Esther: here is the link to ask MFP to reset your counter so you don't lose your days.....I did it because there were times when I had no internet access even though I was faithfully following my plan and would have logged in if there had been service.

Marie
Ok. That would be great. Because I lose my 2 day streak now and restart on Monday. But that's ok. The perils of sea travel. But I love it. So enjoyable. B

Marie, I'm so glad you'll get your new computer soon! I know you'll enjoy using that so much more than the crummy ipad.
Connie, I'm glad you're feeling good effects from your new eating plan. Getting good sleep is supposed to be really beneficial to weight loss.
Esther, you'll knock that 225 out so fast! And I hope you get your logging streak back. I know it shouldn't, but my logging streak means a lot to me, and I'm not even that far along.
Thanks, Nancy! House hunting was mostly "meh" on Friday. There was a house we were supposed to see today, that we felt we'd make an offer on, but found out yesterday that it had already sold before the official listing. But we did still see one house today. It has a lot of potential, and we're really considering it, if the houses we have lined up for Wednesday don't impress us. The house we saw today needs new flooring, a kitchen remodel, and a paint job throughout. But it is an interesting house and it made some kind of impression on us, haha. We have several really good looking ones lined up for Wednesday, if they don't sell by then. I hate waiting so long to see them, but our realtor is booked up tomorrow and Monday, and school starts back for me on Tuesday, so Wednesday is the first day available for more showings. We shall see!
Today I did something crazy, something I didn't think I'd do until we had a house. Today I accepted a plea of fostering 3 bottle fed kittens for the next 3 weeks. They'll need bottle feeding every 3-4 hours, and I'm sure our adult cats won't be thrilled, but I couldn't say no. I'll be getting them on Monday.
I also got my Fitbit Flex today! Woohoo! I can't wait to see what it says after my workout tomorrow. Oh and also, my in-laws commented several times on how much weight I'd lost, so that was nice. They noticed last month when we were at a wedding, and yesterday said it looked like I'd lost even more since then (which I have ). My mother in-law also passed on several pairs of jeans and shorts to me that don't fit her anymore, and they happen to be size 6's. They're high wasted, so that makes a difference as far as fitting better, but still. Haha. One pair is low-rise cut and so they are my new "goal" jeans, because I need to lose another half inch or so to fit into them well. I wore a size 30/33 jeans yesterday and they fit nicely, they're a really nice pair/brand of jeans my mom passed down to me several years ago when they got too small for her. It was really nice fitting into those again after many years. I had a very high calorie day today, but back to normal tomorrow. I'm thinking if I still see a loss again on Friday, I might make it a regular "allowance" to have a free-range day each Saturday. We'll see. I'm eager to get back on track and in the gym tomorrow though.
I hope everyone had a lovely Saturday. Keep your spirits high.

Good morning, losers! Happy Sunday!
Just peeking in. I slept late so did not get to church. I guess I needed the rest
Marie..I'm sure you're going to be logging in soon getting your new computer set up.
Have a great day, all!

I thought I would say hi to everyone feeling alittle better today, I went to the grocery, and bought some vegetables and neccessities. I just made a big salad for supper and we're going to have grilled chicken, and maybe a baked potato. I weighed today after not since Monday and I am still in 170's, I wasnt sure how having a cold would effect me, even though I was still logging my food. I was still hungry even more so since I was feeling bad. Last night I gave in and went over on a 200 calorie cupcake, I had been craving something sweet. I really wanted brownies, but I figured that could lead to trouble for me, I will make them for Fathers Day, when the kids come over and that way they will be eaten, and not mainly by me. Well I gotta go, have a good week. Janice0

