All caught up on the reading. Well as for me having a tougher day than yesterday. Feel like eating but also feeling in the dumps this afternoon. Went to bed all afternoon to stay out of the kitchen. Oh well better days to come. See you all lighter. Linda

Hello to all and it's another beautiful sunshinny day. Always feel pepier and good on them days. It's cold but the sun is shinning. Becca I also belong to tops. It's tonight hopefully I have a loss. But according to my wii it's touch and go. Meg I put my fit bit through the washer. Was I surprised when I took it out of my…

Good morning even coming here oftern and reading what everyone is up to it's very time consuming. But keeps me from eating. Meg We could never forget you. You just do what you have to do. If you need help to get you out from under that rock we will come with pick and shovel. Maybe we don't need those there'll be so many of…

Hi all of you if you are truly depressed you need to seek medical help. If it's winter blues like I get you need to get active. Get up in the morning fix yourself up to meet the queen. Then you feel like facing the word. This morning I didn't do that was even to down to hit the shower so hair not done. Needless to say I…

Allison So sorry for your loss. Poor old fella. Well it's nearing the end of the day and i'm still with it. My lentil and pork soup I made for lunch from leftover held me over snack time and all. Supper is ready all but my cauliflower rice. That won't take long. You all have a great evening now. See you all lighter. Linda

Well that was short and easy. Not much since I posted last. And even less with me. Linda

Good morning and the day will be as good as you make it. Mine will be great because I want it to be. Sylvia So you have two houses one happens to be on a lake. Mine is also on a lake it's not remote it's only 7 miles away from home. But no hydro, no running water, wood stoves. You want to wash you take a sauna and roll in…

Good morning all Yes senseless shootings. Even if the funds were available do you really in your heart of hearts think it would change anything. Those that do the shooting are sick and yes they need help. But they have to come forward and ask for the help. I found that out myself I come to realize I need help with my…

Hello to all Sylvia A dishwasher at the cottage really. I don't even have running water. I have in the summer water from the lake and melt snow in the winter. Bet you don't even have an outhouse lol. Nice fish platter. Chris I call those bouts of depression winter blues I had that a couple weeks ago shook myself out of it.…

Well all that reading used up a good part of two hours. Means to fridge raiding. Elaine Congrats on your loss your going the right way. no guess if your looking at the scale you want it to go left lol. Sylvia I as well love the cottage in winter. Love the crackling of the fire. But it's not opened to get there. And of…

This is one tough battle we are fighting i'm sure i'm not alone in this. I had lost two days in a row. All I did wrong was have oatmeal for breakfast guess I had to much. Because b/s went up So i watched all day bringing it down to 5.4 by supper time. But wii gave me a gain this morning. Ouch didn't need that. So not to…

Good for you even though I go with lbs sounds like you lost a lot of weight. I'm trying to do low carbs some days are hard. Yesterday for example felt like having oatmeal guess I had to much of it and it resulted in a gain this morning but a good day today should take care of that. String many good days at he end makes for…

Welcome to the best motivation suport i've found on the web. Good luck See you lighter

I'm fairly new with low carbing. But when I stay on it and do good i loose weight. I try for under 70 carbs per day. Somedays I hit over but like anything sometimes life gets in the way.

So seems like the fat is very important. Right now i'm having home made soup should I be adding a little oil or butter to it. Or when I have moose stew not much fat in there. Should I be adding some.

Hi all you seem to all be doing wonders. But I haven't heard of anyone diabetic here. That's what you have to do when your diabetic. Go low carb high fat. I'm working on it. But I believe my diatisean won't agree with what i'm doing. But I want the weight off. See you all lighter Linda in Northern Ontario

I work on trying to stay under 100 a lot of days in around 70. If I stick to it I loose weight. If your just starting Good luck

Oh my finally caught up had three pages to read. Didn't take notes would have been way to time consuming bad enough it's after ten am not even showered yet. Oh well still a lot of day left. I did go visit wii and he smiled again this morning. Would be nice to see him smile every morning for a week. But for that to happen I…

Kim I don't believe one bad day would ruin a week of hard work. Margaret That's great that your working towards something you want. Good luck Carol If you miss teaching maybe you can help in a library or some place where they have reading programs. Well not much to report other than i'm having a good day. Went our to…

Darn that's two posts I lose I'll make this short and see what happens if it works i'll be back with more after coffee Went to tops last night was down 1.4 so that is 6 lbs for Jan. So going to keep with it. I did lose a week and I know I had gained but got that off. So going forward. see you lighter Linda in Northern…

Rose So sorry to hear about your terrible month. End of Jan. hurry hurry. Feb. will be a much better month. Grandmaille can't remember your name i've been missing so long. But sorry for your loss. I always say I check the orbits and drive by funeral homes don't want to miss my own funeral. That's one day I want to be late…

You have a very good reason to look great in Aug. But don't push to hard and be sick on that day it's only a little better than 6 months that's a lot of weight in 6 months. But your young probably will do it. For one reason alone you want it. Reach for the stars.

You have to want it real bad. But they say it's doable. I need to lose at least 60 lbs. Good luck

Can we start somekind of thread calling it accountability and meeting at least 3 times a week to share how well we are doing. I'm no good at starting things not sure how.

hi all and good luck. We can do this. But help would be nice. I'm a 67 year old diabetic needing to lose at least 68 lbs. Anyone want to befriend me.

Found some very informative stuff in this post. I'm also farily new at this. Is it hard yes but not near as bad as I thought. Good luck to all.

I know for one thing I can lose weight much better when I'm at the cottage. I live off the grid out there. No water, no hydro no easy heat. So pretty much back in time You want a good day You get up have a coffee. Light your stove then fill the wood box. Haul water for whatever even to flush toilet if you don't want to use…

I was having some of hubby's pork rind yesterday on our way home from a short trip. And couldn't believe how low in carbs they were. Today they will be in my shopping cart for sure.

Thank you for the very helpful info i'm very new at this. And every bit of info is helpful.

Good luck mfchlambi Sure I ran into hurdles We had our Thansgiving That was tough. See you lighter Linda
