    Morning all, it's a weird morning. I had to get my DH to the airport today. He is going to IL. It was a smaller airport in a local town..{cheaper flight}. So no bike ride today...hopefully treadmill later. I did track..2 days in a row..LOL

    @roz0810 I like your positive attitude.

    @trooworld Thanks for the recipe..not sure my body will thank you..LOL

    @TeresaW1020 I bet you are gonna look hot this fall..I love the change in seasons...just to change my clothes..

    @theslightedgeforever your kids just like you to visit just so you'll buy groceries.

    @gemwolf110 I like crustless quiche which is really good for me.

    @teresaw1020 On the scale issue, I had quit weighing daily and just did Mondays and Thursdays before I went on this looooooooooooong vacation. (making up for 2020 lol) But I do like being able to check in and now I really don't know which gives me some anxiety. Part of me thinks I'll go back to MN and be up 10 lbs. Then other part thinks that I've been cutting things in half while at the same time indulging, so maybe it will all work itself out. I want to get some groceries tomorrow since ds has NOTHING in the house. So I'll go back to my salads, fruit and cheese for snacks, etc. I'll be here for about 12 more days. Exercise: I got lots while I was in New England through walking everywhere and I made it to a hotel gym one day when we did alot of driving. I did a 15 min walk today in the mall and I'm planning to do some youtube videos because it's supposed to rain for the next 4 days. I may do some more mall walking we'll see. He has a gym in his building but I really hate exercising in the mask and Houston has too many covid cases for my liking. He lives on first floor so I don't mind doing exercise videos in his apartment. Dd is on second floor and the neighbors downstairs don't like noise. :/ So I tolerate the mask at her gym. I did buy me a couple of gym outfits at TJ Maxx so when I finally get home I can use my own gym and look cute. ha I'm hoping it motivates me. Isn't shopping fun when you can walk into regular stores and buy stuff that looks good on our bodies.

    @trooworld I did like the crab dip. Surprisingly. I'm the same as your hubby. I don't like the consistency of flaked coconut so I pulverize it in my food processor to tiny bits.

    @roz0810 That's great that you are drinking plenty of water.

    @roz0810 That should help. Drinking water is always good!

    @cbabie That's a good start. Keep it up! No, I don't think your body will thank me for that recipe lol.

    @theslightedgeforever That's a good idea to do for coconut.

    @gemwolf110 LOL! So cute! Where do YOU sit? Fingers crossed your foot is healing properly.

    Hello all. I got an automated call while I was at work yesterday that they are going to deliver our Tonal (gym) on Friday. Luckily that day works for us. I'm hoping that the space we have picked out for it works. I'm very excited!

    @gemwolf110 good luck, all the best

    @trooworld definitely. I was 0.2lbs down and no gain so I'm happy with that 😊

    @theslightedgeforever thank you. it surely helps.

    So it was my birthday 2 weeks ago and I just received some late birthday presents from my sister. A beautiful bracelet with my name on and birthstone, a photo frame and a chocolate shaped dick 😂 no idea on the calories but it was good 😂

    I didn't get any exercise yesterday and today isn't looking good either. But I did clean floors and wiped the kitchen cabinets..LOL

    @trooworld I bet you are excited for Friday. I hope you LOVE it.

    @gemwolf110 Love the picture, hope all goes well at the doctor

    @theslightedgeforever I think you are doing great

    @cbabie I getting to switch out my clothes too. This weekend I am going to reorganize my closet so that the fall/winter stuff is front and center. Now the weather around here just needs to cooperate! :D

    @theslightedgeforever It sounds like you have a good plan while staying with your son. And hey, even if you do come home with a gain, you have had a great time traveling and you know how to get it off. Cute outfits are a good idea! I’ve been working out in the same shorts and tank tops and they are way too big on me now, so maybe it’s time to shop for that as well. :grin:

    @gemwolf110 I just want to come over and snuggle on your sofa with those babies!!! <3<3

