You are in for a treat - super easy! Can't wait to see pics. Lol.

I called him on it after he made a similar comment. He suggested, a dress that would look flattering. I stood where he couldn't see one of my colleagues and asked him what she was wearing. He wrinkled his nose and said, " how would I know what she's wearing?" I said, exactly! All you care about is that she is here and…

Do you think doing more things to care for yourself would help? For example, my self esteem is slowly rising - so I remembered how soft my skin was and the cream I used to use - I bought it. I am taking vitamins for hair, skin and nails. I have been experimenting with new shampoos. Moreover, I have been trying new foods…

My wardrobe reads like a 'this was your life.' I remember dating so and so when I bought that dress. I gained 30 pounds while dating him. Next size down: oh, I was engaged to so and so and gained 30 pounds. I worked for so and so and he complained I wore one particular dress each week. He told me it was a faux pas. Little…

Impressive! Congratulations.

Have you considered making enchiladas? They are inexpensive to make and many ways to make it healthier: whole wheat tortillas, no fat or low fat cheese Etc.

And keep reading the boards. Many of us are learning to cope better during this time of year.

Good job! I'd like to hear how your day finishes.

I-Fit Passport Road to Haleakala in Maui complete. I only saw the gremlin once. One Hundred Ninety-Six calories burned. The most in over 2 years! Hooray for getting off the couch.

Happy Birthday!

I think you are on to something. I really like steak, for dietary reasons I try to eat it only once a month. Then it becomes an event, something I truly enjoy. I could swap out each month and have something different. Maybe even ribs, if I plan for it.

Agreed!

Ouch! What is a healthy thing you can do to soothe yourself? Music is usually a good pick me up. Is there a favorite song you haven't heard in a while? You Tube it and play it loud!

I now have the Hana Road stamped in my I-Fit Passport

I have a new (to me) treadmill with I-Fit. There is a running video called the Road to Hana (in Maui). My goal is to finish this video/run. It is 35 minutes or more, but I have not been able to get past 15 or 20 minutes. Today, RIGHT NOW, I'm going to finish it. No pause option. No excuses that I have errands to run or…

It was raining today. I splurged on a pair of boots. I did not have to buy the ones with the extended calf. I have plenty of room there.

So, I downloaded an app for my iPhone yesterday: 24/7 Motion X. It is a sleep monitor. I just checked. I woke up almost every hour last night. I had suspected this has been happening. I have been referred for a sleep study, but I have not been able to get an appointment. I thought, it would have gotten much better after…

My dry cleaner gives me back my suit jackets with a cardboard insert. That should work too. She might even sell me a few.

I agree that stress plays a major roll. When one is lacking time, it is difficult to keep an eating plan together. I guess, I am going to say no more often.

Thank you!

That explains a lot! And as my mother would say, "a lot, refers to real estate." Any suggestions, on a quality push up bra? Which sports bras are best? I just bought a treadmill and will be running soon. And socks? I am tired of buying mine at a discount store - only to have them to pill up after the second wash. Yet, I…

After losing all this weight, it was easy to determine if a pair of pants or blouse fit; but a bra? Not so sure. Age and weight loss have caused everything to shift.

I have wondered about restaurants and their calorie count. I love to cook delicious meals at home with a grand presentation: linen, fine china, hand cut crystal ... I guess, I could look for inspiration from French cuisine. What they put on their plate is vastly different than ours. I do like that stacked look. It has been…
