Wow.. nice place ya got here, Michelle. Looks a lot like the old place, but just... well.... new!:grouphug::tt2:

Terry.. I'd like my hair that short, but not that severe. I'd like little wisps around the hairline. Mine is cut shorter than it was before, but still not short enough for me. She changed the color too and called it winter blonde. It's not blonde enough for me, so we'll be changing that again next time too!

Got all the presents wrapped and/ or bagged for the grandkids and kids to take back home with them on Friday. Just have the ones close by to finish up. I'll be done by Saturday. Can't BELIEVE it!!

Everyone have a good night and a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow!!

Nothing much too add.......Terry baking in bunches is easier for me, than to dig all the needed things out more than one time!

Made some banana bread while everything was out, cuz I had bananas that were either getting tossed or baked!

Have the turkey ready to go. Rick injected the butter sauce into him!! We filled the cavity with onions, and celery and some fruit....I watched them do ig on the food Network, not to eat the things, but to keep everything moist. Thout WTH I was gonna try it!!! All my ingredients for the dressing and side dishes are ready to go....Onions and celery are chopped, so will be nothing but assembly work tomorrow! We are actually thinking of going to the early sale at KMart in the morning. They have some earbuds we would like for the Ipod. Koss buds for $10! We'll see.

OK--now I have posted so will get reminders, and can find my way "home"! Someone better send Pamela an email!!! Thanks for starting us up Michelle sorry you lost your post---that irritates the you know what outta me!!!

See ya later girls!

by the way, the 204.5 was just temporary. It was nice while it lasted. Back to 206.5 today.

I think I will ask santa to get me some new scales. Oh well, I will just enjoy my day today and jump back with the program tomorrow.

Good morning, Violets...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EACH ONE OF YOU!!

TracyK.... step away from those scales!!!! You cannot weigh each day!! Your weight fluctuates every hour. Make it a habit to weigh only once or twice a week. Every day weigh-ins will drive you nuts!!

I'm up and ready to do some house cleaning before we leave for Kris's house. Going to be a fun, family day today!

Everyone enjoy YOUR day. Catch you tonight!!

Happy Thanksgiving all! May PB's not haunt any of us today :grouphug:

I watched Wall-E last night, kind of a sad movie! Watched it while cooking at my mom's. Pregnancy stupid brain hit me pretty bad, I burned both my squash casseroles, the oven beeped and I was distracted and forgot to take them out for 30 more minutes.. dang. Then the chess pie I make just for Russell, I don't know what happened.. mom said I must not have followed the recipe, but I swear I did. I ended up with enough for 2 pies, even though it's a 1 pie recipe.. then it never set :grouphug:

I used a new recipe, all I can think of was that it was a bad recipe I found.

Oh well.. finishing cleaning our house, his family is suppose to be coming in an hour or so, then we go to my granny's.

Of course the things I told Russ he needed to do last night.. vaccuum & take out trash.. NEVER HAPPENED!

Judy, I will do your hair in Alabama short if you want me to!! I will bring my razor and everything!!! If you hate it, you will know not to do it again, and you can tell your person I just got carried away, or I was drunk, I didn't know what I was doing, or.......

Thanks Michelle, it is amazing how much faster this loads!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

happy Thanksgiving everyone

Judy size 10... you go girl... i'm still in my 16's :grouphug: but shooting to buy couple new pr, and going to get 14's

Tracyk- Judy is right.. step away from the scale! unless you are a wack-o like me, I have stepped away from the scale so I've realized i'm happy in a week that i'm not gaining anything back, when i was out of contro and on it every day i was doing much better

So Monday i'll be back on it every day making myself crazy but doing something about it

I am also going back to Water aerobics next week too, now that i'm on hold for te kitchen

I hope everyone enjoys today

I just want to thank you all for being such wonderful friends - i know i have been mia from time to time, but all in all, i would not have been able to even begin to survive without all of you, your support and love

I am so Thankful to have you all in my live

Yumm...the food was so good!

I had already told myself I was not gonna weigh again until next week anyway. No big deal. I have been bouncing around like a ping pong ball with the weight so I would much rather just call it 206 and weigh a week from now and see 206 then instead of a bunch of ups & downs between there...too much of a rollercoaster. When I lost weight before, I could weigh every day with no problem but NOW I can see I can't do that any more. Besides, I am starting to get on Judys nerves.:blush: lol

Hope everyone enjoyed their day. I did :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
