@theslightedgeforever - Nope - no exercise but felt satisfied. I was actually studying and I fell I achieved something. Competitive - Ihear you. I have a hearts game on the ipad and have names the 3 hands fom my family, so I play against them (in my mind). I turned off the exercise points from the fitbit appearing in my food diary last night, so I am no longer tempted to eat them
@trooworld - Hope your migraine is better. Well done on sharing
.
I was slicing carrotts last, missed the carrott, losts of blood, lost the top of the finger
Every time I knock it (and it seems every 2 min) - it starts throbbing again

Trooworld. Yaaaay on splitting fries. I’ve been counting out 10. Then cut those 10 in half so it looks like I have 20 fries. I had a bacon cheeseburger too this weekend I pulled off the crunchy onions and bun and just ate the meat
Trishastime. I used to play hearts like that too. I “played with my three best friends”. lol. I would play a hand and then get up and do something in my house then go back and play one more hand. Hmmmm I might have to see if there’s a Hearts game app for my phone. Ouch on your finger. I hope it’s okay
Daily check in. No sticker but did walk 37 min0 -
@TrishasTime yes, migraine is gone! Thanks! OUCH! I'm so sorry that happened. I've almost done that before. Did you have to go to the doctor?
@theslightedgeforever that's a great idea about the fries! I had about 10-14 fries. I was satisfied. Great job on the walk.
Hi all. Well, my migraine is gone but I've got other problems: it was a lovely day yesterday, probably 78F, and I was going out onto the patio off of our bedroom when I tripped over a small pile of clothes at the foot of our bed. I fell out the door and onto my face. I skinned up my leg really badly, and my hands a little bit. I'm in a lot of pain but didn't have to go to the doctor and didn't break anything thankfully. I just can't do any exercise for a while, I don't know how long but probably at least 3 days. I stood on my feet trying to do meal prep yesterday for 2 hours and that was a mistake: my leg throbbed and burned and I had to sit down. Other than that, I had a great day lol.0 -
Afternoon guys:
Sorry I have had another crazy weekend. I just got home, but it feels good to be out of the house doing something. I am not getting paid for what I am doing, but I am enjoying it. So that is good for my depression. You know one of the things I am facing is that I am under (by 1 lb) my lifetime goal at WW..I remember when I got there I felt so skinny. However, with life happenstances 3 years ago I lost another 30 lbs...now mind you I looked like death warmed over, but I loved the way I felt and how my clothes fit. So I have. been trying to get back there..well what happened to when I felt good at 1 more lb than I am currently at? Well my clothes are the smaller ones...and to be at a healthy weight, I realllyt need to lose 15-20 lbs. So I am working on being glad that I am still under my goal at WW, but know for my health I need to continue working on my habits and the foods I eat. So getting ready to log my food in and see what I have left for the day. I didn’t get to exercise this morning, but have 4400 steps right now...so it’s better than 300..LOL
@TrishasTime Oh no your finger, I hope it’s okay. I hate when I do something like that....someone in my family would say...that’s why I use a food processor..LOL. I say I like to chop... I hope you feel better soon and it stops throbbing. I also took off my exercise off my logging so I won’t eat them.
@trooworld I love that you are enjoying the new WW, I like to see people energized about their life and their goals. It creates an environment for success. Not just for you, but for others around you. Including this board!!
@theslightedgeforever Okay, you are selective about your competitiveness...LOL. In that case, I will get my steps ahead of you again..LOL
Okay guys, I have things I have to do , like log my food and write emails to my teachers at church. Have a great day.

@theslightedgeforever - yah on your walk - which is 37 min longer than min "grin". I normally take the dogs out but we are sufffering the effects from the cyclone here
@cbabie - I remember when I got my lifetime membership at WW - it seems a distance memory now but I am working hard to get back to it. I too felt really good. I have done 5666 steps today
@trooworld - I am sorry to hear that you tripped and then fell. Can you use a stool when doing meal prep? After 9 surgeries on my hip within a year, I relied on my stool and it was a blessing
Well the finger is still throbbing. I redressed it this morning. DH thinks I should go to the DR, but yeah I will see how it looks again in a few days. In the meantime I am keeping it clean and dry
0 -
@cbabie that is great that you are so close to the WW lifetime goal. Do you think it is realistic to lose another 15-20 lbs?
