    @erikNJ, well done on being firmly back on track after the long weekend!

    @DaffyGirl88, we all have those days, so vent away!! But I agree with Erik....30 minutes on a bike is pretty good on most days; let alone the days we are not feeling it!! This, too, shall pass. It sounds like you are back in the office?

    @knlizght, I am glad this team is motivating you....but you are doing all the work!! And you, doing all the work, is inspiring to us, so it is a win/win situation!! I, myself, am excited to be with you near the beginning of your journey because I can't wait to see where it will take you!

    @murdog3t, just sending a hug your way. We have seen the "orange glow" pictures of San Francisco on the weather news channel....it looks other worldly. Stay safe, my friend!

    @richmondwriter, you are oh so close on calories every day it seems! I have probably already asked you this, but how close are you to goal? (My goal is pretty much what you weigh now).

    @richmondwriter, you are oh so close on calories every day it seems! I have probably already asked you this, but how close are you to goal? (My goal is pretty much what you weigh now).

    I am not sure what my goal weight is; I would like to get back into the clothes that I can no longer wear (which make up most of my closet!) Today, I am trying intermittent fasting, eating only from 10-6 p.m. Maybe something new will get me out of the yo-yo'ing cycle.

    @DaffyGirl88 way to get out there and just get it done! It is so much better to do an alternative workout than none at all! I hope you have refound your motivation! I think we are getting your rain, now!

    @HASWLRS great job using your freetime to get a nice walk in! I always end up with shoulder pain if I walk with my purse! Great work!

    @prehistoricmoongoddess great effort on the mini challenges! What is your weekly step goal for the step challenge? I will add you to the spreadsheet once I have a goal! :)

    @richmondwriter you are always so close! I am sure you are still in a deficit when slightly over your goal! You are doing a great job remaining accountable! I am also impressed with myself for the one legged pigeon, but I'm sure I had terrible form! I'm seekng myself getting slightly more flexible, though!

    Thanks everyone @HASWLRS @erikNJ @cmhubbard92 and anyone I missed. I appreciate the encouraging words. πŸ₯° Some days are just like that I guess. I'm off today so my weekend has officially started. I need to be careful though because that's usually where I get off track. Going for some retail therapy when the quilt shop opens. Petting beautiful fabric always cheers me up. 😊 Stay safe everyone! ❀️

    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!

    Thank you for your kind words and prayers

    @mooreshelly09, another great weigh-in!! Your consistency is paying off!!

    @knlizght, you were smart to listen to your body and take a rest day....well done!

    @erikNJ, hugs, my friend. It appeared, on paper, that things were going your way. Thank goodness it's Friday, and you can regroup, and get yourself mentally ready for next week.

    @murdog3t, in spite of all the unknowns in your little world right now, you are in control of what you are eating and doing, and it showed on the scale. Well done!!

    @DaffyGirl88, glad to hear you are feeling a bit more like yourself today. And basically a wash on the weigh-in this morning is super, considering we are following a long weekend! Enjoy your day off!!

    Hey TBBT, My past couple of weeks have been crazy. I have had some things going on that has kept me busy and exhausted. I have not been doing a very good job at being a team co-captain and responding or being encouraging and supportive to you guys. I apologize for that. I also have not been taking good care of myself either.
    I need to learn how to manage fitness and diet when everything else is not going smooth and to plan. I think that is where a lot of us struggle.
    Have a great weekend. I'm going to use the weekend to get caught up and regroup and try to figure out how to keep focus while manaaging stress and unexpected events.

    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!!

    @HASWLRS
    A great way to spend your time waiting. I know that soon I will be doing my share of waiting and I was thinking about what books to take to read but I am feeling inspired to walk instead.

    @thedestar and @brandi_84, I hope you can both come up with a plan this weekend to manage your currently crazy, stressful lives! It seems like every time we get on a roll, the universe stops us in our tracks! My second day with interrupted sleep and I didn't even try to stay on track!! And of course, tomorrow is weigh-in day.....

    Brandi, as far as walking instead of waiting, I don't know if I would have even been allowed to come in with him? And if I was, I would have had to sit there the whole hour with a mask on (it's mandatory here). No thank you, if I can be outside, walking, and without a mask!
