NON WW & WW NEWBIES, OUR NEW LIFE, THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL

Lol I know there’s a lot going on. Just keep telling myself to just keep swimming as Dori in finding Nemo says. Ha. Yes going to be painting my walls finally. I may have to take some time off to do so.

Hope all the moms had a Happy Mother’s Day!

@cbabie Do you still tap your foot? LOL Try some pink dots. It's fun. Yaaay on your loss.

@gemwolf110 I'm sure your house will look so nice when it's done. Are you getting proper nutrition during this busy time?

@trooworld Yes it's just one day and you could earn some more blue dots this week. Oh no on the leak.

Did not earn another dot as I didn't finish all my water. So just 2 for last week. I'll start over again tomorrow
I also lost 0.4 lbs since last week. I just noticed I haven't entered my weight into MFP since Feb 27. I'm 3 lbs higher since then. Good thing I keep track on my Happy Scale app.

Hello! I know it's been a while and I'm sorry that I can't do replies tonight. I'm just too worn out. I had to call an ambulance for Joe this morning because he has been sick all week and this morning he passed out. He has a very bad UTI, probably due to the catheter. Plus some other infections and his sodium were low again. It took hours to get him to a room and I finally caved and ate junk from the vending machines. But at least I came home to eat eggs and toast and not Chick-Fil-A like I normally do when he goes into the hospital. I wrote to my NBA coach and did my program tasks. I'm NOT going to throw in the towel! Giving up on my dreams is not going to help Joe one little bit. I just have to keep telling that stupid Pig the same thing!

@trooworld Yaaay on tracking your food. Did you earn a blue dot? Yes, focus on those NSVs. Then the weight will take care of itself.

Food was good. Exercise was a rest day but did not earn my green dot because of my water. So still 3 for the week

🟢🟢🟢

@trooworld it still looks like you made healthy choices despite not getting a blue dot. Transformation is now.

@teresaw1020 Have you learned anything new in the Binge program? Self catheterization makes me go OUCH! But needs to be done. I'm glad Joe is home.

No green dot for me. Exercise and water this time. Food was good though. I've been doing really well with that. So we're still at 3.

Good evening!

Hope all is well. It was a pretty steady Monday. I kept saying today that I will take dogs for walk. Well I did and swarming bees in the backyard assisted with that decision. Huskies each got 22 ish minutes bichon only 11 ish minutes. They could have gone for more but it was later as I had to run errands after work and wanted to make sure all dogs got a chance. Home and walked them all in backyard for one last time just before thunderstorms came rolling in. Going to do the same tomorrow but maybe double the dogs up. We will see. Everyone have a great night and hope everyone has a great week if I don’t check in daily as the week sometimes or oftentimes flies right on by.

@theslightedgeforever I’ve been trying to learn and keep up with the NBA program but of course, it’s been hard with this latest issue with DH. I have a coach that I check in with every day through email where I answer a list of questions about how my day went and if the Pig left its cage. I have rewritten my Big Why and have been working on refutations for keeping the Pig locked up. There are several videos that I need to catch up on but unfortunately, this is a year-long program so I will have time. Right now, I’m just trying to keep myself from drowning. What are you using to determine your calorie burn when you exercise? It’s hard to be accurate, so I don’t know if it’s really fair to you. I have done those slow kinds of exercises where you feel a major burn and sweat. Those need to count because that exercise will build more muscle than just burning calories through cardio. So, I would readjust your method so that you get that green dot when you actually do a good workout. 51 minutes of exercise needs to count!

@troworld You didn’t eat what you planned but you are right that making a meal at home is healthier and better for you than ordering a pizza would be. So good job!

@gemwolf110 Do you walk the dogs separately? That would be a good exercise for you! Yikes to swarming bees!


Hello everyone! I’ve been super busy, and I really need a vacation. I’ve been trying to work on simplifying things in my life now that Joe needs me so much of the time. Fortunately, the amazing trooworld has agreed to help by taking over the leadership of our group on Fat2Fit. I’m so thankful!! I’m hoping things will calm down a bit so I can catch up on all the good info in the NBA program. I just need a few uninterrupted hours. Tomorrow, I have a dentist appointment and I am waiting to hear from my hairstylist about when she can get me in since I had to cancel. I told Joe that he better get it together before I fall apart!

@teresaw1020 I use my fitbit for burned calories during exercise. I'm not really interested if it's accurate or not because who knows is the calories ingested accurate. But it's all apart of my formula. Like when I lift weights, I know I need to do more exercise than normal because calories burned aren't as high on those exercise sessions. So I will walk extra minutes to get to the 250. My actual needed is 315 but since I haven't been consistent lately, I restarted at 250 and then I slowly raise it. I know I can be lazy and do 15 min of cardio and then stretching and say well I exercised. That doesn't help me lose weight which is why I set the burned calories goal. If I ever do that video again, I might just put it on my weight lifting days. I'm glad you are getting some self care in. I had some Beast Shriek (Pig Squeal) yesterday. Me and hubby can't seem to get on the same page about WHEN we are going to get some ice cream. I will only eat it on my green days. He doesn't seem to want it on my green days. So he asked me yesterday and for a moment I was sitting there thinking, what if I get the sugar free kind? Yeah, I could do that. Then realized that was just my Beast talking and so clanged the bars loudly and he went back to his corner.

@gemwolf110 I would have the leashes of both dogs wrapped around me tangled. I could just see it. But good exercise though because it forces you to walk.

@cbabie Well glad you are alive and well....who would I have to nag? Yaaay on your weight loss. I take it anyway I can get it.

So no green dot for me again. Ugh! I went over calories by 70. I let the Beast shriek as loud as he wanted while I ate some pizza. Dh had early errands and wanted me to go with him so I did but that meant no exercise and didn't do it later in the day. Only half my water. So today will be a better day.

I took all of your comments to heart and so I've decided that I will give myself a green dot for Monday. My new rule will be I'll allow myself to count exercise towards the green dot if at least 45 min of exercise has been done even if I don't reach the calorie burned threshold of 250-315 but I can only use that once per week. The rest of the week I need to go walk and make it up.
