@FushiaKat Down here in San Diego, allergies are really bad right now because of Santa Ana winds...don't know if you get those winds up there where you are but it may be because of the weather that you are having allergy symptoms. Happy Thanksgiving!
@Katmary71 Yeah I'm okay as long as I'm careful. Yes it is frustrating! BIL is home, thankfully. Yes it will! Hmmmm...I have a Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and I love it. Not sure how much they go for nowadays and I don't know your budget. I just looked on Amazon, they have them on sale. The cheapest is the Watch 4 which is $88: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Smartwatch-Bluetooth-Monitor-Detection/dp/B09MV37CSN/
Hi all. I hope you are doing well. Does anyone have any requests for a challenge in December? I was thinking maybe a tracking challenge but I'd like to hear from you what you want. Yesterday, I had to take one of my pups to the vet for a rhinoscopy. She's been having discharge from her nose and sneezing. I *thought* it would cost $700 but it ended up costing $1,400! Luckily, we have insurance and most of that will be covered. They didn't find any masses or tumors so they did some cultures and will hopefully figure out what is going on. The vet said it may just be a case of her having that kind of discharge normally. We'll see. I have to work today until 2:15 and then I'm off until Monday. Yay!
GOALS FOR THE MINDFULNESS CHALLENGE:
Ask myself if I am really hungry before I start eating, and stop when I am comfortably full.
SCORE FOR YESTERDAY: 8 (1-10, 10 is the best)

@micaroo4 I'm using a pedometer app on my phone but once I'm inside I don't tend to take my phone around the house with me or in the garden so it's missing a lot.
@trooworld A Samsung Galaxy is what I'd do if I had more money, I was thinking like $20 for now. I'm not sure if I'll keep up walking or not after I recover. Shoot figures it's on sale now, at least I know for next year right? I'd be game for a step challenge, everyone seemed to really love the last one. Yikes on the vet bill, thank goodness you have insurance.
Hi everyone, last post before Thanksgiving so Happy Thanksgiving all my US friends! I walked earlier and finished all my PT, didn't accomplish much else today aside of household chores. Have a great Thursday! I'm going to my parent's friend's house tomorrow for Thanksgiving then going to another Friendsgiving on Friday so not sure how much I'll be around. Take care!1 -

@Katmary71 Ah okay. What about a simple pedometer? This one is on sale for $9.99 for Black Friday at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/SimpliSteps-Simple-Step-Counter-Pedometer/dp/B093FWRR47/ I would be up for another step challenge as well. Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving! If you need some mindful eating tips today, here's an article on a mindful Thanksgiving: https://www.verywellfit.com/mindful-eating-at-thanksgiving-5087574 I don't think my Thanksgiving will go too badly: I have made several of my favorite sides in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving so I wouldn't feel obligated to make them today. I am making different things than I usually make (besides the cranberry sauce and turkey).

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans here!
Im back on track now that im back home and working again. Being on holidays may be great to be with my grandkids and my own boys but wow it’s hard on the staying on track. lol. I may have missed the answer but will I still be able to participate in our weekly weigh in. I miss the last one as I was away. Can someone let me know? That would be awesome cuz this keeps me honest and gets me motivated.1 -
I am so sorry, quick check in once again. Just want to say hi, I am still in it! Been really hectic here trying to get ready for my mom‘s 95th birthday. Tons of company coming to town starting tomorrow, but everybody will be gone by Tuesday. I have been staying on track. I don’t know how I am going to do though this weekend, it will be a challenge! Can’t wait to finally catch up next week with everyone1

@tammymccrady6278 Thank you! I think you are allowed to miss one weigh-in, but @broncobuddee will surely know.
@laurelfit57 How are you feeling? I hope better! Good luck with the prep for your mom's birthday, how wonderful!
@Cornanda I'm glad you had a good Thanksgiving. I also had a gain but mine was much larger lol. I'm not going to worry about it too much, it was one day.
Hi all. I had a good Thanksgiving and hope you did, too. I love the ritual of Thanksgiving...the watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, then we watch the dog show. I love the smells of cooking, the prep, I love it all. I am still suffering from vertigo and that poked its ugly head up here and there but overall, it went well. I didn't get a second plate but my plate was fairly full. HealthyWage is offering a FREE $5,000 Turkey Trot Step Challenge. I have done HealthyWage challenges in the past but have failed at them. I decided to do this one this time only because it is free. They set the step goal at 25% over your normal step achievements based on your device sync. Mine for today is 10,169 which is pretty hard for me but we'll see. Here's the link, if you do decide you want to join: https://www.healthywage.com/referral/step-challenge-3/free-5000-turkey-trot-step-challenge-2023/11896261004761

