Super happy I finally have a decent loss. It's really a huge motivator to have this happen. I am happy and excited to kick some butt and keep doing what I am doing.
@jessicakrall8
Here is my kitty:
Awwww @pupowl what a sweetheart...how in the world did you do training to walk on a leash...I tried with one quite a few years ago and all she'd do was roll around outside...didn't want to do much "walking"! LOL! Thanks for sharing your little baby...so cute!

I guess it depends a lot on the cat, Tinus was pretty easy. It took a bit to get him used to wearing a harnass, he would also roll around at first, and walked backwards a lot. But as soon as he connected the harnass with going outside, he was totally fine with wearing it. The site where I ordered his jacket has some tips: https://www.mynwoodcatjackets.com/lead-training
It's never going to be the same as walking a dog of course, and sometimes all Tinus wants to do is sit somewhere, which is totally fine as well.
Overall he listens pretty well outside.1 -
My response to LAST WEEK'S This or That...yes, I've had a BUSY week:
There's NO argument that holiday movies are awesome on any channel, but there's just something about the filming/production quality of the Hallmark channel's holiday movies that give them the prize...Lifetime can't match it. I'd describe it that Hallmark films like it's a huge movie production and Lifetime films like it's a made for TV movie...if that makes any sense.
Love steak over lobster...love to shop...don't mind giving a speech as long as I have time to prepare for it...got a pretty decent voice...all those years in high school chorus, church choirs, praise choir, university singers and soloist paid off I guess. 0 -
Here's this week's THIS or THAT! Please use the original chart below and highlight your answers. Also, choose ONLY ONE answer for each one...no BOTH or NEITHER responses! If any of the entries leave you with a thought or a story to share, please do so.
Enjoy! Can't wait to read your thoughts this week!

@DreaRN15 I am SO very sorry for the loss of your friend. Sadly, the last two years, we've all experience WAY TOO MUCH loss...I pray you find peace in the happy memories you had with your friend. If you want to talk, we're all here to listen. Your teensy weight gain will come right back off. Stay on track...you're doing well.
Take care,

Thanks So Much for the condolences and the encouragement. Definitely been too much loss from this horrible virus. I'm just trying to get back in the right headspace. I've got work to do...I go back to see my dietitian on the 30th.1 -

I got my head back on straight and this week, I've started off strong. Calories under control, water intake is up, exercise is good, feeling positive...even walked OUTSIDE in the heat at work today (very hard for me to handle humidity)...trying to do 25 miles this month of INTENTIONAL walking...besides my daily 6k steps. Doing well so far...over half way to that goal. 12 miles to go and it's only the 14th. No doubt that I make it...last month was 22, previous 20. I'm edging up slowly each month because I don't want to re-injure my knee.
Please watch for messages where people need you on this team. Even Captains need a little hug once and again. A posting you make, words of encouragement, even a meme or cartoon you post, can make a difference for someone just waiting to hear a few kindnesses. I really love this team...but we all lead busy lives...try to post a few days during the week...even if just to ask a question...you might just generate a discussion that someone else needs as well! The more you give to this group, I guarantee, the more you'll get out of it!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Take care all,
Jessica
I feel bad! You're here for us we should be there for you. I added a calendar reminder for me to log in every other day and check what's going on.
I thought once Sept hit I would be less busy boy was I wrong. I did miss a bunch of readings which is why I didn't respond. I don't know a bunch of the new people on here. So sorry your going through a tough patch. You and me both. I see you have a new car I'm glad they are very soothing. I love there little motors! Have a great week.1 -

