    Hey Sue, congrats on the new bear, I just love them. I have to say that I was on a roll and getting one each month, but this month with trips I haven't lost anything. The good thing is with the first trip I gained then lost what I gained and this trip I stayed steady with no gain, no loss. Therefore:

    W/I 208 no gain/no loss.

    Good news is I dropped my A1C from Jan 2015 it was 6.1 to last week being 5.5. It hasn't been that low since I was logged as diabetic. I can't wait to go into the appointment this time to see his reaction.

    I use NuMi to log my weight just for the bears, Roger, and have no problem getting them.

    I don't/didn't use NS after they closed the Boards.

    Weigh in 192.0 lbs.
    Change - 1.0 lbs.


    Roger, I just went to NuMi and registered it and they said it was processed....I think my problem was simply that it was a bit too late as my box was already processing. I don't like NuMi and don't go on there other than registering my weight so they got that part.

    I use solely MFP and Fitbit.

    Hope this helps :)

    Hi everyone!

    7/11 & 7/12 = Not 100%
    WI = 242


    Okay, so the last couple of days have not been good for me. Today was much better, but need to get through this evening before I can call it 100%. Recorded my weight gain of 6 lbs for the week; some of it I deserve and some of it is related to the scale adjustment. Moving on...

    I did successfully buy a new bed yesterday. After church I told myself, I'm going to Macy's and I'm not leaving until I have a bed ordered. Been looking for awhile and had an idea what I wanted in brand and type, but wasn't sure which hybrid. Lots of laying around on mattresses (again) and playing with adjustable bases. The one adjustable base had so many features (i.e., zero gravity, speakers & a light underneath). I asked the bed guy when does it "lift off"? :wink: Also ordered a new bed in addition to the mattress/base, so should be set for awhile. : - ) All in an effort to sleep better at night. It's been really tough the last few months and it is soooo not like me.

    111 heat index today!!! Summer has officially arrived!!!

    Gotta go for now... Headed to Jazzercise...

    Here's to a great week for everyone!

    Hi All
    I got out a little earlier than usual today. I walked 2.8 Miles today, Took a New route and despite it being moderately cool I was sweating due to humidity once the sun broke through the clouds. Onwards and downwards.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi Ginny
    That would be me forgetting to change the month when I pasted it in from my text file. I adjusted that right now so it does not happen again :)

    Thank You for the kind words and the heads up on the date

    Hi D
    What with all the gadding about You did good keeping the same weight.

    In some ways despite it not showing externally the drop in A1C is a biggie. With the side effects that diabetes can cause this is a very big positive.

    Keep up the Good Work

    Hi Flo
    Thank You for the feedback :)

    I used the NS website to log until that went away, Even then When You could not get to it from the Main Page You could for a few more days from the forums. In Fact this is working for me today, Just curious if it is working for others. http://members.nutrisystem.com/Members/Templates/LogWeight.aspx

    Hi Sue
    I will be interested in hearing if the Bear comes. The email says:
    You’re doing great, and your hard work is starting to add up!

    Log in to your Nutrisystem account to claim your Nutribear, a reminder of your motivation and determination as you get closer to your goal.

    Sincerely,
    Your NuMi Team


    Then I log in and see no place to claim the bear, another great job by NS.

    Thank You

    Hi Mary
    I thought we had heat until I saw Your Heat Index, Wow!

    A bad nights sleep can impede weight loss as I see it. Not enough rest equals less energy.

    Good Luck with the New Bed and Matress

    Roger, I did not log anything on the NS website itself to claim my bear last time (before yes, I did because I was able to but they stopped that sigh). I went to NuMi and added my weight and when it said that I earned another bear it pretty much rerouted me back to the weigh in page so I logged my weight I just logged again and that was it lol...kinda a goofy to do so but the bear comes around. I just logged onto NS and it routes you straight to NuMi to claim your bear. I think they turned everything off. In my opinion NS did a horrible job with NuMi and the shutdown on the NS website.

    A new bed sounds nice, Mary. What kind do you finally decided to get? I hope this helps you get a good night's sleep all the time.

    Hot here, too. Triple digits and then the heat index is unbelievable.

    Yeah, I read read read for days on end after the Boards were closed to new posts. I gleaned lots of info, recipes, etc. But, when I got all that I thought I wanted, I never returned to the Boards to check out anything especially since they said they were doing away (June 22) with the Tickers, ability to log foods, weight loss, etc. I just don't go there at all anymore. I think the last time I logged a weight on NS was mid-June.

