Loss 4.2 lbs.
I started the couch to 5Kapp this week. I feel amazing and I’m losing again. I’ve also been better about snacking. Again I believe because I’m running and kicking in endorphins. Well maybe we should call it jogging. Whatever it is it’s working.

Y'all haven't seen much of me the last week and a half and I'm sorry for that. I'll probably keep this short. A week and a half ago I started having vertigo episodes again and have been keeping phone/ computer time to a minimum. Captain's steer...I can't even steer me right now. Just walking to pick up my phone was a challenge this am (and yesterday I thought I'd made progress). It will pass, I'm sure, and we're working on getting back on course...have ballast testing coming up soon(ish).
You guys are awesome. So many have posted losses, alternative progress. Terrific! I did two of the challenges this month (I don't usually...not a team sport kinda girl) and it hit home my need for consistency. Health ritual, so to speak.
I'm reading posts and cheering you on Somewhere in Kansas...I just can't spend a lot of time on the machines (40 work hours is killing me...I suspect it doesn't help). Keep up the excellent work!5 -

Very hard time right now. Trying to keep company going. I'm a technician by trade and even though I'm running the company some difficult technical tasks are for me to do. This weekend I'm converting a client off a legacy database to a new system. It's 12 hours of technical work between this morning and Monday at 7 AM.
25 YO daughter left her husband last night and headed my way to move in with me. She's been crying to me on the phone for 2 months. We live 24 hours of driving away from each other. I coordinated with her brother and sisters to arrange for the truck, reserve hotel rooms, and manage the return flight for the siblings who are traveling up here with her.
I know you all have things like this going on in your lives, too. Being a parent to adult children seems much harder than raising them when they are young. I was in charge then. I can only suggest now.5 -

Saturday –20,107
It has been a good week. My weight was down to 125.4 yesterday but back up today to 126.4. I have no idea why, but still within my magic number. I have managed to do more strength exercises this week, about 30 minutes a day.
I was very happy to go to school Friday and substitute, although I did not have any students all day (subbing for the in school suspension teacher). I did take my laptop to school so I did some walking videos and weight videos from YouTube. The in person kids are doing great and no discipline problems therefore nobody in the classroom but me! I will do that again when I sub in that class. I will sub 2 days this week, 7th grade and again ISS. It was good to just get out of the house and see PEOPLE other than my husband.
We did not go out to eat this week but plan to try it again Monday night. Wishing all of you a new week ahead with promise, persistence and progress! Keep on keeping on…………

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!

I’m feeling good about losing. I’m a little sad that I’m still at my highest weight ever. Why did I let myself gain in the first place? How come I didn’t care? I remember trying on a pair of AE mom jeans size 16 last Dec. that didn’t fit me. Yesterday I bought a pair of size 10 from there. That made me feel good. I have the desire to keep losing, but I’m not sure what goal weight I want to have. I guess I’ll decide when I get there. I’ll take suggestions, I’m 5’5”. I would say the majority of my life I have been an average weight of 155 to 160 pounds, but I definitely look my best and feel the sexiest when I weigh about 135 lbs. ( which is what I weighed in my teens and twice in my 30’s for like less than a year). When I weigh 135 lbs I get lots of compliments. I’m not sure I want that. So far my friends and colleagues haven’t noticed I’ve lost, but I know they will if I get back down to the 130’s.

@annliz23 that is such a cute cake! And it does look very yummy!!!
@debbiewsharpe I got the nut craving out of my system for awhile! It cost me like 1000 calories- but I’m over it now!! The craziest thing is - it wasn’t all that great! It seems to be more of the fight to not eat them that brings the excitement! So weird!! Sunny got none! In fact- he seems to be losing weight hanging out with me!0 -
Weigh in for going ape
153 (I think)
149.4
70 pounds lost.
Glad I’m back down under 150. I’m supposed to do my three month body scan on Monday but I’m going to lose a bit more before I do it. I know I’m still up a bit from my weight from my last body scan. Maybe five more pounds and I will do it. I’m wondering if I have any gains in muscle!
Cheers pals !1 -

