Busy day today! Had two National Day of Prayer events today and they were wonderful. Hubby and I stopped at a coffee shop and I got that dog gone cinnamon roll... :-( But it was good! I took a walk after that to walk some of it off. Tomorrow is another day. So thankful for this challenge. I am in a better mood these days and for that I am so grateful! Blessings to you all!3

For some reason I can't get into MFP to log my food. I've been trying for a while now. What's up? Does anyone know?0

Hi all, I'm thinking of switching to maintenance for a bit after this month.

@AustinRuadhain Thank you! I am feeling a bit better today. Yes, that is interesting...just 2 years ago, we'd be like, "What did she say?" lol! Have a great day!
@TeresaW1020 Yeah, I think it is either the beginnings of a cold or allergies (although I took allergy medication). Yes, I will attend both virtual and in-person WW meetings when I can. How long are you going to do the new eating plan for? I hope the scale is nice to you!
@TwistedSassette Congrats on the loss! Yeah, I figure, I hate walking by myself (I find it boring) so why not reward myself with something I enjoy, like a WW meeting?
Thanks, I am feeling a bit better today. That's fantastic that you had such a good day yesterday and lost at the scale! It does indeed prove that balance works! I hope the toddler feels better soon. 
@askewcr Life/cinnamon rolls will happen...as you say, it's a new day and life is about balance. I'm glad you are finding this board helpful and that MFP is working for you again.
@davidj82 Congrats on the loss!
Hi all. I've had such a good week. Again, yesterday, I exercised and rewarded myself with a WW meeting. This time, I rode the dreaded spin bike! I was mindful of my eating this week, I only snacked on fruit, and it worked. With today's 5 lb loss, I'm only 15.6 lbs away from Onederland and I can feel that I am going to make it this time. I've officially lost 33.4 lbs to date. Thanks for all of your support!

I have been doing a 6 week challenge using the Erin Oprea fitness app. It gives you a daily workout & an optional meal plan to follow. I am on day 40 & have done all the workouts, but only followed the plan on week 1, then slacked off - hence the weight loss plateau! But at the end of last week I decided to follow the eating plan again this week & have lost another 1.5 pounds!!
@TeresaW1020 the post with the pound of muscle & pound of fat rings so true. We took "before" photos at the start of the challenge & on Monday I'll take "after" ones wearing the same clothes. Even though I may have only lost 3-4 pounds in 6 weeks I'm hoping that I will see a positive difference in my shape!
I'm seeing some great weight loss numbers this week from the Slims- keep it up everyone !!

Sorry my intro is so tardy…better late than never, right? Welcome to the new members and Haaayyyy to my old buddies! My name is Jennifer and I am a single mom of 3 adult children – son, Marcus, is 25 and in the Navy (currently on a Double Pump Deployment), oldest daughter, Sydney, is 24 and lives with her husband, Nick, about an hour south of me, and my youngest daughter, Hunter, is 21 and is still at home with me (college). I work in Community Development for my county in Southwest Michigan (been there over 16 years now) and working 4 ½ days per week remotely, I love to rubber stamp (I’m a Stampin’ Up demo) and make cards. I'm an active member of my church (Board member), and also love horror movies (currently watching all the Saw movies in preparation of Spiral coming out) and books. I've been vegan for over 9 years, but fell into the usual junk food/fast food/convenience food trap and need to lose about 45 pounds. I had lost 60 pounds several years ago, but, like most people, most of it reattached itself to me like a sea lamprey. I started on WW (green plan) just over a month ago. I fell off the wagon in the middle of it for about 10, but I’m back on it again with a solid grip. I’m down 6.4 pounds since I started WW. Not as much as I’d like, but I recognize that’s my fault.
Update: I have had such a spastic, busy week. I kept wanting to get on here and chat with you all, but time really gets past me. I am feeling so much better (mentally) now than I was a couple weeks ago. I’ve been focused on healthy food choices, been off soda for 2 weeks now, and getting outside in the sunshine for some brisk walks. It has all done wonders for my mental health. My mother told me about a week ago that she wants to go back to WFPB (whole foods plant based) vegan. She has about 75 pounds to lose. She said this in front of Hunter, so now Hunter said she wants to get rid of vegan junk foods, too. It makes it so much easier when everyone is on board with the same eating plan.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and celebrate all the women in your lives on Sunday, whether they are human moms, fur-baby moms, aunts, sisters, cousins… ALL of them! We will be headed to the theater after church for some popcorn and a fun movie

