@lindamtuck2018 Great job getting those last steps/exercise done last night! I do most of my classes - including stretching classes - on the Peloton app - I love it!
Also
THANK YOU for the Bingo game - it looks really fun!!
Now I remember! My daughter desperately wants a Peloton bike. I think this week I am going to try and find some 3 to 5 minute exercises on YouTube. Your welcome! The team had a lot of fun with it a few months back.2 -

Hi Downsizers Team,
I have been gone for a few months as my husband has been very ill with multiple surgeries and hospital stays. He is now stable (although still dealing with some significant issues). There’s been a lot of stress eating lately… but I’d like to get back on track!
Current weight: 159.6 lbs
@Megan_smartiepants1970 I would like to do the step challenge. Let’s go with 7,500 a day to start for my goal.
I’m thinking about what my overall goals will be for this year. More on that soon.
It’s good to be back — looking forward to reading all your posts!6 -
Good evening everybody! I hope the weekend treated you well. Tomorrow is when I’m making myself get back on track with steps, and watching what I eat, etc. I’m not going to stop being me: eating bread and chocolate and drinking wine, but i will make sure that I’m back to doing activities to try and offset those calories (while also reducing that intake).
I also wanted to share some personal news - not weight-related. I hope that’s ok - if not, just delete this post. I became a travel agent (as a side job - still a teacher) in November - I’m learning A TON.
My best friend and I are planning to take a trip to Hawaii this summer (if all goes according to plan). So, I just completed part 1 of 3 to become a Hawaii Destination Specialist! i got a certificate and everything! I’m very excited! By the end of the program I will know all there is to know about Hawaii and all the different islands.
This is not a venture I ever planned to take, but I loooooove to travel, so this seemed like a pretty logical next step. Anyway…I was excited, and wanted to share. I hope everyone has a wonderful week.7 -
@peng123
You are welcome!! 😊
@lindamtuck2018
The Bingo game couldn't have come at a better time. How fun!! Thank you.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
I love seeing Garfield in your "friendly reminders." I know I have mentioned it before but, I used to collect them. I'm in the process of decluttering and donating... When I get to my Garfield collection, I'm going to post a photo, lol. Hey, my sister used to collect Smurfs!! 😉😁
@shortyjmorgan1
During the last Bing game, you shared a recipe, I think for soup. Would you mind sharing the name of the recipe book you got it from?
@red1185
How exciting for you!! Hawaii is amazing. We have family there and have been, seriously, countless times. I don't know if you are playing the Bingo game, but I'm sure your new adventure on becoming a travel agent must check one of the boxes!!
@Jpedno
I'm sorry that you and your husband are going through so much. I truly hope he has a speedy recovery. Sending positive thoughts for a full and speedy recovery. 🧡 Lee2 -

Hi all, just like that and we're back for our second weigh in of the year!
Whatever caused this woosh who knows, just needs to keep going down this way!
Granted we all know weight loss isn't easy and there is a multitude of reason why the scales go up and down, but isn't it interesting how we can get caught up on heading into bigger 10's in one week, but then things like this can happen and can be in the previous 10's the next? It's quite a rollercoaster.
Whatever happens as long as we keep going, we can achieve success in whatever form that looks like for us, including the NSV's.
Have a great week everyone!7 -

Sorry. I tried to do this yesterday but samsung was having problems. Thankfully it was back up this morning.4 -
@red1185
We have to do what makes weight loss work for us. Having all those things in moderation is perfectly fine. Congratulations on becoming a travel agent. As I sit here listening to the wind and seeing all the snow a trip to Hawaii sounds really good. Enjoy your new adventure.
@Bluetail6
I printed my card off this morning.
@rwood566
Those short walks add up. You are lucky living so close to Disney.
@jayenguk
Great job on the calorie counting! One step at a time.
@mszoueb
Fantastic loss!

✅close rings
✅steps 5,424
✅log food daily
I was going to walk the loop around the buildings but it is freezing out. It’s -11C with the windchill bringing it to -21C. I will stick to doing my mini walks in the apartment and have a pj day.
Have a great Monday!

@mszoueb Amazing loss! Congratulations!
@lindamtuck2018 That is just too cold! Mini walks are a great idea!
@rwood566 I'm so jealous that you live within driving distance of Disney. You are doing so well with your steps! Keep it up!

You are shaking things up. That is an awesome walk. Did you walk outdoors or use a treadmill?2
