Good morning Team Mission Slimpossible!!!!!
I've been described as hilarious, insightful and magnificent motivator. I appreciate the compliments.
Our Team Captains @trooworld and @Katmary71 is where the true gold of this team lies.
My name is Darren. Married to an amazing woman. She is definitely my better half.
I'm an elder in our fellowship.
I've been battling my weight for most of my life. My heaviest was over 312. I got down to 229 once and managed to gain back to 280+. I eat the carnivore diet (mostly). I've cleared the space around my weight set so I can do some strength training. It's warming up where I live in Arkansas. Hopefully soon I can get back to running.
To all the new people, there's this nasty rumor that seems to never leave this group. The rumor is I that I have a massive addiction to coffee.
I just want to let all of you know that this is TRUE!!!!
Have a blessed day.

Good morning! I’ll do an intro here then weigh in in a separate post.
I’m Meg, I’m 41. I’ve recently had an epiphany:
Over the years I dropped every one of my coping mechanisms and things that bring me joy until all that was left was food. I need to dive back into all the other things that gave me peace and happiness. Hiking, swimming, reading, crafting, playing piano, singing.
This month I will set a goal to check in 5 days a week. And to walk (deliberate, not just at work) for at least 3 hours.
I have struggled to count calories and try to stay away from food but I think I need to keep food in its lane. It is fuel. It’s not a friend, not a counsellor, not something to give me a boost or calm me down. Not something to ease stress. I need other tools to cope with all those other needs.
Here’s to a good month. I’m looking forward to taking the time to really listen and get to know you all better!

@laurelfit57 Oh I know this well with Violet lol. I have corners of walls chewed up to prove it! LOL And everything else. Man, that sounds sooooo cold! Good job tracking. I'm glad you've been sleeping ok. She is sooooo cute.
@Cornanda Blast from the past, right? Thank you, Lisa!
@morenin I kind of figured you'd dig it! Thank you.
Hi all. I had a great time at the museum yesterday. My husband joined us for coffee and we then went to a second museum. It was fun. Afterward, my foot was killing me (the one with plantar fasciitis). I came home and iced it and took some Naproxen. It helped a tiny bit but I'm going to avoid the zoo today (I planned on going). I've got things to do and want to be able to do them.

@morenin I’m so sorry for your cousin and pray that she can receive treatment that will benefit her life. Be gentle with yourself, too.
@Katmary71 I definitely need a challenge to get myself going in the right direction! And thank you, I am very happy to be back.
Great job on getting your pockets and gum in better shape. I also have a couple of deep pockets that my dentist keeps a close eye on.
@trooworld, your bangs are so fun! I might need to do something like that one day.
I love that floating tea cup! Seriously, it's so stinking cute! Thanks for my Richard greeting meme! I used to do his Sweatin to the Oldies.
Good morning! So, yesterday Joe woke up more confused than usual and I knew something was up. I tested him for a UTI and ended up calling an ambulance to take him to the hospital. I have learned that having him taken by ambulance there and into a room so we aren’t sitting in the ER waiting room forever. It was bad enough that we had to sit in an ER room for eight hours before they let us go home. I could have kept him there and probably should have because he kept me awake most of the night. But the thought of returning to the hospital today was worse, so we did our best. I have to run to the pharmacy and get his antibiotic and then spend the day resting. No church and no church chili cookoff for us today. I am really hoping and planning that tomorrow, I can get back to working out and getting myself back on track with my eating. Have a good day!

