@micaroo4 I switched from fitbit to garmin around 8 years ago. Garmin links up with almost everything fitbit did, and though I went from one of the basic ones (alta) to a full fitness watch I love the data garmin gives me, and the various options for activity tracking. I think most of the google/samsung and Apple watches all link up to the same apps as fitbit as well!
@trooworld love the bob, you're gorgeous!2 -

@trooworld Love the new bob and l at the photo-bomber. I love that you go to the zoo often. A good walk and fun.
@Neon_Ninja the Italian restaurant was blah. I enjoyed seeing my friends but it was just blah food. Definitely will find somewhere more exciting for next months friend luncheon.
@megnolia82 congrats on the negative results! Have fun on your getaway!
@steffibabiie you’re doing amazing! I am so excited to see your numbers.
@Katmary71 the kitty glare was brutal. I love the picture and their attitude. So funny. Oh I wish I could train people too. After my medical “mishap” (boy that puts it lightly) I met with the head of nursing, the head of medicine and the hospital manager, to give them feedback on how they’re lack of almost killed me. I was in a wheelchair, tubes coming out of me and a sick bag and still made those appointments to try to help the next patient.
@micaroo4 thanks for the info on fitbit. My husband wanted to buy for his parents. I think we’ll stick to apple watches. I got my mom a fitbit snd it wouldn’t charge. She took it in, bought a new charger. Never worked.
@Cornanda you’re doing great. Love those numbers. Have fun watching football.

My latest…hmm I’m tired, as usual. The little one is feeling better, missed a week of school. Eldest are doing good. Hubby starts physical this week. It had got postponed. I did my first 30 minutes of cycling yesterday in over 2 months. That was fun and rough. Getting off the carbs slowly but surely. Yay! That’s all for here.
Have a beautiful Sunday1 -
@vegan4lyfe2012 Congrats on the loss!
@Makanacapellocullen Way to go!!!
@steffibabiie @Cornanda Thank you!
@AmbersWay Thank you! The photo-bomber is too funny lol. Yes, we get a lot of use out of our membership! Definitely a good walk and fun. That's great your little one is feeling better. I hope the physical therapy goes well and isn't too painful. Yay for your 30 mins!
Hi all. I got in 17,772 steps yesterday which is incredible for me. We stayed at the zoo for 4 hours + I went to the street fair and walked around. It was a lot of fun! Here's some of my favorite pics from yesterday. Have a great day.

Once again, I can’t take full credit for this loss. Let’s say 50% was mindful eating this week and 50% was post-infectious IBS. I tried to eat carefully at the retreat but I had some Greek salad for lunch which may be the culprit. Had a rough 24 hours or so.
Is it terrible I’m actually grateful this illness is helping me to lose weight? I’m in some c diff groups online and everyone is trying to gain weight. I’m just quietly over here rejoicing that if I have to have an illness, at least the side effect is something I’ve been trying to achieve forever. (Don’t get me wrong, I feel great empathy for everyone who started out at a healthy weight and is struggling to keep the weight on. It’s not my struggle but it’s a very real one and I’m so sorry this illness is robbing them of their health and energy). We’re all in the same storm in different boats.
I’m sure that’s not the healthiest mindset, but sick is sick and I could either be miserable about it, or see it as an opportunity to clean up my diet in a way that not only heals my gut but leads to a healthier life all around. As someone who started with more than 60 pounds to get down to a healthy weight, I think I’ve got the stores to navigate quite a few months of strict diet before I worry that I’m losing too much.

