WI Monday
PW 215.2
CW 215.4
Sorry all, just dropping in for my WI. I am busy this week preparing to travel. I have been sick, busy and running circles. I should be back on track once I get settled.
Congrats to everyone who had a loss and those who are still hanging in here.7 -
It's a good day. Started with the ab challenge and then went on a tree job with the hubby. I'm going to do a little weeding in the garden and then jump on my new elliptical for a half hour.
Congratulations @txcritter69 @vegan4lyfe2012 @Digger61 @megnolia82 and @gemwolf110 our leaderboard winners!
@AustinRuadhain - Thank you.
@trooworld - Laughing cow cheese, never heard of it but it made me giggle.💪Mission Slimpossibles - June Strong!💪7 -

Ok...I've been corrected. It's not called an elliptical. It's a walking pad. I guess they are two very different exercise equipments. I used to have an elliptical but I called it a coat rack and no one corrected me then.

@gemwolf110 Great reminder on goals and love your workout today!
@AustinRuadhain Hi there! You're welcome! LOL I just said that on Veleta's post we're going to be hurting that week! I got my neighbor to do it too and she's already sore so I don't see her lasting long. How funny Habibi is Mr. Fun, I get that my Jasper is too, he loves anything exciting while the other cat only likes when things are calm.
@megnolia82 That's ok no worrries just weigh in soon. I'm glad you had a fun time at the game!
@19shmoo69 We're happy you're one of the super duper awesome people too! LOL Chris said almost the same thing got to love her! It IS confusing what's going on when the feed hasn't vanished. Bet the Powers That Be are nervous a lot of my friends quit MFP and went to LoseIt.
@gemwolf110 Love the meme!
@TeresaW2024 I'm glad the potluck was a success! Those are the hardest to not eat a lot at everything is so good.
@trooworld I'm glad you got the walking pad set up I hope it works real well for you. That snack sounds yummy! Yikes I know the freeways near you get real jammed I'm sorry you got stuck in the traffic. Roommate stuff coming up.
@AustinRuadhain Good plan you got this!
@txcritter69 You're welcome! Have a great trip!
@AmbersWay Safe travels to you, thanks for checking in!
Hi gang! My roommate's been acting weird and when he came to the farm today he said hi to the manager and ignored me so that cemented something was up (plus my kitties are real upset lately). I asked if there was a problem and he said he knew what happened at the farm. Since nothing had happened I'm guessing the week he moved in when I was worried I made a mistake got back to him as he'd told me his old roommate had been wanting to sleep with him so he left which basically makes every story he has people doing inappropriate things wrong and it's never his fault he's just an innocent in all of it. I was concerned he wouldn't be able to pay rent as he was barely working and that got back as he slammed money on my desk Friday. I've given him the benefit of the doubt and now this so I'm not thrilled. We've gotten along since and it was behind me but someone overheard my conversation with the manager and I'm guessing embellished it and this just came out. He was getting loud in the clinic so I told him he could calm down and talk like adults or get out of my house so that's where it is. I'll give him a chance to talk but otherwise he's out of here. Not much else going on I have to water the garden and get some work for the charity done. Have a great night and happy Tuesday!6 -
@cornanda how can you stand all that cuteness from Gus!!! that face♥️
@trooworld poor Daisy!!! I am trying to picture it but I can't begin to figure out how you would get a dog to accept getting Flonase. I tried to look it up on YouTube and went down a rabbit hole🤣. So glad that your foot is getting well enough that you can do some walking on it. Make sure to take good care! Laughing cow cheese is my grandkids favorite, have you tried the herb and garlic, that's my favorite!
@veta2018 the only time I go to a movie is with my grandchildren. I must admit I always used to fall asleep, but I'm getting pretty good at watching the whole movie now lol.
@katmary71 I try really hard to take advantage of time with my grandchildren, I know as they get older, grandma won't be cool anymore
. Sounds like you had a very busy Sunday! I just saw the ab challenge, if I go in on it can I make modifications:)? Yikes! Between work and your roommate, that's a lot of drama going on, do you do deep breathing?
@AustinRuadhain thanks for the movie recommendation! It must be hot in Texas all year round if you grow tomatoes in the winter.
@gemwolf you have crazier seasons than we do!
@TeresaW2024 good for you for getting right back on track again, I love your goal!
@19shmoo69 you always make me laugh!
It was crazy trying to find tomato plants. I really wanted some thing like an a roma plant so that I could use it to make my salsa in the fall. I was obviously too late, but I did finally find some a very tiny place run out of a fellow's backyard. I am afraid I totally fell off the wagon yesterday, watching our team in the hockey playoffs is stressful lol. I ate too much Chinese food, back on track today. I stayed in my limits. I didn't go to the gym today, I was so behind on everything that I just decided to take a day to get back on track. Hope everybody had a great day5 -
@Katmary71 I'm so glad you reposted the ab challenge. I saw in on instagram and it was so little that I didn't there was words in the light blue area's. Long story short, Lol... I have only been doing planks & crunches. Lol... I'm starting over tomorrow.
@AustinRuadhain Lol... the first week was easy, lol... but I haven't been doing all the exercises and I realized it when @katmary71 reposted. Hahaha, I'm starting over tomorrow, so we can check in with each other. If you want....
Hi all, I have noticed that everyone is on "loseit" I joined the exodus group, I sent some friend request to some that I knew, I knew. I couldn't send one to Katmary71 or @AustinRuadhain, my email is annadrews69@gmail.com if you would like to send me a friend request.
I started a monthly plan on Walk at Home, it's been good so far. I also started the ab challenge, but tomorrow I'll be starting over, funny story, I couldn't see the writing in the light blue, so I wasn't doing those exercises.
I also did a thing. I bought a Garmin venu sq. I can't hardly wait till it gets delivered. I hate the watch I have, it's always messing up my information, so I found one marked $80, so I swooped it up. (one of my grands says that 😂😂)
I've been doing good with exercise and just moving around more. I feel really good about that. My food choices have been somewhat better. I have sort of started intermittent fasting. I quit eating about 7:30-8:00pm and I don't eat again till about 10:30-11:00 am. I'm drinking hot tea and/or water in the evening.
It's good to be back, y'all have a great evening. TTYL...... 🙂6 -

