Happy Friday!
My weigh in was not too happy today, but this week of inactivity is certainly the culprit. I'm off to see the doctor this morning to see if we can find a way to get rid of this lingering whatever it is - I'll be glad to see it go! I want my energy back!
Logging - a good reminder. All this week I have been eating rather carelessly, and yesterday I made the mistake of making some pumpkin ice cream. My son had left a bottle of heavy cream here - he had used some and did not need the rest - so I had to, right? It is soooo good. Luckily my taller half likes it too. I hope he will get a bit greedy... So today, back to logging carefully so that next Friday will be better.
I love the photo of your parents, @PlaneMonkey They truly are adorable. I'm sure this is really tough on both of them, but hopefully the new meds will calm things down. I'm heading back down to see my dad again in early December - I get to take him to the audiologist to see if anything can be done to improve his hearing aids and make it easier for him to actually hear what is going on. That might help him, and it will certainly help all of those around him. Should be interesting.
OK - off I go. I hope they fix the access problem soon 🙄

Oh wow. I finally logged in on my internet on my phone because the app is still not fixed! Lots of catching up to do. It sounds like some of you have had some rough times. I'm so sorry! I hope next week goes better!

@bonnie_red would like to not weigh in this week! She's going through some work/life stuff (and also doesn't want to deal with the app situation 😅). Hopefully that's okay!

Its seems like I have been running around all week - but the only real exercise I've managed is tennis and a run in the forest yesterday. Loved them both. Overall a good and productive week.
@PlaneMonkey your parents look lovely. Hope everyone can enjoy that kind of love
@conleywoods thanks for sharing your progress and sunset photos. Both are awesome!6 -
So I am finally on the Waistaways Team page via my mobile, but it's been such a palava!
I can't access the Community area from my phone. This successful login has only been possible through accessing the MFP Web from my phone.
I sincerely hope that the techies sort it out soon. It works fine on my laptop (and presumably on my desktop too, although I haven't tested it yet.
Anyway, in other news, we had a lovely lunch today with my sister in law and her husband. But now I feel absolutely stuffed. Water for me for the rest of the night I think!
Enjoy the rest of your day, Friends!3 -
Friday peeps! Your weigh-ins are great! So inspired today!
I started my day with exercise and got out at lunch for my usual walk which is good because my work day kicked my butt. So just a quick check-in to say hi and wish everyone a good weekend. Back later to report on my final exercise numbers.2 -

absolutely no problem! The app stuff does not help, but I know that the work/life stuff is more important. Hugs to her!2 -
Friday peeps are awesome indeed! Some gorgeous green with small splashes of red and black just to set things in perspective. I have contributed to the red, but hopefully will be back up to speed soon! The doc was very reassuring this morning - I just have an extremely happy virus, no sign of bacterial infections, but it will take a bit more time to finish sloping off into oblivion. Meanwhile, frequent saline sinus rinses, lots of vitamin C, plenty of rest. I have still been too flattened to do much exercise, but feel like it is getting closer.
Gorgeous losses from @eggfreak @happimess01 @kellie_erin @Micki48
Well done this week!!
My son is here visiting, so I'm heading back to see if he has already eaten up all the treats he brought...5 -
I am really not liking the MFP update. I can get in but it is not easy. I have to go to groups, scroll to F2F main page, scroll down to Waistaways then click that to get in. I want my star ⭐️ back!!1

