umm..Mission accompolished

I'm interested....I need some accountability

Bump

I'm officially now over 50 by about 32 days....clearly not the baby as that crown has been claimed...:tongue: but here I am....back at it and working on the first cycle of the 17 day diet

I'm just shy of 5'3" with about 50 to lose....That would still put me at the top of my recommended weight but as a 50 yr old lady I think 135 would be a good goal for me....happy to network with others like me!

I just started today.....interested in comments and support too...thanks!

today must be the day for starting over....sigh....I'm a teacher and 3 weeks ago I was within 2 pounds of my first benchmark (and finally matching the weight on my driver's license...LOL) but here I am, 3 pounds up and after keeping a true food diary today, I understand just where they came from.....time to get back on…

So many posts to read and catch up on....welcome to all the newcomers....I am happy that good habits I began in the first quarter of this year have pretty much stuck so while I havn't been loyal about logging in my food, I haven't creeped up much in weight...woohoo!! That is good news as my goal has been to lose weight but…

Hi all!! It's a new month and I need to get back on track...Dad is still in the nursing home and will probably be there for another few weeks so crisis time is over. It's time to get back on track and into a new routine. I went shopping for healthy quick meals that we can all take care of independently. My visitation…

msh0530...there was a story on the news today about the 17 day diet...how have you liked it?

Welcome to all our new women!! This is a supportive group and you will fit right in...no matter what day of the month it is! Spring in So Calif is always the same...85 one day and 65 or less the next. DS has a Boy Scout campout in the mtns this weekend and it looks to be wet and rainy....maybe snow on Friday. I'm still…

No worries dear friends....I had some fresh strawberries instead of the frozen yogurt....I'll save that for when PMS hits in about a week.....I usually have just 24 hours when cravings are super strong!

Spent the day at the vet with "well-kitty" checks and in the garden getting ready to plant...woohoo....fresh tomatoes here we come! If any young person is thinking of a career, I would think vet medicine is one way to support a family...in the time I was there (about 1.5 hours), there were at least 6 patients at $200-700…

I'm back!! Thanks for the "shout-out" Lyn....between being soooo busy, but mostly just discouraged, I took a break from posting and logging in. But spring has sprung and I'm feeling renewed....as most of you seem to be as well. It's my Spring Break and there is a very long list of tasks to work on....preping and planting…

Heading out to camp for the weekend....it's raining right now in So Cal but the forecast is for clearing...hoping, hoping.....I've planned meals to suit my goals and will also be walking whenever possible to make up for indulgences. It should be a really fun weekend...dh and I have a teardrop trailer....it is a modern…

So if you make the bars, you don't bake it at all? These look great.....lots of fiber....much cheaper than the store bought....How long will they keep in airtight containers? I would probably freeze some too, just wondering.

Amanda...prayers and good wishes for a speedy recovery! Bad news....I caved into my old ways and because I needed a fast meal on the run, and the commercial enticed me last night, I drove through Mcdonalds and got a Big Mac Meal....sigh....it's been a REALLY long time since I'd had one. Now it's just sitting in my stomach…

Saw another encouraging message that I need to keep repeating in my head...courtesy of Yoda... "Try not. Do or not do. There is no try."

SuzeQ.....I'm interested in your thoughts about the raw vitamins......I have used liquid in the past and liked them but at a tad over $100 month, it is a little steep for me....let me know what you think and where you can find reliable sources.

I was reading a story this afternoon about an inspirational author that had researched and written several books on successful people.....he was asked which of the MANY successful strategies did he find the most valuable... "The most important success principle of all was stated by Thomas Huxley many years ago. He said,…

:tongue: My food diary entry for today..."ate too dang much"....LOL....not too bad...but a bit over on my protein....but it's dh birthday and the t-bone steaks smelled heavenly!!

NYLL54....I don't do cheesecake often....maybe once every couple of years as it is not my family's fav...we are more cobbler and pie folks.....but I do love to cook!

exermom...I haven't used it for cheesecake specifically, but swear by it for so many other baking needs.....I think it would be strong enough for a quick transfer....might want to double it....or there is also cheesecloth......a bit stronger and it sounds like it is supposed to be used for just such a purpose :wink:

Exermom....on the cheesecake problem....lay down some wax or parchment paper before preparing your crust. Then, when finished and cooled, you can just gently lift the whole cake off the bottom of the pan and transfer it to another plate to leave behind.

:flowerforyou: Welcome!! Of course you can join in...this is a very supportive group of ladies and we all have age in common! sigh...I'm with you on the age thing....I truly feel 35 most of the time...but do appreciate the wisdom the years have brought to my life....and the dear friendship we have continued Ladies...if you…

Welcome Bevbeers....I think you will like it "here"...great group of gals!

Thought I would jump right in....3 hours til Mar 1 on the west coast but what the heck! Thinking and praying for "Linda"...I believe that is her name....in Bahrain....we haven't heard from her (I believe) but perhaps internet is unreliable....just have her in my thoughts Back at work and back on track...didn't do too…
