Geriatric MM Warriors!

[Wisteria1956]

Hi Lisa! did someone contact seabreeze?

I PM'd her to email me so I'll see if she does tonight. I have never sensed anything but goodness in her.

Update: She emailed me and I explained, remarked about Diane's new location, and asked her to keep it between us and to let me know what she wants to do.

Hey guys, just surfing over LCF, and GL posted the following:
Huge News!
Read All About It!

Metabolism Miracle by Diane Kress
Will Open It's Doors
Next Week
With It's Own Message Board

Yeah Met B's
This is just what we all wanted!

Diane will let us know next week
when it's up and running!

Ps: I will be honored to start up the Step 1 Thread on Sunday! NOT gonna do a Step 2 Thread, would be kinda silly since we will all move over to Diane's Board.

Any ideas? To be honest, I still don't really want to post too much over there. This is home for me now. I'm happy and comfy here with all of you. Just my 2 cents.

Robin, you are a genius! I don't know why I didn't think to PM Abby. I even googled all the cookie bakers in New York. I miss that girl! Anyway, I just PM'd her. Took me awhile to find a post I could use to jump off of, but I did! Whew! I hope she emails me. I just kept it light and told her I missed her and didn't want to lose touch even if she is too busy to post.
Lisa

I feel comfortable here too. What we don't want is to end up where someone else feels like they have to make rules for us.

Wow! So this means that we won't be staying here either? Very cool but I wonder what the smiley's will look like?

ok, well thats interesting that Diane started a forum, and I have no problem with posting there too, just think it wouold be great to stay here so its just us group of close friends and geriatrics and if we find anyone else there we feel we want to invite here then we can? Thats just my thought! that way we can talk about stuff like Kathy's trouble, Tutu's son, etc without involving all the others and those we dont know very well...what do you all think?

 

[Virginiaponygirl]

NO!!! Lets not leave here!!! ITs NICE here!!! We can just post there too, like we were planning on continuing to post on the old thread....we can post there more generically and then come here for more emotional and "sista" stuff! And TOM!!

That might be good to have two places. I think for now we should keep our options open. It might turn out to be wonderful over there on Diane's blog she sets up. I like hanging with all of you though in particular. There's no way to explain how we've all become friends like this. I think God is behind it. It does feel really safe here.

I know that you ladies know this but I emailed Diane earlier this week and told her we were have trouble at LCF and asked if she could start a forum for us. She said she would work on it. And, voila! She did! She is awesome. I say we keep posting her until we see what it is like on Diane's forum. I like it over here.

I will feel out Seabreezes carefully. She is always so nice and positive - more like we are! I'd still like to log in over there and go through the recipes, for instance.

You were thinking like me. I have a lot of the MM recipes on the computer, but I have been looking around the main site, and found the recipe thread. I actually found a recipe for low carb milk. According to the posters, it's pretty good as long as it's cold. I'm going to get the dry milk and such and try it. If it works out, I'll post it for you.
Going to try the home made jello this weekend too. I love my jello for a snack.

Dear Kathy, I've been thinking that the judges usually employ common sense and it is obvious this child didn't mean to break the rules. Keep us informed, please and we will keep praying for all of you. You make sure and eat on time and get as much rest as you can.

My main problem is just the eating right. I remember Robin saying about not eating enough. Well, I'm one of those daily weighers (I know) and since I didn't eat much yesterday, I think it contributed to my 2# gain. But I also know our weight goes up and down. I haven't really eaten today either. Going to grab some tuna or something. Then a chocolate square or chocolate ice cream bar for my 5x5!!

I plan to stay right here to be honest. I just want to be able to stay in a little bit of the loop so if they ask Diane any questions, we will know what is going on WOE wise. Reading the posts, I noticed there is still "personal" talk going on over there. Must of been the Godiva ride that did us in

Off to date night now! Love you guys!

I'm always wondering if I'm eating enough or if I'm eating too much fat. The fat loss is such a different animal from weight loss. You can't measure it easily so I don't have a gauge to go by. I know the scale is still going up and down but never below 313 for the last two weeks and it's driving me bonkers. (Laura isn't here yet is she? ) I just keep reminding myself that nice and slow is a good thing. I've dropped weight quickly at times in the past by doing low carb diets and honestly this is so much different. I have a whole different level of committment with this too. I can see how it's doable and realistic. I've got a hope now that I don't remember having before.

I know I rely on the mozzy sticks and nuts a bit too much, but those are pretty much all the fatty stuff I eat. I just have a real problem eating at all when I'm upset. I have only had 5 slices bacon, slice bread, 1 poached egg (8am) and 2 jellos between 1-5. I had a salad to eat for lunch, but just couldn't stomach any food. I'm hungry, but any food I think of makes me nauseated. I will try to eat a piece of peanut butter bread. Even the thought of that turns me. I haven't even drank any coffee today. Just didn't feel like it.
Oh, how is your decaf coming? I hope it's going well. I am at the point where I can drink decaf with only a bit of light cream. Maybe 2 tablespoons in it, and maybe 2 cups a day. But with colder weather here, it may go up a bit. We had snow flurries today. Up in DuBois PA (about an hour from me) and State College (about 2 hours away) they are getting dumped on. It looks so nice though. We have a Noreaster coming our way If it comes in west a bit, we always get a lot of snow.
Ok, now I'm rambling yet again. Sorry

Ramble all you want! It's fine. You do need to eat though. If your health is poor you can't be any help to anyone. Maybe you could toast the bread and put peanut butter on it and then eat it in little tiny bites with some tea. That will go down easier and not be so hard on your stomach.

It's amazing, the decaf and me have become friends. I sometimes put one spoon of regular in with the decaf coffee, but I've noticed now that it makes me clench my jaw and my stomach tighten up when I do it. Not like being anxious about something, but like it causes a non emotional anxiety. I'm not sure if there's a word for that I'm not remembering. I frequently put a spoon of baking cocoa in my decaf. Even though cocoa has caffeine in it, it does not seem to have the same effect on me. There must be something that countereffects the caffeine in the cocoa. I think whole foods tend to balance the body most of the time unless you separate ingrediants. God does a much better job of putting food together than we do I think!

I'm not getting this. It was 75 degrees a while ago now it's 79. It's going the wrong direction! Well, back to my sewing! I feel so free tonight. Like I put down a heavy weight.

I feel the same way--and God is behind it (He's behind everything right!)
