    @jenthibert congrats on smaller clothes. I need new sneakers, but tax free weekend for clothing is the first week in August, so I am waiting.
    @bbinoa - yes, the balloons were here for Funfest, which is a 40 summer festival with stuff for kids and concerts and yummy food vendors and also the Crazy 8s Road Race, which had the world's fasted 8k until 2 years ago. Last night the Band Perry performed and we had fireworks for the finale.
    @Rebamae - glad the streaking is paying off in scale movement downward. Way to go!
    @2marsh - good luck juggling school and wedding planning.

    7/18 - green
    16/25
    Still streaking at 15

    Green, yep!
    Total 17/27.
    Finally saw the scale moving downward again after a month. Yippee! I usually access MFP on my phone but was on it from my computer yesterday. Has anyone else looked at the reports tab? I was comparing my weight loss trends and when I saw the most downward trend to my calorie intake. Good stuff.

    Sounds like everyone has had a good weekend... lots of green, new smaller clothes, lower scale numbers (teens!) sweaty runs, streaking, travelling, balloons, wedding planning... did I miss anyone? Happy Sunday all!

    Ps... the yard now looks fantastic - ha!

    18/25 (somewhere along the way I lost count, but it's actually 18 days, not 17. I think I counted a Chevy day as a red.)
    Streaking at 16.

    @bbinoa - I haven't used it as much at maintenance but I love the reports tab. Think I'll go check it out again.

    It was a wonderful day but long. I was able to complete a walk/run combo today, but it wasn't easy. It was hot out.

    17th: ✔️, 18th: ✔️, 19th:✔️

    Saturday and Sunday - feel like I've cheated. Green days and a scale drop. Picked up a bug from my 7 mth old grandson and literally spent the weekend in bed sleeping, feeling nauseous, and certainly unable to eat! DH at the side of me with a diluted symptoms. So I wasn't even being nursed and nurtured!
    I've actually managed to have my porridge this morning but I don't feel up to my Pilates class or doing any strength training.

    @Rebamae - excellent news of a scale victory! Green streaks seem to be the way to go!!!
    @Laughter_Girl - glad your back home and getting out on your bike
    @bbinoa - a bloke trick with the lawnmower I think, LOL, to do a task soooooo badly . . . . we rarely get chance to turn the tables. Congrats on your scale victory . . . . . and a better looking lawn. I checked the reports - hadn't realised it had changed . . . preferred the look of net calories to calories though.
    @jenthibert - new walking shoes (old ones worn out by exercise) AND smaller clothes (old ones surplus can't be worn out due to shrinking body) . . . . a great NSV
    @MelissaPhippsFeagins - what fab balloons! Excellent green streak too.

    Hope everyone had a good weekend.

    ETA: streak currently at 7

    Good morning on this Marvelous Monday! B)

    We had a very strong wind storm come through last night. There was an actual hook on the radar so we are thinking more than just straight-line winds :s We are very fortunate that we only lost tree limbs. :o Lots of cleaning up for my guys today. We had limbs in our yard from a tree about 200 feet west.
    All of the electricity poles south of us were broken for 3/4 mile. More down on south and east of us. Many farms are without electricity today. We are fortunate ours came back on before we went to bed. :p

    So, that is my excuse for mindless eating last night. :s

    I stayed green but oh so very close to seeing red.

    green = 17*/31
    red = 02
    Streak = 4
    Streak goal =10

    I hope each of you have a marvelous Monday.

    I had to go back and count my Green days. I was off, but I've got it straight now. Today was just a strength training day. I may try for a run tomorrow morning.

    @k80flec I hope you are starting to feel better. Those little kids can get you every time. :)
    @Rebamae Glad your family and home were safe!
    @bbinoa I hear spinning is a great way to burn some calories. I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my things to do.
    @MelissaPhippsFeagins You're on a streaking roll. Keep it up!
    @jenthibert I know you'll do well tomorrow when you go out with the girls. Just remember to enjoy the company more than the food and drinks. Have fun!

    Has anyone else tried Yasso frozen greek yogurt bars? I'm a huge ice cream fanatic and these are amazing! 100 calories, 5 grams of protein. Ive tried salted caramel and chocolate chip cookie dough. Seriously taste like super creamy ice cream. Yum! :smiley:

    I'm definitely getting my stride back. It was a training day today so I did a quick run.

    @R_Queenie Have safe travels! Looking forward to a positive report.
    @Bruceapple You're streaking nicely. Way to get it done!
    @Rebamae Glad you're getting your stride back too! :)
    @2marsh It's challenging when you're extremely busy. Just try to take some time for you.
    @bbinoa I've never tried Yasso. I actually haven't seen it in the stores, but I'll now be in the lookout. I may give them a try.
    @jenthibert I KNEW you could do it!!! Good for you! I hope you enjoyed girl's night out.
