Menopausal Mad Hatters - The Seven Letter Word
CHOICES A seven leter word. I thought the start of a new month would be a good time for a new topic... January appeared to be a much more difficult month for many of us than even December and the holidays were... we've all found ourselves making some less than perfect choices in what we eat and how we move... so I thought…

December Hatters: Determined, Dauntless, & Deserving!
Good morning Hatters.. I chose the three words of determined, dauntless and deserving for our December topic, because I truly believe they describe our past, present and the future of the next 30 days. It seems many of us get apprehensive as soon as the word “December” shows up on our calendar.. years of bad habits and old…

Good morning Hatters.. and welcome to November! October totally sucked for me, so I for one am very glad to see a new month.

Welcome to JULY, Hatters!! This is our month to “IGNITE THE LIGHT” inside us, and really step up our efforts to work towards our goals over the next four weeks!

JUNE: THE JACKPOT FOR THE MAD HATTERS!
Good morning Hatters! June is here - and we Hatters can hit the jackpot this month if we set our minds to it!

I'm celebrating seeing a…

Any shift workers (all 3 shifts) with Type 2?
Hi .. I was just wondering if there was anyone else in this group who works all three rotating shifts and is dealing with Type 2?

Good Morning Mad Hatters! I know it’s been pretty quiet in our chatter the past few weeks, I don’t know about the rest of you but time seems to be flying towards Christmas and I’m finding myself going through a myriad of emotions as the days fly by; from panic over whether I’ll get all my shopping done, to happy and sad…
