@Cornanda Thanks! Unfortunately, it was a fail...see below.
Good morning! Well, I didn't do so well with cooking the burgers. I haven't cooked burgers very often and the instructions were for cooking on the grill and we don't have a grill so I winged it cooking it on the stove and failed miserably.
Mine was underdone and I didn't realize it and ate it anyway. I found out because my husband started to eat his burger and goes, I can't believe you ate this it's totally undercooked! Ugh. Epic fail. So, next time, he cooks the burgers lol! Game night was a lot of fun though.

Good job on this week’s pounds loss and our percentage. Let’s keep up the good work and not lose momentum now that we are halfway into this month!!
@apple852hk, I like your tiny habits and the focus of not obsessing over the number on the scale. It really is just one of the many tools we should be using to measure our progress. Maybe do a running average like @mrmcrath does. Ohhh and I think I’ve taken a ride a time or two on that crazy train and might even have vacationed in crazy town. A little out there but really nice people!
Hi Team! Today was a great day because I got to go to church. As most of you know I am the ministry assistant at my church and this morning we did our first Livestream from the sanctuary. We officially start back on June 28th. Anyway, DH and I went be part of the supporting cast for the pastor and it was so great to be back in church instead of watching it on my computer.
I did do a good workout before church. Today was back and biceps and some core. I just finished my first piece of watermelon of the season. Soooo tasty!! OK, I am off to reorganizing my pantry and make a grocery list. Have a great rest of your day!

Good morning team!!
I hope your weekend was great and that you are ready to tackle whatever you have going on this week. My goal this week is to work on listening to my body and learn to discern from head hunger vs. real hunger. Did you know that when your stomach growls you don't have to listen to it and go eat? It is NOT the boss of you!! I'm going to embrace the growl and know that when it occurs it's just the sound of my body getting ready to eat its own fat. 
Tell me your plans for the week and how you are working on becoming the best you that you can be.

@TeresaW1020 Watermelon this year seems to be really good! I'm glad you got to go to church. My plans for the week are to stick to my meal plan and not let FOOD be the boss of me. Also, Friday is going to be a challenge because I have to drive to LA to pick up my mother-in-law and drive her back down here. I think I will pack some snacks so I don't have to stop at fast food. Do you have any bars that are low in points that you like?
Good morning everyone! I had a fun day yesterday. I went to a coffee shop with a friend. We sat and drank coffee and talked and drew with our art supplies like it was normal and COVID wasn't going on except it is. While sitting there talking, I got a text from my husband saying that he would like to donate $20 to us to go out to lunch. So we decided to do that. When my friend told her husband, he decided to donate $20 towards our lunch fund, too! So we really could have eaten anything we wanted but we ate at a vegetarian Thai restaurant that is fabulous. We got the food to go and took it to the park. It was a beautiful day. Later, my husband and I drove up the pacific coast and parked along the ocean and listened to the waves. It truly was a beautiful day.

Hey, everyone! I can’t believe the weekend went by so fast. I did good this past week, for the most part. Yesterday I found my hand in the chip bag…didn’t realize it until it was half gone. But I stopped and put them away. Not going to get mad at myself. My church is holding outside services right now and yesterday’s was about the Israelites about to cross the Jordan River. They needed to let God go before them to open the way. He explained that the Jordan River isn’t some little creek, but a rough, deep one that will sweep you away. After God went before them, he wanted them to step into the river in faith. The pastor asked us what is our “Jordan” that we need God to guide us with. I realized that I am my own “Jordan”. I will be working on this (with His leading, of course).
I started today with some Turmeric tea and a banana. My goal is to not watch my fresh produce wither and die. So for lunch, I rolled out to the kitchen and prepped some lovely salad and roasted sweet potatoes for lunch. My daughter and I decided the potatoes didn’t really have enough seasoning (even though I used EVOO along with garlic, onion, paprika and chili powders). But the salad consisted of lettuce, radish, green onion, red cabbage and walnuts…along with a home made dressing of Basil Olive Oil and Walnut Balsamic. The potatoes were delicious with the vinaigrette! Lunch was a bit more calories than I expected, but it’s 3 hours later and I’m still full! P.S. If you use nuts, weigh them instead of using a measuring cup. My “1/4 cup” of walnuts was running over when I measured by 30 grams instead. If I’m going to count 200 cals for nuts, I want my full share!
I gotta get on the ball today with water…it’s 4:30pm my time and I’m only at 60oz. I hope everyone is having a Marvelous Monday!0 -

