I’m driving out to Pennsylvania mid-March to spend 4 - 6 weeks with my husband. I’ve decided its time for me to step back from F2F for the time being. Thanks @sleepymom5 and @Cafelelia for all you do to make this a terrific team. Best of luck to you all on your weight-loss and wellness journeys. I’ll be cheering you all on!!5

Good morning everyone!
I had a good day yesterday. My food was on plan and drank all of my water. It was a second rest day and my leg continues to fell good. It was a busy day and my MIL was visiting as well, so lots of running around. I can’t believe that March starts tomorrow!!
@nstephenson01 - I am so sad to see you go, but completely understand the need to step back. Really glad that you will spend some time with your husband. We are here for you any time and you are always welcome back. Just post or message whenever you need us! Wishing you all the best and sending a big hug.
@mrsbell8well - Nice loss and love the spring theme chart!
@Zumba_luva - Just a little gain there and you have been doing so great, so keep it going!
@brown6267 - Nice loss and steps!
@sleepymom5 - Great day yesterday and enjoy the show!
@CassieGetsFit2013 - You are a beautiful young lady Cassie!! I know it can be hard to be objective about ourselves, especially when you are depressed. As you just have done above, try to focus on at least one positive. There are many, many positives if you just open your eyes a little bit! Oh to have your lovely hair and lovely skin!
@tryingagain5 - Congratulations on the 50 lbs loss!! Good day yesterday and everybody needs a rest day and some extra sleep!
@lennoncpa - Nice loss and little goals is the way to do it! Really nice that your clothes are looser too! Hooray for tax season as a motivator!
@kumecyclingteam - Great loss this week and you are knocking it out of the park with the meal prep! It really does save time and makes healthy eating so much easier!
@1theresamcvean - Your granddaughter is adorable and I loved that photo with the little tea set! My June race is in Niagara at the Niagara Women’s Half Marathon and 5 km. I have completed that Half twice before, but I don’t want to get ahead of myself this year and the 5 km will be more than enough! If I do a Toronto race, I will let you know! When the weather warms up a bit, we can try to meet up for a short run if we are both up to it?
@Freeglerock - I am so sorry about your dog. It has been such a tough period for you. Just sending you a huge hug.
@timibotkin - Sorry that you are having a bad week and glad we could be of service to cheer you up!!
@pacsnc6 - Fantastic loss!

@1theresamcvean eeeks I love your royal dalton Tink!!!! And your post! Ah your poor sister lol. Those are beige fairy slippers with an ivory Pom Pom that I bought at old navy. Someday I would like this room to be sage greens and violets. When we moved in I stole something from all other areas of the house to create this space. Some of the pillows were new but everything else has a fond connection.
Stash chocolate mint tea just went on my grocery list.
Pippa is soooo adorable and you know I’m swooning over that tea set!
@Freeglerock I’m so sorry about the loss of your kitty. You have had your share of grief. My heart goes out to you.
@brown6267 great job losing a pound this week!!!
@CassieGetsFit2013 I learned a long time ago about the importance of self talk. We tend to believe the words we say and think. You might want to consider some positive affirmations to replace some of the negative self talk. I know it can be hard but it seems like there is always something we can be grateful for. Like beautiful hair 😉
@timibotkin I have always had a theory about seasonal energies. It seems like winter is a time of illness, death, reflections, a time of burrowing and slowing down, regrouping and discoveries. Spring often brings hope, awareness, new energies and rebirth. I agree with @xX_PhoenixRising_Xx that Spring can offer some positive new changes for you. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
@sleepymom5 WTG Pam!!! I loved how you played out the perfect math formula. You had a string of really good days=weight loss on scale. Great job. And yes I loved your idea of March Molly Month!
I really enjoy all the little photos you post. They are always good for a smile!
@KUMEcyclingteam ooohhh I love your prepared meals. Another math equation...good prep=results! Congrats on weight loss! What was in your food container? It looks so good.
@lennoncpa you are an inspiration! I love your goals and the results that you have been achieving. I was just telling Molly how great it is to never feel like my pants are too tight. With this recent few pounds I gained I definitely was feeling tighter pants. Much much better today but I absolutely can relate! Do you have plans to get new clothes?
@pacsnc6 great month of weight loss! I bet your pretty excited about March and seeing those 140’s! I can tell you 140’s are quite an achievement! Your almost there! Everything you’ve done has been a great achievement! Congrats!
@GingerPwr you might want to try a local roaster for fresh coffee beans. We drink it black and really appreciate the taste of fresh coffee! I gave it up over a year ago but recently bought some decaf for a treat.
@Zumba_Luvah it happens. March is tomorrow with a fresh start!
@tryingagain5 sometimes the mental energy of accomplishing a goal can shake us up. Is it real? Can we keep it off? I try to watch for times that I’m hungry vs a little self sabotage. Your doing great. Very consistent with your posts! That has always helped me to get on track and stay on track!

