Great that you have your Fitbit in order again, and you are in the running for the steps. You challenge everyone with your steps at work - challenge accepted!
@Gidgitgoescrazy
So good to see your grin and arched eyebrows! And your tune coming back into tune - give us an update whenever you can!
@ashleycarole86
So glad you got your first jab, and I'm right with you on the different kinds of workouts there. I find it helpful to have a separate the goals in different workouts sometimes. One workout does not have to do everything - something aerobic at one time of the day, some muscle work or stretching another time, angercize as needed
etc.
Looking forward to the zoom sesh! Next weekend maybe? That's my "real" mother's day weekend - my daughter was due on mother's day, but came a week late...3 -
A Zoom call sounds great!
Thanks for all the kind words, I know you're right; I have the house proud gene passed down from Granny and I am a perfectionist. I did just talk myself out of spending £90 on a towel shelf/rail for the bathroom and spent £45 instead - proof I can compromise.
The rain isn't letting up so I went running this afternoon with waterproofs on and plasters on my heels as a precaution. We went on a slightly different route as we need to be running further and I enjoyed exploring even if it wasn't the 'prettiest' run. Also tackled the hill that I hate.. it's not really any worse than the others we do, but when OH and I were running before he always wanted to do that circuit (often twice if we had time) and it's a very long climb. Maybe it is actually the longest climb we do if not the steepest, but in any case it really put me off - and OH's since learned to agree with me that doing it in reverse is far better!2 -
We bought a boat last week and took delivery today just in time for Mother’s Day. Definitely looking forward to staying active on the water! Also more motivation to get in better shape and stay there!4

That's great! Now you have to learn some sea shanties. You can work out to them if you're really feeling ambitious - here's a fun one (complete with dancing cat) to start with -

200 lbs, Requesting to be in the Support Team
Hi everyone! Sorry for the late start to the group. We had a family emergency and it kept me out of town all last week. I think this may go on for awhile, so I am asking to be on the support team and hang out and help in anyway I can to support everyone and check in when I can.
I live in sunny South Texas and honestly, have an amazing life. I have been very blessed but no matter how much I try, I cannot seem to lose weight. I am getting serious and am looking forward to really starting my weight loss journey with this group! Glad to be here 😘4 -
Sunday weigh in:
PW - 188.7
CW - 188.1
Yay

pw 291.4
cw 290.0
I had a decent week with tracking foods and staying under my target, but went over yesterday quite a bit. My son had prom last night and a group of parents went out to eat and the restaurant didn't have the best food choices. Ended up eating a half rack of ribs and had dessert. I'm sure my numbers would have been better if not for yesterday. Oh well, such is life, now off to a new week.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms!4

Morning all and Happy Mother's Day to all the lovely mothers out there as well as my thoughts to anyone who is missing a special mother in their life today.
At the trailer which means space is limited indoors so I'll have to brave the rain to get some exercise. Wish me luck!
Bought an air fryer (yupppp couldn't help myself) for the trailer to help making cooking certain things easier. Tested some frozen Brussels sprouts in them last night and it worked well. Looking forward to seeing what else it can do!5 -
Yay Moms!
I came to motherhood late, having my daughter at age 38. She was due on Mother's Day, but decided it was comfy in there (she already was not listening to me!) and arrived on the 16th. It was worth the wait, of course, but then I adopted the second who made me wait even longer! They are both amazing kids and I thank them for making the experience of being a mom pretty danged amazing. I really miss my mom today - last saw her Christmas 2019 and have not been able to visit since! She is turning 91 in August, and luckily my sister @EvMakesChanges is a whiz on Zoom and we'll have a good mother-daughters thing today at least
Tallies are done and we're still in the top 3! Not as great as our last week, but solid. Respectable. Hard work has paid off. Hats off everyone! Here's to another week of solid commitment to our health.
Before I forget,
Sunday weigh-ins due (thanks to our first 2 for getting right in there!)
@Yinxfed - well done!
@Terytha
@deniners2
@ob1msu - well done!

You're now in support team - and I am glad you are staying with us even in this tough time. Drop by any time, glean some inspiration from everyone, take a few deep breaths, and get back to the losing when you can. Hugs!texasruby354 wrote: »200 lbs, Requesting to be in the Support Team

I'll go back and make sure I did not miss any of you, but if you have not posted them yet, try to get that in today. Thanks!!3 -
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!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and sending love to those for whom Mother’s Day is complicated.
@gak71 congratulations on your new boat. And @jugar I love the shanty song especially the kitty bob! lol 😂 There was a great movie we watched about a town of fishermen who became famous for their shanty album. Can’t remember the name at this moment. But it was really good.
Glad to hear our week as a team looked good. Now, I need to get moving. Will check back later.3 -
