    @LaurieWrobo whoooooppppp amazing well done you!!!!! It is so inspiring seeing people reach goal.... you make me believe, thank you!

    @Curvybaja55 have a great day too :)

    My check in.
    Today was *kitten* with work. I thought working from home would be good but actually I really much prefer being in the office.... also I snack way more here.

    I finished work and popped to the supermarket, I walked the whole way hk e persuading myself to move my workout to tomorrow morning (I'd planned to do it at lunch but ended up without a lunch break) but got in and got it done.... yeah!

    20.40 and still got dinner to organise and eat, but needed to cool down and regain composure first so it was the perfect time to pop on here.

    2 more days to the weekend..... come on, we've got this!

    Simply, life isn't easy, everything is a choice, what do you want? Do you need help getting there? If so we are here for you.

    Set out for 10k - made 10k! Very, very, VERY slowly.

    To be fair this is probably good training for when I actually get to run the last few miles of a marathon as I am running with pretty much no energy to call on.

    @kilobykilo awesome job!!! Go you!!!

    @carriestrine I cannot imagine the air quality there. It is so wide spread!!! How far are you from the fires?

    @TheMrWobbly is the lack of energy due to keto?

    Good job guys!!

    So, I feel your pain about the men who are like “look how easy weight loss is”. I want to punch them in the face. But I also don’t want to go to jail, so there’s that.

    This needs to be the law. We need a list of offences that allow you to give someone a bop on the nose;

    1. Bragging about losing weight whilst putting in zero effort
    2. Lining up several people abreast across a foot path and not giving any room when somebody comes along
    3. Reaching over someone for something when shopping as if social distancing didn't exist
    4. Parking your vehicle on a pavement so wheelchairs and pushchairs have to go in the road

    If we don't reach 100 I would be surprised!

    Lol yes!!!!

    Unfortunately yes. Apparently it takes a while for your body to adjust and 10k is as far as I can go even then didn't feel good. I have to admit it - I love carbs!

    Sometimes I feel like a lurker in these team threads because I read all the posts each day but only really chime in on weigh in days. I wanted to share how much I relate to and am inspired by what you all share!

    @LaurieWrobo how pumped are you for wedding photos now?! I bet one will make an awesome progress post! Have you bought your dress yet?

    This time of the year is always weird for people because of all the change that happens from summer to fall routines. Work madness, kids back to school, all those things! Im trying to remember that and be kind to myself as we shift into this new season, and think about just one or two simple priorities that I can carry forward.

    Right now Im doing ok food and calories wise, but am greatly impacted by the poor air quality and wildfire smoke here in California. It has made exercise very difficult or impossible on really poor air days. I'm missing the stress relief and the feeling of getting stronger. It has almost made me forget about covid.

    Hi! Yep dress was bought back in February before all the COVID stuff hit; I went for alterations a few weeks ago- none needed!!!!
    So no more money needed to be spent😘

    Weigh day Thursday
    PW: 132
    CW: 131.6
    LTD: 5.0 (April 2020)

    Ok so hoping this is actual (albeit slow) progress. I guess we will see. I have worked out regularly since April...Jazzercise on Demand during Covid actually got me started back on this train to lose weight and get more fit.

    And to those with husbands/men that can eat one less peanut and lose, I can relate. While I have yo-yo'd and worked out to lose my 5 pds, my husband has managed to lose 18. However, he is my hero and happy that Keto works for him...I would just give up life without carbs... and starve since I really hate most veggies! Ha. Everyone I think has to find their path. :)

    :star:The Idea Lounge :star: is a place where we can come together to share our creative ideas and give our suggestions on how to make Fat2Fit the best challenge group on My Fitness Pal! B)

    Challenges - Why challenges? There is nothing better to help keep the energy and commitment high, and the discouragement and staleness low. They are optional but really helpful. Tell us which ones you like, or what new ideas you'd like to see.

    Suggestions - This is wide open! What would make F2F better? What bugs you? What works really well? Take some time to look around on other teams than your own, and if you see something you'd like your team to try, suggest it! Or if you think of ways we can improve communication, reward the right kind of progress, or make the community more welcoming and effective. Spill!

    I apologize, the long weekend threw me off so yesterday felt like Tuesday and I didn't weigh in! I'll carry over from last week.

    Thank you for your kind words, everyone! It really means a lot that you’re cheering me on. @Beka3695 yes please, carry over my weigh-in for both last week and the upcoming week (Sep 13th). I’m trying to get myself together so I can actually have some progress next week. Tbh it might take all September to get me back on my feet, but I’ll try.

    I’ve been working late most days this week, yesterday I ”left early” and ended up leaving at 6.30. Today I met with my personal trainer at 1PM and didn’t open my computer after the session, trying to take a little break and reboot this weekend. The training session was good too, so things are kinda looking up.

    @imgwendolyn2015 good luck on the fundraiser! I hope you guys, especially the ex-wife, can all focus on the cause and raising funds instead of personal differences or disagreements. Is there a way you could help the cause without participating in same activities as she does? How big is the fundraising effort, would it be possible to just donate a bit more money to the cause, maybe volunteer for a national/local program and skip the fundraiser altogether?

    If we don't reach 100 I would be surprised!

    5. Stopping to look at your phone/smoke a cigarette/say goodbye to a friend/whatever non-emerency reason right in front of a door or escalator, blocking it from everyone else.
    6. When using elevators, going in first but staying in front next to the doors so others have to go past you in a tight space to get in the elevator
    7. When entering the elevator first and not pressing the damn button while standing in front of it (this is especially applicable when there’s only one floor the elevator goes to)
    8. Parking your shopping cart sideways on an aisle instead of parallel to shelves so it blocks the aisle while you look for what you want / try to make a decision / read labels / whatever
    9. Entering a public transportation vehicle before letting out the people leaving at that stop/station, or standing right in front of the doors so you’re blocking others from exiting
    10. Not holding the door open for people with wheelchairs, child prams (what’s the right word?), walking aids, big luggage etc.
    11. Taking photos in dressing rooms (there’s a thousand places to take ”yayyyy at the gym, getting the pump on” selfies, a dressing room with other people isn’t one of them)

    Whew, this felt good.

    @hipari #8 was the top of my list!!! Biggest pet peeve ever!!!

    Here are 3 more

    12. People who don’t return shopping carts
    13. Not saying hello or at least nodding to acknowledge on walking trails
    14. Dog walkers that let their dogs poo on trails and don’t pick it up.

    It's a whole big thing. Raffles, DJ, food, swag...
    I wish I could avoid it all together, but I want to be there to support my husband. I just hope that something rings her bell so she can see how she is treating people. I will be the bigger person and just avoid conflict, ignore her if I have to, and get through the day.

    @imgwendolyn2015 I hope the fund raiser does as well as possible. Obviously these situations are highly stressed and I only hope you day goes without unnecessary barbs.

    If it helps I was once told 'if you wouldn't take advice from someone why would you listen to their criticism?' - came in handy on more than one occassion.

    Not surprised I’m relatively static this week because I ate out a couple of time but I’m happy that I’ve started swimming and doing my beach body work outs a bit more regularly!!
