    Hi Team! It’s been a busy day. I had a staff meeting and then stayed to clean both buildings I was super happy to have my scale down this morning but tonight we have a ladies' Bible study dinner, so hopefully, I can behave and not do any damage to the scale for tomorrow's weigh-in. I listened to a couple of podcasts today about Modified Protein Sparing Fasting and I think I will do that for a couple of days when I come home from vacation to get me back on track. Yesterday, my mom decided that I needed to open up the Ninja Foodie in case there were issues with it. So happy early Christmas to me!! I made hamburgers on the grill feature and they were really good. I need to watch some YouTube videos to help me fully understand all the features. It looks great on my counter!

    :star: 100 DAY CHALLENGE – DAY 22 :star:
    1. Data Driven Fasting: Trigger went down to 84 but I did check it for lunch and not sure what it will be before dinner.
    2. Exercise/Physical Activity: Church cleaning
    3. Stop Eating C.R.A.P Challenge: There will be sugar today when I eat some German chocolate cake at the party tonight. 😊

    @Katmary71 Thanks! It's been off and on for 2 weeks now. :( Your garden sounds marvelous! Good luck getting it done!

    @murdog3t That's what you have to do: keep trying. It will come!

    @TeresaW1020 Enjoy your Foodi, I left a bunch of recipes on the other board!!!

    @leonadixon @davidji82 @TeresaW1020 Congrats on the losses!

    Hi all. Well yesterday morning, I was pulling on my workout pants and got a shoot of a migraine so I decided to just do a stretching/recovery workout instead. I'm glad I did. Today, I did a full-body workout. It felt good and had no migraine.

    100-day challenge commitments:
    1. I will put my utensil down between bites. ✅
    2. Chew slowly and chew enough. ✅
    3. Stop Eating C.R.A.P. Challenge: ✘

    Just a quick check in….it’s been a couple of days since I posted but I have been staying on track and have managed to consistently drink 2L of water per day…still can’t seem to reach the 3L like the Dr wants….also have gotten my Diet Coke down to one can a day vs the 4 or 5 I was doing….I refuse to change my 2 coffee in the morning lol…I have even started doing some exercises. I am a work in progress for sure but I am happy with where I’m at right now….have a great day everyone and will weigh in tomorrow

    @krea4 I’m pretty basic when it comes to my proteins – I use a lot of Butler Soy Curls, tofu, and beans. Not sure if any of those bring you joy…if so, let me know which ones and I’ll share some recipes. I love that you can walk a mountain with your friend. Sounds beautiful! Share a photo!

    @Katmary71 I think you need to hire me to get rid of that ex! (insert karate chop here) :smiley: I’m glad you had a good Birthday, though I’d tell your SIL that you want to go to a hard rock concert and she’ll just have to deal or stay home! (I sound like such a meanie). It’s just that sibling relationships are so important to me and I’ve instilled it in my children that, after I’m gone, they all need to be each other’s shoulder. I digress…sorry! Anyway, we all know how much I love horror, but another horror friend of mine told me about Where the Crawdads Sing and said it was her favorite book ever…so with you recommending it, too, I simply MUST read it! And I think I remember that TV movies series – I remember the cobwebs one, one with ants and one with bees.

    @trooworld I have not heard of “House”, so I’ll have to check it out. I am so sorry about your furbaby. That’s so sad. Hugs.

    @TeresaW1020 What a fun trip to the dentist! I’m sure you were beaming, showing off those pearly whites! My Kohl’s still has a very good supply of products. I was there about a week ago and really surprised by it. Thankful they finally reopened some of the fitting rooms. Your husband needs a long time-out for that terrible idea to stop shopping! I had to Google Juro spider…and I gasped! How atrocious! Reminds me of all the cobwebs in The Mist. Check the Ninja for “issues”…hahahahaha! Nice!

    @lose4me71 Welcome! You are in the right place. This group is fantastic! Nice job on being soda-less for 2 weeks!

    @laurelfit57 I’m so far behind, so it looks like today is your travel day! Have a safe trip and an awesome time at the wedding!

    @TheGlwUp So glad your ear infections are healed. I had a double one about 15 years ago and my ears started bleeding! I knew it was time for an ER visit when that happened. They are so painful.

    @tammymccrady6278 Happy Belated Thanksgiving! I’m a justifier, too. But as long as we remember that uncomfortable feeling the next time, maybe it will help. I’m so sorry about your mom.

    @murdog3t Hang in there! We’re here for you!

    I’ve been getting over this cold and I haven’t been able to check in for about a week. (My boss made me get tested last week Thursday and it was negative, so that’s a blessing.) I’ve been doing pretty good with the 100 Day Challenge on some parts of it. Couple of bad days thrown in there, but they weren’t super bad…just minimally bad. Anyway, we are super excited…Hunter has been wanting a pet for a long time, but the only animals I’m not allergic to are birds and bunnies. My older daughter, Sydney, rescued a bunny from someone she knows that constantly buys animals then doesn’t want them (don’t get us started). We’ll be getting all the necessities, too, so I won’t have to buy much of anything. The woman didn’t teach the rabbit her name (Jean Gray), so I’m changing it. The stars have aligned and it’s kismet…so we will be picking up Kismet Gray this evening. Isn’t she a sweetie?

