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

    @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.

    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.

    Good morning all! Sorry I've been away a bit. Had the "Big 60 Birthday" yesterday and it was a wonderfully blessed day. Hubby treated me like the queen that I am. :)

    In my head "renewing my commitment" sounds like a broken record but I am as of today. Birthdays make you evaluate many things and being healthy is one of them. I appreciate this site so much. I think I was trying to do too much and just became overwhelmed. It's a new day and I'm ready to live it. Blessings to you all and let's go get it!! B)

    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.

    Thank goodness I don’t have vending machines where I work or I’d be struggling too. 2 out of three days is good. It’s more forward than back right?!

    There have been a lot of friend requests lately. I’m in Ontario Canada and out gyms are open here but a lot of people are still really cautious what with the variants.

    My kids were in high school football and I remember having to get up really early for practices. You sound like a proud mum.

    I’m having a good day today so far. It’s a beautiful fall day today and I truly believe it’s reflecting on my outlook today. Maybe the scale will reflect it on Saturday haha. Have a good one all

    Hi- My weight has gone higher every day this week even though I am mostly back to my normal eating patterns. I find that after a "bingy" time it's harder to get back to my usual level of calories, so I've been working my way down. I've allowed myself to eat back a few exercise calories if I am really hungry. Food intake less each day and back to tracking.

    Next week, hubs and I fly out to visit our parents so that will be challenging as well.

    Good wishes and skinny vibes to all.

    @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. :grin:

    @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.

    Big challenge this weekend. Going to outdoor music festival with 4 friends. No idea what kinds of foods will be available, other than breakfast (have packed food). Have some healthy snacks as well. Goal - just make the best food decisions that I can and have a good time.

    @Katmary71 Uggghhhh I’m so mad for you that you are having to go through so much medical crap. Why can’t they just give you what you need? :angry: I hope your dad has a great birthday!

    @jan110144 Yup just do your best this weekend and mostly have an awesome time! :)

    @GabiV125 Stay safe while traveling. Being a good role model is a good motivator. :grin:

    @leonadixon So sorry for the loss of your friend! (((hugs)))


    Hi Team! Today was a good day. I did my church cleaning and then came home and did some housework and started this week’s homework for my Thursday Bible study. This study is awesome and I really want to devote myself to getting as much out of it as I can. I did lose much this week but seeing the scale in the 175s was a big milestone for me. Now to keep pushing that number down!

    @Katmary71 - Grrrrrr, those doctors! Those insurance companies! Not fun! I pray for you.

    @jan110144 - hope you had fun and found some decent things to eat.

    @GabiV125 - hope the move goes well!

    @leonadixon - So sorry to hear about your friend.

    @TeresaW1020 - well. You caught me! Congrats!!! :)B) (see weigh in.....)

    @trooworld - all those things you are focusing on are NSVs and they are very important. Good to give yourself credit for them no matter what your weight is. And you are correct- one thing I learned at WW is "you can't outrun a fork!!!"

    Not happy with another gain this week. It's time to turn this ship and get going in the right direction! I was closing in on 20 lbs lost. I was getting close to seeing a 6 for that middle number. Feeling disappointed with myself. Nothing to do but try again.

    Plan to have a reasonable weekend- all tracked. Will try to work in some extra exercise this week before we leave on our trip. While traveling, will watch portions and take healthy snacks along.