Monday
Previous weight; 137.7kg
Current weight: 137.7kg
It's been a rough month so far mental health wise, hence the problems with the weight.
I haven't left the house since March apart from one visit to my grandma to pressure wash her drive. - Socially distanced of course.
I'm going to start going on walks really early in the morning wearing a mask to avoid other people in the coming days. Because of my health conditions and covid this is a scary thing but I really need a long walk.
Doing exercise vids really hasn't been helpful because I get bored very easily if I feel like something isn't happening. Lifting weights = very boring. Carrying compost bags into the greenhouse = interesting.4 -
@trooworld- sorry your burgers didn't turn out, but your lunch outing/wave listening day sounds amazing.
@TeresaW1020- so glad you will be heading back to church soon.
@vegan4lyfe2012- good work putting the chips away- salad sounds delish! I am trying to increase the amounts of veggies with all meals- it really does help fill me up!
I cleaned off a shelf in my closet this weekend and found a couple different sizes of pants that I took off the hanger and put aside when I outgrew them. If only I would have worked harder a bit sooner!1 -

Hello everyone! Yesterday, my husband took the day off and we went for a nice walk around a trendy part of town, stopping at a new bagel shop for bagels & lox. Later, we took the dog for a walk and when we got back, I started dinner. I had chosen to make a recipe that SOUNDED really good (Vegan Nashville Hot Tofu Nuggets) but I should have read the instructions before committing to it. It was overly fussy (I had to dip the tofu in a combination of either almond milk, flour, or panko crumbs a total of 4 times before I baked them). The result was surely delicious but I will probably not make this recipe again. Here's the link in case you want to torture yourself: https://www.rabbitandwolves.com/nashville-hot-tofu-nuggets-vegan/

@trooworld, glad you had a nice day with your DH. I am not a fan of fussy and overly complicated recipes. Unless I’m having a dinner party and trying to impress people I keep it simple. : grin
@Jactop, good job maintaining this week!
@Cornanda, I have several pairs of pants in my closet that I can’t fit into…yet! :
@deadpheonixrising, I think that is a great idea that you get out and take walks. The fresh air and getting some sun will be so good for your health and mood.
@vegan4lyfe2012, Oh I like that question that your pastor put to his people. I am also my Jordan and I really need to learn to step aside and let God lead the way. Why is it that we understand that yet find it so hard to do?
That salad dressing sounds soooo good!!
Hi everyone! Today, was a busy day. I took my mom to the eye doctor this morning and we have learned that she has all sorts of issues due to her diabetes and will have to have surgery to remove scar tissue. Then I took and dropped her off so she could get a perm in her hair. She has been stuck in the house since March and wants to come back to the church in two weeks and wasn’t going to go with what she considered terrible hair. She looked fine but there is no telling her differently.
I did a double workout today and did two different programs focusing on my legs. I will probably be sore tomorrow. I also did grocery shopping and tonight we had tacos and Mexican rice for dinner.
So, where is everyone at? This place has been quiet and I’m missing my regular posters and our newbies!! I hope all is well and that you will check in soon.

@TeresaW1020 welp, I have been one of your missing peeps! We had a very busy weekend and beginning to the week but I think we've calmed down again. => I actually tried this morning to do some posting and MFP was a bit cranky so, oh well. Hey - tacos and Mexican rice is among my faves, sounds yummy!! => I'm sorry your mom got some not great news but glad that there is a plan and some forward momentum to be made, we'll be thinking of her and a successful procedure with swift recovery! And she's right (of course, she's Ma) - it's all about the hair!! 0 -

