@Sandkp thank you so much for this beautiful share. A difficult journey but you persevered. Huge congratulations on all the victories here. You are an inspiration. Hoping you enjoy much of that well deserved vacation. 🤗
@JbeanR0212 Thanks so much! It was a much-needed journal entry. Thanks for the well wishes - so looking forward to vacation. My flying high this week took me into a deep dive off the dizzy train for the end of the week. Seriously just got a super dizzy whatever that overcame me Thursday and just getting back into being upright and the world not spinning. Good news - I still have a couple weeks to shake it all before I fly high on vacation!2 -
@daffygirl88 I do miss the dancing to celebrate everyone! I stopped doing it because I started to notice some effects on the MFP community as a whole I didn’t like.
1) Deserving people overlooked and unrecognized
2) Rewards given when unhealthy behaviors resulted in the celebration
3) Focus got so broad I had a hard time keeping up.
I tried to keep doing it in silence because it kept me encouraged but it just wasn’t the same without anyone else to recommend songs or join me. I haven’t found a good replacement but I might consider starting it back up with an exclusive limitation to TBBT.
Music is the language of the soul and I enjoy nearly every genre. You came straight outta left field and threw me for a loop with that one! I love how the lyrics have your spirit in a state of calm celebration (although I have no clue what they are actually saying) while the beat has your heart rate pounding. Suggest away my friend!1 -
@sandkp stress/anxiety induced vertigo? I know you just had labs but an iron deficiency or low/high blood pressure? Inner ear imbalance? There could be so many different factors at play but I know first hand how awful that feeling is. I hope you get it sorted out and feel better soon.0

Once again I’d like to congratulate our team for holding steady in third place! Even if there are only three teams! 😆 And remember: there wouldn’t even be a third place had it not been for us! 🥉2

@therealbluenote I love your spirit! 😂 You keep trying to pull us up to second 🥈 but the rest of us keep weighing you down. 😉1 -
Saturday 27 August
Track: no
Under: no
Exercise: yes
I was doing ok until I got into the vodka. 🥴 And with that I'll be moving on over to the September thread. I will "try" to get caught up on the MUAC posts today, but no promises. Most of y'all know I've been pretty stressed at work lately, with no end in sight for the foreseeable future. Today I need to get caught up on housework and TRY to finish a quilt I'm making for my niece who had a baby afew weeks ago. Somewhat stressed at the moment with work and personal obligations and trying not to find solace in food or 🍷.
Hope y'all have a great day! 🌞2 -

Comments: I have managed to take off almost 3 pounds of my vacation indulgences this week! Back to tracking and it actually feels good. I also had a goal of eating no added sugar yesterday and I made it. 👏🏻🎉
@susanshaughnessy80 congrats on losing the vacation weight!! I never thought you'd keep it forever.

“We will be using your August Week 4 Weights as your July starting weights.”
@therealbluenote you post here for today's MUAC and then starting tomorrow you post in the September thread. Kinda confusing since it's still August but our weeks run Sunday to Saturday .
Whatever your last weigh in was in August will be your starting weight for September. Regardless of what day it was on.
Hope you are doing well. Have been thinking about you. 💕
@therealbluenote my reading comprehension skills are lacking lately. Case in point - I showed up at the wrong restaurant for book club the other night!
Ashley is a little overwhelemd ATM and she meant to say September (not July). Also, the September thread is already up:

I’m sorry @therealbluenote we had a chance for 2nd place on my big gain week. Lesson learned, instead of insisting on accountability I should’ve just rolled it forward. I had @daffygirl88 do that behind the scenes afterward so this last week wouldn’t give me credit some enormous loss (wasn’t really fat). It looks like we actually came in 2nd for every week except the last but I don’t know what’s up with that. I will say we came in 2nd for the month!!! 🥳. We are 21.1 lbs lighter!!!! Go team!3 -

@DaffyGirl88, @Krysless2 This was entered incorrectly into the spreadsheet.
So fix it? 🤷♀️ Haven't been in the spreadsheet today.
@DaffyGirl88, I would have but after having been away from TBBT for so long, I no longer have spreadsheet access. And rightfully so.1 -
