This is an awesome Friday! Great work everyone! After weeks of seeing the same number it moved and in a great way. Think it was swelling from my pulmonary edema and now that it's down the scale is moving again.

My healthy intention is to enjoy nature. I would love to walk my local trail and see if I can find some butterflies along the way and just reconnect with myself.2

My healthy intention this weekend is to do a long forest walk tomorrow with my backpack in preparation for my 25K Thames Bridges Trek this September. Looking forward to it! I shall also log everything. And I'm doing an online course on Sunday, so I will need to prepare my healthy snacks and water to save myself from "dangerous" nibbles.
Happy weekend, everyone!3 -

This weekend will be cold and wet here, but I still intend to get out for my walks as much as reasonably possible. I will also be doing yoga to fill in the gaps if required (and maybe on top of walking - we shall see!)
Got lots of healthy meals planned and looking forward to the mental break from work. Enjoy the weekend all.
My healthy intention this weekend is to do some “bridge work” both days. We’re walking back and forth across our local bridge to help us get ready for our hikes in Alaska this summer. In Florida the bridges are the closest things we have to mountains!
This is a good demonstration of ingenuity! Hills and mountains are quite a challenge, so you are smart to get ready. Going down is the toughest! Lace those boots tight
This weekend I will be getting ready for my first horse ride since my injury last year. Monday I'm going to take a lesson with my favourite coach to see where things are, as far as being out of shape for riding goes. So this weekend? A squat challenge, hip flexibility extra work, and no break from Pilates - core, core, core! It is the best thing for riding. Can't wait to get back to it!4 -
My healthy intentions for the weekend are stay in my calories and get some regular ballet workouts going again because it makes my hips feel better!4

Holy moly! That is some whoosh! Swelling and inflammation are a huge contributor to weight not moving - WTG! I am sure you'll be our top loser this week!3 -
Only 3 people coming up for a Saturday weigh-in, and one scale-less person catching up!

There have been some beautiful breakthroughs this month, some steady losses, and very few gains for the month. Great work! I know some people were worried with working from home, family difficulties, and other problems, and you have made things work anyhow. What a team. One more week to go - keep doing whatever it is that is working, and our April will be something to brag about.2 -

I dont remember my last weight, i know I was pretty disappointed with it though.
I had a rough week in regards to exercise and walking, but the food was mostly good, and judging by the scale that's what matters.. now if I can just keep it up...
Have a good day!2 -
My healthy intentions for this weekend are to soak up some sun. Its beautiful sunny here (just sorta chilly compared to Florida) and I want to be outside. It helps with my fitness and my mood.

Sorry I didn’t track any steps this week. I got a severe UTI. Almost and to go to ER for IV. But just felt awful. Still on meds till middle of next week. Hope to be back on track after that. Just not right yet.4 -
Feel better @sunny9847 .. I can relate to that situation... I once let a UTI go so long it traveled traveled my kidney and I was in the hospital for a few days... it's scary... hope you feel much better very soon!!
I had a nice moment this morning.. I has a few clothes in my closet that were previously too small that I can fit in today. Man I love that feeling!! One was a football jersey my husband bought me that we thought would just have to be for display.. seeing his smile was extra fun.5 -
I didn't check in at all Friday because I started my weekend early on Thursday night. The municipal boat launch opened so we were second in line to get our boat in the water for the season. I didn't have many healthy intentions for the weekend, as my hip is still recovering, but the weather turned gorgeous and of course, more rocks needed to be moved! Every neighbour on our block was out lakeside this morning doing yard work, it was really nice to see everyone at a distance after hibernating all winter.
I'm going to buckle down now that I've checked in and make sure my last weigh in for April is green! I haven't made it to goal yet, the slacking and celebration needs to wait a bit longer!3 -
A little early for sunset but still an awesome view on our bridge walk!6 -

The memory is playing tricks on you, Vikki! Last week you lost 2.4 pounds. This week another 1 pound. You are on a roll!1 -
@sunny9847 - I hope you feel better fast! Your steps are always so consistent (as you are with everything!) - let's hope you're back at it really soon.
I had a rather demented day. After running errands in the morning, I met up with a friend for a 5 mile walk with her two silly dogs. It was a beautiful day - reward for living through the 2 days of snow squalls Wednesday and Thursday, I figure. After my walk I was going to go and lunge my horse and let him enjoy the lovely day too. Well, 25 minutes or so into our walk, my son called me. He was in a small town over an hour away and had been stopped for speeding. The cop decided he needed a week without his license to think about his rather dramatic speed (on an empty road far out in the country). As a result, my son needed a ride home and a driver for his car. My friend and I put on the speed and made it back to her house in 20 minutes, but then I had to go home to pick up my husband as second driver. He was WAY off in the woods with his pet chainsaw, and I put in a personal best hiking many of our trails hither and yon until I found him. We finally had a lovely drive, picked up the miscreant, and I got to drive his Nissan Z car all the way home from there! Spiffy little number, but I drove it like the old lady that I am. He coached me on my shifting technique. We had a good talk. After all that, dinner was at 8:30 pm and now I'm feeling stuffed. Good thing I got in so many steps at such speed... and no fitbit to record it! The band broke yesterday and I'll get the replacement in a few days.
So, folks - only one more week for us to polish up our April stats - and it has been a very good month for us. Keep the roll going! Last weigh-ins due for the week:

Haaa thats funny, I've been very bad about recording my weight on here, i am just so over the flip flopping. I've been in the 160's for what seems like forever... I am doing lots of meal prep today. I am making chicken fajita bowls... I am going to try to recreate Chipotles cauliflower rice to go with it... hope it turns out well!
Have a great day

Hope you're feeling better soon @sunny9847. That's never fun!
Too bad about not having your Fitbit on you during your adventure @jugar! I hope there's not too many repercussions from your son's ordeal. I know with Québec the initial ticket can be annoying, but the increased drivers licence fee for the next 3 years can be astounding. I had a friend who was caught using the carpool lane when alone and the initial $150 fine was acceptable and understandable, but after 3 years of increased fees, that one action ended up costing her over $800. She definitely learned her lesson, albeit the hard way!1 -
@Gidgitgoescrazy now I need to google Chipotle's Cauliflower rice.... Fajita bowls are so good!1

Hi everyone! Dealing with a serious family illness here. My son in law has been moved to a bigger (hopefully better) hospital. He has had GI bleeding all week in hospital to the point of getting 6 transfusions. I have had my granddaughter 24/7 and am feeling a bit exhausted between caring for her, meals, supporting my daughter and being the communication person to get information to friends and family.
@jugar Liselyn, I think I really need to be put on support for the next week or two depending on what happens here. I miss you all. And I wish I had more time to take care of myself. But that’s not a priority right now.
On top of that, my phone is at the end of its life and everything takes so long or just crashes constantly.
Take care. I’ll check in when I can. ❤️Michele9 -

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!

I found my motivation: purchasing life insurance outside of my work plan (med exam including weight) & mother-in-law visiting in 2 weeks. The LI is pushing me the hardest. 😀😲5 -