Wow this week flew by for me.
Had some foot pain Thursday and Friday, so I didn't run. I ended up with really bad tendonitis about 18 months ago, so I thought I'd better rest up. Feeling better today, so I'm running in a little while after breakfast settles.
It's weird that in just a few days, sweetness seems overwhelming to me. I didn't eat much candy and sweets to begin with, but last night I ordered cole slaw with dinner because I thought it would be healthy. There was sugar in it - I could taste LOTS of sugar. Couldn't finish it. I had a diet Dr. Pepper at an after school meeting - the fake sweetener was too much - couldn't finish it.
I'm sipping my black coffee as I write this and... it's not that bad.
@nstephenson01 we'll miss you but I'm glad you are getting to spend time with your husband!
@Cafelelia Glad you had a good day. Keep it up!!!3 -
@pacsnc6 sorry about that. 140’s are wonderful but so is getting into the 150’s!!! I was projecting ahead for you lol!
@Cafelelia I am celebrating your victory with you! You have come a long way with your healing. And your weight loss with all your crazy schedule!
@rosieposiesrl glad to see your post. I know you have been dealing with a lot! Hang in there and good luck!
@Freeglerock thanks for your comments! Would love to see your Australian opals. They say if you wear them it keeps their fire alive.
@kirsten11872 hope your set up for a great weekend!
@nstephenson01 are we going to do this together lol? Looking forward to seeing where we both are on April 1st!
I’m sure I have missed other team members here. Trying to get in what I can before I begin work on Monday.
Have a great weekend everyone!!!
One last thing...for anyone that try’s to stay supportive to each team member, this is quite a time commitment! I have taken over an hour this morning to post. Our team captains do this on a regular basis!!! Many many thanks again to @sleepymom5 and @Cafelelia! Your love and support is tremendous and greatly appreciated!!!4 -
@nstephenson01 just saw your post! I am so excited for you. It should be a very interesting March. Please post when you can and good luck. Enjoy and have fun!!!1
-
@CassieGetsFit2013 you are a pretty young woman, I agree with @sleepymom5 you should smile more. I too love your hair.
@nstephenson01 Have a great time in Penn with your husband. You will be missed and we'll look forward to your return here.
@Mrsbell8well I do look forward to the 140s as that's my ultimate goal but the 150s will be an achievement for me too. It's been a long time since I've seen those numbers on my scale.
Let's do this in March!3 -
@Mrsbell8well I know, it just stinks because I was doing really well the past few months. Now it's like im stuck. And now is not a good time to be stuck; summer is only a few months away!2

