    Hello Losers,

    Our dinner last night was good but too high in calories. We all shared a cheese plate with bread. I ordered the vegetable
    rosiutto and there was so much of it. I passed on dessert and coffee but did have some red wine.
    Of course the scale was up so probably restaurant sodium.

    Today I had Yoga class and did some cleaning upstairs.

    Have not seen War Room or not been to the movies lately. Probably in the Fall and winter I may catch a few.

    its been years since I have been to a Movie. Seems all Jerry and I do is go grocer sopping and doctor appointment
    I can't remember the last movie. we took my grandson to see fourth of July and he is 27 years now. At the time he was about 7. We took the granddaughters to see ET before that.

    hi everyone,

    I feel like I have been spotty!! the beginning of the year is so nutty, so much going on! I am trying to get myself back into a good routine. I am up about 2lbs but not really sure from what? maybe stress. I am going to try and get it back together as I still have more weight I would like to lose.

    marie, did you try the noodles?

    connie, how is the reset? sounds like it is going well.

    Shirley, you can try and get back in a routine with me!

    Nancy, enjoy the movies!! I love going to see a movie, it is a great, cheap escape!!

    everyone else, happy Friday and have a great weekend!

    Hi guys. Sorry I've been really quiet. I have been reading posts but I have been getting progressively sicker the last few weeks. Yesterday and today it just hit me really hard. I finally broke down and went to the doc today. They are not sure if it is walking pneumonia or just a respiratory infection. But she gave me Zithromax. I ended up taking a 2 1-2 hour nap today and I still feel like I have been awake for 3 days nonstop. I feel like a total slug today. I am so ready to feel better. Yesterday I was tired too but not this tired. And Wednesday I was energetic. This tiredness just hit me like a freight train fully loaded barreling down grade ............ Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. I sure hope so.

    hi there,

    ester please rest and take care of yourself!! so much with the kids, it is often difficult to take care of yourself. make sure you rest and sleep enough! hopefully you can use the weekend to regroup.

    nancy, not sure what new exercise Barbie is referring to but would love to hear about it.

    connie, what is doing with the house? hope that is moving along.

    I feel a little better today because scale is going back down. it is crazy how that little appliance can control my moods. I think I need to keep switching up some meals every now and then. think I become mentally and physically bored. also, with kids home, it is easy to get sticky fingers while preparing meals, snacks or making lunches. need to be cognizant of that. I really would like to make some progress:) I think it is helpful to switch up my afternoon snack as that becomes my witching hour. stress kicks in with driving, homework, and whatever social drama may be going on. I had something new yesterday which was so good! I had a palin greek yogurt mixed with sf maple syrup, truvia, 1 tbsp. pb, and 5g of sf choc chips. tasted kind of like cookie dough.

    anyway, hope everyone has a great Saturday. it is raining very hard here:(

    Good Morning Misfits,

    -Connie, War Room was awesome. Hope you get a chance to see it.

    My new exercise is really simple. It's called burst training, you do your exercise (for me it's the bike) for 40 seconds
    as fast or as hard as you can, then rest for 20 seconds and repeat for 20 minutes. It's intense. You can do different
    exercises.

    Have a good Saturday.

    Hi everyone, I am doing fine, was busy yesterday with my sister Donna, she invited me up to swim, but water was cold, so we ran around and went to visit another sister and then went out to eat at a greek food restaurant, I had never went to one and she loves it there. It was pretty good, I liked her food, beef schwarma with hummus and mine was rice with roasted cauliflower, and potatoes with some ground beef meatballs and some tahinni sauce. We got pita pockets with it and I had a side of hummus, ihstead of greek feta salad. I did not like it and they brought me the hummus instead. Also some hot tea with cinnamon and cardamom,plus I took a bite of backlava,it was wonderful. I got full fast and told her take take my food home, we were already sharing. It was a nice experience. It sounds like I had alot, but I really didnt, she ate more than me and shes another one thats small, she's 122 pounds. My oldest sister is 135lbs. The sick one is app. 102lbs. Anyway you get the picture when I got heavy in late 97, at almost 38yrs old, and stayed that way, they hated it,and so did I. I was always alittle taller and bigger, around 140, but nothing like being in the 200's, except pregnancy and I lost it. Donna made the comment yesterday, my backside was little and I was looking like the old me. I told her not yet, but it was good hearing. They are all older than me and were really worried about my health, they knew not to get on me about it. I hope everyone is having a good start to the weekend. Janice

    Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Sunday!

    Marie..I love your roll call. I guess many misfits are just busy with life and are pressed for time.

    We were told by our agent that it takes about two months to get all the paperwork, permits, and architectural approvals completed. We anticipate the land being cleared by mid-September. I'm thinking it will be ready by January/February. My hubs is very impatient and jokes about being alive to see it..he's 68. I try to explain that this is a long process..his impatience is making me crazy. ;) I'm trying to get through this without turning to food to relieve my stress!

    Make it a great day, losers!
    Stay strong!

    Good Morning Misfits,

    -Marie, Hope you get a good report from your heart doctor.

    -Connie, Way to go!!! So happy for you and you surely deserve seeing the scales going down.

    I am staying the same which is 3lbs above my lowest weight. I gained 3 lbs when I increased
    my calories and have not been able to lose those pounds. Go figure!!! If my increased exercise
    doesn't change things I have no idea what to do???

    Have a good Monday.

    I'm 194.6 about the same.

    My friend, who was in the coma passed away, she was actually only 53 and yes, it's incredibly sad. My calories were over this weekend because I made her homemade biscuit recipe and had alcohol as part of her goodbye wake, but I'm on track again this morning.

    I'm reminded yet again that having the opportunity to participate in life is a real gift and not to squander it.

    Eninad-I'm so sorry about your friends passing, life is so precious, we need to remember to cherish our loved ones, each day could be someones last. Not trying to be a downer, but recently another person I know passed and that makes 4 recently and oddly enough 2 of them were 53, not including you, what a weird coinincidence. Glad your back on track. Janice

    Good morning!! I have been so forgetful lately...I've been meaning to login to this app and see how everyone's doing but something always comes up. Guess I need to incorporate some sort of daily routine.

    I'm doing great just a little upset about gaining 10 lbs since the beginning of July but this morning the scale was moving back in the right direction! I have been traveling a lot and got sick but I'm determined to get back on track!

    hi there,

    hope everyone is well!! I have owned my 2lbish gain in hopes that things will start moving in the right direction. I really have been eating pretty well this week. I need to get it back on track!! I have 2 1/2 weeks to get back down to 146. my small goal was to be there by my 46th bday which is September 19th.

    hope everyone is well!! very busy week for me with cookies. am doing a wedding and 2 other parties!

    have a great day!!

    Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Tuesday!

    Good to see you who have been MIA!

    Marie..hope you got good news from the doc.

    Eninad..condolences to you on the passing of your friend. Yet another reminder to thank God for every morning for the new day.

    Steph, Cristina..you can get back on track..we can do this!

    Janice, Nancy...have a good one today.

    Not too much going on with me. I tried to go for another walk outside after I walked the dog but did not last long..too much sun and humidity even though it was early. Fall is not here yet. So I went to the store instead and am back to do much needed housework.

    Make it a great day, losers!
    We are all facing tough challenges and only one of them is losing weight.

    I did see the doctor yesterday and o back in next Tues for 3 more test. So maybe he have some answer for m then
    he will be given me a chemical stress test.. scan my stints to see if they are Ok and another test. I did get my old doctor back the one that did my stints 5 years ago. I sure hope he don't have to redo them. As far as my leaky legs he said he could send me to a skin doctor and he could drain all the water out of my legs But that it may show up again. They are not leaking now so think I will by passed that.
    I do go see my primary Daocter this afternoon and we are off to walmart in a few minutes.
    Be back later

    Hello Losers,

    I had 20 posts to read, I guess I have been behind. It should get better after my last sailing cruise which will be starting
    tomorrow until Monday. After that we will do just day trips of sailing from our club. It has been a long summer.

