I am about to hit the big 5-0 next month. I have 3 children in their 20s – oldest is my son, Marcus (granddaughter Sophie is 7 months), then my daughter Sydney (due 2/8/24 with baby Oliver), and my youngest daughter Hunter (grandson Byron is 5 months & due with #2 on 6/15/24). I’m a single empty nester and I share my home…

@Katmary71 – I am surprised that your area doesn’t have grocery stores participating. I have 3 within 20 minutes of me with another 2 stores within 30 minutes. I’m sorry. The Advent I opted for this year is from DAVIDsTEA called 24 Trips with Tea. I’m not having it each night, though. I thought it would be fun if Hunter…

@19shmoo69 – Ok, gotcha. You do what makes you feel better. Life is too short to be miserable! @Katmary71 – Sounds scary to have such a large dog running the neighborhood. Hope the owner straightens up their act. @littlebabekitty – Welcome to the team! Awesome job with the 17 pound weight loss right off the bat! PMS can…

I can’t remember how far back I was, so I’m just starting with responses to things written last week. I’m determined to get caught up! @19shmoo69 – That’s so awesome that your Mago is walking! Your pet in its jammies is almost adorable ;) I’m confused about your diet…I thought the doctor suggested Mediterranean? I’ve…

I was going to give up and quit. But I had a good heart-to-heart with someone today that's also struggling with her weight. So I'm not quitting. I'll get caught up tomorrow. Hugs and love.

@FushiaKat – Your Halloween room is phenomenal – good luck! @Katmary71 – You’re cracking me up with your visual at college! Seems like this surgery will be a piece of cake compared to the other 2. With those, I had staples along the side of my foot from just below the pinkie toe all the way to curving up around the back of…

@19shmoo69 – Any medical updates? @katmary71 – Hugs and prayers! @Veta2018 – Congrats on the upcoming baby! Your relationship with your husband sounds adorable :) @laurelfit57 – Thanks for the marinara recipe – freezing it is so much easier :) So that’s what I’ll do, too! I hope you survived all the visitors! @trooworld –…

My intro: I have 3 children in their 20s – oldest is my son, Marcus (granddaughter Sophie is 6 months), then my daughter Sydney (due 2/8/24 with baby Oliver), and my youngest daughter Hunter (grandson Byron is 4 months & due with #2 on 6/15/24). I should be a single empty nester, but my middle daughter just got out of an…

@laurelfit57 – Would you please share your marinara recipe? And do you can it? If so, how? I’d love to do some canning, but have no idea where to start. @Veta2018 – Welcome! I’m in SW Michigan, right above you! I-94 to exit 16. And we’re the same age, too! Benny is fluffin’ adorable! @badnoodle – That is AWESOME! Fantastic…

I read something interesting today about ADHD and weight loss. Seems that I can't stick with the different programs I've tried because they are too taxing on my brain and I can't keep up. The recommended weight loss option is intermittent fasting. So all my brain has to remember is just the time frame I allow myself to eat…

Diagnosed MDD years and years ago...got my updated diagnosis...Inattentive ADHD. Makes so much more sense. Life is going 100mph...so I'll leave everyone with an adorable picture of my Sophie-Bear and Bubba Burrito Byron. I love being a Grammy to these 2 and can't wait for Ollipop (Oliver) in February and Beckett/Brayden…

@broncobuddee I need to switch back to Sunday weigh-ins. I absolutely can NOT remember to do it on Fridays...sorry! vegan4lyfe2012 Sunday PW: 203.4 CW: 204.0

Oh my peeps. Sorry for the silence. My son was suicidal and has been hospitalized for a couple weeks. I had to do a lot of driving for DIL since she doesn't have a license. He is going to be medically discharged. He feels like a failure, but I told him he's given the Navy 7 years of his life already and those back-to-back…

I have been silent on here because I haven't had a chance to actually focus and get caught up. I've had a horrible time with my mental health and I'm just spent. Marcus' coworker took him to the ER last Wednesday because he was suicidal. He was transferred to a facility and was put on the HEROES program (for military,…

Good morning, everyone! Busy next few days for me...after work today it's Vindication episode 4 at my daughter's, then tomorrow I have an online stamping event from 9am to 1pm, then run to the farm store to find hedge trimmers for son's Bday present, then take my mom down to see him for Birthday dinner. It's going to be a…

@Neon_Ninja – Have you ever watched Attack of the Killer Donuts? It’s pretty funny! It’s free on Freevee, Plex, Tubi, etc…here’s the IMDB link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4480398/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_6_nm_2_q_killer%2520donu @Katmary71 – I’m so glad you like my Halloween movie list. I’ll start working on it! @trooworld…

@broncobuddee I didn't see a response about changing my weigh in to Fridays, so here's Sunday again. Please let me know if it's ok to change. Thanks! vegan4lyfe2012 Sunday PW: 203.4 CW: 205.0

@Neon_Ninja – I’m a horror fan, so when I look at your beautiful photos, all I can think of is Wrong Turn hahahahaha! Kinda scary with the bear, but at least it’s a black bear and not a brown one. @trooworld – Love the painting-that is too fun!!! And I promise not to tell your hubby his pic is floating around here :) So…

@broncobuddee Please change my weigh in day to Friday. Thanks!

@steffibabiie – Please share your tabbouleh recipe! Where you live looks amazing *swoon* My knowledge of Australia is limited to crazy oversized creatures and horror movies. I’ll pop a photo below of the area where I live. @maggybd – Nice goal! @Katmary71 – Hope you’re feeling better today. @megnolia82 – Any special tea…

@FushiaKat – There you go, kicking butt again! Love the building contest :) That DOES look hard – very labor intensive. About how long did it take for you to build it? @Neon_Ninja – Sorry your extra help flaked out on you. But that look on Greta’s face makes it all worth it! What a cutie-pie! My little Bubba Burrito Byron…

Welcome to all the new peeps! If I don’t address you individually, please know that I’m still happy you’re here with us! @trooworld – I don’t have a Ninja Foodi. Just a Ninja air fryer that has the option for dehydrating. I looked at those recipes and they are way too labor intensive for my lazy self. But thanks for…
