    @Kres567 and @digger61 - Congratulations on staying steady! Not always easy during the Candypallooza that the last week or so has been (at least in my world)! 👍🏽👍🏽

    @bethanie0825 - Great stepping! Great job staying moving! 🔥🚶🏿

    @raleighgirl09 _ oh, my, I am SO sorry to hear about your illness, and so glad you are giving yourself some time to recover with some planned days off. 👐👐

    @renaegry - Congratulations on the great weigh-in! And a big wow to your step counts! 😀

    @Jactop - Wow! You had an amazing week for steps! So inspiring! 🔥🚶🏿

    @KatMary71 - Thank you for sharing about your Brussels sprouts adventures! 🎈 And excellent work on your 5 for 90 goals! 😊

    @nbbaby - All the challenges are optional, so please don't worry about whether you can do them or not. There's no expectation you'll do them. If one works and call to you, great. If not, no worries at all! 👍🏽

    @its_cleo - Hurray for you and starting off November with 30 minutes in the gym! Great work! 🏆

    Weigh in
    Apple852hk
    Week 1 - Nov 2019
    Sunday
    PW 166.6
    CW 164 (74.4kg)

    Finally some weight loss. It really helps with motivation. I snacked less as I ate a sandwich at lunch that made me feel a little full. I hope I upkeep this momentum. Making sure I eat for as long as 15 mins instead of just eating quickly.

    Those of you who are MFP friends already know i bought brussel sprouts on the stalk and was excited about it. I cooked for my brother, SIL, and nephews tonight and roasted and presented it whole. My brother ended up carving brussel sprouts out like you would slices of turkey. It makes a really cool presentation on the table, Trader Joe's has them right now.

    I love brussel sprouts and now I really want to find them on the stalk.

    @mrmcgrath - I want to try cooking them this way, too! This could be a Thanksgiving dish, but of course I'd have to test it in advance, so I would need TWO stalks. 💕😉

    @raleighgirl09 - 🌟🎈Congratulations on being on the Fat2Fit leader board for Week 5!
    🥁 Congratulations on being on the Fat2Fit leader board for all of October! 🤩

    @Apple852hk - 🎈 WOW! Great weigh-in! 🌟 I am so delighted for you!
    It sounds like you are keeping track of how long you are eating, to make sure you don't rush through. So maybe the meal is a WIN if you hit that mark!

    @its_cleo - 💪🏽 What a great day! Congratulations on hitting the gym again for your 30 Day Gym Challenge!

    @KatMary71 - 👍 You had such a great day Saturday! I completely sympathize with time spent looking at recipes. That is such fun, but it can turn into a time sink sometimes.

    Well and right on time my weigh in and I gained liked a pound. I feel like I'm dragging the group down, so I'm sorry. I'm trying to use it as motivation for my upcoming week.

    Name: itscleo
    Week 1
    Weighin day: Sunday
    Last weight: 156.4
    Current weight: 157.6

    I love brussel sprouts too! Maybe I'll make some this week.

    @its_cleo - Apology accepted, and know that none was needed! We are all here working on things!

    (And it was Halloween week -- not the best and easiest week for lots of people!)

    Keep focusing on making great days like yesterday (for Nov 2, you had great steps, you went to the gym, you had your calories on track and you did well with water!). Keep building streaks of days like that, and the results will eventually come!

    It is that time of the year again! Time to “fall back”. Today we need to set our clocks back one hour (unless you live in Arizona, Hawaii or other regions where DST is not observed) Many times these time changes effect our sleeping routine. That is why for this week Team Weight No More is challenging everyone to get a better nights sleep! Studies from the US Centers for Disease Control show that over 1/3 of us regularly skimp on sleep. Although it may not seem like it is a big deal to not get proper rest, millions of sleep deprived people mean more dangerous roads, more costly health care and reduced productivity. Sleep deprivation impairs learning, decision making, emotions and adds stress. It also takes a physical toll. The risk of heart disease, Alzheimer disease, diabetes, cancer and obesity all climb with sleep deprivation. These are some of the most significant health concerns facing people today.

    12bnzdbvs4vv.jpeg

    One of the best way to improve your chances of getting a good night’s rest is by adopting healthy sleep hygiene habits. The chart below is from the National Sleep Foundation. This is a 7 day plan for incorporating some good habits into your routine.

    6fu0qau2apot.jpeg

    When you do your daily check in with your team this week. Discuss how the tip for the night before worked for you. Hopefully by the end of the week you are able to incorporate these 7 tips and change your sleeping habits for the better!

    I get 3-5 hours sleep a night for the past month or so and that's not till about 5am when I pass out.
    I can definitely agree that lack of sleep affects your health.

    Love the sleep challenge. I suffer from insomnia off and on, but right now it's good. Bc it's been a problem my whole life, I rrally enjoy it when I can sleep.

    So tonight aiming for 9.5 hours. I know it's a lot but I figure if I sleep I must need it.

    steps nov 3 8587

    Gym challenge- went in did some mobility work. Did stair climbing. Wanted to do some hill work but I bought new shoes and they hurt. Will try to exchange them this week.

    Cals on target today.

    @nbbaby sorry to hear you struggle so much with this. I've been there and it's awful. Have you seen a doctor? I know sleeping pills aren't great but once in a while it can help to have some relief.

    Hello my name is Sharon
    I'm 52 next month. Im married for 29 years. I have 3 grown children and 5 granddaughters. I'm not very healthy, I have Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Acid Reflux, 9 Herniated Discs. IBS-C. And a few others, and right now I'm fighting some kind of lung problem Docs thinking COPD but I'm hoping it's just an infection or something. Well have to wait for the test to see.

    I did just find out 2 months ago that my only son (middle child) who is 31 is dying of cancer and theres nothing I can do. So frustrating to be helpless. I've cried a river. So I thought I would start concentrating on my health because its gonna be hard to do when the time comes.
    Although I get through each day by telling myself somehow he'll be ok. It's the only way I can function. Denial I know...

    So
    My goal is to lose 71 pounds, I've already lost 20 lbs, so I have 41 pounds left to go. I lost those pounds on Keto that I started 2 months ago. I plan on staying on it.
    Because of my body and that some days (most) I cant walk to well due to the pain. I need to lose this weight by mostly dieting. Although the days the pain isnt as bad I do try to clean the house or go for a walk on the treadmill.
    Taking weight of will help my pain in my joints. It's also great for the mind.

    It's very nice to meet you all.


    Welcome Sharon! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! I look forward to being in this journey with you. Stay strong and be kind to yourself!
