@Tabatha_Cain , how did door dash go? Hope work went well also. Most in the city I live in are back on. WEIRD I am close to Portland, yet, more of them are not back on. Hopefully they will be by tomorrow or Thurs, outer areas LOL who knows, but all of those people do, or should have a generator. I am thinking of getting a small apartment size one. That's all I need. Unless I want in the summer to have AC, so torn! So I'll make no decision today. LOL0

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Tuesday and it is going to be a really good day. Although we are currently having a thunderstorm at some point today. It is raining right now. So that stinks, but it will still be a good day.
@JEB03253 - Wow my stepson is in Minnesota and they got a lot as well. He said the flakes were the size of golf balls. He even sent me a video. It will be spring soon.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Door Dashing went great. I did a decent amount last night. Work was so busy, but it made the time go by quick. I am always torn on whether to even get a generator. I know I should have it for at least my fridge and freezer. To save the food at least. If you have trouble with the heat I would definitely recommend one that will also run your AC.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday.

Good morning. Other than choosing a team, I think this is the first time here in this chat.
I'm keeping weird hours these days, so am here at random times. House is about to be put up for sale. I'm spending most days sorting, donating & packing. Moving from FL back up north "right back where we started from" (OH, that's the California song I used to sing! LOL.) Life is stressful now. I'm hanging in there. The challenge team helps me as a constant. Idk exactly when the move will happen, but I will keep the team leaders informed. We won't call it a "vacay" bc it will be my son helping me (and us working our butts off.) Moving is somewhat of an adventure. Altho, it is still a LOT of work.

@Tabatha_Cain, For the next 4 we will be in either rain or showers of just cold and cloudy. It is Spring time. We got so hit over the weekend with freezing rain. It was very unexpected!! Some people are still without electricity even in the cities. GLAD though mine is back on!! Summer heat, humidity is horrible for me being in congestive heart failure. I'll have to do more research on an indoor apartment generator to see if it can handle the AC. Otherwise, just hope we do not lose power! One hurricane up the coast can do it, but so "far" the majority of time they get up here, they are losing strength. It has happened, but it's rare. LOL I was the ML on Sparks on the Dawggie team we got one. BYE BYE Went an EL, myself (ML) and the CL!! YO!! We had at the time an inexperienced WL and another EL who was good, and pretty much ran the show for us!
@ThursLins , Oh I hope this move is a good one for you? Sometimes circumstances cause a move we'd not of made. I remember that song "Open up those gold gates!" LOL!! Sounds like you're relocatinng to a different area though. Wishing you nothing, but peace. Moving is always stressful even if it's a move we want! SO SORRY you're not sleeping well. I am up early for an online Dr appointment. They made a HUGE DEAL out of being on a 1/2 hour early, but they've NOT JOINED! Now that's just not fair! I had to get up early, it'll be an interesting appointment though! About genetic counseling for cancer. My Mom died from it (breast) and my Dad had it horribly and suffered so (Skin, weird how he suffered so many do not! I have it also, but I am checked all the time knowing about Dad, but his wasn't checked until things were quite advanced.

@macrat12... National Purple Day!!! It's my favorite color.
Today I woke to a weather advisory for freezing rain this PM and into Wednesday. The yuck just never stops...we still have more snow on the ground than we had for the rest of the winter and now it will be snow with a topping of ice. I wonder what will happen to the trees that have budded.
I'm heading outside for a little snow cleanup before the rain hits.

Hi PSl team, I have missed the in between challenges with you, fast pace and fun. short update of what I have been doing. Lost my hubby December 6th. Ya the grief has been terrible. Getting used to a quiet house and dealing with all the legal things that crop up. Went back to work part time middle of February, Back to work full time second week in March. That has been a tough go as well due to schedule changes no set shifts, and days off were changed as well. I have been learning how to fix things myself.
Battling eating disorderly conduct, grief, some depression. I am going to a grief support group. I don't think that is helping much. I have way more support here.
The Fit Force team has been great letting me vent and giving pep talks when I need it. motivation, support, comradery is the best! Thank you all for your help.
I have found sending pics with an I phone isn't easy either. Sometimes it will let me. Its probably something with the format differences with android and i phone. Hope it gets easier with an update.

