    Country1 just reported to me her July weight loss of 11 pounds. I am sorry that she didn't report on July 31, as we have announced Quiltin Chris for the winner.

    Join me in congratulating Country1 on her loss.

    Great job, Country1.

    PM Chris for her snail mail address, please.

    Congrats to Chris for her weight loss last month. And to all the others that lost. Weigh to go.

    Yesterday my food intake was good but didn't get any exercise in because of the weather (rain and heat). Today is another day and I was able to get out and walked 4 miles this morning before it got too hot. I was only a half mile or so into my walk and my t-shirt was soaking weight. Glad I got out early

    WE CAN DO THIS

    I ate the last of the chips last night and started fresh to day. I weighed in this morning at 209 pounds and would like to set for my first goal to lose 10 pounds. What is the 7 day diet? Is it the cabbage diet? Good luck to all of you and remember we need to incourage each other. Love you all till the next time good luck

    Remember, it's not a diet but a lifestyle change that we are making. Whatever the meal plan you will be using is, ask yourself "is this the way I want to eat the rest of my life?"

    Okay, today has started out bad. I gave in to my craving and had Kripy Kreme. I know it is bad, but it tastes so good. Okay, now I have confessed, I feel better. The rest of the day should be easy--lots of water and fresh vegetables to snack on until Dinner, which will be more vegetables and a hamburger patty.

    Karen, have you ever made doughnuts or seen them made? Anything fried in that much oil can't be good for your tummy in more ways than one. I have a recipe for muffins that taste just like a cake type doughnut. My family loved them. I don't know if they retained that taste cold because with a husband and five children, 12 doughnuts didn't last long. Not a diet recipe, but a satifying one when the need arises.

    MJ, I have to ask why only one cup of tea? Is it to prove we can do it? Coffee in moderation has lost its bad reputation and has some health benefits for those who can drink it. Tea, particularly green, has many health benefits including helping with weight loss. Carbonated beverages, whether sugar or diet, have no health benefits and several detrimental effects on health, so I can understand giving those the boot. I did it 20 years ago when I was diagnosed with osteoporosis.

    MJ, you asked in the old post: How am I doing? I have picked up 8 pounds of fluid. I could answer to the name Stumpy today. My hands and legs are so ugly. There is no rash on my trunk and no open sores from broken blisters above my knees, except on one wrist. I think the reaction has stopped progressing and now I hope it will start regressing. What bit my ankle? I don't know. We are too far north for fire ants, I think. Chiggers? Obviously something I'm very allergic to, so I'm not going down to the lakeshore and look around for anything. Newbies, Friday night, I was walking with my grandsons in grass just above the lakeshore when something bit my ankles at the same time the mosquitoes came out. Mosquitoes like my ankles, but this wasn't a mosquito. How do I feel? Very tired, but not ill. I think it will be okay in a few days.

    It's raining lightly, but I'm going to take the dogs out just to keep my blood circulating. Silly dogs cornered a skunk in the rose garden at 2:00 am. Lily was half in the fountain trying to get at the skunk. Luckily, they didn't get sprayed. I kept them in the laundry room for a few minutes to be sure.

    createfourpaws, are you doing the list or is it my turn? We are close to 100 partcipants.

    Have a clean eating day, everyone. I am losing weight and getting healthier.

    I will start on the list tonight after work. I have volunteer with MJ to do it each month. It is exciting to see we have so many this month participating.

    I hope this is ok to test my ticker banner here. awww i'm not doing something right

    Hurray! It worked....except it's still at zero.

    Do you find it better to weigh yourself once a week or more often?

    Irish,
    I am so glad you are better. This is a terrible situation for you.

    I said one cup to develop the habit of drinking water. Green tea is good, but most aren't choosing that for their extra beverage. Coffee is good IF you don't have a heart rhythm problem.
