    @craigo3154 and @laurenbarger, My sister's husband passed away suddenly so I will be out of the country for a couple weeks. Have to be there to provide emotional support. I will weigh in on Monday. Tuesday is my designated weigh in day, but I will weigh in tomorrow. I hope that Wi-fi will be available. :(:(;);)

    @12774. So sorry to hear about your family's loss. Family is so important. My thoughts are with you.

    A weigh in any day of the week is fine as long as it is posted before midnight Saturday. Your nominated day is preferred, but it is understood that circumstances can change. It is fine if it is early or late (or even missing for a week if notifying myself or team captain).

    @shawna357, missed you. How is your grand ma doing? Awesome wt loss this week.

    Thank you for asking about my grandmother, that means a lot. This past week she took a turn for the worst. Saturday evening she past away after putting up a fight for seven days. She was a strong-willed woman and at her weakness she still showed how strong she was. I believe if she did not suffer from dementia she would have lived til one hundred and then some. She was basically a healthy woman and that is what is so heartbreaking. Thank you again for asking.

    Hi all my name is Shawna and I am the co-captain. Sorry I have been MIA but I had a death in my family Saturday and this next week is going to be the funeral so I probably won't be as active as I usually am.

    I am happy to see @shockvalue07 , @koirakoira , @aganey, @Lesscookies1 , @escowles675, @JulieAL1969 , @12774, @wryhorzegal, and are team captain @laurenebargar . I am sure I will see many others that was with us in January but that is all I see so far. Then I would like to welcome @MichelleE71, @lenilus, @mamasuzie125, and @Djoull. I believe you will find the support and encouragement from this team to stay motivated.

    I would like to start a mini challenge and try to post a new one each week. This week I would like to focus on our water intake. I know in the winter it is hard to drink water because for some odd reason it doesn't taste as good as refreshing. That is basically all I drink but find I don't drink as much in the cold months. Does anyone have any ideas for other mini challenges? Just post them on here or send them to me in a message. If anyone wants to be m friend just send me a message.

    I am looking forward to getting started this month trying to get back to logging food and exercising more. This month I am really taking time to find myself again. For a year and a half I put my life on hold to take care of my grandmother that was like a mother to me and believe me it was a blessing and honor. Since I lost her, I have to go and find a job again to help my husband out and I am not going to lie, I am scared to death. Feb 10th, I will be 43 and I still am asking myself what I want to be when I grow up.

    Everyone have a blessed day.

    Sorry I am posting a lot but I am trying to catch up. I must have not went to the second page because I see names I forgot. Welcome back @STLGraffitiQueen and @WA_Teacher. I need to apologize to @Djou11, I misspelled your name when welcoming you to the team. @FrancineJM61 and @tomedog welcome to Flab-U-Less.

    @12774 I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I will pray for you and have safe travels.

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to introduce myself as I have been using MFP for many years and this is the first time I have joined a group. I am looking forward to helping this team WIN!!

    I love your last sentence because even though we are wanting to get healthy, winning is a bonus. If we work together it is possible.

    @shawna357 Sorry for the lost of your grandmother and I am sure that if she could have she would have thanked you for taking the time to care for her... on a more cheerful note I think it's amazing to not know what we want to be when we grow up, that only means that at all ages we can redefine and reinvent ourselves... don't be scared and just go for it girl :)
    Ps don't even feel the need to apologize for the misspelled name ;)

    I’m going to set my water intake goal to 80 oz as well. I have been doing horrible on water lately.

    @shawna357 I’m sorry about your grandmother. I know that must be hard. Don’t forget that you can always rely on us for support. Also I wish you luck on the job hunt. I’m sure you will find something just right for you.

    @12774 I’m sorry for your loss as well. I’m sure your sister appreciates you being with her during this hard time.

    Previous Weight: 232.0
    Current Weight: 235.6

    Sorry team! I was out of the gym for over a week from flu. Got back in to gym 6 days last week and was under my calorie goal every day as well. Pretty sure the weight gain was water weight from getting back to heavy lifting. Gained 3.6 but lost 3/4 inch in the waist! I'll keep at it and the pounds will start coming off again. Hope everyone has a good week.

    Hi all, I am on my way to Ohio. I will probably not be that active this week because my Nana's funeral is this Friday. I love how many are on board with the water challenge I try to get in atleast 80oz.

    Thank you all for your kind words and support, it means a lot.

    @tomedog that is a lot of water and I believe I would be floating away. Lol

    @bisonpitcher i am sorry to hear you had the flu but glad you are feeling better. This flu is nothing to mess with and the deaths from the flu have been ridiculous. I know when I got over it, it took about a week to get my strength back so don't over due it to soon.
