Lose 21lb by Christmas
We are half way through the challenge with 11 weeks left.
Congratulations to JaysFan82 who has already lost 21lb, well done.
I'm refocusing the group now so some of our newer team mates can join. Anyone wishing to commit to losing 11lb by Christmas please let me know (people already in the challenge can you let me know if you want to continue with the 21lb or go for the 11lb
Thanks Lis
I think I would very much like to go for the 11 lbs. Lee1 -
Hey, @Megan_smartiepants1970 ans @lindamtuck2018 : can I change my posting dates to Mondays? For some reason I can’t get it together Sunday nights to actually make a post. I’m so sorry! I do want to be in this group.

I have been so stressed out lately: my diet and exercise have definitely continued to take a hit.
Having said that - I have had a little bit of good news. I’ve been able to work my way into a part-time job doing what I used to love and have missed terribly. I used to work at a vet clinic with the plan of going to vet school. Long story short: I realized I don’t want to be a vet, I like the hands-on work of the tech. I switched plans and went into teaching - where I’ve been the last 10 years. Over the years I’ve kept in touch with an awesome coworker from my clinic days, and asked her if I could come work at her clinic a couple days a month (she and her vet-husband own their own clinic now!) She said yes! I am SO excited!! I’ve missed that world so much! The scheduling is perfect because it will only be 2 Saturdays a month, and they’re only open 8-2: so it won’t even be my whole Saturday! Plus it’ll be extra money coming in, in the field I’ve missed with an awesome coworker!!
Hopefully this major boost in every aspect will also help with some weight loss. I will be moving around more, and it’ll alleviate some stress which hopefully will impact my diet, etc.
Anyway… again, many apologies for not posting. It is not intentional, and I certainly do not want to be removed!
Have a good week everyone.

Mondays are fine. I will get you moved. Great news about the vet clinic.

I'm thrilled for you that you get to spend valuable time with a field that you love. Not everyone even knows what they want to do, much less get to try out two different fields. As a dog owner, it is wonderful to have someone passionate like your self to be spending your time at the vet's office. Good luck!1 -

I am sorry to say that I am sick my friends. After receiving my flu vaccination on Monday, I can down with a severe case of the flu Thursday evening. I have been sick since then, unable to eat anything and keep it down. Fever, chills, cold sweats, everything flu has to offer. Too weak to sit up let alone walk. So, don’t expect much from me this week. We will see how things go next.
I do hope you are feeling better!! I have only had the flu once in my life, years ago. I literally thought I was dying. Nope, no fun at all.1 -

Fifth vaccine?
I just got my fourth about an hour ago and I got the flu vaccine at the same time.
The first three times, I had no problems with side effects whatsoever, so hopefully this time will be the same.
In Denmark only people over 50 can get the fourth vaccine, unless you're considered high risk. People with a BMI over 35 are considered high risk, which is why I was able to get it 👍2 -
We have a returning member re-joining us .... Please welcome back @THUNDER5453 ...Linda I am waiting for him to give me his SW.. the day he plans to weigh in etc .... I will catch up later I need to go get my meds2
