GM~
- Finished OP yesterday. After a week, I've been able to slide back into the WW routine.
- Thanks, Steph! I'll play with it in a few to see if I can get that set right.
- Headed to VA tomorrow for appt to determine if implant to prevent sleep apnea is viable option.
Cheers,

Mornin' BBB
The parent club field trial this week will celebrate the 100 year anniversary of Field trialing in the US.
It is a really big deal and I entered both girls in the open all age part. It is a three day event, Thursday through Saturday. Thankfully, it is only a 4 1/2 hr drive, so I can work most of the day on Wednesday before hitting the road Wednesday afternoon.
Looks like the young lady vet is going to sign up for full time. She and I did some surgery together yesterday and shared a couple of cases. She will be a good fit.
(Big sigh of relief)
Now you are back on WW, Skip, invest in the poultry industry.
BBB OP ;-)

Good morning.
A technical thing, Skip, but why wouldn't you have your WW tracking week end Thursday if you weigh Friday morning?
Go get 'em Lee! And a huge relief that it seems like the new vet is a good fit!
Here's the article I mentioned.

Good morning BBB friends.
I'm back on WW, too, but only for online. The important thing for me is tracking. The meetings never did much for me. My weigh-ins are every time I take a shower.
Going to be a nice fall day today. Rita has me picking up a pickup full of large arborvitae to plant along the neighbor's rotting fence. She'll do the digging; I'll do the heavy lifting. Lots of time in the shop where I can quickly respond to the boss's calls for assistance.0 -
SGM ~ I never got much from the meetings - surprise, surprise! In three different cities now, these meetings are as unique as a photocopy. It seems that the ladies are not too thrilled about a guy invading their territory, especially as they delicately sip their mochaccino frappe caramel lattes with foam.
I do like the cadence and discipline from a formal weigh in and simply go for that reason and depart!0 -
Good morning BBB Friends.
- Early Emmaus reunion group which I enjoy other than the early hour.
- Yay for the new Vet.
- English is an interesting language. Skip is a veteran and Lee is a veterinarian. Because of his length of service is Lee a veteran veterinarian?
- WW meetings and WIs motivate me to do the right thing all week. I wish I had one close.
- Meeting with the finance guy this afternoon and church dinner tonight.

Morning gang.
My only access to a scale is at the gym. My official WI will be Thursdays, for no other reason than that is when I joined, but yesterday I was down#5 for my first 10 days OP. I'm happy with that. In the past I tend to have consistent #1 every week for 4 or 5 then #2 up. I was a very slow loser, but I eat a much cleaner diet now with very little processed food so maybe it will be a little different.
We are off for a hike ride soon then need to wash the car and maybe do a little packing. We get keys to the new place at 11 and technically suppose to be put of old place at 11 too so it will be a quick changeover.0 -
Good Morning,
Congrats on finding new vet, know girls will do great this weekend.
I guess I need to look at tracking on WW app; did not like it last time I tried.
Direct TV down, wants me to pay $99 for one time visit them to fix or service contract $9.99 month.
Looking at HVAC system that was pulled out good thing we decided to invest in new system, evaporator core frame completely rusted out and values rusted.
Doctor appointment tomorrow for shoulder, I had called and PT had sent messages.
Pablo at Doggie Daycare since he would not understand folks going in and out of house. His friend Sam came looking for him, Sam is a 140 lb. 2 yo golden doodle that was not supposed to weight more than 40 lbs. he is visiting today and tomorrow. Pablo is 14 months old and weighs 24 lbs.0 -
Dr Dinwiddie served in the National Guard...no deployment, but I served. So does that make me a veteran Veterinary veteran?2

“I do like the cadence and discipline from a formal weigh in and simply go for that reason and depart!“. Same here. I do weigh myself every morning and write it down. I also write down what I ate the day before. But, I need to lose 10#. So, I’ve cut the liquor nearly out. Empty calories.
Gorgeous day on Indiana.
Good luck this weekend on the field trial Lee
Slow and steady wins the race Steph!

Hi BBB
Made it through the long early voting line here and got my sticker. Now stop calling, texting and putting junk in my mailbox, now. TY
❤️🤍💙
I weigh in during a virtual zoom appt with my fat doctor once a month in order to get a refill of Rx for the next 4 weeks. I hold the phone camera up to scale .... I Only can get 4 wks Rx at a time. Face to scale appt in office every 10 weeks. With blood work etc. I do weigh in daily first thing in morning at home. For my own info. If I'm not losing weight weekly I won't get the next refill. They say I'm at top end of % loss expectations and doing great with loss so far. With No side effects.
I track on free MFP most days and use the diary to log weigh ins.
Met the speciality dietian at the speciality hospital clinic, in person yesterday . Like they said... given all my ww memberships, and history, I know what I need to be eating and I passed their quiz. Low fat protiens, fresh fruit and veggies, whole grains, higher protien dairy, minimal processed foods and only on occassion. They want me to take in a " min." of
60grams of protien a day and 1300 to 1400 calories a day. Lots of water. And mostly whole foods, of course. Did you know sourdough bread is better overall for you than processed light bread? Its has only 3 ingredients in it. Also no alcohol with the Rx. And stay away from sugary and even diet sodas and juices etc. completely, no high fat and no greasy foods... as it will all make me sick on this Rx. They gave me some good protein tips too.
Today's dinner is low sodium homemade vegtable chicken soup.
Glad you got a doc in there to work. , Lee!
Happy moving day Steph!
Congrats to you losers!
