That's okay Lori, we'll take care of the sarcasm, you just watch our backs for that short term memory thing! :happy:

Happy Friday All! It has been a pretty good week with the exception of that lack of energy we've discussed. I got out of my funk yesterday though and despite the overnight snow I've continued to improve. I, too, did not step on the scale this morning! Sing and Stiring, I find it interesting your conversation regarding…

Cheryl, Oh Wise One, I'm sure you are right... and it was probably me asking about it!! :blushing: I'm with Marla on this though, I have no short term memory left either!

Morning All! I, too, have been struggling with my energy levels.. I'm thinking it all has to do with the nice start to March with the spring-like weather only to end up with a bit of snow forecasted now. I'm so ready for nicer weather! Sherdou, I believe we have a friend here who's in SA, she's out of town right now though…

Be strong my friends.. you can do it!! :smile: Speaking of tight pants, I'm amazed at the difference in my pants when I've had a little sugar vs just overeating. There must be a correlation between belly fat and sugar. Happy Tuesday!

Good Morning All! Love the words of encouragement from everyone, thank you, thank you!! :flowerforyou: Doing okay, weather has been rainy so I'm back on the elliptical, but it's not so bad when I have a good book! It's great seeing the new faces, stick with us, this is a great group of people! Good to see you back Becky!!…

Morning! I'm all for chucking the scales... same boat... it's is stuck! I measure next week so we'll see if I've lost more inches, shoot, I'd be happy with 1/2 inches!:happy: It's been a good week, I've been able to get out and run and went to another Zumba class, those are great! Welcome to the newcomers... great group..…

Great to see you Lori! Used your Pizza dough recipe, it was fabulous! Thanks! I put it in my stand mixer and it worked well! :smile:

I know we've talked about shoes before, but I will say again... I love my Mizuno's!! Good luck finding a pair you like, it's not an inexpensive hobby looking for running shoes!!:tongue:

Way to go Cheryl!!! Hang tough, you can do it!!:flowerforyou:

Same here Marla!! Your profile pic looks nice, your face looks skinnier, here's hoping that translates to the rest of you! :drinker: Fight the good fight!!:smile:

Enjoy your trip Sing... you might need a vacation from your vacation after all those red-eye's!! Be safe! Duffy... my husband has foot problems (achilles heel/plantar fasciitis) he has been taking a Glucosamine supplement with his anti-inflammatory and says it has worked amazingly well... just a thought! Welcome to you…

Morning! Stiring... thank you for the kind and encouraging words, I truly appreciate them!! :smile: Congratulations on the run too, that is incredible!!:drinker: TxMs... It is nice to hear about your children, I wonder about mine sometime and hope they are as close as yours seem to have become someday. I keep telling them…

Morning All! MK... I grew up about 30 minutes South of Wichita... everyone I know went to Bon Jovi! No longer in KS, but it is still home! Hope you had a great time! Hang in there Sunny... listen to Stiring, she gives the best advice on here!! Welcome TC... keep coming back, this is a great group! Way to go Julia... you…

You're the best Cheryl! Thanks for the info on the curdling, I was all set to run right back out and get it for my coffee! I'll have to search for the soy creamer, any particular brand you would recommend?? I'm willing to try that Almond milk though, need to hit the stores for a low sugar cereal to go with it, amazes me…

Oh Zebra... how frightening for you all. I hope he is feeling better soon.

Cheryl, you must be able to read my mind... I came here specifically to ask about Almond Milk! :laugh: Just saw it at the grocery store and it looks pretty good actually! I've been missing cereal and all the reviews I've read have sung praises for Almond milk, more specifically the unsweetened vanilla almond milk! Now I…

Thanks for the input on sweeteners everyone! I'll have to give the Stevia a try! :smile: Marla I'm in the same boat with the muffin top around my middle! :ohwell: I've been pretty good about sugar since January in hopes of getting rid of that, only a handful of slip ups. I am still struggling with the flab. I've given up…

Happy Tuesday All!!:smile: Feeling good this morning, sunny, 50's and I got to go for my first run of Spring! :happy: It felt great to be outside in the sunshine! Have a lovely day!:flowerforyou:

Thank you Dear Sing for keeping us up and running!!:happy: Didn't get a chance to check in on Friday, so I'm here, late, but still checking in :blushing: I must admit though it isn't anything worth checking in about... still stuck in the weight dept. lost a bit more in inches. Changed up my work out routine last week and…

What are your thoughts on Splenda (I'm afraid I already know, but am curious)? :ohwell: I can give up the real stuff, but I'm replacing it with Splenda (coffee creamer, in my oatmeal, the little packets I put into my water). Cheryl, you've posted sugar alternatives, honey, agave, and such so is it in my best interest to…

Very Happy Anniversary to you Sing, be safe and have a lovely time!! :smile: Just watched the recap of the figure skating last night, very moving indeed! Very well deserved! Love the Olympics and all the personal journeys behind the athletes! Great job on the weight loss Zebras and I'm happy to hear Stiring that you are…

I'm not sure, but I'm happy to see her...:wink:

Good Morning All! :smile: Filet Mignon, definitely!! I'm going with the Cabernet! :drinker: Have a lovely time Sing! Thank you to you all for always posting, I don't have much to post, but I love reading yours!!:laugh:

Hi All! A few days late checking in, but better late than never I suppose! :smile: The weight has stopped coming off, but the inches haven't and so I'm going to press on. :ohwell: Love reading about all the positives happening for you, keep them coming you all are inspirational! :happy: Stiring... I'm not a huge runner, I…

Cheryl.. I'm sorry to see you go, but I understand your decision. Thank you for always being there with advice and tips for helping us lead sugar-free lives. My best to you! :flowerforyou: Tammy

Stiring, Alf... thanks so much for the insightful thoughts, they make total sense.. I'm going to check out those websites! I appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question! :smile: Didn't do very well this last week:ohwell:, work outs were right on track even burned more calories with the snow shoveling, but then…

How is this for messed up:ohwell: ... most of you probably are aware that Easter is right around the corner, therefore, Lent is in 2 days.. therefore we (as a family) have decided to give up desserts as part of our Lenten thing (I've been doing the sugar thing since January with a few glitches so I'm not too worried)... it…

Lori we love banana bread, if it's not too much to ask, please post your recipe!!! Cheryl - you make me laugh, you too Viviakay... Can't wait to see the jewelry pictures! Sugar is not my Valentine!!! Tammy

Friday Check In = 1 more pound lost, woo hoo :happy: Eating okay, fell off the sugar wagon and had some desserts a couple of times this week. Although I'm in Ohio, like you Sing and all the East Coasters, I've been shoveling too and secretly loving it as it means I get a few more calories added to my goal!! Here's a…
