@tfelts147 - I love that!!! Update us on your progress please! If you walked a 5k in less than an hour you’ll be running one easy!!! I used to be the slowest walker 😂 now I can pick the pace when I need to but it’s never really great bc I stop for so many pictures!!!
@AmbersWay - can you create a challenge? I’ve never done that. I noticed a week or so ago that I was somehow completely logged out of Stridekick but I’m pretty sure I’m logged back in now.
@19shmoo69 - I really thought I was looking at a spam topped casserole before I read your description 😂 it made me so hungry and then @vegan4lyfe2012 starts talking about vegan spam 🤣 I am however very intrigued by the cheddar topped apple pie, I’m going to have to try that out!
@vegan4lyfe2012 - love those family pics!!! You look like you’re really happy!!! ♥️♥️♥️
@Katmary71 - not at all really but it’s okay! My next thing to celebrate isn't until July so I’ll have time to forget that nothing ever goes my way, hope for too much, and be disappointed all over again! 😂😂😂😂
Short week at work and it’s almost over. Was supposed to pick my sons car up from the mechanic by today but a). I don’t have the money right now and b). They aren’t done with it anyway. I’m not stressing at all. I never stress until I have to stress, my mom however is losing her mind 🫣 her spare truck I was driving broke down Wednesday. She’s figuring things out though. I’ve realized fixing my daughters SUV won’t be as big of a deal as I first thought so that’s what I’m going to do for myself. It was completely in my name anyways. It will take a month or two to gather and swap parts but it will get there and I’ll have an ideal camping vehicle to run away and explore more places!!! I think I’m going to work on planning a solo overnight hike somewhere that I’ve wanted to do for awhile.
Not sure if my Kansas plans will work out for June or not but I like to keep hope alive until it’s positively hopeless. 😂😂😂
I’m looking into picking up a second job until I can get ahead of things a bit more. Don’t want to spend all my time working though.
I’m excited to get back to lifting! My daughter is working a week on night shift so our schedules will be much more aligned for us to fit it in. She is at her biggest point ever and fed up and I am slowly approaching my year date from my highest weight ever. Really wanted some drastic before and afters to share but even though I’m not where I want to be I feel really good about where I am. I owe it all to this wonderful group!!!2 -

Whoa doggy this is a raging sinus infection! Fever, chills, aches…all the fun stuff! Probably moving down in my chest now. This is one of the worst I have ever had. It’s kicking my butt! I am staying in bed, quarantined in my room and miserable.
Not hungry, still no taste or smell, but eating what I can. BF made me chicken soup last night and sausage and eggs this morning. Drinking as much as I can and taking my meds.4 -

CONGRATULATIONS!3 -
@shaunarlr83 Haha that’s too funny, that’s what I do with flare-ups too, forget how bad it was and push it again a couple months later. Sounds like your next boyfriend should be an auto mechanic with all the car issues going on with your family! Honestly your before and afters just of your smile are incredible then there’s the obvious physical difference, you’ve worked hard for where you are now so don’t forget it!
@tammymccrady6278 What an awesome loss, congratulations! You lost an average 2 year old child! OK that sounds bad, how about a 30 pack of beer?! Or a car tire or 5 bags of sugar! According to an arthritis website 10lbs = 30-40lbs less pressure per knee, that’s 75lbs less pressure on your knees minimum, how cool!
@DJill68 Oh no, that doesn’t sound good at all! Points to the boyfriend for cooking for you, I hope the meds start kicking in soon! I know it always seems to take a few days, if we felt good quarantining it would be like a vacation but the rest time is usually when we feel lousy. Good idea on the test @micaroo4 as I’m hearing a lot of people recently are sick with it and don’t test positive until near the end.
@gemwolf110 Great job with the exercise! If you’re still doing some of it the rest will fall into place, you got this.
Hi team! Been real tired all day, I’m trying to get the right balance of my new medication and sleeping pill. I take what equals 6 Benadryl to knock me out at night so that with a med that makes me tired is too much. I’ll only admit this to you all but I’m kind of grumpy. I went to the farm and am doing no leaning forward and only doing stuff right next to me gently then left early, I’d invited the neighbor who is volunteering at the farm over to take home extra plants and she stopped by and was real excited and asked me to come check out her garden, she has two beautiful cats as well. She just came by a few minutes ago and brought me the pots after she planted everything and roses from her yard in a vase and they smell amazing. I keep feeling like I'm back where I was when I was bedridden and isolated but I'm not really and I'm very grateful for my friends in this group and MFP and the new friends I've made around here as I don't think I could've handled this without all of you. I got the cats in for nail trims, they carried on loudly and another man came in after me (Petco where the rescue group shows cats) and his cat starting wailing in unison with mine, kind of embarrassing. I’m going on an adventure tomorrow about 35 miles away for a support group meeting. Can’t really complain about trouble driving when we all have severe pain right? We’re meeting at an ice cream shop so that should cheer us all up until the sugar kicks in and makes our pain worse. Hope you all have a great Sunday!
No Zero Days
- Healthy food under calories aside of one thing
- Did gentle weights and stretching plus some weed pulling.

