Good Morning friends, Way to go Janice! So happy you are nearing the end and doing well. And Marie, hoping the same for you and your foot. Connie!!!!!! Way to go

Hi friends! Just completed a long weekend at a soccer tournament. We had an 8am game Sat. and I still haven't fully recovered from waking at 5 am and all the driving (not to mention the heat!) Youth sports have become so competitive with kids specializing very early. Both of mine still play many sports and are therefor not…

Hi Friends:-) It's been a good and busy start to the new school year. Soccer is in full swing, baseball started yesterday. I like to keep my boys busy combined with down time for all of us. Went for a long walk this morning and came home completely drenched. It's definitely not a dry heat. Jumped in the neighborhood pool…

Hi Ladies! Back to school here as well as sports, etc. Marie, hope your heel is healing well. Janice, thinking about you, Nancy, your cruise sounds wonderful! I've been one time and really enjoyed it! Shirley, very nice picture! Connie, hows the grand baby coming along? Esther, the countdown!!very happy 4 u! Steph, busy…

Happy Weekend!! Marie... Thinking about you! Hope you can break out soon. I've been at a conference all day and froze. It's 90 outside and probably 60 inside. I'm done and headed home in a few minutes. An interesting tid bit I've learned this week...my son had soccer practice every night this week for 2 hours...during…

Janice <3 thinking about you today. Steph hope everything stabilizes. Connie, new menu is what I need for sure. I'm still hovering around my new low but can't seem to get far away from it. We've only had 3 days this summer below 90 and it is getting old. We have had a couple of days recently with lots of rain which has…

Jeez Janice, that sounds like a very stressful day. I'm glad it got worked out before the end of the day. Marie, hope you are recovering well. Nancy, Shirley, Connie - good morning! In addition to my regular exercise yesterday, my little guy wanted to go bike riding looking for Pokeman Go items. It was fun and additional…

Thanks for the pep talk, Connue. I'm right there with you...the scale disappoints me and then I have a strong desire to head to the kitchen. This group and your support keeps me from throwing in that towel! I wonder why some of us turn to food but others don't? Have you read anything about that? I'd be interested to know.…

I'm here, Connie. Just frustrated with the scale. Bumming me out!! It's hot here this week (really since May) and as much as I love summer, I wouldn't mind some 80s. Hope everyone else is doing well and keeping at it. IF NOT NOW, When? (Yelling at myself and the scale:-() Ruthie

Both went through Shirley! And thanks for the Marie update. Great news Janice! Much relief I'm sure. Connie... Congrats on the grand baby! New house new baby is the old saying. Only this time Grandparents have the new house:-) Hot here. Tubing tomorrow with my babies and some friends...hoping to cool off. Ruthie

Marie and Janice...you are both in my thoughts and prayers and hoping for good things for you both. Connie... The evil scale and I are not friends right now but I won't give up. If not now...when? Esther- I've had knee pain off and on which is exercised induced. It is a pain and makes it hard to sleep. I can only imagine…

Thanks everyone! Marie...your meals look good. Nancy and Shirley...I'm envious of your boating. Connie...the toe color was a little shocking but it grew on me and I received lots of compliments. I just had them changed today to hot pink:-) Janice...thinking about you. I hope everyone has a wonderful fourth. We have some…

Ladies! I did it!!!! See pic below. I need to get far away from the 90s though because I know it could very quickly tic up and over again. Here's hoping the 80s go by quicker than the snails pace of the 90s. We spent yesterday at a 7 hour swim meet at Georgia Tech. I'm totally exhausted even though I wasn't the one…

Good Morning lovely Ladies. I'm holding steady trying to break through to the 180s. It will deserve a picture when it happens! Happy summer ya'll!! Ruthie

Wahooooo Connie!!! Oh happy day!! BTW I like your nail polish. Ruthie

One day at a time, Janice. Much love coming your way. Ruthie

Thinking of you today, Janice. Ruthie

Lots of love and support Janice. Please stay with us if you can. Ruthie

Good Morning! I've been so busy with swim team and soccer for the kiddos. Heading to a low country boil (shrimp) later today at friends' house. Hoping the thunderstorms stay away. My mouth is already watering. Hope everyone is doing really well!! Ruthie

Happy Monday! A new week so if not now, when? I had typed up a nice long post and lost it:-( Congrats on the house, Connie! How close are you to the ocean? To recap, we had spectacular weather all weekend (after some rain early Sat) and I took advantage by spending a lot of time outside. It was windy, low humidity and just…

Good Morning! The scale is down another .8. That puts me just over 2lbs away from the 180s. Janice, I wish my 190s would fly off. It has been soooo slow. I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. Maybe time for a second opinion/new doc? There was a lady in our moms group who had a similar run of events. Her dr. Kept having…

Congrats Marie and Connie on your losses and persistence! It's another cloudy day in GA with rain expected for the rest of today and tomorrow am. I gained a pound at the beach week. That is a huge improvement over the usual 4 or 5 lb vacation gain I usually have. I've gotten rid of that rxtra pound along with an extra .4…

Hi Ladies! Ray- welcome back. Marie - loving your meal pictures. Connie, Shirley, Nancy, Steph, Janice, Esther: good morning! Ruthie

Good morning ladies.catching up while in the waiting room for my annual gyn. We returned from the beach last night so I'll weigh in a day or two. I tried to enjoy but not over indulge. I think I did ok. Plus lots of physical activity playing in the ocean with my boys. It was cold water and rough waves at times but we had…

Hi ! Quick check in as we are in Florida at the beach. Just needed a change of scenery. I like the beach best in the fall. Summer is way too hot. The weather now is perfect but the ocean and pool are cold. It's so hard to not overeat while here. So many good restaurants and bakeries. I'm tracking and really trying to be on…

I just returned from an ultrasound. Everything turned out well. Yay!! What a relief. @janiceclark08 hoping the same for your remaining tests. I really tried not to worry (I'm a worrier) by telling myself if something is there worrying about it won't change that. I did ok with that. How's the housing market Connie? Around…

@janiceclark08 what a relief!!! I'm having a scan tomorrow and am hoping for equally great results.

Good morning ladies!! The scale bounced around a lot last week but in the end registered a .4 loss. I'll take it. It still amazes me how much hard work it takes to lose a little and how easy it is to gain. We've had some good rain the past few days. It looks like it might rain this morning but I haven't seen the forecast.…