    @trooworld I am so excited for you and your new Tonal. I can’t wait to hear all about it! :grin:

    @roz0810 Happy birthday and it sounds like we have sisters with the same kind of sense of humor!! :D


    Hello! Today was a good day. My staff meeting this morning was very productive and we are starting to work on ideas on renovations for our sanctuary, which it’s needed badly!! I really hope our people get on board with their agreement…and their money! :grin: Workout today was church cleaning and my eating was good. I finished this month’s no sugar challenge really happy with my progress. Here is my little graphic that I made to keep track. Tomorrow, I’m starting a month-long Stop Eating CRAP (carbonated drinks, refined sugar, artificial foods, and processed foods). I don’t expect to be 100% next month but I do hope that having a challenge will keep me mindful on most days.

    And good news foot is healing like it’s supposed to and doc said I can give Zumba a try whoohoo. If foot starts hurting wait 2 weeks and try again :-) and I so love the floof. Plenty of snuggles to go around. They are sending virtual snuggles. Lol yeah they sometimes save me a spot or just lay in my lap.

    @roz0810 Happy belated birthday!!! HAHAHA about the chocolate! The other presents sound very thoughtful.

    @cbabie That's still exercising! I am excited for today. I just hope everything goes okay.

    @TeresaW1020 I am excited, too! :D Fingers crossed you can get the money for your renovation. I'm looking forward to doing the CRAP but for me, it will be more like RP because you know I have to have my spritzer at night and it has diet soda in it. Also, I love to drink carbonated water. And I do put Splenda in my coffee. So hence the RP! :D You did great on the No Sugar challenge.

    @gemwolf110 Yay! That's great news. Your pups are too cute!

    Hello all. Today is the day! They are coming between 1-5 and my anxiety is really high because they are going to call me 30 minutes prior to coming and my husband wants me to ask them if they will wait for 5 minutes once arriving because I'll be picking him up. I really want him to just take a Lyft home so I will be here when they arrive but he's being stubborn. :(

    Hi All, I ran around the house with baby girl chasing me...only exercise yesterday. It rained here, can't believe we are still getting rain...My eating not so good, but today is 10/1 and my statement is you can do anything in 90 days..so 90 days it is. I am learning more about when and why I eat RAP..(I don't drink anything but water so no C.LOL so I guess am now a rapper.. :open_mouth:

    @trooworld I am praying that timing all works out and your anxiety levels are lower...I am so excited for you.

    @TeresaW1020 Love that graphic..great job!!!

    @gemwolf110 Your yard looks peaceful....yea on the go ahead to try zumba again.. I was just looking at pictures of when I broke my wrist remembering how it felt not being able to really wash my hair, or shave...LOL I remember trying to get out of the tub right afterwards...(couldn't get it wet) no weight on it...I thought I was going to have to stay in the tub or have paramedics pull. me out and be embarrassed. . So now I don't take those things for granted..LOL

    @gemwolf110 Yaaay for the healing foot and you can begin zumba again. I remember when my knee got better and I could return to some stuff. I still have some problems with bending it though like in child's pose. I guess more stretching is needed.

    @trooworld So Friday is almost finished, is the Tonal in your house? RP. LOL

    @roz0810 Yaaay on the weight loss. Happy Birthday I have so many good jokes I could share about your recent chocolate, but I'll be nice and keep them to myself. ;)

    @cbabie Did you get any exercise in today? Mopping floors can be exercise. It's rained here the entire week.

    @teresaw1020 Very cute little chart. You have done well and your CRAP chart will be just as cute. I don't think my sister has the same sense of humor. :p I would be the one sending it to her. Love you@cbabie.

    I spent the day at NASA. We took a tour of Mission Control what it looked like in the 60s and got to see the astronauts training center. Then your basic museum type stuff.

