all is well here, was bright this morning, but starting to cloud over and rain predicted most of next week...yes, a little tired of the rain. We were going to go for a cycle ride, but not looking good.

Well, good morning all! Slow start to the day...my DH is not having a good day today ("wobbly head" and kidneys) so he's still in bed. I'm doing laundry so far, and thinking about crocheting a square

Yesterday was a decent day, we even saw the sun! So I've finally finished putting the pool to bed for the winter and got the outside furniture put away, well most of it anyway. The big wooden chairs are still out. My DH used his mulching mower to run over the 6" thick layer of leaves out back, which meant he walked back and forth for about 2 or 3 hours. (Could be why he's not feeling well today.) I have a big blue ceramic pot I need to manhandle into the sunroom before it rains again. I've taken most of the dirt out of it, which makes it a little lighter. Last winter I mistakenly left it outside, and it didn't get broken! This year I won't take the chance. It sat on the pool deck all summer with cherry tomatoes planted in it. Man, they were great Much better than the store bought ones! Also, I should try to dig up the onions in the garden. The ground is so wet and heavy (clay) I'll be digging clumps not just onions.
I also need to go shopping for some fresh vegies. We're pretty well out of everything except lettuce, not good when I'm looking for meal ideas!

Well everyone, have a good day, stay warm, especially you, Carole

Good morning . What a day today, got my exercise in, but it is pouring rain one minute and freezing rain the next, blech! Got to work today, so I'm just popping in to say hi to anyone on board

I hear my DH up and about so I'll just go put the lunches together and have breakie till he's out of the shower. I get off at 3:15 today, so I can come home, walk the dog if it's not raining and make supper before I go pick DH up at work.

Have a great day everyone

I'm here, already at work and looking forward to the day. Chilly, but looks like it's going to be a sunny day here...although I won't see any of it

My focus today is good food and lots of water!

My ticker isn't showing up on my posts. Probably operator error!

It's cold and windy here today. I've had to make a quick trip to the Municipal building this morning already but I'm hoping I can stay indoors now.

I've spent the last 3 weeks clearing out an old house we just bought and what a mess it was. But the cleaners have been in and are done now, so the renters can start moving in as soon as they're ready. I'll be so glad when it's ready but there are other things that need done too. Like a new roof!

Well, I've done my exercise for today and am looking forward to a nice supper of Pork Chops and fried radishes.

Have a good one!

Nighttime here - so dark and it's only 5:20 - crazy! Pretty good day so far, busy at work and a quite night at home. My son is home from college, so will be nice to spend some time with him. I'm experimenting with brussel sprouts right now - not sure what I'm having with them - but it's a start!

What a great day it was today! Sunny but cool. Mind you, I worked all day till 6:30 but I did walk over to the grocery store for a few minutes to pick up some broccoli.

We ate out for supper tonight since I was so late getting home, but I was very pleased with myself. I had a Julienne salad which was so big, I brought half of it home for breakfast! So today, I've had 3 salads! 2 of them I made and then supper. And I drank lots of water, even had a customer comment about the size of my "jug". It's one of the WW 32 oz. "mugs" with the straw and handle.

Tomorrow is supposed to be nice as well, so perhaps we'll take the Corvette out for one last spin before we put it away for the winter on Sunday. Just have to talk my DH into it

Getting late, and I'm an early bird, so sleep well everyone,

Good Morning...
A question.. is it normal to lose only 4 or 5 pounds after the 2 week induction period?

By the way, I am menopausal and aged 53. Also, .. haha... besides that I am a wife, Mother, Grandmother, friend and preschool teacher. I have been under extreme stress due to the death of a child in a car accident, my husband aged 62 having a work related accident, my mother having dementia and my newest sadness, my Daddy died of pancreatic cancer after only knowing about the disease for 6 weeks... why I am saying all this is .. I wonder can stress slow down losing weight.. or is it my metabolism. I have not had time for physical excersize, because I go be with my Mother after work and I work two jobs due to my husband's disability. Not whining here.. I am blessed in so many ways.. just hard times have hit and I am sure times will perhaps get better... just questions as I am only on day 15 of my diet. I do have the "new" 2002 book...I ahve read bits and pieces of it.. when I read I fall asleep ..

Thanks for reading this .. have a great weekend!!

First of all, sorry about all the sadness in your life.
But also to answer your question, it is helpful to put you start weight/current weight/and goal weight and height in your post, or even better, in your signature. Then we can determine how much weight is average to lose for your numbers.
