Awesome step!@tazaria87 if your lawn looks like those cookies it's amazing. You seem to do everything exceptionally.
@theresam787 it looks like you handled all the company rather well. You deserve a reward. A lovely walk along a trail on national trail day. It's also national black bear day but I hope you don't meet any of those.
To those who mysteriously gained this week, IT'S ONLY A NUMBER. IT'S HOW WELL YOU FEEL. YOU ALL ROCK.
Check in for 6/4:
Steps - 2461 plus 2 miles in 7 minutes on a bike. Moderate effort. 17mph. Stayed inside otherwise.
Calories - 1470 or so. Juicy watermelon for dessert.
Exercise - gym. 6 machines, mainly legs. Bike. Rubber legs had me stop early.
Eating bfast out tomorrow. Black bear diner. Probably take tomorrow off or just an easy walk.
Great job on the exercise! Yesterday was donut day but I ate no donuts. Gave my grandkids one instead. Enjoy your breakfast!Beautyofdreams wrote: »I had been extremely depressed for the past month with the skin grafts and lack of exercise. While I did gain weight, my measurements didn’t change and my clothes all fit. So time to get over this fear and do what I can control. Dr. expects the skin grafts will be finished by July. I hope so and can hardly wait to get back to weighted lower body exercises and walking. Transplant tells me to continue wearing a mask and social distancing though restrictions were lifted. Get to see them for my first two year visit this month. Will be complaining about the fact that no one wants to manage my low cortisol levels despite the fact that I can’t get into an Endocrinologist for months.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
It has to be incredibly hard to stop all the exercise you were doing. Good luck with your visit.4th june
Steps 5,885
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Treadmill has arrived woop woop. Did a little test walk on it yesterday and it feels great. Will do my usual dog walking this morning for my friends dog and then get on the treadmill 😊
Yay! Can’t wait to hear how it goes on the treadmill today.3 -
Check in for Friday
✅Steps 8,939
❌Sleep
✅Walk
✅physio 2/2
Lots of steps for me. I walked in the morning and I had to walk all over the hospital for my tests and doctors appointment in the afternoon. Nothing could be near each other. Sleep has been off 2 days but I know the culprit. I stuck to my plan with the pizza and I didn’t get up in middle of the night and eat the leftovers. The biggest surprise was the scale was actually down this morning. The scales are a very mysterious thing. A walk today will depend on how I feel after grocery shopping.
Happy Saturday!6 -

Wake up, coffee, walk, shower, help pack and say our goodbyes. I honestly don't know if I'll get in a walk, and if I do, it's probably going to be super short. I've already talked to myself (yes, I do that a lot, and yes, I do answer myself). If there isn't time for a walk, there isn't time. If I don't hit my step goal, I don't hit it. I get so wrapped up in these goals, I forget that its to make me healthy, not neurotic.
I'm looking forward to reading everyone's posts. Have a great night!
@TheresaM787 - Great mindset and I couldn't have said it better. The real end goal is to make our lives better and that can mean different things to different people of course but life is too short not to enjoy it. For me it's about extending my life by being healthy and being comfortable or confident in how I look, having energy to do the kinds of activities I enjoy and yes, even enjoying that snack, desert, drink, etc. when it's time to celebrate with family and friends - or even simply just because I want to enjoy the moment.
On an unrelated note, there seems to have been a lot of talk about donuts so for those of you have time resisting the urge to snack on them ... imagine having a son that works there and regularly brings a dozen home with him. Talk about drawing on will power!
Here's my oldest son (just graduated and heading off to The Ohio State University in the fall) getting ready to head off to work to man the drive thru window.