Hi everyone it's been a while since I posted...but it doesn't mean I haven't been reading all your posts! ;-)
The last 2 months have been pretty tough gaining and losing the same 4lbs still...on the bright side though I haven't given up I've come too far to throw it all away!
I start today the same weight I was 2 months ago so fingers crossed I see a shift in the scales in the south direction!
Have a good week everyone
Faye0 -
I been having fun today
just checking to see If I could post a glitter message and come back here to post it and look like I did yippee
Marie0 -
I'm so happy for you, Marie! It's good that posting can be fun again for you.
Janice, I hope you're feeling 100% again soon!
Faye, kick that scale's butt!
Connie, get all the rest you need, it helps!
Sounds like you had a nice relaxing day, Nancy.
I stayed busy today, had some good gym time, and got a lot of cleaning done. I get my foster babies tomorrow, and I start back at school on Tuesday, and we have house showings on Wednesday, and then school again Thursday and Friday, and then going to the in-laws again on Saturday. So I needed to get that cleaning done while I could! Going to be very busy these next few weeks. It's good though.
I'm loving my Fitbit. The sleep monitoring is pretty neat, and the step/calorie counter is pretty cool too. It's saying I burn enough calories to eat almost 2,200 calories a day and still lose weight every week, but I do not trust that! Think I'll stick with what's been working, though I'm considering upping my calories to 1,500 a day in a week.
Hope everyone has a great Monday tomorrow! Let's all make it count.

Morning Losers,
I had a great week of losing but alas the weekend away with eating and drinking and we had chinese food last night.
I did not get on the scale this morning because of sodium. I was not feeling great today so I passed on Yoga class and
maybe a walk later. It rained last night and its cloudy and gloomy out today.
Our cruise weekend was fun and I didn't overdue eating and everyone had fun. We did get into a bit of trouble on the
way home. Our motor quit on our sailboat and we had to be towed into our sailing club. We were just under 3 miles out.
We towed in by dingy and a motor. A new experience for both of us. Tying a dingy to the side of the boat and
motoring in by dingy. I started at the helm and Dave was in the dingy and then we switched as we got closer
to docking the boat. I wasn't sure I could do that so I went into the dingy. It was stressful but we made it in safe and
sound. It poured rain after we got in and we never got a chance to eat lunch so we stayed and had a sandwich and
then packed up to go home.
I will be packing again today for a week at our family cottage and I will have NO WiFi so I will not be able to
communicate until I get back. The cottage is in Northern Ontario on a lake. I may go into the city and use
Tim Horton's cafe Wi Fi to check in we will see.
I will be seeing my grandson on the way there and back so that will be a great chance for a hug and a kiss.
So take care until I return and be mindful this week and good luck on the weight lifting.

Look like we are getting a slow start here this morning Marie

Good morning, losers! Happy Monday!
Marie..glad to see you are back in action!
Faye..good to see you, too!
Ray..awww kittens!
Nancy..lazy days of doing what you want when you want are wonderful, aren't they?
Janice..glad you are feeling better.
It's gonna be a hot one here so Cooper and I got out early. I did not have to drag him out from under the bed so maybe he getting used to early morning walking. Even so, the humidity does a job on him so when he's ready to come back, I don't force him to go farther. No pool for me today..exercise at home for a change!
Make it a great day, losers!
Connie0 -
Good Morning Everyone,
Hope you had a great weekend.
Plan on getting my exercise today and doing some house cleaning.
Have a good day.
Nancy0 -
It's a drizzly morning in what is usually a sunny Singapore today!! Fingers crosses it clears up
Today is my 130th login - I have surprised even myself. I think I have truly found something I like and that works for me! Thanks to you all for making it so easy to keep coming back!
I have a gym session today for my exercise and I have pre-ordered a tuna and beatroot salad for my lunch with honey mustard vinaigrette ;-)
Shirley - your boating experiences sound like a great adventure even when they do go wrong!
Have a good day losers

