    Last minute plea for some week one weigh-ins:
    @gwamajtw91

    So sorry, completely forgot to post the weigh-in update!
    It was the same as the week before 163.6.

    @TeresaW1020 and @bunniphu looking good!

    @Firefly743 I just ran into a girl who used to work for me. She's about 40yrs old and has been heavy for as long as I've known her. Anyway she looked amazing. Healthy, fit and slim. She said she started doing a kettle bell workout to get rid of the extra weight she gained during covid.

    As far as the age assessment test goes I would use it as a marker and see if you can bring the number down.

    @TeresaW1020 and @buniphuphu
    Long whistle---- wow! You look amazing.

    @Firefly743 - The really snarky thing I'm thinking about your health assessment is they boil all that stuff into a nasty potion that allows them to increase your premium. I've had that done to me before. There's enough obstacles to getting healthy without ones like that. Keep your chin up. You are doing great things. I don't think your post was whiny, it was honest about how you were feeling. Sharing feelings is how we support each other.

    Happy Monday to all!

    @TwistedSassette I hope your MIL heals quickly, sounds like you're all dealing with a lot. Good luck with her!

    @buniphuphu I'm always amazed at how much you swim, you're doing amazing! There's a big difference in your photos.

    Monday check-in
    Exercise- arm cardio, stretches, arm resistance bands, core

    It's chilly tonight, I just put my heating blanket on the bed and fired it up, there's no way I'm taking off my flannel unless that bed's warm! Nothing new, I'm doing ok with adding back in a little cardio, it's not what I was doing a month ago but it's enough, I'm more concerned with keeping my back as strong as possible as it's been worse with all the nerve issues and lack of leg exercise.

    @Firefly743 I was just curious so I checked on the HASFit website and typed in kettlebells, they have a program you can pay for but I always did the free ones on YouTube or their website. Here's the kettlebell ones: https://hasfit.com/?s=&keywords=kettlebell&workout_length_min=&workout_length_max=

    @TwistedSassette Oh dear, she is lucky to have you guys to help her! That's a long distance to go. I hope she heals up nicely. That's good you can go to work to escape. Hang in there!

    @buniphuphu Congrats on the loss, you continue to inspire me! Wow, great side by side comparison, you can really tell the difference!

    @adhmrh Another awesome day, congrats!!!

    Hi everyone. It looks like there is a possibility my full-time hours will be reinstated at work (I was put on 20 hours a week after being furloughed for several months due to COVID). If that happens, I'm going to have to re-balance everything I do. I'll still work from home most of the time but I'll have a lot less free time. But I need the money, so I hope it happens.

    Calories: over/under: over
    Water: over/under: under
    Exercise: ----
    - track 90% of food intake - 100% accomplished
    - drink 2 (26 oz) bottles of water a day - 50% accomplished
    - meditate for at least 15 minutes a day - not accomplished
    - put my utensil down between bites - 100% accomplished
    - leave at least 3 bites of food on my plate at each meal - 50% accomplished

    Just checking in on Tuesday nite .... that I have been forgetting to check in daily 🤪
    👍 Have been doing okay with fitness goals, not so much on the ‘drop-those-chocolate-chips-lady!’ type of moments, though I AM getting better ( whew!)
    ❤️ I love reading through all your posts- that alone helps me do my thang - keep up all your fantabulousness !! 🌸

    @raleighgirl09 Congratulations on your new job!

    @admrh Great attitude, you got this!

    @leonadixon Glad to hear recovery is going well!

    @TwistedSassette Great job squeezing in workouts, you must be exhausted at the end of the day.

    Tuesday check-in
    Calories- under
    Exercise- arm cardio, core, stretching, little legs

    I'm trying to carefully add back in a little leg strengthening, will see how it goes. I actually worked up a sweat doing arm cardio today (doing about 15 minutes), it was nice to "earn" my shower as @Jugar and I say!

    @raleighgirl09 CONGRATULATIONS on the job offers!

    @adhmrh Sorry about the gain, there is so much good stuff in your week last week, you really rocked it and you were robbed at the scale. That has happened to me, too and it's a bummer. You have the right attitude, keep going, and don't give up, just remain consistent and those losses will come! Hugs to you! <3

    @leonadixon WTG! And yes, keep swimming!!!

    @TwistedSassette Thanks! It is difficult to rebalance but I'll figure it out. As you said, we all wing it lol! It sounds like you did have a busy day, but a good one! Hang in there, it will be the end of the week before you know it!

    @SammyDee2015 Can you get them out of the house?

    @TeresaW1020 Thank you, I will. And since I can work at home most of the time, it won't be too hard. Shopping and lunch sound like fun. I will be thinking good thoughts for your Friday weigh-in!

    Hi all. I had a bad day yesterday, was experiencing a lot of anxiety and depression. I had to "wrap up in my cocoon" so to speak and protect myself. I feel a bit better today, thankfully. But it's no fun when I have days like that. I hope today is a better day.

    Tuesday:
    Calories: over/under: over
    Water: over/under: under
    Exercise: walk
    - track 90% of food intake - 100% accomplished

    Check in day: Wednesday
    PW: 130.8 lb
    CW: 130.8 lb

    I was waiting and hoping to drop in the next 10’s, but it didn’t happen and probably it’s going to be a while with my rate of 1lb/mo.
    I’m off work today and it’s going to rain all day so my plan of walking 2h is out and I have to choose between running errands or watching tv while on the stationary bike . I did not touch the bike in almost 2 months and I’ll break that “fast” today.

