Good Evening Everyone!
Mom update: Might not make it through the night 😢.
Today studied and worked out. Played some cards, crafted and did chores as well. So tired.1 -
HI All!! I went missing in action, but we knew I would since I was having cataract surgery for the 2nd eye. SUCCESSFUL IT SURE WAS!! I am sitting here typing with NO glasses on (They aren't the right script now, but I'll be an updated one a week from Monday, than to have it made up). This AM I woke up with my right eye ALREADY CLEAR as can be!! WOW!! So I am back, and I'll try to catch up ,, at least some.
@Cseguin2 ,, Oh hon!! I am so very very sorry with your dear Mom!!! Life is so short!! Hopefully she'll be okay. With the death of my Aunt on Sunday, she'd be amazed to find out, it's actually drawing our family stronger/together, something we've not been for 30 years. That's the remaining Aunts/one uncle, Cousins.
WOW!! Amazing that your Mom has been bragging about you, but LOL didn't tell you. Moms,, they can hard on us, while also hugging us so hard!! Hold onto that on those rough days. When my Dad passed, he'd been aware of my weight loss journey, I kept picturing him as if he could still cheer me on. It really helped me a lot. Glad you got in some FUN TIMES!! We need those so badly.
@wallahalla ,, HAHAHAHAHAHA!! OH MY!! LOL The top one and the sneeze one. LOLOLOL
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!!! WOW it's been a great challenge so far!!! SO MUCH FUN!!! Are you settling in?
@Bookienj,,, do you or ANYONE else have MORE SNOW coming tomorrow/Saturday? AARRGGHHH another storm not coming up on here. Just as well for the next week, but after that my restrictions will be gone!! BUT I probably could of removed the snow carefully any ways, since it's LOL no more than 20 lbs, and I do not think I do 20 lbs that often. I DO need to help my team more today so once I am totally caught up,,, I'll go for it!
@Cormierannie,, a few added days of no school,, well a few years ago there'd of been a HUGE WOOHOO SHOUTOUT!! But, nowadays, I doubt it???? Was D upset? Take care,, enjoy the day.2 -

Good morning everyone! Yesterday was a snow day here for my girls so no MFP for me. Younger daughter (13) and I spent many hours playing card games, laughing and her reteaching me the Romeo & Juliet prologue (that I kept calling me prequel so more laughter). She had to learn it for school so I know some of it from helping her. She had a test today so we refreshed ourselves. Still icy and snowy here so no gym for me but I did the ring fit.
@CSEGUIN2 -I am so sorry! Hugs!
@Dianedoessmiles1 -well we got an inch of two on Thursday. Not supposed to get any more snow til Tuesday. Still pretty icy here. I wish I could send the snow there!2 -
@Patti241 ,, HI Patti!!! WOW it's already Friday!! When I first woke up I for SURE thought it should be Thurs, I was surprised when I looked at my watch!!
@Macrat12,, HI Sarah!! Cold here too!! Brrrr
@Bookienj ,,, LOL Kids are so much FUN!! Thirteen is a fun age for some, and sounds like your sweet D is one of those!! I LOVE goofing around with them just to hear that laughter!! Oh no doubt she'll remember it even better because of the goofing around mixed in with the seriousness. Awww you are a good Mom!!
Ohhh I'd so HAPPILY take ALL the snow I could get!! It's so pretty and it'd not so cold as it is,, well LOLOL MAYBE????
At 9 it was
Now at 12:30 PM it's 15 and feels like 4. I need to go to the grocery store, I THINK today is a day to wear my winter coat, though not the heavy one.
@Cseguin2 ,, Hon we are thinking of you.

