Hmm...you guys might enjoy the novel Taken for Granite. It is a romance where the love interest is a gargoyle.minstrelofsarcasm wrote: »@minstrelofsarcasm my degree was in geology, it does rock! I'm currently wearing my favourite hoodie which says 'of quartz I love geology', lol.
Can't take humor like that for granite!
I'll see myself out now...4 -

Hi everyone Im Tammy I need your help, something very hard to say but I do. I need a person to be accountable to. I want to live a long happy life with my husband and possible grandchildren someday. Im 50 yrs old and lost a lot of weight 3 years ago. 60 lbs to be exact. But I had an accident and fell out of a hammock, my huge dog jumped up and broke it. I didn’t walk from April until November. I ate and drank what I wanted. I went to therapy every other day and she has me walking again and ready to start losing the weight and to get moving. The only problem is Ive tried to do tjis several times for the past year but have no motivation.
This last yr I lost my 6 yr old dog unexpectedly that I loved so much and two uncles. I dont have any friends because we moved. Sit home all the time no one but my husband to talk to. No real girlfriends that talk to me. And my daughter is 16 with a boyfriend so she dont even know me anymore, no time for mom. And my parents are getting older and fragile and I see them slipping away. Several friends and friends of friends died of covid. And depression set in, and I have panic attacks. So Im having trouble with motivation and staying on task. Im tipping scale at 260 and have high bp cholesterol and pre diabetic and starting meno. Im not myself, I use to play volleyball basketball 3 years ago. So Im not happy when I look in the mirror seeing who is staring back at me.
This pic has a new puppy that Im getting on the 21st. So I need to get motivated.
So after all that I want more….I want to lose not just lose but I want a life style change. I put a program together for myself for food intake and exercise and therapy and self soothing. Im ready to go!!! But very nervous.8 -

Happy New Year Everyone!
I’ve been on a bit of a plateau again, bouncing up and down a couple of lbs. so this month I’m really working on consistently working out and eating abit better. rumour has it Ontario is putting in more restrictions again so I’m really hoping they don’t shut down again, as that was my serious downfall last time.

January Week One
Weigh In Day:Tuesdays
PW (Previous Weight): 169.2 (December 21st)
CW (Current Weight): 166.8 (January 4th)
LTD (Loss to Date): 67.2 lbs
VERY mixed feelings about this week's weigh-in.
+ This is the lightest I've been in a loooooong time
- Partially due to a stomach bug I had during my holiday break
+ But the stomach bug definitely served as a good reset after all of my holiday overeating
- Although it delayed my return to the gym by several days and disrupted my appetite
So, yeah, mixed emotions. We'll see if it sticks around next week. If so, awesome. If not, that's cool too. For now, my focus is falling back into my routines, rehydrating, and paying close attention to my health in the event my MS stages another surprise attack.
And now for official team business...
A Review of Team Functions
For those on the weight-loss team -- Try to weigh in on your chosen weigh day
- If you cannot weigh in on your chosen weigh day, weigh in before Sunday morning to have your weight included in the team results
- If you need to change your weekly weigh day, just let us know and we'll take care of that for you
- If, for some reason, you cannot weigh in, ask to be excused
- If you do not weigh in and are not excused, you receive an NWI (non weigh-in) - 2 NWIs in a row lead to being dropped from the team
- If you cannot weigh in for a long period of time, or are facing some health/family/life issues that would cause weighing in to be inconsistent or stressful, ask to be moved to the support team
About the support team -- You are not required to weigh in, but you can (and should!) check in with us to keep the team updated - we are here to support you, regardless of what you're going through
- You can come back to the weigh-loss team at any time without leaving Team WeightNoMore
Join the Step Challenge!- Keep track of your steps and post them here! (Either as a daily count, or a weekly Sun-Sat total)
- Results are posted every Wednesday for the previous week - which means you need to post your numbers before then
- Anything is better than nothing! You are only competing against yourself, and little improvements add up!
You are under no obligation to post more than your weigh-in once per week. But you are welcome to share your victories, your struggles, your weird thoughts, your motivational pictures...
If you have questions, post them here.
If you have answers, post them here.
We are a team, we are here for you.4 -
I finally forced myself to check back in with Silver Sneakers and chose a walking exercise yesterday. Now to keep it going and join at least two classes a week. I was doing circuit training a few months ago but the holidays happened and I just stopped. I have been taking short walks most days so I didn't completely stop! Just have to keep on keeping on!4

Happy New Year team. I’m Sheryl from Michigan and I think I missed my weigh in last week but I’m motivated to get this new year started out on the right foot! Welcome all and let’s have a great January 😀😀5

@melaniedscott that book sounds hilarious, I love a good spoof.
Had another good exercise day today; have just been running and played padel for an hour earlier. Definitely over ate though, but am still on holiday with my dad (who loves to cook) so it's to be expected. I'm trying to stack my good habits, so this week I'm just concentrating on cutting out sweet things which I've done so far, and haven't had anything except fruit, even when everyone else at dinner was tucking in to Christmas cake! Next week I'm going to continue with that aim and also add in another, maybe no snacking? Or upping my water intake? Haven't decided yet. It has to be doable on a plane as I'm flying back to Singapore from the UK on Monday, so giving up beer when it's going to be free on the plane is a no-no! No alcohol will definitely be the goal the week after though.
I'll definitely join the step challenge, I love my garmin watch and am going to try and get my 10,000 in everyday, which will be a challenge when I'm flying and in quarantine (just for a day) afterwards though!4 -

I really need a accountability buddy during this journey. I have no support here at home. So much junk food here, hard not to grab it when I get down and out. So not sure if you team up with a buddy or not.5

Send friend requests to other people on the team! We're pretty good about supporting each other. And if you'd like to use our team to the fullest extent, please feel free to post daily goals, how you're feeling, what you're struggling with, etc.
You can also use the Group Habit Tracker if organizers help hold you accountable.
You're not alone, you got this. Just gotta take it one decision at a time.1 -
