Morning gals: I did 25 min Leslie walking for 2 miles...I am drinking my protein shake and ready to get some stuff done today.
@trooworld I just wanted to say that I am so happy to have met you on this site. you are always encouraging and you don't make the world seem like life doesn't happen. LOL
@theslightedgeforever thanks for the twins update. I started to listen, but I can't sit still today, I will finish later today. great job on the loss...

trooworld I don't think I did much to get that big loss. The body kind of did that on its own. I gained every single week in December so maybe it was storing a bit of water each time and decided to let it go when I started eating right again. I was hoping for a lb But was ecstatic when I saw the scale. They have wraps and knee supports at Walmart if you have one close by.
cbabie I usually listen to these videos while I'm up doing something so I'm more productive. Good for you on the LS video.
Daily check in No sticker day. Over by 9 calories then the thinking became why should I beat my steps now. That's not good thinking. I should still beat my steps because it's good for my health.0 -
Hi everyone just a quick note I'm sitting at the d e s office I have to go in and do Reemployment orientation LOL I'm 60 years old anyway I was over 400 calories yesterday but on track today and I'm tracking and instead of eating ice cream last night I had a bowl of Raisin Bran so I felt better about that even though it's food I shouldn't have eaten just because I already has my calories foe the day.0

@trooworld – Can I please have the receipe for the biscuits, they sound interesting. I hope your migraine has lost its hold on you.
@cbabie – My fitbit band is also on edge, I have ordered a cream one. Not sure if it coming with the actual square panel that you put your blaze in. I have looked at the Lesley walking on utube. Yes they have the same thing here in Aussie re getting the introduction back to work if you 55+.
@theslightedgeforever – Love the gif about losing just 1 pound- that translates to nearly half a kilo here – so very doable. Thanks for the weekly meeting; I will listen on the weekend.
I have had a really rough 2 days workwise and resorted to my “comfort eating”. I wonder what I can do to stop that cause when I am in the throes – I simply do not care. Even though I am hurting myself in the long run. But.. I am back now, though still hurting, it is not cutting as deep.

trooworld The twins always say you have to find your sweetspot with your points. So you know you can't eat all WP and FP. That's a start. You'll figure it out. Yaaaay for sticking with pretracked foods.
cbabie Baby steps. Did you tell them you haven't been NOT working that long. It's been less than a year. They probably don't care.
trishastime I want a camel colored Blaze fitbit band. I wish tbey made one a bit more dressy. In the video I posted she said 365 days a year 365 new chances to start again. Or something like that.

Hello ladies!!!
My first week on WW and I lost 4.2 lbs.. ( you have to put that .2 in lol lol). I continue to reach my Fitbit goal. I put my goal at 5,000 steps because I’m starting slow, but everyday I go over, so I might increase it to 7,000 next week.
@cbabie How are you feeling? I hope your headache is gone!! I had such a horrible pain, on my side, close up my ribs, the other day. It was so bad I had a hard time sleeping. It lasted about 3-4 days. It’s gone now. Thank God
@TrishasTime How are you? I hope you’re better today. I know the feeling of eating your feelings ughhh. It’s done.. it’s over.. now you star again. We are not perfect.. we are going to fall sometimes.. but we need to get back up.
@trooworld congrats on the weight loss!! Yayyyyy!!!! Keep it up!! You encourage me!!
@theslightedgeforever Yes she’s 6 already and can be very sassy at times. She thinks she knows it all lol lol!!! I hope you feel better... I haven’t been here in a few days, so I’m trying to catch up
Ok ladies I’ll try to CBL!!have a great day!!0 -
Enjoy your day!!!!0

