Nice day and got my walk in on my treadmill. Ate cereal and a banana and of course green tea for breakfast. Some almonds for a snack. A small salmon steak and brown rice for lunch and green tea, and dinner will be my favorite taco salad made out of ground turkey. So the day is going just right. Having some wine with DH before dinner.

Ellen- Your post made me tired just reading it. Thats wonderful about all those casseroles you made at the church. I can't imagine what a job that was. You should sleep good tonight.


Hows everyone doing.

Hi ladies, my grandson is sleeping sothought I would jump on here. I tiik him to the park today and he played and then we fed the ducks. They were so tame, they were sitting on my shoes. There about 60 of them just where we were feeding them. They just followed us around. He had a good time and was so tired.

Eating has been good all week but no loss. There went my goal. Guess I enjoyed my wine too much. We have a wedding on sat and a confirmation on Sunday. Got to get my cleaning done sometime. Should be doing it now but too lazy.

Toni, one pound is awesome. You are doing so good especially with the treadmill. Hope you like your perm.

Ellen, hope your art lesson went well. That was a lot of chicken to fix. But at least you have it all frozen now.

Got2 walks in yesterday, and some at the park. May try to do the 1 mile walk tomorrow at the susan Komen walk. Have a great weekend everyone.

Well I didn't have a good eating week end. We ate at our local hamburger stand here on Friday. Plus I had to much wine this week end so not looking forward to the scale this week. I knew better. Back to the treadmill and eating good.

Solly- I'll bet your Grandson loved the park. Sounds like you're getting some good walking in. Hope you had a good week end. I have a wedding to go to next Sat. with a fish fry afterwards. Ugh....

Hope everyone else had a great week end.

Oh my gosh I'm so sick about it but I've gained 3 lbs. I can't believe in a week how I can pack it on. I know I was having to much wine and not watching my food as close as I should. It was just poor choices. Hope I can fix it this week. Of course I've got a wedding and a big cookout to go to. GRRRRR...... I'm pleased I have been walking on my treadmill anyway. So guess this is not the end of the world but just life.

Ellen- I drink a half of a lemon in a cup of water warmed every morning. I put a packet of truvia in it and it makes a nice like lemonade drink. Hope you enjoy your wedding too.

Its raining here today. Makes for a cozy day. Hope you all have a good morning....

Wow I weighed again and it said I stayed the same. Think I'll weigh again tomorrow and see what it saids.

Good afternoon ladies. My grandson is sleeping so trying to get a few things done. Having my knee surgery tomorrow so maybe I can get on tomorrow afternooon while I'm sitting in the chair. I think I hav emy disability with the insurance finalized. She called me today and is mailing me a $36.00 check for the difference when I was on short term. She is still figuring the rest so I should have all my money since April to now by the end of the month I hope. I need to get back on track.

I spent $400 at the grocery yesterday and didn't think Ibought that much. Dh did get a bunch of vitamins so that was probably $100 of it. But boy have the prices gone up. Drives me crazy,

Ellen, enjoy your trip to Chicago and wedding,

Toni, wine is hard isn't it. I have the same problem. Try limiting yourself to2 glasses that way you are not depriving yourself of it totally. Try to make good choices at your fish fry. Maybe no fries, just be conscience of what you are eating and eat small portions and you will be fine. I am down 4 lbs since Monday, how that happened I don't know, Had to go buy a bigger pair of jeans yesterday. Made me so mad. Plus I got my Dr's notes from my visit and he refers to me as obese, That made for nice reading and really made me feel lousy.

Off to get some some stuff while I can. Talk to you all soon.

hi everyone... im looking to join a stable group/posting... the ones all over 3fc can be so daunting to pick just one to follow... so this sugar busters group sounds like a good plan to me. im looking to lose 100lbs and a big part of it will be cutting out sugar all together from my home... which will be a hard task for me im a huge potato chip whor* lmao and i always have cookies and cake stuff in my home for birthdays .... but its all going... any suggestions or helpful hints or anything for me!

solly- i know the feeling my doctor says obese too and its like cant you just say large or something ugh

hI LADIES, surgery went fine other than waiting in the dr for 2 hours. so frustrating just laying there in tha bed. Getting around on crutches. my BBF is bringing lunch and will spend the day with me. Supposed to go the Huber's (pumpkin orchard, winery food, etc) tomorrow with whle family (20 of us). so I will just go and ride in the wheelchair the whole time. Sounds pretty good to me.

Ellen hope Chicago is still warm and nice for your wedding. Have fun.

Candice I am a potato chip whore too. Just love them. But you can do it and all the holiday treats you just have to decide if you are worth it. Love yourself first. You can do this. I lost 105 lbs the first time I did this and then had breast cancer, put some on took it off, you know how that goes. Still working to get that part off.

Toni, how are you today? A lot of dr books say allow 6 days on a diet and one for a binge. You could do your wine then.

Got to run. lunch is here. Have a good weekend/

Well my week end killed my diet. LOL.... Seeing my Grandsons and all the family was great. So was the lovely wedding. We ran so much and ate badley. But today is back to reality day. Have eaten good and walked on my treadmill so far today. The weather is cooling down this week.

Solly- Hope you're doing good. And that you've had a good time at the Orchard.

Hope everyone had a great week end too.

Hi ladies. The board is a little slow right now. Going after lunch to hve the titches taken out of my knee. I walked around on it too much this morning I think. Sitting with an ice pack right now. Went to see my nuerosurgeon this morning. We decided to schedule my back surgery for the Monday after Thanksgiving. That way I can get all my decorating and shopping done and use December to recuperate. I have Christmas dinner at my house but I figure the girls can do what needs to be done. Everyone brings something anyway.

Toni, glad you had such a nice visit with your grandchildren and DIL. Just get back on track and you will be fine. I am going to reread the 17 day diet book and either do that or WW.

Ellen, hope your wedding went well and you are home safely.

Crystle, where are you girl.

Mercee, guess you are keeping on exercising,

Candice, come on back.

Off to eat lunch. Having taco salad for dinner. Have a great day

I have been up to my elbows in alligators. I do not have time to read and catch up this morning but I did want to at least say howdy.

Lost two pounds this week. Only 4 ounces away from the 100 mark.

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Crystle, real alligators or is that a saying? Glad to hear from you at least.

Toni, did you make a turkey meatloaf? My family didn't like it.

Ellen, back in town yet

We are getting a Trader Joes this week. I can remember when I started SB and the only place you could find ww bread was trader Joes. Can't wait to go and see what they have. Anyone have any suggestions on great things there let me know.

I have bunco tonight. Glad to get out and visit with my girlfriends. A friend will drive me. Knee seems to be more sore this time. I start therapy next Tuesday.

I didn't weigh today. Not feeling it. Have a great day