Finally got the call I've been waiting for, I get my first COVID shot next week! I'm on a roll over here! Lost 5.4 pounds last week, worked out like crazy, kept my diet in check and drank lots and lots of water! Of course not all exercise was logged, there was the "Ice Cube" incident. Dropped one on the hardwood floor and took me at least 15 minutes to pick it up (good cardio and stretching right there, maybe a little yoga involved as well), would of probably been easier to let it melt them mop it up, but we all know by now "Easy" is not part of my vocabulary! lol
Work hard Fam! You all have the power to do this! Tomorrow I may purposely drop the whole ice cube tray on the floor for my work out! lol5 -

We did not have the outdoor worship service yesterday. It was too cold, wet and windy. This Sunday we will return to the sanctuary for the first time since March 8, 2020. I have plans to go out to eat tonight and Wednesday. I have only done this once since Covid. If I feel safe I will eat in. If not, we will get it to go.
@annliz23 – steady weight and great step totals. I love the cake.
@rachelrjh – Congrats on the big loss this week! I am sure that the weight loss will be noticeable very soon. I hope that as you near your desirable weight range you can determine what is right for you.
@goingape – I am interested in the body scan, I never heard of it before. Hope you are gaining muscle.
@kandi3670 @Rachelrjh @Zunba_Luvah - congratulations to ALL of you!
@ljdanny- good step totals, getting it done every day!
@KUMEcyclingteam – good to hear the Covid shot is scheduled soon. Congratulations on the weight loss! I am picturing you chasing an ice cube around the floor
@moamb – welcome to the team

~~ Happy March Week Four ~~
We are almost done with March, as hard as it is to believe. I hope this year has only gotten better for all of you.
@moamb - Welcome to Team Weight No More! I'm Ashley, one of the captains here, along with the marvelous Melanie ( @melaniedscott ). If there's anything you are curious about, please do not hesitate to ask. We have folks here from all walks of life, plenty of different perspectives at your disposal.
@goingape - Best of luck on your body scan! I'm doing one next week, and I'm a little nervous for it. Haven't done one before.
@rachelrjh - Personally, my goal weight is somewhere in the 140s (although it's been over a decade since I weighed anywhere close to that, so I have no idea what it feels like). I'm 5'7", so slightly taller than you. However, it just hit me that I haven't updated my goal weight at all since I started on MFP, and I may feel different about it when I start getting close to it. I'm thinking that I'll just pay attention to how I feel and run with that.
@annliz23 - That cake is so cute! I can't blame you for eating it. Not one bit.
Update on Me:
My scale and I are not friends right now. I'm still retaining water from my chest injury (and still recovering very slowly), and there may be some extra water retention between my cheat meals from last weekend and my cheat meals throughout the week and the extra snacking I've been doing and the alcohol I drank and other bad habits here and there. Although it's not all bad news. My calves and my arms have become firmer, so there's definitely been some muscle growth/fat loss. Time to work on disassociating myself from the number on the scale. I've been good about it in the past, but that clearly wasn't enough to extend into now.
~ Walking Warriors ~
Between the seven strong steppers who posted their steps last week, our team managed a staggering 513,984 steps. Folks, that's an average of 73,426 steps per person over the course of the week. That's (ahem) dang impressive. That's worthy of praise and recognition, easily.
Our Top Stepper last week was...@debbiewsharpe !!!
Debbie outdid herself this week, totaling 123,021 steps over the course of the week, which equates to an average of 17,574 steps per day. She was also one of our most consistent walkers, deviating no more than 1,300 steps on average each day, which makes her numbers all the more impressive. That consistency and dedication keeps us looking up to Debbie every single week, if not every single day. Fantastic job!

It was a better week. Still very stressful. We move next week so this is the final push to get everything packed. Needless to say I'm not very focused on weight loss right now. Just trying to not gain.

