@Katmary71 Oh that is too bad that you don’t care for the music director’s style. Is your church big or small? Smaller churches often have a tough time finding people. Our music director is a young man who is also our youth pastor. He has decided to step down from being the music director and since this is a part-time job, we are having a difficult time finding a replacement and we are all worried that we will end up settling for someone. Lots of prayer going on in staff right now for this new person to be awesome. I think you need to take a pic of you walking those cats!

@AustinRuadhain Good job on getting most of your green checkmarks! How long have you been doing martial arts? Did you go to classes to learn?

@mlhopp93 Wahooo on reaching your 95 pounds lost!! I just know that with your determination you are going to rock this month and reach that 100 lb. mark for sure. We are going to have to throw you a party!!

@trooworld Girl, I sometimes think we are twins separated at birth! I also had an amazing loss on the scale this morning, which is great but then I thought about the meals I will be eating the next two days and what that will do on the scale. But you know what? We KNOW what to do and to lose that gain and we will do it!! What a timely graphic! Thanks…I think!

@digger61 Yup, you know exactly what to do to get the scale moving again. Don’t beat yourself up and just do the work.

@Jypsy1, @cailingfry, @frankfindshomes, & @fierce1alicia Good work this week!! Keep it up.


Hi Team!! I was super happy to step on the scale this morning and see a really nice whoosh. I do wonder why those always seem to happen the day before my weigh-in. But that’s ok, I’ll take the scale going down any day I can get it. However, the next two days I’m eating way off my Keto plan and I’m not sure what that will do to the scale. The family wanted me to make my beef stew for Easter, which has turned into two days because I have to be at church tomorrow at 9:30 and won’t be home until after 1 pm. So I made it today and we will eat it for both meals. I will also have red wine and yeast rolls. However, I will only have the strawberry shortcake tomorrow, which was me exercising restraint. But then hubby gave mom and me a little chocolate Russel Stover Easter bunny. Well, what's a girl to do now!!:D I did a good workout, fasted a little longer than normal, and did a bunch of housework so maybe that will help out a little bit.

Hey there, Slimsters!

Quick check-in here. It has been a super busy day, but I stayed on track food-wise, and got in 2 walks and some weight lifting. Woohoo!

✔️Food on plan (Dr F) (7xwk)
✔️Breathing practice (7x wk)
✔️Cardio (6/wk)
⚪Meditation practice -- off to do this now!
✔️No food after 8/9 pm (added "/9" with /9 being Tuesday only)

@TeresaW1020 I know what you mean. I'm up almost a pound from yesterday despite only eating yogurt and berries for breakfast/lunch and then nothing until dinner! Yes, we do know what to do and will do it! Enjoy your Easter bunny and meal!

@vegan4lyfe2012 I am doing WW and I happen to be on the Green plan, too! I wish you luck, I hope you like it!

@AustinRuadhain Hey there! You had a great day, woo hoo!

@apple852hk It sounds like you need a plan for stress. Have you tried deep breathing exercises or meditation? It may help to do either of those. Your walks should help, too.

Hi all. My Easter dinner last night was amazing. I'm up almost a pound from yesterday but I think it's just from the salty food: I only ate yogurt and berries and then dinner, so I really don't think the gain is real. I don't have much planned for today, just getting ready for my work week and trying to alleviate some stress.

My phrase for the year: CHANGE HAPPENS

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!!

@katmary71 I’m only stopping Keto for this Easter weekend. I will be back at it tomorrow morning. I get what your saying about music directors and their style. I still miss the music director who was here when I first joined this church. And I really hope I like the style of our new one.

@trooworld, Yup, my weight was up this morning and I’m sure it will be up more tomorrow morning. I told DH he isn’t allowed to ask me about my weight. I will inform him when the scale is moving again.

@apple852hk Sorry that you are having stress and turning to chocolate. The way you describe how you consume the chocolate bars in one sitting without really enjoying them and just trying to eat them as fast as you can really remind me of myself when I’m on a sugar binge. Sugar addiction is a real thing and there are serious studies that show how sugar is more addictive than heroin or cocaine. It’s no joke and it’s not your fault. There are great resources if you are interested in helping you. Eating more meat and going low carb can also really help with sugar addiction. Just keep doing your best!

@Firefly743 Nice loss this week!!


Hi Everyone and Happy Easter! Church this morning was great. My mom and I watched the littles in the nursery during the first service and then went to the second service. We had every other pew roped off and all the open pews were filled. It was great to see so many people and the pastor gave an incredible message! I came home and made a Keto poundcake to be part of our strawberry shortcake that we will have in a little while. I warmed up the beef stew and yeast rolls for our late lunch. I’m sitting here wanting to fall asleep, which shows that while carbs are tasty, they sure don’t provide me with energy. I’m taking today off from tracking and will be back at it tomorrow. 😊

Ugh! Hit the "Done" button instead of "Post Reply" and list it all! 😫

Happy Easter to all my Christian sisters and brothers! My middle daughter joined my youngest daughter, my mom, and me at church this morning (yay). Then we met up with middle daughter's husband at the theater to watch Godzilla vs Kong. (Super fun movie...youngest daughter and I figured out what would take place a month ago...or at least what better happen...which it did.) I indulged in a small, unbuttered popcorn 🍿 and stayed within my daily points. Having oil-free ratatouille for dinner to counteract it 🤭.

We (youngest daughter) also decided to take a walk today, so we hiked some trails at a County Park. I feel like I've had a good day and I should get some good 😴 💤 🛏 tonight.
