Congratulations! Truly amazing 🌟

I'm positively gonna do that!!! LOL

Being a 53yo, 5'5", I love your stats!! All online content has the same flame throwers :-)

I was there....it was bad.

I'm glad you're here. I hate the in-fighting. I dislike the "regretful" posts, but I try to remember that not everyone's health or experience is the same as mine. I hope and pray that their situations change and that it turns around for them. Anyway, glad you're back and hope that you stick around with input, positivity, and success.

Drink lots of water, get fresh air and ride it out. Best of luck 🙂

Hey Newme17... nice to see you 🙂
I have had a rough year with skin surgery. Kept to the plan though and feeling good now.

How did I not ever follow you before? .....smh. Following now!

LOL.. Oh boy...Welcome back! I have decided to stay away from most of those threads...when I read them, it's like I get physically sick to my stomach now. No joke! Hope you are well hon.

I was in several groups on Facebook that I dropped out of due to the same. Still pretty new around here, but I was hoping to avoid that drama...

Congratulations 👍

Nah :-) There is one person who is just generally snide, and I'm tired of engaging with her, even indirectly. Until I blocked her, I had only blocked one other person in all of the time I have been on here.

I tried all sorts. MoM, benefibre, prune juice and on and on. The only thing that worked for me was ducolax. Still take it every now and again if I don't go for a few days.

WOW! Congratulations. You look fantastic!

I do have a list of approved items. I have had to go back to mostly liquids because my stomach is cramping horribly when trying anything. I did buy some buffalo chicken dip that is prepackaged, but has great stats. I will continue trying things each day, but maybe my stomach is just not ready for pureeds yet. I am definitely making sure I am getting my protein with the shakes as I venture out to new foods.

My heart goes out to your friend and her children. I'm just appalled at the self-centeredness someone has to do that awful deed. Yes, he must have been hurting and broken, and my compassion for them is while they're living; there will always be help and hope. Take your own life, I have none. I'll be praying for comfort and peace for his family and friends. I'm sorry you have to face this...and more sorry for the children. Smh. Breaks my heart.

Kate, I am very sorry. I can't imagine dealing with something like that. He must have been in some real pain. I'll be thinking about you.

Three months? Holy hell

Fingers crossed

It's beautiful today! The mountains are Georgia's with their snow caps

I used to live in Calgary and will be back there in August. I loved it there !

Three months? Holy hell

I try to keep little protein snacks at a grab for those days that just aren't normal like string cheese and nuts, I have small containers with measured out cottage cheese I keep some water bottles in the fridge for a grab and go because my water I pick up at the Artesian well and it is in a water cooler I keep plastic forks and spoons for on the o eating if I need and I always have left overs I keep in measured out small containers as well so I can grab and go I have doctors appts that take an hour to drive to so I need to do this or I could end up stopping somewhere not healthy to eat although that is rarely a problem for me because since my surgery I have not had much of an appetite but if I don't do this I will forget to eat and there is not enough time in the day to get all my protein in. Stress will do some weird things to you too as I have found out relax and breath like you said and prepare and you will be fine

Its the best one I have seen.. I can't stand the full fat one so have the 0% one.

I will. They're growing like weeds.