    (I did click the link http://members.nutrisystem.com/Members/Templates/LogWeight.aspx just now and was able to pull up my stats so looks like the ability to log all of our info is still available. I just won't use it.)

    I log weight once a week on NuMi strictly for the Bears and use MFP exclusively for everything else (and, log weight here, too).

    About the Bears ... that's what my email reads, too, Roger. When I log my weight with NuMi, I get the email and click that link. I log in and see this page:

    rntbtls873w4.gif


    But, I never know if they receive my confirmation or not and they do not f/u with an email stating they will send the Bear, etc. I did contact them once when I earned a past Bear and they said it arrives in the next shipment and there is not another confirmation once we click to claim.

    Flo - I purchased the Serta Island Retreat Firm with an adjustable foundation. I didn't get the fully loaded adjustable bed; just the foundation that looks like a box spring, but the head lifts up with an attached remote. Need it for better back support when reading in bed and also to help with acid reflux. And because you can't easily put a bed skirt on an adjustable base, I ordered a new fabric bed (headboard, footboard, side rails ). That's an upgrade for me; currently just have a bed frame. The base would have been showing with just the comforter and no bed skirt, and that would have bugged me. The bed is a green color and hopefully, the fabric color is just how the picture showed online. You know how that can go... : - )

    Thanks, Flo & Ginny! I sure hope so... With Fitbit, I used to be 7 to 8 hours of sleep at 95%... I'm now 3 to 4 hours at about 60%... Some of it is hormone related, but had my mattress for 16 years, so thinking it is probably a contributing factor... : - )

    7/15 - Not 100%

    Yes, it's true, I was way overdue for a new mattress. Frankly, it still is not uncomfortable, in my opinion. Took me awhile to decide whether I wanted to go to a sleep number bed or memory foam or stay with traditional coil, and then the whole adjustable base factor. Couldn't get comfortable with spending that kind of $$ on essentially an "air" mattress and then all the bells & whistles of an adjustable base didn't make sense to me either. Settled on a hybrid of coil and memory foam and the low end of an adjustable base. Anyway, mattress & foundation are scheduled for delivery next Thursday. The new bed won't be h]ere until September, so will have to live without bed skirt for a couple of months.

    My Muny season tickets are almost halfway over; can't believe how quickly the summer is going The show last night was "Buddy: the Buddy Holly Story" and the music was fantastic. It was hard to beat "Holiday Inn" last week though. That one has got to be my all time favorite in the 9 years I've had season tickets. We'll see how "Into the Woods" is next week. Tend to like the old show style better, but have been pleasantly surprised before.

    I have got to get green here for the rest of the week!!!

    Hi All
    It was a beautiful morning today, Humidity in the Comfortable range, maybe 48% and 66 degrees. You can be sure I walked today, Heck, I almost sweated too. Then I came home, Ate the 2nd half of My Morning Banana, Mowed the Lawn and then had Breakfast. 2.75 Miles + whatever exercise the mowing provided.

    Then as I was in the basement pulling frozen from the freezer to bring up to the kitchen for the rest of today and the next four days menus I heard someone knocking on the front Door. I had forgotten it was meter reading day. I now have today's and the next four days menus created. Tomorrow I will have to tackle changing the Fill assembly for one of the toilets. Oh Well :)

    Have a Great Day

    Hi Ginny
    If You have to be not 100% that is the one to be. Have You ever heard of this one?
    Zig-Zag Calorie Intake
    Zig-zagging, or calorie cycling is the process of varying daily calorie intake, while maintaining the same weekly intake.

    Instead of consuming (for example) precisely 1800 calories each day – you can mix it up.

    Eat 1500 calories one day, and 2100 calories the next. This can be as simple as halving then doubling a portion size, or adding a post-workout shake into the plan.

    Here’s something a little more technical, from the Zig-zag calculator.

    If your daily calories for fat loss is 1860, a weekly zig-zag would look like this:
    Daily Calories
    Monday 1861
    Tuesday 1489
    Wednesday 2233
    Thursday 1861
    Friday 1675
    Saturday 2047
    Sunday 1861


    That is why I would not beat Yourself up. I should mention that I have not tried this to any large calorie swings, only small ones.

    Good Luck
