@1theresamcvean I’m coming for tea with Pam!
Our picnic was so delicious, lovely and fun!!!! Pictures soon. Need to get up and bake daughters birthday cake. We’re meeting at an outdoor brewery. I’m making it a 9x13 and placing it in an ice chest. Going to be hot today. Yellow cake with a light spread of yesterday’s leftover chocolate frosting topped with vanilla pudding mixed fresh berries whip cream and more berries. All vegan!
Have a great weekend everyone!!!3 -
@podperson1
It's funny how hard something is when you haven't done it for a while. Glad you stuck with it.
Hope your counseling session goes well.
I find it harder to open up in person with someone I don't know but easier when I'm typing something online. It's strange, I know but that's how it works for me.3 -
@nstephenson01
Hope you can figure out what's causing your issue and that you feel better.
Happy belated birthday!1 -
@Mrsbell8well
Thanks, me too. I do so much better working out with him. He doesn't let me slack!😉
I thought about taking a break from weighing myself but not sure if that will help me. I still weighed every day while watching the number go up. You'd think I would have done something about it after the first pound.
Chocolate, yum!! I wouldn't be able to have it sit there. It would be gone in no time!5 -
@cafelelia
Yes, water is a good goal to start with for the challenge from my trainer. Once I do well with that then he will give me something else to work on and we'll build back up from there.3 -
@sleepymom5
Thanks. You're right, beating myself up isn't going to help anything. I just need to start where I am now.1 -
Sounds like a lot if you were having trouble getting on the site. I did too. Every time I tried yesterday it would say "community unavailable at this time"
I did ok with my water challenge yesterday. I had 8 oz or more before 2 of my 3 meals so I'll count that as being successful for the first day.
Still working on the food and exercise part. Since I'll be working with my trainer regularly again I will get in 30 minutes 3 days a week. It will be up to me to get the exercise in the other days. Time to get back into a routine at the gym.
Not sure if there will be much walking with my neighbor next week. I saw the weather forecast and the temperatures show 88 degrees with a few days in the 90's.3 -

I guess it’s working!!!! I am having major cravings for sweets though! I got us subs from subway yesterday and I also bought 3 cookies... I looked up the point value for 1 cookie and it was way more than the sub, needless to say Wayne got all of the cookies! They were his favorites anyway!
@tryingagain5 it’s sounds like you are getting back in your element! I think having a trainer would be great! Someone pushing for you to accountable always helps!
@lennoncpa I’m glad you have found ways to make it easier when it’s time to let a doggie move on to it’s forever home! What you do is awesome! I would love to be able to do it, but I get to attached to quickly! I currently have four dogs that were found and one that was given to me because the owner was moving and was going to surrender her to the spca. We are going to try to get some goats today, I get too attached to them as well and cry for days when he takes them back to the stock sale!8 -
Hi, y’all. I’m new to the group. Joined yesterday. I’ve been skimming through the comments and everyone here is so nice and supportive! I live in Texas. I’m a nearly-50 working mom still carrying some baby weight (and my youngest is 10) and some more pounds that I cannot blame on pregnancy. I started cycling about 5 weeks ago because foot surgery is limiting what I can do (no more aerobics for now). I’ve really started enjoying it. I started out going 3-5 miles each ride. Now I go 10-12. Last night my total miles to date reached 200 (actually 208.21). I’ve reached that point where I actually want/need to do the exercise. I haven’t been there in several years. I’m glad it finally happened.
You should all be seeing friend requests from me. Glad to be here!9 -
I think I eat more in this hot weather so not expecting much this weigh in but now cooler aim to increase my workouts using weights.4

