Glad your covid test was negative and that you are feeling better! You're welcome, I try to remember but can't always remember.🙄1 -

Great loss!1 -
@ljdanny
Thanks my back is feeling a little better.
I hope you can get your surgery and that will help your feet.1 -
Friday check in

Got my Apple Watch, so much to learn! I can get mfp data to go into the Apple Health app, but I can’t get the step info to go from the Health app into mfp. 🤨 I’m sure when my son gets home he can figure it out! Lol.
I tried the chocolate hummus, it’s pretty good. One of my old snack habits was Nutella and pretzel thins (which I have avoided for 3 months!) and this is a pretty good substitute.
Wow, you guys are so great. I just don’t have the time to respond individually, but I am reading through all posts a bit at a time through the day. My To Do list is sooo long this weekend! Hope all of you have a great weekend!

Friday 9/25
Food: good
Water: 40 oz
Exercise: 10 minute short walk
After work I slept for about an hour and a half and then called my doctor's office. I've been having an issue with my feet and lower legs being cold all the time. My nurse friends told me not to wait to long to get checked out. They're thinking it may be a vascular type issue.
I'm being squeezed in next week with one of the PA's. I haven't seen this PA before but I'm sure she will be fine.
I went to the library for a while and stopped by my chiropractor to see if they could fit me in next week. They told me if I could wait a few minutes they could squeeze me in. Wasn't expecting that. He definitely could tell I needed an adjustment. Back is feeling ok and hopefully will continue to feel good.
I had a mammogram on Monday and got a letter that I need to go back for some more images. I've never had to do that before so it concerns me a little. The tech who took the images was different than the last few times so I do wonder if she didn't get good enough pictures. I do have a cyst on one breast that's been there for years and was checked out by a surgeon in 2012 who said it was nothing to worry about unless it got bigger. I have to call to make an appointment. Hopefully it's nothing.
I spent the rest of my evening sitting outside with my nurse friends since I didn't have to work last night. It was nice sitting with them instead of waving as I go to work.3 -

Figured it out, all on my own, didn’t even need a teenager! 😂

@debbiewsharpe i think you sound more like a building undergoing renovations! With the cataract surgery you will see colors you haven’t seen in years. And it sounds like everything else is under observation. So hey - you’re doing great! I look forward to seeing your recipe and I’m excited that it freezes well since I live alone. That will be perfect!3

Sorry to our captains for being late with my weigh in. Where did September go? There is only one week left! Yesterday was so busy & I forgot to weigh in when I woke up at 6 am. I am happy with this weigh in and am chipping away towards goal, which is 6.7 lbs away. I am not a tall person, so am still in the “overweight” category until I hit 141 lbs. Oh to be taller! I have been doing IF and been eating lower carb, but playing around with that to see how it works with weight loss. I am still catching up on posts, but I am so inspired by everyone’s workouts, updates and weigh ins! Our Covid cases continue to be elevated here, and there will undoubtedly be more closures again. My kids are still struggling with what school is like during this pandemic, but even with the risks, I see a positive difference in their moods now that they are doing in person school. We have amazing weather here this weekend, so I am going to get out to enjoy it. Hope that you all have an amazing weekend!
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx - Thank you for sharing about your daughter and for your post about failure. I so agree with you. I always tell my kids that it is ok to fail and it is what you do next that is so important.
@pacsnc6 - Congratulations on that NSV! New jeans, amazing!
@ljdanny - Congratulations on losing that lb. I know that it has not been easy this month. I forgot about your upcoming surgery and hope that all goes well. Take good care of yourself!
@kirsten11872 - Congratulations on conquering the yo-yo and getting so close to goal! That really is an accomplishment! And fitting back into your clothes is awesome!
@lenka1 - So sorry that you all got sick. Eating junk is so understandable in circumstances like that. You have done so well though and can get right back to it now that you feel better!
@GingerPwr - We have missed you and congratulations on getting through the first 6 weeks of school!
@debbiewsharpe - Sorry about that cyst and glad that it was not anything more serious. Good luck with that cataract surgery at the end of October and take good care! You are certainly not a condemned building! Condemned buildings could never walk the amount of steps that you do in a week!
@mainebeachbum - It takes a bit of time to time love the AppleWatch in my experience, and then you can’t live without it. It is best to get your son to help you with the technicalities of the Watch and the app. My 14 year old gave me a tutorial in the beginning. He had limited patience for me, but was able to help me navigate through it. He loves to call me and my mom “Old & Older”!

Hi all! I had yesterday off and didn’t stop running all day with three appointments and shopping, plus had my hubs birthday dinner out with our good friends. I ate pretty much everything and had wine - I hadn’t drunk alcohol since we went camping this summer. We aren’t in the habit of drinking much at our house, usually just when going out with friends. Birthday celebrations continue tomorrow with our fam.
I did get a loss this week but Tom is upon me.
Last weight 159.4
Current weight 157.8
Loss of 1.6
Ltd 61.6
Happy with this. Have been stuck for a while so was glad to see something happen.
I have a busy morning. Will be doing yoga flow class and then heading out with a friend for a hike at some trails out of town. Very excited as I haven’t gone there yet this year.

