    Since I'm not real sure what my ultimate weight loss goal is, I have been setting little goals. My first goal was to get out of Obese class II. I hit that goal today!!!
    I needed to get to 197. I weighed in at 196.2.
    My next goal is to get to 190.

    @brandi_84 Woot!! Great job! Sometimes little goals are better and give you more motivation as you hit them. If you set your goal at something like 130 lbs with no intermediate milestones you'd probably lose interest pretty quickly. Definitely celebrate the little victories!

    Previous Week's Weight: 226.2
    Today's Weight: 229.4

    Okay, folks. I hit 230 again yesterday after having company and attending a birthday party for my adorable great-niece. I’m down .6 today and I absolutely HAVE to stick to my food plan no matter what day of the month it is or who’s celebrating what. I just have to realize once and for all I am not a moderator and do much better abstaining 100% from foods that make the scale go up. I have not missed my medications once since I went to the doctor, so there’s that 🥺 Thanks for being here!! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

    Monday and Tuesday
    Track: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercise: yes

    Still undoing the damage from the weekend where I ate and drank with wild reckless abandon. 😂. Good times but they come with a price. 😕

    Happy Flag Day 🇺🇲

    @Tomsgal1985 I am plugging away, trying not to give up! Trying to add more exercise in as I navigate my new job. 🤪
    Thank you for asking! 🥰

    I am still alive, but I have fallen down a rabbit hole. I am not stepping on the scale this week; I will face the music on Wednesday. I have a wedding and Father's Day this weekend, but I will be back on Monday to try again.

    Hugs and prayers! You can always decide to make a change without the scale. I’m trying to focus on health. Moving more. Deep breathing & other stress relievers ❤️🙏🏻🌹

    We have a baby shower Saturday & then Father’s Day. I’m not feeling great. Had a bad night & have had a pretty bad headache all day. Not sure if the weather is affecting me. Lots of severe thunderstorms in the area.

    Thanks everyone for checking on me. Mom is as well as she can be. Fell again on Saturday night but no hospital (think she just wanted to try the double all nighter )

    I am working on being refocused on making time for myself - well at least in the form of food/exercise. Getting on here to log or write still seems to be a chore I need to figure out.

    Weekly weigh in was Wednesday - I just didn't get it posted but it was done. So here goes:

    Username: sandkp
    June week 2
    startingw 225.4
    highestw: 226.0
    PW: 216
    CW: 215.8

    Now having that weigh in wed at that I weighed Tuesday at 214.6 and Thursday at 214.8 and today at 214.6 so thinking that for some reason I was carrying some water. But it is the weigh in day so I am going with it and hoping next week, the weigh in day is a lower day of the week and not the up day :)

    I am thankful for all of you that continue to post here and share. I do read and follow - usually as I am supposed to be watching tv (haha guys choices) with the family and usually those shows / movies aren't holding my interest so the phone scroll is good - but the tap tap tap to write catches their attention and they wanna know why I am not watching the great show! (haha ) Hope everyone has a good weekend!

    @sandkp Sorry to hear your mom fell again. Thankful for no ER all-nighter this time! I turned my keyboard noise off. My husband hates repetitive noises, but he hasn’t silenced his own keyboard 😂 It’s so funny how we interpret our own noises differently from others’ 😁

    Good job on the scale and so glad you checked in 🥰

    PS My husband and I have wildly different tastes in movies, but we tolerate each other’s choices 🤓☺️

    Just to be clear, my hubby had never fussed about my keyboard clacking 😆 I just don’t like that sound 😂 And I love him dearly! ❤️

    Good morning everyone! How're y'all doing? This weekend was the first in the last few months that we neither travelled or had visitors so I took a few days to enjoy just being. Thanks to @Tomsgal1985 for keeping up the chatter. 💕.

    I wrote a great big post and accidently turned my phone slightly and lost it all.
    Hi Brandi!! If you use your browser for the community you’ll see a lot less of those little glitches. (for iPhone I use safari) Back when I was super active I would have three different “tabs” for each of my bookmarked groups, and I would always have those pages in the phone background. I only use the app for food logging(when I can get back to doing that again) I noticed even if I put my phone away I would see my drafts just sitting there!! Although I still get nervous and save my draft anyway! 5lffeb8xu9fw.png

    I discovered this little trick when I figured out I have a better time uploading pictures on the full MFP website, rather than the app!

    I just read about 25 pages of posts (between working and life that took about two days of reading!!) I think I’m all caught up now with you and understand that the competition aspect kind of faded off but were keeping TBBT alive! That’s so wonderful!! I sent you a Stridekick friend request. Thanks for sharing that because I
    used to always search for a way to compete against different brands of trackers. Especially now that I primarily use my apple watch now!


    I’m so happy to see you guys are still “March”-ing on in June!!!
    I missed you guys!!

    I finally started tracking my food again today. Why, oh why, do I hate this so much? I should be thankful for such a handy app. I use Lose It. Anyway. I’m doing it.

    How’s your day going?

    Hi everyone!

    @Krysless2 I'm so happy that you posted here! I was so excited to get your friend request in stridekick (and I think it was actually @cmhubbard92 who found that one!) and was hoping you'd come in here. Yes, even though the official challenge tanked we're still here. :) I've thought about you and your daughter often over the last few months and hoped that you were well. We missed you too!! <3

    @Tomsgal1985 I can't believe I fat fingered that quote, 😯 Tunde would not be happy. That's what happens when you type on your phone. It SHOULD say "It's a great DAY..." sheesh 🙃

    @HASWLRS Where are you? Monday has come and gone and I'm huntin' wabbits!!! 🐇

    @brandi_84 but probably more @Krysless2 I never thought of using the browser, and not sure I know how?? 🤷‍♀️ Old lady here. 😁 But will definitely try it, especially the uploading pictures part. I could never upload a picture from my phone and always had to email it to myself and then upload it from my PC. It would be so cool if I could do it from my phone.

    Hey ! Long time no see!

    That makes more sense to use the browser. I do that to upload pictures anyway.
