@Katmary71 - Kathy, I'll chime in with the others who are saying it's time for that roommate to GO. Past time. You think he may have ADHD, but to me it just sounds like selfish and inconsiderate. Of course there's no reason he also have ADHD.
So far for August, I'm not doing very well with the clean eating. Basically, I'm eating through the processed foods to clean out the fridge and pantry! 🤣 Seriously, I don't eat too much processed food, but I do like my Chocolate Sea Salt Rx Bars, which are very high sugar because of the dates. 😋 And Rich and I do love our ice cream bars (Breyers Carb Smart). But I'm going to try to make better choices at the grocery store, so that what's available in the house is more like whole food and less processed.

Weigh in Day- Saturday
PW- 256.4
CW- 257.2
Introduction
Hi, my name is Jessica. I'm 37yrs old and live in East Tennessee with my husband and three kids. A health scare in April of 2022 woke me up into taking my health serious. I went in for a routine outpatient procedure and need up with sepsis and four areas of infection that resulted in two weeks of hospitalization and a mouth with a picc line in place afterwards. My highest weight was 284 and was creeping up easily and I knew it wouldn't take me long and I would hit 300. I felt sad and trapped in my body. After being sick I was weak.
I started by getting a physical for the first time in my adult life and lab work to know where my start point was. I finally got referral to a GI doctor after spending 30 years with stomach issues. I started caring for myself and giving a crap about what happened to me.
Still working on myself and making slow progress. I didn't get this way over night and I know its going to take time and me relearning habits.6 -

Good morning all. I missed last weeks weigh in so I do hope I am still a part of this. I was sicker than all get out and did nothing but sleep. Let me know if I am still a part of the challenge.
So it is August already. I can’t believe how fast this summer is going. And how hot it has been here in Ontario Canada. Crazy humidity.
Well as everyone knows my name is Tammy. I am 56 yrs old and have 2 sons and 2 grandchildren. Abi is coming up 9 and Levi will be 4 in October. I was raised on a farm by my grandparents and even though I live is a town now I am and will always be a country girl at heart. I love to bake, do preserves, jams, pickles, and all that old fashioned stuff. I crochet though mostly in the winter. I love my flowers indoors and out. I am a Personal Support Worker and have been for over 14 years and absolutely love what I do. The elderly population are so very rich in our history and have so many life experiences to share. Even with dementia they manage to give back all the time. I wouldn’t change my profession for anything.
I’m off today as I have a family bbq we are hosting. Having ribs, Mac salad,marshmallow salad, rolls, apple pie and ice cream…..
Hope you all have a great day…stay hydrated and cool…..7 -

@trooworld That's a great price for the classes, I hope you go! I also hope you remember no one's focusing on you plus being in the water no one can really see you either if that helps. I'm excited for you!
@TeresaW2024 Thank you! Aw I'm glad you and Joe are making plans for your anniversary, a day trip sounds like a perfect idea.
@Cornanda Thanks all is logged!
@micaroo4 Yum the food sounds delicious! They don't sound like the worst choices but definitely check out some other stuff like the frozen yogurt Yasso bars or fruit bars (the Carb Smart may have similar nutrition info to the yogurt bars in all honesty). I'm swapping fruit for dessert right now.
@865jessica You're doing amazing keep up the great work! Your intro is very inspiring!
@tammymccrady6278 You're still a part of this don't worry! I love reading how happy and appreciative you are with your profession. Enjoy the BBQ! I'm going to one tomorrow and even I didn't get a healthy appetizer so it's going to be a challenge.
Hi everyone! The horticulture center was a lot of fun, two other women in the garden club were there and we hung out. I completely forgot my walker so that was a pain! It's real hot today too so I was home by noon (it's 104 now). I did get a few things from the herb nursery who was a vendor there (the one I went to in spring). I did a light workout, wasn't feeling too hot this morning plus I walked a lot at the center so I just did some stretching. I have to get the Board Meeting minutes done next have a great night!

