Hey Chris, how is it going with trying to add a few calories?

It is but I'm staying positive and hoping that it will balance out real soon and the scale will start to move in the other direction. Otherwise I'll be living on jus****er! Just kidding! LOL!

Hello my friends! Late greetings from me on this somber and beautiful All Saints Day!

I'm still hovering just over 145#. Doesn't matter: I will outlast this slowpoke scale! My goal is to be under 142, or under 140...it's somewhat of a moving target.

Yesterday I was feeling peckish, but mostly due to anxiety about something. I managed to keep my calories under 650, though, and stayed within protein and carbohydrate bounds.

I didn't have any trick-or-treaters. I missed them! But I wasn't surprised, as there aren't a lot of kids in my immediate neighborhood.

I've been feeling the people I have loved who have passed on very, very strongly over the past few days. There really is something to the notion that they are closer at this time of year, I think. I am going to light a candle for them, especially for my parents and my other relatives in the spirit world, after posting this to the group.

It is very dark here today - strong grey cloud layer, and rain. Beautiful, but somber. November is always a somber month, until Thanksgiving brings us all into the dazzling holiday mode!

QOTD: So many to choose from its impossible to narrow down. There are many more, but here are a few, in no particular order:

The truly amazing Carolina Chocolate Drops:

Nils Lofgren. Here he is singing his beautiful song Valentine, with Bruce Springsteen chiming in, and guess who playing drums?!:

John Gorka. This fantastic singer/songwriter/balladeer is from NJ. An amazingly nice guy:

And from The Strangelings, a very Happy Halloween, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day to all of my RnY friends:

First: several mugs of tea
B: tuna
L: chicken
D: eggs with Chipotle gouda
S: nonfat plain Greek yogurt with Torani SF syrup

Have a wonderful afternoon and evening!

How wonderful that you feel your loved ones! I really enjoy going to the Mission and lighting candles for my loves, but I never thought to do this at home! Enjoys your visits!!

Congrats on the scale and being SO close to goal!!

I light candles at church too, but like putting out some fresh water, fresh flowers, and a candle for them at home as well. I want them to have light and peace, and to know that they are loved and missed. For New Year, I pour them champagne! I know most would probably think it's just my fertile imagination, but honestly, my sense is that is appreciated. Either way, it's what I do.

Thank you Amy! I am happy to be close, weightwise, but I haven't made much progress at all for the past few weeks despite a solid adherence to my plan. At this point I am thinking that I am going to keep dieting until New Year's Day, and then will gently and very gradually start adding in more calories and more of a variety of vegetables and some fruit. I'd really like to go 10 pounds under my goal though, so I may take longer than that to enter maintenance. We'll see!
