What’s on your mind — how to make kugel? This week’s Torah reading? Life goals? Prayer? We are all engaged in weight loss/weight maintenance journeys and we are all Jewish or at least interested in Judaism. We like to eat, we like to discuss. It is our goal here to provide each other support on our journeys, to share experiences, to call on our rich cultural heritage and texts, and to help each other grow spiritually.
Some of us take weekly turns starting the thread:
Frieda (hopefully)?

And for those of you that stop by to read this thread without posting — you are welcome to, but you are also welcome to chime in. Don’t be shy!

Hello everyone! It’s Thursday night, and tomorrow is National Smile Day, so I hope you all will have a wonderful, smile-worthy day tomorrow.
What are you all smiling about these days? I am smiling that Donald Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts in the New York trial. I have great respect for our criminal justice system, flaws and all, but I have even more respect for the jurors who decided this extremely difficult and tremendously important case.
I won’t be weighing myself until tomorrow morning when I wake up, but I hope to also be smiling about my weigh-in. Even if I’m not happy with whatever the scale tells me, though, I know I have done well with my eating and exercise this week, and that makes me smile, for sure.
How about you all? What’s on your smile-making agenda for today and this weekend?
Shabbat shalom!

My niece is flying back from London today and will be staying over tonight. I don't know yet if she will be coming to synagogue with me in the morning. (I will also smile when the blow up bed is actually blown up). The apartment looks better than in a long time - still a little more to pick up. I know I ate well this week but today is my WI and I did not lose anything - that is okay.
Looking forwrd to my compnay this evening. So unusual for me to have someone staying over.

Good morning everybody. Hope you are all well and SAFE! Please pray for Israel. peachymom1, I couldn't agree with you more. Re today's topic: Today I am smiling (actually crying with happiness) about Trump being found guilty. It's been a long time coming. I am also happy that DH and I are getting our home equity loan. We have an appointment this afternoon at the credit union to sign the papers. Tomorrow is my weigh-in day, and I don't even care if my weight goes up because of celebrating with extra desserts yesterday. Have a peaceful day, Lee |

Good morning everyone, I am indeed smiling about my WI - I lost 2.2 pounds! That makes up for the pound I gained last week, plus more! Doing my happy dance!

Peachy , I’ve had that happen many times: I’ll gain a pound, only to lose that one and more the next week.
I’m smiling about the trump verdict as well. Sad,y, I doubt it will help him lose the election, but I can always hope.
Thanks for a great week, Peachy.
