Hi everyone, I skimmed the posts, but wish I had more time to actually read through them all. There is so much going on, but skimming doesn’t give me enough information to respond to everyone.:grumble: We had a wonderful weekend in DC. The weather was wonderful! We spent Thursday evening in Old Town Alexandria and ate at…

Good morning all, I have skimmed through some of the posts, and you are all so busy and doing so well! I know I am not a “regular”, but I am sure glad to be a part of this group in some small way. You all give me inspiration when I am feeling frustrated with my lack of progress (caused by lack of will power). :ohwell: I…

Good morning all, Thank you so much for all your kind words and support regarding my niece. When the time is right, I will let her know that she had many people praying for her recovery from this tragedy. I know she will never really get over it, but time is a great healer, and I hope she can move on with her life. Nena,…

Hello again ladies The last time I wrote on here I was ranting about how my dog bit someone and I was afraid of what would happen. I found out that the wound was only a surface wound, but, of course, we may not know the final outcome for many months. Milo is finally off the house quarantine and things are back to normal.…

Good morning ladies, I am going to apologize in advance for my rant. I had a rough weekend. My dog bit someone. My husband and I were out gardening. Hubby was in the back putting in his vegetable garden, and I was out front putting in my flowers. I was facing our house (back to the street). I was also on the phone. I might…

Good morning ladies, Haven’t been here for awhile and thought I’d hop in and say hello. I am still struggling with maintenance. When they say it’s harder to maintain than to lose weight, they aren’t kidding. Those seven pounds I gained while on vacation are not coming off, and I know I only have myself to blame. I have…

I am 61 years old and thought I couldn't lose because my metabolism was slow. I even had my doctor test me, but everything came back negative. I know a lot of people on here say to up your calories, but it didn't work for me. I had to stay at 1200 calories until I hit goal. Then I was able to up it a bit for maintenance. I…

Good Monday morning everyone, Well, I ate my way through the weekend with no exercise. :embarassed: It was rainy and miserable all weekend, and I just wanted to sleep and eat, and I sure did that. Snacked my way right through. Don’t even want to THINK about how many calories I had, and didn’t bother to log either. It’s a…

Hi everyone, I was only able to skim through the posts as there are so many of them! I guess this group just keeps growing, which is a good thing.:wink: I was thinking this past weekend as I bathed my 100 lb. dog in the shower that it must burn some calories, but I’m not sure how to log, so didn’t bother. He’s pretty good…

Good Friday morning, Things are still crazy at work, but I wanted to check in. :flowerforyou: My sodium has been through the roof lately. I am up another pound for a total of six pounds up from goal weight.:embarassed: I finally checked in with my new weight and I got a “Congratulations” message! :huh: STRANGE! It said…

Hi all, Things have been so crazy at work that I haven’t gotten the chance to catch up on the posts here, but I have been thinking of all of you. I’m still struggling with logging and exercise. I have my good days and my bad days. I am up about four pounds from my goal weight, and although it doesn’t seem like much, I know…

Hi all, I went to a walk-in center last night to have my elbow checked out. They weren’t very helpful, but gave me a script to get an X-ray. I plan to stop and get one on the way home from work tonight. I can move it without pain, but it is VERY tender to touch.:frown: I’ve been doing better with diet and exercise, but…

Hi and welcome! I am 61 years old and will be turning 62 this year. I have yo-yo dieted my whole life, and after my divorce, completely gave up for about four years. My weight was the highest it ever was. I became depressed and decided to do something about it. I lost about 20 pounds and started dating. I was so stressed…

Good morning ladies, My elbow looks much worse today and it still hurts a lot. The entire thing is bruised, but the part that hurts is a small red bump in the middle. I’m wondering if maybe I have a bone chip. I’m not sure whether to see a doctor or not. What do they do for that anyway? For some reason, I keep bumping it.…

Good morning and TGIF! This has been a rough week for me, but reading some of your posts has made me realize that my problems are small in comparison. It really helps to put things in perspective.:embarassed: I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all of your support and encouragement. It’s helpful to know that others are…
-
Hi ladies, Did you ever have one of those days? Well, I’m having one today and just have to vent a little.:grumble: It started when I fell on the ice while walking Milo this morning. I hit my elbow pretty hard (also my butt), and they are getting more and more sore by the minute.:embarassed: When I was getting hot water…

Happy Hump Day! I just can’t seem to get the time to catch up on posts. Every time I get on here there are pages and pages and I just give up.:angry: We are having the worst winter in years. Yesterday we had our third big snowstorm which is compounded by the fact that the temperature is so cold it is not going to go away…

Hi all, I haven’t been on this thread since the summer, but I have been logging even though I have been over my calories more than under lately.:embarassed: I am really struggling right now. The scale is only up about two pounds, but I don’t feel good physically or emotionally right now. I find myself making excuses for…

This is what I found out from logging on this site. If you look in the database for the same item, you can find it listed many times for different calories. If I choose the lower calorie entry, I'm not doing myself any favors, so I look until I find a higher calorie entry and enter that. I also found that it's very easy to…

Since I changed my diet, I have had trouble with constipation and gas. I have seen my doctor and a gastro specialist and no one can really help with this situation. My thyroid tested normal. I drink plenty of water and herbal teas and eat lots of fruits and veggies, but I still have trouble "going" on a regular basis. I…

I actually had my doctor say this to me, and this was BEFORE I got to my goal weight.....crazy, huh?

Hi all, We’re back from vacation and I wanted to pop in and say hi even though I don’t have time to read or respond since I’m still catching up at work. Vacation was wonderful, even though we had lousy weather the second half of the week. Thank goodness we got in lots of beach and pool time on Sunday through…

Hi all, We leave for vacation on Friday and just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello to all of you before we leave. DH decided to work half a day on Friday, so we’ll probably get on the road about 2PM. The drive to the Outer Banks is about 6 hours, and we are staying at a motel at the half-way point so we can get onto…

Hi again ladies, WOW! Haven’t been on the thread in a week and we’ve already hit 500 posts and are three days into the new thread! :noway: Just a short note to let you all know that I have not fallen off the face of the earth. I’m leaving for vacation on Friday, and have to get everything caught up in work before I leave,…

Just another manic Monday….. What a crazy weekend! Saturday was just beautiful and we finally finished power washing our deck. I scrubbed all of the railings, which get green algae on the bottoms…eewww! No matter what I do, it always comes back the next year. Anyhoo…what a difference! It looks great. Now we have to have a…

Good morning and TGIF! I got through Jury duty unscathed…yeah! I’m good for at least two years now. I never even got picked for a panel, so although it was a bit boring (thankfully, I had a good book to read), they did let us out early so I had the rest of the day to prepare for my jewelry party.:bigsmile: Speaking of the…

I struggle with sodium and processed foods as well, but I have lost the weight and gotten to my goal weight despite including them in my diet every day (I am also a lazy lunch maker). The important thing for me was portion control and measuring properly. I got a food scale and measure EVERYTHING! I even measure out salad…

Good morning beautiful ladies, Took me days to catch up with all the posts! You guys have a lot going on! Yeah! The Ghiradelli peppermint bark was spared!! I put them in the refrigerator for a day, and they look and taste just fine. Unfortunately, I forgot to order the dark chocolate ones, but these will certainly do! They…

Hi all, Just a quick note to share a BIG NSV. First of all, I wasn't sure I wanted to get up at 5:45 on my day off to exercise and hit the snooze when it went off....BUT I DID get up. When I got downstairs, every window was fogged up from the extreme heat and humidity so I turned on the news. It was alrready in the 80's…
