Good Morning Misfits Yay Connie new house and new clothes in your closet!! Marie- did you get the shot? I hope it helps. Janice- any word on your low blood sugar? Shirley- what a fun day all for yourself! That's great. Nancy- still trucking along with starch? We here in the ATL have lots of spring like days coming our way.…

Nancy I realized I still had to track calories or at least pay attention to my portion sizes. Not sure if that helps you but I'm loving it too!

Good morning and happy Super Tuesday! I voted early last week so glad! I'm loving the starch solution but I'm still dealing with near constant headaches. Trying to read up on that to see if the change in food is the cause. We had a beautiful spring day yesterday and spent as much time outside as possible. but cloudy and…

Marie, you tell Jerry to hold his horses while you chat with your misfits :)

Hi Ladies. Wow Connie!!! Way.to.go!! I discovered that black beans give me painful gas but pinto beans not at all. Will be sticking with pintos! It's turned cold here after days of lots of rain. I am ready for warmer weather. I don't like being cold. Off to oversee homework. Will check back later Ruthie

Nancy - today I was out all day so I stopped in to a place and had a black bean patty on whole wheat with lettuce tomatoe cucumber. No condiments. At home I eat the same things everyday...rice beans corn salsa and some sort of green veggie. One problem I've had the last three days is waking with a headache. Yesterday I…

Great loss Marie! I hope we hear from Connie, too! Miss her. Ruthie

Forgot to say that I have been dealing with left knee pain for a few months. It comes and goes no warning and sometimes even gives way. I was interested to see how the hike would affect it. Well, it didn't give out and feels fine tonight. I'm anxious to see how it feels in the am. Maybe another benefit of my new eating…

Ladies! Spent the day hiking with my family. I enjoyed myself. We did have a rain shower I wasn't expecting but it didn't last too long. The scale was down a good bit this morning but I will wait a couple days to report. Those lost lbs always seem to find me. Nancy thanks for giving us your menu. It's going to be very…

Almost forgot Marie I checked at the neighborhood market and their frozen tater tots have 11g of fat! I'll check my 3 other regular stores for you and report back. Ruthie

Marie and Nancy - I too have been eating the starch solution way mostly (I did have some baked fish today) one major thing I just realized today is my hair looks so much better, healthier, softer, and even a bit wavy. It's got to be the food because it's the only thing that has changed. I'm loving it! I agree it's so easy…

Yum!

Hello everyone! Marie- haven't heard from you and hope all is ok. Anxious to hear what the dr said. Shirley, sorry for your loss. I'll be thinking about you. Steph, glad to hear your son is in the mend. Connie, good for you for staying on top of the builders. They are known to do some crazy stuff. I finally got the Starch…

Happy Valentines Day everyone!! Wow Shirley that is cold! I try not to leave the house if it's below 40f! We are expecting ice overnight. Ice is the worst because of power lines and trees. I hope we don't lose power. Everyone stay safe and warm and enjoy a day filled with love. We are all blessed to be warm! Ruthie

Good Morning Ladies. We went sledding with the kiddies yesterday on a man made snow hill. It was a lot of fun and fairly warm. Today we are in an artic tundra! I think the high will only reach 39 today. Yikes. I did my grocery shopping last night so I wouldn't have to get out in it today. Hope everyone has a good Saturday!…

Hello! Everyone is doing so well! I'm intrigued by your plan, Marie. I've requested the book from the library. I've tried to follow it the past 2 days. I enjoy all of the veggies and potatoes. Question Marie, are you hungry? I've been hungry today and I'm not sure what to eat to fill me up. Just curious what you eat for a…

Hi Ladies! Been keeping up with all of you. Congrats Marie! I'm going to check out that plan for myself. It sounds good. Connie, no house yet. There are so few on the market but our realtor feels confident the amount of available homes will begin increasing this week. Fingers crossed. I know you are stressed but just be…

Hi ladies! Checking in and seeing that everyone is marching along. We are searching for a house as our lease will be up soon but we can't find anything! It's such a balancing act. I'm totally stressed and exhausted. I need a divine intervention like Connie received. Stay strong ya'll! Ruthie

good morning ladies. I'm first this morning wow must be the cold. I'm off for a full day of looking at houses. Wish me luck! It will be painfully cold out there (for me anyway ...I like it warm) but it's got to be done. I'll check back later. Ruthie

Good Morning Misfits! Kiddos have the day off from school and we are getting ready to watch the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. service. One year I will be there live but not while I have small children. It looks sunny and pretty outside but the news is telling me that it is bitterly cold and windy. We are house hunting. I…

Thank you Marie! So fun!! Ruthie

I love your decoration Marie! How did you do that? Be back later to chat. Ruthie

Lol Marie! I'm ready to pick my lottery money up too!

I think we have found our mantra for the year (forever?). If not now, when? I tell myself that throughout the day and it helps keep me on track. It is another cold and sunny morning. I'm a little jealous by the snow some of you are getting. Marie, that must have been terrifying to be lost in a big city like that. I always…

Brrr its cold here too. Still below freezing at 10am. I really prefer warmer weather. The sun is shining so a much brighter day than yesterday and for that I am thankful. I'm doing well with eating and some exercise. I'd like to increase my amount of exercise slowly to avoid injury/burn out. Really don't want to leave the…

Hello Hump Day! Kids started back to school today. I sure did enjoy the break. I brought my bike inside and have been riding it. It's a lot harder without the coasting in the neighborhood! Steph, I would be no fun to be around if I ate 1000. I like good food too much I guess. Mexico sounds amazing and a nice tradition to…

The worst is that he was only here for a total of 15 minutes! I won't be having him return. Janice, those are all good things to remember. I'm a bit paranoid as well because my husband travels a lot so I don't like having strangers in or around the house. Connie hope your house troubles resolve quickly. Nancy glad your…

good morning ladies! had a contractor at the house yesterday that asked to use our bathroom. I couldn't believe the disgusting mess he left behind. I live with a house full of men and boys and none of them make that kinda mess. I am still nauseous thinking about the clean-up I had to do. grrrr moving on to happier…

I'm so glad we are staying together!!! I like our little group here, no need for new people. Stranger Danger hehe Ruthie
