I'm just posting my weight so you know I'm still in this. We had internet problems yesterday which may have been due to the weather and I didn't have time to keep trying it. We got prices on a booster as things don't seem to be improving much, but they are anywhere from $300 to $900.

We had the grandkids until 2P yesterday and then I had to go into work to finish the work for the W-2's. I was in a panic when I went this morning as I still had a lot to do and told my husband I wouldn't be home tonight until it was done, but fortunately, I got it done by early afternoon.

I'll read through the posts and update a little later.

TWEAKIT TUESDAY~~ to remind us that at times we need to TWEAK our menus and foods when we get in a rut and stall. This WOE is ever changing with our ever changing bodies!

Good to see you BARB! Running like crazy as norm for you

Have to update the line for BARB on the totals etc and then get the numbers added to post as well. I will do it tomorrow.
Thought I had my feed coupons for Cookie's feed but I was mistaken so I will be home tomorrow. I have an ACE rewards card VISA that I use for everything and it gives me ACE store coupons.. at least 25-50$ a month so I get the horse feed for free

Jodi is using that as well now and it is a good savings! My Mom had a saying.." if you watch out for the pennies, they grow to be dimes and quarters and then the dollars will take care of themselves!"

Have a great night... OH.... there is the new show about the best diet.. and yes, LC is taking it hands down! So I hear LOL.... I can't get the other stuff.. no streaming or other goodies here....which is fine. Rather watch NCIS

sweet ( sucralose) dreams!

I whooshed 2.2 lbs! Thanks to TOM. So now I am at a new low and I hope to get lower before the cycle starts again.

I don't have time to comment much now. We had over 5 inches of snow last night and we need to snowblow and shovel ourselves out so we can drive to Ed's Dr. appt. this morning. I don't feel happy about driving 45 miles out on bad snowy roads this morning to reach this clinic. But it can not be postponed. I hope we don't get in trouble, or in a crash.

I will log back on later. Have a great day everyone!

Crashed early last night, but when I get little or no sleep, it always seems to catch up with me two days later rather than the very next day.

Jodi: You did great last game! Glad to see you got "right back in the saddle"!

Paulette: Hope you make out okay with your travels and Ed makes out okay at his appointment. PA got hit pretty hard with 2-3 feet of snow. The turnpike south of us was closed for like 13 hours on Saturday and they had to bus people off of it. We were just on the edge of the storm so, although we got several inches, towns about an hour away got 2 feet. Glad you had a whoosh today!

Kathy: Hope you enjoyed the birthday meal with your son and weren't tempted too much. I have a hard time with buffets. Great start to the week.

Cricket: Almost in the 150's again. I DVR that diet comparison show and I think each week the LC has done the best! But again, we all knew that would be the case.

Chrissie: Hope you see a loss today!

Himi: Don't worry about the bounce. You'll still see a loss by week's end.

The tragedies seem to be continuing, but it must be because we have such a large family and we are, unfortunately, aging. Bob's first cousin's son died of a heart attack five miles into a "winter" marathon on Saturday morning. He was 54 and a well known pastor in this area. Another reminder as to why I need to get myself healthier.

I'll check back later.

I am home now. The roads were icky but I have seen worse. Since it is so warm out (30's) the road snow is melting fast and all slushy-like now. It may get into the low 40's by this weekend!!!!! That is FREAKISHLY warm for us this time of year!!! What weird weather patterns!

BARB - I'm glad to see everything is alright with you, except for the loss of yet another one in your family. That is so sad! And he was so young yet! And obviously trying to stay healthy? Running in a marathon! How tragic! I'm glad you had another loss, though.

KATHY - I also hope the buffet was not too tempting for you. We go to the Golden Corral on occasion, and there seems to be a lot of carbs in their food. And it is terribly salty!!!! I stick with the baked fish and baked chicken. I hope your choices were good and you can still show a loss today.

CRICKET - Great loss yesterday!!! You and CHRISSIE are like twins now! Very much the same weight!!!! You are racing neck to neck!

CHRISSIE - I hope you can see a loss today and give the stupid mobile a rest. I was half expecting to see a post from you when I came home as you are normally a morning poster.

HIMI - I'm glad you are not unhappy with your upswing - it was evening out from your late fasting weight yesterday like you said. I hope a big loss comes for you today to off-balance this!

JODI - You had an awesome week last week, and I hope that trend continues for you again!