I also lost an additional 175 lbs this week. I finally had the courage to end my relationship. Hopefully I will be able to stand by it.
I apologize, I haven’t been keeping up with posts at all. I have continued to go to the gym and work out as much as possible. Hope everyone is doing well!10 -

@cafelelia
Oh to be 141 pounds! That's probably around where I should be too. Also a short person here. Depending on who measures me at the doctor's office I'm either 5'1 or 5'2. I'm a long way from that but working my way to it.😊
I get really behind on posts too and most of the time end up just reading the ones on the page that is the most current. So nice that we all feel so comfortable posting through out the day. I'm also inspired by everyone else.
I don't have kids but I do believe in person school is better for them. Seeing their teachers and friends has to be much better for their morale. I know that personally I would not do well with virtual school.3 -
@kirsten11872
Great loss!1 -
Me at 209. I’m super proud. I found those pants in my closet and they have never fit me. I bought them 6 years ago and they didn’t fit then. Although I doubt I have much of a loss next week because this weigh in was a fluke. I wasn’t feeling good yesterday and I didn’t eat much. Today I’ve ate all day. 😁8 -
Hi, All!
@goingape I got the chocolate hummus at the local grocery store in the specialty cheese area.
I had a very busy day today, but I think this watch counts steps differently because I seem to be way higher than I would normally have been with my FitBit. I am over 15,000 already! So I thought I would share some pics of my day.
Almost done with the back deck-I just have to put the last coat on the decking tomorrow. I wouldn’t recommend a three color deck if you don’t have patience! It’s taking forever to complete!
So how does the watch know I was walking my dog? Kinda weird...
The foliage is starting to peek out here in Maine. These were taken along the new route I found that I had walked a few weeks ago.

debbiewsharpe wrote: »Sorry folks, I am 5 days behind on posting, this has been a heck of a week. I have had 3 doctors appointments this week and 2 of them were an hour away. Long story short. MRI showed cyst on pancreas. It is too small for surgery (good news) but this is something that will require an MRI every year for the rest of my life. It is in a place that it can be removed if it grows between now and next year. If I develop any symptoms I am to call my doctor immediately and go back in for a different test that is much more invasive. I feel fine and hope I continue to. My lung doctor and pancreas doctor are in the same building so I will try to schedule yearly CT scan of lung and pancreas MRI on the same day and also schedule the follow up appointments with the 2 doctors on the same day. Both places are an hour away so it makes for a long day. I also went for yearly eye exam. I can’t see very well, especially at night. Cataract surgery is scheduled for October 27. I feel like “if I was a building I would be condemned” but as I often say “I will keep on keeping on…..”
Debbie, I feel like “If you were a building, a few top architects in the same building would be looking to restore you to your amazing glory.” Be well my friend. Big hugs. 🤗

@1heresamcvean it does. I knew I would have a decent loss this week because I knew I was high for weigh in day last week. But you’re right it still feels good. I wanted below 210 before the end of the month. So I’m very pleased.
@debbiewsharpe thank you!!! Maybe I’ll end the 5 weeks at 205. Doubt it but a girl can dream right.3 -
Grrr. I just wrote a lovely long post and it’s out there somewhere in the ether. I’m not great with MFP on my phone but already have my feet up after a busy week.
From memory, here’s the gist of it.
I will post my weigh in tomorrow after a sedentary week. I’ve been at my desk, head down working to launch the new business while also doing genealogy work for clients. It’s a solitary business and I know I’m on a roll when I’m down a rabbit hole. That makes it tricky to come up for air.
I had Pippa and Gilbert yesterday. I’m not sure if I posted about this last night because I was wiped right out. I took them for a grand picnic at Christie Pits park. It was just lovely until an eager puppy dove right into our picnic blanket and was all, “I have a ball and want to play, plus your food smells so good!” My dog, Xavy, and Gilbert who’s 16 months, and Pippa, who’s 3, weren’t able to read his body language and were blown over literally and figuratively.
Until tomorrow, you are all great!4 -
p.s. I also wanted to recommend a documentary on Netflix called The Playbook. It’s a five part series with some amazing sports coaches sharing their rules for life. Legends like Jose Mourinho, Don Rivers, Jill Ellis, and a couple more. Great inspiration!1

Week 4
PW: 171.9
CW: 171.6
LTD: 46.9
Weight is from Wednesday. Pleased to see it go down a little, but must admit I have not really been overly focused since hurting my back last Saturday (my son was teaching me karate!). My back is feeling a little better now, so hoping to be back exercising a little more this coming week. Just can't seem to get my head back in the game properly...
Will spend some time later reading through some posts from this group that I have missed - I'm sure that will help motivate me!4 -
@Freeglerock
I find it hard to focus on food and exercise when I have pain issues too. Sorry about your back. Glad it's feeling a little better. I've never done karate. Sounds like fun!
You'll get your head back in the game! I have confidence in you! It took me a while too.2 -
Saturday 9/26
Food: good
Exercise: 2 short walks
My dad came over and gave me his old 32" TV. He got a larger one from the family he does yard work for (they got a wall mounted one). I didn't realize how small the one I had really was. I think 19".
I spent my day doing a load of laundry and did some cooking. One of my friends in the condo complex gave me a mason jar with ingredients for minestrone, you just add water, potatoes and carrots. I made that and made one of the sheet pan meals from the class I took earlier this week. Ranch pork chops and potatoes. Both meals were really good and now I have meals for the week.
Another friend went away for the day and asked me to walk her dog. Poor Lacey, she missed mom. She didn't want to walk so I picked her up and carried her for a while and talked with her. We must have looked a sight.😊 I put her down and she walked a few minutes but didn't want to go anymore so we headed back to her condo, then she walked just fine.🤣
Later I sat outside with some of the neighbors and visited for a while.
