@shaunarlr83 I forgot to post the pic of Blackbear Bosin's famous statue in Wichita, Kansas, "Keeper of the Plains." I think everyone should see how awesome it is and Google his other work too.

@TeresaW1020 You are welcome! I know it is intimidating, there is a lot to think about...take your time! And yes, thank you @Cornanda for suggesting the challenge! Yes to dancing to Prince!!! WOO HOO!!!
Oh such good news about Joe! I hope they can figure out the anemic problem and that it is something easily solved. Poor Maggie Mae. Great goals for the challenge! And great first day. You've got this.
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm glad you had a good time at the conference. I bet you did a lot of walking. Cute picture! I hope the new plan helps you get to where you want to go.
@leti126 Congrats on the loss! Great step counts there. I'm sorry about the IBS flair-up, that must have been the pits. I hope you enjoy your last weekend of freedom, do you have plans for the weekend? Great goals!
@davors19 Well done, great loss!
@shaunarlr83 Thank you! That sucks about Beachbody pulling the funds early.
I hope you find a coach that motivates you. I'm glad the challenge will help get you into your groove! That's great it worked out to wait. And I'm glad your mom's surgery was postponed, that worked out well! I think sometimes we should all sit and wait, that when we rush things/force things, it doesn't work out. Enjoy your hiking, I'm hiking tomorrow too!
@19shmoo69 YES!!!! Great NSV! I have problems with clipping my toenails myself. I can imagine you must have been delighted to do it without your lips turning purple!
@Katmary71 His "women" are just as fun to dance to as well! That's a good idea to do 2 things a day. Sorry about the fire alarms, that must have driven you nuts. Have a great Saturday!
@GabiV125 Congrats on the loss!
@TeresaW1020 @shaunalr83 That is a really cool statue! Thanks for sharing about your uncle and thanks for sharing the picture, Teresa.
Hello all. I am not at all happy with my gain but not surprised: I got groceries yesterday morning and some chips and dip jumped into my basket. At home, they didn't last long. My husband and I didn't end up going to get a beer, we came home and had a Prime Video Watch party with my best friend. Are you familiar with those? It's where you watch the same movie with someone(s) that aren't in the same place as you and you can chat through a chatbox on the screen of your tv. It's fun. We started a couple of movies but neither were any good so we gave up and went to bed.
CHALLENGE CHECK-IN: I drank enough water but I did not meditate yesterday.
My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"1 -
@shaunarlr83 I have a Beachbody subscription and an awesome coach! Her name is Nix Beach and she is awesome! She runs the best Beachbody Facebook group that I always find super motivating and supportive. If you are interested let me know and I will hook you up with her contact info.
And wow ohhhh wow what an incredible story about the hotel room and your mom’s surgery getting postponed! God is very good to us when we just stop and let Him do his thing! 
@19shmoo69 A very good NSV for sure!
@Katmary71 Ugghhh chirping smoke detectors are the worse! I changed all our five last month and no noise until 11 pm when the one in the hall outside my bedroom started chirping and woke the dog. Seems I had the battery in backward and it had to wait until we were all asleep to let us know.
@trooworld I know you aren’t happy with the gain but you know what to do to turn it around. Let the Fall Challenge motivate you and do your best to go 100% all in on your goals. That is what I’ve got to do to turn myself around. Bummer about not being able to find a good movie. 
Hi Team! So yesterday I did a booty workout and today I did 80 Day Obsession's AAA which also focuses on the booty. Let me just say that I have now popped two Ibuprofen and hit my sister up for a muscle relaxer.
I am redoing my will next week since so many things in my life have changed since I did it in 2014. It hurt to have to tell Joe that because of his increasing dementia and not knowing what our future holds, he can’t be my health care proxy. He understood of course but hates what is happening. 
OK, I’m going to get a cup of coffee and work on a jigsaw puzzle since I have zero energy for anything else. I think the muscle relaxant is kicking in! 
My Goals:- Minimum 17 hour clean fast 17 hr. 45 min.
- At least 20 min. of physical activity every day 60 min. 80 Day Obsession, AAA program.
- NO gains on the scale! No Gain!
- EXTRA: Post my daily results check

