@askewcr I am always up in weight the day after I work out. That is why I switched my weigh in day to Sunday, I don’t usually do gym days on the weekend.

@amioc I am sorry to hear that you have Lyme disease, I have heard that that is brutal!

@trooworld I love your attitude about moving on! That is the only way to do it. Sounds like you had a fabulous meal planned! Seriously, you and your husband make the most appetizing meals! Your meal prep for the week sounds delicious! Lots of blue dots coming your way!

@katmary I would have been right there with you buying those plants! Lol I spent all today working on my little tiny piece of greenery, it was fun! Would you share your belly dancing workouts? I really do need to do serious core work!

@micaroo4 you just talking about ticks makes my skin crawl😯. We did not used to have ticks here, but over the years it has warmed up enough for us to be blessed with them 🤮. My garage door is the same as your house door and last week I could finally shut it and it would actually connect!

@Cornanda an uneventful weekend in Florida sounds heavenly! Anything uneventful when it is warm, is rather like a slice of heaven!

@TeresaW1020 oh my word, you and Joe have been through the wringer! I can’t believe the energy that you have, after all you’ve been through and you come home and clean the house and pay bills, I think I might just collapse on the couch! Please know that I am sending all of my best wishes and prayers for you both!

Sorry I have been MIA. My hockey team has made it into the finals and every second night they have been having a playoff game not ending until 11 or 1130 at night, I am getting way too old for this😜.
I was super surprised that I lost a little weight, I think I will just keep on with the 1500 cal for the time being and see how that goes.
It was a beautiful day today and I was able to get some yardwork done, which was desperately needed! I am now going to try to stay awake until 9 o’clock and then pass out

@broncobuddee Sorry!

@laurelfit57 Thank you and believe me collapsing and doing nothing is what I would love to do, But I have to try to keep as much order in my life as possible or I will go crazy. Yayyy for your winning hockey team and for losing a little weight this week. Enjoy the time outdoors.

@trooworld I have got to go buy some pineapple because every time you talk about it, I want some!!

Hi Team! Today has been another crazy one. When we came home from the hospital, they gave us enough catheter kits to get through this morning. They told us that Home Health would be bringing them out today. So, I called and found out that they don’t do that. They were only coming to teach us how to do the cath. Yeah, I already know how to do that thank you! So, I canceled those people and got on the phone with our doctor and the urologist's office only to get the answering machine over and over again. Tried to call the hospital and they were no help. So, I put Joe in the car, and we drove to the urologist where they told us that they need to put in an Rx and someone would be calling in a day or two to set up mailing them out. In the meantime, they gave us some samples to last until Friday morning. Seriously annoyed is an understatement for how I have felt today. Plus, Joe is confused about everything and keeps asking me the same thing over and over. We have an appointment with his primary next week and I’m demanding a complete cognitive workup on him. I hate what has happened to my brilliant husband, but I can’t sit and wallow in it. I am the only one to take charge of his health and that is what I will do. I’m also trying to get back on track with my health. I haven’t worked out in over a week and the scale was up this week as well. But I’m not giving up and I’ve done well today with my eating and fasting. One day at a time right!

Life sucks monkey butt right now. Have gained and gained and gained. Sorry to bring the group numbers down.

Life is a bit stressful for a lot of people right now. I wish you all the best. This is where those emotional lessons are supposed to kick in. But I have noticed that even for me, it's hard to pause and remember. Those old habits are so ingrained. First line of defense when hungry is to drink something that does not contain sugar. Lol this finally kicked in today. I also try to drink a big glass before eating my normal meals, so I feel full sooner.

I had that procedure done on Friday and it really stressed me out which gave me a flare. I did not know that a tube with sensors on it could be put up one's nose and down into their stomach. I will get my results on June 16th. But yesterday I was ravenous and today was going to be the same, I'm drinking my iced tea today. I've been eating an extra bite of this and that. But I must remember that I am the driver and to keep both hands on the wheel. 🚙 Easier said than done that's for sure!!!

Good morning Team! As you all know, I have been dealing with a lot of stuff now that I'm learning how to be my husband's caregiver for all his ongoing health issues. I don't see an end to the new life I am trying to learn and accept. And that is OK! I'm strong and have a really big God that is going to help me adjust to this new normal and whatever else comes along.

Having said all that, I have been feeling a lot of guilt that I can no longer captain this team as I would like to. I don't have the time and frankly, I don't have the energy. And you deserve better! So, I have reached out to our awesome motivator @trooworld and she has graciously agreed to step up as your new captain!

I know she is going to do a great job as she continues to support each of you in your weight loss journey. And I am NOT going anywhere! I have no plans to leave this wonderful team that I have been a part of for over three years.

