I will be in for October again. I am cleaning up my fabric stash and boy do I have a pile of fat quarters I did not realize I had because I tossed them in with the scraps. Silly me. think I can make a fat quarter quilt and then some. Will send one off to you this week.

I am in again. It is uplifting to come here, even if to pray for what all is going on. I have got to get to my next project. I am trying to stay steady working on Christmas gifts for family this year. I will try to get my fat/skinny quarter out this week.

Vanogay

I'm in for October, as well. Hopefully, this group will keep me thinking about what I eat - what I plan to eat and what I won't eat!!!

Teddybear Lady

I'm in again. I'll go through my fabric and come up with something to send you. Who would have ever imagined that fabric would be a great motivator for me to lose weight! haha Whatever works huh!

I need to find some hand work to take to the hospital with me, I know I have some snow ladies hand embroidery. I got to find them and get the going to keep me busy. I will be taking my laptop with me. Mom's surgery is scheduled for Nov 1st at 7 15 am. will be there for 3-4 days. I will be staying with her the whole time. The only time I will leave the hospital is when her husband comes up to relieve me during the day to go home and shower. I know I will be ready for my bed when I get home.

Will also plan my snacks and meals while I am there.

Those will be tough days, Cindy, but you can get through them. Sounds like you will be very prepared.
Just recorded my weight and breakfast on myfitnesspal. Time to get serious!

Cindy, your mom is blessed to have you. Do remember to walk and stretch, just sitting takes a lot out of you.

I'm in again. The challenge keeps me trying to make progress. It's apple season in NY so I'm a happy person.