Good job getting those steps in! I like to get my steps in early in the morning also.3 -
June 4th
My step count was 22,770. I didnt do my jumps and my knees have thanked me. I did stay under calorie goal. I cant wait to be able to get in my pool. I like to do exercises in there as it is easier on me. Like jumping Jack's dont hurt my knees in the water as much as out of it.
I am still figuring out how to respond to questions on here. I need to know how to respond to specific people's post . Like how to tag someone I think. I am not great with technology lol.1 -
Super Saturday Morning Everyone!
No spectacular plans on tap for me today.... Other than grocery shopping and taking my son to get his first Covid Shot, it's pretty much just feed my legs day and take it easy.
I'm going to eat a good bit more than usual just like last Saturday. The way I see it, is the "leg factory", just hired a bunch of new workers to flood the "leg factory floor", and they all trying to make repairs on the Leg assembly line, however they need parts to facilitate repairs and it's my job to get them the parts they so need otherwise the whole factory may need to shut down, until said parts arrive. 😁😀😉
So, serving up parts is what I'm up to today, and while I'm at it, no exercise. I don't want to accidently hurt any of the workers while making said repairs. Happy work force, generally means quality work after all.
Down the factory feed hole this morning...
Keto Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Waffle Breakfast Sandwich with Keto Maple Syrup, 2 Eggs easy over, 2 bacon, 10 Grams butter.... Hot diggity that was more delicious than I expected. Meanwhile the Factory workers roar in a triumphant cheer as the Parts hit the Factory Floor!!!
Have a Super Saturday Everyone! 😄 And be sure to treat your Factories workers right! 👍😎
P.s. it's not as bad as it looks... 650 calories all in only 2% net carbs. Just 150-200 calories more then my usual breakfasts.

To respond to someone you can use the quote button at bottom of the person’s post. To tag someone put the @ in front of their username. eg. @amymartin555
I love using the pool. I find it easier to do jumping jacks as well as squats and lunges. When will your pool be opened? There is a pool in our building but COVID restrictions do not allow it to be opened.3 -
@jimboden3
You and Theresa are so right. My grandkids stayed overnight. We bought a cupcake to have today and we are having brunch. Granddaughter wanted to try a new recipe. I am slightly over on calories for the day but it all evens out through the week. Time with them is precious so I am going to enjoy and not get uptight about the calories.
You must be incredibly profundity of your son. Congratulations to him! 🎉
@lmf1012
Nice loss!
@amymartin555
I was just telling my hubby that I have to start getting up early and doing my walk first thing. It is going to be very hot and humid so I don’t want to be walking in that.
@Poobah1972
Love your description of those leg muscles repairing. That breakfast sandwich looks amazing.

@jimboden3 Oh, My! What a tough temptation you have! Your son is a fine young man!
@Poobah1972 Have a great day and I hope your son's shot goes well with no side effects!
@amymartin555 I had to ask a million questions when I first started. Good thing there are people with a million answers.
@lindamtuck2018 Wow, that had to be a cheery surprise with the scale down after pizza. Great job in not letting your trigger food, "trigger" you!3 -

Thank you linda! I knew about the quote button but not the other. And my pool is my personal above ground pool. We had to totally drain and clean it this year and are in the process of filling it up. We have well water out here so we have let the pump rest every couple of hours. It takes days to fill.2 -
@Beautyofdreams - I am so sorry that you are going through this setback. You are strong and will get through this.
@lindamtuck2018 - you are on fire girl 🔥
@jimbden3- Krispy Kreme donuts are my ultimate favorite 🤤🤤🤤 I could not resist them and it’s not possible for me to eat just one ... they just melt in your mouth 🤤 Maybe the temptations would lessen if they are often available
@Poobah1972 - that looks AMAZING but would be over half of my calories for the day. Us shorties only get 1200 calories 😱

Saturday
PW 161.6
CW 159.8
Loss w/ MFP since 4/17/20 110.2lbs
LTD 163.2lbs
6/4
Tracked Yes
Under Calorie Yes
Water 84oz
Steps 9071
Exercise 33min Treadmill
I honestly thought I wasn't going to show a loss this week. I've been seeing the same number as last week on the scale every day. Just yesterday I was 161.6. Now today somehow I've dropped almost 2 pounds. It's a mystery.
Yesterday was grocery shopping day so I was gone most of the afternoon. Used the treadmill in the evening to finish out my steps. I've seen a couple comments about ice cream lately. Have you guys ever tried the frozen greek yogurt bars by Yasso? They are fantastic, have lots of flavors and are 100 calories each. And not tiny, which I was pleasantly surprised about. In my freezer now is sea salt caramel, fudge brownie, mint chocolate chip, coffee chocolate chip, and chocolate chip cookie dough.5 -
Is the date a typo if it is not I do not have steps for the 4th ..Please confirm ..Thank you0 -
