    @prodigal6766 and @myndieet Congratulations on some great losses!
    @Hotspur11 Thanks for caring about the team result, but how you are doing is more important than that. Are you back on track? Cheering for you!

    Are you ok with me moving you to a Sunday weigh in? That way even if you post late it will count in the weekly tallies.

    I love to cook and try new recipes (it has become a hobby of mine after retiring). I try to make one new recipe each week. I had to share this one - it was that good. Hubby said it was 5 star restaurant quality. I did add a little extra garlic to the sauce (we are big fans). I love to cook and try new recipes and Without the pasta 291 calories per serving. The picture is hubby's plate - I only had a 1/2 cup of egg noodles (but my plate didn't look as pretty as his).

    Hey we all have little slips now and again, don't worry about team results! As long as your here, and can get back on track that's all that matters.

    Heading off to visit my mum in Wales tomorrow, 12lb lighter than last time i saw her which was 6 months ago. Getting mentally prepared for "you've lost too much weight now", "you're not eating enough" and "i was going to make xyz for lunch (containing more carbs than i normally have in a month!).
    Anyone else got a mum like this? It's going to be a challenging week!!

    I think it’s great that you posted. It’s always easy to post when we have a loss but weight is never a straight line. Ups and downs are normal. I was trying to remember what part of the world you live in. Is it New Zealand?

    I think it’s a mom thing. I am always hearing what happens if you get sick. Don’t let it get in your head. Sometimes I just give in to avoid a debate but I won’t be this year when I go home.

    I am going to attempt a longer walk today. I will call an Uber if I can’t make it all the way or make the return if I get to my destination. My March badge is fairly easy. I have to get 5 swims done for the month. I am so behind on my housework. I have to get some today plus my menu for next week.

    Have a great Thursday!

    I've tried to figure out how to reply to a post and get the post in where I reply to, but failed 😆 I'm mostly using the App.. Please enlighten me 🙏

    I had a great week, eating wise. Keto gives me so much satisfaction.. I really love the things I eat, which when I'm on a regular 'diet', couldn't eat without a real dislike.. Like broccoli or Brussels sprouts, with keto they go down like it was candy 😆

    The real struggle is being active and getting my daily 6000 steps in.. I have fibromyalgia and besides being very stiff and in pain I also have multiple days in a week where I'm so tired I really can't get anything done.. Going outside and walk than feels like going to do a marathon.. The more I push, the more my body & mind resists, so I'm trying to do as much as possible, and that might be, on some days, not much..

    Ok, so last week I gained for the first time since starting my journey over a year ago and the scale is not budging despite super clean eating and lots of intentional exercise I’m about half way to my goal. Could this be the beginning of a plateau and how do I break it?
