Thanks to those who requested me I figured out the issue! In the last update my page went into dark mode and it over shadows the friend icon 😂 it’s still right where it always went as just have to look really hard to see it!!! When I went in to accept I could barely see the check mark yo accept so that’s what made me realize I need to go back and look for the add friend symbols! 🤦🏻♀️ So I’ll be adding y’all, just deny the request if you don’t have any new friends!!! 🙋🏻♀️1

Well sweet! I can't believe I made it to the leaderboard! Yay!
I had a big NSV on Sunday. We celebrated my youngest brother's 25th birthday at my parents house with an early dinner and dessert. I ALWAYS overeat when we have meals at my parents. Like 49 times out of 50. I really didn't want that to happen. So I ate light for breakfast (corn on the cob and leftover raw veggies and hummus bc I am a weirdo) and when I saw what food was planned at my parents, I quickly pre-logged and estimated as best as I could, controlled my portions, and only took one serving of delicious fudgy chocolate cake and ice cream. It's an estimate, but I stayed under my calorie goal for the day! Eating lots of veggies today too, but we took some cake home and I am so having more cake for dinner tonight. Looking forward to it.
I am pretty doubtful that I'll be happy with my weigh-in weight tomorrow morning, but at least I have been able to get back on track as of yesterday. And my weekly average is still slightly under maintenance, even though I was over my calories 4 days in a row.
I'm reading everyone's updates but just don't have time to organize my thoughts and respond specifically, but like someone else posted before, I am rooting for all of you! Cheering you on from my computer chair at work, or my phone at home!
Congrats on the new grandbaby and new walker and weight losses and non-scale victories and silly pug necklace! Great step counts! Sorry for the aches 'n pains 'n temporary weight gains 'n bad stuff!
You can do it!

@Happysquidmuffin @TeresaW1020 @bgame4 way to go gang!
@laurelfit57 Congratulations on reaching and staying in your goal range! Enjoy your company!
@trooworld Daisy looks like a perfect lady, love it!
@shaunarlr83 I said this in the friend request message but I'm on my laptop and clicked on your name then on your profile and there's the option to add for those that are interested, I have trouble adding people too so I'm glad I figured it out!
@Divya365 You got this with the step goal this week!
@happysquidmuffin Congratulations on staying under your calories at your parent's house, that isn't easy! It's always a little amazing compared to how things used to be when you manage to do it, I used to go hog wild when I was at people's houses so I know it's a hard mindset to break.
Hi team, happy Monday! Did my workout and some shopping then stuff around the house. Not much else going on, finished The Golden Couple earlier, was entertaining but a little far-fetched in trying to surprise the reader. Did vegetarian Monday today but didn't do anything too exciting, just a scramble for dinner and a tostada and protein drink and Greek pasta salad for lunch and snack. I'll have to plan better next time but had just defrosted 2lbs of turkey so I didn't want to make anything that would take a few days to finish up. Have a great Tuesday!1 -
@happysquidmuffin - that was a wonderful cheering for you and cheering you up message. Brightened my day.1

@laurelfit57 I hope you enjoyed the spin class. Thank you about Daisy!
@Divya365 I'm glad you are okay now. LOL thank you. They haven't posted the position yet and it will likely take months to find out who will eventually take the position, our company moves really slowly. Thanks about Daisy! Good luck with increasing your steps, that's a good plan to walk after dropping your son off.
@shaunarlr83 I'm glad you figured it out. I still can't figure out how to friend you, maybe we are already friends?
@cybernurse251 Congrats on the loss!
@happysquidmuffin I would totally eat that breakfast lol. Congrats on the NSV! What great actions that led to great results.
@Katmary71 Thank you! That Greek pasta salad....yummmmm!
Hi all. There's still a heatwave here in Southern California, probably like most of the US. It's really hard to do anything in this heat. I'm lucky that my DH cooked a bit yesterday. Have a great day!

@shaunarlr83 How awesome that you get to join your husband on his hauls and good for you for getting your strength back with those heavy chains. You’re a bada**!
Ohhh and I added you as a friend. 
@trooworld Ohhh Daisy is so cute with her pearls!
@Cornanda Hoping you have a wonderful week and that the stress is minimal.
Good morning Team! The dog dragged in a dead leaf from the yard. You know what that means right? Fall is coming!! I even bought some Pumpkin Spice-flavored coffee at the store to celebrate. Tonight is my TOPS meeting and I’m crossing my fingers for a good loss this week since last week’s loss was barely a loss at all. That barre program I started last week on Beachbody keeps freezing up and I can’t figure out what is up. So, this morning I’m returning to an oldy but goody and doing 80 Day Obsession. The program is amazing but the workouts are almost an hour long, which means I’m going to have to figure out how to make it fit into my life. Fingers crossed!!

