@Sandcastles61 I love our new name and at the moment it totally fits!!
@cristina0000 congrats on getting to the 150s you are doing a marvelous job! Glad you had a great time at Disney with your family
@lovesretirement how was the body pump class? I remember the first one I did - I could move or lift my arms for a week :-) jolly good fun though
Keep at it everyone!

@cristina0000 Maybe decreased stress from normal daily life helped you with the loss? Having fun is good for you.

Hi gang. I doubt any of you are awake at this time of night. It has been a massively crazy day. I was home for 55 minutes in 14 hours. I decided to soak in my jacuzzi tub with Epsom salts......I fell asleep for 3 hours in there. Don't worry I can't slip in and drown........it's a 5 foot tub and I'm 5'9.......so now I'm off to the rack. I'm drained.

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Wednesday!
Nancy...moving in the right direction! That's all we can ask, huh? 
Cristina...good job! Esther... You have been VERY busy these last few days! Be sure to get a rest day in there somewhere! Faye... I liked the class and was very proud of myself for going, participating, and lasting the entire time! I credit that to the personal training I've had since December. That has paid off because, without it, I would not have lasted. Granted, I used the lightest weights and sometimes no weights, but it was an intense class. I may go again Thursday! 
Marie...where are you???
It's going to be another beautiful day and I'm headed to the gym for training and the pool. The
scale is not moving, but I will. At some point, the numbers have to catch up to my body, right?? 
Have a great day!
Stay strong!

Stephanie0 -
Happy birthday Becky!!!! Hoping you have a GREAT day
Good luck today everyone on our daily goals. I was bang on yesterday with my changed up macros and got my swim laps in last night. Rainy today here so it is going to be an inside day for me, which means my focus is on the food and staying away from the kitchen LOL.

Good morning!
Thanks everyone! I am just so thrilled about the scale finally moving and reaching the 150's!
This morning I went to Veterans Hospital for lab work. My body absolutely hates giving blood...I tried to warn the lab technician that I was difficult to draw blood from but she thought she was better than everyone else. In the end, I got stuck once in the arm and twice in the hand. She also acknowledged that I was difficult! I used to hate getting my blood drawn due to the difficulty but now I just expect to get stuck more than once.
Besides that, I'm having a good morning. Hopefully I can get my 3 Liters of water down today...I only finished 2 yesterday.0 -
Cristina I have the same problems with my lab work. Congrats on the scales going down.
I was havingg problems with the letter T I spray it now working fine
Good morning misfits

Good afternoon, I hope everyone is doing good. Another pretty day here.
Happy birthday Becky! Dont be afraid to splurge alittle.
Congratulations Christina on the scale moving into the 150's, sounds like you walked all your pounds off at Disney.
Janice0 -
I just lost my post. Grrrrrrr!!!!
Checking in and want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY!
Cristina - Nice job on the pounds lost! My goal is 160 and seems so far away.
My Fit Bit is reporting that I am under budget on my calories. Not eating enough.
If I eat more I will gain. I know my body. My calories goal is 1400 and they are
giving me over 1600. When we age we don't need as much food like we used to.

Shirley, you can adjust the Fitbit calorie goal to what you need it to be.
Janice, Yes I did a lot of walking while at Disney. My Fitbit said I walked around 17000 steps a day. I generally average 5000 at home.0 -
@cristina0000 No wonder it's called the Happiest Place on Earth! Now I want to go there and lose weight too!0

Good Afternoon Ladies,
Hope it's a good Wednesday for everyone.
Happy Birthday Becky!!!
Congrats Christina on moving the scales.
Beautiful day so we got in some yard work this morning.
Connie, I bet you have some sore muscles today.
Marie, Are you ok?

Happy birthday Becky!!!!!!
Today I plan on doing NOTHING but sit and contemplate my navel. I have one costume to repair and a blanket to crochet. So that is what I am going to do today. In fact I already told the kids I am taking them out to eat dinner because I am too pooped to pop today. I was so exhausted last night I had a hard time falling asleep in bed. I could in the tub but when I got to bed I was wide awake. I hate it when that happens. But there is no dance rehearsal today thank God......
Esther
Ps I will try to attach a pic of my dancers later0 -
nancy I am Ok. Had problems with my letter T It would not type got my duster spray can out and that did rhe trick.Have a great day.marie0

@eyegirl777va Actually, I felt great today. If I had not been working with a trainer for the last 4 months, I would not have had the stamina/ flexibility to get through the class and I would have been sore! It was intense, and I was sweating buckets, but I really liked the challenge.
I plan to go again tomorrow. 0 -

Awesome you found something new you enjoy❤ Tami0 -
Just stopping by to say hello.
Congrats Cristina
I like body pump to Connie I don't have time to ho right now though. Keep it up a change in routine will probably do the trick.
Ester my sister owns a dance studio so I know how your feeling. Our recital isn't until August.0 -
Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Thursday! Becky, I hope you had a wonderful day! Esther...glad you rested yesterday. Your body needs recovery! Shirley..my calories are set at 1350. I do eat about half my exercise calories back, though. I think that I need to just accept the fact that I am a slow loser, and nothing I do is gonna change that. Hi Sunny! Marie... I miss you and hope you are doing well.
It's going to be another gorgeous day with high temps and low humidity. I am going to the gym for body pump class and have some shopping to do later on. My new obsession is workout clothes!
Make it a great day, losers!
Stay strong!
Connie

hi ladies,
connie, what kind of workout clothes? I am trying not to buy anything as I have plenty of great stuff that is just too tight, lol!!
I also think we should start looking at not losing in a different light. I am so happy not to gain and to keep off what I have lost so far. sometimes we need to look back at where we started and not just where we want to be:)
have a great day everyone!!
Stephanie
ps. managed to not have such sticky fingers yesterday and log what I ate!!0 -
Good morning Connie and stept.

Morning,
Got on the scale and it is not moving. Hair apt. this morning then cleaning the boat.
It's in the 70's here and a beautiful day.
I think I will go back to South Beach Phase 2 and see if I can get some results.
Now getting on my bike one more time on the turbo trainer then onto the road this week.
Cristina - My pedometer is always lower than the Fit Bit. The fit bit picks up all movement not just
steps. I am sticking with the 1400 range I usually as lower than that anyway. I don't how to
change the calories on Fit Bit. Not a techy.

Good Morning Ladies,
Yes, it is a beautiful day. Hope all is well with each of you.
Not sure what I will be doing today other than cleaning house and exercise.
Waiting for lumber to be delivered so we can start redoing our screened porch.
I am thinking about getting a Fitbit and don't have a clue which one to get.
Would appreciate your input.
Connie, I'll bet you are looking sharp in your work out clothes!!
Marie, I am hoping you will get to feeling good soon!!! Things are not the same
when you are not around!!!

Good morning!
I woke up this morning and the scale was down 0.6. Not much but still moving.
I'm preparing for a work trip hopefully I don't gain while I'm there. It's a one week intense IT certification course where the meals are going to be provided for us and we will be in class from 8:00am to 10:30pm. We will have breaks for meals but I envision that it will be very stressful!
Nancy, I have the FitBit HR and love it because it also includes your heart rate.
Shirley, you change your calorie goal in the FitBit app select Account on the bottom then Goals. On the Goals screen in the Diet portion tap Food then you have a choice to be guided on adjusting your calorie goal or just manually entering it. Hope that helps...