@TrishasTime I can't use a stool because our kitchen is so tiny, no room. But that is a great idea! Do not wait for that finger, please take care.
Hi all! Well, my leg is a mess. It hurts and is swollen. I came home from work at noon yesterday and rested it. I'm going to work today, hopefully I'll be able to stay all day. I wish I had some long skirts to wear so that my pants wouldn't rub on my leg but I don't. I think I may have one long skirt, but it needs leggings under it or everything shows.
so that defeats the purpose. Not getting any exercise in, and trying not to eat my feelings. 1 -
Morning!
I was over 395 calories yesterday...oh well I tracked...I also realized that Raisin Bran has to many carbs for what I get from it.
@trooworld I hope that leg gets to feeling better quickly! Please get it some rest..is it scrapes and bruises? Yes I do need to lose at least 10 lbs. When I created the goal and WW agreed to it, I thought it was a little to much weight on me, but they allowed that to me my goal. I am sure based on my age..LOL
@TrishasTime I have only done 3756 today. That included my walking with Leslie Simmons....It was a little chilly this morning, so I for sure didn’t want to go outside. I agree with Trooworld...please take care of your finger. My husband hates DR and he almost. Cut his little finger off with a chain saw...had my girls call me at. Work...REALLY? Why not call 911...he never went, had them pour some iodine and butterfly bandage it...I would have been take me to urgent care NOW..LOL
okay you all have a great day...I am doing some self reflection...I don’t want to repeat. 2017!!!
Cbabie0 -
@trooworld _ you ca buy some spray plastic skin to stop the rubbing (welly you can here in Aussie). You look after yourself too and try to be strong and not eat your feeling (says someone who did it a few days ago)
@cbabie - I manged 5726 steps, what sort of stop counter do you have? Do you use your phone, fitbit etc? It is nice to tell someone, then you become aware of the need to move
Pick up GD aged 3 from daycare esterday. As soon as she saw me she turned to one of the carers. My husband stepped into view and she did a 360 and literally flew into his arms. He is one of those adults kids adores.
Hope you all have a great day0 -
I'd like to join this thread, I left ww a few months this ago and have regained the 10lbs I lost. I cat afford ww at the moment, so hopefully this can give me the accountability factor
Start weight: 8st 13lbs
Goal weight: 8st 3lbs
Current weight: too scared too look0 -
@cbabie thanks! It's scraped and bruised really bad and swollen. Self reflection is good!
@TrishasTime I did better yesterday (although still went over my points a little). My husband is the same way--- I joke he's a movie star among kids, their face just lights up when they see him even kids that don't know him. For some reason, they just love him!
@hayleyb25 welcome, Hayley! We are glad you are here. Please come back often, as I get lonely some days when they leave me alone lol.
Hi all! Well, I found a dress in my closet that is long enough to cover up my mangled leg. I'll wear that to work today. I went to work yesterday and stayed until 1:30 which is longer than I lasted the day before. Maybe today I'll stay all day. Pants just bother my leg too much. I also saw, in my closet, two pairs of flowy palazzo pants that I can wear. So, I'm set for the week in clothes! Have a good day everyone!0 -
trooworld Glad your migraine is gone but boo for your leg. Do you need to go to the dr? On those days when we leave you all alone we are giving you space to self-reflect.
Okay weird, I just saw the word palazzo twice on two different sites. I own a black pair but always feel fat when I wear them.
cbabie You can lose this weight. Just like you did the last time I checked you are ahead of me again. Doesn't take much these days.
trishastime Are you at the same username on fitbit? Then you can beat cbabie So what are the effects of a cyclone. Although I'm sitting here wondering is a cyclone like a big tornado?