It's been a scattered week and on top of it, my scale battery died. I hope it's just the battery and I don't need a new scale
So no new weight this week I'm afraid. Hopefully things will settle and I'll be back into my routine her shortly.4 -
I got too far behind and just caught up so I will jump in where I am.
@trooworld - I think it might have been @Katmary71 who had the challenge idea. I'm in! Will post my stuff later. Not sure why I have to think about things so long lol.
@TeresaW1020 - I'm still praying for Joe and I hope the biopsy comes out OK. Doing wills sucks- makes you think about all the things you don't want to think about. But it has to be done, so good for you.
@19shmoo69 - I think you need to be careful about what you are posting on here. The toenail one made me laugh out loud and I almost spit out my coffee. That would be a tragedy.
@vegan4lyfe2012 - I had iced green tea yesterday, so I played for both teams! #teamcoffee #teamtea
LOVE the Keeper of the plains statue! HATE smoke detector batteries!
Had a decent week at work. Starting a new project- It will be nice to have something different to do. I got partially back on track this week- more exercise and more healthy snacks. I need to put up a really good week this week because next week is my husband's birthday, so some treats are planned. And then 2 days after that we leave on a vacation to visit our family in WI- there will be a lot of eating out and you may remember how my MIL stocks up on sweets when we are there. I think that's what's holding me back on getting all the way back on track is that I know I will soon be off track again, but that doesn't make sense.
Back with challenge goals later.

OK, I wanted to see if that pic would load.... that is the crochet project that I started in 2009 and finished about 2 weeks ago. I had all the squares done, but I put it aside and never got around to sewing it together. My daughter picked out all of the yarn colors- hopefully she still likes them now since it took me so long to finish this for her. I know she will be very surprised to get it.2

@trooworld I love your watch party, Bill and I pick a movie and watch it together, that's why I wasn't on last night, I was watching The Wolf on Wall Street, it was 3 hours long and I didn't know until the last hour but it's a good movie. We take turns picking.
@Cornanda Love your quilt, must feel great to finish it!
Hi gang, doing a quick drop in, going to take off for my brother's for a family get together soon. Still working out and mostly eating well except last night I fell off the wagon into a peanut butter jar. I'm still thinking of goals, I'll probably do meditation and a booty band workout or strength training, still deciding. Have a great Sunday!2 -
Hi Team! Just a quick check-in to post my goals. I will catch up with you all tomorrow.
My Goals: Sunday, 6/28- Minimum 17 hour clean fast 20 hours
- At least 20 min. of physical activity every day 30-minute walk in the mall with my hubby and then a trip to the grocery store.

Challenge check in
My workouts are planned for the week and I drew spaces on my calendar to record my success with eating and exercise for the day. Visual stuff seems to help me.
Have a good week!

Good morning team!
I’m so excited and grateful to be joining You for the September challenge.
I have been using mfp for quite a few years now. I’m actually a former F2F member and for a couple years I was very active and found it the best way to keep accountable and find the encouragement to keep working. I hit my lowest adult weight in a healthy way after having 2 babies and felt my absolute best.
Then in 2018 I hit a series of speed bumps: hormone challenges that took almost 2 years to settle down. An ankle injury I’m still dealing with, wrist surgery that sidelined my upper body work then of course covid and the lockdown 15… which turned into 30.
I know this process works. I know it’s safe and healthy and sustainable. I’m ready to prioritize my well-being and make the changes I need to feel good again.
I can’t wait to meet all of you! I wish you all the best as you continue this journey and thank each of you for allowing me to become a part of it.5 -

@digger61 @Jactop @leti126 Congrats on making it onto the leaderboard! WTG!
@TeresaW1020 Thank you! Yeah, my friend has very different taste in movies than me so we often have a hard time finding a movie that suits us both lol. Wow, your booty must be in pain by now! That was a tough decision to change your will, but glad Joe understood.
@happysquidmuffin Great step counts and great goals for the challenge!
@digger61 Congrats on the loss!
@Cornanda Oh, well thanks @Katmary71! Sorry about that! What kind of healthy snacks are you snacking on lately? I need some new ideas. What is your plan for dealing with your MIL's treats? Your crochet project is beautiful! I love the colors. Those are great goals.
@19shmoo69 Congrats on the loss, Darren, WTG!
@laurelfit57 Great weigh-in!
@Katmary71 Oh my, that's a long movie! I'm glad you ended up liking it. Yeah, watch parties are fun. I hope you had fun at your brother's.
@megnolia82 Welcome to the team! It sounds like you might have a plan. I wish you good luck on your journey and I'm glad you are here!
Hi all. I had fun hiking with my friend. It was not too hot (we went at 7am) and it was a beautiful walk/hike. We saw a lot of birds and bunnies and had a nice talk. I am sad to be back to work today. Here is a pic from my hike.
FALL CHALLENGE CHECK-IN: I meditated but did not drink enough water.