Tuesday check in
Hey Slimpeeps!! Whew - catching up! So today has been good for cals (under), water (target), sleep (target) and exercise (target). Friday, Saturday and Sunday got out of hand on eating with cals over - water, exercise and sleep were good. I've decided to not weigh until my F2F weigh day and we can all be surprised together!!! => Between sodium excess and a car ride, I decided I didn't need to see water gain, I'll just wait for Thursday when I think the water should be recovered and then see if I have been able to maintain. I'm back on track and I hope so but - if not - I'll know I'm on track for losing as I progress.
@bethanie0825 WOWSER girl - you have been working hard on the WW and IT SHOWS! Way to go, that's amazing and I'm so happy for you! =>
@Katmary71 I'm sorry it has been bad.... Sending the mojo and hoping it feels better tomorrow And 14,000 steps when dealing with seems like you're getting out some and likely doing your chair exercises; I certainly hope so, I know you enjoy that outlet until you can get back to the other videos.... {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
@trooworld uh - that looks simply amazing and well worth the trouble - I had a true LOL with your warning on that recipe! Reading it, I gotta agree.....quite laborious. But I am lured by the promise of that crispiness......
@Cornanda I keep clothes that are too small on purpose and if I find myself fitting into all of my 'inspiring' pieces, I troop right on down to the Goodwill for something to look forward to! The biggest reason I do it is the NSV factor - during long-term weight loss, body shape and composition can change and shift - even if the scale doesn't always cooperate, so the clothing is another tool or measure of my progress.
@Deadpheonixrising girl, whatever it takes - composte lifting can totally be exercise - along with the other million chores of a garden!
@vegan4lyfe2012 the dressing on the potatoes sounds amazing! I have found the same for nuts but mostly, I must admit, I get discouraged by the amount of calories for them and end up skipping having any.

@TeresaW1020 I hear you, that's where I'm at, too. I should have looked at the instructions before committing to making that recipe. Grrr! I'm sorry to hear your mom has to have surgery. I hope it goes well. I bet that felt good for her to get her hair done. I got mine done, too. It was weird: I had to wear a mask the whole time, even when she was dyeing my hair. It has been quiet lately here!
@raleighgirl09 Girl, that recipe TASTED amazing but I think Satan himself wrote it. I did change it up and made it in the air fryer to get it even crispier and it was crispier so just imagine that crispness...yum. (((( SKINNY VIBES )))) for a good weigh in on Thursday!
Hi all! Yesterday was kind of a nice day. I got my hair done for the first time since February. It was a bit weird: I had to wear a mask the whole time, even when she dyed my hair (which I was glad to do, don't get me wrong). It just felt...strange. I got home and read a book for a bit and then made dinner. Luckily, it was a less fussy recipe ("The Best Vegan Meatloaf" + air-fried carrot slices + farro).

@bethanie0825, wahooooo look at that awesome weigh-in you had this week. Keep it up!
@raleighgirl09, I think that is a good idea not to get on the scale until your weigh-in day. I’m thinking about stopping my every day weighing for a while. It just messes with my mind and really, who needs that kind of pressure.
@trooworld, I’m going next Monday to get my hair colored and cut. I don’t know if she will make me wear a mask or not. Last time she didn’t but we will see. We gotta do what we gotta do to look good, huh?
Hello everyone! Well, I finally finished that 5000 piece puzzle that I have been working on for almost two months. I was annoyed that I had managed to lose one piece. I blame the vacuum or the dog. It’s OK though. I will tear it down tomorrow and someday I will attempt to do it again. My new fasting book arrived today from Gin Stephens called, “Fast, Feast, and Repeat.” I’ve started reading it and it already has me excited to push myself harder. I talked about it at dinner and mom is on board and DH interested but skeptical. I will just have to prove it to him.

I've been working on my NO and my GO. My No is trying to say no to sugar and not give in to carb cravings. My GO is to not put off exercise and just go get it done.
I've been slacking with the updates. I fell behind on reading posts so when I have time to log in I spend it reading instead of posting. Lots of good info and inspiration that I don't want to miss out on.
@TeresaW1020 If your mother tries IF tell her to keep an eye on her blood sugar levels. When I fast my blood sugar goes up quite a bit which I thought seemed weird but my Diabetic Nutritionist said fasting can stress the body and raise cortisol levels which in turn can raise blood sugar1 -
Well, I didn't do so well with cooking the burgers.
A friend of ours who used to be a chef gave me a great tip. When cooking burgers make a small hole in the middle of the patty about the size of a dime (like a donut) so your burger cooks from the outside in and from the small hole out. When they're done you can barely see the hole and no more burnt/raw burgers

Hello, Slimsters! Playing catch-up here! Monday and Tuesday were a bit challenging, with internet going up and down and then Tuesday also crunch day on a project. My IT expert thinks the issue has been resolved, so hopefully back to checking in at better times of day!
On the plus side - I have stuck to my food plan every day and done decently at getting in exercise. Silly NSV - I finally learned to follow a Jenny Ford step aerobics move that I had found challenging. Silly but exciting that can now do the "sideways bench around-the-world" thing. Yeah, I am not a dancer, but I am determined.