    100 days challenge, day 51, Nov 10:
    - eat within calories: ✅, 39/51
    - walk 14,000 steps ✅, 36/51
    I played with my spreadsheet and changed the failing count as over maintenance for eating and under 12,000 for steps. Changed little on the spreadsheet, but a lot in my head and I’m grateful for these posts for teaching me to be flexible and patient.
    Have a good day everyone!

    I am having arguments with my scale this week due to sodium-related water retention! I did overeat last night, but not enough to have gained 1kg overnight! Hoping today is a little more normal for eating and then I can get back to what I know my actual weight is. We've had a lot of takeaway food this week and it's really affecting me - I feel so bloated! Tonight I will be cooking fish so that should be nice.

    Can you believe we are halfway through our 100-day challenge?! :open_mouth:

    100 DAY CHALLENGE GOALS
    Day 50: Wednesday 11 November
    1. Log calories eaten: Yes - 32/50
    2. 20 mins exercise: Yes - 27/50
    3. Record a calorie deficit: No - 25/50

    Daily check in - Wednessay.
    Managed to drink a huge glass of water instead of binging on sweets in the wee hours last nite ( yay me) and although I oopsied today I made sure my intake of calories balanced well, if not my macros.
    Charging on... to infinity and beyond!! 🌸

    Good morning, Slimsters!
    Catching up here after a couple of crazy busy days.

    Yesterday went well. I stayed on track with food and got in over an hour of exercise.

    @trooworld
    👐🏽 I am so glad you had a better day. I think paring down those goals is a smart thing. If we make goals to much of a stretch and can't win day-to-day, they aren't so helpful.

    @Katmary71
    👍 Yay for calories under and a great exercise day yesterday! I hope today is going well, and that you feel well enough to "earn" another shower.

    @SammyDee2015
    🌊 Woohoo! Water instead of a late night snack -- what a great win! And double yay to being in the green for the daily calories! And as to fantabulousness -- oooh, than you for yours!

    @TwistedSassette
    🧂 Water/sodium related weight bounces can be frustrating, and you sound like you are taking it in stride, which is great! I hope last night's fish dinner put you on track for a more normal water level and weight number!

    @GretchenReine
    👐🏽 Oh, my. I am sending all best wishes that the quarantine is just an inconvenience. And in the midst of that, I am impressed that you got your weigh-in done! You are so determined!

    @GabiV125
    ✅ Hurray for maintaining! It sounds like you are losing at a slow, steady rate that works for you! And I'll bet breaking the "bike" fast helps nudge things along -- great choice!

    @TeresaW1020
    💗I loveloveLOVE your graphic from yesterday, about not focusing on a diet with an expiration date, but on making long-term changes!

    @leonadixon
    Oooh, you go, girl! Awesome weigh-in! And hurray for figuring out what the right level of exercise is for you and your body right now.

    @admrh
    🔥 This was all so inspiring to me! I love the goals and the accountability to yourself and what you want, and I superduper LOVE the not getting stopped!
    Log every bite and stay within calories: 7/7 days
    30 mins exercise: 4/7
    6,000+ steps: 7/7
    Drink 96 oz water: 6/7
    7-8 hrs sleep: 6/7
    No sweets: 6/7
    Prayer and Bible Study: 7/7

    I am definitely healthier no matter what my scale says this morning. The scale will not determine my determination. Today is the start of a new week!

    @raleighgirl09
    🎉 Congratulations on the new job! That is great news! It sounds like you have found something that may be a really great match for you! So wonderful!
    I hope your stepdad's appointment goes well today, as well as it can. 👐🏽
    As you say, you so know what to do about the weight going up a little bit. Let us know if there is anyway to support you in the doing (the hard part!).

    @buniphuphu
    🎉 Congratulations on the great weigh-in! A big WOW to your pictures. So inspiring!

    @broncobuddee
    Well, I have reeled all the way back to Monday and am not seeing my check-in post. I think I had a typed-but-lost-it moment.
    I did weigh-in and I weighed exactly the same as the previous week.
    AustinRuadhain
    Weigh In Day: Monday
    Previous Weight: 138.5
    Nov 2 Weight 137.8
    Nov 9 Weight: 137.8
    My plan for the rest of this week -- more greens, less fruit, more exercise! 🥗🏃🏽‍♀️
    Especially the more exercise. External events are being so anxious-making for me, and I have friends and family members who want to talk lots about it all, and it leaves me feeling anxious. More sweat and more time outside walking may help!

    @SammyDee2015 your post reminded me of this image I saw the other day - all our small choices add up so good on you for that little victory!
    7j5bjkth2xai.jpeg

    @trooworld I think this probably applies to you as well - having too many goals can feel like climbing the ladder on the right!

    Happy Friday everyone!! Look at me, actually checking in here on my phone on my day off work! I usually go AWOL here on weekends as I usually check in from my work computer (shhhh don’t tell my boss!).
    I made the fish last night and finished with a great deficit. The scale was down slightly today, but not as much as I’d hoped. But I know it will move with time so today I’ll be making sure to get a lot of water in and stay active.

    100 DAY CHALLENGE GOALS
    Day 51: Thursday 12 November
    1. Log calories eaten: Yes - 32/51
    2. 20 mins exercise: Yes - 28/51
    3. Record a calorie deficit: Yes - 26/51
