Good morning, losers! Happy Valentine's Saturday!
Linda, enjoy your weekend with your grands.
Kay, I know you are keeping warm. I can't imagine that much snow and having to be confined indoors. Glad you are on the mend.
Barbie, kudos to your hubby for his understanding and support.
Keep in mind that while this is a challenge, and many of us will not lose 20, we are still winners because we stayed the course of establishing a heathy lifestyle.
Today is a rest day for me. Although chilly, it's beautiful and sunny so I will get some steps in with dog walking.
I hope you guys have a wonderful, loving, and mindful day.
Stay strong!

Good morning and Happy Valentine's Day to each of you!
Well, I didn't have any loss this week and was actually up 1 lb this morning. :-( I know my intake was at or below 1300 cal each day with the exception of one or two and those were over only by maybe 200 calories. So, the weight may be more water than actual weight.
I just have to remember that since the beginning of the year I am still down 5 lb. So, I'll be happy and keep on keepin' on!
I spent 12 hours with my grandbabies (2 1/2 and 6 mos) babysitting yesterday and I know I got exercise that wasn't really logged by my Fitbit. I plan to make one change to my eating this week and see if there is a loss by next Saturday.
Congrats to everyone who had a loss this week!!!

Connie thanks for the good day greetings. you're the best. What is your doggie name and what breed of dog.? I lost my little Jack Russell the 4th of December and I miss him so. I did not know he kept such a watchful eye on me. But he did. if I call for Jerry he would go get him let me know if the phone rang Of course if the door bell rang all sorts of thing to keep me safe. he knew I was handicapped in lots of ways. His name was Sammy

Hi Marie...glad you had a fun night out! My weight is up this morning. My strength training yesterday was intense, and I think my muscles are retaining water. This is usually the case every week. Using Happy Scales helps me see the patterns.
My dog's name is Cooper, and he's a Shih Tzu. He will be 7 next month. This photo is right after grooming a week before Christmas.

Morning and Happy Valentines Day,
Another successful week and we are going strong. I have one more week and then my trip to Jamaica. I would like to see one more pound down before then. I will try hard and with all the support from this group I know I can do it!
Last night we went out for dinner and I had two pieces of fish, skipped the fries, had a nice salad and a little coleslaw. I did have a lite beer which I haven't had since I started losing and got on the scale and was down a pound. So if I can keep that momentum going I should be good for next week's weigh in. I will keep one more week on my eating plan before I go.
Linda UK A pound and half is a great loss. If you lose that every week you will reach your
goal before you know it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself and set yourself up for failure.
Little by little it all adds up. Good luck next week.
It is snowing hard right now and shoveling will be my exercise today. We are waiting for it to let up before we go and clean up. It just won't stop.
Enjoy your valentines days whatever you are doing with family and friends.

Wow Shirley! I hope you have some soup stocked up. I love soup when it's snowy and cold. I love sitting next to the window and watching it fall
Zumba was amazing. I think I'm falling in love. we used these jingle shirts that were so fun! I feel great afterwards and an being so productive which reminds me of one of the laws of motion "an object in motion starts in motion. "0 -
I got my food chart all filled out and sent in. I think I miss sending it in yesterday,
I made some changes/ instead of protein powder I just use skim milk, ! T. coconut oil and a cup of frozen strawberries. my doctor do not want me to eat too much protein on account of my Kidneys problens. Sure do not want my kidneys to shut down. I had the cottage cheese and oatmeal pan cake this morning and they were quite good. But must admit mine looks more like scramble egg instead of pancakes. But still enjoy them.
it is 75 outside think I will get a short walk in. before another cool front hit us.
This is a powerful thread. Such wonderful people sending you all a cup of kindness
