Hi everyone, not much new to report. I went to the holistic pain group to get my supplement and I'm going to be used as a subject for their class on Sunday which means I have to tell what happened to me in front of a group which is horrifying, I'm trying not to think of it or I'll get too nervous to go and I can't be that big of a chicken because of a phobia so I'll make myself do it. I'm guessing it's the same crew as last time and they're doing Chinese medicine so I'll shake like a leaf for a few minutes then they'll treat me for free and I'll get over it. Tomorrow's the food bank farm then they're having another appreciation BBQ. Last time a new church took it over so most of the volunteers stayed away, I tried to make sure some would go this time. The people from the church are cool it's just not the volunteer crew. I signed up for a William Hof Meetup Zoom Sunday morning so maybe all the breathwork will help my public speaking phobia. Workouts are still fairly good, I'm doing a workout challenge this weekend so I have to bring it in the morning tomorrow. I'm off to watch The Conjuring 3, have a great night!2

Hi from Wisconsin!
My weight drop this week was a pleasant surprise. I was up quite a bit and expecting about a 1 pound loss based on my daily weights. The down whoosh made me happy- all the way back to my newest low weight. I got on the scale twice to be sure it was right!
My dear MIL was told to go easy on the treats while we were here. So she "only" bought 12 cupcakes, 2 dozen cookies, some danish and an angelfood cake. We are here for 2 days.
I haven't eaten much of it. We'll see what my Mom does when we get down there tomorrow.
Happy weekend!

@davidji82 Congrats on yet another loss, well done!
@TeresaW1020 I think you should! LOL I'm glad you are enjoying your new phone. Sorry about the gain. What would I need to do for the 100-day challenge? Explain more please for us.
@murdog3t @TheGlwUp @laurelfit57 @davors19 @tammymccrady6278 Well done!
@Cornanda Zowie girl, well done! What did you do differently this week?
@Katmary71 I have a public speaking phobia as well. I tried going to Toastmasters for it but it was just too anxiety-provoking and I had to stop going. I hope the class goes well today for you. Enjoy your weekend!
Hi all. I'm still working on being consistent with my chosen healthy habits. It's not easy to change some of them as I've done the opposite for so long. Case in point: one of my healthy habits is to put my fork down between bites. I do it about half the time right now thanks to starting the healthy habits but my goal is 100% of the time. I will keep fighting for my health.

@Cornanda Yayyy congrats on your whoosh!! I think it happened because I passed you last week and your competitive streak kicked into high gear. It’s on girlfriend. It’s on!!
Wow, I wonder what your MIL would have bought if she hadn’t been told to go easy on the treats! 
@trooworld It really is so hard to break habits that have been a part of us for so long. I still eat way too fast! You have to keep fighting for your health. No one can do it for us, right? I’m going to write about the new 100 Day Challenge below. I hope you will join me!
@Firefly743 Wow, what a great week!
Hi Team! Today was a good day. I did an intense weight lifting program this morning that killed my upper body and arms, which was great but it was very hard washing my hair. Today is football for hubby so he is glued to his TV while I work on my little projects.
You might have seen that I mentioned to @trooworld that I’m going to start a new 100 Day Challenge that will run from Sept. 23rd to Dec. 31st. I would like this to be primarily a weight loss challenge because that is why most of us are here, right? All the healthy habits that we strive for are so that we can get control over our weight and live a healthy and fit life. So, let’s use the last 100 days of this year to make some real strides towards our goals.
I found this tracker sheet that I plan to use. You can print it out or makeup something you like for your own use. 100 Day Challenge Tracker
The rules will be:
1. Write out the goal you want to achieve and put it where you can read it EVERY DAY!
2. Choose the Action Steps that will get you to your goal.
3. Commit to accountability by checking in with the group daily or as often as you can.
We start this Thursday, 9/23. I know that there will be vacations, holidays, and other events that might set us back a day or so, but that is OK because it’s for 100 days!! Are you with me!

Sorry my check in is late. I feel like I am perpetually behind on everything right now.
@TeresaW1020 I tried to look at the challenge tracker, but it would not open.0 -
Quick pop in. Hubby home this weekend. So really haven’t done anything exercise wise. And eating hasn’t been as good as it should. But will get back on track tomorrow. Doing a bunch of yard prep work today so that will be my workout for today.2

I have to admit it's a bit aggravating. It did solidify that I am an emotional eater. Everyday at work is a stresser. I plan in the mornings to go exercise after work. Instead I buy a large bag of chips and go eat it all. Smh3 -
Way to go team on our collective loss👍👍👍1

@Firefly743 @mcmart11 @digger61 Nice weigh-ins!
@TeresaW1020 It really is. And yes, I do have to keep fighting for my health! No, unfortunately, nobody but us can do it. That's when you know you've had a great workout, when it's hard to wash your hair lol! There was an error when I clicked on opening the 100 Day Challenge Tracker. Is the challenge weight-loss based? I don't do well with those types of challenges, it makes me go up instead of down so I'm not sure I will join you...I will think about it.
@renaegry @Firefly743 @Cornanda Congrats on making it onto the leaderboard, well done!
@19shmoo69 I know that feeling. I sabotage myself a lot. All we can do is keep trying to work on our behaviors.
Hi all. I had a relaxing day yesterday. We took the dog for a walk in the morning and then I just kind of putzed around the rest of the day. We ended up eating pizza for dinner but thanks to portion control, I still ended up with a calorie deficit.

