Holy crow Sara - your appendix? Yikes! You poor thing--5 days in the hospital must be hell. I hope you have been able to get little naps here and there; it's so hard to sleep in the hospital. Your poor father, getting a message like that! Oy! Well, I hope that you get that leave of absence and anything else that will help. Big, big hugs 🤗
Good morning to Missy and welcome to Britt Green!
I got so little sleep last night, just hurting from the vaccine booster. But, I've got paperwork to do, so I got up. If you hear me snoring at the Cabana Club, just give me a nudge.

A little of my MFP history: MFP SW (Dec 2019)-200 lb, MFP LW (Feb 2020)-142 lb..... my current weight is back up to 160 lb. I was at about 147 lbs this summer & I have gained back due to stress. Needless to say, I need to get a grip. I do really well with MFP as long as I stay focused and check-in!!
Todays goals: -Stick to the meal plan! -NO snacking on my kids snacks/dinners tonight.
CW- 160 lb
November loss: 0.0 lb
Have a great day everyone!
Hi 👋🏻 Welcome to the group! That’s me too on and off MFP but I need to stick with it. Good goals! Meal planning is very helpful.
Thank you so much! Yes, meal planning is a MUST for me. I have 2 kiddos under the age of 5 and I work full time. I'm pretty busy most of the time! If I don't plan ahead, I end up eating junk food. Not good! 1 -
Good morning all! Today I'm sticking to the same goals I set yesterday, but adding one more. It's not raining today, so I should be able to get some walking in! Yay!
Todays goals: -Stick to the meal plan! -NO snacking on my kids snacks/dinners tonight. - Go for >25min walk.

Good morning,
Getting up and walking more around apartment. Using online delivery options is helping a lot.
Have not seen scale in over week - oh well.
Turtle pace but okay with me.
Wishing all a great day. Stay safe and sane out there.3 -
Sara - I hope that you get lots of sleep and heal up soon~~

Happy Wednesday! I did well yesterday and stuck to my goals. There was a drop in my weight this morning, most likely due to water weight. Still a releif to see! I'm repeating my goals from yesterday.

Have a great day everyone! We got this!! 1 -
I walked with the ladies group this morning.....I hadn't been in a while, and so I didn't go as far as usual. Just can't keep up with some of them!
Britt - you and your scale are both going in the right direction! 👍🏻🌺
Sara - how are you feeling today?
Waving to Missy and Tracy and anyone else who stops by later on 👋🏻

Hi everyone! I weighed in the same weight as yesterday. I did pretty well lastnight besides having a couple extra bites of my kids snacks and an extra glass of "mommy juice". No biggy though, I counted the calories! Trying to keep in mind everyday counts, even if the scale doesn't show it.
This Saturday will be a difficult one! We are hosting an early Thanksgiving dinner gathering for my husbands family & it will come with all the fixin's! My plan is to stick to mainly veggies and meat, go light on the gravy & go big on the brussel sprouts. Avoid empty carbs in bread and mashed poatoes. Have very small portions of the "no-no" dishes such as candied yams and green bean cassarole, if I can't resist them. Try not to go overboard on the appitizers and drinks..... But it's Thanksgiving, so I don't plan on being super strict. I plan on trying to send most of the leftovers home with family members, so they don't tempt me later. ESPECIALLY the desserts. So yeah, wish me luck! lol
Hope everyone is having a great Thursday!

Britt - What a great idea it is to have a family gathering on the weekend before Thanksgiving. I hope that you enjoy it!
Sara - Oy! Drains! I know about them 😳 - ugh! Sending you a big bunch of hugs 💖
Missy - gather up the pups and get out there! That number will go down soon. ☀️ I bet they love this weather, except maybe the little white one. 😁
I'm trying to get as much done today and Saturday before my trip on Monday. I cannot leave things until Sunday.

Yes they do! I put the sweater on the little one and I have a carriage for her. She’s so spoiled just wish it wasn’t dark when I got out of work boo. If my job paid enough I’d reactivate my gym membership.
Right now I’m a guest on my friends membership so I can only go when she can.0 -
Hi all! Welp, this mornings weigh in sucked. I'm up 2 lbs..... probably due to the popcorn I snacked on lastnight. Carbs and sodium make me retain water like crazy. Oh well, onward and forward! Have a great Friday everyone!

Good morning,
More sleep last night was very appreciated. Gardeners all day so mp3 is charging as I write. I may knit or read or not.
Got a good meal system down. Now I need to do my apartment walks to balance things out.
TGIF make it a great day. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Hey Missy - what is the name of your little girl with the sweater?
Britt - I am a firm believer in the daily weighing, used along with journaling, in order to learn what your weekly swing-range is. Just Keep On Tracking. It's essential for daily weighers to zoom out and track the big, overall picture.
Miss Sara - good for you on the sleep. Sleep heals us. 🥰
Does "gardeners" mean continual, annoying, loud, gas-operated leaf blowers? If yes, then Ugh.
🌴Ladies, it IS Friday, and that means that Giorgio and Alejandro and all of the Cabana Boys have a wonderful Happy Hour prepared for us! 🌺 Foot massages and pillow fluffing and dancing are all lined up. 🍇 Special requests will be immediately honored 🌴

Good afternoon,
Weighed myself and I am 10 pounds lighter - tells me how much water I was retaining.
Food is becoming a little more attractive and there is more of a routine.
Wishing all a great day. Stay safe and sane out there.3 -
Wow - I almost missed today!
Sara - I hope that your appetite comes back soon. Being sick/recuperating is not fun.
Missy - That sonogram is a tad creepy! 😳

Hi all,
I'm definitely a serial starter, but to be fair to myself, several of the slow starts have come after illnesses, injuries, etc. I had a little rainbow baby 14 mos ago and I was doing great, until I tore something in my abdomen doing farmy things. I'm hoping I'm mad and focused enough to get to a healthy size, though I don't have a clue how I'm going to get my cardio in with a toddler who hates confinement. I crave accountability, even if it's from strangers and I am straight up addicted to eating out. I needed to say that out loud so maybe I'll dent that habit a bit(?) Thanks for listening 🤪1 -

Hey Tracy - have you been rehearsing at all for your play, or will that start up in earnest after Thanksgiving, being y'all are on book for it?
Waving to Missy and Sara and everyone who stops by later on~
I don't have that much that must be done before I leave tomorrow, but the clouds are moving in, and I have no energy or oomph!

Good morning, Cabana Crew,
We have been practicing since mid-October, Lana. However, we are off this week and the play is next week. Rehearsal next Monday through Wednesday. Performances Friday through Sunday.
We had to take a break next Thursday because half our cast belongs to the community choir and their last rehearsal before cantata is that night.
Wishing everyone in the US a happy Thanksgiving! For those in other areas, hope your week is filled with happiness and laughter as well.
Do the best you can in your situation.
Tracy in Tennessee