@Katmary71 – Yes, I’d ace Meatless Mondays hahaha! Was your scramble tofu or egg? I had leftover potato salad for lunch and my Angel Hair Fettucine for dinner. I saw your post on my timeline about The Black Phone just today. I need to figure out how to get notifications. Sorry about that! Yes, I saw it at the theater on opening day. Loved it! Not what I was expecting. I'd call it more crime thriller with a spot of supernatural. I'd love a prequel showing The Grabber's life leading up to those events.
@leonadixon – So glad to hear you’re feeling better and healing! You’ll be sprinting around in no time!
@shaunarlr83 – That’s hilarious how close your siblings live to your mom. Hope her surgery goes well and that you maintain your sanity. Sounds like a whirlwind few days last week! And my arms are aching just thinking about those chains! I’d love to hear more about your trucking adventures!
@trooworld – Pearls! Hahahahahahahaha Daisy is ridiculously adorable!
After work on Thursday, Hunter and I picked up groceries and instead of picking up pizza (the place raised the price on us and it was $34 for one pizza...not including the tip), we picked up vegan Italian sausages and fries from another local joint. That only set me back $24. Prices of plant based options around here are getting out of hand. Just another reason to get back to cooking my own meals. Rant over. So we settled in for the night with Anaconda and Anacondas (fun schlock). The next morning we played mini-golf (I won by 2 strokes) and then made the potato quesadillas. They were delicious once we figured out the right spices to add and the timing with the air fryer. She went home later that afternoon and I spent the evening rubber-stamping…so those of you that requested cards should be getting one soon (mailed them yesterday).
Had a potluck at church and it’s so fun having another vegan family that started attending recently. Hunter made potato salad, I made chickpea avocado salad, and the other family brought taters, gravy and plant based “meat” balls, macaroni salad and peanut butter cookies. Yum! I kept it under control, tho, and had just a spoonful of each thing. Pretty proud of myself, actually. So not typical of me, but hopefully that will become my "norm".
This evening is my stamping club that I run (down to just 3 ladies, but it’s still fun). So another busy day…I’ll go to that right after work and won’t get home until around 9-ish. I’m always hoping to check in here more often, but the days are going by so fast!
Time for a cup of tea!

Not too bad, I’ll take it! Went for an early run and walk this morning. It is so nice to watch the world wake up! Saw some swallows swooping (say that 5 times fast) over the canal. Emptied the last of the dishes from the sink. Got huckleberries and peaches into my freeze dryer. The huckleberries aren’t mine, but I get to keep a bunch as my fee for for freeze drying them. Mmm.2 -
Little Johnny went to Sunday school
The teacher taught about his Grid took a rib out of Adam to make a wife first him. For the next couple of weeks Little Johnny is moping around. Finally his mom asks him what's wrong little Johnny? Little Johnny grabs his side and says I think my wife hurts.4 -

@trooworld I think all of CA is in a heatwave from the sound of it, it's 105 here today. I'd say I'm ready for fall if it wasn't for winter coming after it!
@TeresaW1020 Yay I love pumpkin spice! Funny you mentioned fall right after I was thinking about it, I just picked up more Willy Wonka creamer but I'll have to get some pumpkin spice after that or at least get a drink at Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks. Good luck with the weigh-in!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I just had an egg scramble, I do love tofu ones though. Great, I'm waiting until the man I'm seeing comes next weekend to watch The Black Phone, I kind of wish I hadn't told him about it so I could watch it tonight! Yum your food at the potluck sounds amazing. Glad you had fun with Hunter!
@happysquidmuffin Sounds like you had a wonderful morning walk, huckleberries sound awesome, I don't think I've ever had one but I love berries.
@FushiaKat Love stuffed peppers!
Hi team, hope you're all having a great one! I worked out then went to the farm for a couple hours, the rest of the day was pretty mellow. I finally had my appointment to get a new sleeping pill but was in the bathtub when I got notification it was ready so I'll just get it in the morning. Have a funny picture to share, I think Asher's blood pressure is high right now!

Hi All,
It's a quiet Wednesday, I'm still sitting up my new computer, just the files left to transfer I think I got all the software I use all the time. I'm trying to build a Sandcastle contest room that has to be done by next week while I wait for the files to transfer to the USB drive. Life is pretty quiet for the most part. Hotter than you know what here. My electric bill will be $600 and that's keeping the temp set to 75 degrees. Nothing much else to report, I'm tracking and doing what I've learned how to do over the last year on MFP. Saturday was my 1-year anniversary. Less than 8 pounds to go, but even if I didn't lose those 8 pounds I would still be happy.3 -

@FushiaKat Happy one year anniversary Kat! That's amazing how well you've done in a year, almost done!
@Jactop Great stepping!
Slow night around here, hope everyone is doing well! Did my workout, picked up my sleeping pill and ran by my brother's, then have been doing things around the house and catching up with friends. Tomorrow's some work then cleaning and have a board meeting so I'll be home most of the day. I'm reading The Fifty Names of Rain, want to wrap it up tonight as it's been really good. Have a great Thursday!1 -
This week has been much better at work. I suspect some bumps ahead yet, but have enjoyed this week much more. Now to start nipping the bad habits. Several small leaks can sink the boat.... started with an extra snack here or there- just a little popcorn. And then it was another thing and another. I'm not all the way off the wagon yet, but going in that direction. And I did not like my weight today. Time to get back on track.