@hayleyb25 Welcome to our group. From your weight I see you are across the pond. I had an English friend once who taught me all about stones. Go look. It's just a number and starting place. You are more than that number on the scale. We can't change what we don't acknowledge. I'm in a stuck place it seems. Trying to get out of it. Are you following the new freestyle program?
I have been cleaning out storage closets for two days. When the declutter bug hits, I have to go with it. I hurt my back today from moving and lifting boxes. No exercise for me. Well other than all the lifting and moving I was doing.

I gained 2.7 this week
0 -
@theslightedgeforever no, there is nothing broken, just road rash and badly bruised. I bought some arnica gel for the bruising, and some Neosporin for the cuts and so far it seems like it's doing a bit better. That's true: I do self-reflect when I am here alone! hahaha yeah, palazzo pants can make you feel fat but I also feel a bit fancy when I wear them because mine are sparkly. I'm sorry that you hurt your back and that you gained. Back pain is the worst!
Hi all! Well, as expected, I had a gain this week but it isn't bad. I only gained 0.6 lbs. I'll sneeze and have that off! I think part of it is my leg is still swollen and traumatized from the fall. I'm not discouraged. At work, I think they didn't realize how bad my fall was, I think they thought I was being a bit of a baby and going home from work unnecessarily, so yesterday I was wearing a dress without pantyhose and I showed them my leg (it's on my lower part of my leg). Their mouths flew open and then it was obvious that they understood why I was leaving work early to elevate my leg and rest. Yesterday, I was able to stay all day though, which I was thankful for. Have a good day, everyone!0 -
Morning everyone
I had to look up what palazzo pants where, so you can I assume I have none. A cyclone is similar to a tornado, except it starts at see and as it gets stronger, it brings heavy deluge of rain as well as really strong winds. We get a lot in the North West Area of Australia.
@trooworld - Glad your work is more understanding now. Sorry about the gain,, but yes I agree it is probably the swelling.
@theslightedgeforever - take care of your back - one of the things that can take ages to repair. It is funny all you want to do is lay still but they say that is the worse thing for you
@hayleyb25 - Welcome - I only joined this group a few weeks ago. We talk in kgs here
Today is Friday -yah!!!0 -
@TrishasTime I forgot not everyone knows what palazzo pants are lol. Sorry!
Yes, work is more understanding now. Yay for Friday!
Hi all. Well, a colleague convinced me to go to the doctor yesterday and so I did. I have a blood clot in my leg with all the bruising and a possible infection in the scrape. The doctor said she wasn't too concerned at this point, but to be safe she is doing two ultrasounds to make sure that the blood didn't seep into any organs. I don't feel really well today, not sure if it is related to all of this or if I'm coming down with something. I'm supposed to go to dinner with a friend tonight, so hopefully I'll feel better today. Have a good day everyone!0 -
Morning!
Sorry guys, the last two days got away from me...I didn't track yesterday and it was not good, I felt terrible...but today I think I have found my favorite Leslie Sansone's video. It's tied to the American Heart Assoc. I am sweating and that is a good thing...out of breath...also another good thing.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=DYuw4f1c4xs&t=392s
@trooworld I am so sorry about your leg, but I am so glad you went to the DR....I had a mother of one of the girls in my MK group get the flu and she was gone in about a week...please keep watch on yourself.
Gals..I don't believe in scare tactics, but I believe in we should know our bodies, be aware and if anything seems not quite right, please have it checked out..I am probably one of the most stubborn people about going to the Dr....so I am talking to myself as well.
@TrishasTime I laughed when I read about your granddaughter...LOL my husband really didn't want kids...but boy when the grand kids came along...he was the biggest kid and they always run to POP.... My oldest is 23 and he still loves his POP...
@hayleyb25 Welcome, Sorry I wasn't on the board to welcome you your first day here...but we have a great group here. I hope you find this to be a place of fun, encouraging, accountability and even a place to vent from time to time..LOL
@theslightedgeforever I hope you feel better...please take care of the back...I don't want to see you walk like my grandma...LOL

Morning everyone - another hot day here today. I got a phone call to take my GDF (3) to her very first birthday party. It is at a farm for cuddly animalsand lasts for 3 hours. Luckily for me the other Nanna is going so I can do a drop off and pick up cause I have to go to a dress fitting with the GD (16) that lives with me for her seniors ball in the middle of the 3 hours. I am sure, I will get to shopping, washing, ironing, cooking etc as well. Hope everyone has a great weekend.
