@RangerRickL My deepest heartfelt sympathy for Uncle Gene. Rose and you and your extended family are in my thoughts and prayers, my dear friend! I also want to point out to the UAC group, despite the death of Uncle Gene and the craziness, tears, and just utter sadness when one passes, Rick still managed to follow his fitness and health routine. This deserves a HUGE standing ovation! I know I would have thrown in the towel during this sorrowful time! You are our leader Rick! We NEED you!

@RangerRickL, @chinkiri, @Smoda61, @SummerSkier, @biketheworld, @Katiecan2021, @Greygirl915 Thank you ALL for the beautiful and amazing photos! So nice seeing places we can't visit right now due to Covid! @lestdarts180 Who says that muddy and wet outside isn't beautiful? Take those pics! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
@mshawski Cheer up, friend! Don't look back at what you once looked like! This is NOT good and lives in today's moment, and YOU are doing your best today! Thinking and imagining what your body may look like in the future is ok. This is a great motivator to keep you on track. When on my walks, I will imagine I am on a beach, the sun shining on me, and wearing the cutest bikini!
@Dory_42 I am really sorry the doggie is still not up to par! I hate when the meds make them so loopy! Keeping you and your beloved pet in my thoughts and prayers.




These pics are from Ottawa, Illinois. This is my husband's parents' house they recently moved into from Downers Grove, where they lived for 40 years raising their children. My husband's Father has Dementia, and some days are good, some not so good! They looked for a home that they could live in with my husband's brother and his wife, so they could help take care of him! Chester ( Hubby's Dad's name ) has always loved nature, gardening, planting flowers, watching the deer, birds, and squirrels. The whole family was worried about what this move might do to him, leaving the only home he knows and still remembers. I would say we made the BEST decision! He looks so in awe of this deer peeking through the window at him! I wonder what he and the deer are thinking at this moment? I want to think they have an unspoken language we wouldn't understand and are one with the Universe! One of my favorite pictures of Chester!

Yes, yes, and yes, but only barely on the exercise.

Rick, sorry for your loss.

My picture is from today's drive, tried exploring some new places, pretty desolate.
That is my truck, end of the road for me.

No, pass day on the 16th - pretty sure that was my last. I went over on calories... but had lots of activity...so - not too bummed about it frankly.
Yes x's 3 today - the 17th.tomorrow will be day one of my trying a new approach to up the weight loss...
Weigh in day tomorrow.

Thanks for the nice pics Ranger Rick and all.
This pic is from a vacay in Colorado 4.5 yrs ago....a lifetime ago... So many changes since then...and happy to say... lighter today that I was on that trip.

Wishing you a great start to your new week wherever in the world you find yourself!

Exercise: 80 min. Biking
Calories: yes
Tracking: yes

Wonderful photos! Wish I could post mine - mountains covered in snow 😍.

I had almost 300cal left yesterday and was stubborn enough not to eat them, although I was pretty hugry in the evening. I also completed week 10 of 12 and though I love leg workouts, this one was tough!

I am thinking of not joining anymore in Feb, since I made "friends" with someone here to just be removed without notice after a few weeks, presumably because I was not supportive enough (wouldn't know for sure, because my message was not answered). Admittedly, I made good friends with other members, but it's a bit frustrating not to be able to interract here, due to time difference (when I post, everyone else would move to the thread for the next day). I feel a bit selfish to just update on my result and not be sympathetic/appreciative... However, K spend enough time on MFP, maybe even a little too much. Well, I can only do what I can do. 🤷‍♀️