@TwistedSassette I didn’t think I could drink coffee with butter either but it is truly delicious. I use a frother and blend it up until it’s all foamy and it’s just so very tasty!
Yayyy to using balance to enjoy yourself and still see the scale go down. That is exactly the mentality that will get you to where you want to be. 
@askewcr I say if you are going to splurge on a cinnamon roll it better be good! Good job getting a walk in to burn off some of the calories.
@davidji82 Nice loss this week!!
@trooworld Woot!! What a great loss you had this week! You just keep your eye on ONEderland and you will get there! How many cinder blocks do you need to lose to get to your goal and what will you build with them?
@gwamajtw91 That is a great weigh-in this week. What sort of eating plan does Erin Oprea have you on? What will you do when the six weeks are up? I bet you anything that your shape has changed even if the scale hasn’t moved as much. Building lean muscle really should be our ultimate goal and then the weight loss will follow.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I agree that it really helps to have the people around you on the same health journey. I hope your mom and daughter can help motivate you as you motivate them. Going to the movies sounds like a fun idea!
Hi Team! Well, I was super happy to lose a pound this week and I plan to stay focused and get into the 170s by next Friday! I did have a bit of a splurge today when my hubby took us all out for steak dinners for Mother’s Day. We didn’t want to have to deal with the crowds this weekend, so we went today. I made some good choices and had the mushrooms over the sweet potato, but I did have a beer. Tomorrow I plan to do another day of the high protein, low calorie and see if things balance out.
50 Day Commitment: Day 7
1) Track Food and hit my macros (carbs under 30 grams total): Tracked it all and had 47 carbs due to that yummy beer that I had with my steak dinner.
2) No snacking and no unplanned sugar indulgences: No sugar or snacks
3) Workout 6 days a week (Including the Butt & Burpee Challenge): lots of church cleaning
4) Fasting Hours (Goal is to 19+): 19 hrs. 36 min.

Today has been a good day! I am working on a project and was able to get a good vision for where it's going. Hubby and i went to Sam's and that was a good walk. We also went to Olive Garden and I didn't eat as many breadsticks as I normally wood. (Victory) I didn't go too crazy with my meal. Got a nice walk in too. Blessings to you all!3

@GabiV125 You made me laugh about acupuncture, i tend to think like you too. I waa telling the woman who work at this clinic how I'd graduated with an emphasis is research psych and wss applying to grad schools in health psychology when i was injured and was sure some of the things i was first trying couldn't work unless i was gullible enough to fall for them. The one thing i experienced that shocked me the most was an energy healer said i had a cyst on my ovary she was breaking up, i came home and was spotting and shouldn't have been. I had some relief with foot reflexology too.
@trooworld I love that quote!2 -
@vegan4lyfe2012 So glad to hear you're doing better!
@askewcr Sam's Club and Costco are serious workouts! I'm not going alone after 10 AM, i think because of Mother's Day it was extra bad.
Sorry for not replying to everyone and thank you for all the encouragement! I've had a lot of people question why i still work out but i know from my own and other's experiences i wouldn't be walking now otherwise. Went to Costco to pick up my new glasses and get a few things, i went alone and between the crowds and being in pain plus i strained my elbow i got really anxious and had to use a lot of relaxation techniques. When i was younger before my first surgery my legs would give out without warning so i started getting anxious in public because i couldn't trust my body. SO, I've had to work through it and I'm a lot better than i used to be. I go back to the clinic Monday, i won a discount in tbe drawing which is cool!3 -

