Thanks all for the concern about my finger, I think it's fair to say that my dreams of becoming a world famous pianist and hand model are properly dead. And if I thought it was hard to find properly fitting gloves before, it won't be any easier.
But it really could have been catastrauphically worse. It will be a bit shorter and a bit pointier than it was, but the good bits are the nail bed is still intact, didn't hit bone and still have enough touch pad to leave an incriminating fingerprint. I did look for the missing bit, but all I found was tufts of leather and a bin full of wood shavings. Hmm, I wonder how much that bit weighed.... hehehe.3 -

Oh. My. God.
I love your humor about the fact that you lost a small part of your finger.....
So I guess now, when you are around people you don't like, you can say "Hey, look what happened to my finger!" and lift JUST THAT ONE.
*silver lining*

I am kind of an extremist when it comes to my approach to things. I like to have a healthy amount of obsession with my weight loss goals. Thank you and I appreciate the encouraging words. I wish you best of luck you in your journey.1

I was going to say that it might be cheating if you start removing whole body parts to win the challenge, but wasn't sure if you would find that funny in your current situation...all joking aside, at least you still have a finger, however much less of it you have?2 -
Total weight lost in March = 6.8 lbs.
This has not been my best month as far as being food discipline. I will increase my game in the month of April.
I think a 7 lb loss is a great loss, you're losing more than a pound a week and that is a very safe and healthy loss, and you should be happy and proud of your accomplishment!!
I tend to be an extremist too, I don't know why, but in the food world, I can't do moderation, it's all of nothing to me, so that's why I ventured into the Keto world because it keeps me from eating the things that cause me issues...2 -
@Fyreside we changed some spark plugs and coil packs, but still having issues. Neither my brother or I know much about cars, so it was an interesting experience and took MUCH longer than it should have. I think I may have to bite the bullet and see a mechanic. Boo.
Sorry about your finger!1 -

I am off the ship the Oasis and back to the business of getting healthy and losing weight. I did not have a scale this morning so I will report my weight tomorrow, I am sure i have gained as being on a cruise ship was too much of a temptation to obstain from all the great food and deserts, drinks, cookies, deserts, etc.....2 -
Hi there,
Welcome to April! My name is Jodi and I live on the east coast of Canada. I am 44 and am happily married with two wonderful teenage boys. I currently weigh 303lbs and am happy to report that I have lost 30 lbs since Jan 1. My goal is lose 100lbs in 2018. I am eating clean and working out a great deal. I swim three times a week and attend pound class at least twice. I have been on team Slimsons since Jan. Good luck to everyone and thanks in advance for the support.4 -

I love making shells out of cheese, but it's surprisingly hard to do, super tasty, but hard. I usually just make nacho chips out of them instead.
I have seen this before but I've never made them, now that it's come full circle again, I'm going to have to do it now
You could swap out some nuts for a candy alternative, but you still have to be a bit mindful there too...or sneakily put sugar free candies in it...
not a perfect solution, but better...less calories, not necessarily less carbs though 0 -

Daily Post (Monday)
Track: Yes
Calories: No, but in my defense, ate more protein, at least that's how I'm justifying it.
Exercise: Yes, 60 minutes weight training
Water Intake: 99 oz
Day/Goals: My goal today was to front squat 135 lbs, which I did, and Clean and jerk 125 lbs, which I didn't do. I did 115 lbs again and sadly, that is only matching my previous pr. I think I was tired and my back was a bit sore, because I left my belt in the car and thought I could live without it. Nope. I was wrong. However, I will get to 125 soon.1 -

I can't wait to be able to have my "dirt therapy" and take long walks in the sun without a coat.
The news just said that there are two more chances for snow. I'm over it.0 -

Comments: Hi team! I'm a returning member. My goals are to get to the 180s. Drink sufficient water every day. And exercise most days of the week (at least 4 days).
I know it'll help to actually have a gameplan so I intend on reaching these goals by pre-planning meals, making sure to refill my water bottle 3 times a day (equals 64 ounces), and bringing my gym clothes to my school gym or exercising on the elliptical once i get home!
Good luck to everyone!
Rooting for your success I know you got this!!0 -
Today is a new day, new month and hopefully a new outlook. I am not going to lie. I have struggled the last few weeks. I WANT to loose weight. I do. For some reason the energy to make it happen is non-existent. When I look back I should be happy. I mean I have lost 57 lbs. But when I look in the mirror I still see the 240 lb me. It stressing me and I want to eat. My husband and I got back yesterday from vacation and we had a lot of good talks. He supports me and wants me happy/healthy. So now I know that I have someone to talk to that wont judge. good luck to everyone this month!
I am starting small for my goal. I literally sit on my butt all day at work so today I challenge myself to get 6000 steps. I can do it!
I know it's a struggle but just keep encouraging yourself and leaning on those around you for support. YOU CAN DO THIS!!0 -

@Fyreside we changed some spark plugs and coil packs, but still having issues.
Hmm, well I'm taking a long distance guess here. But with new plugs and coils, if you still don't have strong spark, check your earth wires. They will be chunky wires or braids that earth your engine to the chassis. There are probably several of them and can corrode or break in older vehicles. lack of a good earth will cause it to run rough. My other suggestion is (if your vehicle has an OBD2 port) https://www.amazon.com/SODIAL-Version-Bluetooth-Diagnostic-Windows/dp/B00BNO1GYG/ref=pd_sbs_107_13?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00BNO1GYG&pd_rd_r=4CJG260Z3PF4EQ8SGN97&pd_rd_w=WZrAo&pd_rd_wg=uURMY&psc=1&refRID=4CJG260Z3PF4EQ8SGN97
I run one of those and get it to talk to my android phone. They are just a cheapy but good for getting error codes from your car's computer, which you might be able to look up online and find solutions to.

Your spring is my Autumn and it's my favorite time of the year. It brings with it pleasant temps and the promise of slightly cooler months ahead. Being subtropical, we don't really have 4 distinct seasons, just nice weather most of the year with 2 really hot months and 2 chilly to cold months. that being said, I can't wait to break out of town and spend some weeks in the forest.4 -
@tinak33 I am definitely going to use that
@mexiconona Welcome back. That ship looks really nice.
And a general warning to all, I'm stuck here for a few days. Will try to not spam the chat too badly.

Hi everyone! Hope you had a great spring weekend! I started to track yesterday and did really well until late at night. Then I still probably stayed under my calories for the day due to my exercise but I'm learning to just let go and not worry sometimes. I think it's a good thing. Definately going to try and track the rest of the week though!
