Very interesting. Thanks.

Hi Terry,
I'm doing well. Catching up on everyone's journals. Don't know why but my toes have been cold today. I might have to buy myself a pair of slippers. Hope you are having a good weekend.

Hi Nell, Hiking is such a wonderfully natural exercise compared to working out in the gym. It must have felt great. Have you ever considered doing any long distance hiking? I used to like to read trail journals of folks walking the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine and the Pacific Crest Trail ...

Hi Raimel80, You’re funny! I promise not to slap you. :cool: I’m actually very happy for you. Getting good results is very motivating and will keep you coming back to the plan. If you can lose weight on the regular plan it’s definitely way easier to do in the long run. I’m looking forward to reachin...

Oh I wish I could take a puppy. They are so cute! I’ve been putting it off and putting it off until I sell the house & get settled somewhere new but I’m just about to take the house off the market and maybe, just maybe get a new dog this summer. I’m so happy for you Angela and your 8 pound loss....

I’m so glad you like the spiral slicer. I’ve seen them on some raw food blogs I’ve visited. Should come in handy for all the wonderful produce you’ll get out of your garden this summer. I checked out the Ravelry site. The photo of the Mermaid Fingerless gloves looked really cool. Hope you’re having ...

It’s so great to hear you are back to your old self after that nasty flu. Looking forward to reading all about your trip. Best wishes.

Hi Martha, Congratulations on your 1.2 pound loss. Good job on the long walks. I wonder if you could recreate the Thai Noodle recipe without the oil? I’m glad you liked the Caribbean Stew. It’s actually one of Mary McDougall’s recipes. I’m thinking of making that again soon but I think I’m going to ...

Yea, I’ve got it. Comes and goes. It can be quite maddening. I’ve not found an effective treatment. I’ve come to accept it more over the years. Sometimes it’s high and whining, sometimes low and rumbling. Sometimes I can’t differentiate it from actual sounds and I often ask people if they hear this ...

I have to admit I've been tempted to jump back on the scale to see if I get better news -- Have I lost weight now? How about now? How about NOW? :lol: I'm resisting, though, because I know that way lies madness … Made me laugh. :-D I hope your knee gets to feeling better soon. I know what that’s li...

You sound so positive and motivated. Congratulations on lost inches. I’m so happy for you. Hope you’re having a good weekend.

This week of the 40 day we are supposed to eat only fresh whole foods which is tougher than I thought. I eat pretty well when I do MWL, but they say no frozen, no canned, no packaged and NO MICROWAVE...I can't follow it perfectly, but I'm trying to eat more fresh stuff and eat things up via stove r...

Plus, the storage in our house is completely and totally inadequate (although my best friend could still be fanatically organized here). I don't even have a place to put my towels and sheets - have to store them in my art supplies cabinet. Beads, paper, prismacolors, and pillow cases. My dream hous...

3.25 Pound! Super Duper!! I’m so happy for you. Good food and exercise. You’re on a roll now.

Hi Toadfood, After I polish off this huge pot of curry I’ll be making up some more zucchini oats. Perhaps I’ll try having a salad with that as well. :thumbsup: Proverbs31woman , I actually think I’m pretty introverted and the idea of having witnesses to my exercise struggles doesn’t really appeal t...