    We had a wedding this past weekend in Geneva, NY along the Geneva Lake. It was at a winery and the venue was beautiful.
    We got to see some old friends too. The bride was beautiful and we just met the groom that night.
    I have a picture to share.

    Today I got my bike ride in before it got too hot. All week it will be in the high 80's with humidity. I have to pack for the week.
    The week of September 7th I will back and motivated to start seeing the evil scale go down. We have a week booked
    in the Bahamas in February. That will be my goal to look decent in my bathing suit.

    Tonight we will be getting some groceries to take with us and visit my cousin who is 60 and battling cancer. He is not doing
    very well.

    I will be checking in on the Newsfeed with exercise. Shirley

    Shirley-Great pic, what a summer you have had, it sounds like it was a good time. Going to the Bahamas definitely is a good motivator to lose and several months to do it.

    Marie-I hope between your doctors, they help you with your health problems, you are such a trooper and such an inspiration at your age to never give up on your goal.

    Connie-Its warmed up here again also, and finally I got in my little pool again last night, my husband said it was still to cold for him, we are suppose to have a beautiful but hot week, which will be good for Labor Day weekend. It had been 2 weeks since we had gotten in it. I was glad to see you are down and that the break helped you. You have been such a big exerciser and I hope you get the results you deserve.

    Stephanie-Sorry about your 2lb gain, atleast your still in the 140's, and you have really done great, over the past several months at losing and exercising, you reach your goal by your birthday, probably even more, you got this.

    Christina-I hate to hear you gained 10lbs lately, but it sounds like you are already back to business, it happens so easy, if we go back to our normal ways. That has happened to me previously, several times and some of them were more like 20lb gains. Hopefully with summer ending, you can ease up on traveling and get back to your routine, good luck and glad to hear from you.

    I hope everyone stays cool, since the weather has gotten so hot. Have a good day! Janice

    Thank you Connie, we never know the measure of our days. <3

    Thank you Janice, whether it's a surprise, or known, it's really not easy. <3

    Shirley you look lovely and Lake Geneva is so pretty. I've never been to the Bahamas, but everyone I know that has has loved it.

    Marie, you're a fighter and will tackle anything tossed your way and I am confident, win against it.

    Hey Stephanie you're a year behind me, but pounds closer than I am. Happy birthday month. I will try to join you at 140 by my next year birthday. (this year's November I'm trying for 180-185)

    Christina, we'll just keep plugging along, with renewed focus and priorities we've got this.

    I'm looking forward to cool weather soon, so I can re-add activities outside. That should jump start the losing again and off set my sluggish habits.

    hi all,

    hope everyone is in a positive place this morning!! I met with the nutritionist woman yesterday and I was down on her scale so go figure.....weird! she suggested that I cut out a carb and go from 3 to 4 servings of fats a day. also, tried to clean up the diet a bit. no processed foods which I eat so little of anyway. going to get my hair colored this morning, I have about fifty shades of gray, lol!! hope everyone has a great day!

    Good morning, losers! Happy Wednesday!

    I second Steph's hope that everyone is in a positive place this morning! <3

    Steph..what are your macros set to? What does she suggest you change them to?

    I just got back from the gym after having a great workout with my trainer then a 30 minute walk! Will head out soon for a mani/pedi. It's another hot and humid day today, but I won't complain because I've been blessed with another day. Still, though, I will say I am ready for fall.

    Make it a great day, losers!
    Stay strong!

    Wow!!! We got almost an inch of rain late yesterday afternoon. Was so refreshing. First significant rain since July 4th.
    Hope everyone will have a good day.