    😂 everyone's been laughing their heads off at it. I thought it was hilarious too hehe.

    ok so the last week I've been weighing in daily. I'll go back to weekly, Thursdays, from tomorrow because I want to focus on my eating and water intake still. also my first few weeks I normally see a big loss when I weigh weekly even though I do like to keep an eye on things sometimes. I think it'll be better for me

    @cbabie I would think that a baby chasing you would be pretty good exercise lol! LOL about the rapper. Thank you so much, it all worked out: they called 10 minutes before arriving so no time to pick up hubby, he had to take a Lyft! :D

    @theslightedgeforever I'm so glad it's the weekend. Yep, the Tonal is installed now! That sounds fun, to go to NASA.

    @roz0810 My MIND tends to do better when I weigh in weekly. If I weigh in daily, it sometimes plays tricks on me. However, I've been weighing in weekly for a while now and all I am doing is gaining so I may switch back, I don't know. Congrats on the NSV, that's awesome!

    Hi all. First, the Tonal was installed but I have to get rid of some stuff for it to function properly, there is stuff in the way. I am going to do that today. Now about my weigh-in today. I gained nearly 3 lbs. I almost cried. I've gained 6 WEEKS in a row now, I haven't lost any weight since August. I am beyond upset, I'm embarrassed because I am supposed to be a "Motivator" for the Fat2Fit team, Mission Slimpossibles, but all I am doing is gaining so I feel like a total fraud. I know what the problem is, it's two-fold:
    1) I'm going over my calories every day and have been since before I quit WW.
    2) I'm not tracking 100% honestly and even if I were, I'd be going over the calories.
    I need to bring healthier snacks into the house. And I need to stick with my food plan. I'm sorry to be so negative on a Saturday, but there it is.

    Morning all, I went for a walk last night. I had to fight babygirl to do it. SHE WANTED TO WALK on her own. It was night time so I told her NOT. We finally got the stroller and turned my phone on to the Detty Sisters...she loves to sing and watch them ....So that was yea for me. I got over 10K in steps total for the day. Eating a little too much sugar and fat..

    @trooworld I don't consider your post negative..it's where you are and you are confronting. That is how you will get back to what you were doing with your loss. I thought your post was positive. I too have been over and just going back and forth with those 2 lbs..Here is what I know..YOU CAN do anything in 90 days. Go to what you know works...it's not about WW, it's about tracking and making choices. How do I say this? I say this to myself!!! So @TeresaW1020 and I might be like sisters in our personalities...LOL but you and I are sisters in our tracking..so lets do this!!! Me and my blood sister...not so much alike. LOL

    @theslightedgeforever sounds like a fun trip. Not sure if you remember when we lived in FL taking all of the people who came to see us to NASA all the time? I loved going, I loved being able to see the shuttles take off. Yucky about the rain.

    @roz0810 Great job on the loss, weight and inches.. I have a "little" piece of paper that has my measurements on it from 2003...I don't want to take my measurements now...I know I would CRY..LOL

    Happy Saturday all,

    Finally was able to mow the front yard. It’s on a hill so I have been nervous about doing it until my doctor cleared that. Mowing and raking 6 weeks worth of grass is a workout. Will have to do back yard now that is 4 times the size of the front and riddled with husky holes. I’ll be going slow and very careful. Got a lot of errands done today as well. HelloFresh came in so planning on cooking that all up tomorrow.

    @theslightedgeforever thats soo cool about going to NASA.

    @roz0810 haha that’s hilarious. I think that’s too funny. If it were me I don’t think I could eat it. I’d probably store that in the fridge. Awesome NSV!

    @trooworld i hear ya. I need better snack. Doesn’t help that it’s October and all the Halloween and holiday candy is everywhere. Tracking is tough! You’ll have to keep us all updated on the tonal machine. Sounds interesting.

    @cbabie great job on the walk I need to start walking now. Perfect weather for both the pups and me.

    @cbabie Yes, you can do anything for 90 days so do it!! Be the rapper you know you can be! :grin: Good job on getting in those 10,000 steps!

