6/21/15, Day 2
Good morning, lovelies! I just wasted 20 minutes learning how to rotate pictures on my phone. The result? I'm now lying on my OTHER side, lol lol, lol! Today is a cold and rainy day here in Maine. No father's day stuff planned for us, but I do need to make a birthday cake for Jim. His birthday is Dec. 21, so he gets a…

6/20/15, Day One
Hi gang, I'm starting this thread early so any new members can find the first message of the new challenge. Hi Niki--hope you found us. I've decided to tweak my three goals for the challenge and do exercise every day, food logging every day, and maybe 80 oz. of water every day. I need to save meal planning for after my…

6/19/15
Oooops, didn't start a dated thread today! Not much to say. Busy eating my lean cuisine chicken broccoli Alfredo, a real bargain at 240 calories! Heading into the lake for aquasize in a minute ( yeah, procrastinator extraordinaire today). I sent out a lot of challenge invites, so hopefully we'll have a good group. TEN DAYS…

did you receive an invite?
I tried using the event button for the mini challenge... did anyone receive an invite?

6/18/15, day 10!!!!
Last day of the mini challenge! woot woot! I am officially taking the weekend off before starting the next round. Need to hop on the scale to see if it has moved yet. Sad news day here with shooting in a church in SC. Racism SUCKS. K.

6/17/15, Day 9
Hi gang, Hello sunshine! Looks like a good day to get in the lake, finally. I am still lazy in bed--the flexeril I'm taking for my back just knocks me out for about 12 hours. I hate losing so much of the day! My biggest excitement this week has been getting a new nightgown by mail order that is three sizes smaller than the…

6/14/15, Day 7?
Hello all. I think it's day seven today... lost track of the days after taking several long and much needed naps yesterday, LOL~~Jim has been having trouble sleeping, and his tossing and turning has been waking me up all week, so I just hunkered down and napped and caught up on crazy dreams yesterday. Today I'm up and…
-
6/12/15, day 5
Day 5 already? Wow! I have to say, this has been a really tough challenge for me. I do drink water--never soda--but didn't realize how short I was falling in the amount. And drive thru food--aaarrgghhh! Right now with my back so wanky, the last thing I want to do is go to the supermarket or cook. Food that someone else…

6/11/15, Day 4
Well Nancy, you must be almost done with your day 4, and I'm really impressed with your commitment despite a busy work day and crushing heat! We went from heat on to air conditioner on in 48 hours here, although I'm sure 81 degrees sounds cool to you. When does Ramadan start? Nice break for you, hopefully. I used to teach…
-
6/10/15, Day 3
Hi gang, Woohoo, today is going to be sunny and warm! That means lake time after I take care of the business of the day. Day 3 of water and no drive thru. The hardest part is morning--I've gotten into the terrible habit of getting breakfast on the go, and even though I usually make good choices (like skim milk and stevia…
-
6/9/15, Day 2
Good morning/evening! Looking forward to a day of drinking lots of water again... NOT, lol. And isn't it funny that as soon as I decide no drive thru window food, THAT'S ALL I WANT. Ahhhh... The craziness of the food addict brain. Maybe my next challenge will be the "eat anything" challenge. Take that, reverse psychology!…
-
6/8/15, day one
Wow, I am struggling to get my water in! Didn't realize just how little I've been drinking! How are you all doing today? K.
-
6/6/15
Happy Saturday! Cari, are you still doing low carb/high fat? How's that going? I've really cut back on carbs too and find my body just does better overall. Today I'm a little panicked as yesterday I finally heard from the race coordinator of the swim race I want to do in July, and I have to do a timed qualifier on Tuesday.…
-
6/7/15, happy sunday
Finally moving around today! Just went out for a late breakfast where Jim actually turned down pancakes for the first time ever! On the way home, he says, "I didn't realize it would be so hard to make these choices!" and it occurred to me that while I've been dieting for most of my life, he is now doing it for the first…

6/5/15
Hey gang, I read and replied to some of the threads, and I was just writing to Zac about how good roasted cauliflower and carrots are, when I came up with a new goal for summer. Since my surgery in December, I've pretty much stopped cooking except for special occasions or when Jim pleads with me, LOL. I've really relied on…

Back from no internet land
Yes, my sister is probably the last person in the u.s. without a computer or internet access, lol! I'm back home now after a great month away. Managed to hit my goal of getting into the 300's, YES!!! Looking forward to catching up with everyone. Xxoo K.

April 23
Hi gang, The past week has been just crazy. Sorry I've missed out on any of the doings on here, although it seems like only Cari and Nancy have been checking in. Must be spring fever everywhere. I'm guessing Diana is running all over Maine with her kiddos (school vacation week), Norah is... married??? Next weekend? This…

April 17, almost
Yeah, I post-dated today. The sun is setting here in Maine, so I'm going by "Nancy Time" for this thread. Sorry to have been so quite/fly-by poster this week. I've been incredibly busy trying to attack some long-neglected business (successfully!), including three years of back taxes. My big awesome news for the week? Not…

April 12
Hey gang, happy Sunday! Here in Maine, spring is finally sprung. Temps up to 60 today, hurrah, so the ice on the lake is melting and the giant snow banks in the yard are disappearing. My big plan for the day is to do some crafting with the girls next door (ages 3 and 7) and their mom. They're making fairy gardens, so today…

April 10
Hey gang, I'm up late so I thought I'd start a thread with tomorrow's date as a present to Nancy. :) Today was a crazy emotional day, par for the course on this roller coaster ride week. I drove to Cambridge (yes, I pahked my cah in Hahvahd Yahd) to pick up a mobility scooter from a lovely woman whose husband only used it…

April 6
Hi Gang, I'm signed up for Cari's 13 week challenge and am pretty excited. I like the idea of making small, consistent changes each week. And I'm going to make a huge effort to focus on ONE thing at a time, instead of doing my usual laundry list and then not keeping up. Yesterday was a long day of driving--over 5 hours…
-
April 2
Hey gang, I'm finally on my laptop, not my phone, so I can write a real post. The last few days here have been pretty busy. I've got less than a month to get everything cleaned and organized before I leave for my long trip south. Can't wait to spend time with my sister!!! I didn't get to make this visit last year, and we…

Fling into Spring
Hey gang, I'm starting a four week challenge in MOBO MOTO, our challenge group for the morbidly obese. Basically, the challenge is to list goals for weight loss, nutrition, and fitness and to do your best to meet those goals from now until the first day of spring in about four weeks. If you'd like to join MOBO MOTO, I've…

March 19
What??? How can it be almost spring??? Balmy 6 degrees when I woke up this morning. What are we, Diana? 25 degrees below normal? Today I need to face the scale. So much easier not to weigh in and pretend I'm on track. I Don't have any good excuses either, dammit! So what are you all up to? For our next challenge, we need…

March 14
Hi gang, hope everyone is well tonight. Nancy, I received your package today!!! And I love, love, love medjool dates. The house now smells like amazing spices. Jim likes them so much, I'm going to rub a little Morrocan blend behind each ear before we go to bed hahaha. Thank you so much! K.