They're coming, according to their "Outstanding Bugs" thread - I am a bit disturbed that they have chosen such an ambiguous name for the thread, but I guess we can hope that they will take care of the problems fairly soon...
If you're on a computer, just keep a tab open with the Waistaways team chat on it. Never close it! Just refresh every time you come on. Even on my phone browser I can do that, but not on the MFP app.1 -
@micki48 Great job on doing the things and seeing a drop on the scale! You are putting the work in even when you're busy babysitting. It's paying off for sure.
@happimess01 Your progress is really amazing. For me personally, I had a good 10 months of really consistent weight loss in the beginning and then it slowed down. You have had an impressive streak which means you are working very hard as you approach your goal. Proud of you. This is a hard journey and you are killing it!
@eggfreak Woo-hoo! I know logging is annoying and gets old but so is gaining. Good for you for counting those calories and having a great weigh in!
@Pearl4686 Nicely done this week. Glad your woosh showed up even if it was a week later than you wanted!
@Steph1498 Nice work this week! Sounds like some fun exercise this week for you.
@kellie_erin Hooray for you too. Really nice work this week. Glad you made it into the chat.
@jugar Tell your cold it isn't welcome anymore! You poor dear 😢 I hope you turn the corner on this thing soon.5 -
Morning all!
Yesterday's exercise:
15 mins yoga, 20 minutes Peloton, 7025 steps
I am getting REALLY close to hitting the 100 pounds lost mark. Kinda makes me emotional, I know there were many times over the years I knew I had 100+ pounds to lose and it just seemed so impossible.
Some of my exercise steps today will come in the form of cleaning, have a short Peloton ride planned as well, a bit of yoga, and a dog walk. The weather has continued to stay nice which makes the walking much easier so I'll continue to enjoy it while I can.4 -

WOW. I am always impressed by the dedication and plain old grit that it takes to lose this much weight. SO many people give up - you are an inspiration to anyone who keeps looking at how far the goal is, at how impossible it feels. Get the tiara ready! You'll be wearing it soon

@ashleycarole86 It is a huge milestone, you should be so proud of yourself. You are a rockstar. Most never make it there. sad but true. Also, you better be planning to get yourself something to celebrate the milestone?
@conleywoods thank you so much. I have reduced my cardio to zero but have increased lifting to 3, sometimes 4 sessions per week. I have been losing 4 lbs per month on average since July. It is painfully slow but I am getting a lot of NSVs so that keeps me motivated. Just the other day, I raised my hand and saw 4 ribs pop out. Holy moly!
@jugar love your optimism. Hope you make full recovery soon and go back to exercising.
@steph1498 so cool that you play tennis? Is it taxing on your joints and legs, do you feel it afterwards? I play Badminton which is a lot easier on the joints and I still need 1-2 days to recover.
@kellie_erin great loss this week! We almost weigh the same amount right now, nice!
@micki48 great loss this week! Killing it!
@pearl4686 congrats on the woosh! Must have been a great feeling, time to celebrate

Everyone did great this week. While there were a few people in the red, it was a minimal amount. That is awesome. Started treadmill walking this week. Made the perfect playlist and I am enjoying it so far. I am thinking about doing the step challenge next month. Right now I am concentrating on 5000 steps per day.
My boyfriend is out of town for the weekend so it's just me and my puppy. I did get a very large homework assignment done today and am planning on starting next weeks assignment tomorrow. I am hoping to make a casino trip next weekend. I need a little relaxation.
Just curious...does anyone have any songs I can add to my walking playlist? I like all kinds of music but love to walk to upbeat songs....a few that I love are Shake it for me by Luke Bryan, I look good by Calie Boy, anything by Eminem.

Here we are, Saturday evening, and I'm starting to feel like there is some energy coming back! I took a walk in the woods today, and then a sauna - I did not last too long, but it felt great. We have a funny little building that is super insulated, furnished with a wood/entry room, and the sauna itself with the wood stove and benches. My husband built it before building the house we now live in - our daughter was just over a year old when he started building the house, but the sauna was built first, ready for sore and cranky guys who were working hard to build the house. It is next to the pond, so we can splash a bit, or just walk around in the cold air. Feels great. The virus is leaving. I think that regular exercise can come back soon!! It will be great to grab those kettlebells, do some Pilates, and sweat on the exercise bike. I figure it will take at least a week to get back to normal, but it's coming!
Thanks for all the good wishes and wonderful energy, as always. You are all wonderful.
Because of the MFP re-design, I fear there will be a few late weigh-ins. Here is everyone who is due, but do not worry! No penalties this week.

@kdblpn an upbeat song I like while working out is I love you like a love song by Selena Gomez.
I'm usually a country music fan or 90s dance/hip hop but I heard that song during a Crossfit/Bootcamp session once and it was super catchy with positive energy2 -
This blank page situation on the Android app is really getting to me. Have they posted any timeline on when they expect to get it fixed? The only reason I pay for the premium version of MFP is for access to this community group. That's it.
This is getting a tad ridiculous.3