    I hope everyone has a great weekend!

    @trooworld Thank you for that awesome graphic! <3 I’ve been trying to get to this milestone for a while now and vacation will probably bump me out of it but that is OK. I will get back to it and keep on until I reach goal. Right now, I’m wanting to get to 160 lbs. and then I will see if I want or can go lower.

    @tammymcrady6278 Good for you for cutting down on the Diet Cokes. As for the water, can you start a little earlier? I made it a habit to drink an 8 oz. glass first thing when I get up in the morning and another when I brush my teeth. That is 16 oz. before I ever leave the bathroom! ;)

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Nice loss this week! Yeah, those Juro spiders are nasty looking! I’m praying that when the cold hits they will all die! Their cobwebs are actually a golden color. Very weird! I love your new bunny, Kismet Gray! What fun you will have with her. :)


    Hi Team! I was super happy to meet my weight loss goal this morning. I was actually down more yesterday morning but the dinner with the ladies last night jumped it back up a little bit. There were three cakes and brownies. I had a tiny bit of everything and have been very good today. I went and had my hair done today and got it cut pretty short in the back. I love it! I will change my profile pic after I get back from my trip. After my hair appointment, I went and washed and cleaned out my car so it’s looking all spiffy too. For dinner, I made pork chops in my air fryer. They cooked sooo fast and were so tasty! I may never turn my oven on again. :grin:

    @tammymccrady6278 That's great that you are drinking 2L of water. It would be hard for anyone to drink 3L so give yourself a pat on the back for the 2L and also the reduction of Diet Cokes. I couldn't give up coffee either lol.

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss, well done! Way to get to that new decade! Yeah "House" was really weird but funny and entertaining. Thank you, I miss him so much. It's weird, him not being here. Sorry you have a cold. Grrrr about the person that buys animals and then dumps them! Kismet Gray is beautiful, congrats!

    @TeresaW1020 Yes you will! That's a good goal. You will love the air fryer in the summer.

    @cherrymajoni Congrats on the loss.

    Hi all. I'm very happy about my loss this morning. It's the first loss in a very long time and just the morale booster that I needed. I have a very busy day ahead of me grocery shopping, getting my hair done, dropping off art for a show submission, but I am looking forward to tonight's dinner: pepper-crusted filet mignon with blue cheese chive butter and on the side, air fryer baked potatoes. It's a big splurge but it will be worth it.

    I think I forgot to post my weight last week. This whoosh was quite a surprise as I was disappointed with my snacking this week, but as I reflected I realized I snack a little most days but did not overindulge.

    Hi all. My husband and I had an active day yesterday, it started with going for a 1 1/4 hr walk in the morning and then I did some errands. Today, I think I will do a strength training workout.

    @trooworld I’m super happy for you and your loss this week and congrats on being our #1 in pounds lost this week! I know that you have been struggling and yes this is just the boost you needed. Keep it up, girl!! :grin:

    @bgame4 Wow what a great whoosh you had this week! Not overindulging on most days is a key factor for sure. ;)


    Hi Team! Today has been a good day. I had fun teaching the kids this morning in Sunday school and then paster spoke on Heaven, which is one of my favorite topics! o:) Hubby and I are all set to leave out tomorrow morning for our 10-year anniversary trip. We are super excited! We both need a break from our regular lives to just be with each other and recharge our batteries. I’m sure a week of overindulging in all the yummy foods that Savannah has to offer will jump my weight up but that is OK. I will get back on track when I come home and I’m sure it will all come off. OK, I’m signing off and won’t be back until Friday. You all keep up your good work and keep supporting each other! :)

    1. Data Driven Fasting: I paused the DDF app until I get back from my trip.

    Super quick check in this morning, everyone is still sleeping at the hotel :-). I am pleased with my eating since we have been gone, sticking to proteins, fruits and veg and trying to avoid carbs. My exercise is seriously lacking hi, we have been going from one place to another sitting and visiting. Been having an amazing time! The only day I put on any steps was the wedding day where we danced the night away!
    @trooworld WOWZA!!!!! Huge congratulations on your loss!
    @TeresaW1020 Have an amazing time on your holiday, I know you have it all planned out, so much fun!

    I am actually going to get out first thing this morning and get a good walk in before anybody else is up and moving, I am starting to get very stiff and sore from lack of exercise LOL

    @laurelfit57 Awesome job on keeping the food in check! Enjoy the rest of your vacation!

    I have had the PMS munchies SO FREAKING BAD the past couple days. Ate way too much C.R.A.P. and now I'm paying for it. Trying to get back to a better frame of mind. Why does junk food have to taste so dang good?!?!?!?!
