Saturday weigh in
Previous weight - 166.4
Current weight - 165.4
Total loss to date - 54 pounds.
I will take this hard fought one pound loss - had a challenging week with snacking so not a big surprise. TOM also hit full on this morning so that is in the mix. Thinking next week will be better. I’ve got a day of tidying my garden planned and tea with my sister - so looking forward to it.
@ljdanny good call on staying away from the party. I think bowling is a fantastic idea.
@Mrsbell8well glad to hear you’ve found something that works for you. It sounds very interesting!4 -
@1theresamcvean yes Bebe got adopted. It actually was by a couple who was there to look at another dog. The wife was in the store (the viewing was at a Tractor Supply). The husband was in the car and we walked two dogs out for him to look at and I put Bebe on his lap, he licked the mans face and he said “I want this dog”!! The head of the rescue explained the health issues with Bebe and the wife said “I take my husband to the doctor all the time so I can take the dog to the vet all the time to no problem”. I was so happy for Bebe. I almost wish there was a hidden camera so I could see how the transition goes!!
@sleepymom5 i totally remember the CPA exam days! Back then I made audio tapes for myself to play in my car to help reinforce some of the materials! I’ve never forgotten the time commitment and your son deserves a pat on the back for his hard work!!3 -

I hope your friend is ok. I am curious how tall you are. For some reason I thought at one point you said 5'8" but I am not sure.
I'm 5'10"

Hello & happy Saturday!😊
I’m am beyond excited about my weigh-in! Back in the 150’s & I’m feeling great! I’m so motivated & in the zone! I have no desire to go off my plan. Between WW, IF. MFP & Isagenix plus my workouts, everything is falling into place & I’m so close to goal! I like getting dressed again. I get excited planning my outfit when I have plans to go out. It feels so good to put clothes on & not feel uncomfortable or worry about how it looks!
So glad to be part of this team! I know I have not been as active as I would like to be, but I do read posts & you guys keep me motivated as well!
@1theresamcvean thanks so much! Glad my posts are helpful! Thanks for your support!😊
Have a great weekend!😁4 -
Well took the jet skis out for one last trip on the lake. It’s a pretty good workout and plus it was a blast. My legs are gonna be sore tomorrow lol. 😊 Kinda sad it’s time to winterize them but it’s time to shift focus. Time to start gearing up for Elk camp in October and get the snowmobiles running before snow hits the mountains. Crazy to already be thinking about winter hobbies but super excited I’m a winter person 😊 Hoping for a lot of snow this year so we can make lots of trips to the mountains.10 -
I got my bike ride in but that is about all I could do as the beautiful weather turned rainy and windy.
I did get through page 4 so I am catching up with you all!
@debbiewsharpe It was nice to learn more about you! I am glad that you decided to join our team!
@Melzz19 Congratulations on your engagement! How exciting! You have such an interesting job, it is amazing how many different jobs are out there that I have never heard of. I am looking forward to having you as part of our team!
@1theresamcvean You are so close to goal! That must feel great! I am eventually going to see what you can do to help me organize my family tree. I need to get the information from my Mother's home. I have a lot of information but it's not organized well. I am sure you loved your time with Pippa! I just LOVE that name! It fits her cute, little self! What a scary pic of the storm and your city! I am glad you were ok!
@JillyBT I am so happy you are back for August! I can't believe these kids are already going back to school. My daughter's school is remaining virtual for the fall semester. She actually did better grade wise with the quarantine. I am also glad that hiring the independent health care workers is working out. I know it is still a lot of work on your end but at least you know they are getting good care.
@pacsnc6 With all that you have been through, I am glad that you decided to stick with our team.
@bburrer30 Hope your new job is going well.
@goingape Welcome! It sounds like that you are going to be a great addition to our team. I am still trying to get off the weight from my pregnancies-they are 20-29 years old lol! Congrats to Trixie for her loss too! Lol! We love pets on this team so post a pic sometime Also congrats on getting into a size large! I am getting close so hopefully I will be joining you soon!
@podperson1 Your therapist is absolutely right, it is important to give yourself credit for the little things. They add up. We all get frustrated and depressed when we aren't doing well. The important thing is that we haven't given up. Let's have a great August (or what is left of it)
@GingerPwr Congrats on your golf achievement! That is awesome! Hmmm....for my very late Successful Sunday-although not so good the past two weeks with most things, I did keep up with my water intake. I made a point to do at least that.
@minstrelofsarcasm How awesome if you could be an instructor and get paid for doing something you love (or seem to love) doing. Hope that happens for you! I am so happy that you are on our team! I am learning a lot from you. I also am going to make myself do some of the ifit courses on my stationary bike when I am back at home. I am a little intimidated by the classes right now.
@nstephenson01 It is hard to believe you were ever 220. You have been either a healthy weight or pretty close the entire time I have known you. You have really adapted many healthy habits that are part of your life now and I think you should give yourself a pat on the back for that. Now it is time to get those last few pounds off. You can do it!
@Missymouse75 Welcome! Happy Belated BD to you too!
@Cafelelia I love your success Sunday, how nice to not only get compliments from your husband and have your dresses be too loose!
@ljdanny Hope your vacation was fun. It sounded like you had some nice things planned. Things are still up in the air here with childcare and schools. It seems like things change day to day...
@lenka1 I can't believe your baby is 4 months! Hope you are enjoying your vacation!
@twyla77 I am glad that you are able to get out and enjoy the nicer weather.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx I am still only a couple pages in the August thread but looks like things are getting a little better with the migraines. I hope this continues.
@lennoncpa I love re reading the intros each month. I almost forgot you had two sons than I remembered that nice pic you posted one time with both of your sons (maybe on a boat or in Chicago?) Hopefully that was a one and done extended tax season. I hope you can enjoy the slower season now.
@CassieGetsFit2013 I am behind with the posts from this month. I hope you liked your psychiatrist and everything is working out for you. Sending hugs!
@Mrsbell8well I am glad that you liked your spine doctor. I am especially glad that he said he would get you back to running. I know you love being active. I am also happy you were able to still go on vacation (remember I am still two weeks behind, I still have to see what has happened since page 4
)
@tryingagain5 Sounds like you have been doing well. I am glad you had such a nice birthday celebration for your dad. How nice for all of you that your brother was able to come too.

