but the permanent sadness of loss is…
-
Greetings everyone. Hope everyone has had a good day. I have been busy with sibling lunch and sorting through "stuff" for the Goodwill and Consignment store. I have some good qualtiy oak bar stools that I'd like to try selling rather than giving them away. True confession time, Jackie...I had a "three donut day" while I…

My sentinments exactly...AMEN to all of it! Back from dinner out at our favorite local mexican restaurant. Didn't do too badly. Skipped the rice, beans and margarita or Corona...so I stayed within my calories. Hope everyone has a good night!

Good morning ladies. Well, I just did my weekly weigh-in and monthly (or so) measurements. At least my weight was something I could live with (down .8 from 2 weeks ago...down 2.8 from last Monday...YIKES). Since last Tuesday I have been behaving myself and living abstinentyly. Have exercised a minimum of 30 mnutes every…
