My father was diagnosed in 2010, but we knew he was sick a couple years earlier. We lost his sister in September, 2012 - the day of her funeral was the last day dad drove a vehicle. He passed in March, 2015 and spent the last 6 months of his life in a nursing home as care for him at home was impossible (and it did not help…

now I'm thinking about fried chicken!!!

I do work out. I run, I lift some weights and I do a boot camp class. I was super disciplined to lose 30 pounds and somewhere between 30 and 40, I just can't seem to get it back. the way I lost doesn't work any more....I need to find what "clicks" with my body and get over this pity party I'm having. I'm usually a super…

I am ready to give up entirely. Having a cruddy day, cruddy week, and cannot seem to find my control again

Anything by Taylor Swift :)

suggestion - don't look at is as starting over, look at it as acknolwedging you slipped and getting back on track. Starting over kind of suggests to my mind that you stopped. You didn't stop, you just got a wee bit sidetracked and are focused again. Good luck to you!

I started at 197, now weigh 167. My original goal was 150 and then I would re-evaluate. My goal now is not a weight, it is a way that I picture my body - a way my clothes fit, and a way I feel. I have finally gotten over the idea of reaching a goal weight.

Without trying to sound rude I am going to tell you the same thing I tell my brother and best friend - WHEN you have a stroke or heart attack, what is your employer going to do? Simple - they will kick you aside for the next person that will work that much. Make time for yourself, you are worth it

I have made myself tolerate my coffee black as a general rule. But while on a trip this weekend I indulged in a cup with a pack of Stevia, some half & half, and a few dashes of nutmeg....yummy

What a beautiful baby!!! I would name him Bleu :)

Subway egg white flatbread with spinach and tomato

I mix in a few blueberries - sometimes just a little brown sugar! Trying to do better as well

Sorry your vacay wasn't all that you hoped it would be. And yes, there is always someone around to derail good intentions. Hang in there, you are good!

You, lady, are a rock star!!!

I have a beagle mix. He has beagle coloring, beagle nose and beagle appetite....not sure what the rest of him consists of. He's a joy!

Great job!! I, too, have gotten rid of most of my 14s, finished that up today....not entirely comfy in my 12s, although they look fine on me....it's just an image thing.

You look absolutely amazing!!!!

My husband thinks a Subway tuna sandwich is healthy because it's tuna....he forgets how much mayo there is. Granted, it's better than a Big Mac....

amazing is an understatement!!!

I think we all have very realistic goals for the month, and we can all accomplish!! My pedometer died, so I had to think of a way to convert the miles I wanted to accomplish into minutes. I usually walk a 16 minute mile (my version of running is about 12-13 minutes). So, instead of 75 miles, I need 1200 minutes of…

First....Alabama in 1982 Last....Crosby, Stills & Nash at the Ryman last week....

I never have cared for cucumber slices, but never really knew what a sea monkey tastes like...guess I know now :) I bought a 64 oz mug at my local Speedway and drink at least one every day at work. I get my exercise from going to the potty a thousand times

I am sitting here now drinking my carrot, celery, spinach, chia seed and pineapple smoothie :)

to those eating smoothies...throw a handful of kale or baby spinach in the blender, I SWEAR you won't taste it much and you get the added veggie benefit

I eat McCann's Irish Oatmeal often for breakfast. Maybe throw in a handful of blueberries or just a small amount of peanut butter or brown sugar....keeps me satisfied until lunch

euthenasia......if you get a female jury.... (and yes, for the record, I am kidding)......kinda

I guess I am a snob too - tha'ts okay :)

May 1 I quit for the month as a challenge. I kept on going in June and July - however, I admit that while on vacation I drank three diet soft drinks. I now drink a lot of water, and the occasional iced tea. Overall, it's been good - knowing that when I eat popcorn, I will have to have a Diet Rite

I need to increase my walking/running, so my goal is to get in 75 miles this month. Looking forward to seeing what others want to accomplish

good luck with it - let us know how it goes!