Last fall I paid for MFP Premium. It is supposed to eliminate advertisements and enable tracking and analysis of nutrients. I think I might have had it for a little while and then the ads appeared again. I have tried to contact customer support at MFP to have Premium activated, but no results.
What is the “Priority Customer Support” feature of MyFitnessPal Premium?
Premium MyFitnessPal members will receive personalized, priority assistance from our dedicated support team. To ensure priority handling, please note: If you have purchased Premium and you are not seeing it on your account. Please contact support.
Hmmm..... Contacting support seems quite useless. There is no confirmation that my email was received, etc. and no action is taken.
This month Rebel and started walking every morning before breakfast. As of today we have every street in our neighborhood, and have done a number of walks in the forest.
I have lost about 5 pounds this month, and am still 10 pounds over my lowest weight in 2021. What working?
Walking every morning
Calorie tracking
Breakfast smoothies
Menu planning
Hubby is doing all of the above too
Focusing on getting a better quality and amount of sleep
We haven't socialized since Dec. 26th. Hopefully Covid subsides and we can get together again. But is it a coincidence that it has been a little easier to lose weight by not getting together with friends for meals?

Good Evening Everyone!
Unfortunately this is my last Mom update as she passed today at 3:30 pm EST 😢. We were able to see her as they knew it wouldn't be long. We had to be masked, gloved, and gowned. But we got to touch her, see her and talk to her. It was really hard to realize that this time she was not coming back. I would have like some private time with her but would not ask my siblings for that as I was trying not to be a problem to my brother. I hope that someday they realize I am not who I was before.
Anyways this morning got up and dressed. Tried to do my studies but just couldn't seem to concentrate and felt very tired. Cuddled with Hubby on the couch then went back to bed. Got up, had breakfast, and some exercise. Still tired so skipped my main workout. After lunch went to work and was there for 30 mins before the call came. Not sure how much the plan will be stuck to for the next several days. But I promise to at least try everyday.1 -

Gradually getting settled into a routine in the home living with Mom. Other than all the work and listening to her moaning and groaning it's almost like living by myself. I try to have conversation with her and she is just so much in to how she feels, what she wants she doesn't pay much attention to anything I say.
My niece came by today and saw the place and I gave her 5 totes of things of mine I was getting rid of. That much less in the shed2 -
@kaliswalker ,,, I've not tried Premium. I don't mind the ads, actually LOLOL I rarely notice them cause I just look at what it is ,, I going for. I don't mind not having the macro's that had never played into my losing weight. I too had gained during the break, WOW Just checked not nearly as bad as my memory had me at!! At the start of the Fall Challenge I was at 177.2 at the end of it I had barely lost at 176.8. The start of this challenge at 180.2 so a gain of 3.4 lbs.
Like you Lynn, I've clamped back down, and this time around I want to at LEAST lose 50% of my 5% which would be to lose at least 4.7 lbs. But I also set a long term goal, of 163 by the end of the year. I had done my WHY do I want to lose, and did it in a blog. My WHY is simple. My heart. Its harder now with breathing than it's ever been, but it could be that much worse and faster. So that's my why. Today I was in the grocery store, I had to get cheese, which is near the ice cream. A phrase you use often hit me as I looked over towards the ice cream "RED LIGHT FOOD!" AND I WALKED AWAY!! Funny how things we say really do help others. TY TY TY!! So keep your WHY and the list you just wrote out, and we'll see you at the end of year ,,with both of us a SIZE OR MORE DOWN!! WOOHOO!! Let's stay focused. BECAUSE We've done this before,,, we will again. That goes for all of us, to stay focused on our WHY. And come here, we'll help each other. LOVE THAT!!
@Cormierannie,,,, CHEEP CHEEP ,,, cold here too. A high of 19. LOL indeed 19, last night low was -3 (F) without the wind chill ,, with the wind chill,, well I had my heat UP!! And Izzy ordered a new puurrrr coat. LOL SILLY KITTY!!
@LindiemaeP,, HATE it when my post POOFS!!! Oh grrrrrr!!! I'll look for your post.
@Cseguin2,,, Hon, I am so very very sad about your Mom. How fast life passes us by. I hope your siblings get to see you for who you are now. Indeed you care so deeply from the heart. May they observe your actions and forget the past. Its so good you all got to go in and say goodbye to your sweet Mom though of course we'd of much rather she'd of improved. Our hearts are with you. Do not worry about your team, know they'll understand. If you hadn't notified any of your leaders or posted on the chat you may wish to do that. It's up to you of course. Take one day at a time. Hugs from us all.
@wallahalla ,, LOL I am a WONDERING WHERE IT IS??? Our grass is back being bare bare , bare. HOPEFULLY we'll get more soon. It really makes such a difference to those who have wells. We worry about them.