Hi! I’m back from my travels. The roughest 10 days in a while. This year has started off rough. Sickness after sickness, my Aunt passed away, traveled and got 3 sick kids during this past week. My eldest ended up the worst and we had to call a doctor to the house.
The day I left, I got some results back from the hospital and they weren’t good. So now onto that and the scary possibility of having to get back on the meds that made me so sickly for 2 years.
That’s my sad update of where I have been. Some traveling, a pity party and trying dig my way out of the hole.
Now onto better things, I’m back and hoping to continue my streak of moving daily. Today is a day off as I was on a flight and exhausted. But I have been able to keep my steps above 10k. My diet was decent, but not amazing. I did go shopping today for a bunch of veggies.
Intro, I am a married (30 years) mom of 3. I’m a proud mama bear and spend a lot time keeping up with them. I’m from the midwest but have been living the expat life for years.
I’m a long time member of MFP I lost 70lb+ years back but after some health issues I gained some back and want to get it off. I lost 30lbs with this amazing group this past year. Then have put some back on since my husband’s accident. I’m confident in saying, I’m an emotional eater. I’m have fought myself to keep up with weekly weigh ins until I am fully back on track. Im slowly getting there.
Thankful to be here and glad to have you all.7 -
I'm Mica! I am 67 years old, I live in New Hampshire, and I work 3 days a week as a bookkeeper in a plastics factory. I still consider that to be "full time", since my workload is still the same as when I worked 5 days a week - I just have to do it faster!
I am one of the Maintainiacs of the Mission Slimpossible team, currently maintaining in my goal range of 127-133 (center weight 130) since 2019.
My housemates are my boyfriend Rich, and my cat Earl. (My profile picture is Earl).
My favorite exercise is walking. I love to ride my bicycle to/from work, but I'm not an ice-biker, so that will have to wait until the appropriate season for cycling. Indoors for cardio workouts, I've got an elliptical and a stationary bike. I also do workouts on FitOn.
I do some yoga and strength training on FitOn, not as much as I should, but I try to do at least something every single day, even if it's just one set of lunges.
Technically my weigh-in day is Saturday, but because I was going away this weekend, I last weighed in on Thursday morning Feb 28. I have not been on the scale since; I normally weigh myself daily, so tomorrow will be the day or reckoning. We've been eating out for every meal, I've had very little opportunity to exercise, and it feels like we've been at a party that never ends...or a never ending buffet. All food all day. Tomorrow, I'll try to put myself back on my normal portions, normal mediterranean-type food choices, and my usual exercise program resumes. Maybe I'll even get my weight back to normal by the time I have to report again on Saturday.

@trooworld - I LOVE the floating teacup! I want one! or three! Your bangs are gorgeous... fuchsia looks good on you

@trooworld I have to admit I was a bit jealous of the attention you got with your bangs. So, I thought I would share my bangs. My wife thinks they're cute.

-2.6 yay ☺ worked hard last week to stay within calories and had food poisoning yesterday so I expected lost.
Non scale victiories: lost 1 inch off my waist and thighs and can now walk pain free for long distances. No more swelling 🎊
My Intro for new people:
Hi, i'm Josey. I'm a wife and mommy of two in my early 30s, living NYC. I started with Mission Slimpossibles in November 2023. I have been using Myfitnesspal since 2009 with great success losing over 90lbs and reaching my fitness goals. I was able to mantain up until 2019 when covid hit. Due to stress and family crisis, I let myself go, stopped using mfp, and gained back all I lost.
I have currently lost over 30 lb since last year. I workout at home with HIIT cardio on my bike/elliptical and strength training with resistance bands. I am a Christian and my hobbies include singing, art, crafting, photography, nature, and gaming. I also love animals and I have a calico kitty.
Please feel free to add me as a pal here the more motivation the better! And my messages are always open 💕7 -

Had an amazing day today hiking at a not-too-far away conservation area. It had waterfalls, cliffs, kettle pools and caves. So beautiful. The weather was cool but not at all unconfortable with winter coats, hats and gloves. I’m in Southern Ontario where we’ve been pretty bare for snow all winter but had a real cold snap earlier this week. We bought a conservation membership which gets us into 12 parks within an hour of us. I plan to visit all of them and do all the hiking and kayaking we can fit in!9 -

Drinking water payed off. Lots of running to the restroom.7 -
My name is Nicole, I'm 40, and despite my profile photo I actually have very red hair, thanks to my talented hairdresser.
I have 2 kids, one just turned 12 yesterday and the other on the cusp of turning 6 at the end of April. I also have a husband who is 47 and, as my mother-in-law pointed out with glee, he has a bald spot.
I am a serial loser, I have lost 75+ lbs at least 3 times in my life, once as a teen, once in my 20s and again in my 30s. I'm hoping that I'll lose it, and it'll stay lost in my 40s.
I started this group at the end of last month's challenge, and was very proud to have logged 4 consecutive days of eating! Which let to some immediate results. Weekends are still a challenge, but hopefully they'll get more manageable with time and practice.8 -