We have a pork roast in the crock pot now, making the house smell great. I had some leftover chicken casserole for lunch. I think that was the last of it from the freezer. So my projected calories for the day will be 1202, carbs high for me at 20! The reason why they are so high is because I forgot to bring my own cream for the coffee at the clinic this morning!!! I was forced to use the stupid gross powdered stuff!!!! Oh well. I am certain it will not effect my ketosis, but I must test my blood sugars. That powdered creamer makes it shoot up!

I hope the day is going well for all of you!

PAULETTE>>> OH NOT GOING TO HAVE ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN>>NO CRASHES!!!!!!! Please keep that angel sitting on your shoulder to protect you! You and Ed are in my prayers for a good visit and return home safely..and WOW on Miss WHOOSHIE'S VISIT!! bet she is tired from lugging all that water away

BARB.. OH gee.... I am so sorry to hear of your cousins' passing and 54 is way too young. YES, all this going on in this group remionds us of the need to get healthy and stay healthy. We cannot control everything but we sure can do a lot for ourselves! AND you are dopping weight! Good for you.

Up all night with indegestion and constipated to no end. I DO need the regime i had. Will watch the combination though. So back to it for me. DID you know that most deaths in the ICU and hospital in general are in the bathroom due to straining bowels??? It is called the valsalva maneuver..easy to happen and THAT scares the hell out of me.. any of you have a probllem and see little spots? feel light headed? feel odd??? SCARY stuff. SO, I will now take the ducosate sodium and magnesium..

I used to write a column for one of the South Florida community papers that was sent to a but 100 different commmunities and this was one topic that hit home for so many of the seniors there.. you do not have to be over 50 but usually this is when we notice the bowel and GI changes. My ex used to say that getting old is not for weenies!

The swim instructor NING commented on that my body looked better and was changing again! She saw immediately the weight gain on me so this was really great to hear! The scale is not that kind to me and I know it is due to the workouts and my clothes are looking better on again. HECK... Jodi is a lot less in the numbers and biger than me all around! Strange how this is.

News on JAMIE.... she is getting it togther and optomistic and says hse feels better and lost a pound. She now has the base bone bare basics ..she does eat out a few times a week so we chatted about smart choices and she is already there. SHe cared for her diabetic mother so she is ahead of the game in some ways. WHen she thinks she can post daily etc I will invite her to join us. She can use your support early on!

PAULETTIE~~ YEA YOU ARE HOME !!!!!! that angel was sitting there with wings over her eyes!!!!

Hi CRICKY! Thank you! The whoosh Fairy took some water, but a lot of blood, too! Full-force TOM now.

I'm so glad to hear your clothes are fitting better and all your workouts are showing some results. I really wish I could find a water-aerobic class around here. But even if I could find one, I still could not afford it.

The skin under my chin is looking saggy. I have been using L'Oreal Face & Neck cream for months now, but it has not made a diddley-dip of difference. I would rather save my money and get a chin-lift!!!!

Have a good day!

Had to weigh early-- ring was still tight so I know its a temporary jump but I didnt have time to wait it out till mid morning after moving around for awhile/peeling again lol-- I had a breakfast meeting, the place chosen was Panera. So I googled low carb stuff at Panera and thought I had it all figured out-- got there and they no longer offer the item I was planning on so I had to punt. Not a problem-- they have a chicken and kale caesar style salad and I asked for dressing and their parmesan crisps on the side-- went easy on the dressing and skipped the crisps (brought them home and hubby had them in her soup). I checked when I got home and what I had came in under 5 carbs so all good.

Plus like you said Paulette my body is trying to equalize it out from the previous low. You are right Chrissie, if its not this week, it will be next week-- when I get a glimpse of the low, then have a bounce, I dont get too worried as I know I will be back there before too long.

Hooray for the whoosh Paulette!

Cricket your better-fitting clothes tell the REAL story, congrats! your weight loss will catch up with your "remodeling job" sooner than later

Sorry to hear about more loss in the family Barb, but glad you are still losing and even more committed to your health.

Kathy I hope the Golden Corral you went to has more buffet choices than the last one I went to! They had ZERO "naked" meat in their buffet -- it was either breaded or was swimming in sweet sauce/gravy or both! Closest I could get was the taco meat (mixed with who knows what to thicken it), and picking the breading off a fish fillet. I finally focused on salad with hard boiled eggs, sunflower seeds, and cheese dressed with oil and vinegar and called it good. If I go into one again I will skip the buffet and order a steak or chicken breast.
