Starsonlyone, so sorry about your experience at the hospital. I'm glad that you did file a complaint; hopefully that will lead to a better experience for the next person.

And congratulations on 14 pounds lost! I can't tell if you are disappointed or happy with that, but it sounds good to me.

@starsonlyone I'm sorry about your experience. That never should have happened.

@bhagarmckee I'm glad you are feeling better.

I'm finally feeling better and back on the healthier eating wagon, though I have to fly home for a funeral this week, so I don't know if it will last. I also made it to the gym both Friday and today.

On a side note, I had a funny yet disappointing experience yesterday while buying my first suit and tie. The cashier saw what I was buying and then pointed out to the lady next to her "Look at the nice clothes this young man is buying" and then after seeing the name on my credit card added "Wait, this isn't your mom's card, is it?". I guess I'm glad that I passed, but at the same time it was annoying to have to explain.

Last thing I remember
I told the bartender mix rum and whatever you have
First one drink, then two then I woke up with you so I know things can't be all that bad
But it's still a little hazy, it got a little crazy last night

Gym is gonna b a rough one today....

Sorry for the bad day! You're right, you should never have had to deal with that. As to my "check in," I found out the other day that my A1C (sugar) is 6.6. The report says that is "consistent with diabetes," although my doctor says I'm still considered "pre-diabetic" and I just need to lose weight (duh). This might be the kind of news I need to stay within my calories for the day and get moving.

Went over my calories again today. NEed to walk atleast 20 mins to work it off.

Hey everyone... I'm new to this. I haven't worked out in three weeks and lack all motivation to go due to working two jobs that has me tired. Maybe tomorrow I'll go to the gym even if it's just 30 minutes.

Hey everyone, had a nice few days in the sun and resisted the free pizza that was being given out at uni. I've been hovering ±200 around my calorie goal all week, I should probably start being stricter with myself and plan ahead.

A friend of mine is paying for so-called "laser lipo" treatment over the next few weeks. It's not as drastic as actual liposuction - minimally invasive and mostly used to get rid of 'problem areas' -but I'm not entirely convinced it's a good idea. Still, if it works for him I'll probably be hugely tempted to get it done as well!

Hi, all! So so day here. Hugs all around!

Hi back

God...this days seems to be grey and rainy...last days were all super sunny (and I needed to get work done) and today, when I could finally go out it starts to rain -.-

Does anyone have a Garmin Connect account?

It's been over two weeks since I had started this journey. I lost 14 pounds the first week. I kinda wish I had some kinda of scale to weigh myself again but gonna keep trekking on. Kinda scared meeting new people today for a d&d group and they said they are making dinner I am kinda afraid to offend them. I ended up making chocolate cupcakes toake sure I contributed. They are soooooooooo tempting but I am more scared of the dinner then anything elae

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend All new friends welcome Add me

Excellent, bhagarmckee! I hope your back pull is better soon.
Hi there, cincisk8r!
Good day here. We picked up the yard after a horrific storm blew through. We caught a bit of a small tornado...it sucked everything out of the barn and patio in seconds! When "they" say tornados sound like a train, "they" are correct! We could be found in the pantry with four dogs...a VERY SMALL pantry (with no chocolate to be found...who's been shopping at our house?)!!!

Have a happy Sunday!

TORNADO!?!?!?!?!?!?! yikes. I second the "I'm glad you're okay sappho123" motion... and love your sense of humor. Personally, in that situation, I would be more concerned about the location of clean underwear...

'Nother long walk for me today. Destination: the sporting goods store near the mall to replace my worn out walking shoes. Stopped for lunch, and then closer to home stopped for a donut as my one naughty food for this week. About 11 and a half miles round trip.

@starsonlyone I hope your dinner went well.

@sappho123 that tornado sounds terrifying, small or not. I'm glad you're all right and second the underwear comment.

@bhagarmckee congratulations on the long walk.

I've had a stressful few days, but I've tried not to let myself go too much, which seems to have paid off because when I weighed myself yesterday I was the lightest I've been since I moved to Spokane (still heavier than when I started using mfp way back when, though...).

Today I kind of let myself eat whatever I want, but I don't feel too bad about it because I had to work in the field today and spent all day hauling equipment around, which I know my vivosmart can't track accurately.

Oh yeah, schneizilla, I have a Garmin connect account, but I don't really use it other than to sync with mfp (when they are playing nicely)

Yeah!! I finally lost some weight. Lost 2 lbs this week. Have been trying to make swaps and little changes and it's finally paying off.