Happy belated Thanksgiving! I got through the day going just a little bit over my nutrition goals. I didn't fit any exercise in. It would have helped. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the day.3

@Veta2018 Great job with the Thanksgiving eating!
@Cornanda OMG Gus is sooooooooo cute! I want to get the girls some cute jammies. I got Daisy a cute dress but haven't taken any pics of her in it yet. I think Violet would eat a dress lol.
@tammymccrady6278 Congrats on the loss!
Hi all. I'm enjoying this long weekend. Yesterday, I went on several walks. We went to our favorite neighborhood and walked around the shops and the streets. A lot of people were out shopping. Speaking of shopping, anyone get anything fun on Black Friday? Years ago, my husband and I would get up at 3 am to go Black Friday shopping in person. Sometimes I still go shopping in person but I don't get up at 3 am to go anymore lol. I bought a food sealing system and a countertop ice machine as we are always running out of ice and this was a super good deal at Amazon Warehouse's site. Enjoy your day!

@trooworld I haven't given it much thought yet but did some browsing just now, I'm thinking of a cheap watch pedometer or waiting for Christmas, this one is only $19.99 with the coupon (but then I'll allergic to those bands too which is why I'm thinking of waiting). Good Black Friday scores, I've been wanting a food sealer. I bought my Dad a shaver but that's about it, I'm almost done with the Christmas Eve gifts just need to figure out small gifts for friends (since I have a ton of Starbucks money I see gift cards for everyone).
@Cornanda LOL you're totally getting the side eye! They're real cute on him!
Hi everyone looks like we survived the holiday! I went to a last Friendsgiving last night, it was fun hanging out and I got home by 10.Thanksgiving was at my parent's friend's house and their family and friends were very nice. I came home that night but all the driving drained me, I'm looking forward to not doing anything today. Have a great Saturday friends, let's get back to it.1 -

My whole family has had the flu this week (which a counts for the weight loss). We didn't have much of a Thanksgiving because everyone was sick. I'm getting better and I know that some of the weight I loss will come back. That's okay.1 -
Here's my pet in his jammies.

I thought I would give an update on my health and journey. The doc and I have agreed to hold off on the MRI unless I have the symptoms again. I continue to monitor my blood pressure, take vitamin D and I've added vitamin B12. The day after it happened I went strict carnivore. I have ate only meat and eggs until today. Today I was with my three teens(two being my teens). Spent the day running around. Because of that I had a crustless pizza. It had meat of course but i had cheese and sauce for the first time since the incident. For accountability sake I did have peanut butter jalapenos the other day but just a few.
Since my wife made a gigantic thanksgiving meal for such a small group I have 3 gallon bags of meat to meal prep with.

It's that time again - this coming week we open to new members for December. If you have any friends who would like to join us, send them this link! They can sign up and end 2023 with a bang. MFP might have its issues, but it is an easy one-stop-shop for tracking and community that still works well in its free version. Not perfect, but pretty danged good!

If you are already here on the team, you do not need to register again. We'll keep you always unless told otherwise!1 -
@865jessica Oh no hope you're all feeling better soon.
@19shmoo69 Silly I was expecting a dog or cat! Sounds like you're doing good, I hope you won't have any more symptoms and the vitamins help. Yay to leftover turkey!
Hi friends! I took a nap after I posted earlier and decided to do my PT and go for a walk, luckily my neighbor who has been walking with me had texted to come with and caught up with me. I got about 6000 steps and lost track of how many times we went. My brother's cat went home today, I thought they were coming tomorrow so I'm a little bummed, I love that girl. The cats all did real well though once she was in the cage to go home Jasper ran up to stare at her behind the bars and hissed. Pretty tough when she can't chase him, haha. Just closed my diary and first day under calories in a bit. Have a great Sunday!0 -

I was going to give up and quit. But I had a good heart-to-heart with someone today that's also struggling with her weight. So I'm not quitting. I'll get caught up tomorrow. Hugs and love.4