@trooworld I hope you like your walking pad and that it won’t bother your foot. I had one of those stepper machines, and it killed the tendons on the top of my left foot, so I gave it to my niece, who wants to get back in shape after the baby. I need to buy a cantaloupe! I love them with lots of black pepper.
@19shmoo69 I’m durin’ good or, as my daddy would say, “Fine as frog hair split two ways.”
@Veta2018 HaHa, I once had a treadmill called Coatrack. Cute fur baby!!
@Katmary71 Ugh, I think the dude has to go! He is casting you stress and you don’t need that kind of crap. Stay safe!
Good morning! Well, I'm not surprised that I gained after that potluck. One day of doing well won't reverse what I did on Sunday. I did really well yesterday with my eating and did a 45-minute rebounding routine that was super fun. I will begin Dig Deeper today, where Shaun T will try to kill me. I’m looking forward to getting back to weights and pushing myself. I managed to snap this cute pic of Joe and Maggie Mae. It’s hard to get Joe to make full eye contact these days, so this pic means a lot to me. And, of course, when isn’t Maggie just the cutest?

Hi everyone. I’m Jackie,60 yrs old and live in Ontario, Canada with my husband of 34 yrs. We have a daughter (29), a son (27), and our first grandbaby is 3 mths old
DISCUSSION QUESTION: How has my weight affected my health?
I wasn’t always overweight. I was very active, athletic and a healthy weight up until half way through my first pregnancy at age 30. I gained 70 lbs (mostly at the end) and stayed there. I didn’t even lose the 7 lbs that my daughter was. I still worked out, played sports and ate healthy but couldn’t get my weight to budge. When I got my first Fitbit at 51 I discovered I was only sleeping 2-4 hrs per night and was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea which I would guess started as I gained weight during my pregnancy. After 2 decades of sleep deprivation and obesity the health issues piled up started with a major artery blockage at age 43. Since then I’ve had several stents and am currently dealing with another blockage, Chronic Lymphatic Leukaemia, diabetes, psoriasis, arthritis, sleep apnea, chronic inflammation and diminished lung capacity. All of these ailments list Obesity as one of the causes.
And on a brighter note here’s my
HUMONGOUS DATE STORY: The first time my husband cooked for me was in his small bachelor apartment. He made Bbq steak with Mac and cheese. His kitchen sink was overflowing with dirty dishes so he lifted the toilet seat and set the colander on the rim of the toilet to drain the pasta. My SIL included that story in the speech she gave at our wedding and needless to say, in our 34 years of marriage I’m the one who does the cooking.

