    @HASWLRS thanks! I'm sure I had horrible form, but I'm glad I was able to do it! Even if it was only on one side! I hope you give the recipe a shot! It's good!

    I’m still here. Gonna have to catch up on all these posts later. Work is still insane plus we just got a new roof and need our plumbing redone. Goodbye savings account 🙃

    Accountability challenge

    I did really good with food on Sunday, swam and played lots of pool volleyball. BUT I may have drank one or ten too many alcoholic drinks ...
    Monday I tracked and was under but was too exhausted to get out and go for a walk
    Tuesday I did just fine

    @cmhubbard92, I have never bought coconut oil before...is there anything I should look for? And what kind of chocolate chips do you recommend.....semi-sweet or milk chocolate or something else altogether? (The reason this recipe intrigues me, is that sometimes my fat intake is quite low, and it would be nice to have an easy way {and a delicious way} to top that number up!)

    @HASWLRS you can use what you prefer, but I use Lilys dark chocolate chip, made with stevia instead of sugar. I also use refined coconut oil, but I don't have a preference over brand. I will buy organic if it's on sale, but I am not picky. Because carbs aren't a concern, you could use whatever type of chocolate you prefer.

    I like the low carbs but the LAST thing I need is a fat bomb!! 😕

    Richmondwriter MUAC for Wed. 9/9:
    Tracked: yes
    Under: no (+85 calories)
    Exercised: yes - 35 minutes walking

    Welcome back, @prehistoricmoongoddess! You've started out with a bang- nice loss this week!

    @murdog3t - I am so sorry that you have been experiencing pain. Hope you're feeling better soon. I know it must be scary in California right now. I have a friend in Oregon who I just checked on last night. She is packed and ready to evacuate if need be. Thinking of you and praying for your safety.

    @cmhubbard92 - I am also impressed that you can do a one-legged pigeon!

    @knlizght - an impressive day at the gym - zumba and boot camp! I've always been too chicken to try boot camp.

    Congrats to @loraloha22, @mooreshelly09 and @HASWLRS for their top three weight losses this week, and to @cmhubbard92 for joining them in 6-7 days of successful MUAC!

    Good morning all,

    I am not feeling it today. It was all I could do to drag my azz out of bed this morning. :( It was supposed to be a leg day but I knew that wasn't happening, so I took a 30 minute spin class. I planned to just sit and pedal, not necessarily follow the instructor, but by the end of class I was perking up a bit and playing along.

    Now I'm at work and it's still dark out. Where did the summer go? I wish that I could send @murdog3t some rain as it's raining for the second day in a row. We're under water here on the East coast and tropical storms are still stacking up in the Caribbean. If only we could send one or two of them out West.

    I feel like Eeyore here this morning. Oh bother...

    I hope that everyone has a good day and thanks for listening. Stay safe out there. <3

    30 minute spin class sounds pretty good for someone who wasn’t feeling it. Way to stick to it

    Thanks @HASWLRS 🥰 I’m feeling it today - I skipped my class this morning and slept 🙀 I’m doing a class later but allowing a lower step day ❤️ Thank you so much for your comment, this team chat is really motivating 🤩

    Wednesday, September 9th

    logged: yes
    under: yes
    exercise: yes, 108 minutes of walking, two separate walks
    water: yes, the minimum 8 cups
    steps: 18,659

    I went with my husband to his gum specialist appointment in the city, only I did not go in with him. Instead I walked around outside and in the nearby mall. That is how I got my first 55 minute walk in. It wasn't speedy by any means; I had on flip flops and was carrying my purse, but my Fitbit registered it.

    I did not sleep again last night....my body may have been a little achy from overdoing it yesterday. This morning I have already had my share of carbs. I need to focus, and soon, or I will blow it today!!

    Thanks so much for your comment @richmondwriter 🥰 I think I was slightly over enthusiastic yesterday as It’s caused a very underproductive day today! Allowing the recovery though! Try a bootcamp, they’re good! I struggle with anxiety and being massive holds me back sometimes but I just think that nice people would be encouraging and think ‘good on her for coming’ And it doesn’t matter what the rest think... in my head if it says ‘suitable for all abilities’ then I have as much right to be there as anyone else 😅 Be kind to yourself ❤️
