    Lots of snow here in Illinois. I am ready for Spring for real. How is the weather in your neck of the woods? The sun will come out tomorrow ( I hope )

    Hi AteamNana! Glad to hear you are feeling better. We have been expecting the snow..but so far nothing has started yet. Will probably wake up to it tomorrow. How many inches did you get and is it still coming down? We are not excited about it.....so wanting spring!

    Please pray for me and my mom and sister today. We are flying from Raleigh to Philadelphia, then taking a connecting flight to Bangor, Maine. Our first flight is delayed. Please pray that we can get the second flight in time. Traveling with a wheelchair, a walker and an elderly mom is extremely stressful. I am trying to stay very calm and relaxed. Inside I am not relaxed however. I covet your prayers. Thanks ladies and I hope you all have a lovely day!

    Rocket - I truly hope it all works out in the end for you. Traveling is stressful no matter what but with all the additional help you need, I can only imagine. HUGS coming your way.

    Prayers Rocket. Hope you all made it safe and sound.

    Jaytee. We ended up with about 8 inches. A lot has melted. Just hoping it does not freeze. Off to bed. Nite all! Marsha

    Hi Everyone, glad to see you ATeamNana-hope your feeling better now. That is a heck of a way to loose weiight!!

    Rocket, I hope your trip went smooth. These are such a difficult time when we take care of our loved ones.

    Tammy, I hope your visit went well with your brother.

    Enjoy your spring break CookieMonster!!

    Jaytee, i'm with you about the weather!! I have had enough. We didn't get any accumulation but it snowed all day yesterday & several days ago too!! I look forward to working outside in the yard & riding the bike. My flowers are coming up & I need to do some racking & transplanting, but the snow is in the way!! 

    Hi Kindergarten! You are doing so good! You are such an inspiration to me! Smile

    I had a great weekend with the kids. Of course there was way too much good food...and even though I was better than usual I did really poorly on the scale yesterday. But today it is heading back down. YEY!! I will be good the rest of the week & try to get some exercise in.

    Have a wonderful day!!

    (((Hugs)))

    I have been better this week with carbs and even though I did not lose last Friday,(did not gain, either); I feel really good and I am determined to eat better and stay with this plan for a long time. I exercise every day. It is because of all of you, that my willpower is stronger, I exercise more and I just feel better knowing I can come here and be accountable. Thanks, Everyone!!!!

    Hi ladies,



    Thank you so much for the prayers. After an exhausting trip with two delayed flights, we finally arrived on Monday. Because someone at the facility dropped the ball, Mom's needs-based assessment won't take place until tomorrow at 12:30. We can't move her in until that is completed. It has been a paperwork nightmare! We did at least see the apartment today and it's really nice. She is so anxious to get in and get settled. My sister and I won't have a lot of time to help her because we fly home on Saturday. My brother will be helping her after we leave. Emotionally it's really difficult as I have handled all of her affairs for three years now. I can't wait to see my husband! I miss him terribly and my life back home. My foot has been very swollen and I need to get back into therapy.



    I am so happy that you all are doing well. You are wonderful, encouraging ladies. Thank you for thinking of me and praying for me. Tomorrow is a big day and we need all the prayers we can get.

    Happy Easter to all!

    Rocket...hope you get some time to rest that foot before company arrives.

    Tenaj...my goodness...hope you are OK and get to enjoy the weekend.

    Hi Kathy...yes I'm doing very well now.  Back to eating and having a hard time not eating everything in site...haha...  

    Hi Jaytee, CookieMonster...  Tammy - that belly dancing sounds interesting..

    Hi to anyone I missed ....

    I did better today with eating and am determined to get back in the swing of things after the weekend.  We are having an Easter Egg hunt in the house tomorrow for all four grandsons and 2 more children of extended family, so I cleaned house and I'm counting that as my exercise for the day.  Would love to have it outside but it is way too soggy in the yard.

    Again...HAPPY EASTER!   So thankful for my Saviour!