Good morning,
@19shmoo69 We are chillin' like a villain here in Goliad State Park (really we are sweatin' our butts off thank God for a RV with AC)🤣. Under a heat advisory😅 It will be 95 today but will feel like 109 and humid. But all is good.
@AmbersWay No worries, take care of yourself.
@Veta2018 Thank you, What a busy day. I like the walking pad. I have a treadmill in my workout room collecting dust at the moment. I will be getting some use this summer when Tx visits hell🥵
@Katmary71 I am sorry you are having a hard time with your roommate. Maybe having a sit down talk at home would be a thought to see where to go from this point.
@laurelfit57 Take advantage of that time with your grandchildren, cause you are right about not being so cool when they get older. I fell off the wagon Sunday going out for Chinese. But I have a sensible meal plan for our trip so I hope to be good this week.
@DrewsAnna It is really nice to see you back. I have a few walk at home DVDs that I use off and on. I like her. Starting the ab challenge when I get back.
@TeresaW2024 Love the pic of Joe and Maggie.
@trooworld Hang in there. My DIL had the surgery and is doing really well with it. She is happy to have done it. You Have my support. YOU GOT THIS!
@Jactop I was 42 when I had my stent put in. I was told it was either hereditary or my smoking that caused my heart attack. So I quit smoking and the weight piled on. Your dinner story is too funny🤣
How does your weight affect your health?
For me it is more mental than physical. Mentally I am depressed, I do not like what I see in the mirror. I wear baggie shirts to cover my stomach cause I feel like I am several months pregnant. I don't wear tank tops because of my bye-bye arms. Physically my knees hurt from time to time, my feet have times where they want to let me know they are tired of carrying me around, my back hurts all the time and my body gets stiff if I sit too long, so I am getting up and moving alot.
This month I am making this happen. Have a great day folks🤠

@Katmary71 - No kidding, even week 3 looks like a challenge. (120 crunches) Sorry to hear your struggles with your roommate. Its sometimes difficult living with someone. Hopefully everything will workout.
@laurelfit57 - I planted cherry and celebrity tomatoes. I have volunteer tomato plants coming up all over my garden. I transplanted them into small pots to give away. I'm just waiting for them to have some flowers on them first. I had to do the same with my strawberries for they flooded over the 9x9 raised bed I have them in.
@DrewsAnna - I do walk at home with Leslie Sansone too.
@TeresaW2024 - Thank you. Great picture of Joe and Maggie. I like the way both their heads are tilled while they look at you.
@trooworld - I just got it, so I only used it a couple time. I'm a little nervous of falling since there is no handle and It feels funny when I step off of it. I think I'll get used to it though. I use Tajin on my fruit too. I hope your visit with the dietician goes well.
@Jactop - The Bbq steak with Mac and cheese sounded good til you mentioned the toilet...lol.
@txcritter69 - I believe in you. You can make it happen!
DISCUSSION QUESTION: How does your weight affect your health?
At my current weight I feel an improvement in my strength and energy. I can breath easier when I do cardio and run. It's easier to move around because I'm more flexible, have better balance, coordination, reflexes, strength, and endurance. Which makes me feel more motivated and active. I'm more driven to accomplish new things. It took a lot of mental strength and discipline to get here. I still have all this knowledge and discipline and I want to keep using it. I want to challenge myself to keep improving. I'm more confident. Sometimes, I still can't believe I actually did it.💪Mission Slimpossibles - June Strong!💪4 -
DISCUSSION QUESTION: How does your weight affect your health?
I am at a healthy weight. And coincidentally, I am healthy! The biggest influence my weight had on my health was my energy level. Carrying around a lot of extra weight really tires you out.

