Re: The Blessings of Simplicity
You are doing great, Kathleen. You have maintained the ten pound weight loss.... Congrats, now your body can perhaps reset a set point at this weight and you can work on the next ten. Stay the course....

Thank you ladies. I only mentioned a brief part of my life story in response to oolala's "golden" comment. Each of us has a lifetime of stories that shape our journey along the way. And, as Thoreau said better than I ever could, The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Friday weigh in 148, I...

You're really a golden one, aren't you? Couldn't happen to a better person, I'm sure. Aww thanks. :) My life hasn't exactly been "golden" as I have lost a husband and two children along the way -- as well as the serious medical issues my current husband has battled the last couple of years , I call...

Sounds like you are doing great, Strawberry! Just wondering how you manage cooking for your hubby... it seems like you make him something special every evening, but it doesn't sound repetitive... do you manage to buy small portions of raw meats to make individual portions, or do you make up a bunch...

And got weighed in the middle of the day, likely. I always weigh a little more at the doctor's office, but don't tell anyone I know how much I weigh as I'm always telling people not to use the scale as a measure of much. Top 1%! Did you tell him about No S? [/b] Not specifically as I don't really d...

Hello all, just checking in before I head out to church. Everything is going great, weekly weight is 146 so I feel confident that I have made my March 2 birthday goal ! Went to the doctor Thursday - I never go to doctors but my husband went to him last Fall and was so impressed he thought I should e...

Thanks ! Weekly weigh in - 147 - which is great considering yesterday was a big bash at the local pizza buffet for Volunteer Appreciation Day and today was a girls get together at Wendy's. And we won't talk about that coconut cream pie that I made the hubby for Valentine's Day :roll: To your health ...

Happy Friday and thanks for stopping by ! This week's weight is 149 and yes, that is near my desired weight. My best summer weight is about 145 - that is the weight where I can wear lightweight tops and not have to do any tugging or pulling or adjusting or anything. At that weight there is no muffin...

I agree, have read many, many times that an occasional high calorie day after being very diligent does indeed shock your system as it realizes that there is no need to go into starvation mode and hold onto any of that dreaded fat. Speaking of my dreaded fat, of course, not yours. :D So, the weight l...

Thanks, yes the pineapple was yummy. Have been giving it some thought and realize that nobody really wants to hear about my latest salad - that is almost as annoying as me posting a photo each day of my dinner plate on Facebook (don't do FB, by the way). I will check in weekly to say hi and weigh in...

Thanks, I do feel much better. I do think I have seen coconut oil capsules at he pharmacy department at Wal Mart. You might do a bit of research on them. My DIL doesn't like the smell or taste of coconut either. Slept great, took a 10mg melatonin - advanced formula. Sometimes melatonin gives me craz...

Hi ! Welcome to the boards. Although this sounds simplistic, if eating the dessert makes you feel bad - could you just not it eat and see if you feel better that way? You won't be giving up something that your body truly needs to survive and perhaps you need the control of saying - Even on an S day,...

Ick-hope you feel better! Aww, thanks - I feel fine once I am up and about. Just first think in the morning my throat, mouth and nose are so dry I can barely breathe. When I am outside, I can breathe perfectly so I know it is just the indoor winter air. We keep the heat warmer than most due to my h...

My little boy has this issue right now with his sinuses. He is miserable at night. I rub him down with Vick's. It helps a little but he says, "I don't like my shirt stuck." I have tried the coconut oil in my coffee and I just can't get with it. I now just use it for general cooking, for my skin, an...

Happy Friday All. Do I look sleepy? I was literally awake all night :shock: . I have, for really the first time in my life, had sinus issues this year - hard to breathe at night even with a humidifier. Finally got out of bed about 3 and wandered into the den and turned the tv on (low volume). Watche...

Hi - the omelet was delicious, topped with cheese and salsa ! Regarding the coconut oil, just a tablespoon in the bottom of the first cup of coffee of the day - pour in the hot coffee to dissolve it and you have started your day with coconut oil. Lots of great health benefits to coconut oil, there a...

As cliché as it sounds, you really do have to love yourself and treat yourself better. As was wisely said, would you speak about a friend the way you speak about yourself? You need to become vain, you need to realize that you could indeed look like the stylish French woman you envision - but not if ...

Thanks, I did enjoy the day once I adjusted to being home early. :D I love my job and my home - I am just such a creature of habit that I get thrown off easily, I guess.

It is weird to be home during the day on a work day - I make sure everything is done before I leave in the morning so I really didn't have a lot to do. Hubby took a nap, I tried but just cant do it.