Hi all. I've barely checked in all summer and haven't kept up with reading posts so I've got some catching up to do.
I was looking at the calendar and there are only 103 days left of the year and I don't want to waste it like I did the last 4 months. I liked the 100 day challenge that @TeresaW1020 posted last year so im planning to do it again. I'm starting today to give myself some wiggle room; 100 workouts and 100 sugar free days before the end of the year.
I'm looking forward to catching up on posts to see what everyone's been up to. Bye for now1 -
Congratulations to us for being at the top of the leaderboard this week!! Especially to @renaegry, @Firefly743, and @Cornanda!! Let’s do it again this week!
@19shmoo69 Emotional eating can be very hard to overcome. There are some really good support groups out in the world that you might benefit from joining.
@digger61 Wow on the nice loss this week! I hope that it’s not from poor health issues?
@trooworld OK, looking back over what I wrote about the 100-day challenge, I did make it seem more like a weight-based challenge and that isn’t what it should be. We are all different in our approaches, so it needs to be more flexible. For you, concentrating on making healthier choices seems to be a real focus so maybe using the challenge will help you to stay mindful and motivated. I posted a link below for the tracker I’m using.
@bgame4 I have posted another link to the actual site that has the tracker I’m using. See below.
@Jactop Great loss this week! And yes, I remember you doing the 100-day challenge with me last year and you did incredible with it! I love the 100 workouts and 100 sugar-free days! Very ambitious but you can do it. I’m also starting today as well.
Hi Team! It’s a rainy day here but I still went and did my grocery shopping and plan to make good choices for the week. Tonight I’m making my hubby and mom baked ziti and I decided to make myself some ziti too but instead of pasta, I will use cauliflower. I LOVE cauliflower and imagine mine is going to taste way better than theirs.
100 Day Challenge to Better Health! Starts Thursday, Sept 23 to December
The rules are:
1. Decide what you want out of this 100-day challenge and let us know. Write it out so you can read it every day!
2. Choose what action steps you will commit to for the next 100 days.
3. Stay accountable by checking in as often as you can with us. If you stumble that is ok! Just get back up and keep going.
Here a link to the tracker that I printed out and plan to use. I will write my weight in the little squares every day but you can do what you want. Buy some gold stars and give yourself one for each day you do your action steps!

@TeresaW1020 – I like the change you made to the 100 day challenge. I need to focus on changing some habits, so I’ll have to put my thinking cap on…action steps are tricky for me.
@Katmary71 – I’m sure you did fine with sharing yourself with the holistic group. Just think of the people that may be silently suffering and you will be that boost they need to help themselves.
@trooworld – I think any time you actually make small habit changes, it should be celebrated! Even putting your fork down half the time is twice as much as it used to be!
@19shmoo69 – I think most of us are emotional eaters…that’s why we’re on MFP. Is there anything you can do while you’re at work to de-stress? Sometimes for me, it’s as simple as getting up from my desk and taking a quick walk around.
Congrats to everyone on the awesome losses! And DANG @digger61 !!! That’s a crazy loss!
So far, things are going good for the start of this new week. I talked with my daughter last week about her out of control spending on junk foods/snacks and how it affects me to see everything strewn about the living room and kitchen. She’s been quite helpful (shocking) and keeping the snacks to a minimum and most of them in her room. She’s been cleared by the doctor to go back to work (3rd ACL surgery) so now we’ll see if she keeps it to a minimum (she works at a grocery store).
I’m going to get busy thinking about the 100 day challenge…Thursday will be here before I know it!

I like that 100 day challenge idea so I’m going to to do it! That I’m itself is big because I tend to think of my getting healthy in a one day at a time attitude because I am so sick of failure when it comes to my weight that it seemed easier to stick to a day at a time. I do think I can commit to things that are doable though.
1. I want become a healthier version of myself by making baby steps in my life that will lead to me being able to stand up to stressors without falling back on my safety blanket which is food.
2. I am now on a cholesterol pill to bring it down so for the next 100 days I will drink 3L of water a day (which by the way is hard cuz I don’t like water). Do at least 5000 steps a day ( again let’s just say I hate exercise lol) and lastly I want to pick one recipe per week that is heart healthy that will aid in me getting off these pills someday.
I know it doesn’t sound like much to some people but these are huge in my life. I believe with my husbands help and you guys I can do this so that it will become a norm for me and I can then pick others things to change.1 -

I wish there was a way to destress. My employer has issued a vaccine mandate. I do not agree with forcing it for employment. The stresser is all day long I get asked what's my plan, when am I getting the shot, you should just get it, etc.... All day long.0
