    @imgwendolyn2015 I hope the fund raiser does as well as possible. Obviously these situations are highly stressed and I only hope you day goes without unnecessary barbs.

    If it helps I was once told 'if you wouldn't take advice from someone why would you listen to their criticism?' - came in handy on more than one occassion.

    I love that! Thanks for the advice!

    Back to exactly where I was 2 weeks ago. September has not gone well so far so I’m thankful to be kind of holding steady.

    Not being able to use the forums on the app has basically made me stop using the forums but today it is working so fingers crossed I can go back to keeping up with what everyone is doing - it helps me stay focused to read other people’s celebrations and struggles.

    @hipari even if you haven’t been logging you haven’t quit and you’re still showing up here. That is huge. I know it’s so easy to just give up altogether and stop showing up when things aren’t going how you feel they should.

    I was just giving myself a talk about this during the week. I was thinking of quitting the group because of the app not working and the fact I’m too stressed/exhausted during the working day to come here on my computer (and after work I do not want to be on the computer). But I stopped and asked myself “if you were still losing weight like the last few months would you be thinking of quitting”. I realized the app was an excuse. I felt like quitting mainly to get out of admitting I’m not exactly killing it this month.

    So I’m staying.

    And admiring all those of you who stay connected when it’s not going the way you want it to.

    The good news is that the uptick last week WAS just water weight! Now I just have to stay on track. 😊

    I am sorry but I need to restart, I have been doing poorly and I am regrouping my thoughts and putting a plan together for a fresh start. Please carry my weight over. I don't want to face the scale and feel disappointed. I will never give up, just need to readjust my attitude and keep trying, few weeks ago everything clicked in place but stress increased and it gets me every time.

    This needs to be the law. We need a list of offences that allow you to give someone a bop on the nose;

    1. Bragging about losing weight whilst putting in zero effort
    2. Lining up several people abreast across a foot path and not giving any room when somebody comes along
    3. Reaching over someone for something when shopping as if social distancing didn't exist
    4. Parking your vehicle on a pavement so wheelchairs and pushchairs have to go in the road
    5. Stopping to look at your phone/smoke a cigarette/say goodbye to a friend/whatever non-emerency reason right in front of a door or escalator, blocking it from everyone else.
    6. When using elevators, going in first but staying in front next to the doors so others have to go past you in a tight space to get in the elevator
    7. When entering the elevator first and not pressing the damn button while standing in front of it (this is especially applicable when there’s only one floor the elevator goes to)
    8. Parking your shopping cart sideways on an aisle instead of parallel to shelves so it blocks the aisle while you look for what you want / try to make a decision / read labels / whatever
    9. Entering a public transportation vehicle before letting out the people leaving at that stop/station, or standing right in front of the doors so you’re blocking others from exiting
    10. Not holding the door open for people with wheelchairs, child prams (what’s the right word?), walking aids, big luggage etc.
    11. Taking photos in dressing rooms (there’s a thousand places to take ”yayyyy at the gym, getting the pump on” selfies, a dressing room with other people isn’t one of them)
    12. People who don’t return shopping carts
    13. Not saying hello or at least nodding to acknowledge on walking trails
    14. Dog walkers that let their dogs poo on trails and don’t pick it up.Whew, this felt good.

    15. Parking your car so it takes up 2 spaces in a full lot/garage.
    16. Being asked "did you win?" when you tell someone you ran a half marathon (or marathon, or biked 100 miles etc).
    17. People that let their dogs run loose to chase bikers/runners.
    18. Standing in line behind someone at the store - only to have them wait until everything is rung up and they hear the total to even. get. out. their. wallet. and start to look for their money or credit card.

    We should probably start a "grateful" list too - just to keep things balanced. We'll start that after we're done with this one!

    I'd like to take a pass for this week. Sounds like lots of us are in the dumps right now. For me, I think it's a change of seasons - although I love fall - but the skies are gray and the days are noticeably shorter. I have been eating anything and everything in sight. And if it's not in sight, I drive to go find it! I actually feel physically ill from it all. Today I'm pulling myself together, will start tracking again, get some exercise, and get back on track.

    @Beka3695 - sounds like you are doing great! Keep it up!

    No, you are fine. We post weekly results on Sunday for the week prior. You are just an early week weigher 😁

    I have a 2 hour window before TS Sally starts dumping rain on the Florida panhandle. Little man is still asleep. I dare not wake him as he has been a little dictator lately. We have been calling him Blake Jon Un... I’m sure he will be up soon.

    I am dressed and hopefully we can get a walk in before the rains set in.

    I hope everyone has a wonderful, goal hitting day. Let’s channel the success of @LaurieWrobo!!!! Track your food and move your body!!

    Good Morning!
    I am back from vacation (only was off my main job) but I needed tha time.
    I did a little meal prep last night.. so today and tomorrows lunch is steak strips with water chestnuts and garlic.
    I also bought a new water glass for my office.
    Its 22ounces. I want to go through 3 of these each day before my main job is over.
    I am cutting out beer Sunday - Thursday. Only allowing wine.
    Lunch is almost upon me and I AM going for a walk. I need to start getting away from my desk more.
    I am also proud of myself for getting into bed before midnight and felt much better getting up at 8am. I am going to keep striving for earlier times so I can get a morning walk in. Its just so hard when I dont leave the house with my main job and just move over one room LOL