Hi all. I'm Mo (Maureen). I'm looking forward to being a member of the team. I'm not sure what the norms are for introductions, so I'll keep this pretty brief. I'm 62. I'm a professor. I live in Orlando with my husband, dog, and cat. I'm about 20 pounds from my goal weight--but I've been stuck there for a very long time. I've decided I need to make losing those last pounds (for good) a priority. So, a little accountability and support will be much appreciated. And, I look forward to the opportunity to reciprocate as well. I'm a little introverted, but I'll do my best to be a good team member. Thanks for including me!4

Hello all! Hope you are doing well! The Spring is here, the nice weather has arrived!
I have been doing badly & I can feel the effects on my body. The scale is up even more than it was on Saturday. I am determine to get back on track! I hate that I was at goal & now I am back up so much, it sucks!!!
I am starting an 11 day shred tomorrow with my Isagenix group. I am hoping it will give me the jumpstart I need. I have events coming up & I want to look & feel good!
I started this morning off will a high intensity cardio workout. It felt so good to start my day with a good sweat! I am going to try to get back into my early morning workouts. I can do this!
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend & have a great week! 2 -
Hello all! I'm determined to get back on track. I'm married with 2 adult children ages 39 and 37. I'm a retired assistant bank manager and my husband has been retired for 28 years. We're a hefty group and I've decided I need to do a much better job of leading by example and more importantly, take better care of myself.
I broke my tibia New Years Eve 2019 and I'm not 100% yet but I'll get there. The best I've done is 5000 steps a day, my leg swells so easily. With weight loss will come relief from the swelling. As the swelling lessens I'll increase my distance. This is definitely a win-win!
My long term goal is to some day read my medical chart again and see that the words morbidly obese have been eliminated. I'm looking forward to our team's success! I'll do my best to contribute and know I can learn from others. Thanks for allowing me to join.3 -
Welcome Mo & @pizzafruit (do you have a name?)! I'm Melanie, Ashley's other captain half. To be fair...Ashley does most of the work. And does it well.
@pizzafruit I broke three bones in one of my feet four years ago and I've come to the conclusion I won't ever get back to what normal was. But I think as long as you stay active and keep them moving, you can still do pretty well.
Well, I spent the weekend doing very little (besides being dizzy). I did a great job of eating nearly everything in the house. That has to stop. I'll blame it on stress ... MIL is in the hospital (again) and my husband is getting sucked into the vortex of silly and unreasonable demands. The upside of the pandemic is it puts the kabash on some...they don't allow over night visitors. Last time she insisted she couldn't be left alone and someone had to stay with her...usually expecting my husband to do so...and then would not let him sleep, knowing he had to go to work the next day. Long, irritating story. I am NOT telling it. It would lead to ranting. And, in general, I like his family. Just not their behavior, sometimes. Plus side to losing half your hearing...you cannot hear the phone in the middle of the night.
Anyway, drama all weekend, exacerbated by dizziness and the stupid tinnitus that WILL. NOT. STOP. Sigh. I made a big batch if Spring Minestrone (Moosewood), which I count as a spring summoning ritual (you're welcome!), which I've been enjoying. I also made beef jerky for the first time. It dried faster than expected and maybe too much but I kind of like it crispy.
Hubs & I have signed up for a stupid weightloss program through my health insurance (we've done it before, I don't like it, but points are points) and I'm prepping. It combines IF with low calorie and (purportedly) intuitive eating (No calorie counting...but don't eat blah, blah, blah because they're too high in calories). If I say I'll do it, I have to make SOME effort. I refuse to skip breakfast (that way leads to madness...really, me, angry and cranky) or drink watered down OJ, which they recommend. Other than that, I'll try and that means only allowing very specific snacks (jerkey, strawberries, peanuts). But jerky is super high in sodium and potential migraine causing additives so...made my own low(er) sodium version. Anyway. Be warned, there may be progam ranting in the future!
Just wanted to say howdy!
