You are all doing great, and the fact that you're all still here shows your dedication! Connie, you are definitely right, the warmer weather coming definitely makes me happy I've started back at this again. :D I was hoping to get some landscaping done with my time out from school, but apparently we're expecting rain every…

Esther, technically it's not really a Farmer's Market, but that's what the grocery store calls itself. :) It's themed, I guess. It's still great though! We have a Farmer's Market in town where I live, but it's only for a few hours early on Saturday mornings. We made it to the tail end of it a coupe weeks ago, and managed…

Happy Thursday! So happy to see some losses, Connie and Marie! Measuring pays off, for sure! I ordered a new food scale from Amazon this morning, so I'm excited for that to arrive. It's supposed to be very precise weighing, it is a food/jewelry scale. I found out my current food scale is malfunctioning and weighing heavy…

Hello, ladies! I'm here for what seems like my quarterly check-in! ;) As of Monday I'm back to calorie counting. I had set a weight in my head that was not "acceptable" to cross (155 lbs.), and last week I was starting to feel bleh, so I decided to climb on the calorie-counting wagon again. I weighed myself that day, and I…

Stephanie, I will be testing used electronics, mainly phones, to see what their issues seem to be, and then grading them to be sent to the team that repairs/refurbishes them for resale. I'm really, really, really hoping they reschedule my first day at work, I'm afraid I'll lose my job because of ice and snow. The weather…

Nancy, I'm sorry to see you all are dealing with a rough situation. I hope everything goes well and you all are able to keep comfortable and positive, and see good results. Hi, Marie! I'm glad you're still enjoying your plant based diet. I really need to get on board with dedication like yours. I'm such a snacker. Connie,…

@janiceclark08 We moved to Taylorsville, we're about 12 minutes from Shelbyville. And it looks like we're in for atleast 4 inches of snow over night! We really love our house, and looking forward to starting a garden this year. Veggies galore, hopefully! :smiley: I hope your sister is able to get her much needed therapy…

Brrr, freezing my buns off here. Haha. I got to go out and "enjoy" the roads this morning, they were actually really clean, it was nice. On my way home I had to drive through poor visibility with heavy wind a big snowflakes. Luckily the snow seems to be melting at home though. Ever since I wrecked on black ice several…

Connie, your house is going to be gorgeous! I'm so happy to see you all still here! I'll try to peek in when I can, I miss you all! -Rachel

Thank you for the comments on our house, everyone. :) Barbie, this will be the first time we've had the luxury of more than 2-3 days to move. Luckily we won't have to worry about that again for several years now. Esther, the time will definitely fly! I'll be out of school for most of the first week of September, and the…

Hello, everyone! Just popping in for a minute. I'm sorry I'm so absent! I'd like to get back on track with stopping in every day after the end of this quarter of school. I have finals at the end of the month and the first week of September, so hopefully after that I'll get on a good schedule again. Esther, I'm so sorry for…

Hello, ladies! I miss you all! I haven't read everything but skimmed the last two pages a little. @Eninad CONGRATULATIONS!!! Marie, Lean Cuisines are pretty tasty, and they have some good meat-free options. I've had a few Smart One's meals lately too that were good, also meat-free. I hope everyone is doing well! Staying…

@slw19 Did you know we moved? Come join us!!

Hello, everyone! I've been able to get pages 2-3 read over so I'm catching up a little. Marie, your kittens are so cute! They look older than my kitties, it's so hard to tell kitten's ages. I know it's incredibly rare for tortoise shell cats to be male, but I'm not sure about calico. And sometimes it can take a little…

Hi, everybody! I've been gone for around a week, I think. I know I've missed so much! I hope everyone is doing well. :) Food is hit or miss for me this week, and I've changed my workout routine. On Monday I started classic P90X again, my goal is to do 30 days, assess my results, and then do it in increments of 30 days…

Marie, I'm so happy to hear you have two baby boys now too!! Please post pictures! How old are they? It's good that you got a pair of them, they'll keep each other company and will get a lot of the play time they need with each other. :) Your taco bowl sounds delicious, I want one! Connie, we are now in the "silent period"…

Oh hello new home! Thank you everyone who complimented my kittens. <3 I'm glad you all liked seeing them, they're so stinkin' cute! :D I figured out tonight they are Maine Coon cats. They're going to be gorgeous all grown up. And yes, we're keeping them. If they weren't with me, pieces of my heart would be missing. I love…

You're awesome results tell me I need to change things up a bit. I'm 5' 8", and 137 lbs. I think I'm what some might describe as "skinny fat". I need to get toned like you! Amazing job!!

Popchips and Special K cracker chips.

Our little house. :) (hopefully)

Baby Susu.

Baby Frodo.

Our tomatoes and potatoes are growing nicely. :)

Janice, I love the big hill in your snowy picture! Your dogs look so happy and healthy. :) And your daughter works too long and hard to have to be the only one in the relationship doing it. Becky, you've taken great care of those swings! Esther, I'm glad things turned out the way they did for your "other daughter". I hope…

You all have been super busy! And I love, love, love all the pictures! Becky, your new pond and yard setup is so beautiful! And I need one of those swings for my back yard! :D Janice, that's a good idea putting your tomato plants on the side like that. Does it not cause extra moisture around your foundation? We're going to…

Marie, I missed you all too! I would be so happy to hear you getting a kitty. There are so many cats in desperate need of loving homes. I hope you can convince your husband to get one. :) We don't have a move in date set just yet, but I think mid to late September is probably pretty likely. And even then we'll have at…

I've lost 47 lbs. and have gone beyond my original goal weight. The lowest I should probably go ultimately is another 7 lbs. (which would put me at 130). There are many, many days where I feel like I'm as big as I ever was. It really is crazy. Some days I feel thin and confident and realize I look better than I ever have,…

Hi, everyone! Sorry I've been very absent again. Unfortunately I doubt I'll be able to catch up on all the posts. I hope everyone is doing well and feeling good! I have tiny furry babies crawling and climbing all over and around me while I type this. I have to set the laptop on the coffee table to type, because the babies…

Well today, as suspected, I found a 0.9 lb. gain. I wasn't surprised. I intend on still doing my no count weekends, I just need to remain strict throughout the weekdays. A friend of ours came over on Wednesday and we ended up going to a burger place, and cookies followed. Not good so close to weigh day! I think I'll weigh…

Barbie, my cat Honey is the same way! She begs to go outside, only to re-find out that it's still hot or still raining, and then she wants back in. Then two minutes later she's forgotten and wants to go back out again. Our house inspection went pretty well, there are a few minor things to fix, and a few things that need to…