It wouldn't let me post yesterday. And I am up 3 lbs which i haven't been making the best choices for dinner . During the day I have been great but at dinner it all goes down hill. The stress doesn't help. Our well went out, our washer broke and the truck took a crap😭 slowly things are looking up. This morning I went for a much needed walk with my pup ♡6 -
Y'all. This has been the most brutal week of my career.
I'm sorry for not being present in the group or being very motivational right now. Students are coming back Monday for a weirdly blended learning experience, and the whole week has been a struggle trying to figure out lesson plans, trying to figure out safety measures, having questions that STILL aren't answered and dealing with just lots of tension from the community. Right now, it's like, no matter what we try to do as educators, it's going to be wrong.
I've literally spent the last three days crying.
Sorry to be such a downer. Here's some cuteness:

@sleepymom5 I love reading your catch up posts to everyone. It's like going down memory lane. Can you believe we're halfway through August? Why does the second half of the summer go by so fast?
@lennoncpa I'm so glad Bebe found a loving couple to take her in. Yay, Bebe!!
Everyone, it's pet pic time again!!
@bburrer30 Having both your washer and truck go down in one week is a huge stress! I'm glad to got to walk your pup this weekend. That's a big sense of normality and there's nothing like a walk with a dog to help the stress melt away.
@GingerPwr I'm so sorry to hear about this week career-wise. The timing of Covid is putting a big cloud over the fall. I'm worried for everyone. Teachers are about to become frontline in a big way. Stay strong. Hugs to you.