Hi everyone
Yep the scales reflected the emotional eating and I have set myself back a couple of weeks. You think I would learn - doh.
@trooworld - Well done - would give you a high five for both losing weight and for trying something new
@theslightedgeforever - thankyou for your meeting. I can not seem to find you on utube to follow?
@cbabie - How are you feeling today? Hope you are feeling better
@peruviansweetie - What a terrific loss - I am so pleased for you
It is Saturday here, expected 99 degrees fahrenheit - hoping to stay cool

trooworld Hooray on your loss. Seems like this plan is working for you. Interesting info on Dicks sporting goods. Yaaaay on tbe treadmill. I've been lax about my exercise while fighting this cold. 15 min here and there. Time to get back into it.
cbabie I don't have a cold I was fighting a cold. I won.
peru What a great start. Now keep doing those healthy habits this week.
trishastime don't beat yourself up about the emotional eating. Everything we do on this journey is a learning experience. That moment in life taught you something. What did you learn from it? Oh that wasn't my meeting. I just post it each week. Its from the channel Let's get fit.
daily check in non sticker day. I haven't done very well this week. Onto tomorrow. Always a new chance to do it right0 -
Morning all
Wow lots of good news on here today.
I haven't done my best and I WI tomorrow...not expecting a loss..lol. I did get my sugar and cholesterol tested...all is good..but BP is a little high and BMI shows overweight... so I just keep trucking forward..
@peruviansweetie. Great loss..sounds like the new plan is good for you...keep walking
@TrishasTime you know you got this and you are in control...life happens and we just keep looking to the next goal....I think you are doing great..i was at a conf and one thing stuck with me....you can't change what you don't acknowledge...
@theslightedgeforever I am glad you won .....but u always were competitive...☺
@trooworld Yes that book is quite good...it helped me through a tough time in my life...and yes sometimes I am still there. Lol

Hi everyone
The sun is shining today - I have no idea what the temp will be but I need to go into work anyway and the A/C will not be running. I work for a government department and they do not run the a/c on the weekends.
@theslightedgeforever - I love that phrase that tomorrow is a new day - I always add - and the frst day for the rest of your life. You can not change the past and tomorrow is always a gift.
@trooworld - I love the idea of the app - I find it hard enough to do everything else including writing in my journal. It seems as life gets busy, I forget to find time for me
@cbabie - Best of luck for weigh in tomorrow. It is great that you are doing health checks so you know where you are at
Trish0 -
trooworld That's great about you keeping a gratitude journal. People who do are happier and more fun to be around.
cbabie People always say I'm competitive but I am selective about it. For instance Fitbit. If you noticed I could care less my standing and if step goals were met. Playing games, I'm competitive.
Trishastime Nice quotes you have there too. I feel busy too these days and can't seem to get in all of my things.
Did you exercise? I got in 30 min on treadmill.
Daily check in No sticker Here's to a better week0 -
@theslightedgeforever - Nope - no exercise but felt satisfied. I was actually studying and I fell I achieved something. Competitive - Ihear you. I have a hearts game on the ipad and have names the 3 hands fom my family, so I play against them (in my mind). I turned off the exercise points from the fitbit appearing in my food diary last night, so I am no longer tempted to eat them
@trooworld - Hope your migraine is better. Well done on sharing
.
I was slicing carrotts last, missed the carrott, losts of blood, lost the top of the finger Every time I knock it (and it seems every 2 min) - it starts throbbing again

