John and Bill - sounds like y'all have your hands full with parental caretaking. Dread that day when it comes with my mother.
82much - kudos to your buddy on his retirement! 30+ years is a great run. 
Our City Secretary retired Friday after 21 years with the City. New Secretary is former Court Clerk. Intelligent young woman with a good heart. Best part is that our last smoking employee is gone. We're fixing to come up to at least the 1990's with no smoking in the building. Not formalized but will before long if I have any thing to say.
Y'all have a Great Week! It is going to be colder than a witch's mammary gland in a brass metallic mammary gland containment device this week here.
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!!

John, I feel for you we have begun to look for a place for my parents Moms dementia is getting where it is becoming dangerous and 8 hours a day of home health aids is just not cutting it Ages 87 and almost 92
a side note to Brian, spending the weekend with my buddy *****tired last Friday after 33 years with Westlake PD
Good week to all
I was 272 last week. I am still 272 this week. I am seriously beginning to think I've reached the end of the weight loss line here. My weight has plateaued, bobbling back and forth between 272-275 for the past couple of months. I am fine with that. I am as lean as one could expect, excepting my flap of course. I'll be discussing options with my surgeon. I am not vain, but it would make things a little more comfortable to have it gone.
I anticipate taking an RMR test next month. I've been pushing for that so I can determine a more accurate calorie count than what tables and charts show. Maybe they will turn out to be accurate, but I am somewhat atypical in a lot of things. Why would this be any different? In any case, it should help me avoid any regain as long as I do my part.
Exercise beyond daily moving about the property and working in my shop has been very low. It has been "break your ears off" cold here for weeks. It may be that inactivity has helped my slowdown. I was easily burning 3000 calories a week in exercise and work around the property during the warmer months.
John, I can really feel for the things you are dealing with regarding your parents. I am there too. My Mom is descending into Alzheimer's at an increasing rate, and my Dad is killing himself trying to take care of her. I am making my third visit this week to try and help them out some, as much as they will accept.

1st week of 2018 travel in the books. Practiced more mindful eating than anything else. Got to the gym three times as well. I feel pretty good about the week, I could do better with food choices so that's the goal in the next few weeks.
Taking a week out of traveling to Florida to spend in Michigan with my parents. My mom is starting hospice this week, so there is of course lots of stress there. I've known this was coming for a while, so my mind is in the right place. My dad eats like **** anyway, so hopefully I can help support him and myself a little bit this week. I start that crappy drive in a couple hours before the snow starts falling.
Have a great week everyone.
Get a big(er) wife (?) 
Seriously, the only thing I can think of here might be a weight belt like SCUBA divers use? I don't know how much weight is on them, though, since I'm not one ... 
Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

Holidays were harder than expected one year out from surgery.
Good week (and year) to all!
I agree with the harder part. But I also look at no net gain as success. Good for you!

Isn't that the truth about trusting farts. I made that mistake ... ONCE.
