Oh no! That is a tough one! Sending thoughts and adding prayers...

I LOVE MY GRAZE BOXES and look forward to receiving them every two weeks! Yes, the portions are small...but I'm on a diet, right? I don't need to be eating a whole big lot of anything! Pricey? NO! $6 for a box = $1.50 per pundett...and I know each one is of high quality and is healthy! I wish I could get a box every week -…

Joane - it definitely is! SO let me add a couple things to mine... 1. I want to wear my wedding ring again. It is a size 5...and was tight when I got married. I can now get it past my knuckle, but not much further. 2. I also want to weigh less than my husband. I never have...not since we met. ~Marsha

I think we all suffer from at least one or two of these! Its how most of us got here...you know? I cannot imagine losing my husband...and I know I would have handled it in exactly the same way! I am so glad you have found someone new, someone who supports you in such a wonderful and positive way. I am already aware that I…

Those little chocolate candy bars are calling my name...:devil: But I know if I eat just one, I will start binging on so much more. :grumble: And then I will feel really badly. :sick: SO...another stone in the jar...to remind me to stay strong. :embarassed: Today is a run day - I can't wait to go to get away from the…

Pretty amazing and something to watch whenever you need a moment of peace... I wanted to share the following: http://www.lifebuzz.com/just-stop/?utm_source=iajsiaspal9920&utm_medium=fb&utm_campaign=juststopios It is a list of the 30 things to STOP doing. I think we all could benefit from this list. Some of the things that…

Sue, housework makes me ache, too! I guess its all the twisting and turning, fitting into tight spaces, reaching and lifting...I don't know. Folding laundry really bothers my back sometimes...like right around the shoulder blades. I love the musche aches I get from a good workout - I hurt where I'm supposed to hurt and I…

I've never thought to do that, but it is a great idea! Typically I only eat out at places where I can look at the menu online and figure the calories out before I get there. I went to Mimi's restaurant for lunch once without doing that, but fortunately they posted calories for everything right there on the menu. What an…

What an awesome idea! Since I have been struggling with emotional eating lately, especially when I'm at work, I think joining you is something that I really need to do! Unfortunately, cash is not something that I carry around with me much of the time (mostly in an effort to stay away from the snacks that are readily…

Aqua Zumba is LOADS of FUN! I hope you get to try it soon!

I love to read, too! I just have no more room for books, which is why my Kindle is irreplaceable! Of course, with school, I have no time to read for pleasure anymore...its all for homework, homework, homework...blah, blah, blah! :grumble: (LOL!)

Sue - your photographs are incredible! Is your profile picture of a grandchild? because it is absolutely magical and brings a smile to my face whenever I see it! :smile: Cynner - I know that soon you will have checked those NSV's off your bucket list...can't wait to see you add some more! (I have to google the John Muir…

I'm a slow runner. But I'm doing it anyway! :wink:

And won't it be wonderful! :flowerforyou:

I want to run a marathon. But first: I want to run, not walk, a 5K - the entire 5K. THEN: I want to run a 10K. THEN: I want to run the entire 8 miles around Salem Lake. THEN: I want to run a half marathon. AND IF I can do all that, THEN i will tackle the marathon. Hopefully before I reach my 60th birthday! Have I mentioned…

Wow! Sue - what a horrible thing to go through! BUT you are a true survivor. You made it through! That's the thing about life - it always works out...somehow. It may not be how we want it to be, but we make it through anyway. I, too, am an emotional eater. I simply didn't realize how much I depended on food for comfort…

I try to keep up with the following exercise schedule: Monday and Wednesday - Zumba class and Les Mills Body Pump class at the Y Tuesday - I have school so no exercise :frown: Thursday - C25K training. I like to do this at the local park, but on bad weather days, I will do it on the track at the Y Friday - No exercise.…

Dinners are always planned out for the week before I go to the grocery store, and they are written on a white board on my fridge so that everyone knows what's for dinner each day. That way, when I am at the gym or at school, my husband can prepare dinner...if he wants. :wink: Of course, the boys will still ask, "Mom,…

My biggest struggle is chocolate. Once I have one little piece, I can't stop. :ohwell: At home, its easy. I just don't have any. But at work, we have a little snack area in the lab, where people can come and purchase snacks. And it is always stocked with chocolate. And when I get bored, its all I can think about. :frown:…

Hello everyone! My name is Marsha and I am 55 years old. I have been married to my best friend for over 26 years. I have 3 sons, all in their twenties, but all still living at home. They all have awesome girlfriends, though, so I'm hoping that they grow some wings soon...LOL! We share three dogs...Belle is officially mine.…

You are doing GREAT! Just keep doing what you're doing...just think about where you will be a year from today...at 1.5 pounds per week. That is awesome and incredible! I know exactly how you feel. My husband has always been smaller than I am. And when my weight got to a point where I realized he was no longer as attracted…

You are both so darn adorable! (Your baby too, of course!) My advice is this: Don't say "I can donate this kidney if I lose the weight." Say this, "I WILL DONATE THIS KIDNEY WHEN I LOSE THE WEIGHT!" DETERMINATION works better, and lasts much longer, than motivation. By convincing yourself that you will be successful, YOU…

I mix up some olive oil and the spices that I desire (i.e., Old Bay, Chef Prodhomme's salmon seasoning, coarsely ground salt and pepper). I heat up the grill pan that sits on my stove, or the outside grill on nice days. I "paint" the salmon on all sides with the olive oil/seasoning mixture and throw it on the hot grill,…

Look what can be accomplished, one day at a time! I love your story! Thank you for being such an incredible inspiration. You are AMAZING! :heart:

83 is on the low side... I keep frozen yogurt bars in the freezer...80 calories of pure satisfaction. That seems to do the trick for me.
-
Yep! Exactly! I started logging again yesterday... We got this! Let's do it!
-
Well, you know I already think you're awesome! I just wanted to say that your beautiful smile never changes!

I understand that you don't want to count calories, but by not doing so, how do you know how much you are actually eating? I had a friend who constantly claimed she wasn't losing weight because she didn't eat enough...until I told her to count her calories. Turns out, she was eating far more than she thought she was.…

Congratulations, Sue! Enjoy the pool and the new mobility you have gained through your hard work and persistence! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :flowerforyou: My journey has been a struggle lately, but I am feeling renewed and ready to get back down to business. :wink:
