Trooworld. What was your graduation for? Congrats. Oh good news on the relative. Nice step count
Cbabie. I’m above you on Fitbit right now. Wait a couple of weeks.
Trishastime. Lollie=frozen thing on a stick?
I’m currently in Rhode Island. Yesterday was Philly. Seeing and learning more history and I ran up the Rocky steps. Didn’t stop and my thighs were burning about 3/4 way. I had to sing the song to myself to keep going though. Lol. Tomorrow onto Salem Massachusetts to see that part of history
Tracked my food today0 -

Afternoon! Sorry, my Monday mornings are usually busy and I forget to get on here. I have gained 2 lbs, and feel so icky...but I know I put it on slow, it will come off slow and I have to keep trying. Never give up.
My DH is asleep on the couch. I wish we could retire him. He is always so tired anymore. Concerns me.
@TrishasTime Thanks for the encouragement. Great job on packing your lunch. I always did better when I made my lunch. It was usually a really GOOD salad..people would often want some. I haven't made those really since I was let go,
@trooworld Congratulations on getting your diploma. I am so happy for you!!! I know you have been wanting to get that and it's always a sense of accomplishment to check something off our list. Maybe that's what got you organized...LOL...you have a sense of order in your life..Chaos always makes me eat...
@theslightedgeforever LOL Rocky....I loved those movies...Great job

Trooworld Gemologist sounds interesting. Plus getting to work with all those stones. You go girl on your organization. I always do better on my health journey when I’m organized. Supposedly there are 72 Rocky steps I was told We are on a historical roadtrip sort of. We just left Salem MA and saw all the history there. We are now heading back down and going to stop in NY for about 4 hrs. One day I hope to do this on this on the West coast So many places I’ve wanted to see Finally made it to the east coast.
Cbabie. Just keep working at it and those two lbs will come off. Go make a salad.
I’ve tracked last two days. I’m trying to keep that part going. Steps were good yesterday. Today probably not. I’ll be doing a lot of sitting in the car

Morning all! I thought I got on here yesterday. sorry..I had a horrible headache. It was windy and cold here..lots of crud in the air. I tracked everything yesterday, but didn't go to the gym. However, I did go for a walk..had to walk off some energy.
@TrishasTime DH could retire now, but wants to get the most for his bang and it will most likely be another 3 years.
@trooworld I bet you have fun in your job...I know there is stress or drama, but you enjoy your interest!!. I am happy to hear you tried the ellipitcal. I hate that machine and it hates me...LOL
@theslightedgeforever maybe next week a salad...not this week.
Cbabie0 -
Trishastime. I doubt I will be losing heaps as almost every meal is out. But I’m hoping the gain is not too much.
Trooworld. The elliptical is hard for me 5 min seems like forever. I’m much better on a treadmill
Cbabie. I was having that same thought about salads this week. This next week I won’t be moving as much so I will need to eat some salads. Being in a new hotel every night has taken its toll.
I did well with my steps yesterday despite riding in a car for 8 hrs0 -
Morning to all!
I went to the gym this morning and worked out with the trainer...he worked my shoulders and core/rear area. Wow I was struggling..I used to be able to do what he had me do with no issues. He is trying to strengthen my shoulder so I won't keep having issues. Came home feeling it..LOL I will say I have had no PB for 2 days..I feel like it's my one thing that will create in me the bad go to when things fall apart..or I am in a rush...so I am trying to nix it for now until I am in a better place and can handle a small amount and not eat the whole jar.
@theslightedgeforever I think you are doing great!! Regardless of the outcome, you have put this in the forefront of your decisions...
@trooworld Sorry for the loss, but it's most likely will be gone soon as you are tracking and know what caused it. You did what you had to do and that is called life and we all have one..LOL
Cbabie0 -
Morning all
Well I lost it yesterday...I was watching a TV show with my DH and it totally stressed me out...so yes I got into the ice cream PB and cookies....I woke up so mad at myself...and then I could hear myself say...I will not walk in self pity..nor gossip will I eat...so new day and yes I know what derailed me. I did not have anything good to eat for my dinner...I made wings and pizza for my family and had no meat or veggies for me to eat...
@trooworld Thank you for the encouragement...even though I blew it...LOL yes I used to only eat PB2, then someone told me it caused liver damage..so I quit eating it..I have to do research on that because I know I CRAVE PB...since I can remember I have always eaten PB. I hope you enjoy your Zumba thing...! Sorry about you cleaning...I was supposed to go in Jan, but don't have the income to do so...they will chastise me..LOL

Morning everyone
Getting back to normal hours now. My biggest news is I completed my 5km walk - first organised event is some 4 years.. Red faced - I made it in 55 min. The time can only come down from here. So proud of myself!
@trooworld - Sorry to hear that your planned weight loss did not go as expected. Glad you are getting more moevement into the day
@cbabie - Sorry to hear that a TV show distressed to that extend, but as trooworld says, today is a new day. Do not be hard on yourseld
@theslightedgeforever - Hope you are travelling safe

Morning all:
sorry I wasn't here over the weekend. I have been doing life. LOL I went to a revival on Friday night with some friends, Saturday, cleaned house, laundry, etc...Sunday, church and cook dinner...but all in all it was a good weekend. I didn't go to the gym Sat or Sun, but went this morning. My stamina is coming back..YEA.
@TrishasTime Yea for you for finishing. Sometimes it's the act of completion that is more satisfying than the task. I am so proud of you!!
@trooworld I love your look at life. Glad you enjoyed your class. That will be my next move up in my physical fitness journey is to add a class at the gym once a week...baby steps.
@theslightedgeforever So glad the graduation is over...and life will somewhat go back to normal for you. LOL
Cbabie0 -
Morning!
@trooworld LOL I laughed so hard at your comment about the reward for the 5K walk. I so love your sense of humor. I saw that , but haven't read the link yet. I will as you know I LOVE my PB..LOL On this journey I have learned I can't any longer have a list of foods I can't eat because I am FAT...I have to have a list of foods I love and balance with exercise and understand that any food unless I am allergic to it...I can have in portion sizes or bites. Sometimes it's just a bite of something that I need and because I have said no for so long I eat the WHOLE thing.
Cbabie0 -
Went to the gym, my DG wanted to do the bike too...ugh I hate the bike...but did 15 min on that and 30 on the teadmill...
@trooworld yea they changed the menu!!! The thing is that I see and hear from your post is that you are aware...so that is the best you can do!!
Cbabie0 -
Morning! I went to the gym again, only did the treadmill for 30 min as my grandson wants to go this afternoon and not this morning..LOL I tracked everything I ate yesterday...so day considered a success.
@trooworld YEA for your loss....funny about the dinner,so glad you got to enjoy desert!! I have no plans for Mothers day...I am praying that my daughter and grandaughter decide to go to church with me..:)
@gemwolf110 I remember those days and I didn't get up from my desk to move as I had "too much" to do. I used to bring light kettle corn to work to snack on ...I tried to make myself get up every 1/2 and at least walk the building...didn't always make it, but I tried..LOL
Cbabie1 -
Sorry guys my grandson had me at the gym at 6 today lol...messed with my whole routine... I did treadmill 30 min, bike 10 min and upper arm and shoulder weight and bands
@trooworld I know you can do this you still make me laugh you're always trying something new and I'm so proud of you that you do.
@gemwolf110 tell your boss I used sell office furniture and it's medically proven to make you more productive when you sit at a sit-to-stand and it's healthier for you to sit for a few minutes and stand for a few minutes1 -
Morning everyone
Just rushing through to let you know I am alive. Been doing an averageof 12 hurs per day and when I get home I do not want obe in front of the ocmputer. More like I sink into the spa and relax.
It is mothers day here in Perth and i am walking in the 4km section to raise money for breast cancer - gotta leave soon. I have skimmed past the posts
Trooworld & Theslightedgeforver - congrats on you losses
Cbabie - If you are at the gym you are beting someone still sleeping
Take care
Trish0 -
I’m not even going to try and catch up. Hopefully everyone is well. My vacation is almost over and then back to the grind. I did good tracking first half but not so good second half. Happy Mother’s Day. Trisha do you celebrate yours in March like the U.K. people do?1

Morning everyone
@trooworld - Getting up at 4.20am - I can see a determined change in you. I thught me getting up at 5am each day was bad enough
@theslightedgeforever - welcome back
Trish0 -
Afternoon guys,
Sorry, this week has flown by for me. It's been emotional, thought provking, but I am still going to the gym, I feel that I am making some progress in moving forward.
I agree with @theslightedgeforever I won't really try to catch up. I wanted to let you guys know I am still here and sorry that I missed the last few days.
@gemwolf110 Glad to see you on the boards and you keeping @trooworld company...LOL
@trooworld Sorry I left you alone again...tell me what is so special about those cupcakes...I love cake of any kind unfortunately...LOL Glad you are enjoying your new class...sore is good!!!
@TrishasTime I hope things slow down for you soon..

@trooworld
My WW Connect User is Jim376.
My #1 tip is Never Quit! You have to keep going when the Scale goes up realize the Long Term View is the only one to keep focus on it’s a Lifetime for a Lifestyle.
No Finish Line.0 -
Can you tell me how to calculate how many freestyle points I should get?0

Hi all,
I am a little late getting on here. I didn't go to the gym today....ugh, cancelled my trainer. Just felt out of sorts and yes I am paying for it now...tomorrow got to go...LOL I just made my body butter, with EO's and it is so good!! I was out and for a week or more and I really don't like other lotions..
@MiiandaC I am not sure, hopefully one of the other to WW persons, can help. Good to see you!
@Jimb376mfp Congrats!! I reached life time a few years back and am only 2 above, but it was a high weight and I felt better about 10 lbs lighter...so I am striving to get that back off...WW was good for me.
@trooworld Yea for the loss....congrats...sounds like you found your rhythm..I will get there too!! At least I haven't gained...but a loss is so much preferred..LOL The cupcakes sound yummy...I am one that if it's not buttercream frosting...I don't want to waste my calories..LOL. The sweeter the better..hence my weight gain.
@theslightedgeforever , Well now it's time to clean up the mess from the party..LOL okay you can rest and get your clothes put away and your feet up...but don't stay there. We are here to cheer you on...PARTY OVER, PARTY OVER...LOL
Cbabie1 -
Morning everyone
No chance of me catching all the news here, so I will draw a line in the sand to say, I am back, will be here more regularly as I am back to normal hours.
I hope everyone is well

@Jimb376mfp Woohoo on making lifetime. That's quite an achievement. I think any plan works if you work the plan and be consistent. I think finding the right plan that fits into your lifestyle is the answer.
@MiirandaC I don't know exactly. Maybe do a search of a freestyle calculator and see if someone has come up with one yet.
cbabie Party over. Yes. Now to get back to my routine.
gemwolf If you can't do Healthywage, what could you do instead that is like that but doable for you. I once did something like that with a friend and basically we just traded money back and forth.
Trishastime Welcome back
trooworld Hooray for losing almost 3 lbs. Awesome. Just keep working your plan.
So back to reality. Tomorrow I will weigh in.

Morning everyone
@trooworld - I am loving you changed mindset - Congrats on the loss - well done
@theslightedgeforever _ Good luck with your weigh in - fingers cross for a loss despite that you have been away
@gemwolf110 - I know that @trooworld is doing this, if you think it will work for you then go fo it
@cbabie - How did you go with the trainer today?
Today is Sunday here in OZ. I have to go food shopping and do the ironing. I am thinking of doing a silverside with roast veges for dinner, as it is getting cold in the evening. Will watch my portions though.
GD has 2 weeks from school due to exams - I have asked her to take over some of the cooking for me - lets see how that goes