@CSEGUIN2 My condolences to you and your family over the loss of your mom.. @Dianedoessmiles1 gave some good advice. Hugs,

@dkhudson56 ,, Sounds GREAT that you are setting in!! WOOHOO to that!! Sometimes when one is older, they're pretty settled into a comfy "who they are" and it's nearly impossible to change things for them. It helps us to see what type of older person we'd like to be, and work on it while we are young enough. COOL that it's almost like living alone (I hope that's in a good way). Are you bowling? Or doing something else you enjoy? Perhaps trying new things in the neighborhood?0

@CSEGUIN2 - I’m so sorry about your mom. It breaks my heart knowing how difficult this is. I’m new to the group, don’t know you at all, but understand this is heartbreaking. Hugs to you.1

Good morning everyone.1

Ha!! I finally figured out how to join the group! This site is so different than SP in many ways. For any of you that remember BITEMENCO from SP, that's me... From what I've read so far, it seems the challenges work the same way here as they did on SP - breakout teams and tracking exercise and living the good life challenge points. Do I need to be put on a team? The team intro says it's never too late to join in, and that's a change from the SP groups....a good change, since it means I don't have to wait until the spring challenge to get started!1

@Dianedoessmiles1 -thx! Enjoying this age. We get attitude/slunk sometimes but I know get it an hour or day and she’ll be back. We have the cold you have-no precipitation planned til Tuesday thank goodness.1
-
@CSEGUIN2 -oh I am so sorry. I am glad you were able to say goodbye even though you couldn’t be alone with her.
@wallahalla -lol! And so true-specially with the slipping. I get so many less steps due to this.2 -
Hi everyone! Later check in for me-spent time playing games with family and then Pokémon go community day with hubby. While walking I got a text from my dad that my 95 yo grandma is in congestive heart failure. I talked to her for a while and said I would call again tomorrow2

@biketheworld ,,, WELCOME to the 5% Challenge!!!

@NBQANYMORE ,, WOOHOO So happy to see you with us!! WTG!!! You do need to be put onto a team, the way to find your invite easily is to: When you click on the Community Tab (up above as it was on Sparks) Than click on the GROUPS, and RIGHT underneath that you'll see your invite to one of the 8 teams.

@NBQANYMORE I have sent you a team invitation.1

@NBQANYMORE I have sent you a team invitation.
Most odd....I checked my messages, and don't see any from you. I'm starting to wonder if this site doesn't like me...LOL0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Thank you everyone for your condolences. Your support means the world to me.
We had some snow today but it was enough for a light dusting. It made me feel like Mom approved of how her children were working together. She loved when it snowed and expecially the big fluffy flakes which we did have.
I am struggling with accepting that I just don't have the energy to do my exercise and studying. I want to workout and study but my body says sit and chill. Due to this struggle I am also struggling with the feeling of letting myself, Mom and the team down. I promise you I know that you all understand and that taking care of me is most important. For me exercise is part of that but I just can't seem to do it. I also have had little sleep in the last 24+ hrs. I just can't seem to turn the brain off. I have also notified one of my team leaders and also put it on my team's chat.2 -