So, please join me in giving a @trooworld a HUGE thank you for taking over as your new Slimpossible captain!!

I fully expected to gain weight this week. I can do better, but... but.... I really want to eat that extra popcorn and fruit. Arg! This should be easier after all this time. Ok I want to be at 155 next week I will work towards that. I'm a bit tired of going to the doctor's, I had a Wellness exam and Bloodwork done today. On Friday I talk to the Nurse, Saturday I'm getting my new Crown at the dentist. Next week a mammogram. I have Stage 3 kidney disease; I have no idea what that means I guess I will look it up.

@trooworld sometimes life just gets in the way of our best intentions! I know you’ve got this. Yay trooworld on your captaincy ❤️. Thanks so much for leading the helm!

@TeresaW1020 I am so glad that you are taking the time to focus on you and Joe! Definitely thinking about the two of you!

@Fushiakat Huge congrats on your loss! You are almost down to the bottom half of the 150s!

Not the best day yesterday and today for eating, I’m afraid this job hunting is stressing me out. I am going to a dinner theatre for brunch tomorrow with a friend, so I’m afraid my eating won’t be much better😩. Need to get back on track

@TeresaW1020 Thank you for your leadership of the group. You have done a great job!
@trooworld Thank you for stepping up to take over as captain!

We made it overseas and have been eating continuously for days now 😂. Saturday we will travel 19h so next weight day could potentially be anywhere.
Life is good… and very tasty 😋.

Didn't do as much exercise this week, but my eating has stayed in line, thankfully.

@GabiV125 have a great time!

@Cornanda Glad you slept good last night, a long walk is still great exercise! I think sometimes we get used to doing a lot of exercise so that we discount the “smaller” stuff when really it's a lot. Glad you're having fun with your son, my mom said we leave when we're finally getting interesting once.

@trooworld I hope being home helps with the blue dot!

@vegan4lyfe2012 I haven't heard of Healthi, I hope you'll still be coming here too. That's a decent price, I hope it's just what you need. I can't imagine being an empty nester after so long but I do think it will help not having junk food around. I had a coupon for a free Big Gulp so I have to admit with a 7 11 on the corner it's very tempting to stop for a Diet Pepsi now! I used my free coupon then was going to use the second and couldn't find it, I'm back to kombucha instead today though.

Hi everyone, happy Thursday! We're up in the 90s already so summer is around the corner. I went out for fruit, I normally wait a little later in the season but thanks to @FushiaKat getting strawberries and cherries (thank you!) I'm on the summer fruit kick. I went to the store just for fruit today and came home with mangoes, strawberries, and blackberries. I made skinnytaste's Greek pasta salad and tomorrow I'm making broccoli salad for a neighborhood annual board meeting and potluck so this is definitely summer salad time around here. My therapy stretches/exercises aren't too bad, there's one that's already helping a lot then I just can't push it with some things I was hoping to get back to. Not much else new, had my charity board meeting tonight. My weight's up I'm assuming from inflammation from the flare but it's a little annoying when I haven't weighed for a month and have been sticking to 1400 calories to be up 3lbs. Anyhow, life goes on, have a great Friday! Funky Friday means a workout to Prince, The Time, Rick James, and taking it to Funkytown, woot woot!

@Cornanda I hope you start to feel better and won’t come down with the dreaded Covid. That is great that your son has turned a corner on his teenage angst and that you are able to enjoy his company more.

@vegan4lyfe2012 That is great that Hunter is ready to move out on her own. Yes, it will be a huge adjustment for you but it can also be an exciting time where you can focus more on yourself and your goals. Switching up your plan is a good idea and I hope you really enjoy the new Healthi site and tracking. My husband also wanted me to thank you for the sweet card you made him. He was very touched.

@Katmary71 I have been craving fruit lately too and need to go get something. I passed a guy selling watermelons yesterday and really wish I had stopped to buy one. I love broccoli salad and have made it before for potlucks. Always a big hit. Going to Funkytown sounds like a ton of fun! Prince, The Time, and Rick James is my kind of music!

@trooworld I had a bad day of eating yesterday too. But today is a new day! I’m having a Keto taco pie for dinner. Ole! LOVE that graphic! It’s easy to want to blame the food and not take ownership of our own behaviors. Thanks for the reminder.


Good morning Team! Life has been hectic as usual. Fortunately, Joe is feeling better and yesterday he celebrated his 79th birthday. Neither of us can really wrap our heads around that number! My eating hasn’t been the best because the day before one of our friends brought us mini chocolate Bundt cakes for Joe’s B-day and yesterday another friend gave him a homemade apple pie. I suppose I don’t have to eat any of it, but…:D I’m behind on my Never Binge Again program so I’m hoping to spend some time on it today since I actually don’t need to leave my house. Yayy for that!
