    :/ Annoyed with the gain. I was sick over the weekend, so haven't been working out lately. I was hoping my lack of eating from being sick would cause me to lose weight. Any other older slimpossible members find it harder to lose weight once they have gotten older, or maybe it is from being a mom? I didn't think metabolic rate dropped until 50s? I am only 36 :# When I was in my 20s and didn't eat for 3 days I would have lost at least a pound if not two.

    Summer is definitely kicking our xxx around here, with the temperatures AND humidity in the 90’s.
    There’s a park entrance off my street and yesterday took the dog for a walk in the shade. Halfway through our walk we ran into a large group and I took one step to the side, and now I’m bandaged on both legs because of poison ivy blisters ☹️. I should know better, seriously!

    @judiasverdes - Maybe your bod is just confused and hung on a bit to protect itself? Now it's a new week on your journey!

    @GabiV125 - Poison Ivy- yuck! I bet your glad there's no cicadas this year.

    Happy Friday to all!

    My body is liking round numbers the past couple weeks. It makes the math easier, lol. :)


    @micaroo4 I'm so sorry about your kitty. It's so hard to lose them, especially after they've been such a huge part of your life for so long.

    @TeresaW1020 I really hope things improve for you and Joe very soon and I'm sorry you have been struggling with those health issues, it's almost as bad as having them yourself when it is someone so close to you.

    @trooworld congrats on the NSVs!

    Everyone else I don't have the writing fortitude to address this week: congrats on all the NSVs and weight loss victories I am seeing this week! Looks like it's been a good one!

    I've been very busy training for several new positions within my agency. So sorry to always drop my stats and run but my social battery is pretty low most days. I hope you all are well. Keep working toward your goals... I weighed myself mid week and was actually up a few ounces which discouraged me a bit but I kept pressing on and was happy to find a decent loss this AM.

    I have been tracking everything, doing workouts trying to stay under calories, drinking lots of water but i don't understand why I am not really losing it is getting frustrating I have lost .4 pounds I guess I have still lost but after doing all that then some days it will be like a pound or so! I guess it is still a win I need to really watch my snacks that will get me I have cut way back but I really like my snacks!!


    @Cornanda thank you Ruger is a handful but we love him haha!

    @Katmary71 thank you he loves his Peanut Butter treats I feel so bad for him when we have to leave because he gives me those big eyes but I know I can't take him to doctors etc.. and we have just started to get him to go in the car and he is doing ok. He loves the AC it has been so humid here so he goes outside but comes in and sleeps in the AC he loves it!! my cats like to hang out in my rose garden!

    @trooworld He takes up the whole bed he is 94 pounds and very long so he is always kicking me in the head haha! What kind of Dog is Daisy? she is so small that is awesome for cuddling the bigger ones don't really like to cuddle haha!

The fed ex guy drives past and throws a bone in the yard for Ruger almost everyday its like he knows what time and he is outside waiting haha! He is ok as long as he does not come near him hahah!

    @trooworld Way to go on staying away from the cafe! Have fun at the zoo!

    @Cornanda I think that's a great way to look at it, no matter how much you got done you got done more than you would have otherwise and a great week of eating and exercise is awesome!

    @judiasverdes It could be both getting older and moving less being a mom or any other number of things. In general I don't usually lose if I'm sick or have more inflammation unless it's like the stomach flu. Yes it was definitely easier to keep weight off in my 20s!

    @GabiV125 Oh no, so sorry to hear about the poison ivy, that's awful stuff!

    @LeahIsALoser Hope the training is going well, yeah you probably want major downtime when you get home to decompress. Glad you're headed in the right direction again, those increases can be really frustrating.

    #DanielleHeitzenrater You're headed in the right direction but I know it can be really frustrating. With snacking it's hard to cut back too because the routine makes you crave it more kind of like having coffee in the morning. If you ever get any good shots of the cats in the garden I'd love to see them! I'm trying to get Jasper on the leash again, he was doing so well until I took him in the car. Asher I tried it on him and he licked half the hair off the lower body the next week so never again, I felt terrible! There's coyotes here so I don't let them out.