@TeresaW2024 - Love the picture of Joe and Maggie!3
-
Hmmmm, how does my weight affect my health?
It would depend on the definition of health.
I've never been much of an athlete and I was always the big kid/person. So as far as body mechanics I wouldn't know how to compare. I know as I consistently workout I can do more for longer. But us that health or ability due to muscle memory? Granted I have had a couple recent health scares. Neither time did any test reveal any health issues.6 -
@Veta2018 That's what I want to get, one of those walking pads aka small treadmill. I live in Florida and the weather is awful most of the time, hot, humid, rainy, bugs, yuck. Hurricane season has started too. So, I won't be able to walk outside as much lately. Unfortunately, I'm still too big for a walking pad, you have to be 300 or fewer pounds for the one I want to get. It's kind of ironic, I have to lose weight to use a machine to lose weight. Lol.5
-
Checking in early today, the rest of my day is going to be busy.
@DrewsAnna I hope you enjoyed the new watch, I know I find mine motivating although it is a pain in the butt at times.
@TeresaW2024 it sounds like you are kicking off this week right! That is the cutest picture of Joe and Maggie Mae♥️.
@trooworld looking on YouTube, who knew dogs could have so many allergies and stuff! That's exciting that you are going for your final visit with the dietitian. How long after this does it take before you can have surgery?
@txcritter69 that's funny that we both fell off the waggon with Chinese food on Sunday. Good for you that you have a meal plan already figured out for your trip
Veta2018 it sounds like you have an amazing green thumb! I always have my fingers crossed that I can keep half of my plants alive to the end of the season.
Started out the morning playing some agility with my dogs. We came home and I was attempting to get all of my tomato plants planted. Ty was so helpful, I was only able to plant half of them. On track with food today, did not do the gym again today but did agility with the dogs this morning and I'm going to do agility with Vannie later on this afternoon, I figured that's a good enough work out lol. I have my supper planned, after agility I am heating up of the hamburgers that I got the recipe from @trooworld🥰.
Vannie was exhausted from agility this morning, Ty couldn't wait to help plant the tomato plants

It was pouring down rain early this morning. Now it is sunny. Isn't that how life is? It seems when the storms of life roll in then we forget that the sunshine is soon to be coming.5

