I am covid free and back to life. Woo hoo.
I have out of town company as of yesterday so my free time is nil as I'm hosting them after work again today.
Tomorrow we get back to our trailer after 3 weekends away from it.
My movement was low during covid but both Brad and I have been better about tracking more since we got back from BC.
Will keep chipping away to get back into the 100's.
Welcome to new members and returning members!!6 -
Welcome @Antonia2050 ! We are looking forward to getting to know you - go ahead and tell us a bit about you (as much as you are comfortable sharing!) and ask any questions you may have. Our official August team chat will open up on Saturday, and everyone will re-introduce themselves there so you'll be able to get to know us. In the meantime, just dive in and get ready for August

Aloha everyone and greetings from Big Island Hawaii!
I’m not sure where to begin, so here’s some basic info … I am 62 years old and I’ve been retired for two years. I was a social worker for almost 30 years. I served in the Air Force before starting our family. My husband is retired Air Force. We have three children and eight grandchildren with one more due in August. I’m an Aquarius and love long walks on the beach. (couldn’t resist)
I am not very tall, and I’ve always loved my curves. However, menopause and Covid did me in. I joined this challenge for the support that it offered because I NEED the accountability. Aside from normal health factors, I want to be able to cross my legs again. I want to be able to put shoes on without holding my breath and I want to fit comfortably in an airplane seat. Simple, attainable goals. 🤙🏼
Thanks for having me.

@Antonia2050 Thanks for jumping in with us. I think you are our first member from Hawaii - such a beautiful place. I was lucky to do a few conference presentations there and many family members have had great times there as well. Quite a few of us in the team have military family or experience, and some of us are retired (watch out - we might be after you to take a leadership role in the team!!). I hope you'll find some kindred spirits here. My daughter is in the Canadian Army (Logistics) and my husband put in a few years in the US Air Force, even though I'm both a Navy brat and a kind of a former hippie and musician. It is amazing how life puts all the people together. I look forward to the stories and photos as you get going on the important work of crossing our legs and getting healthy. I lost my weight after menopause and am now almost 70 - so I know it can be done! I'll be kicking your butt
We're heading towards both the weekend and the beginning of a new month. Plans? Goals? At least racking up a bunch of non-zero days? Share your ideas, everyone.3 -

Holy cow! It seems I blinked and voila! 75 more entries by all of you lovelies! OK...I'll just say here that I've had a busy week with pretty good control on meals, and still not quite as much exercise as I'd like. I'm weighing in a day early because I'll be up early to go to the 6 a.m. swim class...at least I'll have more exercise tomorrow since I will also end my day with exercise at the pool.
Sorry I missed my weigh in last week. It's getting lower, slowly but surely.
Enjoy your Friday and I'll be back soon.

@CarolAnnM2 so jealous you're going to Halifax! It's one of our favourite cities. Our neighbours are there now and sending us photos of the solar bike tour they're on. So much fun to be had!1

So I've figured out that the inside of my hockey glove gets damp from sweat and when it touches the screen on my Garmin it shuts off the exercise recording! Not cool.
We're heading to Montreal for the weekend and I still have my fingers crossed that I will make it into the hockey camp that I'm waitlisted for. Otherwise I'll have to burn off the calories on the dance floor instead on Saturday night!
There will be lots of good food all weekend so I'm going to focus on portion control. Leftovers are not a crime! You can eat it again for breakfast. Mmmmmm m.... Breakfast.... Lol5 -
Good morning WaistAways!
I'll be gone tomorrow, so I'm weighing in today, if that's okay.

It's a miracle I've lost anything TBH. Food was pretty terrible and didn't log all week. But there was a lot of stress so there is that. I did try a Zumba class for the first time and that was a lot of fun and a good sweat.5 -
Friday Weigh-In
CW: 282.4
It did not take long for me to lose track of my prior weigh-in, and I don't think I logged it on MFP last week lol. So here's the current! I think it is a loss. Probably TOM water coming off since I didn't eat great this week.
Hot, hot, hot here in Boston. Planning to do a strength video tonight and kayak tomorrow morning. Going to the Cambridge Jazz Fest with friends tomorrow afternoon.
TGIF!!5 -

Slight rebound which I wasn't expecting since I sweat a ton during my two games last night and I was pretty sure I kept my portions in check all week, but I have a feeling I need to up my fibre intake to keep the digestive system running smoothly.
Going to be eating out all weekend so I will be keeping your voices in my head!
Welcome new team members!4 -
I am visiting my parents in RI and it so hard. I've done decent for the past 2 days, but my main trick doesn't work her...if it's not in my house, I don't eat it. Well, the freezer is stocked with home made cookies, 4 types of ice cream, and the pantry has lots of sweet treats. I did get some of the normal food I eat, but wholy cow and discipline!
So we are going on a cruise in September that stops in Halifax. I'm glad to hear a few people like that place! Any recommendations for a day at port there?5 -

Sorry guys, I'm still gaining. I've somehow switched off the weightloss motivation switch this month and I haven't been able to switch it back on yet.5 -
PW : 77 (on different scales)
CW : 78.3 (on my usual scales)
Well another bounce on the trampoline of weight management 🙂
It's been a week of sitting around resting my knee interspersed with whole days spent packing up my Dad's worldly possessions. And wow, he and my late Mum sure did squeeze a lot of stuff into a modest retirement unit. I keep telling myself that this is the culled down version because they would have had to dispose of a lot of things when they moved from a 3 bedroom house. But crikey, the kitchen cupboards were like Dr Who's tardis...things just kept on coming out!!
Anyway, there is light at the end of that tunnel and the sooner it's done, the sooner the unit can be refurbished and sold, and then that money can go towards his care.
I haven't been monitoring the group posts much, but I hope you're all keeping safe and well.5 -
Lots to catch up on today! I'll get some of the F2F housekeeping tasks done and be back later. But first of all, welcome to @littlemzkitty 1
