Zoe...can you see my face turning red? It's not from hanging upside down either, I meant an inversion table! Chalk that up to mindless posting when I know I should be starting my little project.

Bobbi, that's why I love you so dearly!!!! You made me giggle out loud!
Hugs, Z |
Good Afternoon girls,
It's warm again today, sun is shining. It does make you feel better. I had to bake a cake this morning to take to work for PCT day. And I didn't take even a taste. I do hope it turned out all right. It's made with almost all low fat/calorie things and everyone always requests it. Lynn, I hope you and your friend enjoyed the movie. You are an inspiration. Karen3, plateau's are annoying. Just know that it will pass. All you can do is just continue what you're doing and know that it will end. Z, I remember watching Barney and thinking it was the dumbest thing ever. Then I watched Tella Tubbies...changed my mind. But the kids love it. and yes, you know you are a grandma when you catch yourself humming a childrens TV jingle. Like :I love you, you love me...... Bobbi, I am doing well, but I think writting my daily calories will help more. You think twice about eating something when you have to write it down! I've seen the inversion tables on TV. How do they feel? Rosie, Beautiful family! I know you are having fun. Isabella, I actually like the lower rise jeans. Not super low, but just below the natural waist line. It kind of acts as a girdle. I hate anything tight around my waist. Good for you for taking your weights back with you. I love my weights! TaxiGirl, I hate all you can eat buffets too. I know I am going to over do when i see one of them. I think I have to try everything! Donna, I usually buy the big bags of chips/junk and portion them out into individual baggies. I just didn't do it for awhile. Stress will get you! At least I caught myself before I got too bad. I'm doing well. I'm in my size 8's now and they are loose. But I want to wear the 6-4's before summer is over. I'll get there! Freda |
Hello all,
Whew ~ I finally got caught up (was bound and determined to do so) with reading all the June posts so far. I've enjoyed reading about what you all are up to. Who ever mentioned the idea of a get together ~ that sounds neat. A few years back some of the ladies on the 100 lb club group talked about doing that and actually did it. Afterwards they wrote about it and posted pictures. I think they had a wonderful time that they will treasure forever. I hadn't read or posted in a while. I think I am ashamed of myself ~ just kind of floundering ~ my inclination is to whine ~ but didn't want to do that here. My lack of progress is all my own fault. Some days are better than others ~ need to work on having more of the good ones :) My grandson introduced me to Youtube and I have been having so much fun with that ~ reliving the music I enjoyed growing up. Confession here ~ I found this one video of Ringo Starr singing a song and at one particular moment in time during that video he was just so cute to me :o Too much fun though as I lose track of time and then realize I have lost hours clicking from one thing to another and another. I had a thought though how I could turn this into a good thing. You can take the songs you like and build a playlist ~ so thought I would do this and can enjoy listening to them while I use the treadmill :D Off to run some errands ~ will have to do the personals later. Take care |
I started a 'Daily Menu' thread under the 50+ threads, check it out if you think it will help you stay OP.

Knock, knock.... just peeking in for a minute to say that I'm back as moderator here. As many of you know, I went through a very difficult time, but I'm much, much better. If there is anything I can do for you, please just let me know. :)

Thank you Bobbi for starting the menu thread ~ maybe I can learn something from you ladies and get some ideas for menus to try.

Welcome Back Jane!!

