Went out and bought some digital scales and they just added 4.6 lbs to my weight 😭 pretty soul destroying but at least I'll have an accurate weight going forward. When I start in Nov what do I need to include in the daily check-in posts?
It’s up to you what you want to post. Some people post exercise, how they did with food, sleep or steps. That’s hard when a new scales weigh more. Can you give me an updated start weight?

All day I have felt bad about quitting the challenge before it even started.
If it's not too late, I'd like to do the November challenge and see if I can do it by myself. If it's not too late! If possible please allow me to stay in the November challenge and in Downsizer group.
Thank you, either way you decide. Blue
We would be more than glad for you to stay.4 -

Good Evening Guys...
The Sports Therapist lady... "KIM" took no prisoners today. She even pulled out the elbows and vigorously ran them fall around my tailbone, trying to forcibly trying to flatten every little nodule that existed... I literally almost cried out for her to stop a few times, I've never quite experienced anything like that before. She should be paid more I'm thinking. lol
Anyhow, I'm really tired... I think I was in less pain after it was all said and done though. So that's good.
Chest, Triceps and shoulders tonight.
I'm making progress again... 9 reps at 80lb DB presses... Progress all around in reps at least. Triceps are making even better progress since switching up to Kettlebell skull crushers, and cable extensions. It was a good weight training session tonight for everyone.
I'm totally whipped out... Good night! lol 😎😆🤗

@Bluetail6 I ask those same questions. Sometimes I ask them standing in the pantry 😅. Waiting 15min and a glass of water also help when trying to decide if I am truly hungry.
Trust me, I get it!! Love the water idea, too.😊1 -

So glad you've decided to stay! I think you will really enjoy this group - everyone is so supportive and inspiring! I've noticed that everyone has their ups and downs, so it's not about perfection! We're happy to have you on our team!3 -
Good evening all.
What a day. Flu shot and covid booster. On the good side is that I almost didn't qualify for it based on my BMI. I was almost to low. That made my day when I learned how low I am.
Check in for 10/27:
Steps - 3110. Got the shots and hid at home. So far no pain but tomorrow is another day. First two hit me hard.
Calories - 1692, or close to it.
Exercise - some arm dumbbells just to relieve boredom.
Tomorrow will be 90F after 66F yesterday. Then 70F saturday. Horrid spike that will probably make us all sick. Daughter got her booster today and wife got flu shot. All of us could be sick tomorrow.2 -
Welcome to our new members and a double welcome goes to @Bluebabygirl58 for joining us twice. Please feel free to ask questions and make comments. We have open minds and open ears to listen to your rants, stories, jokes (though we may not laugh if they are bad) or musings.
On a happier note, I just remembered the calendar. Thursday is National Chocolate Day. Perfect time to raid your Halloween stash for ONE piece. Friday is Hermit Day, which you can become if you wiped out your whole stash. Lol2 -

@Bluetail6
Love those questions. It is something I need to do every time I open the fridge or cupboards at night.
@aussie_girl_del_runner_5
Welcome to the team!
@rlaskey2
Nice loss! Your steps are great. How are you liking the Apple Watch compared to the Fitbit?

Less pain is good. How often do you get to go to the therapist? Improvement is always good when strength trying. I am struggling with bicep exercises in the pool. I love doing triceps and have found a couple of different exercises but I hate doing the biceps. Do you have any areas that you don’t like working? I just need to suck it up and get it done.
@rwood566
That’s awesome your bmi has changed that much. I hope you don’t get sick from your shot. Ok, now I want a chocolate bar.1 -

I did very well in the pool yesterday considering how tired I was. I did have to pause my Fitbit and rest half way through my swim. With my pool water weights I kept my heart rate up 25 of the way minutes. No pool today as I have a doctors appointment for memory testing and results. It is 4.5 hours long.
I am off to put supper in the slow cooker and get ready for my appointment. Have a great day!

The team is a tool in your weight loss toolbox. Do you have any suggestions for the new month? What do you expect from the team? Is there any challenges you would like us to do? What can we improve on next month?

We are looking for two team motivators. If you are interested and would like more information send myself or Megan a message.