    I am feeling better, thanks for askiing. Kindergarten you are my hero with the weight loss!! You go girl! I am at a stand still with the weight loss. I need to exercise more. Now that my hip is feeling better & the weather is finally improving I look forward to bike riding & walking outside. I was doing great on the treadmill, I think I over did & it caused me to get hip pain. I just ordered new sneakers & I hope to wear them out quick! LOL

    My DH is away for most of this week so I hope to be extra good & have progress on the scale.

    Hi Tammy, Rocket, Jaytee, CookieMonster, ATeamNana...hope you had a blessed holiday & are all in good spirits Kiss

    Hi Ladies,



    I have been resting a lot. I didn't realize how exhausted I've been. Now time to get back on track with healthy eating, exercise (house cleaning today), and taking care of my foot. Thank you all for thinking of me and your prayers. My Mom is still thrilled with her new place and move to Maine. She has already seen a lot of old friends from high school. She's 88 years old, and her old friends somehow recognize her even after all that time - amazing!



    I feel like a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders. My DS, DIL and Erin will be arriving Thursday evening and staying through Sunday. I can hardly wait to hold my granddaughter again.



    I hope you all had a lovely Easter and recover well over this week.

    Hello everyone............tenaj, hope you are feeling better today...were you able to go back to work this week?   We are having some sunshine finally...hope that you are too, although it is still cold, was 17 this morning on our thermometer.  Still waiting for real spring to come....the forsythias havent even bloomed here yet.  Oh well....the good thing is that all the pretty spring blooms are yet to come ...last year everything was bloomed out and over by now. 

    Rocket..glad you are home and everything went well with your Mom.   You had quite a weeK!

    It was decided to move my Dad back up here.  I signed papers yesterday and am feeling anxious.  My sister has had him down near her for nearly 4 years and she is really ready for a bit of a break.   The place here is smaller and more personable feeling than where he is now so I think that will be better and he will be able to see some of his friends from around here.  It will be an adjustment though for all of us.  I hope mostly that the change will make him happy.  He has had such a rough road these last few years and because of bc we couldn't do this earlier. 

    kindergarten, Tammy, Marsha.....I also enjoyed a few too many Easter goodies...those chocolates go so well with a cup of coffee!   Time to get back to work.  Going to get myself ready here and walk the track before heading into work at noon today.   Hope you will all have a good week.  A hug for all of you today!    jaytee

Hope the weather is getting better and better for you all!!! My goal this week is to make better food choices and exercise at least 30 minutes each day. Hugs, KathySmile

    Hi Ladies,



    Jaytee, I do understand your anxiety regarding your Dad's move. I also know your sister's relief. I'm still my Mom's POA, so I handle all of her paperwork. That makes it easier on my brothers and SILs. I have been handling all of her affairs for the past four years. We were seriously running out of funds until she moved into this new place. She is so happy, and I am so relieved because of the financial concerns. Now I just pray my family can get her a new doctor so they can continue her meds which will run out in a month.



    Kathy, I will certainly enjoy Erin. How is Lily doing?



    Hey Cookie, ATeam Nana, Tammy, Tenaj, Marsha, and Fondak. Hope all you Ladies are doing well.

    Hi, Ladies!!! Hope you are all doing well. I just came back from Weigh In at WW, and I lost 1.6 lbs, a total of 15 lbs, since January 28th!!!! I still need to lose 40 more, but I have finally found the right program for me. I am losing it slowly:1-2 lbs a week, but I do not feel deprived at all. I do exercise every day, because you use your exercise points for food. If I know that I will going out to dinner and want something yummy, I make sure I exercise a little more, and use my weekly extra points!!!!  I am changing my habits and my lifestyle forever! Portion control plays a big part as well. I used to have 3-4 servings of everything, no more!!!! I am learning that even if I slip one day, I get back on the horse the next day!!! I exercise early in the morning, and then always try to slip a walk or bike ride later on in the day, and watching Lily is definitely exercise now that she is crawling. I am thinking about all of you, and how this thread has been my inspiration and motivation. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! Blessings, KathySmile
