Thanks very much for your replies, you guys! Much appreciated. I talked to my BIL today and I'm glad I did... he isn't sure he wants us to take the cats forever as he is thinking he might move out in a few months. I'm really frustrated because of the lack of care he has shown for them and we...

Hey everyone, we have two new furry family members joining us around the beginning of July and I wanted to get some input on a few things. These cats, both approx. 4yo DLH females, belong to my husband's brother. He adopted them when he was living alone but then he moved back to his parents'...

Great job, Pam!!!! Probably took off some water weight from the "bad" week. I gained .75 this week, but I honestly had a great week and did a lot of walking. I'm wondering if maybe because I'm increasing my activity I'm having a small amount of water retention. Or maybe some other factor. I was...

Hey folks! How is everyone doing on their goals and weight loss? I lost 2.5 lbs over the last couple weeks (missed last week's weigh-in) and yesterday I had my highest-ever step count of over 6,500! I know you are supposed to do 10k so that number is pretty pitiable but I was pretty proud! I...

He did it again tonight as I was cleaning off a table in my craft room; I was sorting through large construction paper cards. There's something specific about this type of sorting/moving things that sets him off. Maybe something to do with the back and forth motion as I pick up, look at, and...

I agree with DreamerRose; that seems like an integral training step that was missed. I would feel awful too, even though it's not your fault! A small gift for Martina is unnecessary, but a very sweet gesture if you would like to. I am sure she appreciates you despite the unfortunate error!

How did everyone do this week? I had a 1.75 lb gain. I'm not surprised; I went off the rails completely on Friday and it usually takes several days for a big spike to come back down. I'm not super concerned at this point; mostly I am trying to get back into the habit of honest food logging, day...

Often you can have a big swing up after a weekend due to sodium intake. I would bet that weight comes off pretty quickly! Don't be too upset, just get back to your healthy habits and you'll be great! :) I've only managed to lose .5 lbs over the last couple weeks after having some overeating...

Everything checked out with Garfunkel's exam and bloodwork. She recommended Feliway... which I *think* I had tried before, but not sure. I'll give it another go. Garfunkel has been as sweet as ever in the last few days, sleeping under the covers with me each night and no signs of the random...

Ah, I understand! Those are actually just markings. Light/dark fur. Maybe it's just because of the light or shadows that they look like wrinkles. In addition to a vet visit, I'm also going to increase play. Maybe the change in seasons or another environmental factor is causing some pent-up...

Thank you everyone. He slept under the covers next to me all night and has been very sweet to me today. I will still take him in on Friday. @catwoman707 He will be 6 in March. That is a natural, sleepy-face photo of him, although I caught him right as he swiveled his head around (I was kissing...

Thanks, you guys. I will take him in Friday. No, there's no cleaning smell - I was sorting papers the first time, and the second time just cleaning up the detritus that ends up under the bed. Tissues and that sort of thing. Not actually using products or sprays or anything. It's so strange and...

An extremely distressing new behavior popped up in the last few days. While I am cleaning Garfunkel comes out of nowhere spitting and growling and attacks me with his claws. Not in the "swipe swipe I am trying to get whatever you're messing with" but legitimately AT me, my body. He sinks in his...

My weight loss group was canceled due to the snow, so I'll have to update with my weight loss next Monday instead. Well done to all who had a loss this week!

So awesome you are back under 200, @Louann Jude!! How has everyone's week been going? Mine has been fairly decent. Not necessarily the best food choices, but have stayed under calories just about every day, and sometimes significantly under. Just finished up some Brunswick stew for lunch!

I went to my TOPS group meeting last night and got an official weight. I am still 17 pounds down from where I started in June 2014. It's not much, but considering I was adding about 15 lbs a year for five years prior to that, it's not awful. It's certainly better than if I had done nothing to...

I'm joining again. I ended up losing 80 lbs from 2014 to mid 2015, have put back every single one from mid 2015 to now. I am going back to my IRL weight loss group starting tomorrow. I am considering having weight loss surgery in 2018 (have not decided) so I will use this time to build good...

@roguethecat  I loved all the cards I received this year but Sassy Josephine might be my favorite! I loved the glittery dots!