    @theslightedgeforever how fun that you got to go to NASA! I was supposed to go one day when I was living in Florida but a stupid hurricane changed our plans and I never did go. I would love to know what it feels like to be weightless. :grin:

    @roz0810 Nice loss!! And losing inches and getting noticed for your weight loss are such great feelings too. Keep it up! B)

    @gemwolf110 I’m glad that the doctor gave you the go-ahead to get back to normal activities like mowing your yard. You just be careful with those holes!! :o


    @trooworld I hear you about the CRAP challenge. I have no intentions of giving up my sparkling waters or the occasional Coke Zero. Plus, I LOVE my G Hughes sauces and those have artificial sugars. So, I’m with you and will focus on the RP portion of the challenge. ;)

    I am sorry that you are having such a struggle right now with your weight. I want you to know that you are NOT letting us on the Slimpossibles down and you have nothing to be embarrassed about! <3 I’ve been keeping a detailed spreadsheet of my weight since January 2017, and I’ve gone 6 months or more at times with more gains than losses. Losing weight is hard and it takes so much of our energy to make progress. You have a great new incentive with the Tonal and I think you can use that as a real jumping-off point. And while you are upping your exercise you can work on your nutrition at the same time.

    As for tracking and staying under your calorie goal, you have to start thinking of it as a job. If tracking was a part of your day job and your boss expected you to do it, I bet you would do it and do it VERY well. Right? So, become your own boss! And yeah, you have to get strict with what you allow in your home to eat. I honestly have no junk food in my house because if I did, I would eat it. I also think if you could make your meals fully satiating you could give up the snacking. Or at least most of the snacking. Giving your body time between meals to let your insulin drop will tap into your fat stores and that is what you want. Snacks are almost never about hunger, but always about an emotional response. If you are truly hungry for a snack then having something like an apple or broccoli would sound and taste good. I believe in you! :)


    Hello! Well, the movie on the lawn was a huge success last night. Except our new popcorn machine decided to freeze up so they ran to the store and bought a bunch of microwave popcorn. So, that needs to be dealt with. :# I really didn’t enjoy sitting outside in the dark watching little boys chase and catch bugs, but I made it to the end, and then I was out of there. I went back up this morning to make sure the bathrooms were clean for tomorrow. :grin: Today was all about housework while DH has been glued to his football games. I think I’m going to go plant myself right now in front of the TV and watch some General Hospital. :)

    Hi all...I have still been around, just not on the desktop computer that much & I really hate typing much on the I-pad. But I have been reading & following along, lol.

    @trooworld Wow, I am excited for you & the Tonal. That seems like it would be so cool to exercise with. I tried not weighing daily for a month as an experiment, but don't think it was successful. I don't think I could get my mind in "losing mode", so more or less maintained. I am back to weighing daily. I try to log all my food everyday, even when I go over, so not sure how to motivate you there. To me, I guess it is just data..unfortunately it doesn't make me feel guilty when I go over, lol. I do occasionally miss logging, especially when with dd or have company here, but at least try to log something. (Of course, when I do that it usually means a gain) I use my food scale all the time when just dh & I, so I think I am pretty good at eyeballing when not able to use it. I am embarrassed to say how long I have been on MFP trying to lose the same 15#!!

    @roz0810 nice loss....losing inches is great, too

    @theslightedgeforever Glad you are having fun in TX. I think we went to NASA when we visited FL when the kids were little. I saw you waving & waved back..hope you saw me! :) Hope you enjoyed our State Fair..we passed on it this year, lol.

    @cbabie Good job with your biking & steps! It is always seems harder for me to get the steps when with the gkids.

    @gemwolf110 Your dogs are gorgeous & the white one reminded me of our last dog. Glad your foot is doing so well!

    @TeresaW1020 The CRAP challenge sounds interesting..might have to try it, although I think I have already blown 2 days. Oh well, need to try to do better, not perfection, lol. You asked about our pumpkins...we planted almost as many as last year, but I think it was too dry for them, & the weeds always get away from us! One day, I thought I found about 10...so excited to find any...but a few weeks later, they were all rotten. We got ZERO pumpkins this year!! So sad! I think this will be the last year planting them there, might try a few plants here so we can water them.