    Hi everyone, time for the weekend! I had way too much citrus and my gums went nuts yesterday, one of the possible risks with CRPS and surgeries is it can spread so I freaked myself out that it was that but I was drinking blood orange tea plus lemon water and tomato sauce like an idiot. I treated it with my micro current a bunch of times and today is better. Did my workout, got my dad a succulent at Trader Joe's, watered at the food bank farm, then have been taking it easy ever since. Tomorrow's the farm and I need to take Asher in to get his nails trimmed which means he'll be scared of me for a month. Have a great Saturday team!

    @Cornanda thanks for the prayers and hugs! <3 Have you started your new job? I’m sure it will be an adjustment, but you will find your groove. Yayy on your loss this week! :)

    @DanielleHeitzenrater your dog is too cute sitting in his rocking chair! :grin:

    @trooworld Glad you were able to get the Tonal working right again. I assume you have good tech support for it if needed? :)


    Hi Team! Well, this week has been a crazy one! Joe ended up back in the hospital on Thursday because the antibiotic they put him on wasn’t working. So, they gave him a much stronger med and we came home yesterday afternoon. In the meantime, my sister’s life imploded on Wednesday, and she needed to move out of her daughter’s home ASAP and has nowhere to go. So, Joe and I talked and said she can come to live here. I actually think it might be a good thing because I could really use the help around here with Joe and eventually with my mom. So, I had to clean out the room my sister will use, which had a huge treadmill in it that had to be taken apart. I gave it to a dear friend and her husband made it happen at 10:30 pm last night. The room also housed all my Christmas decorations, so I rearranged the garage in this awful heat and got all that put away plus some things getting donated to Goodwill. I’m worn out and my sister will be here this evening and we will have to unload her U-Haul full of who knows what! One of my friends asked how I was holding up and I told her that I’m not stopping to even think about it. I’m just in go mode. :#

    @broncobuddee, please move me to support until further notice. I can’t even deal with weigh-ins right now. Thank you! :)

    @trooworld So sorry to hear about your knee, I hope the Ibprofen helps. Have fun with your friend and your husband's birthday celebration! Daisy looks adorable!

    @chd4ever Congratulations on kicking the 240s to the curb!

    @TeresaW1020 Your sister coming to stay with you and Joe may be just what you two need, I hope it's a good fit! It's very kind of you to take her in so fast, I really hope this works out.

    Quiet day, hope everyone is doing fun things and all is going well! I had a busy day, I worked out, went to the farm and spent most the time doing basil bunches then took my buddy from there to the bank and home, went to the farmer's market to get banana mint and picked a few extra things for me and my SIL, stopped at their house, took Asher to get his nails trimmed (took a few hours to catch the stinker), then gave my brother a ride to pick up his car. I went from being the green salad maker for family events to always making Skinnytaste Greek pasta salad, I made that tonight too then spent two hours collecting seeds from flowers to save for next year and took a bath. Tomorrow's Father's Day at my parent's house, my brother was hoping he'd be doing better than he is but he's headed in the right direction, it will still be hard for him to get to my folk's house as it's 30 minutes away so hopefully it will go well. Night gang, have a great Sunday and Father's Day!

    Quick drop in.....

    @TeresaW1020 - I admire your strength. What a week you had! I hope that having your sister with you is helpful. She's blessed to have a sister like you.

    @trooworld- Daisy is adorable. Hope you knee feels better quick.

    @Katmary71 - you put in quite a day yesterday. Hope you enjoy your family today.

    I start my job tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous. Change is always hard for me. I've planned and planned to keep my healthy habits intact through this change. Then, my daughter decided to come home for a couple days (means dinner out) there's a work event Tuesday that involves two meals, and I forgot that I joined a book club and that's another dinner out this week. So. It is what it is. And I am capable of making adjustments as I go along. And I will go easy on myself as I learn to get this new groove on.

    @infamouscandi @RaquelFit2 Congrats on the losses!

    Hi all. Well, yesterday didn't go as planned. It did but I went way over on my WW points because almost everything was unhealthy. :( But the good thing is that I only ate a little bit of each thing. Today is a new day and I'll do better.

    Just one more day in the summer challenge! WHAT CAN YOU DO TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH TODAY AND TOMORROW???

    30-Days to Summer Challenge (May 21-June 21) commitments for yesterday:
    Work out - X
    Drink at least 60 oz of water each day -
    Log at least 2 meals each day - X

    My phrase for the year: "Something needs to change…so I will take no crap and eat no crap!"

    Thank you!🌺🌺❤️🦋