Fun recipe plan for the week is a Russian Root Vegetable Stew. My son did an in-depth project on the geography of Russia, and we are celebrating that with a Russian dinner tomorrow. We will also have a side dish of Pagac bread -- no on my menu, but I think he will love it!
@TeresaW1020 - I am so sorry about your mom and surgery. I do hope that goes smoothly.
Your finished puzzle is gorgeous! There's a toy store I used to go to regularly when my son was younger, that had lots of Ravensberger puzzles, and I recognize that one!
@trooworld - Your not-too-fussy "Best Vegan Meatloaf" sounds kinda exciting! New recipes can be such fun. I hope it was as tasty as it sounds!
@bethanie0825 - BOOM! What a great weigh-in! Hurray, you!
@Deadpheonixrising - I wear wrist gadget that meausres pulse, and I can testify that gardeining really does raise the pulse and quaslify as exercise. So keep up with that composting! I'll bet the outside time is helpful for the mind and spirit as well. I hope that long walk is therapeutic. My husband and I go walking at off hours for that very reason, that it's hard to stay far enough away from people except at off hours.
Yoga and then bed!

@raleighgirl09 and @TeresaW1020 Thanks guys, this WW seems much easier to stick with than it was several years ago. My mom lost 9.5 lbs her first week and she said it's waaaay easier than it's ever been.
I love doing puzzles but don't have a space to do any at home right now. We do have one that we're all working on in my center right now. It's Tigger, I'll have to snap a pic of it. The last one we did ended up missing 3 pieces which was infuriating so I know the feeling lol

@TeresaW1020 Yes indeed! Wow, your puzzle is beautiful, congratulations on getting it done!
@Jactop That's very sweet of you to offer me the tip, but what's funny is that I did make a small hole in the burgers (so that they wouldn't puff up on top, so they would stay flat) and they still came out like that. I'm just not good at burgers!!!! lol
@AustinRuadhain How frustrating! I'm glad you are back. Your Russian dinner sounds fun. Enjoy! Yes, the Vegan Meatloaf, this is the second time we've had it, it's pretty good. It needed more sauce but other than that, it was good!
Hello everyone! Today is healthy grocery shopping day. I have to go to 2-3 stores to get what I need (hopefully just 2). Dinner tonight is 2-ingredient dough pizza, do you know what that is? If you don't, the dough is healthier than normal pizza dough: it's made of 1 cup self-rising flour and 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt. You mix it together and it becomes a thin crust pizza dough. It comes out really well.

Week 3 weigh in Thursday (18Jun2020)
Previous weight:179.2
Current weight: 178.2
I am so glad I decided to wait to weigh when I knew the number would be higher based on temporary factors. When I know it is up because I have really been on a tear not eating well, that's different and I need to weigh and see it because that is good data and I'll need it as one of my evaluating items. This was not that kind of circumstance - and I am glad I recognized that and gave myself permission to understand that there is a difference and not feel the need to be confronted by inaccurate data that won't help me reach my goal. One small step for Maria, one giant leap for being kind to Maria - conquering the hold the scale has on me and wrangling it to its place as a tool.
@trooworld thanks for the skinny vibes, it really helped! Hey, the pizza dough recipe sounds awesome and - easy!! I have made Fathead dough and while it is quite good and low in carbs for hubby, it's about 110 calories a serving more than yours (I use whole milk yogurt or it would have been a little higher amount less). I ran the numbers through the recipes on MFP. I like having choices, especially if they are easy!
@AustinRuadhain I love the NSV!! I feel like me and dancing is one of those memes: "What you think you're doing - what others see!!" I commend you on the grasping of the "sideways bench around-the-world," I know for sure what a VICTORY that is!!!! =>
@Jactop we are always glad to hear from folks, no matter when!! I sometimes have this happen - the reading but not posting and while I may be asking myself why - I just jump in when I can. I also have a bad habit of reading texts and not answering right away....hmmmmm, I see I have a pattern!

