@jugar So glad to hear that the drain is out! What a journey you've been on the last year. Glad the end (ha ha ha) is in sight. You have been amazingly patient with your recovery. I wish you well. Also, what a wonderful day to share with your son. A nice long drive and some needed conversation. Yay to him for being so responsible and saving up, rather than spending. Hope he has fun with it.
@conleywoods Great to hear your update. You made me laugh at loud with the bus comment. Oh how I remember those days. I want to thank you for sharing all your insights about your weight loss and how you are playing around with your numbers. It certainly has given me some things to think about.
@happimess01 You with your 1,800 calories to lose.
and we "taller" people. LOL. Come on just say it~men lose weight faster! Kidding aside, your losses and dedication is amazing and we are so happy to have you hear with us sharing your journey. Keep it up!!
@PlaneMonkey Ohhhhhhh you are so close!!! You've totally got this. I know that feeling. We are all going to do a big happy dance for you.
@Terytha I love that photo. Cats are so weird. <says lovingly as a cat owner> I saw this thing the other day that said Dogs prepare you for babies. Cats prepare you for teenagers!! So true. Just take out the "prepare you for" and add "are".
@Gidgitgoescrazy and @eggfreak I have the utmost faith that both of you will get yourselves back on track. Hang in there.
Ok, I think I have caught up with all those posts. So great to read everyone's updates. I have still been doing my pilates. This morning is was 15 minutes of Pilates with weights. I little more intense than some of them. Glad to get it done. I feel so better when I do it. I have not really been logging my food very well. Still a member of the Breakfast Club. We have had a couple salty meals this week, so hopefully I can wash it out with water before weigh in.
Severe storms here in the US South. Need to go and secure some stuff outside. Good thoughts for no hail or tornadoes today.
Make it a great day.

Happy Thursday team! I'm a little late to the party, but it looks like things are rolling along well. I hope those storms are not too terrible for those of you in the US Southeast. Tornadoes must be seriously scary.
I'm working on my "one perfect day" today. I need to get back on track after the enforced low-exercise weeks and trying to keep my blood from flowing into the wrong place
It has been easy to get used to more sitting around and boredom always wakes up my inner "Now what do I eat?" monster. So let's do this @Gidgitgoescrazy and @eggfreak and anyone else feeling a bit off the path. I have pre-logged the day, will do an adapted pilates and take a walk even though I cannot do much more than that for another week. I hate having to eat less! More exercise will start back up soon. I am seriously jealous of you 1800 calorie tall people @sunny9847 and the rest of us sub-compact models do not want to know...
The step team is amazing! I am impressed

CW 149.5 yo yo yo-ing!! But this time I'm not going to let it bounce back - what dramatic swings I've had and hopefully THAT'S over with. Will focus on heading down to the lower forties...again! More garden work ahead will help. Watching 'Gardeners World' on Amazon Prime with Monty Don - how inspiring and he's such a pleasant presenter.5 -

I am going to check out that gardening program. I have never watched it, and it sounds like a really good idea. Thanks for mentioning it!2 -
Had a good day yesterday, after I posted I got up and did a 10 min video, and stayed within calories, today I got up an did a 10 min spin class.... I know, I know it's not much, but it's what I can fit right now... Have a great day !5

@Gidgitgoescrazy every little bit helps!!!! You gotta start somewhere and it's the little choices that add up to the big results. You've got so much going on in your balancing act right now that I'm so inspired you get 10 minutes in each morning to exercise. I'm going to do my workout at lunch so I can colour that square on my habit tracker and my week will be complete!4

Greetings team!
it is such a sunny day today - cold, but gorgeous. That sun is getting brighter every day. What are your plans to celebrate the equinox tomorrow?
I am planning on spending as much time outdoors as possible, and hopefully visiting a friend who has the biggest, craziest vegetable garden I know of. He promised me some seeds for the best parsnips ever (we share a passion for the ugly things) and I'm sure there will be stories to go with them. He is a very cool Polish man in his 70s who made his way to Canada as a 17-year-old. He fell in love and married young - his wife became a medical doctor in her 40s after their 2 sons had made it to adulthood. They have a kind of commune - a farm with 3 attached residents. I always love visiting them - conversation is never boring, and we laugh a lot. Tomorrow should be warm enough to stand around outside. Some company will be a great way to start the new season.
Enjoy your day! I'm inspired by @Gidgitgoescrazy and @PlaneMonkey to get the exercise going even if it is only a short time. Thanks for that!5 -

I just want to thank everyone for being so inspiring and encouraging. I feel privileged to be on this team. Keep up the great work everyone!6 -
Look at all the lovely green on the spreadsheet! We are definitely celebrating the green this week.
After a great cooking project day yesterday (I declared it "use every gadget in the kitchen day"), today was "brain malfunction while cooking day". I decided to make a gluten free cottage pudding (upside down cake - this one with peaches) so the tall guy would have something sweet he could enjoy. I have a recipe that is fantastic - it is kind of a spice cake batter and it tastes amazing over fruit. So I was making this, got it all ready, and put it in the oven. About ten minutes later I walked by the wood stove and saw the little pan with the melted butter. That was supposed to be in the cake. Oops. It was too late, so we ended up with a fat free gluten free cake! It took longer to cook but it is actually really good. If it wasn't over so much fruit it would be too dry, but it works ok like this. And then I burned some other stuff a little while later. It was not my day for cooking, so I gave up!
I hope all of you did better than that - and that your day was lovely. Heads up to the Saturday people:

I'm not focused on this weight loss this month and haven't been doing a great job of tracking everything. I'm still in a rebellion phase for having too many small habits that I have to remind myself to do instead of them being my routine. BUT I am still checking in and still watching the scale. My eating isn't too bad and I am getting steps though fewer than before. My husband bought me an apple watch and that ruined by fitbit vibe... So I am adjusting to that new habit as well.6 -
Happy Equinox!
I appreciate everyone's sharing and hope this new season will help us step out of the doldrums and into better frames of mind. I know it's getting better for me, which makes it so much easier to shift into a less resistant, adolescent address!
I've been waking up pretty early some days (like 3:45 and 4:30), and find myself thinking about the list of exercises to do in order to be ready for a 3-day myofascial release seminar in mid-May. It's a good thing my OH is a sound sleeper. Practicing "clam shell" and "mini-bridges" prior to getting out of bed doesn't interrupt anyone except Lucy, the cat who sleeps on my legs!
The weather is supposed to be unseasonably warm today (possibly over 60 F), so I plan to do some outside activities after dropping off the trash and recycling 6 miles away. I find during this change of season that I'm more attracted to eating simpler salads with fewer dressings and decreases my interest in heavy, fried foods. Using the AirFryer has been hugely helpful this winter. It's quite the thing to use when craving that crunchiness without having a bunch of oil all over it...just a wee spritz and voila! just right.
I hope the inclement weather in the South is calming down now. Be well and safe everyone.5 -
Happy spring! energizing time of year to get moving! I haven't been logging, haven't been habit tracking but feel okay about it - trying to take a page from @jugar and bulk up on veggies as much as I can (trying some easy sheet pan recipes & must get the grill going too) and I think of you @Gidgitgoescrazy whenever I sprinkle a little salt on my fruit - mainly bananas - I never knew what I was missing.3
