@tammymccrady6278 Yes men will totally use MFP as a dating/hook-up place. I have this group set in my toolbar so I rarely click the main page and yesterday I did and I had 6 friend requests. All from men. I will always look at their profile and if they have nothing written and the only friends, they have are women then instead of being their friends, I become friends with the decline button. One dude even had a naked woman as his profile pic. Definitely a decline on that one! When I send a friend request to someone, I will also include a message. I expect the same from most people.

Hi Team! Just a quick check in because I’m tired. Today was a good day as far as exercise, food, and the sugar challenge went. Hubby had an appointment with his audiologist, which he has neglected to go for several years and his hearing aids haven’t’ been working. No, it’s his ears that are worse. So, now he has to get new ones, and spending the money is hurting his soul, but I’m insisting. The audiologist said that in elderly people, and my husband is 78, that mental decline can often be a direct correlation with hearing loss. Well, that can’t happen!!

In the 140's now. 15 pounds to goal. Am weighing daily now. Do find it easier for me to deal with fluctuations. Although I have been at 149.7 for 3 days (so I know it is a "real" loss not just a blip). Typically. I stay at the exact same weight for a number of days before showing a change, which sometimes is a blip up and then a loss. Bodies are strange,!

@TeresaW1020 That's interesting about the mental decline and hearing loss. I'm glad you are putting your foot down and making him get new hearing aids!

@jan110144 Way to go! Yeah, bodies are strange lol.

Hi all. I was so hungry at work in the afternoon but I did not go to the cafe or the vending machines. Today, I will be sure to pack some Babybel light cheeses and grapes to snack on.

My phrase for the year: CHANGE HAPPENS

@TeresaW1020 My son will be 16 at the end of October. He is playing senior 9 man football.

Yesterday got my 5 km walk in during football practice and today did walk/jog intervals. Feels good to get it in before 7:30 am eating was good yesterday. Slowing getting back on track. Hope to get in a 10 min abs workout at some point today as well.

Hi, After the celebrations this weekend, now I only have a short week to get back on plan. Exercise good, food tracked today. I don't like where my weight is after the weekend, but we'll see what the scale says Friday. All sweets are gone from my house!

Lisa

@jan110144 Yup, bodies are strange. Mine does the same sort of thing and drives me nuts but we just gotta accept it.

@trooworld Wow what a great NSV not to go to the café or vending machines even though you were hungry. Yes, bring your snacks!

@renaegry You are doing great getting back on track. Do you find that your eating is better during the day when you can do a workout early?

@Tammymccrady6278 Gardening is definitely great exercise and you will have something lovely to look at as you run your sore muscles.

@Cornanda Good job on getting the sweets out of your house. Just do the best you can and accept what Friday will be.


Hi Team! Today was a good day. I went and trained for the bookkeeper job at the church. There sure is a lot to learn! Next week, we start with me actually doing the work and being directed. I think I will learn it much better by actually doing it. Food was good today and I stayed away from sugar!

Sadly but not surprisingly I maintained. I had been stressed out most of the week, I find I can go off the rails with stress. I put the brakes on yesterday and got back on track, but it was disappointing:(. I was looking forward to getting back to the gym this month (it has been almost 2 years, I seriously miss the gym) but our numbers are skyrocketing here. UGH 😩

@laurelfit57 I miss the gym too. Unfortunately, I am in a state with less than great vac rates and the gym is full of people in the age range less likely to get vaccinated. Not sure when I will go back. In the meantime, I have gotten a home rowing machine (my favorite gym activity) and have strength and stretching routines I do at home. Not quite the same, but it is working.

So many factors played into this weight gain. On to another week 😊

Sounds like you actually did a pretty good job during a tough period.. Not much of a "gain" ... fits well within the normal daily fluctuations.

Up at 445 every morning for sons football practice. Starting to catch up with me. Just got in a 3.64 km 35 min walk this morning. Plan on doing some bench presses and an ab workout sometime this morning.

@TeresaW1020 thanks. The one good thing with you so early is earlier bed which helps on the evening snacking. Not home till 9am so that’s when I get breakfast in. Rest of the day seems to stay on track.

@GabiV125 yes I have noticed. Have had 5 in last few days. I usually only accept the ones that have a profile pic that looks legit. Once friends browse thru fees. Then decide whether to keep or delete.

@GabiV125 Yeah, I’ve been getting more friend requests too. It’s annoying but I just keep hitting the decline button. You can go into settings and change your privacy settings to where only your friends can view your profile. That might help.

@laurelfit57 Stress can definitely affect our weight and the good news for you is that you maintained and didn’t have a gain. Sorry about your numbers being so high in your area. Hopefully, this thing will run its course and we can get back to something that looks like normal.

@trooworld I know you are bummed about the vending machines but I’m so glad you are acknowledging the days you didn’t go to the machines. We so often don’t do that with ourselves do we? I hope you have a very enjoyable few days off.

@askewcr Happy birthday!! What a sweet hubby you have! Renewing your commitment as many times as you need to is awesome! What isn’t good is giving up on yourself. So, as long as you don’t do that then you are learning, growing, and moving in the right direction.

@Cornanda I’m with you on the scale going up every day. I’m not even sure why mine has other than I’ve been lifting more weights since getting better from having Covid. I don’t know, girl. We just gotta keep doing our thing and eventually, the scale will catch up to our expectations.


Hi Team! Today was pretty good. I went to work for my weekly staff meeting and then I cleaned the one building. I had to come home early and take my mom to her eye doctor's appointment. I just sat in the car and did my Bible study homework for tonight. I came face to face with some candy today at work and I thought about having some, but then I remembered how upset I would be with myself and how well I’m doing on this no sugar challenge. So, I said no and walked away. If I could only just do that all the time.

@askewcr Happy birthday!

The food bank farm seedlings for fall were planted so no watering a few times a week, feels weird not to go but I'll still do volunteer days. My Dad's 77 birthday is this weekend so I'm getting his gift together. Latest medical hurdle is my insurance will only cover my medication a week at a time which means loading up my walker, getting it out, waiting in line to show my ID. The pain clinic has never heard of insurance doing this after the initial month which I've done so I filed for an independent medical review and haven't had medicine for over a week as it's been 2 weeks since my last appointment. It's more that they're making a disabled person in pain do this despite my treatment plan by their doctors that chaps my hide, I'm fighting it more out of principle than really wanting the medicine. I was dumb to think the hassles would end once I had a doctor.