Hey, Slimsters! This week's challenge thread is so uplifting and inspiring! Head on over and check this out. It will be worth your time just to read the amazing, inspiring post by @raleighgirl09 !
@trooworld - Yum to your homemade pizza! I have a pretty simple pizza dough I make with a can of beer. Not as healthy, but it's quick and the Teenager loves it!
@raleighgirl09 - I am right there with you on reading... and then thinking about a reply but not always getting one done. And then I think I have.
Your post this morning is so inspiring to me!One small step for Maria, one giant leap for being kind to Maria - conquering the hold the scale has on me and wrangling it to its place as a tool.
One of the places I have been grumpy about scale numbers of late is the pushme-pullme argument in my head about wanting to keep the scale number down versus legit wanting to add some more muscle. I used to carry more muscle, and I'd like to be building it. I found that we have an inexpensive fat caliper in the house. So I went and measured my body fat. Hmm. Maybe I'll try tracking "% Body Fat" as an additional measurement on MFP? If nothing else, it's a nice reminder that the number on the scale is not always the best measure. It's just one tool, as you say, to help me look at wheter I need to make a course correction!
Okay, I am going to go catch up on the challenge thread, and then I'll play, too!

Hi. Nothing exciting here this Thursday. Hope you all are well.
@TeresaW1020 Prayers for your Mom with the surgery. Hope all goes well. Your puzzle is amazing! Please consider wearing a mask when you get your hair done- required or not. I want you to stay healthy!
@trooworld I always enjoy hearing about your cooking adventures!
@Jactop No and Go. I like it!

@TeresaW1020 I am also a puzzle lover, but have not attempted one with that many pieces (my max has been 1000), so very impressed!!3 -
@Jactop, thanks for that info on blood sugar levels. I did have a talk with my mom this evening about paying special attention to how she feels and not to try to do what I do. What a good burger tip you gave @trooworld! I will remember that one.
@AustinRuadhain, That Russian meal looks so good! Especially the Pagac bread. Let us know how it turned out. Ravensburger puzzles are the best quality. I showed DH an 8000-piece one that I really want. It was pricey so I told him I would put in on my Christmas list. And yes you really can’t count only the number on the scale. I don’t have to tell you that muscle takes up less space in your body than fat does. So, taking measurements is probably better for you than weighing. Right?
@bethanie0825, glad that you are liking WW and that you are doing it with your mom is great. I love Tigger!!
@Cornanda, Thank you and I promise to think about wearing a mask. Hey, I wore it twice today when I went into Goodwill and American Thrift Store. That should count for something, right?
@trooworld, I keep forgetting to try that 2-ingredient pizza dough! I have been using Flatouts which work great and are only 2 points. I’m sure yours is tastier.
@raleighgirl09, yayyyy for the great loss this week! You did well this week on being kind to Maria. I appreciate that because I think that Maria girl is a one groovy chica!
@gwamajtw91, great weigh-in this week!! Thanks! It’s by far the largest puzzle I have ever done and I was happy when it was finally finished.
Hi everyone! Today, was a very good day. My staff meeting finished early so I went hunting for some new puzzles and the thrift stores. I found three, 1000-piece puzzles for $1 each. I wouldn’t have bought them new but for that much money, I will do them! After I came home and I was looking on Facebook Marketplace and found a woman selling 6 puzzles (all good brands and beautiful pictures) for $30. Hubby and I are meeting her at a local store’s parking lot tomorrow. So, I’m all set for a least a little while. I also fasted for just over 21 hours and I’ve set myself up a new fasting schedule. I’m feeling VERY motivated!!!

Hey Slimsters!
@gwamajtw91 - Brilliant weigh-in! Congratulations!
@TeresaW1020 , I may need to do through my closets if there is this kind of demand for puzzles, as I think I have a few!
Hurray for your wearing a mask to Goodwill and to the American Thrift Store! If it helps to know you have nerdy company, know that I am out there wearing a mask when I go to the store. Gloves, too, truth be told. We have friends that have gotten it, and it sounds like something to avoid if possible. As @Cornanda says, take care of Teresa. We are find of you and want you to be healthy if at all possible!
You are right about measurements. I'll see if I can find my measuring tape and start tracking those. I still weigh in every week, as I figure that number should change very little week on week.
@TeresaW1020 and @Cornanda - The Russian feast tonight was a huge success! That stew is easy to make with no oil and/or vegan if desired. The Pagac bread was an even bigger hit! I found the 15 minutes of kneading and the 10 minutes of fooling with a design on the top of the loaf both very relaxing! Anyway, my husband ate two small pieces. The teenager has wolfed down more than half the loaf. He may be done for the night, but I am not assuming. 1 -
