You've got Alarm-Turkeys! Just as annoying as roosters, I suspect, although they go off all the time. our neighbors have one. well, maybe the word is now "had". I didn't hear it at all the past day or so.conleywoods wrote: »Our living room windows are at ground level and at 5 am the sun shines on them and they have a mirror finish. The turkeys keep coming to the window and puffing up. Then they try and fight their reflection. Such a pain to have to wake up to them pecking the windows!
@jugar CW 192.2
That's what happens when I don't weigh in on time AND when living at Emily's in Winooski with a freezer full of frozen stuff I don't normally eat. Sigh.
Well, I'm back home now.
I'll have to get a variety of veggies back into my life and fridge. It's time to get walking more, too. Yay!
Have a great night. I'll be back soon.

@micki48 I'm currently at 192 with a goal weight of 175, and have myself set to 'not very active' to make sure MFP doesnt give me more movement credit than I deserve. When I set myself to lose 0.5lbs a week, I get 1737 calories, if I want to lose 1 lb a week, I get 1487 calories, and if I want to lose 1.5lbs a week then I only get 1237.
If you change your goal settings it recalculates each time depending on your current weight and choices. I know if I leave the higher calorie goal in my diary, I will eat to it, but if I put the lowest one, I will always eat more than the daily goal and get discouraged and upset by it. So I've been sticking middle ground and I'm learning to accept this is a marathon and not a sprint. It's going to take me a long time to get to my final goal but that will hopefully make it more sustainable and prevent too much saggy skin.
Play with the calculations and see what it gives you. I choose to not add in exercise credits because I find my Garmin doesnt track it all that accurately. (who climbs up 49 flights of stairs and only goes back down 12? All while living in a bungalow!
Just saying... 🤷🏼♀️3 -
Thanks for all the news and numbers - I am so glad I put in the ZERO challenge for this week and really committed to it. The temptations to have a sandwich, or some ryvita crackers with cheese, or a granola bar thing have been strong this past couple of days. I had decided to take in zero grains this week, and the challenge is helping me stick with it. I'm in the market for some good fruit snacks though. The cherries I bought Tuesday are so tasteless, I finally gave up and sent them to the compost heap (aka the raccoon restaurant).
Every muscle is feeling it tonight! I had a long riding session this morning, and the workouts have been a bit more intense this week. I love the feeling of well-used muscles telling me that they are a bit sore and whiny. I give them stretches to get them to shut up, and look forward to a fabulous night's sleep. I'll be the Epic workouts do this for you, @YinxFed and anyone else who is doing them!
So! Who is up for submitting more numbers?

Hello everyone,
I am Marie from Québec. Musician, swimmer, horse lover, mother of two boys. This is my 3 rd week, and I can't say that I had a good week... However, since joining this group, I seem to regain control faster when I use food as an escape or quick confort.
Unfortunately, I am still catching myself finishing both my boys plates when I have already had a fine meal... or digging ferociously into a minty black chocolate bar when I am really supposed to eat one tiny square...So... there is plenty of room for improvement.
The good thing is that I started running and I actually enjoyed running 2.5 km today. I felt proud and I hope I will be able to keep going.
PW: 131.2
CW: 131.2
Well, well... No loss... but no gain! I'll take that for now and I'll try to do better this coming week.
Thank you everybody for sharing...You are inspiring.

@PlaneMonkey Thanks for sharing your calorie settings. I kind of think around 1500 may be the place to be. I may adjust mine down too. 175 and I would be very happy. Right now I have a short term goal of 185. Today has been a good day calorie-wise. So if I can keep that up, it would be great. I also took my bike down from the shed. It’s been hanging out there for 10 years. Lol. Time to ride again if it still goes. 😄3

I didn't have a great food day😟 I don't know why but I was sooooo hungry this evening after the kids went to bed. Maybe it's been all the activity at the lake or I'm just in vacation mode. Basically I had a second dinner. I know I shouldn't have but it felt great to feel satisfied. I didn't stuff myself so that is a small victory. Time to get back on track right away though.
@jugar Great job on your zero challenge. I was thinking about doing it but was worried I couldn't do it. I need to get my sweet intake under control and stop eating chips. It doesn't help that I desperately need to go to the grocery store. I have to restock ASAP!4 -
PW - 215.4 lbs
CW - 214.3 lbs
I had two horrible days this week where I ate everything in sight, I blame Leptin lol. I am eating at maintenance for now and will move back to dieting in two weeks. Probably will gain 1 or 2 pounds next week, we"ll see.5 -
PW-158.8
CW-158.8
AHHHHHHHHH that damn number once again!!!! My goal for this week is to lose .9 pounds so I can see 157! I have been at 158.8 for far to long. Seems I have gotten comfortable and I need to make a change.5 -
Happy Friday!
Well, we have finally been having some rain, and now the sun is back out. Y'know that means weeding is on my agenda. I don't have kids at home to send out for that job anymore...

Friday weigh-in
PW 86.3
CW 84.6
Numbers are deceiving as this is mostly likely the water weight put on last week. Must try not to let that derail me. I'm still working through a crisis probably till the end of June so it's hard to focus on diet and excersize but I will try.
Have a great weekend

Morning all... happy Friday!
Work this week felt very stressful, two nights ago I worked until 10 p.m. so I turned last night around and Brad and I got out on the boat. I went swimming! I forgot that it's actual work to tread water and stay afloat in lake water... credited myself a workout for it between that and swimming a bit around the boat.
First day back on a deficit yesterday went well... I wasn't sure if it would feel like a massive adjustment and it definitely felt like I was eating less often, but I managed fine. I definitely think differently about the meals as I have to be super conscious of places to "save" calories so that it doesn't feel like I'm eating sparsely all day.
Have a good day all!5 -

I'm... ON VACATION!!
Don't judge me too harshly for my next couple weigh ins. We're exhausted and burned out and probably going to be ordering out and being lazy a lot.5 -
@Terytha have a great vacation!
Booked my hot air balloon ride today that my husband got for a wedding present.. we are going on August 3 (weather permitting). Felt great that my weight was within the limit to book online.. a huge source of dread for me before I started this.4 -