Hi everyone!
Really brief intro from me: I’m Meg, 42 year old Canadian mom of 2. I’m a teacher and my husband is a farmer and firefighter.
On mfp for many years and struggling with weight for many more. I’ve had great success when I track all my food every day. My problem is momentum: something always interrupts and I get out of the swing of it and suddenly months go by and my diet is out of control.
Tomorrow I’m heading camping for a week so I’ll be off the grid but hopefully the hiking, swimming and kayaking will mean I have a healthy, active week!
I’ll check in in the morning. All the best to you all this month!4 -

@tammymccrady6278 I'm sorry you were sick. I hope you are feeling better now. Summer is going really fast! I really admire what you do for work, it must be a very hard job. I hope you enjoyed the BBQ.
@TeresaW2024 LOL yeah, since it doesn't get that hot consistently, most people don't have AC here. We did bring the portable AC unit into the living room yesterday and that kept things cool! I think my anxiety about the pool is mostly about not ever being there before so I don't know what it is going to be like: will they have a locker for me? What will parking be like? Will there be too long of a line for class and I won't get in? Those types of things. But yes, also, "Will people not in the class be watching and laughing at my size?" I hope the storm passes soon. I'm glad you looked into day trips for your anniversary. That's a good pivot. What did you find?
@Katmary71 Yeah it is a great price, the Y charges $15 for a day pass/one class, so yeah, it's a bargain! It's not so much that, see my answer to @TeresaW2024 above. It is partially that though. I'm glad you had a lot of fun at the horticulture center. Wow, 104! Awww, Jasper is so cute! He's so helpful, too!
@19shmoo69 Congrats on the loss!
Hi all. I talked myself out of going to water aerobics yesterday. My anxiety was just too high. If I can't go today, I will go next weekend with a friend. The art festival was nice but really hot. I saw some cool things there. I am making a complicated Italian dish today involving a springform pan: Timballo di Anelletti | Sicilian Baked Pasta https://www.pastagrammar.com/post/timballo-di-anelletti-sicilian-baked-pasta-recipe ). It says it takes 2 hours to make so I bet it takes me 3. Sometimes when I make the meal plan, I schedule things that sound and look good but then I don't realize how complicated the recipes are lol. Wish me luck!

Currently on a bit of a vacation. That means lots of eating out. I will have to try to be mindful of what I order. The nice thing is there will also be lots of walking.
Congrats team on making the leaderboard!3 -
We went to the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen 91st annual Craft Fair this weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy the fair the way I like. We were with another couple, and the man has problems with his knees and didn't like the uneven ground inside the tents. He also has a lot of anxiety about being in crowds, so after walking through only 2 of the 8 tents, he wanted to view only from a distance. We were basically walking past all the tents, glancing inside, and continuing along the fairgrounds. He said we were getting an overview - but he really prevented us from shopping. At 2:00pm, he said "So are we done here?", basically giving us the signal that he wanted to leave, now. I told Rich, I am tired of having to curtail my activities because of someone else's infirmities and anxieties. We are planning to go to 2 or 3 more craft fairs this season, and I hope to actually be able to shop at the next one!

Hi, I'm Lisa
Live in FL. DH of 32 years. 2 young adult children still living here. Dog- Gus- a little guy. Exercise- walking and step aerobics and strength training. My weight is kind of stuck right now.
PT gave me permission to walk up to 1.5 miles. I am sore after that, so I will ask about it at my visit today. DH and I are going to visit his Mom later this week (in Wisconsin). Gus will stay at a sitter for part of the time and with my daughter for the rest. He stayed overnight with the sitter this weekend to practice. There was a little dog there who he enjoyed playing with, but he got anxious during the night and since he's home it's like he's either mad at me or recovering from the flu. Mom guilt!
Debby is raining cats and dogs on us right now, but this is pretty much all she will do here.

Good morning,
I am Sandy a retired correctional officer. Married to my DH 28 yrs. I am a mom of 2 wonderful children and Gmom to 5 grandsons. We have a cat Tigger and of course my crazy Diesel.
We live in central Tx. My family moved here when I was 8 so this is my home, In my younger adult years I lived in other places but seemed to always return to this part of Tx. John and I love to travel. We finally bought an RV trailer so that we can do some longer time out traveling. I have a bucket list of places I would like to see here in the US. it will be a yr or 2 before we will be able to actually do a month or two on the road but I am really looking to the day we get to hit that road.
My journey continues as I am working to lose the next 5 lbs. I have learned over the course of this journey to take it in small steps. By the end of August I am hoping to be under 165. This goal is achievable. So here's losing the next 5 lbs in the hottest month in Tx.