This week my Ulcerative Colitis flared up. You'd think that would mean a drop in weight but there's a lot of bloating and discomfort along with the unspeakable symptoms. At the same time, I didn't log my food the week before for my Nana'cation, but my daughter-in-law is gluten-free at home and doesn't tend to replace the carbs in any kind of literal way, so don't think that was a big problem.
Big news on the Wendy front! She is on her way, through the air, to Vietnam as we speak. Pippa was so cute when we said goodbye. She thanked Wendy for 'hanging out' with us while we 'tried to keep our neighbours healthy.' She also said, "Wendy, I didn't know at first that I loved you, but I know that I love you now." Pippa just turned three on July 28th. What a kid. (For anyone new, Wendy is an international student who lives at my house. She was stranded here for the last five months after school closed down.)

Pet Pic TimeXavy turned four on August 1st. Here are his birthday treats to share with the neighbourhood dogs and him having a rest is the nest he made with a blanket at the foot of my bed after the excitement. He's a bit dusty from all the construction this summer. That, and his sad Covid cut, which I have been doing myself. Poor little guy.

This is just water retention caused by creatine and lifting weights. It jumped up even higher last week and has come down a bit, but my calories haven't been over maintenance so it's not an actual gain. I'll take it because my lifting has increased, I'm still having some issues with nerve pain but I can balance it out.
It puzzles me how I can be knocked on my backside with pain one day and then okay to lift the next, but I am pushing through some pain. In hubby's words I kicked his *kitten* with deadlifts today, but they've always been a favourite of mine. He's actually way stronger than me but I was deadlifting his loaded bar easier than him 🤣 He was suitably impressed - so was I! I didn't know I could still do that!
I'm off to bed now so I can be up at 6am for a spin session. Have a good day everyone!6 -

Hey everyone, We are going into the second week of vacation. I am finally starting to relax. It was good to unplug, in spite of being bothered by my auditor! I am still catching up on posts, there are so many. I will be checking in more frequently this week.
@GingerPwr - I am so sorry that you are experiencing such a hard time with back to school. It is such a difficult time and it is so hard on teachers, in particular. School starts after labour day here, and while our province has loose plans in place, there are so many issues that they need to figure out. So they are talking about delaying the start until certain issues can be worked out, like smaller class sizes. The information out in the media is so confusing as well. I like to prepare, but it is kind of impossible in this scenario. Sending you a big hug!
@1theresamcvean - That is so amazing that Wendy finally gets to go home! Pippa is such a sweetheart.2 -
@GingerPwr Casey I’m so sorry to hear about your challenging struggles. Keep breathing and take it one day at a time.
@sleepymom5 Pam you always make me smile. I’ve missed you.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx cute kitties
@1theresamcvean I love your Wendy Pippa story ❤️2 -

Angelina, Until I read the comments at the bottom, I thought you were making Carmen Miranda hats. LOL1 -
Congratulations to our top “losers”: @podperson1, @kirsten11872 and @nstephenson01! You all made the F2F Honorable Mentions as well! I know that each of you had your challenges this past while, and way to go for sticking with it and having such a great week!
Congratulations for reaching such awesome milestones @hope002, @annliz23 and @kirsten11872! You are each an inspiration!
Together, we lost 8.4 lbs this week, but more importantly we kept going and were there for one another! I often say it, and really mean it that we are all winners for showing up and trying, particularly during these tough times! Way to go Team Weight No More and here’s to a fantastic week 3!

Big Congratulations!
So happy for you three on your success this week! You must feel fantastic.It takes a lot of hard work to pick yourself up and brush yourself off sometimes. And this week's winners prove that. Everyone, if you are having a bad week, or not getting the results you were hoping for, success lies on the road just ahead for you too. Just think about the insights that these team members have shared with us recently and how they adapted to the challenge.Major Milestones!4
