@evangsimmons170 How's *your* patient? My spouse (not "partner," which implies non-married couple) was actually very cool, calm, and collected post surgery. There was minor bruising and slight discomfort, but all in all, was fine.
I hope yours was, as well.
@micki48 Steps for the week:
Sun: 4,500
Mon: 5,300
Tues: 7,680
Wed: 6,800
Thurs: 6,200
Fri: 6,500
Sat: 7,000
The end of this week has been a bit wild in my eating patterns! Holy cow. We still have mini candy bars (not sure how) and I've been grazing on crackers...anything crunchy, salty, and then SWEET! Sigh.
Well, I plan to take a longer walk tomorrow...earlier in the day...and to also slow down my anxiety-eating.
Have a lovely weekend, y'all! Stay safe especially if you're going to Spas, restaurants, bars, or gyms. They're pretty high on the risk factors.
Off to bed and then to experience another warm (weird) November-in-Vermont day tomorrow.
xoxo

Steps today: 10,698
I ate well all day and I took a long walk (to Starbucks lol) with my son today so I had some room in my calorie budget. After dinner I went to visit my best friend and his husband and just caught up and had a few glasses of wine. It was so nice to be with them. Hope you all had a Happy Saturday.7 -
Morning all.
My weekend so far has been better then ever before food wise. I allowed myself a few planned treats, went a bit over on crackers and cheese but nothing like I've done the last couple of weeks. I didn't log as I'm trying not logging for awhile (messes with me too much).
I'm finding that since I did log for awhile last year I have a pretty good idea of calories in foods and I'm trying to avoid the calorie dense stuff.
I hope I stick it out today and the rest of the week.
Have a great week everyone.7 -

Sunday
PW 62.9 kg
CW 62.9 kg
LTD 5.9 kg
- I did not lose any weight this week.
- I could restriction my calorie intake to the amount I intended to, except last Monday that I had 2000kcal emotional eating due to work related stress, but then I managed to stop overeating for the other days.
- I excercised around 13 hours, that was 5 hours more than my initial goal.
- I couldn't have 8 gls of water per day and I had 5 glasses per day, so I have to try to improve this part of my plans.
- Unfortunately again this weak I was too busy with work and could not read team messages that this also made my motivation level lower than before, so for this week I plan to devote more time to read F2F messages.

@Pearl4686 and @mbakhtiaruz Thanks for the encouragement! I'm only a little annoyed since 169 was the lowest I hit back on WW all those years ago and I want to finally get past this point.
I'm sure when I hit my shark week it'll drop. =P4 -
WaistAways! We did not make it into the top 3 this week, but we had a good percentage of small green increments, so hang on - we'll hit a good whoosh soon. **Kittens** in gear - you know what to do! And @Terytha . You know how much I enjoy numbers, but you are NOT stuck on 169 just because it is the lowest you hit years ago. Promise.
Crazy Idea Department:
I just went through the whole team - it being the day for tallies - and I see that it would be easy to make 12 "pods" of 2-3 people, each within a fairly small weight range. I'm wondering if you'd be interested to have this kind of pod thing to add a layer to the team support. You could send each other a daily text, try to lose the same amount in a week, get in touch before eating the evil chocolate cake of doom or something - . Of course, I know that some of you are crazy busy and would have trouble adding one more thing, but if you're interested, make a squeak.
Here are the groupings just based on weight - it isn't the only way to do it, but just as an example.

I chose similar weight as a way to make the groupings since it is usual that you could lose at around the same rate and would be aiming for similar monthly goal weights. Give it a think and let me know if you'd like to try it! Or if you absolutely would not consider it. Maybe just a few people want a buddy to get some kicks in the SOP more personally6 -

@jugar The idea looks helpful, just I'm too busy these days and have a long list of TODOs in my bucket. So I m afraid with adding more task, I just give up on the whole weight loss plan. Maybe I join in the future to this plan, but not available for a daily chat at this month.1

Steps and exercise update for 7th November:
Steps - 3538
Exercise - 44 mins Full body strength workout
@jugar - sadly I can't commit to the accountability pairing that you propose - just not enough hours in the day for me to squeeze this in - as evident by me sending this update at 00:22 Monday morning!
Night night. 😴3