@lavalily Good to hear from you. I hope travel is possible; I’d love to see you again.
Hope everyone is OK after all the bad weather. It’s been beautiful here; we get our scary weather during hurricane season. I’ve been a bit under the weather after a skin peel procedure. I had no idea it would make me so tired. I left the house for the first time since Friday because I had to go to the grocery store. It’s serious when we’re low on cat food for her highness.🐈⬛2 -
Lovely to see people here from Sparkpeople. I was on there several years, had a break and when I went back it was . . . gone. All my blogs gone, everything.1

Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a great day. Yesterday I actually was able to get a membership. So now I am up to 3. I am not sure how I am going to catch up. I need like 15 a month is what they have determined and I did 6 in January, 11 in February, and now only 3. I am really worried about this. It could affect my bonus next year and my pay raise. So I really have to bust butt. I will have to figure something out. Not sure what, but I will figure something out.
@ThursLins - Oh wow a whole house move. That is a lot. So will you leave then once your current house is sold? Moving definitely is an adventure.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I would definitely look into it. I did see an ad for an indoor generator that charges while you have electricity and then dishes out electricity when you are out and it will provide electricity for 2 or 3 days.
@JEB03253 - Good luck with the snow clean up. I really hope we are done with the snow, but realistically we can snow into the end of April here so that may not be the case.
@Sableness - I am glad you are feeling a bit better. It is serious when Miss Kitty does not have her food.
@LaetitiaLouise - Yes a lot of people were deeply upset because they lost years of recipes and everything. We are glad you are here. I was on spark for years as well.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Hello. I'm Christiana. I'm new on this site and first time on this group. I discovered it when i first logged into the site/app and there was a post on the recent forum option on the side. I liked the idea of starting up by being part of a team as i believe it can motivate me continue2

Today was spent at drs. offices. Had my vascular test, then went for blood tests for dermatologist, then picked up a prescription. It made a long day and even though I didn't do anything, I am tired.

to regard old problems from a new angle,

@LaetitiaLouise, HAPPY to have you with us!! Sparks closed August 17, 2021. I am so happy that we relocated over to MFP!! It was not an easy choice between the sites we looked at, but we absolutely wanted it to be international. You'll notice a few big changes, but once you adjust they make sense. To let somone know you've mentioned them if you a @ before name it'll tag them. YOu can put Pictures and GIFs in here!
Ask us any questions and once you get onto your team, continue to ask! Its an easier way to learn.
@Sableness LOLOL Aww POOR Eve!! LOLOL! Oscar and Izzy are fast sleep, I am okay with that!! I hope you are okay after the skin peel? I live in Maine, on the coast and yes we lost electricity as did most others. Hehehehe learned an eon if you reather your power comes on ASAP live near the police/fire station. We are on the same line as they are. I am dealing with a cold now.
@walkintofit so happy to see you again. I had wondered about you!! I am so sorry you've been through so much. Huge, okay MAJOR changes there!!
@Tabatha_Cain TY TY for coming with us from Sparks to MFP and also being a leader with Fit Force, of course, you know ,,we love the competition with you all on Positively Strong 4 Life! I hope you can get the memberships!
@Laetitiallouise were you on the 5% If so, what was your screen name? of course, some of us may know you any ways if you weren't.

@Patti241, HI Patti! We hope you enjoyed the day. MORE RAIN coming for us huh? I know you're down the coast quite a bit (LOL and states! but STILL!! ENOUGH RAIN!! Here in Maine we've had more rain this month than any other March on records!
@Macrat12, WOOHOO CHEERING you on the with exercise! WTG!
@Kurtize, it's great to get that done!! Hopefully you'll not have to go back soon to the Drs!!