    Since I have been here, my bil came down with Covid. (I don't think he & my sister got the vaccine) Surprisingly she tested negative 3 times. He was having some breathing issues with it, so was given inhalers, but I guess he is pretty much back to normal now. Did not have to be hospitalized. Not sure if they will get the vaccine now, or not. I am anxiously awaiting my "booster" shot, tho.

    After my no weighing month, I think I am finally in the right mental place to stick to my plan. Hope so..guess time will tell!

    Have a great week!!

    @roz0810 I used to like to weigh daily but now twice a week works for me but I've been away from my scale since September 18th so who knows. Hooray on your NSV. Those are the best.

    @trooworld Awareness is the first step, so they say. So you are aware of why you are gaining weight so now you can make a plan to fix it. So 1) bring healthy snacks into the house 2) track everything no matter if going over 3) go back and analyze your meals from the past 6 weeks and see how you could reduce your calories? Are you going back for seconds? Taking too big of a portion? Are there trigger foods you are eating? See if you can spot any patterns.

    @cbabie Yaaaay for finding a solution that allowed you to walk. I have measurements back from 83. My thighs are almost as big as my as my waist. I do remember NASA as a child. Mom loved space stuff. I was telling the family that as I went through NASA. Hubby was a kid. I would have just as well sat and read my kindle. I did that actually while they were in the gift shop. Some guy came over and said, You've got the right idea and sat down next to me.

    @teresaw1020 Yes, you could be my sister from another mister. You're just like cbabie in some regards.

    @gemwolf110 Mowing the grass is quite a workout. Sounds like you have your food plan in place for the week.

    @retiredandlovingit I guess just shoot for one lb loss. When you do that, focus on the next one. Getting your mind in place is the most important part. I did enjoy your state fair. I double masked just to be safe around the crowds. We were there on the last day. I kept thinking of you when I was in Vermont and New Hampshire and would see all the pumpkins. Sorry about your bil. I need to get my 2nd shingles shot in the next couple of weeks and finally get that out of the way.

    @cbabie Baby girl sounds so independent. I don't blame you for not letting her walk by herself. That's great you got over 10K steps. Thank you re: my post. I definitely have to turn it around. You are right, it's about tracking HONESTLY and MAKING CHOICES (I'm emphasizing that to myself!!!). I need to make better choices. Let's do this!

    @gemwolf110 Oh that doesn't sound fun. But I'm sure you are glad you got it done. Yeah that Halloween candy is everywhere. Ironically, it's not the candy I get into, it's savory snacks, and also since it is fall, I feel like baking. The Tonal...yes, I plan on trying it this morning. I'm very excited!

    @TeresaW1020 Thank you so much! <3 That's encouraging to know that you have had periods like this and you came out on the other side and are almost at goal. Yes, if tracking were part of my job, I would do it to a "T". You are right about the snacks. Thank you! Well, that stinks that the popcorn machine didn't work. I'm glad you found a way to get popcorn to the masses anyway and it was a success!

    @RetiredAndLovingIt Yeah, I think I will start weighing daily again. I am excited about the Tonal, too! I just need to buckle down and log everything. I did yesterday, I did well tracking. There is no deadline to lose weight, just keep plugging along and you'll lose that 15 lbs! :D I'm sorry to hear about your BIL. I am anxiously awaiting my booster shot too. I'm not taking any chances, no way!

    @theslightedgeforever I did not buy a bunch of snacks yesterday so that was progress. I am not going back for seconds or taking too big of a portion, I looked back over last week and part of the problem is that darned apple cake that my husband made for my birthday. I had a piece of that most every day. It was also the Cajun Seafood Pasta Alfredo made for my birthday dinner and lunch the next day. But there are holes in the log, like the peanuts I had and didn't track. So that's a problem, too. And the fact that I'm not drinking enough water.

