When will this cold winter weather end? I'm not doing well on the exercise lately. I want to get out and walk but I'm too wussie to go out in the cold. I should dig out the WII. Congrats to all who are moving and losing. Jacque

I am a old grandma now. My kids are grown and have children of their own. Watching my children parent tells me I did a fairly good job. They monitor the amount of sugars and fats their children are allowed to have. I remember all the protesting I got from my kids growing up when they wanted cereals when sugar was one of…

I love black beans. I also like mexican food. I make my own refried beans using black beans instead of pinto. Saute chopped onions until clear in a little olive oil. While sauting drain beans reserving the liquid and rinse. When onions reach tranparency stage mix in minced garlic and any other seasonings (ie chile powder,…

Thank you 55....I'll look back. :smile: Jacque

Okay ready to start the New Year. I began on the 10th of January last year and have been doing pretty good. But I need to focus again. I must be a slow learner, I keep thinking I can do this alone...wrong!. So I've been reading past posts....I'm confused. Is my 'puter acting up? What does " an class="strong">5an> lbs."…

Okay, new month, new commitment. Let's do it! Jacque

Hi there, I'm back. Been out of touch for a month or more. Lost my focus and feeling sluggish. I thought I could stay for accountable to myself without logging in my food or reading up on the community. Boy was I wrong. I need that outside influence. We are leaving for our kids' house for Thanksgiving after the storms have…

Here's to another month! :drinker: I have family coming in this week. My daughter and family arrived Monday and have now moved over to her in-laws for the rest of the week. :ohwell: But our oldest son is coming in hopefully tomorrow night, late. :happy: My weight loss has slowed down a lot, but I think that's because I'm…

Phylliss, Happy Birthday tomorrow. I know how you feel about that baby girl. My baby turned 29 this past April and everytime I have to leave her or she leaves here, I feel sad. I read this list daily to keep in touch with all here. I gather inspiration from all. Long week this week here....hubby had knee replacement…

okay back in the swing of things afters being gone for a couple of weeks. Didn't stay on track as well as I wanted but only seemed to have gained back half a pound. Today is a new day and a new challenge. Looking forward to the weekly challenge too. Welcome back, Phyllis. Congrats to all who are losing....I'll be there…

What a great attitude! You're sure to win this battle. What an inspiration. Jacque

I hear you! I am 5'6" and currently at 128. I'm just about where I'd like to be, I think. But I hear that too and really feel uncomfortable because I don't know what to say back. So what if I want to lose another 3 lbs and be 125. I may get there and decide for myself I'm too thin. If anyone has a good response other than…

Krinio.....this is the place to get motivated. We'll be there to help push. Heck, ya, you'll have that Pandora bead in no time. Good luck. Jacque

WOW! great job Barty! 40 lbs. You are so motivated. We're all proud of you. Bru, good job on your weigh. Love the new ticker. Amanda, just finished my first week back to water aerobics. I am taking a class. Not fortunate enough to have my own pool. I'm not sure I want the upkeep it takes. But having one right there all the…

Jenn, glad to see you're still around. I was missing you. I think of you everytime I work on my "angel wings". LOL They are getting better, believe it or not. Phyllis, where are you? Are you still stateside in Idaho? Missing your fun stories and encouragement. My goal this week is to take up water aerobics again. It's so…

Bru, congrats to you on the weight loss so far. Way to go. Traci, how fun to go on a cruise. I'm rooting for you that hubby will agree. Someday....maybe....I'll put that on my bucket list. LOL Congrats to all on your dedication to make you a better you for all of us. Jacque

I enjoy the tips and helps from Terri, so this time I have a few I picked up at my Mom's dr. last week. Some are similiat to Terri's but I thought I'd share anyway. It's not food if it arrived through the window of your car. Eat only foods that will eventually rot. Avoid food products that contain more than 5 indredients.…

Good morning all, Congrats Barty! That's great. Positively Me.....I'm rooting for you!. Hope you see ONEderland soon. SilverRoxy....You go! Is it me, or does anyone else out there have a tendency to eat/snack more when around certain people? I tend to do that around my mom. What's up with that? I think I'm still trying to…

Tralalara Good luck on the family visit. Sounds like a lot of fun. Keep focused on what goes in and exercise. Volunteer to push your mom in her wheelchair. You'll both enjoy it. Check in when you get a chance. Jacque

Back home again after traveling to see the kids. I did okay while gone, didn't lose but didn't gain either. Maintained, which as you all know, is hard while out at other's homes. Randi, glad to see another Idahoan here. I'm in Boise, Idaho. I've never been to Twin Lakes. I bet it's beautiful up there. Celebrating my 39th…

Okay, been away from this board for awhile. I've been down to CA for a couple weeks visiting fam. , back home for 3 days, now just arrived in MT. to visit more fam. You all know what that does to diets. I have been trying to be good. Anyway here are recent stats from when I could weigh in. 5/12 131.6 5/14 131.8 6/11 131 My…

Count me in again. Hope I do better this month than last month probably ended. Since being away from home, I have not weighed in for near 2 weeks. Yikes! :ohwell:

Good morning all.....I'm slowly progressing...which way, I'm not sure. Here are my stats: 4/30 133.2 5/14 131.6 5/21 131.8 So I gained .2 lb. That's okay, I can live with that. On the bright side, I lost 1/2" off my hips and 1" off my waist. Went shopping for pants and seem to be 'tween sizes. I was very lax this last week…

Hi all...Keep on truckin" all. Everyday is a new day with new challenges. Set your goal each day to stay true to the new you and not falter. I'll keep you all in my prayers. I finally gave the C25K a try today. Wow! I'm not a runner so that really shook my bod. Holy cow, :noway: Hubby and I are getting ready to go south to…

Good day all, Been reading the logs. It sounds like we've all be pretty busy with life getting in the way. I guess that's the way it goes. I did not do well with exercise this last week either but did try to stay within my caloric intake. I'm going through a terrible case of dry/cotton mouth. Don't know what's going on…

Jenn so sorry about your weekend. I feel badly about your relationship. IMHO, your SO is not mature enough to understand how to nuture a loving relationship. However, that does not excuse his poor behavior. His behavior was very poor. He is still in the "I centered" stage. Hopefully before he really screws things up he'll…

Good morning all...Congrats on the weight loss to all. As for me I was up .6 lb this morning. Had an interesting week. Did more exercise, ate more calories. In fact, much of the time I felt satisfied but still had calories to consume. :noway: I also "took" back some fun foods such as pizza and chocolate but I did count…

Morning all, Well this "anti-gym" lady joined a gym. Hubby is looking forward to a knee replacement in Aug. and his doc wanted him to start physical therapy way before surgery then send him to rehab. for a couple of weeks, and then back to more physical therapy. So we chose a gym near by that had a physical theraphy bus.…

Good day all, glad to see the new thread. Happy Anniversary RJ. Enjoy the game. Hope your weather is warmer than ours. Its cold here in Idaho. I'm in for another month. I'm within 3 lbs of my goal weight. Then I go on the sustaining point. Not sure how that is going to work but I'll need support more than ever then. I'm…
