Happy Saturday-
The 5% challenge seems complicated- there's at least 3 different threads to post in. I hope I am up to the challenge of figuring it out.
Stridekick- I was having the same problems as the rest of you. I logged in on my computer and changed my password. Then I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. It seems to be working fine now. I did have to re-add my Fitbit to the app.
Lots to do today- catch up from bad weather days this week- Aldi, grocery delivery, need to stop at Target, and also get my flu shot. My work is 99.9% remote- I went on site once last year. But the possibility of having to go on site means I can't be excused from the flu shot.

@19shmoo69 It was me that had to give up coffee...but only for yesterday morning lol. I had a procedure done that required fasting.
@lislisa123 I'm so glad to hear you all are safe. I hope next week's storm misses you as well.
@micaroo4 Thank you for the fall picture! I love the fall colors and miss them very much.
@bethanie0825 @baodell17724 Congrats on the losses!
@Cornanda Good luck with everything and have a great Saturday.
Hi all. Endoscopy went okay, The procedure itself took 8 minutes. I was awake enough during the whole procedure to realize what was going on and hear the noises my body was making (which were pretty darned strange). I don't know if that is normal to be awake but that is how it was. My throat was a tiny bit sore immediately afterwards but the soreness went away within the hour.

@Cornanda yay for the 5% challenge! Maybe it will shake things up for some of us, especially me :-) :-)
@katmary71 I love that veggie platter picture!
I did a hot in yoga stretch class yesterday, I am so stiff today I feel like I can't even sit down I am so stiff and sore🤣. I used to do two of these classes a week, over the summer a lot of things slid. I really need to get back on my game.
I did a new class today with Ty with a young trainer who was awesome and very patient with us. When we got home both Ty and I were very hungry. I keep telling myself I am going to buy a bunch of raw veggies, cut them up and have them in the fridge. Well I keep buying the veggies, I never cut them up and they just go bad. I don't know why I got away from raw veggies I always have a small salad with lunch and one serving of cooked veggies with supper, I don't feel like that's enough. On the way back from training today I stopped at the grocery store and picked up a platter of already washed and cut up veggies. I have never bought pre-done veggies before but I have already eaten a big plate of them :-). Come to find out, Ty enjoys broccoli, cauliflower, celery and especially carrots. I thought she was just going to take them from my hand and go play with them, she's actually eating them all🤣. Thanksgiving here tomorrow so my plan is to eat a big salad before I go out to the farm for Thanksgiving dinner.
For those Canadians in the group, a very happy Thanksgiving and to the rest of you I hope you have a great Sunday.4 -

The 5% challenge started today. I think I posted every where I was supposed to.
I went to a birthday/Halloween party for 2 of my grand beauties. I dressed up a little. It was fun until the older kids started having a "cake fight", I was like NOPE, and left shortly there after. Before I left I helped my daughter clean up a little.

@laurelfit57 Thank you! Those are veggies I put in at the farm I only brought home some micro greens. Sounds like brunch and the theater went real well, wtg! That's depressing being so sore after not doing an exercise for awhile, I hope you're able to build back up soon. LOL so YOU will have to start eating more raw veggies to share with Ty! I was absolutely shocked I put micro greens in a bowl and my cats were munching on them, who knew?!? Happy Thanksgiving!
@trooworld Thank you! Smart to look up info about the endoscopy, I'm glad it went well! Do they put you in twilight sleep for that?
@askewcr Looks like you're getting it you had a great weigh-in!
@morenin I'm so glad you're taking the increase in stride yay for a thinner face! LOL I know you're frustrated but I had to laugh at how freakin frustrating weight loss can be!
@DrewsAnna I think a lot of times having stuff like candy and soda it's not like you had a ton of calories but the sodium and sugar cause issues. Hang in there you got this! Great walking!
@vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you! I'm so glad to hear Oliver's seizure condition can be managed with medication, still shooting up prayers for him! I hope the gene mapping gives some answers the more knowledge the better. Awesome I don't recall if I sent you chair videos but I'm more than willing to. Resistance bands are awesome I think you'll be surprised how strong you can get with them.
@Cornanda What an amazing shot of Gus, wow! Your husband had some great advice congrats on an awesome weigh-in! I hope you get all your items done, sounds like a busy day!
MOST USED EMOJI is a heart.
@gemwolf110 Wow the aurora borealis is so beautiful!
@TeresaW2024 I hope you have a wonderful time at the potuck, it sounds fun!
@lisalisa123 You're welcome, thank goodness that storm missed you and everyone is safe. I hope this next possible one falls apart! I can't imagine living with hurricanes they're so frightening.
@micaroo4 You are awesome thank you for getting the weigh in before you leave I appreciate you! Those trees are so beautiful! That's one thing after my back surgery last year that helped was seeing all the beautiful trees when walking to rehab.
@19shmoo69 Woohoo let's rock and roll for the weekend!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING my Canadian friends!
Took awhile to catch up I'm glad to see lots of posts! I had an awesome time at the concert, they put on a great show. We didn't get to Reno until about 5 then we left at 8AM so my brother would be able to work both days. He won enough playing blackjack to treat us to breakfast. I rested most of yesterday then today I got all the dirt for my rented garden bed and filled it then got most the plants
in, I'll post my two collages of each when I'm done. Filling that garden bed was hard work it's been awhile since I sweat that much, hopefully it burned off all the junk I had out-of-town! Tomorrow I'm going to breakfast at The Grange with the 4A kids serving then tomorrow night is Volunteer Appreciation Night with the charity at a Mexican restaurant. I'll have to check on my garden bed too until everything's settled. Did great today with food but tomorrow's another challenging day, the breakfast isn't that bad but Mexican food at night is challenging. Have a great Sunday!