Lost the weight this week I gained the week before. Now to focus this week on continuing to lose instead of the yo-yo effect and the plateau I've been stuck at for a couple of months in the 260 range. Need to push a little bit further to get to 100 pounds lost since my heaviest last Sept 1st. Cold in Indiana for Mother's day weekend but we'll be having fun nonetheless. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

No loss this week which is expected as I had tiramisu for 2 days in a row after dinner 🙈
I am also not getting enough water which is something I have to work on again. I really hope I get under 230 soon.
Have a great weekend everyone4 -

@TeresaW1020 @gwamajtw91 @mlhopp93 @askewcr Congrats on the loss!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm glad you are feeling better. That's great your mom is on board and so is Hunter. It DOES make it easier!
@TeresaW1020 Thank you so much! I have about 2 more cinder blocks to go, more or less, and I'm going to build a wall against the fat coming back lol! I'm glad you enjoyed the splurge.
@askewcr @AustinRuadhain Yay for another good day!!!
@RYcare Water is so important, I'm working on it, too.
Hi all, and Happy Saturday!!! I'm getting ready to go to walk at the same lake as last week. This time, it's my husband that is accompanying me. After that, I am going to a WW meeting for some inspiration. Then later, I will get an oil change which takes 2 hours at the dealership.
Have a great day!

@mlhopp93 That is great that you got the gain off and now you can get back into losing mode!
@RYcare Not much of gain considering the two days of tiramisu. Just buckle down and you will get where you want to be.
@askewcr What a fantastic week you had!! You just have to stay consistent and hold to the commitment to yourself to keep doing what works for you and you will keep seeing the scale go down.
@trooworld I hope you and hubby enjoyed the day and the walk around the lake. Does he go with you to the WW meetings? Ugghhh on the oil change! I hope you have a good book to read.
Hi Team! I was happy that the scale was down a little bit this morning even though I had that steak dinner with the beer. Today, I’m doing another high protein day and keeping my calories low. Tomorrow, I’m making individual Keto cheesecakes for Mother’s Day and I’m certainly looking forward to that! I’m teaching the kids tomorrow in children’s church and we are going to make the moms cute little cards that will look very much like this picture. They will love it and hopefully, their moms will too!

Two hours for an oil change? Did you take a book? Go for a walk? Something fun, I hope!

Woohoo! What a great weigh-in! You deserve to be proud! 👍🏽

Tiramisu sounds lovely! Hopefully it is all gone now, so make staying on plan easier this week. Drink all that water and keep up the rest of your great work! 🌊👍🏽
@mlhopp93
Wow! Huge hurray to your getting close to 100 pounds lost! 🥳
You sound ready to push harder to meet that goal!1 -
@trooworld Hope you had a great walk!
@TeresaW1020 How fun, have fun with the kids.
Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms in the group!
Not much new to report, mostly did gardening things and spent some time reading. I finally put the last cat on the leash and he was so terrified I'll never do it again. It took him 6 months to warm up to me and ever since I tried he's staying a few feet away, he hated it!3 -

@Firefly743 Congrats on the loss!
@19shmoo69 Wow, fantastic.
@TeresaW1020 We did enjoy it. It was really peaceful! He does not go with me, he does digital subscription only/app only. The funny thing about the oil change was that I went and only needed my tires rotated so it took an hour only (still too long!). Apparently, with the new Priuses, you only have to change their oil every 10,000 miles. So, next time it's both tire rotation and oil change. I'm glad you were able to enjoy yourself without repercussions on the scale. That's a cute project for the kids! I'm sure everyone will love it.
@AustinRuadhain Congrats on the 10K steps! Well done! Yeah, two hours for an oil change when I go to the dealership. But this time it turned out I only needed a tire rotation, which took an hour. I did take a book.
@Katmary71 Thank you, I did, it was nice! That's a bummer about the leash.
Hi all. Happy Mother's Day to those that have kids, furbabies, or act as a mother to others. I hope your day is filled with love and happiness.

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!!
