Are you sore? If so, your muscles are def holding extra water weight. Don't be discouraged. The needle on the scale will move. TRUST THE PROGRAM!0 -

Number 5 of my list of 10!
5. My Auntie Dot. She is the sister I never had. She is there for me no matter what is happening.1 -
Update on weekly goals:
I have been doing well with my goals this week. I spent Monday and Tuesday gutting my apartment so that helped with steps. Kids kept me on my toes today. Love all the participation in the weekly challenge.
Monday’s steps: 9,584
Tuesday’s steps: 9,893
@kilobykilo glad to have you back
@LaurieWrobo upping exercise can cause temporary water weight gain2 -

Item 4 : My two best friends - I married the first one and we are always there for each other. My best mate Kev, he is the kind of guy that if you got arrested for dancing naked on top of a police car at 3am after drinking a bottle of JD - he would still give you an alibi!2 -

I want to brag on this group!
I have been involved with F2F for a couple years now. This group reports their weigh ins better than ANY group I have been a part of in the past. WTG guys!!!6 -
2 more things I am thankful for:
3. MFP. It keeps me honest, and the message boards teach me and inspire me. Our Shrinking Assets Team is helping me be accountable every week. Plus, what can I say, I am competitive and want our team to win!
4. My retirement. I have a small, but manageable retirement that allows me to be independent and have a little fun, as long as I stay in the middle of the US where the cost of living is cheap.
Good day to everyone!0 -

Let’s make a list of those items. But how long is the list going to be? Well, it’s all about your age. Add the 2 numbers of your age together. For example, I am 55, so 5+5=10. My list will have 10 things that make me happy or thankful. Everyday take a few items from your list and share it with the your teammates.
Well...I am 33 so I'll have six on my list.
My first and foremost is my daughter. Every day I look at her and smile. She is a strength within me to keep me going no matter what is in my way.
However this weight loss journey has slowly tore me apart. Last night I made pasta with biscuits topped with garlic, cheese, and Italian seasoning for her and my husband. She was so sad cause I didn't eat the exact same as them. I made myself zoodles and sauce with asiago chips instead. So it was close enough for me but not for her.
I am a couple behind so I am sorry.
The second thing I am thankful for is my job. It allows me the opportunity to help others in the community, show my outgoing personality, and make amazing friends.
The third thing I am thankful for is the Young Marines. I am able to help the youth of our community, teach new skills, and provide a lasting (hopefully good) impression on our future leaders.
Good morning everyone!
The fourth thing I am thankful for is MFP, my MFP friends, and all of you! MFP keeps me accountable, but each of you keep me encouraged to continue to do the best I can at the moment, remember that slip ups happen and not to be discouraged, and let me know that there is a support here even when my friends, family, and colleagues might not always be.
Thank you all for being so amazing and sharing your journey as well as mine.
The fifth thing I am thankful for is my ex husband. I know that probably sounds strange (especially with the way our relationship was), but I am thankful for our time together and the lessons I learned on how a marriage should not work.1 -

This is not strange at all. My ex was my #1 thankful. If I hadn't had a not great marriage, I would not know how great the one I have now is!!!0 -

My 6 and 7 things from my list of 10!
6. I am very thankful for my parents. They raised me with good values.
7. MFP and this group. This support has helped me be successful and get over the bumps.0 -
Hey team
I’m going off internet in terms of everything but school. I just started school and have noticed MFP is another stress for me ( I need to check it off my check list) so I’ll be back in December!
Y’all will accomplish your goals!3 -

Item 5 : My current job, after years of paper pushing in a pointless exercise of compiling information for the government of the day to say how much tax needs to be paid I still do the same thing though now for a volunteering organisation that I believe actually makes a difference. It is 3:30am, I am at work to complete the year end audit and I really don't mind.1 -
Lazy couple of days finishing my holiday off with a friend at a hotel with a pool. Today I travel home and then from tomorrow get my head back in the game!

August is coming to an end... I'm feeling a little nervous. Almost like at work when there is a production incentive and you ask yourself "could I have done just a little better?"
I just updated my NERD SHEET and it is predicting about a 2 lb loss for the week. I am just not feeling it. It has been pretty accurate to date, but seeing the math and science behind weight loss again - makes me nervous. I feel like my nerd sheet keeps me honest. If it is off for 1 week - this could be sodium, water retention in my muscles, cyclical, etc. If it is off for 2 weeks - then this is human error. I am not tracking my calories properly.
As I am typing this - I'm noticing my wedding ring is tighter than it was yesterday. THIS is probably why I'm not feeling it. What does this tell me? Listen to your body -- My fingers didn't get overly fat overnight. I AM retaining water for some reason. What will I do about it?? CHUG CHUG CHUG!!
Ok, I will stop rambling on this morning. I hope everyone has an AMAZING DAY! I can't wait to see the Friday weigh ins start to appear!!!
BEKA OUT!4 -

The cycle is broken. I lost 2 weeks in a row. I weigh myself daily and all week it was looking good. I have been cleaning out the storage closet and all the rooms in our apartment this week. I have gone back and forth to the garbage bin so much this week someone asked me if I was moving out. Wednesday was a very active day with my granddaughter. I think I must have burned lots of calories.5 -
