    Yikes! Took me about 5 tries to log in from my work computer. I was beginning to think they'd blocked the site! Which would be a horrible thing... :o:#:s

    September Week #2
    startingW: 225.4
    HighestW: 226.0
    PW: 205.2
    CW: 204.2

    Weighing in a day early... and I will need to roll this weight over next week as I wont have access to a scale while away. I hope you all have a great week... will be reading from time to time but otherwise taking a mental break while away. Giving myself permission to just be and enjoy and relax.

    Which is super needed after my weekend. Pet owners and parents will relate to my weekend.. 🀯
    I spent most of Sunday (until after midnight)at the Pet ER and was on kitten watch all day yesterday I didnt get anything done (or any sleep researching possible surgeries all night long) today was my doc visits day so running all day. The good news is kitty actually is okay as of 630ish this am... he had swallowed about 8 to 10 inches of rope... which thankfully and a bit painfully he was able to get all the way through his system by himself so no surgery needed. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

    All - going to try to get caught up on MUAC before work gets too crazy today. Maybe even learn how to do one of those fancy posts that @Krysless2 does. Don't hold your breath on that last part. :D

    So I’m just so grateful for you, Sue! Your perseverance and strength are something to be admired. Thank you and @JbeanR0212 (and everyone else who keeps up with the momentum and encouraging words) and thank you for just knowing how important this group is to so many people! πŸ€—πŸ˜˜

    Btw.. I left a template for you in the MUAC spread sheet… regarding the weekly announcement? You just have to copy/paste each line of codes there and enter the weekly winners of courseπŸ˜‰

    I am coming back around though after slowly, albeit forcefully, pushing through recovery of one my back spasms. But I think I’m ready to start contributing and posting Announcements again! ☺️


    Quick question: Are you still logging MUAC in our spread sheet?

    Mine is just a small pedaler you use while sitting. It’s perfect for me because I’m just starting out on increasing my exercise! So far so good!

    Ouch on the back spasms. That has to be horrible!

    @sandkp I feel for you! I had the same thing happen with one of my cats years ago. He swallowed a very long string and the vets were not hopeful but thank goodness it did completely pass through! I’m glad your kitty is ok as well! It is very scary when that happens!

    @Krysless2 yes I am, although I haven't since Friday. Not on computer on weekends and was too busy at work yesterday. Plus I couldn't even get into MFP for a good part of the day. πŸ˜”. I saw the code, and wondered if that was what it was, but was too chicken to try without knowing. πŸ™ƒ

    Welcome back πŸ€—

    ETA: I believe that it is all caught up now. :) Have to shut down as I'm heading into the office an have to go get dressed. No jeans and t-shirt for me today.

    Have you all noticed too, that when you start controlling your portions your body gets used to those smaller portions? I have been working really hard to practice portion control. I went to visit the in laws and they just kept bringing out food. I'm not sure I have ever felt like I did yesterday. I was dizzy.
    I never ever want to feel like that again.

    How do you go about things when you are having meals at friends and family?

    The main dinner is not so much a problem for me but sometimes my mother in law prepares the dessert plates ahead of time with too big of a serving for me.

    My doctor set my goal weight on 160. I take off weight very slowly. When I get to my goal and if I keep on losing, I will reset my goal weight after talking to my doctor.

    Has anyone heard from Jenn? Looking at her profile she hasn't been active since 9/3? Little worried, shes normally posting through the week?

    @mooreshelly09 no, and I pm'ed her the other day also. 😟. She posted something about getting a new phone last weekend and I'm hoping it's something as simple as getting locked out of her account. Unusual for her to not post in any of her challenges or log any food.