Good morning from Bar Harbor Maine!
OMG, it's shoulder to shoulder people here for Columbus Day weekend. It was cool and breezy yesterday, and I wished I'd brought my down parka - but that would be ridiculous when it's 50°F! I'd better toughen up if I'm going to get through winter!
We're planning to do some hiking today, but rain is expected later this afternoon and into tomorrow morning. Rich's birthday is tomorrow. It seems like it always rains on his birthday, or he's sick for his birthday. I'll take the rain if it means he gets to stay healthy - seems like a fair trade.

@trooworld, I’m glad the endoscopy went well. How strange to be aware of what is happening.
@laruelfit57 Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope you have a wonderful day with your family. Buying already cut-up veggies is an excellent idea if it means you will eat them!
@DrewsAnna, You make an adorable pumpkin!
@Katmary71 I’m glad you enjoyed the concert. The pictures are great! Good luck with all your eating events. Do you garden in the winter too?
@micaroo4 I would love to be in Maine at this time of year! I hope Rich stayed healthy and that you could enjoy his birthday.
Good morning! Today is our chorale concert and potluck lunch. This is my only meal for the day, so I will enjoy it by eating only the things I really want and controlling myself at the dessert table. In two weeks, we have our ladies' tea, and I bought a new outfit that fits but will fit better if I can lose about 4 or 5 lbs, so that is my focus. You all have a great day!

@laurelfit57 Those classes always sound tough lol. That was a good idea to get the precut veggies. Good job eating them, too! That's great that Ty likes veggies. Our dogs do, too, especially carrots and grape tomatoes. I can't believe it's Thanksgiving already. Have a nice time and Happy Thanksgiving!
@DrewsAnna I would have left, too! No cake fights for me! LOL I love the pic. The background is fun and you look super cute!
@Katmary71 They didn't do twilight, they injected 3 drugs into an IV and it wasn't quite twilight. But it was enough that I didn't cause them problems lol. Scary enough, one of those drugs was fentanyl! I'm glad you had a good time at the concert. That was a quick trip! Yay for a free breakfast! That's a lot of eating out lol. I hope you enjoy it and have a great Sunday. Great pics, you are so pretty! Thanks for sharing!
@micaroo4 I am glad you are having a good time. Happy healthy birthday to Rich!
@TeresaW2024 Thanks. It WAS strange! I hope you enjoy the potluck. You got this.
Hi all. I didn't do too much yesterday. I did grocery shopping and then I had a Spanish lesson with a new tutor. After that, we took the dogs to Pug Rescue San Diego's Halloween pug party. We didn't stay too long as it was hot and Violet started to get overstimulated and began barking at people. Today, I am donating blood this morning and working on a base/platform for my Halloween display: a friend at work gave me a pirate ship and I'm making a platform that has water with waves for the ship. I've never tried this technique before so we'll see how it goes.

After gaining almost 5 lb. in a week for no apparent reason, I'm a wee bit frustrated. I shall now go sulk with my flavored, sugar free water!3 -
@katmary71 now that I know that Ty is a veggie eater it will make it easier, we can share L O L. That's so funny that your cats ate micro greens. It sounds like your Reno trip was great, but super fast! Looks like the concert was fun, love love love your pictures! I would be super tempted with the Mexican food as well.
@TeresaW2024 your potlucks always amaze me!, Controlling oneself at the desert table is always a challenge
@Trooworld some of my classes really are not difficult at all lol! That Yin class that I took on Friday, you just lay there and hold a stretch for a few minutes. If you haven't done it for a while you really feel it! I took a new class this morning. A friend of mine really wanted to take it and she wanted company, I figured out I really need it. It is core, balance and stretch. I didn't realize how horrible my balance is! Where are you going to put your pirate ship? That sounds super cool!
Well… I hate to say it, I dropped out of that 5% challenge. Every time I go on there I am always searching and hunting trying to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing. I do it in the evening and my brain just does not have the bandwidth for it, I am way too tired. I am going to just check in here on a daily basis with the things that I really know I need to work on and check them off. I hope that's OK. I will do it at the end of the day, just so I am being accountable somewhere. Is that OK if I do it here? This is what it looks like.