@shaunarlr83 I think my stridekick signed me out, so I’ll get back in and figure that out. Sorry about all the car troubles. I’m always praying that mine continues to hold out. Since it’s paid off, I worry it’s going to croak on me. I’m with Katmary, you need a mechanic “friend” 😂
@DJill68 I hope you feel better soon. Make sure to drink plenty! I made that a priority and I think it helped. Broth/Soup was helpful. So glad your bf is taking care of you. That’s really nice.
@Katmary71 I can imagine the symphony of kitties. I think you have the right to be grumpy, it’s frustrating to have the ups and downs with health. I hope you pass through this in better spirits 🥰 Have a good trip to the group meeting. Ice cream shop sounds fun.
@laurelfit57 I hope the smoke has cleared and the air quality has improved.

Today is supposed to be a busy day for me. I have plans to go see Fast X with my eldest tonight. I have the maintenance company coming tomorrow to do electrical work, plumbing, air conditioning cleaning and hanging large mirrors. Which means I have to have everything moved out of the way and tidied up. Which after 3 weeks of being down, the house needs some work. Lots of coffee on my schedule today.
Have a great weekend everyone!1 -

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and comments. Very rough night but this morning I am feeling a tiny bit better. Was actually able to blow my nose and get some of that pressure released. It was nasty! Sorry if TMI. My head feels like it will explode. I’ve lost 4.8 lbs this week. Hope it doesn’t come back once I feel better! I may do another Covid test today just so I know if I can come out of my room. I need to move around, and get some laundry going. I can just imagine what the rest of the house looks like! I can’t think about that now. No way am I up to cleaning. I don’t even know if I’m up to getting dressed yet. Ok, enough whining. I’m claiming that today will be my turn around day!3

@txcritter69 Great job with the walks with Diesel! I have a Samsung watch and love it. I hope you like it.
@DJill68 Congrats on the loss! I'm sorry you are still sick and sorry that you are getting attacked for feeding FIL healthy food. That's a shame.
@AmbersWay Thank you! I'm sorry you haven't been feeling your best. I love jewelry and would have loved that exhibition! Awww, the doggies!
@shaunarlr83 That's too bad about Mother's Day and the stress. I hope things get better.
@Katmary71 I'm getting more caught up, thanks. That's good news about your micro current machine. Sorry about Bill. I hope you can get the meds worked out so you aren't sleepy. It doesn't sound to me like you are back to where you were bedridden but it does sound like you are struggling a lot. I hope things get better for you. I think about you often. Good luck with the meeting. Hugs.
@tammymccrady6278 Congrats on the loss!
Hi all. I had such a busy day yesterday but it was awesome. Lots of steps in. I went for groceries, went to an art museum, the movies to see "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret?" (the book was a favorite when I was 12. I loved the movie, too!). Today, I am going to the zoo this morning with a friend that is moving.

@DJill68 hope you co to use to feel better. Whether you decide to test or not, it sure does sound like Covid. Smart of you to quarantine regardless.
@AmbersWay how was Fast X? I kind of want to go. I mean what’s not to love about fast cars and John Cena, Vin Diesel, Jason Statham AND Jason Mamoa?!
I have been MIA again this week. I have tracked every day but not kept up to date on posts. Did ok with eating during the week and actually had a few days under calorie goal (this is rare). But also had some WAY over. So win for me that I didn’t gain I guess. I feel like I am starting to lose a bit of motivation. The scale isn’t moving like I wish it would, despite my efforts. If anyone has any good tips, please fire them my way. This next week will be a bit difficult; 4 birthdays in the family. Wish me luck and lots of will power.3 -

Ugh my first time going up I think. I’m not shocked. Exercise is down, types of foods not the best. Trying to get back to my usual though.3 -
@trooworld you were a busy gal. I need to see that movie. I remember reading the book as a kid.
@sleepygirl79 the movie wasn’t highly rated online and I get why (the ending was unexpected and you must wait to see the bits after credits). But if you’re like us that always go to see them like a family tradition, we enjoyed it. I think it was a lot of build up for the next one, which I wonder will it be the last. Yep can’t beat the cast. Adding Jason M was fun. He played his part in a way that I wasn’t expecting. My husband is all about fast cars, so it’s always been fun to watch the movies and relive the good old days and be thankful his racing ended well. Also, thankful my son didn’t take after his dad, his truck is supercharged and has all the fun stuff added but he’s my mellow kid. 😂 These girls are getting bicycles and I still worry.
Hitting a rut myself. I’m trying to give myself some talks. Literally, telling myself to move, to get out of the kitchen and drink more water. I need to find some new low cal meals to prep.
@DJill68 I hope you’re feeling better today.