Thank you everyone for being so loving and kind. Out of all of the groups I've been around the internet, even depression and self harm groups, this is the best one and it's a fitness group! I try not to come here too often with really depressing things, especially related to self harm because I don't want to bother everyone here with that and definitely don't want to stress anyone out or make anyone feel at ease. But everyone here does help me a lot and makes me feel better and like I can be a better person and I feel loved and cared for here. I love all of you so much! I mean it. And yes, I guess I do have really nice hair, lol. That is one of the things I get the most compliments for, haha. 😏 I'm lucky it's always been so thick and full, especially at age 30 now...My poor twin Brother has lost a lot of his! Might be cause he is a male, or the fact that he didn't really take good care of it while he was younger, I don't know. But he is the greatest, sweetest guy you'd ever meet! He will take the shirt off his back for anyone even if it was the only one he had!5

Week:4
Weigh-in day:Saturday
Previous weight:177.0
Current weight:182.4
+5.4🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️4 -
Hello & happy Saturday!😊
I definitely did not gain 5 pounds since last week, it was about 2 pounds. Last week when I weighed in at WW, their scale was over 3 pounds less than my scale, this week it was exactly the same as my scale. I think going forward I’m just going to use my scale’s weight. I agree with my weight, I just think last week’s wright was under.
I’m resetting! It’s a new month tomorrow, I started a new WW weigh-in booklet & I’ve decided to change my WW color from Green to Blue. For those who are not familiar with WW, they have 3 different color coded plans which give you different food options. I have to do something! My weight has not been this high in over 5 years! I have a new outlook & I’m feeling good! I got this!!
Have a great day & weekend!😊🤗6 -
@sleepymom5
The hydro massage bed is really nice. Every one who had that added to their gym membership can use it. It can be used for 12 minutes every 24 hours. It's timed and turns off after the time is up. It is really relaxing. There's also games or articles on the screen that can be read if you want. Sometimes I just close my eyes and relax and sometimes I play one of the games.
Doing better today and so far I'm on track.2 -
@Mrsbell8well
You're right. I do wonder if I can keep the weight off. So many times I've lost and gained so it's hard to believe it's real. That's probably why I don't get excited about the milestone numbers. Sometimes I do wonder if I self sabotage without actually realizing it.
Thanks! Posting here does help me too. I can be honest here and know that there is no judgment, just support.1 -
Mrsbell8well, this weeks dinner prep consisted of:
1/2 cup Green and yellow string beans \baby carrots (got to be colorful)
1 cup Red and brown rice with Quinoa (I just like saying "QUINOA")
60 gr Roasted little potatoes with olive oil (when you add olive oil it makes them fancy!)
1 medium Hard boiled egg (Natures Protein pill)
4oz Boneless skinless chicken breast (From the crock pot)
1/4 cup Bertolli vineyard marinara (Surprised at how "low calorie" this stuff is!)
14 gr Shredded parmesan cheese (Half of the normal serving of cheesiness)
627 calories
53g protien
65g carbohydrates
14g fat
Thank you for asking, Next week will feature Pork Butt (was $0.99 a pound) So i think you can guess what I'll be eating next week.................Butt ! lol Have a great day Mrs Bell !

I was glad to continue seeing losses here. I met my goal of getting into the 270’s. My next goal will be to get in the 260’s by April. Another NSV... I did another month of excersicing for 30 mins a day. Thanks for all of the encouragement! I’ll try to get back on later and respond more! I hope everyone has a great day!6 -

