hello sparkers.................. stopping by to say hi. Im really back on track and the scale is showing me 135 again...................... so thats a good thing. Been out on the bike ( such nice riding weather) and have been working out a bit more. Eating right is part of the plan and Ive been much better with that. How fast it all shows results.

Still wearing a Dr Oz blue bracelet -- which I vowed i would wear until I got to 130 pounds. Its been on over a year. UGH.

Everyone be well and enjoy the weekend.

No - Didn't eat anything except some collard greens after a large mid-afternoon "snack'

Yes - Tracked my points and managed to stay almost within calorie limit even though I went way off early in the day, due to work-related stress.

Hello Everyone,
I have been away for quite awhile and it is time to get back on track. It is so nice to have a place to go back to. Lost 11 pounds a couple years back preparing for 2 daughters weddings. Unfortunately I have put all of that back on - so here I am. I am making the commitment to get back to exercise and tracking because that is the only thing that really works for me. The challenge this month is one of my favorites.
Yes - tracking food
No - too early to know what I will say no to but I will find something
Whoo-Hoo - You are all an inspiration

Thanks for the support CARRIEV52! I really appreciate it.
Bummer about you not being able to eat nuts, I cant eat fruit, talk about missing out on healthy foods.

Good for you, LMoran62! You are movin' on down there....

Yes! my only sugar today was in the Honeycrisp apple I had as a snack...unsprayed from our local fruitstand

No.... I think I'm allergic to nuts....I ate a dozen blanched filberts and bloated pretty much immediately. And I love nuts. And they have good fats and some protein. But it seems as if this reaction happens a lot....peanut butter, too, even though those aren't nuts. Bummer.

Woohoo! My 15-month-old granddaughter had her first time on ice skates this past weekend....and she loved it!