I am hoping to do it at the end of every day. I think if I just have to check these things off at the end of each day, I will be successful keeping up.
I also stopped at the store and bought some more convenient fruits. I love melons, pineapples, mangoes, all fruits that take time to prepare. I think that's why some days I don't get my fruits in. I stopped at the store and got seven apples and a bag of mini oranges. That should make it easy for me to get my two fruits a day. I just really have to get back in the habit of these things I used to do them!5 -

@DrewsAnna I love your outfit you look beautiful! I don't blame you for not getting in the cake fight!
@micaroo4 Have a wonderful vacation, happy birthday to Rich!
@TeresaW2024 Thank you! Yes I garden in winter, the fall stuff will keep going so it's cool weather stuff. Have a wonderful time at your concert and potluck!
@trooworld Oh boy so if they use fentanyl you know without it you'd be hurting! Thank you! When is your trip to Spain is it scheduled? It's Spain not Mexico right? I'm like Violet I bark at people when I get overstimulated too, lol. I'm curious to see how your technique goes!
@laurelfit57 I'm sorry to hear the challenge didn't work out. We'd love to have you check in here daily!Apples and oranges are a great idea, I'm sure you'll do great getting your fruit.
Hi team! Am having a pretty good day but my deer “friend” is back, poor Jasper was whimpering earlier staring out the window and I saw the deer staring in the window when I got up, hahahaha. It's being a PITA insisting being in the yard, I at least harvested all the kale and Swiss chard before he does. I skipped pancakes this morning and just had eggs and a sausage at breakfast. Next up is the charity volunteer appreciation so I'm heading out there soon. Have a great Monday!1 -

@micaroo4- beautiful pix!
@laurelfit57 is right, the %5 is complicated- not in what you are doing, but too many threads to post in. However, I am feeling energized by having a very specific goal in mind for once, so I will keep on with it.
Have a good week!

@morenin Congrats on achieving 1st place by pounds!!! And a shoutout goes to @bethanie0825 and @Cornanda for making it onto the leaderboard. Way to go!
@morenin I'm sorry about the gain. I bet next week, you'll see a big drop. Hang in there.
@laurelfit57 Oh that sounds nice. Balance is important! I am going to put the pirate ship on the platform on top of a side table by the TV. I ordered these really cool pirate skeletons (they are 3D printed, I just have to paint them when they arrive) that have swords and armor. I will put the skeletons on the beach. I'm so excited! That's too bad about the challenge, it does seem like a lot of people had trouble with it. That's great that you will post it here. I think it's a great idea! Good job getting the convenience fruits. Good job yesterday!
@sleepygirl79 Congrats on the loss!
@Katmary71 Yeah that's true! No, it's Mexico City, MX. We haven't scheduled it (yet), probably late 2025. LOL Violet is funny but embarrassing when all these other pugs were behaving themselves! I'll post a pic of my display after I paint the base. So far, so good! I'll post a couple of pics of it in process and then the finished pic. That deer, poor Jasper!
@micaroo4 That's really lovely. What a wonderful place to hike!
Hi all. I achieved my 3-gallon donation yesterday at the blood bank! They gave me a certificate and some Halloween socks (everyone who donates this month gets the socks). After that, my DH and I went for coffee and ran some errands. We came home and I took a nap, the blood donation wore me out. I worked on my Halloween display platform: now it is drying and then I will paint it. Today, I have work and a phone appointment with the cardiologist to go over the test results.

@laurelfit57 I would love it if we Baptists could find another way to socialize with each other without requiring casseroles and dessert tables. Wishful thinking, I’m afraid but I did really well this time.
I didn’t even try to do the 5% club because I don’t spend enough time on my computer other than early mornings. I think you holding yourself accountable here is totally fine.
@Katmary71 What if you got some deer spray to keep them away? I also heard that they don’t like human pee, either. Just saying!
@micaroo4 Great pictures! What a blessing to be able to walk in such beauty.
@trooworld, how are the Spanish lessons coming along? Violet and Maggie seem to have the same temperament when overly stimulated. I can’t wait to see your Halloween display!
Good morning! Yesterday's chorale group was fantastic! Everyone was blown away by how good these college kids were. The potluck went fine, and I didn’t eat that much. I only had one small piece of German chocolate cake from the dessert table, so that was a win! I’m starting week 5 of my 8-week workout program and plan to push myself by upping my weights when I can. I want every muscle to be crying this week from my efforts. Those pants I want to fit into for the lady's tea will fit! Have a great day!
