What’s everyone been up to? Are we still fighting the good fight?

@Krysless2 We are!! For the most part. LOL

As for what I've been up to I purchased a house in VA in January. It's close to my daughter and her family. I decided that the 6 hour drive (each way) was too much to keep doing all the time. Once I finish cleaning and painting I'm going to start splitting my time between here (MD) and there. The ultimate plan is to move there permanently, probably in the summer of 2025. That has been occupying my time for the last 8 months or so (house hunting) and will continue until we move. We spent a week there recently and it was nice. We got to see the boys several times and were able to have our own quiet place to go to when it got overwhelming. They're 5 1/2 and 18 months now and boy I do NOT miss the days of temper tantrums and over-tired meltdowns. LOL

Indeed, Sue!! Hugs all around! 🥰

😭😭 I've lost my Fitbit charger and think I must've left it in VA. 🤬 Now my Fitbit has died 😞 I ordered a new one from Amazon that hopefully will be here today 🤞 I'll have to sit still in the meantime, steps are useless if they aren't counted. 😉

So now my device will probably die and I'll have to buy a new one that probably won't be compatible with the charger. LOL Murphy's Law

There’s nothing better when you're geographically closer to where you want to be. I’m so happy for you! If you’re anything like Mom, she loves the grands more than the loves her own kids! Lol

~ worked out with my fitness group this morning
~ yesterday was a great day in the world of accomplishing goals. All the stars were aligned.. I walked a bunch on my treadmill. I was also paying close attention to the keto macros I was eating all day. Like just because you CAN add a Tablespoon of butter doesn’t mean you have to. You can hit the perfect fat/protein/carbs percentage without a full serving.

@DaffyGirl88 your Fitbit mojo wafted over to St. Louis. My Fitbit broke! But the good news is that a friend of mine gave me hers when her kids bought her an Apple Watch. I just found it and it’s charging.

Are you guys in any other challenges? I’ve been in the “Just Give me 10 days” challenge for a bit now. . Also, I signed up for Fat2Fit more recently. I think Lisa recommended it to us before. It’s like how this challenge used to be, only with way more moderators and mini-challenges. You guys should join! It’s really been helping me.. and request to be on Shape shifters with me☺️

@Krysless2 I tend to hop around, if I do the same thing for too long I get bored. I did GoT for a couple of seasons but dropped back to wildings for the last one. I've been in Hogwarts this term. I usually do the 10 days one before an event like vacation or family get together. I may look into Fat2fit again. I need something. I'm not back where I was when I joined TBBT early COVID but I have been creeping steadily up.😕

@Krysless2 I am in another group but I forgot what it’s called so that tells you a lot there doesn’t it? 😆 I think it may be called The Biggest Loser.

Thursday
Track: yes

Morning Diary(Weigh-in)
Sunday: ~ The birthday party was so sweet and my cousin was the star of the show of course. She gave such great attention to each present and smashed her birthday cupcake as we all predicted she would. <<see below for pictures>> I am always running around participating in the festivities, but I am noticing when there’s quite a few people I don’t know (and no alcohol) I go into a super-extended ADD mode. Maybe upgrade me to AdHd class..It was a nice time though and luckily they grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and I ate like two of each without the bun.

Saturday: No movement on the scale from Friday to Saturday which is a good thing in my opinion. It was wing night at my house so although I didn’t have a ton of food what I did have was full of sodium and definitely I felt it in my gut ->🤰
~ I did have 2 light beers 🫤

Friday: This weekend I have plans for the first time in a little bit. My baby cousin is having her 1st birthday at a beach-park. I’m sure they’ll be food because it’s at 11am. Afterwards we’re going to the mall for a few items with some family. Both places will be filled with temptations so I need to have an eating plan in place. Day 5: No alcohol✅

Hi everyone!

I was in this challenge a long time ago. Is it still running?
If so, I’d like to rejoin our old team!

hi there! The moderator for The Biggest Loser Challenge suffered a few hardships and ultimately discontinued the challenge. This TBBT chat stayed active and we are still here staying in touch and discussing our healthy-life goals/struggles with each other. There is another challenge out there that works the same exact way only they have multiple moderators. Here’s the link for that group if you want it😊https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/114605-fat-2-fit-weight-loss-challenge-and-support-group

Also you are most welcome to stay here of course. There’s just no formal challenge in place.

Thank you, Krystal, I joined and asked to start next month. I asked for the Shape Shifters.

And your baby cousin is adorable 💕🥳

Of course @MamaSunflowers is welcome! If I'm not mistaken, this is our old friend ajdvegan (although my 64 yo brain does make many mistakes lately LOL)

As Krystal sai, there is no longer a formal challenge, just a few of us TBBT people who are still plugging along cheering each other up.
