Hello all - I need to get some good mileage logged today. It's going to rain all day here in London UK so I think I'll have to hit my elliptical rather than the pavement! I'll do small bursts every hour.
I've been building my activity up gently but the real work is yet to come. With me in the past I've been slow to get in to the exercise habit but once I do I really look forward to it.
I can't wait to find out which team I'm in - sounds like I won't have long now. I've given MFP a few tries now over the year but I've always tried to go-it-alone - that doesn't seem to work for me & I'm so glad to be part of this community.
Thank you @Tabatha_Cain and @Dianedoessmiles1 for the encouragement - it's nice to see the chats springing to life. I did a mid-week WI and a few more pounds have come off so that's 5lbs in total now. So that I don't miss the deadline I'm going to make Thursday my official WI day so I'll officially log my weight tomorrow
I hope everyone has a lovely day.
It's going to be so good to ditch this excess baggage - it is definitely not wanted on-voyage.0 -
@cmfarrell36 Happy Birthday Christine , have a good day0

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a good day. My co-worker is out today due to medical appointments today so it will be me alone upfront. Which is not really a bad thing. I do have some more travel to book today so we will see how that goes and how much the agents have to help me today.
@EmPea888 - The elliptical is my enemy. That thing works so many muscles. It makes me hurt just thinking about it. Right now I can withstand about 5 minutes on that machine. Than I give up as my legs are butter at that point. Way to go on the weight check. I love exercise too. Once I get into a groove I am good. It is getting to that groove that is the problem.
Well I hope you all have a Wonderful Wednesday.

@Tabatha_Cain - I'm with you on both counts. I'm really going to have to build up on the elliptical slowly and for a few minutes at a time. The old body rebounds quite quickly though so it's worth that initial creaky pain - I have got to oil those joints and motion is lotion. Ditto for other kinds of exercise. My body loves it but from where I'm sitting now this seems like an impossible task - that's just my mind's trick though - this is all very doable!

@EmPea888, Have you all been getting a lot more rain this year than normal? I live in Maine (on the Atlantic Ocean, the furthest state up next to Canada) and we are way over our limit. Please stay safe. I love love love the 5%!! I've gone from 288 lbs down to 170! All because of the support here. We had been on Sparkpeople (a free diet site) until 2 years ago when it suddenly closed. We searched and searched various sites and agreed MFP was the BEST Place for us to land!! We've been active here now for 2 years. GREAT JOB on the weight loss!! WOW!! FANTASTIC!!! Next Weds (Most likely) we will start to invite members to the team. Those on any team will be put on the team that needs the support the most. They will LOVE YOU so much whichever team you end up on. Come the Winter Challenge you'll have team choice if you'd like a different team, or you may be put on a team that you love right off. It's so much fun!! I am on and off this chat since I also help on the chat on the team I am on (During the break~ the challenge runs 8 weeks~ we combine 2 teams together for added fun! If one wishes to remain accountable year round, we can!! AND I DO!!) is always a crazy chat!! I read the posts here, but do not respond to them all. There's not enough time. LOL though its fun!
@Tabatha_Cain, did you sleep much? YO! You were up early as I was hehehehe just going to bed!! It was a LATE NIGHT for me!2 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 hey Diane - well I think we had all the rain last night but not for very long thank heavens. I'm in the UK so I'm no stranger to rainy days - but these days I do tend to wait for a break in the weather to have a walk. As Mark Twain said about England: if you don't like the weather, wait a minute.
I used to be on SparkPeople and I really loved it. It was a shame it closed but I guess the money went elsewhere. It's amazing what a snappy brand name can do and MFP came out on top. SparkPeople felt more social - so it's good to have this Challenge and the upcoming Teams as a focus.1 -
@JustRamona the start date is in this group's description, October 7. However, invitations to the team will be sent out the last week of September and Practice Week will begin September 30th. We like to have members on the team a week before we begin to get everyone settled and ready to go.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Thursday. I have my ultrasound today. So we will see what is going on. I should have the answers in a day or 2. I am able to see the results sooner than my doctor because I have a patient portal for the hospital and they will post the results there as soon as they come in as well as notify my doctor that they are in. So I can look while my doctor is still reviewing the notes and stuff. So I am hoping to know maybe even yet tonight since I am getting it done in the morning. I really hope that is the case.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes I did get plenty of sleep. My husband and I were wore out from the day and went to bed at 8:30. He has a small bladder so he had to get up to pee and then could not get back to bed. But we did get plenty of sleep.
@EmPea888 - We are a social group. I love to chat and respond to people. So of us actually meet up and do stuff. I have not been able to yet but some of us that learn we live close to others do meet up in real life. I would love to be able to meet @Dianedoessmiles1. If I remember right she is the one who got me started on my journey with 5% challenge with Spark People. Which I first started in Spark People way back in 2019. I live in Michigan and she lives in Maine so it is kinda hard to do. Maybe though we could do that at some time.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and it is going to be a great day. I opted to take extra hours for tomorrow at work. The only downside is that I have to drive an hour and a half away to the event we are doing. I am a little scared to do this event. It is a massive Auto Expo or Car Show. Well I just found out yesterday that all 3 of the big car manufacturers are on strike in the city I am going to. So I am a little scared to be at a Car Show since the employees that are striking are telling everyone not to go to it. So I am not sure if we are in danger like picketers or if we are going to be ok but with low attendance. I guess I will have to find out. I mean I am only there for insurance, membership, and travel so I really don't care about the car show. It does worry me a little bit though. I messaged the people in charge of the event my concerns. I have yet to get an email in response. So we will see if they do answer and what they say. I still think I am going to go.
Well I hope you all have a great Friday.
