    NSV today!!

    We bought these new shirts for work and when they arrived I didn’t realize it was a fitted women’s style in a spandex type material. It fit like a sausage casing and I haven’t worn it ever.

    Today I thought I would try it and it slipped on comfortably with no clinging!

    Although I feel like I haven’t made any progress in the last few months, it’s amazing to have a little tangible evidence that I’m on the right track.

    Nice NSV!

    Are you sure you didn't hurt your back jumping up and down rooting for your Steelers? :)

    Get well teammate.

    @jcgator2016 I LOVE the Christmas light story. Your grandson is adorable. You outdid yourself on the lights - showing the love to him!!! He is a lucky young man :smile:

    Thanks. He's a pain in the *kitten*. But I love him.

    Yummmmm! Chicken Alfredo!

    We ate out Thai food last night. I got my favorite "Tofu Pad Thai" which is about 950 calories. Thank goodness I brought half of it home for another night. How can I lower these calories and make it healthier?

    December Week 1
    LW: 267.4
    CW: 265.2

    Trying to stay consistent at a 2-2.5 weekly loss. Will be doing more fitness training and less pickleball to build/maintain muscle mass. Got with my new nutritionist at the fitness training center and we changed my eating schedule and she wants me to eat cleaner and no dairy products. Not a big veggie eater, I'll have to get creative.

    AWESOME LOSS!!!🙌

    I'll share with you the link to the back stretcher that I use (my PT recommended after my L/4, L/5, S/1 disc herniations 2 years ago):

    https://www.amazon.com/Stretcher-ReachTop-Support-Massager-Corrector/dp/B07F2B7GRM/ref=sr_1_47?crid=Q4R8S2349QXZ&amp;keywords=back+stretcher&amp;qid=1575664770&amp;sprefix=back+Street,aps,139&amp;sr=8-47

    I still use it regularly and worked my way up to the highest incline/arch level.... takes all the gravity off of your spine and releases.

    🤗I hope you feel better ASAP-- I know how horrible back pain is---it makes everything come to a halt😖😣😢     ❤️

    I love Chinese, but rarely go out to eat it bc it's so high in calories (and sodium too).... General Gao's is a family favorite... and I have an air fryer... 🤔 how can I make General Gao's more healthy??