@Dianedoessmiles1 So true; our last home was near a major highway, and our power always came back on ASAP. Here, not so much, but we have solar panels and a backup battery to run essentials like the coffee pot!
@walkintofit Love the card you received. Someone gave me a boxed set of cards with that one in it. I still have the pretty box. HUGS
@Tabatha_Cain Hope you meet that quota without stress!
We had a good rain this afternoon, and it’s still dripping. I hope it keeps up. I love the sound of gentle rain at bedtime. For dinner we had salmon, big salads, with mulberries from our backyard tree for yummy dessert. This was day 5, and my poor skin went into overdrive on peel and shed mode. I can’t imagine people having this done on their face. Mine was between my bra line and neck; never again unless urgently medically necessary. I’ve been slathering aloe on it. The lotion I was supposed to use didn’t agree with me.1 -
Good Morning Airport Friends:
I hope you all are having a good morning. Today is Thursday and it is so weird that the week is going by so quickly. At least that is how I feel. Today is going to be busy. I have an early physical this morning and then my therapy at lunch time. I have to be to work at 8:15 so I am hoping my doctor is on time today. That is something I would love to have happen. I just need her to be on time. I am still working on the memberships, but I know I will get there by the end of the year. I want to get premier performer and I need to bust butt to do that.
@christianaderw - The teams are really motivating. I wish you luck. Have you picked your team yet?
@Kurtize - I feel you. I feel so darn tired some days. Hopefully that bloodwork comes back as you expect it to.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. We love the competition as well. On break though it is nice to be one big team. I miss that part of the breaks. I too hope I get caught up on the memberships.
@Sableness - Thank you. I hope I do to. I am so sorry. I never understood those skin peels. Unless the dermatologist recommended them due to skin cancer risks. Good luck on your healing. Glad you had a gentle rain. Ours was a bit agressive.
Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday.

Diane: Yeah we had a lot of rain here yesterday.0

Hi All,
I know tax season has kept me quite busy the last couple of weeks, so I guess I've missed a lot.
I don't see anything about the start of the new challenge, I had it on my calendar for April 6th, is that correct?
If I've missed it, I"m sorry.
Please let me know if I'm still able to participate.
Thanks,0 -

@Dianedoessmiles1 I was ChicChantal on Sparkpeople, frillier name on here. My actual name is one dull syllable so I wanted something better. Call me LL for short.2

@chansen_2000 - You've not missed it. Invitations to the Spring teams began going out this morning and I've seen at least half the teams have posted their invitations have been sent. I've not seen that announcement yet for your team, but it should definitely be sometime today or tomorrow. Please watch your Community Groups for your invitation. Practice Week begins on Saturday and the official Challenge begins on April 6th.0

Happy Thankful Thursday, nice day but very, very windy. Don hates the wind. Oh well. Not much new here. Just being lazy, good to get out of system before challenge starts. Hugs all have a great rest of the day.
today's daily inspiration:
As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand
that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives
for which we should be particularly grateful.
They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness --
just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it;
just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength;
the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder

Today's Inspirational quote: "To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try." — Rosa Parks2 -
Hi All!! I just wanted to post a note on our group team thread about our change from 8 weeks to 10 weeks challenge time. I personally loved this longer length of time and that we had shorter interim challenge time & could stay in our own teams between challenges. On Shape Shifters we let everyone know posting was optional during interim time & left up our same posting spaces. AND @gouldsgranite added a new 2 week thread for posting exercise & LTGL. It all went very smoothly & felt great to continue to chat with & support our teammates & friends. Thought it was important to let Lynn @Kaliswalker & Ceri @Ceriously & leader team know my positive experience so far with this change. I loved more time to get to know teammates & to lose weight & more variety of LTGL too. I loved staying with same team & friends in interim challenge. We had a couple of health issues/surgery happenings too & were able to continue support of these teammates. One thing I loved about Sparkpeople that felt like happened with 10 weeks + staying on same team in interim was a sense of continuity & friendship & connection between teammates. I love 💜 this. So thankful for this change & hope we keep it going forward.
Just my 'thoughts'....
