Hello all. I have just spend most of the day reading old post and current ones. Learning about each of you. I did sb along time ago with great response. I was wondering if yall mind if I join your group? I do miss in reading everyones post the meals you have. I like to see what you eat to keep ideas handy. Everyone is doing a good job in losing. I can't post everyday though. I don't get on computer everyday. But will post when I can. I would like seeing your menus again daily.

Happy Monday ladies. It was such a nice week end wish it wasn't over. But now a new week. My sister is supposed to come down today. She lives about 3 hours away and I don't get to see her much. I'm going to make some extra stuff I don't usually make. This morning for breakfast I'm having ooatmeal and OJ.

Lady- Its so good to have you join us. Theres a great bunch of ladies here. With lots of support. Ask any questions and just jump right in. Tell us about you.

Ellen- Wow you're going to town with the green tomatoes. It would seem you could freeze those. Moroccan chicken sounds wonderful. Have a good day today.

Will check back later.

Good morning ladies Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy. We kept the baby Sat night and bless his heart he got up at his regular time 7:15 but he didn't know we turned the clocks back so it was 6:18. So I was up and at it all day long w/o my extra hours sleept. Put the tree up in the basement and went to a florist Christmas show and then to Target and then they left and I started cleaning and had to do it all by myself so it took all evening and at 7:30 went and got pizza and finally sat down at 8:45. I had to get in the hot tub to rest by back, legs and feet. I really wanted to sleep in this morning. I cleaned out all my stuff n the house this weekend and wills tart putting Chritmas stuff up some each night.

on't know about you ladies, but I hate this time. Plus it will be so cold and I hate snow and cold.

Crystle, I loved your emoticons. I hope your garden survied the cold as it is warming up here this week. I hope your friend can walk with you it makes it more fun.

Toni, you are doing so good on the Keep up the good work. The applesauce works well. Enjoy your visit with your sister.

Ellen, that is a lot of green tomatoes and peppers! I can't help as I don't like tomatoes. I have had fried green tomatoes and they were good with a dipping sauce but then they are a no-no. i love the peppers. How about a pepper jam with the habanaros, it would be good for the holidays.

Firefighter, I remember you, welcome back. I hope you can stay with us when you can post. This is a great group.

Mercee, hope you had a good weekend. Post when you can.

Good morning ladies. Welcome Ladyfirefighter! Looking forward to your post when you can.

Luckily I actually ate breakfast this morning so I can share..
I had half a cup of Greek style yogurt with a teaspoon of honey and a tangerine.

I did the four mile walk video before breakfast and am hoping to do something later but I usually get busy doing nothing. I did end up losing two pounds not one last week so I am a happy camper. SO close to being out of the 170's. It is a mental thing. I just need to get under that mark.

Ellen..I am so glad we don't live close. I believe I would invite myself over often and enjoy sampling all your goodies. But it sure would be fun. At least we could walk it off. Did you get your walk in this morning?

Toni...hope you and your sister have a total blast while she is visiting.

Solly...I am worn out just reading about your day. The garden is still alive but it really isn't growing any. I hope this week will encourage some growth since it will be in the upper 70's.

Mercee...Hope you are having a super day.

(((Everybody)))

Love and hugs,
Crystle

Good morning ladies,

I have been pretty busy all morning. Really watching what I am eating, so far so good. The scale was down but I am not counting anything this week. I am sure it is water.

BF: WW egg omlet- Yummy, coffee
Smack- Gree yogurt with blueberries, blackberris and strawberries - my normal snack.
lunch- 1 cup Campbell's veggie soup with some cheddar cheese and wheatables (16) and pineapple.
Dinner will be chicken pot pie. I normally use ww crust but did not get to whole foods to get some.

Ellen, glad you got your suit. I heard on Dr Oz tht Saffrom is great for cancer, isn't that is Indian food? Rosemary for arthritis.

Crystle, moving counts no matter what you do. Keep up the good work.

Got to run to type a letter, will check back later.

Good morning. My sis and niece left last night. It was a nice visit. I didn't eat right and my body is sick of it. It wants back on good food. I did make a pot of really yummy beans yesterday and I think I'll have those leftover tonight. Not sure whats for breakfast yet.

Solly- I'm loving seeing what everyone is eating. I need ideas.

Ellen- Guess that new bathing suit will give you insentive to lose a little more. Bet you look fine in it. I haven't had a suit in years.

Crystle- Your squash sounds so good. I love squash.

Mercee-Hope you're fine.