I typed a whole reply and then drove my daughter to school and the page reloaded and deleted it all lol.
I lost my motivation end of last month, being on calorie restriction for such a long time wears on you.
I dove back in last week with my plan b which is to order meal plans through the end of the year. I'm using Trifecta, my body has not adapted well to the higher starch veggies they use like carrots, zucchini, squash etc. I actually think I have lost a couple pounds of fat but I am so bloated. My stomach was in knots yesterday. Trying another week and upping my water consumption. The calories of the meals are between 1100-1200 per day. I'm beginning to think my maintenance calories will be around 1200. Trying not to worry about that yet as I'm still many months from my goal, but eating 1200 calories per day I still feel hungry pretty much all the time. Going to ask my doctor about getting prescribed contrave. I will try anything at this point!
I generally don't write much about my personal life. My 5-year-old recently started kinder. I'm sure that's why many people in the group have disappeared. Between getting signed up for art class, after school care, getting in the routine, getting all of the school uniforms, the soccer uniforms, new riding gear, nailing down who's going to drive to soccer practice, school pictures, progress reports, soccer pictures, soccer games on saturdays, there's a parade on Sunday, Spirit gear to buy, dental and doctor appointments to set up, birthday parties, back to school events, multiple fundraisers, and all of this stuff to manage on top of working full-time and being highly stressed out from dieting.
So yay! Happy September everyone. 🤣
@laceyf53 Hope you get regulated in your diet soon...feeling bloated is THE WORST! Also, things will calm down soon, once the new routines with school become "normal"...if there's any such thing as normal now with all the COVID protocols...hoping here in the US that 5-11 yr olds can get vaxxed soon...they're saying by November...that will take some of the pressure off too...everyone is so worried about their kids (and rightfully so)...hope your little one likes kindergarten...how's it going?

Good morning team. I had a really good day. This rarely happens; most of my days are "meh, it's fine" so I was very happy with this exception. I weigh daily and on Friday, I finally lost a fair bit and made it out of the 95 kg I have been stuck in for a while. My gym time at 11:00 works so much better. I have no idea why I was so set on going at the earliest time before. Mornings are really rough for me. The gym is really quiet at 11:00 which is also great. It works well with my food too. I eat at 9:15 - 12:30 - 14:30 and 16:30. This also means there is not a lot of room for a nap so I have a better shot of staying awake.
Then the thing that really made my day was seeing an owl for the first time in my life. I was out in the backyard walking my cat, when I turned around and saw a blob on the roof out of the corner of my eyes. It only took me 2 seconds to realize what it was and then I made a mad dash inside for my camera, begging it to still be there when I got back outside. And it was! I know this may not seem like a big deal to some people, but I LOVE birds and I have been wanting to see an owl for years. And then when it finally happened, it literally visited me, sitting on my roof. It was just amazing. I got to watch it for about 5 minutes before it flew away.
Love this. Inspirational!2 -

Good morning team. I started my Saturday with an early walk. The weather was nothing special, a little grey. There wasn't a lot to take pictures off, but it was still nice to be out. I haven't had the energy to go on walks lately. Doing workouts at home is easier in that case. The rest of my day was spent doing laundry, reading, and watching more hiking videos.

Weigh day Thursday, or Sat Eve. Head down in shame.

I have muscles in places I never thought possible lol. First week at work it went okay. Just got to speed up. I'm too picky and clean way more than need to. If that is even possible? Dumps a bottle of Lysol on a night stand! Lol. Today was a veg day as tomorrow is clean the school day. I am for the school, but I am not looking forward to it.2 -
On a side note my body does not like it when it does not get fruit or veggies for the day. Hence why I am up right now instead of bed. I don't like stress. I need prayer for these weird sleep patterns.2

Hi all,seems like alot of the team are facing tough challenges just try to keep focused on your goals.Its hard not to let your emotions spoil your food choices.Also for some the scales are moving in the right direction which is great.
@jessicakrall8 I think when I sent the message to you I said I was on vacation for 3 weeks & would miss 3 weigh ins.
My steps or lack of them.It is super hot here so I've just been lying horizontal under the umbrella on the beach.Ive read alot of books on my kindle.I have my sling off now & managed to swim a little in the sea yesterday.It was wonderful.

My Saturdays are always get it done days, Sundays I try to rest.
No tent camping for this girl if I can help
it, however I did just volunteer to help
with a girl guide group so I might need to reevaluate that.
Bikinis at home, tankinis in public. I have a very long torso so it really quite hard to find a one piece bathing suit1 -
