So cute!! We say that about our weatherman here too .. they never get it right, and now they just say it all depends on the wind as to where snow/rain will fall!

@pridesabtch... boy, I could totally understand you having more than just 1 drink last nite ... I think you needed that. After what your mother put you through, I think I would have had several. I am so sorry that she is putting so much burden on you. I think sometimes we, as parents, forget that our children have their…

@PackerFanInGB. I consider you such a good "online" friend also .. gosh.. we have "known" each other for a long time! I still remember when you got into sewing and made that beautiful quilt for @Bex for Casey ... and @Bex -- what is Casey now, 5 or 6 years old! So.. we go a long way back. I look forward to seeing you…

MIA again!! I have to figure out a good time to consistently get on here to post my goals. I am now retired, and like so many, don't get on the computer as much, and I hate doing this on my phone. Today.. I get in not one, but two workouts!! I always go to the gym in the mornings .. well.. its more of a community center…

Word for 2024: Discipline and Determination. Make this year the year that you use the discipline and determination to keep going.. to do what it takes, which is work, to be determined to reach your goal to be in a healthy weight range. Plans for today, Jan 7 1. log ALL food. :) 2. concentrate on water and ice tea. Yes ...…

Word for 2024: Discipline and Determination. Make this year the year that you use the discipline and determination to keep going.. to do what it takes, which is work, to be determined to reach your goal to be in a healthy weight range. Today is day 1 for me. I weighed myself.. oh my.. how could I gain 7 pounds in less than…

I started this thread ... and finally, I can get to posting!! We had a wonderful time with our grandson. He flew in Jan 2, and just left today. We did a LOT of things .. looking at classic cars, a hockey game, a basketball game, driving go karts, going to antique stores (He's a sport collector), and just hanging out. Lots…

I would love to have you all do a brief intro if you want... andI hope to see many joining us this year again. This is such a wonderful thread.. .all positive people, all so encouraging in whatever is going on in your life! So even though in the states here, it is still Dec 31, I won't be able to get on here for a week, so…

Happy New Year fellow JFTs!! I am starting a new thread for the year 2024 .. I wanted to do this, because some of you may already be in the new year!! I may be MIA for the first week.. our grandson is flying in on tuesday to stay with us over his winter break. He is 17!! Yikes .. I hope we can keep him busy so he doesn't…

I;ve been MIA again ... just life. But wanted to hop on here, and wish all of you a very merry christmas. My prayer is for a happy new year, and a great 2024 for everyone. Our Christmas will be very quiet .. just hubby and our daughter. But .. our 17 year old grandson is flying in Jan 2 to spend 5 days with us. We are…

Hugs. I hope you get the lease resolve.. that would be very stressful. And you are so right.. when people just say don't worry... you worry more. Hugs to you .. take good care. We care.

I've been so busy ... why I do this every xmas I don't know... but I get in a sewing frenzy. I do a ton of charity quilts and charity sewing throughout the year, but this year, I stopped around November so I could start my xmas sewing and not be in a rush. Well... I'm in a rush again! A neighbor that I was not planing on…

@cschmitz110515 what lovely pictures, and what a fun game to be at! I (and my grandson) are Chiefs fans though LOL!! Did you get to see Taylor Swift?

Missed over a week again .. ha.. why is it so hard to get back on track, stay on track, and log my food. I always struggle this time of year .. this year.. same thing. So I need to log, get on here everyday, just to keep myself going and accountable. The weight can come back on so easily when I am not mindful. So tomorrow,…

I haven't been on here myself for a few days, and @PackerFanInGB - My heart just sank when I read your news that your cancer was back. I have known you as a good "online" friend for so many years, and I know this was always in the back of your mind. When a person has cancer, that fear never leaves them. But .. I also know…

Havent posted in a few days .. need to make this a priority. Our thanksgiving was nice .. just hubby and our daughter. But .. our daughter actually sat and ate dinner with us.. something she hasn't done for a long time. So that was nice. Had a nice phone call from our son.. first time in months, so it was great to hear his…

Its so easy to fall out of the habit of logging and tracking my food.. and posting here for accountability! But here I am today, with goals to 1. concentrate on water. Yesterday I drank way too much caffeine, and as a result was still awake at 3 am! So ... its water today 2. I'm thirsty .. not hungry. Remember that. I…

Thursday, 11/9 1. log all food :| Tried to log as best as I could .. we went out to eat at a place where they cook your food in front of you. I had terikyi chicken, but they also give you fried rice, noodles and lots of veggies. So other than the fried rice it was healthy, but I was so hungry I ate most of it. But still..…

@clicketykeys - you are doing a great job! I am watching your scale goals go down and down! We are both about the same weight... I just can't seem to stay out of the 200s! Keep it up!

Thursday, 11/9 1. log all food 2. concentrate on water 3. mindful eating Super busy day helping hubby cut wood for new speakers. Then, because it was 84, started putting up outside xmas decorations. Its a big job, but I love it, and it helps my spirits.

Tuesday, 11/7 1. concentrate on logging all food. :| Logged all, 1818 calories. No wonder the scale is not going down. 2. conentrate on water -- at least 6 cups (1 cup down already). I also really struggle with my water intake :| Only drank 2 cups of water today JFT, Wed, 11/8 In looking at my day yesterday .. no wonder…

Aw -- you guys are still here posting! So proud of all of you! I am not going to go back and read all that I've missed.. but I hope that you are all doing well, and staying healthy. I have, like @cschmitz110515 , been MIA for such a long time. About 4 months ago, I was so fed up with myself, so I switched to another…

@Snowflake -- I LOVE the tshirts! You do such beautiful work.. can't believe you made them. And .. you look awesome, as does everyone else in the picture. Fun times for you all! @jennysweet58 --- LOVE THE RECIPES!!! You can flood this thread all you want!! I always want to try new things.. both of these I am going to try!…

Hoping on for a quick hello to you all!! I've been struggling also with logging my food .. why is it that this is so hard to do! I think of it at the end of the day .. and then I'm too tired to do it. So as a result.. the scale is just staying the same. Which I guess is good... but I want it to go down.. not maintain!!…

5 mile walk in today .. started at 7:30. By the time I got home, I was soaking wet because of the heat. But it feels so good to start the day with a nice walk! The rest of the day will be spent in front of my sewing machine :) Hope you all have a great day today. What we do today affects how we will feel tomorrow!

Glad to see you back!!! It is so easy to get off track.. but it helps if hubby is also on board. Since my hubby has a aneurysm.. he also is wanting to lose 10 pounds. Really helps a lot! You can do it .. we both did it before... we know how!! You take good care of yourself .. stress can cause so many health problems.
