I'm putting down my cat this morning he's been with us for 14 yrs 10mos he had problems walking the past few weeks in addition to his eye infection now he can hardly walk & his pupil is enlarged - signs of stroke I don't know when it happened but full blood panel was done yesterday & everything is normal he was stuck 5x with needle to try to get the blood drawn and not a peep. He is such a good kitty - I don't know what I'll do without him our hearts are💔💔💔 my older son and his wife came to say goodbye last night - my younger son is already in GA
I love you Felix😥😥😥

@LaurieWrobo I'm so sorry for the loss of your fur baby. It's so hard to let them go, even when we know it's time. You gave Felix a beautiful life. Remember, heaven is filled with everything that makes us happy. I believe that includes our fur babies, so he will be waiting across the Rainbow Bridge for you one day. I said goodbye to my sweet Lacy Sue a year ago and I still look for her in her favorite spots around the house. When the time is right and you can no longer stand the absence of "the purr", open your heart and adopt another baby who needs you and you can honor Felix in that way. **HUGS**0 -

@Be_theBest_Me Remember that every time you step on that scale, you take your power back. Follow the plan you've set up for yourself, trust the science and dare that scale to talk back! I know...it can be a beast, BUT SO CAN WE!!! I recorded your weigh in...please report in using the standard format, so that I won't miss it. I was watching for your post because I knew you'd had a rough week or so, so thankfully I didn't miss it. YOU GOT THIS!

@Pupowl Are you keeping the same step goal for April? Remember, it doesn't carry over. You have to renew your step challenge each month. So, where are you looking forward to walking this month??

Oh @lauriewrobo I'm so sorry to hear that. I lost my kitty, Bubba, just a few weeks ago. After a very full life of almost eighteen years, I'm so grateful I could hold him as he passed. Sending love and hugs!!4

Hi everyone. I'm Jennifer from Denver. I started this weight loss journey in May of last year with lots of fear and a lack of confidence that I could make it happen. The encouragement from my sister, who lost fifty pounds and is at goal weight, and everyone here on MFP has been priceless. As of today, I'm 73.9 pounds down and 30.2 pounds away from goal weight.
Weight loss has slowed since the first of the year. I'm guessing part of it is that I'm not exercising quite as much over the winter and haven't been as focused on the details. I do weigh a lot of my food, but haven't been the best at logging everything lately.
Still, giving myself a bit of grace, I continue to lose every month, even when it's only a couple of pounds. I've stuck with it, taken a few short maintenance breaks when I've gotten a little frustrated, and kept logging in every day (308 days). I'm hoping to get to goal weight this year. I need to average a little less than a pound a week to make it happen before the end of the year.
If I can do it, so can you. Thanks everyone for helping me stay encouraged!!5 -

@jessicakrall8 please could I be excused from this week's weigh in.Ive had a very stressful few days.My husband & I set off to the airport on Monday for a weeks holiday in Madeira.There have been alot of reports on social media that our local airport was in chaos.Due to severe staff shortages the queues for bag drop & security have been extremely long.People have missed flights.
Anyway we arrived about 3hrs 45 before our departure.We were nearly at the end of the line for security when I got a text saying our flight was cancelled ! 😫
As we had booked a holiday we couldn't change it & had to go back home feeling so disappointed.
So the next day we booked another holiday & we arrived in Cyprus this afternoon.Shame we have lost 2 days but its nice to be near the sea & its warm & sunny.
I will still log my steps but there aren't any scales in our hotel room.Could you please keep me at 12,000 steps for April.4 -
My silly cat (Hazel Joy) rarely meows, but when she does, she REALLY has something to say. She regularly stands up beside my bed a few times each night and wakes me up, just to be loved on. Because I'm on vacation this week, I looked forward at least a few days, to sleeping a little later (8 or 9ish) and this morning was one of those days. What does Hazel do, but climb up on the bed right next to me and when that didn't get me up, she decides to meow, as if she were carrying on a dissertation 7-8 times in succession. Finally, I'm like, "OK Hazel, I'll get up--GEEZO!!!" SMH...If she weren't so cute, I'd bop her on the head! Forgot to add that within ten minutes of me getting up and starting to walk, SHE is on the bed, spread out and napping...she didn't want me up, she wanted the bed! UGH!
SOooo, I got up early again today and walked twice, for a total of a little over 2.5 miles.
Jess
