Bump!!!:flowerforyou: It takes so long to read all the posts that I can't reply. Still trying just to keep up. Back soon:heart: Kacke

Yikes! Onto part 3 already...I am also trying to keep up! To eat or not to eat Exercise calories...that IS always the question, isn't it? I agree that if you burn major calories you need to eat some of them to get adequate nutrition...NOT junk, but real, whole foods. But, some days you just need to eat more of them than…

Well..just wrote longest post I have in a while and I did something to make it evaporate:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: Rats! Well...hope you all had a good weekend. I guess I should give up & go to bed. But did want to say, Lucy, I am so sorry about your FIL and I hope you can reschedule your trip! Ronny- where is your Mom?…

Good evening! Meg...oh, I think we can ALL relate to your chip eating experience or we wouldn't be here! I'm not sure anyone ever really knows why they do it...but you limited your binge and you told us about it! That's got to be a good thing, right? Today is a new day! Busy outside day here for me, somI am behind inside!…

Hello Dear Ladies" I'm slowly catching up,with everyone! Welcome, new Ladies! This is THE best place for help and support...and friendship!

Hello, dear Ladies, Glad to hear what everyone's been up to. Beautiful warm & sunny weekend here. I got some nice walks in and today ran a decent part of my walk. Got to get ready for skiing! We drive up to Charlotte in the morning for follow up with DH surgeon. I hope they will give him ok to do some PT. fingers crossed!…

Good Evening, Dear Ladies, I so agree with everyone who stated that as we mature we begin to accept what works for us is the way to go. AND, sadly, that losing weight is MUCH slower, but not impossible, as proven by many here:drinker: There are no absolute rules that work for everyone! We just have to keep moving in the…

Gosh, I love this thread too! Have a nice night ( day...evening) dear a ladies! :heart: Kackie. ( avoided the rum pound cake again today:flowerforyou: )

Hello Dear Ladies! Enjoying reading the posts! So far, my day has been good. I have managed to avoid the Rum Pound cake that my husband has been enjoying all day!

Hello Dear Ladies, Old and New! I have been MIA for most of the last 3 months. It has not been good for me or my weight! I have been exercising but my eating has been very sloppy and the holidays didn't help. DH had to have ANOTHER surgery on his back Dec 20...after lots of consultations and a few MRIs it became clear that…

Hi Dear Ladies! I've been MIA for quite a while for too many reasons to list...of course, it is the last day of November so I will jump on tomorrow! I look forward to catching up with all of you! Take care:heart: :heart: :heart: Kackie

THANK you:-) Sally: Glad to hear you are feeling like yourself...I am slowly too! We finally had a cooler day with a bit of sunshine...just what I needed! I actually ran for 22 minutes in a…

Happy OCTOBER, Dear Ladies! WOW! How did it get here??? I have tried to read and catch up but must say I scanned a lot to catch up. Got back to SC early Monday morning and have been playing catch-up and also just struggling not be a slug! Going from the crisp mountain air to dreary humid-overcast days has left…

Good Morning! Sundance: Yes, we spend July-Sept in MT then come back to ski for Feb-March. We love it! And I always have bear spray when I walk or hike...but I don't usually carry it with me in the house!!!:noway: :noway: However, DH and I will be much more careful about making sure the garage doors are down from now on! I…

Happy Saturday, Dear Ladies!!! Well....BEAR saga continues! He came back onto our neighbors deck yesterday morning and woke them up! (And yes, during his visit the day before he tore open all the kitchen cabinets and pulled out food, dishes, bowls, etc....which broke...relieved himself on their dining room rug and then ran…

Hello Dear Ladies, Just a quick hello from MT. A bear crawled into our neighbors house in the afternoon...they came home to find him still inside and rather freaked out. So, we are now all on "bear Patrol". It's that time of year out here...they want food and a warm place to sleep! Only 8 more days here and then we head…

Hello, All! Still trying to "catch up" with all of you! We are in MT for 2 more weeks and have friends coming out next week, so hoping to be a bit more engaged here. I miss you all! Michelle: Your Pool is AWEsome! How very much fun you will have:-) Barbara: (Auntie BK)...WTG with all the responses to everyone and I still…

Hello Dear Ladies, Have to BRAG a bit about yesterday. I hiked/climbed/crawled up Sphinx Mountain (here in MT) with a group of 5 other ladies all of whom were far younger than me. Most were in their 30s. We covered over 19 miles, gaining about 4,650 feet of elevation gain in about 9 hours. I am feeling very proud…

Happy Friday!!! JB: I LOVEd hearing you talk about your life! You have had quite a "ride" and I love your attitude.

Good Morning, Dear Ladies! I have been MIA for a while and appreciate Barbie's nice note to check in on me. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: It's easy to get tied up with "things" and weeks go by, and think that no one will miss you anyway, so I was glad to get the "where are you?"