Trooworld. Yaaaay on splitting fries. I’ve been counting out 10. Then cut those 10 in half so it looks like I have 20 fries. I had a bacon cheeseburger too this weekend I pulled off the crunchy onions and bun and just ate the meat
Trishastime. I used to play hearts like that too. I “played with my three best friends”. lol. I would play a hand and then get up and do something in my house then go back and play one more hand. Hmmmm I might have to see if there’s a Hearts game app for my phone. Ouch on your finger. I hope it’s okay
Daily check in. No sticker but did walk 37 min0 -
Afternoon guys:
Sorry I have had another crazy weekend. I just got home, but it feels good to be out of the house doing something. I am not getting paid for what I am doing, but I am enjoying it. So that is good for my depression. You know one of the things I am facing is that I am under (by 1 lb) my lifetime goal at WW..I remember when I got there I felt so skinny. However, with life happenstances 3 years ago I lost another 30 lbs...now mind you I looked like death warmed over, but I loved the way I felt and how my clothes fit. So I have. been trying to get back there..well what happened to when I felt good at 1 more lb than I am currently at? Well my clothes are the smaller ones...and to be at a healthy weight, I realllyt need to lose 15-20 lbs. So I am working on being glad that I am still under my goal at WW, but know for my health I need to continue working on my habits and the foods I eat. So getting ready to log my food in and see what I have left for the day. I didn’t get to exercise this morning, but have 4400 steps right now...so it’s better than 300..LOL
@TrishasTime Oh no your finger, I hope it’s okay. I hate when I do something like that....someone in my family would say...that’s why I use a food processor..LOL. I say I like to chop... I hope you feel better soon and it stops throbbing. I also took off my exercise off my logging so I won’t eat them.
@trooworld I love that you are enjoying the new WW, I like to see people energized about their life and their goals. It creates an environment for success. Not just for you, but for others around you. Including this board!!
@theslightedgeforever Okay, you are selective about your competitiveness...LOL. In that case, I will get my steps ahead of you again..LOL
Okay guys, I have things I have to do , like log my food and write emails to my teachers at church. Have a great day.
Cbabie0 -
@theslightedgeforever - yah on your walk - which is 37 min longer than min "grin". I normally take the dogs out but we are sufffering the effects from the cyclone here
@cbabie - I remember when I got my lifetime membership at WW - it seems a distance memory now but I am working hard to get back to it. I too felt really good. I have done 5666 steps today
@trooworld - I am sorry to hear that you tripped and then fell. Can you use a stool when doing meal prep? After 9 surgeries on my hip within a year, I relied on my stool and it was a blessing
Well the finger is still throbbing. I redressed it this morning. DH thinks I should go to the DR, but yeah I will see how it looks again in a few days. In the meantime I am keeping it clean and dry

Morning!
I was over 395 calories yesterday...oh well I tracked...I also realized that Raisin Bran has to many carbs for what I get from it.
@trooworld I hope that leg gets to feeling better quickly! Please get it some rest..is it scrapes and bruises? Yes I do need to lose at least 10 lbs. When I created the goal and WW agreed to it, I thought it was a little to much weight on me, but they allowed that to me my goal. I am sure based on my age..LOL
@TrishasTime I have only done 3756 today. That included my walking with Leslie Simmons....It was a little chilly this morning, so I for sure didn’t want to go outside. I agree with Trooworld...please take care of your finger. My husband hates DR and he almost. Cut his little finger off with a chain saw...had my girls call me at. Work...REALLY? Why not call 911...he never went, had them pour some iodine and butterfly bandage it...I would have been take me to urgent care NOW..LOL
okay you all have a great day...I am doing some self reflection...I don’t want to repeat. 2017!!!
Cbabie0 -
@trooworld _ you ca buy some spray plastic skin to stop the rubbing (welly you can here in Aussie). You look after yourself too and try to be strong and not eat your feeling (says someone who did it a few days ago)
@cbabie - I manged 5726 steps, what sort of stop counter do you have? Do you use your phone, fitbit etc? It is nice to tell someone, then you become aware of the need to move
Pick up GD aged 3 from daycare esterday. As soon as she saw me she turned to one of the carers. My husband stepped into view and she did a 360 and literally flew into his arms. He is one of those adults kids adores.
Hope you all have a great day0 -
I'd like to join this thread, I left ww a few months this ago and have regained the 10lbs I lost. I cat afford ww at the moment, so hopefully this can give me the accountability factor
Start weight: 8st 13lbs
Goal weight: 8st 3lbs
Current weight: too scared too look0 -
trooworld Glad your migraine is gone but boo for your leg. Do you need to go to the dr? On those days when we leave you all alone we are giving you space to self-reflect.
Okay weird, I just saw the word palazzo twice on two different sites. I own a black pair but always feel fat when I wear them.
cbabie You can lose this weight. Just like you did the last time I checked you are ahead of me again. Doesn't take much these days.
trishastime Are you at the same username on fitbit? Then you can beat cbabie
So what are the effects of a cyclone. Although I'm sitting here wondering is a cyclone like a big tornado?
@hayleyb25 Welcome to our group. From your weight I see you are across the pond. I had an English friend once who taught me all about stones. Go look. It's just a number and starting place. You are more than that number on the scale. We can't change what we don't acknowledge. I'm in a stuck place it seems. Trying to get out of it. Are you following the new freestyle program?
I have been cleaning out storage closets for two days. When the declutter bug hits, I have to go with it. I hurt my back today from moving and lifting boxes. No exercise for me. Well other than all the lifting and moving I was doing.