@TeresaW1020 Thank you! Yay for fall on the way! That's too bad about the barre program freezing up but I'm glad you have a backup plan.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss!!! Woot woot! Thank you! Wow, $34 is ridiculous for pizza. Yeah cooking at home is always cheaper (but not as fun lol). That's good there is another vegan family at church. I hope you had fun at your stamping club.
@happysquidmuffin We have a dehydrator feature on our Ninja Foodi and usually only make jerky for the dog. But I may have to try peaches in it, I love peaches! Do you use fresh or frozen?
@19shmoo69 LOL! Good morning, Darren! I hope you are enjoying your coffee.
@FushiaKat Woo hoo! Nice loss! Wow, $600 is a lot but you can't be miserable. I know we use our portable AC because I'm not going to be miserable lol. Happy 1-year anniversary! You are doing great.
@Katmary71 Oh gosh that is hot. Yeah I'm definitely ready for fall but not winter. LOL about Asher and the squirrel! That's a hilarious picture.
@Jactop Great step count. I bet you get that extra weight off in no time.
@Cornanda I'm so glad it's better at work.
Hi all. I am trying to listen to my body more and eat less when I don't need to clean my plate. It's hard after so many years of being in the clean plate club. I'm working from home today so that's good. Have a great Thursday!

Hi All,
Just checking in. I got all the files transferred to one of my new hard drives by taking the hard drive out of my old computer and putting it in the new one. It took all night to transfer the files over. I have recycled my old computer today and all the old hard drives. Now to get that sand castle room finished. It's quiet here and hot but not as hot as lately, only 90 degrees at 1:30 pm. Had a nice chat with my shrink today, mostly about the stress of learning Window's 11 and Office 2021 while trying to set up the new computer, and my husband wanted me using my new computer ASAP!1 -
@Cornanda So glad this week is going better at work, that's wonderful! I know you'll be on back track soon, you got this!
@trooworld I'm in the eat your plate club too, it's really hard between that and being told as a kid you weren't to waste food by not eating it (starving kids in Africa). Both of my parents grew up poor so I'm sure it had something to do with it but if you're eating cookies you eat the whole sleeve, bag of chips the whole bag, etc. I had bad sweet cravings too, I fully know why when I was on pain meds I ended up obese and diabetic, I think I was so active when I was young it didn't catch up with me until I was on all the drugs laying around in pain eating bags of chocolate. Glad you're learning how to listen to your body!
@shaunarlr83 Smart to take the scale with you!
@FushiaKat I was unsure when you mentioned it yesterday but what is the sand castle room? Are you decorating it with sand castles? Sounds pretty cool!
Hi everyone! Did my workout this morning then have been cleaning and did some work. Started a new book and had a board meeting tonight. The head of the charity I'm with posted some crazy video on Facebook last night of her and her boyfriend fighting but didn't bring it up tonight and it involved the charity and personal stuff between those two, she pulled it down and claimed it was an accident but I can't see how you accidentally post you and your man fighting on Facebook. Anyhow, I was stressed about it and overate tonight but tomorrow's a new day. The man I'm seeing is coming tomorrow so I'll be MIA over the weekend, hope you all have a great one! We're going out for his birthday tomorrow night. This weekend is also the three year gotcha anniverary of my cats, I got them some goodies that were delivered to my neighbor's but luckily recognized her spider plant, she did get a laugh when I texted asking if it was outside or if she'd opened Temptations and cat mice that were mine!4 -

@Divya365 Congrats on the loss!
@FushiaKat Good luck with the sand castle room. I hope it turns out well.
@Katmary71 Yeah, that's how my childhood was, clean that plate! You sound busy as ever. That's weird that she posted that video, I think that sort of thing shouldn't be posted, that is private stuff. Maybe she felt that way after she posted it. I don't see how that was an accident, either. I hope you enjoy your weekend with the new guy. Happy gotcha day to your kitty!

I’ve been away 5 days with my daughters visiting family that currently do not have a kitchen. My gallbladder hasn’t been happy with all the restaurant food, but everything else was nice.
Lately (as in past 10 years) when we go away in vacation or so, around the third day, I have a sudden realization of how stressed I was and how much I’m enjoying a break from work drama. This is not new, I’m not young, and still get surprised by that jolt.
I wish the work-life balance movement push started 20y ago 😁.
Completely unrelated- I use MFP on my iPhone and never had any issues, but after the new upgrades I can’t post any pictures. Did anyone figure out a way around this?3