Honey........ I'm home!!!!!!!! It was an awesome ferry ride home. Stayed under calories every day but didn't do much for exercise. Logged over 10000 steps in Friday and Saturday due to shopping. So now back to "normal". Got the car unloaded. Took 3 hours to get everything from the car where it belongs. We had 5 flats of fresh strawberries that we cleaned and vacuum packed for freezing. That way we have fresh berries year round. Then we had Costco stuff to put away. So needless to say I got a workout just from coming home. And then to top everything off it is 73 here at home. And for us locals yes that is hot. My ankles are really swollen because of that but they will feel better after I get the chance to get back to the swimming pool tomorrow.
Esther0 -
Welcome home, Esther! I need to save up some grocery money and hit up a Costco soon. And all those berries sound good!
Faye, that salad sounds good!
Shirley, that sounds like quite the adventure! And have fun with family "off the grid".
Connie, my foster kittens are tiny little squeakers. My two cats don't know what to think about this situation.
Marie, I hope you'll continue to see good progress on your plan.
Hope you had a good day, Nancy!
I had originally thought I'd be fostering 3 kittens, but turns out it's only 2. It makes it easier that way for sure. They're only about 10 days old so they're quite distraught during feedings, crawling all over and finding it hard to focus on where the milk is coming from. We managed to get them fed though and they're sleeping now. I'll feed them again around 1:00 a.m. and then I'll be up again at 5:00 a.m. for another feeding. They'll be on a 4 hour feeding schedule. It will be interesting! Haha. In the end though it's all worth it, and I'm sure I'll have a hard time letting them go.

We're at 110 out here with extreme advisory for 113. I am indoors as much as possible, usually until September. That's why I bought a recumbant bike, to offset the outside walking I won't do during Summer. Heat sucks the life out of me and I retain so much water, but I have to keep hydrating or I'll get headaches, grumpiness and fatigue. I'm pretty sure that's why the scale is same this week as last when I was 1.5 down just on Sunday.
I'm glad I log. I know my food and things are steady not high, so it's just water. Without logging I'd probably quit.0 -
@Eninad
" Without logging I'd probably quit." Without logging and paid for personal training, I know I would quit. LOL
Marie..We are about 2.5 hours from Myrtle Beach. High today..1040 -
My spouse reminded me that even though I'm within calories, my sodium over the last few days has been higher, plus I did harder biking, so he's not concerned in the slightest. Muscles, water, salt... retention is real, the weight is not. I'm just tired of seeing 207.
I need to remind myself how elated I was when I first saw it though. I was over the moon.
"Oh my goodness 207!!! WOW, can you believe I'm at 207??!!!
...I believe it, move along now body! Hahahahaha. Perspective, trying to get some.0 -
Well gang. I am so proud of myself. I had all you can eat buffets twice while I was gone. And for 36 hours there is really nothing to do but eat sleep and read or crochet in my case while on the ferry. The steel decks are really hard on normal joints so I really have a very difficult time walking on board. But I actually lost a pound while I was gone!!!!!!!!!! I was 238 before I left but I didn't change my weight on MFP because I expected to gain the few pounds back. So I am officially logging in my weight at 237 today. I didn't exactly make the best choices of food and I ate back most of my exercise calories while gone but I still stayed under calorie while gone. I had to hit a Dairy Queen at least ones. And my girls wanted to go to KFC. Plus all you can eat Chinese food and prime rib buffet doesn't help either. But overall I think I did really good. And Marie I just heard on the radio there is a tropical storm headed for Texas. Keep your rubber boots close by.

Good Afternoon Ladies,
Just getting home from a very busy day. I am on the Memorial Meals Committee at my church and we had a Funeral Friday
and one today. It is usually about 5 hours of work but is very rewarding as the families seem to enjoy sitting down and visiting
with their family as we serve the meal.
Well on a happy note I was down .9 lb. this morning. Was good to see the scales in my favor today. I believe that is my lowest
so far. Have not done anything different other than a little more intense exercise as Connie suggested. It is a slow go for me but I
plan to be here for as long as it takes and then maintainance!!!
Connie, Hope you make it ok in that heat!!! Think about you so often!!!
Marie it is good to see you back with your posts on your new computer.
Esther, You are so amazing!!! If I could lose weight like you do I would do a happy dance.
Rachel, Good luck with your kittens. You are a special person to take on that job.
Nancy