I gained 2.7 this week

Morning everyone
I had to look up what palazzo pants where, so you can I assume I have none. A cyclone is similar to a tornado, except it starts at see and as it gets stronger, it brings heavy deluge of rain as well as really strong winds. We get a lot in the North West Area of Australia.
@trooworld - Glad your work is more understanding now. Sorry about the gain,, but yes I agree it is probably the swelling.
@theslightedgeforever - take care of your back - one of the things that can take ages to repair. It is funny all you want to do is lay still but they say that is the worse thing for you
@hayleyb25 - Welcome - I only joined this group a few weeks ago. We talk in kgs here
Today is Friday -yah!!!0 -
Morning!
Sorry guys, the last two days got away from me...I didn't track yesterday and it was not good, I felt terrible...but today I think I have found my favorite Leslie Sansone's video. It's tied to the American Heart Assoc. I am sweating and that is a good thing...out of breath...also another good thing.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=DYuw4f1c4xs&t=392s
@trooworld I am so sorry about your leg, but I am so glad you went to the DR....I had a mother of one of the girls in my MK group get the flu and she was gone in about a week...please keep watch on yourself.
Gals..I don't believe in scare tactics, but I believe in we should know our bodies, be aware and if anything seems not quite right, please have it checked out..I am probably one of the most stubborn people about going to the Dr....so I am talking to myself as well.
@TrishasTime I laughed when I read about your granddaughter...LOL my husband really didn't want kids...but boy when the grand kids came along...he was the biggest kid and they always run to POP.... My oldest is 23 and he still loves his POP...
@hayleyb25 Welcome, Sorry I wasn't on the board to welcome you your first day here...but we have a great group here. I hope you find this to be a place of fun, encouraging, accountability and even a place to vent from time to time..LOL
@theslightedgeforever I hope you feel better...please take care of the back...I don't want to see you walk like my grandma...LOL

Morning everyone - another hot day here today. I got a phone call to take my GDF (3) to her very first birthday party. It is at a farm for cuddly animalsand lasts for 3 hours. Luckily for me the other Nanna is going so I can do a drop off and pick up cause I have to go to a dress fitting with the GD (16) that lives with me for her seniors ball in the middle of the 3 hours. I am sure, I will get to shopping, washing, ironing, cooking etc as well. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

@trooworld - great news about it not being blood clot
Hi everyone - another hot day here in Aussie. I need to go out shopping to get a pair of sports shors for GD (16) and I hope to spend some time in the garden before the heat makes itself noticeable.
Hope you are all enjoying yourself0 -
Afternoon all, thanks for the welcome! I haven't been tracking properly this week and not expecting much loss for my first weigh in tomorrow. I have decided to try and stop focusing on the endgame and set smaller, more achievable, weekly goals. First three small steps: no milk in coffee, extra ten mins per dog walk, complete my aerobics dvd twice.
Start: 8st 13lbs (56.7kg)
Goal: 8st 3lbs (52kg)
Current: 1st weigh in 22.1.180 -
@trooworld unfortunately it's only about 5°C/40°F here in Liverpool, UK and constantly windy/raining0
-
Hi everyone
Todays weather forecast here in Perth Aussie is expected to 90 degrees. Off to the office today and will get a 15 min walk in at lunch. Going to a women's gym after work. I have not been there for 8 weeks due to feet issues - but is time to get on with it.
@trooworld - Every time I have a good week, regardless what the scales say a loss or not - I buy myself a bunch of flowers. To remind myself I am work it. A good week to me is that I have stuck to the plan eating and exercise.
@hayleyb25 - Great thing to focus on achievable small goals - otherwise it does become over whelming. Nice to have you on boad
Well off to work I go - catch you1