    Thank you all for your encouraging and helpful responses! I really appreciate them. I'm going to work on honest tracking for the DATA it gives me. I didn't buy a bunch of snacks but I did buy 2 small bags of our favorite Trader Joe's corn chips. I'm going to just have to make a decision to stay out of them. I might need to go to the store and get some healthy snacks. I do have like 3 apples and maybe a cheese stick or two. I am going to try the Tonal this morning. I can't wait. I love that it is at my home and I don't have to drive somewhere and deal with parking. I don't even have to get dressed if I really wanted to just workout in my pjs!

    @gemwolf110 I'm loving your good morning graphics. I don't see them til the evening, but they are so pretty.

    @trooworld Did you enjoy your tonal workout this morning? Yaaay on not buying snacks. Why not plan for your Trader Joe's corn chips in your day. Do you plan on never eating them again? Something in my current book resonated with me...."If you can’t imagine eating a certain way for the rest of your life, don’t bother doing it for even a day." So plan out the corn chips; enjoy them without the guilt. Work your other meals/calories around them so you can stay within your boundaries making them healthy and nutritious.

    I need to work on staying within my boundaries. Tracking is never the problem. It's just become a habit. Knowing I have to report my numbers to you all and then two other groups. I work best when preplanning but being out of my home routine seems to make it harder than it should be. But I'm enjoying my kids for now. Water needs work. But having a hard time focusing on more than one habit at a time. I know I still lost weight without the water. It just would have been easier. I bought me some Mio to go in there. That seems to help for a bit but then it doesnt.

    @theslightedgeforever Well, funny story about that, I'll tell you below to everyone but yes, I did. No, I plan on eating some but I tend to get into them when I am hungry and that's when I don't do good portion control. I guess when I am hungry like that, I need to pick a different snack like grapes or something. You need to work on staying within your calorie boundaries or something else? I hear you on water, that is my constant struggle.

    @IWillCommit42Days4Change Hi and welcome! There are groups that exist on MFP but they are really through chat threads.

    Hi all. Well, exciting news, I did my first Tonal workout yesterday morning. HOWEVER, during it, I got an explosive migraine and had to stop. It was awful, I was laid out for the day with it. Several things were the cause of this migraine: I already had the beginnings of a headache when I started, I was dehydrated, and it was hot. I don't expect it to be a regular thing to get a migraine while using the Tonal but I am taking today off to make sure that the migraine is gone. I am including two pictures: one is my starting strength score and the other is how much I lifted during my 40-minute workout session. I honestly loved it until my head exploded. It was easy to use and fun. Eating was okay yesterday, I ended the day with a deficit although I'm up on the scale today because I had pasta salad for lunch yesterday and pizza rolls for dinner. Have a good day!

    My phrase for the year: CHANGE HAPPENS

    @trooworld I am glad that you enjoyed the Tonal and I love the scoring they use. That should really help you stay motivated to improve your scores. What a shame you had that terrible migraine! I sure hope you feel better today. My scale is up to this morning and I know it’s from eating too much. Dang, my tasty cooking!! :grin:

    @theslightedgeforever I woke up thinking about boundaries too and how I need to work on them if I ever plan to actually get to a goal weight. We can never get too complacent, can we? :/


    Good morning! I’m up and posting because I have a busy day and didn’t want to forget later on or be too tired. After my workout and grocery shopping, I plan to spend the day in my closet sorting and reorganizing. I need to try on a bunch of stuff and see if it’s a keeper or not. Yesterday, I cleaned out my drawers and jewelry box. I do love it when everything is super organized. I just need to learn to keep it up. :grin: I woke up with the scale up a pound and I know it’s simply because I keep eating too big a portion. I way overate dinner and I wasn’t even that hungry when I sat down to eat. So, I’m going to flip the switch and become hyper-focused on accurate tracking and cut the calories, which will obviously cut my portion sizes down. I want to get below 175 lbs. this week!! :#
