@TwistedSassette Thanks for your reply on why you eat back your exercise calories and it all made total sense to me. I guess my main question is how do you know for sure what your calorie burn is during exercise? Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that you have a system that is working so well for you, and I might need to figure out something like that for myself now that I’m working out so much harder. I need the scale to start moving in the right direction again and maybe that is a key component that I hadn’t really considered. We also have really overworked doctors here too and most only take the required nutrition course, so it’s no wonder that many get it wrong. Especially with diabetes and other weight-related health issues. My mom is still on a diabetes pill even though she has lost over 30 lbs. by changing her diet. Her BG and A1C are in the normal range. So it’s super annoying to me that they haven't taken her off the pill even though her doctor said she probably didn't really need it anymore! I hope you had a better day today and that your mood has improved.

@19shmoo69 Ohhh so sorry that you are sick! Just take it easy and get better. I’ll be praying for you.

@trooworld Yayyyy for the negative results! And that is great that you are getting better sleep. I can’t sleep hot at all and use a fan on my nightstand pointed at me, a ceiling fan, and hubby turns down the A/C a degree when we go to bed every night. I also only use 100% cotton bedding. In the winter months, I just keep the nightstand fan on and toss covers on and off of me. And yes ma’am I have pre-tracked all my meals!

@laurelfit57 that is great that you maintained your weight even though you had your brother visiting. I love food trucks! I have the Renpho scale and love it. The app is great, and I love seeing all the data. I step on it every single morning.

@leonadixon You are doing great weight-wise considering that you are in pain and the real stress and worry about your dad. Hang in there and please be kind to yourself.

@gwamajtw91 that is awesome that you are staying at your maintenance weight and feel that you can now confidently move to the Maintenance Zone. I hope you don’t need to return to the Slimpossibles but if you ever do then know that we are here for you and will welcome you back with lots of encouragement and support. Take care!


Hi Team! Today was a good day. I began my new workout program 21 Day Fix Extreme and the first workout was Plyo which I used to despise because I couldn’t do any of the jumping. Well, since I tried, and succeeded last week at doing jumping jacks, I gave the other jumping exercises a try and I could do much more than I thought I could. I felt so pumped that I stayed and did day two which was all upper body with weights and resistance bands. After that hubby and I worked together and did some housework and then I started a new 2000 piece puzzle while watching Master Chef. For dinner, I made yummy enchilada zucchini boats. I do miss tortillas, but I don’t miss the carbs!

Since @trooworld already started I thought I better too.

@TwistedSassette I hope you can get a really good night’s sleep and feel better.

@trooworld Wahoo on the weight loss!! Kick some butt at the boxing class.

@Katmary71 Well, I certainly do hope that they research your pain issues and can offer you some real help. And I agree that if you are in that much pain you have to take something for it and let your weight be what it will be. You can manage it some by eating healthy foods that are good for you anyway and do what exercise you can. I think spending some quality time with your girlfriend is also great medicine.

@Firefly743 and @Cornanda Great weight loss this week!!