Way to go Slims! We rocked Week 3!
@trooworld : Omigosh, love your Bob and the color! Your zoo pics are fantastic. I've always had a thing for giraffes. I think they can be really graceful and in a tall animal that's hard to do. Plus, they're just so weird with the long tongues, and coat patterns. I think I read where a giraffe's blood pressure is something like 250/180!
@Katmary71 : Ha! Loved the 2 cats and you're right they do remind me of those "Shining" twins.
@megnolia82 : Glad you had a good time on your retreat until the salad, anyway. It sounds like you have a great attitude about things-I can hear your confidence coming through!
@askewcr : Happy belated birthday!
Mr. NeonNinja and I were supposed to be driving out of state to help celebrate my mom's 100th birthday today. But I had to cancel.
I started not feeling well on Friday and then yesterday spiked a fever. Since it's a 9-hour drive there, I called my siblings yesterday to give them the news. Still sick today but feel a couple of smidges better, of course. Totally bummed about it but rationally, it was the right thing to do rather than carry the plague directly to her. I will hopefully talk to her tomorrow (which is her birthday).
Have good rest of the day!4 -
@Neon_Ninja oh no! I’m sorry you’re sick. It always hits at the worst time
that’s very disappointing, even though you know you made the right decision.
I Hope you’re feeling much better quickly and you can make a visit to your mom!1 -

@megnolia82 I'd be curious to hear what your GI says on the pre and probiotics too, I always felt like they helped some but am not sure. I'm glad the retreat dinner went well, who'd of thought there would be a silver lining from all this with being able to eat fairly healthy there? I think you're viewing being sick in a good way, you're making changes so you're less likely to get sick again and be more healthy so you're taking a bad situation and learning from and changing for the better from it. I admire that about you.
@DrewsAnna Thank you! Oh no the rain's coming on strong with fall for you! Boy that's too bad you can't go up then save down for last with that hill but I'm glad you two got out there!
@micaroo4 Wow that's too bad about Fitbit and Google, thanks ofr the info.
@Cornanda Hope you enjoyed football today, reading outside sounds awesome I may copy you on that!
@bethanie0825 Wow that's quite a gain from mac and cheese, I'm glad today wasn't your weigh-in day too even though you'd know it wasn't actually fat, it sucks seeing higher numbers even if it's temporary.
@trooworld Well shoot I hope you get used to your hair, I think you look beautiful! That man looks like he's trying to work up the nerve to flirt with you, lol. Wow that's serious steppin right there! Those photos are awesome, glad you had fun.
@Cornanda Nope! The cutest dog was my neighbor's, she stopped by to visit me and brought Frannie. I got a good pic of her, I'll stick it in the end. My neighbor was scared my cats would hurt her since she's so small. There ARE tons of cute dogs there and all the animals in costumes for the contest and races are super adorable.
@AmbersWay That's very impressive you went to educate the hospital crew, you're one strong person! I know when I started my lawsuit it was about it not happening to more women so something good could come out of it. I hope PT goes well for your husband this week, first two weeks are always tough. Great job cycling!
@askewcr Hope your birthday celebrating is going wonderful!
Go Mission Slimpossibles for being the top team and lbs lost! It's been awhile since we hit first place, great job everyone!
@txcritter69 @steffibabbiie @Digger61 Great job top winners!
@Neon_Ninja Oh no I'm so sorry you missed your Mom's birthday, shoot! It is the right thing to do, you don't want to get her or anyone else sick. I hope you have a good talk with her.
Hi friends! Bow Wow Days was fun yesterday, can't help but smile at all the pups in costumes. I stayed until the last 20 minutes then came home, I was bummed the gang went for drinks because that would've been fun to go but I was worn out plus I'm feeding my neighbor's cats and had to get over there. I was in charge of the raffle ticket booth, we did real good and the event was fun. Today's been resting. I'm a little traumatized seeing my photo after a few weeks of steroids, I always hope I don't gain but I think it's impossible, I'm figuring out my next step but have stuff planned throughout the next week making any strict eating hard. I made a collage of the Fisherman/fish dogs, our group at the booth, and my neighbor's grandpup. Let's finish September strong!

Weigh in Day Sunday

I've started on a new program for the next 3 months in which I'm doing more intense cardio, getting a lot more protien, but also eating more total calories than I'm used to. I'm not surprised that the scale is up a bit at first. This program is focused more on muscle development and fat burning rather than seeing the scale drop. I haven't given up on the seeing the scale go down eventually, though. I'm still not at a healthy weight for my size and body frame. We'll see how it goes....3 -
