So happy to hear that there will be a "next" challenge. Thank you lemurcat12.

Back home from our camping outing. It was nice to visit with friends and I’m happy to say that I managed to order grilled/baked meats and green veggies and salads while eating out. I also managed to refrain from mindless munching and snitching bites of favorite fried stuff from my husband’s plate. He offered to order…

Lost 2 pounds this past week. :) Marcella

Love this!!! Weights are good!

One of my biggest challenges is eating out.

I'm Marcella. I've been about the same weight all year. But, as summer winds down, I would like to just throw it into high gear and reach my goal weight by year end. I lost about 30 pounds last year and have recently reset my MFP numbers to reflect where I am now. Current weight: 163.5 Challenge goal weight: 139 Ultimate…

Buzz - Happy to hear your legs are better. :) Patsy - I keep hoping that I will wake up and this whole presidential thing will have been a bad dream brought on by something I shouldn't have eaten. :'( Lin - Loved the pictures. The gentlemen's ashes in the wall is a bit creepy. :o Sandy - Beautiful family. <3 Well, errands…

Okay, now I MUST go buy a new puzzle! I love putting puzzles together. I can no longer just sit here while everyone else is having all the fun. Buzz - Glad to hear that the hubby is enjoying his new chair. Shirley - Happy to hear you're safely home from your slightly rolling ride. Wishing everyone a wonderful day! Marcella

Okay, from now on, I'll drink that first cup of coffee before posting! :D

The camping, hiking... got moved to next weekend. Spent this weekend, grilling and hanging with family. Very relaxing. B)

Awesome news and happy shopping! :D I haven't lost weight during this challenge, but haven't really gained either. The things that have been complications through the summer (sleep loss, stress, surgery, recovery) are all better. I've also enjoyed cookouts during the Labor Day Weekend and still maintained the same weight.…

Lin - Well, that's an "earth shattering" way to start your day!!! :o Glad to hear nothing was broken or otherwise damaged -- especially, you! Hope the rest of your day is a little less exciting. :# Marcella

Sandy - Love the puzzle. It looks like a fun one to put together. My most memorable puzzle was one that was just the face of a black cat with yellow eyes. About 1000 pieces and almost all of them black. That took a while! …and congrats on the bingo winnings. Marie - Happy to hear that you are healing well and doing so much…

Lost 1.4 this week. Marcella

Camping, hiking, hanging with friends

Good morning, ladies. I returned home from the Orlando ladies retreat late Sunday evening. What a blessed time. The speakers were wonderful and inspiring. Yesterday was spent catching up on stuff (including some rest) and organizing for the week. Jeri - Love your picture! It's so beautiful. Marcella

Much to do today. Some cleaning, errands, office work and packing for the weekend! Tomorrow morning, I look forward to driving down to Lake City, Florida to spend the night with my brother and sister-n-law (about a 5 hour drive) and then Friday morning another 3 hours on down to Orlando, Florida for a weekend ladies…