0 -
@cbabie I'm glad you found your favorite LS video and are back in business! Thanks for sharing, I'll have a look.
@TrishasTime that sounds like a fun party! I bet your GDF will love it.
Hi all! I got good news about my leg, I got some tests done and I have no blood clots afterall, just a hematoma and lots of deep bruising and scrapes. It looks really ugly but I'll be fine! I'm so relieved. I was really worried Thursday and most of Friday. I'm glad they were able to fit me in for the ultrasounds yesterday afternoon and then able to tell me the results right away. I still don't feel really well, but I think that is just my anxiety. You are right, cbabie, we shouldn't wait to take care of ourselves or go to the doctor. I waited to go to the doctor 4 days, and if I HAD had a blood clot, I could have been in serious trouble!
I hope you all have a great day!0 -
@trooworld - great news about it not being blood clot
Hi everyone - another hot day here in Aussie. I need to go out shopping to get a pair of sports shors for GD (16) and I hope to spend some time in the garden before the heat makes itself noticeable.
Hope you are all enjoying yourself0 -
Afternoon all, thanks for the welcome! I haven't been tracking properly this week and not expecting much loss for my first weigh in tomorrow. I have decided to try and stop focusing on the endgame and set smaller, more achievable, weekly goals. First three small steps: no milk in coffee, extra ten mins per dog walk, complete my aerobics dvd twice.
Start: 8st 13lbs (56.7kg)
Goal: 8st 3lbs (52kg)
Current: 1st weigh in 22.1.180 -
@TrishasTime stay cool! Right now, it's in the 50s and 60s(F) here in southern California, which is pretty cold for us lol. I like it for a change.
@hayleyb25 that sounds like an excellent plan! In my case, I have about 72 lbs to lose, and if I focused on that number and losing that, it would seem insurmountable. So, when asked, I say I my goal is to lose 28 lbs (I now want to get into Onederland--- 199). I might even break it into smaller goals. Are you going to reward yourself when you hit your weekly goals? Even something small like a self-pedicure or allowing yourself time to read or garden (if you are in a warm part of the world). I like your small steps too, great idea! I'm glad you are here!
Hi all! Happy Sunday. I've got a busy day of errands and chores planned before I go back to work tomorrow. Last night, I made this beef and mushroom ragu over spaghetti squash in my Instant Pot. The sauce was a little bland, so if you make it, make sure and add some spices. The meat came out really tender though. I also made these Skinny Mozzarella Sticks. They came out so good! I love mozzarella sticks, so I was happy to find that recipe. 1 -
@trooworld unfortunately it's only about 5°C/40°F here in Liverpool, UK and constantly windy/raining0

Hi everyone
Todays weather forecast here in Perth Aussie is expected to 90 degrees. Off to the office today and will get a 15 min walk in at lunch. Going to a women's gym after work. I have not been there for 8 weeks due to feet issues - but is time to get on with it.
@trooworld - Every time I have a good week, regardless what the scales say a loss or not - I buy myself a bunch of flowers. To remind myself I am work it. A good week to me is that I have stuck to the plan eating and exercise.
@hayleyb25 - Great thing to focus on achievable small goals - otherwise it does become over whelming. Nice to have you on boad
Well off to work I go - catch you1 -
Weigh in was ok, really wasn't expecting to lose anything. Starting Monday with a spring in my step!
Start weight: 8st 13lbs (56.7kg)
Goal: 8st 3lbs (52kg)
Current: 8st 12lbs (56.2kg)0 -
@hayleyb25 oh my! I guess gardening is out of the question then. I hope it warms up soon.
