  • ANTS!!!!!!! To those who are dealing with them, an effective and non-toxic solution is white vinegar. Spray it on the perimeter of the space they're invading. You may have to do it twice (I haven't had to) but it does work And yes, the rain so many of you are dealing with does entice them to go indoors. Hope this helps…

  • Another week of 90+ weather so I must get up and out early to get walking the dog and exercise in. Got it done yesterday and today after not doing anything for 2 days due to continued back spasms. But that seems to have subsided so I’m back at it. Have been reading each day so am up to speed with everyone (I think).…
  • My NSV for this week: a couple months ago I bought several items in my “next” size (down). This morning I tried on one of the skirts and it fit perfectly. A couple pants/skirts are just ‘this’ shy of fitting but I’m confident they will in the next week or so. The skirt was NOT black - - fuchsia and purple, thank you very…

  • Google "standing abs" - - I have a bad back that doesn't allow me to do floor exercises but I've been doing a standing abs set for about 2 months to strengthen my core and it's working (have lost inches when I've not lost pounds). Good luck!
  • :happy: Well, I wouldn't usually log a .8 loss but I must today as it's been since June 7th that I have had any loss at all. I've determined that the second 30 pounds will be a different approach than the first. I'm upping my daily calories, as this experiment has so far been a success. I realize I'll have to continue to…
