    Question .... what are guests wearing to weddings these days? I will be needing to shop for a new dress.

    Something one can dance in .... (wife of friend-since-high-school of Father Of Bride - no relation but known the bride forever .... )

    I think you can pretty much wear what you like - from what I read last year, when I had to buy something, the general idea is not to upstage the bride and to avoid white/cream (especially in lace), but otherwise whatever you feel happy and confident in. :)

    I ended up with this dress for my ex-colleague's wedding last summer and got lots of compliments. I wore a cute short-sleeved, blush coloured lacy cardigan over it to hide my upper arms a bit. It was great to have an excuse to buy a pretty outfit! ;)

    Wow that is one gorgeous dress! I love it.

    My doctor's appointment was a waste of time. Prescribed me the same OTC stuff I already use. Stomach is still a mess, I'm so bloated I look like I'm 8 months pregnant. I'm having to work hard to eat enough, I can hardly stomach water. :(

    At least I can look forward to the puppy. I can't have children safely so I get small fuzzies instead.
    have you tried dropping dairy or gluten just to see if those could be causing the bloating and stomach issues? they are the 2 most common intolerances that might cause those problems.

    But like, why all of a sudden? I eat 90% less dairy and gluten than before and doing that is when all these problems started. Milk actually seems to somewhat improve the situation.

    Odd! I think a nutritionist might be able to help you figure it out - everyone has different craziness in their insides. Maybe yours have nothing to do with the proteins. I hope you figure it out - it sounds like no fun at all.

    @mari_moulin so proud of you and inspired by your hard hard work and success. You look amazing! You are, however, beautiful in all of these photos. We all need to see ourselves as beautiful wherever we are in our journey. (That’s for me as much as anyone.). What I see in the second set of photos is a mighty woman who took charge of her health and life. So proud of you!!!👏🏼🎉❤️

    So fantastic @mari_moulin!

    Thanks ladies! When I first started my journey I told myself that as I moved forward a major change I would make was to learn love myself as I was each step of the way. This was a huge pet of my journey and as big a change as the weight loss for me. Thanks for all your kind words ladies. ❤️

    I just heard about the tornadoes and storms that came thru the KC area last night ... anybody affected or know people who were? How are you / they doing?

    My son in law’s family is all from KC. They are all fine, but it was quite a storm.

So I am posting a picture of my results from my HIIT workout today. I’ve come a long way since I started this about 2 1/2 years ago.. Today I burned 500 cal in an hour which is a fabulous results for me!vgfx2gbfygqe.png

    Speaking of workouts, this afternoon I took my granddaughter out to get a walk in. OMG!!! It was so stifling hot. I stopped three times to give her water (and me) and literally ran through the sun spots to the next shady spot. I was drained. Usually, my walk is mostly fat burn with a little blip of cardio. Today, it was the opposite. All cardio with a little blip of fat burn. Be careful out there and stay hydrated if you are in the heat zone, like me. 🔥🥤🌞

    Oh dear! I'm scared now - heading your way on Saturday. From chilly (fire in the kitchen woodstove) days to roasting ones in one go. Good thing there is an air-conditioned gym at my mom's residence!

    NEWS AND QUESTIONS

    The new members have all been moved into the regular team for JUNE. If you want to update your weigh-in, just let me know. Your starting weight should be taken on the same day of the week you want to continue on for the month of June. Or we can just use the one you put in when you signed up!

    Returning members are all in the spreadsheet for June as well - if you want to change days, try a different team, or anything, now is your chance to let us know!

    The 2 people who are on the Support Team - @BMcC9 and @AmyRobF - do you want to stay there? Or move back up to have your weigh-ins count? @micki48 - do you know Amy's plans?

    I'd said Wednesdays and 159.5lbs when I joined, and my weight today was the same (having bobbed about a bit over the past few days) so I'm good with that!

    Also, I've managed seven whole days of logging! I feel ridiculously proud of myself, even though I've still been aiming for maintenance calories. Only a little overeating here and there - mainly too many desserts over the weekend - so hopefully I'm starting to get a grip on things again after the disaster of the past few weeks. You guys have been good for me already. :)

    I have a question in return - I see some members posting their daily step counts. Is that a requirement, or only if that person chooses to record it? I do very few steps (something I know I need to work on) and haven't worn my tracker for so long that I don't even know if it still works!