@TrishasTime good luck at the gym. That's great! I really need to reward myself more, I don't tend to do it because we are on such a tight budget, but there are free ways to reward myself. I just need to be creative and think of those ways.
Hi all! Well, I got my errands done but most of my meal prep went out the window because I couldn't stand for long periods because of my leg. It's just not healed up enough yet. It gets swollen and painful when I stand on it too long. I did do my nails since I was sitting down on the couch anyway. I like when my nails are done, it makes me feel more put together. Unfortunately, most of the times my nails are NOT done. 0 -
Morning all, Sorry I was not around this weekend...it has been unreal. I ran errands all day Friday, came down with a migraine and didn't get out of bed until Saturday late afternoon...then church yesterday...and trying to figure out what is with my headaches. I am thinking it might be stress, compiled with a bed that needs replaced..LOL
@hayleyb25 Morning! Yes small goals are what keep us moving to the ultimate goal.. Great job Glad you are here with us!
@trooworld I am praying for your leg. I am glad it came back with no clots!!! You are always so positive in life. I appreciate that about you.
@TrishasTime We hit a cold spell here, I had frost on my windshield Sunday morning!! I am assuming if you're in the garden you finger is better? Hope so!!!
theslightedgeforever wanted me to let you know she won't have access to the boards for a bit, I think she will be back online on Wed.
I am slowly getting back to my normal...it's still a struggle, but I am moving forward.
Cbabie0 -
Morning everyone
@trooworld Making time to do your nails every week vould be your reward. Giving your self some "me time" in abusy life is always a reward
@cbabie - Yes I hav have noticed you are getting alot of headaches. Do you think you hould get them checked out with the doctor? It may be what you are saying (stress) but it always better to be sure
@theslightedgeforever - Missing yu and wondered why you had not been here
@hayleyb25 _ hope your step has sprung as the clock turned to Monday.
I have taken the dogs out for a walk, sitting here eating brekkiw as I jump on the boards before I had off for a shower to go to work.
Happy Tuesday everyone
0 -
@cbabie I'm so sorry! Have you considered going on a medication for them? I used to get migraines fairly regularly and then went on Topamax and get them much less often. Thanks, my leg "feels" better (but by the end of the day feels tight like it is swollen) but looks like someone has taken a bat to it lol. But at least it is on the way to healing! Tell theslightedgeforever hello and that we will miss her.
@TrishasTime that is a great idea! Thank you for that. Happy Tuesday to you as well!
I'm going to go to the gym tonight and ride the recumbent bike. We'll see how that goes. It will be the first exercise I've had in over a week. I messed up last night and ordered food delivery, you can get ANYTHING delivered to my address. We got Mediterranean food delivered. I ordered a chicken shawarma plate that came with half a pita, rice, chicken, hummus and tabbouleh (I don't like tabbouleh so I didn't eat that which is a shame because that is probably the healthiest thing on the plate lol). I did track it. So my duty today is to drink lots of water...lots and lots of water. I might still gain on Thursday, but it will be a lesson learned! 0 -
Morning all!
I have done the Leslie Simones twice this week...YEA. I didn't eat after 5 yesterday, so both are pluses for me!!
@TrishasTime glad you got the dogs out for the walk...They love you for that. LOL I will go to the Dr if they stay consistent. You know it could also be my glasses..
@trooworld I hope you don't over do it. You leg needs to heal. I am glad you want to get moving again, its a good thing, just take it slow.. Are you using your water ap today? LOL theslightedgeforever (could she have a shorter name?) I am sure she misses us as well!! LOL
@hayleyb25 Hope all is well in your area!
Cbabie0 -
Morning everyone
I am off to a Curves Gircuit gym tonight. Dogs missed out on their walk this morning
@trooworld _ Perhaps you could go onn for a short period and see how that feels tomorrow and then extend the time slowly. Would hate for you to take a step back
@cbabie - Yes it could be your glasses, but if you get the Dr to eliminate other things as well. Yes I wonder why the name - theslightedgeforever, I always love to hear the story behind the name
Hello to @hayelyb25 and @theslightedgeforever - hope all is well with you both