@nstephenson01 you will be missed, but hope you have a great time with your husband.
@tryingagain5 congrats on the weight loss.
@Freeglerock sorry about the loss of your cat.
Today I made chicken in the crockpot for the first time. I love how it came out. I made the chicken to have for the week. I am meal prepping this weekend. I went to the store and bought some things. Tomorrow I am going to make meatballs. I know I say this a lot but I have to get my butt in gear. Today doing my workout took a long time because I was babysitting my granddaughter and she was grumpy. I had to keep hitting pause but I finally got through it. My 30 minute video took 90 minutes, lol. March is going to be my month, positive thinking.6 -
Saturday 2/29 check in
Food: over
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 10 minutes speed intervals on treadmill, 45 minutes bootcamp class
Since I didn't have to work last night and had nowhere to be this morning I was able to get to the class at the gym. I warmed up on the treadmill first. I haven't done a class since December. It was really hard. Working with my trainer is really hard too but in a different way. The class was a mixture of strength and cardio. Jumping
jack's, jump squats, sumo squats, burpees, inchworm to name just a few of the exercises. I used the hydro massage bed after the class, then ran an errand.
One of my friends is out of town so I checked on her kitty this afternoon, then napped for about an hour.
Another friend in my condo complex hosted a community game night. She had several kinds of soups and bread and cookies. I brought some fruit and veggies. It was a small group but we had a great time. I had done well with food until I got there. Everything was so good I ate too much. I didn't look up the calories in what I ate so I'm not sure how much I'm over. My friend sent everyone home with soup so now I have a couple of extra meals so that's nice.4 -
@nstephenson01 Enjoy your time in Pennsylvania with your husband. Hope to see you again in April or May.
@KUMEcycling Your meal prep sounds and looks so nourishing and delicious. We have another cyclist here, Janice from Texax @txmama63. I hope you've made her acquaintance. I used to cycle a lot more. For a while, I rode a Cervelo. Now I have a hybrid Devinci (both Canadian bikes), which is still very light but better on city streets and for my less active lifestyle. My daughter says I'm like Forrest Gump when he just stopped running. I don't disagree.
@Mrsbell8well I love the goals you have for your fairy room. Sage and violets are perfect ~ so peaceful and natural for the fairies after all. Pippa's tea set came from a little antique store around the corner. We use these tiny porcelain teaspoons from a set of doll-house size dishes and utensils that I brought back from Paris. That sounds so fancy to say. LOL. (I was there on a family history trip to see some of the places my ancestors lived. I drove from Paris across to Alsace and then into the Black Forest in Germany, finally leaving from Zurich, Switzerland to head home. Good memories.) I am keeping the porcelain dish set until she's older and hopefully my son builds her a dollhouse (he's a carpenter and a luthier so I think he can handle that). There are so many dishes and serving utensils in that set that I don't think any of us have that many of our own. So European.
@Cafelelia I'm here right now to remind myself not to eat too much and stay in the present. Thank you for the tip. Looking forward to coordinating some running. You have nothing to fear about speed (reference my Forrest Gump statement above).
See you all on the March post!2 -
@1theresamcvean your post is delightful! How fun to hear about the history of your tea set and utensils. Your a girl after my own heart. Mom bought me 2 violet pillows today that look like they are sprinkled with silver fairy dust. They are so swoon worthy. I’m saving them for my future room. Maybe summer?
@timibotkin damn girl! You really rack up a lot of steps!!! Congratulations on hitting your 70’s goal! You amaze me!
@KUMEcyclingteam your meal sounds quite yummy! I thought that was potatoes in there. You will have to post pork pictures next week. We love our food porn!
And it’s pretty cute how you give extra insite and comments on each ingredient. It made me smile. FYI... if you use the @ symbol before some ones name it will flag them that someone has mentioned them in a post. Your doing great. Glad to have you on our team. My wife and I were planning a 55 mile bike ride in May. Unfortunately health problems are pushing those plans to the sidelines. For now anyway.
@Zumba_Luvah I have total faith that you will make great progress by summer! Hang in there.
I’m waiting for macarons to cool off before going to bed. Skylynn stayed up past her bedtime baking but I told her I would watch the last 2 trays. Oh my these things are a bother. But Skylynn is delirious with happiness. I will post pictures tomorrow. They came out quite pretty. Thank God!!! That’s a lot of work and you never know if they are going to turn out but they did. Can’t try them till tomorrow but at least they look right. I racked up over 12K steps and drank all my water. Food on track as well !
@kirsten11872 I was worried about you. I know how you get when your in the zone. I wasn’t quite hearing your usual focused self this week. Hey tomorrow is a new month and a fresh new start!