WEIGH-IN UPDATE
WEIGH-INS DUE NOW: @megnolia82 @littlebabekitty @vegan4lyfe2012 @AyaTheTyga @rjv230 @reshii_devi @FushiaKat
Reminder for tomorrow's weigh-in: @DrewsAnna3 -
@Laurelfit57 I think you'll always be cool! Of course you can make modifications, I'm doing the same as I can't plank and do full sit-ups. Haha I told a practitioner today I worry about everyone because no one's happy and worried and I want everyone to get along. It IS a lot plus my roommate's at work and the farm so I'm tense all day which sucks. I just had a treatment and am headed to the tub soon, I'll definitely do deep breathing then thanks! Which tomatoes did you go with? I think going to people's houses getting them is more fun than going to a nursery (it's easier for me too since no standing in line ). Chinese food is real hard to moderate! You'll love the burgers! Haha looks like Ty wants to harvest tomatoes for you!
@DrewsAnna it IS hard to read, the person who found it posted it and I couldn't see the photo I'd taken of it either. Haha good reason to go with the photo where you can't see half of it for challenges! I have modified the full sit-ups and planks. You sound like you're doing great being back on track!
@TeresaW2024 It's frustrating how much one day can throw us off. I think you can beat Shaun T don't let him push you around! I love the photo of Joe and Maggie Mae, it's a beautiful picture.
@trooworld Haha it's hard to live with people even when you love them. Hugs I know that weigh-in must've hurt I'm sorry. I hope the dietitian isn't a jerk. Thank you for posting the question I completely forgot again geez! How can we support you? I hope you realize you're an incredibly outwardly and inwardly beautiful woman though I understand wanting to feel that way about yourself too.
HOW DOES YOUR WEIGHT AFFECT YOUR HEALTH? It doesn't in a major way but my blood sugar isn't as low as I'd like and I'm self-conscious.
@Jactop Oh no I didn't realize all the health issues you're dealing with right now I'm so sorry. LOL that colander story is priceless!
@txcritter69 What you wrote about your weight is similar to how I feel too you described it perfectly. Love your month saying!
@Veta2018 Thanks! I love reading your positive weight post that's wonderful!
@micaroo4 That exhaustion at my highest was the worst I agree.
@19shmoo69 That's true life can take a turn pretty fast.
Hi team, just got home from having a treatment and am supposed to be watching a Zoom but can't get in. What's new right? Not much else going on, roommate and I haven't talked. Planning on watering then a bath. Have a great night and awesome Wednesday! Week is FLYING!3 -
Daily Post ~ Wednesday
Track ~ Yes- Day 28
Calories ~ over
Exercise ~ 60 minutes of Zumba and 10 minutes sauna3 -
@lislisa123 - I did not know about Joey and "How you doing?" I looked it up, and laughed!
@AmbersWay - Hurray for staying close to steady1 I hope the dust settles soon!
@gemwolf110 - What a good day!
@Veta2018 - I had to laugh about the elliptical that you called a coatrack. Your puppy looks pleased. Perhaps watching you is fun.
@Katmary71 - SO sorry about the roommate not acting like a grownup. Ugh. Good for you for making sure he's out if he's a nut. Or can't pay his share.
@laurelfit57 - Austin is not unbearably hot, but tomato blossoms don't set fruit once the temps are going over about 90F. So we need to start them indoors and plant them at the very start of March.
Hurray for your tomato plants and for being on track with your food!
@DrewsAnna - I am just now catching up with today's messages. Crazy day. I'd be happy to start checking in tomorrow if you like.
I have a Garmin. I hope you like yours!
I am also doing IF. I am starting food at noon and ending at or around 8 PM. So the morning coffee or tea is critical for me, too.
@TeresaW2024 - That is a great picture of Joe. What a treasure. And Maggie Mae looks adorable.
Here's to digging deep this week!
Oh and black pepper on cantaloupe -- I will try that!
@trooworld - Thanks for the Fonz moment. (Have you seen The Martian? The Fonz gets a nod.)
How Does Your Weigt Affect Your Health?
What a great question.
It affects my socializing. I don't have so much fun with clothes. There are activities I am reluctant to do because I look bad or don't feel good doing them.
I don't like to do regular physicals (shame, and a feeling all will be blamed on weight).
For me, also fear. I worry about what is going on. Morbid maybe, but a thing for me.
@Jactop - Your date story is hilarious. Wow! Humongous is right!
5 -
Quick check-in on my day
- I kept food to my losing weight calorie goal.
- I made good food choices. No salad for dinner, but I grabbed a smoothie at a place that has one that is veggies and protein powder, no bananas or sugar.
- I got in two movement sessions: 1 long morning walk and a midday bike ride. The bike weas a big jolt of fun. I'll do that again tomorrow. And a morning walk, too!
Feeling better about goals and life today!4 -
Hey teamies ~ apologies for being more MIA then usual. This new schedule has me completely outta wack (I don't handle change as well as I did in my youth!) These new hours are exhausting. I'm so behind in everything, catching up feels quite overwhelming. Haven't been able to swim or gotten nearly enough movement, but NO ZERO DAYS and I've managed to actually log everything. Even the bad stuff! Hoping to get a better handle on things by the end of the week ... and that you're all doing better than me, lol
Weigh In Day: Monday
SW (Starting Weight): 198.2
PW (Previous Weight): 194.7
CW (Current Weight): 196.8
I'm so tired of gaining and relosing the same five pounds. I've done it twice since April! Fortunately, I've still lost a few inches so not feeling totally defeated but uuugggghhhhhhhhhhhh June has got to be better.
DISCUSSION QUESTION: How does your weight affect your health?
@ my highest weight of 280 I was depressed and pre-diabetic. Losing almost 90 pounds has not only reversed it, but I'm beginning to feel more vibrant and youthful again. Realizing how many diseases correspond to obesity has become all the self-motivation I need.5 -
@Veta2018 I love her, I have a hard time keeping up with the new generation of walk leaders, but I won't give up, Lol... it will happen.
@laurelfit57 I love your fur babes.
@AustinRuadhain Tomorrow is fine, I restarted today. Lol... I'm always trying to shift my body clock. Last year I was sleeping until 10:00-10:30 am, now I'm getting up about 9:00-9:30 am. My goal is 8:00-8:30.... I'll get there.
I had a good day today. I did day 4 of the Walk @ Home monthly plan. I had to modify it from 1 hour to 30 min. Physically, I am not ready for 1 hour. Lol... I will get there. I made good food choices today and I'm hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow. My new watch should arrive on Friday. I'm beyond excited to have something dependable. All of my exercise information is incorrect. Grrr.... I restarted the ab challenge today, and I found out I can't do one sit up. So, I did extra crunches. I'll keep trying, I'll get there.
Tomorrow, the weather is going to start getting into the 70's for at least a week, so I'm going to be outside a lot. My walk at home plan might turn into "walk outside" lol....
Y'all have a good evening, TTYL... 👱🏻♀️