Welcome back Jane - I'm afraid I didn't realize that there was anything amiss, but I'm glad to hear that whatever it was has been handled, and you're back with us again.
Freda, I forgot to include you on my list of "inspirational people". :?: Sorry, because you are one of them, of course! Normally, I've got to tell you that I tend more towards sneering unpleasantly at small, slim people, but somehow knowing how hard you (and the others) have worked to get there makes it less annoying. :hug: Well, another day, another...um...dollar? I don't know about that today. I stopped at the grocery store on my way home from work last night, and my debit card was declined for a $12 purchase! I stopped at the bank (which was closed) and tried using the ATM, only to have it tell me that it "couldn't process my request"! :?: I drove home like a maniac (well, FEELING like one, anyway) thinking about all sorts of possible (unpleasant) scenarios...had someone gotten ahold of my banking info & cleaned out my account? Had a recent check that I'd written for $525 been processed as $5,250? Was there a HOLD on my account for some unknown reason? :eek: So, anyway, I went online as soon as I got home and checked my account balances, and they were exactly as they should have been - no sign of any problem. So, DH looked at my card (sometimes his software engineering know-how comes in handy, y'know) and he said that the metallic strip had a "chip" or something in it, so the card was unreadable. Oh, goody. Now I have to make a trip to the bank at lunchtime today. Ack. I'm not sure I can do the daily menu postings, Bobbi. It's a GREAT idea, and I actually was doing it with Fitday for awhile, but then I'd forget, and go a few days without posting, and end up feeling just as guilty as if I'd eaten something I shouldn't have, only I hadn't....I'd just forgotten to post! STILL felt guilty though, and for me, those kinds of feelings lead to frustration, which, you guessed it...leads to eating something I shouldn't eat. Sooooo, I have to make things as easy as I can for myself by not setting myself up into any kind of strict requirement that I'm likely to not meet. Now, for some people, it has the opposite effect, and keeps them on the straight and narrow, so as I said, it's a great idea! :D Karen3, loose clothes are just as gratifying, in my book, as losing a pound or two. Sounds like you're doing something right - keep up the good work! Hiya, PT - I don't know if I could throw stuff out like that to prevent myself from eating it. Makes sense, of course...it really does.....but I'm afraid I'd be crying hysterically if I had to put something I really, really like down the garbage disposal or something. I might try to dive in after it! :o But, looks like it's working for you, m'dear, as I see that those pounds are just steadily melting away. Hmmm...I think YOU'RE starting to inspire me, as well! :D Gotta love us GGs, eh? Okay, must run...love and good wishes to all, and have a mahhhhvelous day! :grouphug: Z |
Good Morning....1st day of sun in 15 days and I have a ton of laundry to do and get out on clothes lines so I won't tarry long.
Hi Jane and welcome back, you can put our new menu thread up in the sticky area please. I didn't know you were having a difficult time, sorry to hear that. Gwen...welcome back to you too, I know how busy everyone can get so pop in whenever you can. I 'gotta git goin'.......I'm burning sun. Quote:

Please remember, we all go through ups and downs. It is always difficult to post when we are in a "down" phase. Of course, that is when we need this thread the most. Whining is fine. Everyone here understands. Glad to see your post. Lynn |
Good Morning Everyone,
Humid and rainy here. I have just about finished the stuff I cooked/baked on Saturday - time to shop for more. Comedy (City Island) was a GOOD choice. My DF got some laughs - was good to hear that. Tonight, I must take my cats to my DD's. Tomorrow, fire alarm sirens are to be tested here in my condo - the horrible noise scares the cats (probably hurts their ears). So, they will stay at the B&B tonight & tomorrow. Only 2 more lbs to go and I will be able to relax for a couple of days. Lynn |
Morning all....Welcome back Jane. And Freda thanks alot this is now the 2nd day I've been humming I love you You love me...we all love the familllllllllllllllly! Bobbie have seen those tables on tv and would love to try one. Have vision of not being able to get back up right. Rosey wow on the 6 lbs even with company that is a big accomplishment and gets not only a hug but multi back pats. Zoe how scary to race home....had that a few months ago when Sweetbay's system was hacked and our bank changed all the cards and forgot to send me a new one.....hummed for sure. Gayle...come here to whine cause then you stay and get back ontrack. Boy do I know that as a fact because that's what GG just did for me.
We went out with another couple to a buffet dinner last night and I did okay. Not perfect but really okay. Had hugh salad with chick peas and 1 babyback rib, vegies and a wee sweet potato. Dessert I took a slice of carrot cake, tsp of bread pudding and a lemon tart and had one tiny spoonful of each. Been so long sice had that much sweet my teeth ached. So feel I was successful until DH(diabetic dh) ate what I left! Then he says this morning how come he's not losing weight????? We are going to a BBQ for Father's Day. Am supposed to bring a peach cobbler. Am going make it with Splenda and bet no one notices. May do a blueberry pond cake too. Guess may be am missing my cooking marathons. Dh is still chuckling over using frozen berries so they don't pop. Some how in his man mind that is outrageous. Feel like i gave up a state secret.... Well off to bridge....hugs karen3 |
Good Morning, All....
First, my dear, dear PT, at 150#, you ARE one of those small, slim people! And I see those of you heading toward sizes 4-6: I think I was bigger than that when I was BORN! My idea of total success is a size 16! How's my TurtleBoy? Bobbi, I'll be interested to read your menu thread. I wanted to do that when I first started here and, in fact, did start a thread... but there was no interest or response at that time. So this will be good to see. I tend to eat the same ol' stuff... And I loved that you used the word "tarry"... I think you might be my new hero! PT, I'm trying to come up with some news... life is pretty boring (um, serene). Oh, and this just shakes me to my core!, I'm applying for early social security benefits tomorrow. It's going to be a pittance, because I worked in the public sector all those years, but it's better than nothing... and it might not be there soon. I absolutely cannot believe I'm old enough to do this! Rosey, good job, still and continuing! Karens, Freda, everyone, lovely to hear from you. Enjoy the day... Be safe! |