@gemwolf110 Congrats on achieving 1st place by pounds for week 5!!! And shout-outs go to @bethanie0825 and @sleepygirl79 for making it onto the leaderboard! And way to go, team, for achieving 1st place by lbs for the month of July! Way to lead the way in July, @gemwolf110 @FoxyMoxie04 @maryirisfroehlich !
@txcritter69 @Sleepygirl79 Congrats on the losses!
@micaroo4 That's too bad that happened. I hope you get to shop at the next one, I love craft fairs!
@Cornanda That's good you can walk up to 1.5 miles. Is this the first time. I bet Gus will do great! I'm glad you are just getting rain and nothing else. Good luck on your trip.
Hi all. I did not make it to water aerobics. I chose one of the hottest days of the year to make a complicated recipe in the oven lol. But the pasta came out really well, it was a lot of work but worth it. Delicious! I sweated like mad while cooking. I'm done cooking until Thursday (DH cooks Mon-Weds). Here's a pic of the pasta, it's encased in fried eggplant. Not the most healthy dish but delicious!

Wahoo on the Slimpossibles for having such a good last week! ⭐
@trooworld Girl, I looked at that recipe, and it is intense! I used to love to make complicated recipes, and now I live for when it’s sandwich day, and all I use are two plates and a knife. You will have to let us know how it went and how it tastes. 
@micaroo4 What a bummer that you couldn’t enjoy the craft fair! I suggest leaving that friend at home when you go to the other fairs. You gotta get inside those tents where the good stuff lives!
@Cornanda, I hope you have a good visit with your mom! Those little dogs are very good at giving us a guilt trip. I’m sure Gus will be just fine while you're gone but will require tremendous attention from you when you get back home.
Good morning! Thanks to Hurricane Debbie making landfall in Florida, we are in for a couple of rainy days, but it shouldn’t be too bad. Maggie is going for her 6th-week check-up this afternoon, and I’m praying that the vet will clear her to be a little more active and to go to the groomer. She is so bored and looks like a hot mess! I had no snacks or sugar yesterday, but we did order a pizza since I forgot to thaw chicken for dinner. So today, I will thaw that chicken and stick to healthier eating. Have a good day!

@trooworld – How’s your knee doing? I am right there with you on going someplace alone. Doesn’t even have to be a new place for me. I just hate it regardless. I won’t begrudge you not going. I’m sure your long cooking frenzy was like Sweatin’ to the Oldies!
@Katmary71 – I haven’t watched Dr. Giggles in decades! I should re-watch it for sure! Hahahaha! Maybe your roommate needs an appt with Dr. Giggles…just sayin’… P.S. Looks like Jasper contributes more to the household than that roommate of yours!
@TeresaW2024 – So did you settle on where to go for a day trip? I love little excursions
@micaroo4 – What a frustrating person that man is. Why would he agree to go to a craft fair if he knows he’ll be in pain? Definitely make the next craft fairs little day trips for just you and Rich. I’m so sorry that happened.
@Cornanda – Gus giving you the cold shoulder…hahaha!
So I’m guessing either my scale isn’t working right or I had way more salt the past few days than I thought. Like is it even possible to gain 8.4 pounds in a week? I don’t think so. I’m sorry, team. I really don’t know what’s up with that. Like I know I didn’t make the best choices, but I definitely did not eat almost 30,000 extra calories.
I need to get back to batch cooking like I used to. I would pick a bean of the week and grain of the week and make several servings of each that I could mix n match with whatever veggie I wanted to quickly steam. Ugh. Motivation is non-existent. I need to just freaking DO IT.
On a happier note, we found out the gender of my grand #5…it’s a GIRL! My son is happy cuz he wanted another girl. My DIL kinda wanted a boy this time. Maybe next time. I was fine either way (like it makes a difference). So we will now look forward to Amelia Kay in February
I hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy a delicious piece of fruit! I’m about to eat a Michigan Peach. Over the sink in the breakroom cuz it’s really that juicy. Ciao!