@shaunarlr83 – What a fiasco with that load! But God is good! It’s amazing how He works when we get out of his way! Glad you’ll still be able to be there for your mom’s surgery. I love the photo you shared on your timeline – gorgeous view! I’m so jelly! Oh – and that Uber driver story is too scary and hilarious!
@19shmoo69 – You are killin’ me! I am ROTFLMAO!
@Katmary71 – Oh my! Chaka Khan is stuck in my head now! Thanks for the fun ear worm! I’m so glad my card made you giddy and that I rank right up there with your seeds What’s your Meatless Monday menu today?
@Cornanda – Glad I can mark you down for #teamtea hahaha And I love your afghan! I received your note in the mail – thank you! You put a smile on my face I am all about the fall – my favorite time of the year! Sweater weather, cool hikes, warm bonfires, scary movies…and #teamcider all the way! And no idea on the grandma name yet…
@megnolia82 – Welcome (back)! I totally understand the ankle issue. I tore my peroneal tendon about 20 years ago and it was misdiagnosed until 2019. Have had 2 surgeries and now dealing with a new bout of PT because of scar tissue pressing on my nerve. Hang in there!
@Trooworld – That is some serious terrain for your hike! Beautiful! Thank you oodles and bunches for the bookmark and stickers! It was so unexpected and you certainly did brighten my day!
I gained a smidge this past week, but I know it’s because of all the food I indulged in while in Detroit and Windsor. No regerts On track with getting exercise and tracking my food. This week is busy at work with getting caught up on things from last week while I was out, but hopefully it’ll quiet down soon. I stopped at the grocery store yesterday to pick up my weekly produce. Just over $12…man, it sure is a lot cheaper when all the kids are gone! I think my dinner today will be the delicious chickpea tacos again. I just can’t get enough of those…hope my avocado is ready! Stay hydrated, my friends!

@Cornanda I totally get your mentality on getting back on track because of your vacation and your hubby’s b-day. My only advice is to fight the urge to throw in the towel completely. Treat each meal as its own thing so that you can choose to eat on plan when you are able to. Or when you want to!
What a beautiful blanket! I am sure your daughter will love it.
@trooworld that is a beautiful pic from your hike. Glad you had fun with your friend.
Hi Team! It’s been a good day of hitting my goals and keeping my mind on tomorrow’s weigh-in at TOPS. My sister and I finished our puzzle and we are missing three pieces. We are fairly convinced that the dog got the because my sister is constantly dropping them on the floor.
My Goals: Monday, 8/29- Minimum 17 hour clean fast 17 hrs. 45 min.
- At least 20 min. of physical activity every day 60 minute leg program
- NO gains on the scale! I had a loss

@digger61 @Jactop @leti126 way to go team, you did amazing!
@megnolia82 Welcome to Slimpossibles, glad you're back in Fat2Fit! It's my favorite group on MFP by far!
@Cornanda Rewards you can see on the calendar are awesome, that motivates me too.
@trooworld Southern CA seems to have a lot of beautiful places to hike, glad you and your friend had fun. I'm not sure if you were asking me or Lisa about snacks, mine are boring like cheese or fruit but I DID make zucchini bread today and had that after dinner, not that high calorie though sknnytaste has it as 16 servings and I made it 10. I love green beans in the air fryer as a snack.
@vegan4lyfe2012 Today's Meatless Monday was Greek yogurt and fruit salad for breakfast (had half a scoop of protein powder in my coffee and a nutrition drink first thing in the morning), scramble for lunch, then buffalo chickpea salad and a slice of zucchini bread for dinner.
@Ftofit Welcome to the gang!
@TeresaW1020 Oh no, are you going to search the dog's poop for puzzle pieces? I only tried to do a puzzle once since I adopted my cats and it was when my ex-boyfriend and his two cats were here too, you CANNOT leave a puzzle and pieces on the table with 4 cats in the house. Ironically it was a dog puzzle too and there were pieces all over the place!
Hi team! I pulled my shoulder yesterday I'm guessing from holding a stretch for too long so when I woke up I decided to stay in bed and read while I had my coffee and finished my book. I did a modified workout (they're already modified since it's chair cardio but no reaching my arm out to the side) then went to the grocery store. The rest of the day's been mellow, made zucchini bread and have some work to do which I'll probably get out of the way after this. Have a great Tuesday everyone!
Goals:
Ab workout each day
Meditation for 10 minutes2 -
Huge NSV for me - instead of raiding the refrigerator for snacks I shouldn't eat, I am satisfied with an evening cup of nutty almond cream herbal tea 😊

Previous Weight - 196.2
Current Weight - 197
I’m a bit discouraged to see another gain but not completely surprised. I did so well the first part of this week and then was only focusing on my exercises, not logging food and overeating unhealthy crap. Also didn’t get to use the restroom before weighing and had to weigh fully clothed. Weigh ins just aren’t the same from a truck lol.
Updating my steps… for too many days I slacked horribly. Made up for it yesterday and today lol, can we just go off of average steps instead of daily?! 😂