We had a nice mother daughter night out. Sephora, the fancy cinema with recliners and butler service, and a purse of Swedish fish and Reeses that I brought home for the little. Now I need to take my youngest to see Guardians of the Galaxy. She’s been having rough days at school and needs a break.
Did I mention that I am so ready for summer break? Beyond ready!! I love having the kids home with me.

@sleepygirl79 Holy jumping hormones Batman, I didn't realize all the gorgeous stars in that movie, it's been so long since I've seen one!
@trooworld What did you think of Are You There God? I loved her books too, Forever just came out as well which I think was the older book I snuck into my pile and was terrified my mom would know it was about a woman's first love. Is Are You There the one where she has scoliosis and gets a back brace? I was so scared I'd need one too after reading that, I did but not for scoliosis. I remember the spin the bottle scene if that's it.
Hi team, don't have my glasses on so I can't congratulate the top winners as I can't see them, I'm just popping in to wish you all a wonderful Monday! My support group meeting was an hour away, I'm nervous on freeways these days so I'm proud I did it even though I'm it's hard getting there and i was nervous. The worker who said at most it's a block away parking was wrong so I'm glad I took my walker. It's a Northern CA support group and we're all scattered, not many people come to them and the 3 that did have been dealing with it for about as long as I have. Most members stay in bed, it helps me to see others who haven't given up. Their ice cream was some of the best I've ever had, it's a good thing it's far
away! I'm exhausted and drinking my tea then bed, sorry for not catching up more!

Hey y'all!
I've been having so much trouble getting back on track. About a week ago I posted on my newsfeed that I was getting back on track. It lasted 2 or 3 days and that was it. I am 20 lbs heavier than I was this time last year. Our weather all of a sudden decided it was summer and I can not wear all the cute clothes I wore last year. I feel disappointed, depressed and down right mad at myself.
I don't know if anyone is still doing Stridekick, but if anyone would like to send me an invite for a challenge, I'll be happy to join. Those that aren't and/or can't do Stridekick and have some challenges in mind, I will be happy to try. My favorite things to do are walking and dancing. Lol, I'm very diverse when it comes to music. One day I could be listening to country that my grandma used to listen too or gospel that my other grandma used to listen too. The next day I could be listening to pop or metal. It really depends on my mood.
I can even try food challenges, it would be the first time though.
I'm going to keeping checking back here and being more active. My laptop is getting ready to die on me and I'm tired so goodnight y'all 🙂3 -
Happy Monday!
So last week Went okay although I gain 2.4lbs I had a lot of NSVs that I am very proud of. Continue making my 5 workouts in 5 days yay went as far as creating a different workout Playlist for everyday on YouTube with Tuesdays and Thursdays being my strength training days was going to push it to three days but so glad I didn't as started feeling the results on Friday afternoon so I'm good 🤣🤣🤣🤣 also made meal prep meals that I stuck with. On Friday had McDonald's again as that's what my nephew wanted for his date night with me but made wise choices for myself this time and didn't overeat (thanks to last week WW technique making a plan to eat high points foods) so proud of me. Also ate prepared meals all weekend so didn't fall into the trap of ordering in although was soo closed yesterday cause had severe back pain.
Looking forward to this week my S.T.A.R. GOAL is to complete 6 workouts in 6 days and to eat prepared meals 6x this week.
Have a blessed and productive week rooting for you all. #wecandothistogether2 -
🎉Congrats to everyone on the leaderboard this week 🎉
@Katmary71 I’m glad you made it to the group and great ice cream to top it off. I’m so happy you haven’t given up, continue to share your story and support us all. You’re amazing 🤩
@DrewsAnna I sent you an invite for a stridekick. Shauna and I are starting one today. I like all kinds of music too and am with you when comes to getting back on track. So you’re not alone. I’m taking it day by day at this point.
@gjaholy33 good for you! You’re doing great. Surviving McD’s is a success. Hot fries would be my downfall.
——-
Stridekick Challenge starting today. If anyone wants to join, 7 spots open. Let me know and I’ll send you an invite. It’s just a step challenge this week. Leaderboard
Thanks Shauna for posting! I really do better with challenges.
Thanks to the gals who got the stretching started too.1 -
I'm back home. I'm back in the gym. I'm back to eating properly. I found a new workout. It's based in the strong lift 5x5. It's titled Ice Cream. While I can no longer eat ice cream at least I can say I had some. Lol4
