I have been divorced now for 3 yrs after a 20 year marriage. I have 2 grown sons, ages 26 and 23 and a daughter in law, no grandchildren as of yet, just a grandpup. I have a teacup Chihuahua named Lucy who loves to check out my quilts and see it they will keep her warm.
I am also living with my parents, we have convertered their garage into an apartment for me so I have my own place. I moved home to help them out when mom got sick a couple yrs ago. So now we are helping each other.
As for my weight loss, I need to take off about 50 to 60 lbs total, but my goal is about 5 to 10 lbs a month. I am diabetic with a fatty liver so having to make diet changes to be limited fats and low carbs.
Thanks MJ for coordinating
Missy best of luck on your weight loss to get to your goal for your surgery.

Welcome! We hope you do well.
I am in my 50's, been on disability since 93 for a variety of autoimmune diseases, and my DH and I are both each others caregiver as he has a rare type of cancer.
I've sewn all my life, so it seemed a natural move to start quilting several years ago. I won my first blue ribbon with my first ever entry last summer in our local county fair.
Married for 26 years, two sons and 8 grandchildren who all live states away. :-( I also love to read, play Scrabble and learn from others on this forum.
Best of luck to all participants. :thumbup:

Missy......I believe that family needs to stick together and care for one another.
I am a respiratory therapsit who see every day at work, the number of patients who are there that never have one visitor the whole time they are in the hospital. I for one ache for them.
I am grateful that I am in a situtation to be able to help my parents. They are also a big help to me. Since I work long days 13 plus hours, they are taking care of my Lucy the chihuahua.

MJ - My Lucy is so spoiled by her grandpa.....he will go and buy ribs for her. Gives her anything she wants. She loves to pester him to play with her and he cant refuse. Get the laser light going and she loves it.
Well i am heading out to physical therapy now for my shoulder. Then I am going to go check out the park down from the house for walking around for my exercise.
Have a great day

Hi Everyone,
Hope you adventure of dieting is going well. I have been dieting most of my life and am feeling pretty defeated. Last week I was introduced to the Made To Crave book. It adds the spiritual side of dieting to the exercise and eating healthy sides. It is really helping me so I wanted to share it with you all in case someone would be interested. The website is madetocrave.org. I love the book it is empowering and gives a whole new side to the food addiction. I order the dvd it will be here Friday.
Anyway God bless you all as you try to become healthy. Have a great day taking care of yourself. Remember You are made for more.

Hello everyone. I've enjoyed reading everyone's information and getting to know some of you a little better. I hope you all are having a good day. I had a weight watcher meal for lunch. My favorite is their turkey and mashed potatoes. It is really good. I like WW meals, as they have flavor, where as some of the diet meals have no flavor at all. WW just has very small portions, but that is the point. I had a sugar free chocolate pudding cup as my dessert. As always, water to drink. I'm about to do my PT home exercises for my knee. Hugs to all, Sandy
