I told my partner about the zumba session I did this morning and he wanted to give it a go so we did one together in the afternoon, much booty shaking and arm flailing from both of us, thankfully we managed to avoid hitting each other 🤣
So my steps are kicking it today. Back to the office tomorrow though so they will drop again.3 -

This week went surprisingly well. Idk if it’s because I think getting back into drinking a ton of water and making sure I got my steps in (most days) did the trick. I participated in this week’s challenge of setting a numbers goal, and I chose 64 oz of water a day, which is 2 of my water bottles. I think that really helped. I think it kept me full (I didn’t even eat dinner one night because I wasn’t hungry), and it flushed everything out of my system lol.
I’m planning on jumping on the treadmill today for the first half of the GA game - I did that last week, and it was great! I spent 2 hours walking and watching the game. It was a successful and easy way to get my exercise done.Steps this week:
11/6: 9,273
11/7: 4,698
11/8: 9,103
11/9: 4,590
11/10: 5,795
11/11: 6,320
11/12: 7,306
Fantastic loss! Water is good for you in so many ways. Keep on reaching your water and step goal.good evening everyone. another saturday night and i still ain't got nobody. lol old song.
check in for 11/13:
steps -14982. walk then shopping/returning stuff.
calories- 1679 or so. i forgot it again but it's close.
exercise - 5.67 mile walk before the heat arrived. then off to shop and return stuff that didn't work out.

Roger, your steps are amazing. Nice walking. It is amazing how many steps you can get when shopping. My step count is always higher on grocery shopping day.Pippin20206 wrote: »Daily check-in

Went over calories. Went to buy stamps and a pack of peanut M&M’s called my name. Overall my Saturday eating was way better than it has been in awhile. The scale was good to me today. I am back in onderland and hope to hang on to this by Friday. Pool again today. Need to do a long stretching session after my laps as my back still isn’t happy and my usual pain control methods aren’t helping.
Happy Sunday!

Thanks Linda ... Got up at 5am to give Aspen her 1st dose of her horse pills with the urinary wet food and she took it like a champ.. I made little meatballs with the wet food (which I never give my dogs ) and stuck the pills into them ... we will be walking tomorrow ... I can't wait4 -

Happy News!
@jessicakrall8 has agreed to step up to the role of Moderator! She has been a fantastic captain for Team Trimstones for a long time, and we are very glad to have her join us. Jessica will be taking on the Group Challenges, as well as the ongoing work to keep the teams running smoothly, our members getting the most out of Fat 2 Fit, and the Captains and Motivators getting all the support they need. She will still be at the helm of the Trimstones, and I am sure they will agree that she is worth sharing with the entire Group. Welcome!

Congrats everybody!1 -
Congrats @888Angie888 , @red1185, @Aqualang26 on your weight loss and steps.
So sorry for your loss @rlaskey2. The loss of a pet is like losing a close friend.
Have had episodes of binge eating and impulse spending over the last 3 weeks. Not physically hungry yet can't say that it is boredom, sor mindless eating. Am very restless lately and a bit anxious but not certain why. Am feeling like I am starting a new chapter in my life and not certain what will happen.4 -
good evening everyone. congrats to everyone on the weekly leaderboard.

I actually discovered half way through the day that my step counter had run out of charge so I lost a few steps. Partner and I did another 15 mins of zumba together tonight, or as I like to call it, synchronised arm flailing 🤣 we are going to try to do it 3 times a week.3 -
@tahm42
Awesome steps for the week!
@MariEverAfter
Fantastic loss! I will update your weight on the spreadsheet.
@shortyjmorgan1
It must be frustrating not being able to get in. If you go to your mobile browser and put mfp.com you should be able to log in that way.
@Beautyofdreams
Binge eating can be a result of stress or anxiety. When I am going through a period of anxiety or stress I struggle with my binge eating. Do you have anything you do or use for coping skills during these times? I use deep breathing a lot when have anxiety.
@rwood566
Is diamond dots the same as 5d diamond painting? I love doing the diamond painting. I had trouble finding frames for mine so I was silly and threw the out when moving. A friend told me where she gets frames so I may start again.
@Bluetail6
Awesome intensity minutes!

This is my first official kick in the Teeth. A birthday party, and some bad decisions, has literally ballooned me over night. On top of the never ending pain issues I'm at a pretty low point in my journey at the moment.
I"m going to have to pull up my socks and just try and focus on one day at a time this week.

Two days in a row over calories. Didn’t affect the scales but I am not going to kid myself that I can continue being over calories and not see changes in my weight. The good news about yesterday is I earned my perfect week badges for movement, exercise and stand minutes. I am so proud of myself.
My watch is not picking up my heart rate the entire time I am exercising. There are big gaps in the pool exercise heart rate graph and I can’t get one from swimming because there is not enough data points. I am trying to find a solution to this. I did have the same issue with my Fitbit on occasion. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Happy Sunday!

That is too funny! Synchronized arm flailing! 😂 Great job with the exercise. You guys will have to change the saying to a couple who exercises together stays together.Poobah1972 wrote: »This is my first official kick in the Teeth.

Try to take it one minute at a time. I know it is harder for you as you work but try when the pain gets really bad to rest or find a position that gives you some relief. Do you have the option of working from home? Have you asked the doctor for an mri? I had to wait a few months for mine and the wait to see the specialist. Remember, this weight loss journey is definitely not a straight line. There will be bad decisions, days and sometimes weeks. I think chronic pain makes all aspects of life difficult including weight loss. The one thing I have learned after dealing with pain that slowly got worse over the last 2 years is I have to adjust my life to manage th3 pain. That meant everything from changing the way I exercise to accepting that I can’t do as much as I used to. Jonathan, I really feel for you. Dealing with pain is a journey in itself that we have to learn to navigate. Hang in there.2
