Tomorrow is my class reunion. A catered dinner - that can be good or bad. I have to travel 100 miles and usually don't overeat on the road. I've lost more weight since the 31th - don't know what's going on, but I'll take it. Until last month, I hadn't lost more than 2 pounds in a month for a least 15 years.

I know we are very late up here in the north country, but the peaches are ripening. They are so good. My night snack has been a fresh peach with peach Greek yogurt and walnuts. Yummy and very filling.

I AM losing weight and becoming healthier.

I am a first timer on this challenge and I think it is just what I need to stay focused! I have 3 months to make changes in my cholesterol/blood pressure and it never hurts to have some friendly encouragement! thanks.

Welcome new comers, we are a fun group with lots of encouragement.

If you wish to send in 2 months, September theme is florals.

You are not required to, some of our ladies have chosen to send in multiply months, to save on the postage.

Good luck each and every one of you.

Welcome to our newbies, we are a good group here. Good luck and healthy eating. Yes Cindy we need to repeat the batiks. They seem to be pretty popular. I know I fought for them.
I finished the top of the quilt I am making for my grandson last night. I am working on the back. I am on a fabric diet too so I am piecing the back. I quit buying backs for my quilts. I piece something from my stash. I have it most of the way pieced. I need to search for a little bit more fabric to finish it.
DH is requesting blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Not sure I feel like it but I do have some buttermilk to use up. Still thinking about it.

I hadn't seen this before so I will join in. I sure need to loose weight and I am addicted to fabric. What a good incentive!!

What's the "etiquette" on this thread?

Can we say what amount of weight we've loss per week? Can we use the blog area to track our menus & exercise?

Just want to play by the rules . . . . Thanks . . . . ,GP:thumbup:

Rules are simple, have fun, post weekly, yes you can share your loss anytime you want. It is up to you to use the blog area, I have not used the blog area. Several have used other fitness sites that have tracking and calories, one is my fitness pal.

We have been doing this for several years, so you can go back and look at past threads if you like and have time.

Everyone has bad day, good days, emotional days........need prayers at times. Feel free to share what you like. Anyone is welcome to join in on the chat.......will give you some encouragement when needed.

Like last month, one person discovered she was not losing due to eating too few calories and got help and is now losing after increasing her calorie intake for the day.