@timibotkin
Great loss! Keep it up!
Yes, getting back into the gym regularly will help. Alex definitely pushes me hard and keeps me accountable.2 -
I went out to the garden this morning and did a little hoein’ and weedin’ I was pleasantly surprised with my findings! I have zucchini! About 5 of them, they should be ready to eat in a couple of days!
I tried making overnight oats last night, I am not an oatmeal fan, but oatmeal is a zero point food so I thought maybe if it was cold I could possibly eat it...well I mixed in some chocolate peanut butter powder and some almond milk and shoved it in the fridge... just tried eating it... I still don’t like it! Lol! I threw in some blueberries and bananas and I can tolerate it! The taste is actually really good but the I can not stand the texture and swallowing it makes me gag!
Well as I was siting here typing my little Buddy dog jumped on my lap, I wasn’t paying attention and he started eating it... apparently it makes him gag too! Kinda glad cuz’ I really did need a reason to throw the rest of it away! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!5 -
Some garden pics! Sorry for post overload this morning! I think I’ve posted more this morning than I have all month!

Happy Belated birthday! Hope it was a great one!0 -
Saturday check in
Food - on target
Water - 1.8l
Exercise - 25 min run, 9,159 steps
I was just like a deflated balloon yesterday with school ending. Also, as we emerge from lockdown into Phase 2, it made me look back at how long it lasted, the challenges, the worries etc. It was nice to have a day with less to do and little to stress about. It felt like a luxury. My younger son and I are off to my mother’s house today, which is a small town about 90 minutes away. I will stay for a few days, but he will stay on for a couple of weeks since most summer camps and our trip has been cancelled. He is looking forward to a change of scene and more spoiling from his grandmother.
I was having trouble signing on for the past few days too. There may be some MFP maintenance work going on. The app is not working, but I am able to connect to the community via the internet.
@timibotkin - Outstanding loss and WW is really working for you! Don’t worry, the cravings will pass. Your garden is amazing! Zucchini are one of my favorite veggies. Those zucchini flowers look tempting too. I like to prepare them in a light panko batter and fry them. They are delicious (although a little heavier on the calories)!
@tryingagain5 - Great job with the water and scheduling your exercise sessions! The incremental changes that you are making will add up.
@annliz23 - Lovely quote, thank you!
@KristieJC - Welcome to the team and we are so happy that you have joined!
@Zumba_Luvah - Amazing loss and you are on a roll!
@brown6267 - Fantastic steps and congratulations on 2 months of being in maintenance (or the goal zone as we like to say)!
@mrsbell8well - Lovely haircut! That is so nice that you arranged that picnic with Molly! I cannot wait to see the photos that and of the birthday cake!
@melaniescott - I am so sorry that you sleep was disrupted by that storm. Hope that you can get some rest today.
@bburrer30 - Don’t worry about posting your weight late, life happens. I am sorry about your grandmother and hope that she is doing ok at the hospice. Hope that you got your water sorted out as well. That bike is gorgeous! I love the colours.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx - We missed you too and glad to see that you could get back into the community. So great that your clothes are loose and you had to size down. What an amazing NSV! It is also great that the kids are into full swing with basketball. Some hockey practices have started up here again, but I am still in the honeymoon phase where I am enjoying it and it doesn’t feel too busy yet.
@KUMEcyclingteam - That is such a small gain, clearly it is the water from the river! Your LTD is impressive!
@1theresamcvean - I feel the same way about our city as you do. No place is perfect, but I love where we love and I don’t think that there are many other places I would want to live. It is so funny, I have a very similar story about my older son insisting on buying our milk at our corner store up the street. We are regulars as they sell nice organize milk and I called the owners in advance to let them know that my 10 year old was coming on his own. My younger son turns 10 turns September and is planning his first independent outing around that time.
@hope002 - Nice loss and impressive LTD in 11 months!
@sleepymom5 - Hurray for onederland, congratulations! Hope that you are having a fantastic time at the Shore!
@lenka1 - Fantastic loss! I am just so impressed with your dedication, way to go!
@lennoncpa - I have been loving your photos of your foster dog! Don’t worry about the weight loss pause and I am sure things will get going again soon for you.