Please look under your COMMUNITY Tab, than under the darker blue ribbon/line click on GROUPS. It should be right there. WOOHOO Hey WELCOME ABOARD!!
@Cseguin2,, Hon please,,, you've been through a horrific loss,,, please please know your mind/body are in shock. As such, it's no wonder it's in a "I need to take care of myself, but I can't even function mode." We've been there. I have tears in my eyes as I write this, because you are hon,,, needing to take care of you, by simply honoring that. Do not rush thru grief. It's an unreal hurt to lose our Moms. It hurts so badly. It can't be rushed through. Oh be guaranteed your team feels the same way. Absolutely with no question and no doubt. As you know snow is beautiful, refreshing, and so clean. It's why so many of us, and your Mom loved it so. As it snows especially the big flakes, it's also a special peacefulness about it. It'll take sometime before you again feel at peace, and that is to be expected.
We do support you. We do care.
@Bookienj ,, SO sorry about your Grandma!! My Nana made it to 96!! At her funeral it was strange, but she'd of LOVED it, no one cried, oh sure we miss her horribly, but she made it to 96 and until 94 she could still walk a mile daily, garden, and do light housework!! That lady was so amazing!! At your Grandmas age congestive heart failure isn't that great. I am in congestive heart failure, but I am much younger and there are so many meds, procedures they do, but of course meds have side effects etc. etc. etc. Does she live locally? Can you see her if they are letting people in that is (SIGH). An Aunt passed away a week ago, though our hearts are broken to bits and pieces, she's not hurting any more. Its cool she got to see your kids!! Lately likely by Pictures, but it's awesome to see the next generationS coming along. That made her smile no doubt.
@wallahalla ,, OH GIRL you trying to get the COPS HERE???? LOLOL Laughing SO HARD at midnight,, hmmmm I'll just show them WHY and they WILL LAUGH TOO!!
STORY TIME As I unwind for bed. I can't remember the year (I DO NOT WISH TOO! LOL) it was the Super Bowl,, anyone who knows me KNOWS I LOVE the Super Bowl. It was the Pats (I live in Maine, New England so of course they ARE OUR TEAM ,, even now (LOL) VS the GIANTS!! RASPBERRY and not the kind you EAT!! I had a HUGE HOUSE FULL!! The only sitting room was on the floor so of course that was for the kids. They didn't mind. My "D" (not by birth) and the 2 Grands ,, her kids were here too. She was CHEERING ON ,, hmmm I DARE TRY TO NOT PASSOUT as I type this, THE GIANTS!! Well they BARELY WON (I believe there was a LOT OF CHEATING (GRIN) going on. Kim was ALL EXCITED!! I lived on the 6th floor. Conversation went as:
D- KIM STOP NOW!!
K- JUMPING AROUND AND WOOHOOing (SHOOT I had neighbors you know??) LOUDLY "WE WON!! WE WON!! WE WON"
The rest of us were NOT impressed
D- KIM STOP NOW Or I'll THROW YOU OUT THE 6TH FLOOR WINDOW!!
K- Stopped for a moment to do as kids will do (even as Adults!) "NO YOU WOULDN'T!!"
D- "I SURE WILL!!"
K- "Its AGAINST the law!" (AS one stops to think ,, "Is it against the law???" LOL FOOLISH KID)
D- "I'll Just explain to them "Oh she was rooting on for the GIANTS!"
Cops- "WHAT???" SHOCK throughout the entire complex! You hear NOTHING AS ALL UNITS (in the 90s) Came to a complete STANDSTILL!! (not easy for some elderly who topple over easily!)
D- "THE GIANTS that's why I THREW HER OUT THE WINDOW!!"
Cops,, walked over to the window looked down "She's dead"
Cops,, "OH well ,, and who called us FOR THAT???? We were having COFFEE at Dunkin Donuts. This is a NON POLICE MATTER!"
Cops leave.
PATS TERRITORY!
LOLOLOL Kim did NOT like that story, but the rest of us did and DO!!
I'm heading into the bedroom EARLY as I UNWIND (now with a very evil grin! LOL) as a part of my bedtime routine. NIGHT ALL!! Please be safe.2 -
Mom fell tonight twice. 1st time she wasn't injured 2nd time I called squad. Hospital transferred her to OSU trauma center via Med Flight. She doesn't have brain bleed but it was serious enough to need it. Going to get some sleep cos I am too exhausted to drive. Wouldn't do anyone any good for me to crash my car and not be able to take care of her. My sister and I will go up tomorrow2

Please look under your COMMUNITY Tab, than under the darker blue ribbon/line click on GROUPS. It should be right there. WOOHOO Hey WELCOME ABOARD!!
Thanks!! When I go to the main Community page, it already has the groups listed by category, and in the quick links section, there's nothing about group invites. It did not occur to me that I would need to click on "Groups" to find the invites section when I was already looking at what appeared to be the main groups page. *sigh* Either I'm losing my marbles (quite possible), or that wasn't set up in the most intuitive way (also quite possible).
Anyhooooo...I found it, accepted the invitation, and am off to see what's what in that team.3
