good afternoon everyone! my daughter says hello to all. she just went back to in-person learning at her school today. the snowstorm that happened on monday closed the school for two days. a lot of places closed early or were closed, like the library. the library here was closed for two days due to the amount of snow that came. today is the first day that i have been out for a walk. for sunday, monday and tuesday, my workouts were indoors. i went for a walk this morning and i feel great! i will be doing some dancing later on after supper. both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! have a great day! take care and stay safe.1

Good Evening Everyone!
Mom update: She is now in ICU on a ventilator. She declined so quick this morning they almost didn't get it done in time. They did lose her for a brief time during the process. Also it was not liver that was failing it was kidneys. This is typical for her when in hospital.
Today has been a hard day. But just did what needed to be done in the house to help keep me busy. Most of my workouts were done before the news. But got my rebounder out and jogged to help try and clear my mind this evening.2 -

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 everyone2

Back is feeling a little better so going to the gym for E2mX 18 min (9 sets) the 50 reps for time using a PVC pipe instead of barbell just to be safe and so I don't reinjure my back.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

@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
