@JbeanR0212 love the rivalry! You lost 2.6 to @ajdvegan 2.5. ☺️ Must be the extra day after she posts where you can fast for a few hours to get that extra once. 😉2

@Daffygirl88 It‘s “cheeky rivalry” as she put it 😉. Honestly not feeling well enough to and I’d rather applaud her win. TMI but currently dealing with a very heavy cycle so I don’t think it’s all a real loss (at least not all of it). Been battling severe anemia so between the fatigue and all the iron about to clog the pipes it’ll rise back up. Not brave enough to push my body any further at the moment, I need protein.
* Tried to keep this private and morale up. Was just voted MVP for GoT so sitting on the bench stings to put it mildly. Got quite the lecture from my doctor yesterday. Symptoms are slowly lifting though.2 -

Hate to hear that you are not feeling well! What did you tell me missy!!! Listen to your body and rest when you need to! You are always there for us and our motivator, please let us do that and be there for you
Prayers it doesn't last long and you are back to feeling normal 😘 3 -
Thanks @mooreshelly09, don’t have much of a choice but to listen right now. Sue is kinda right though, there have been weeks in the past where I saw Amelia kick it and had a low fat/low protein/High carb day and busted out some extra cardio in an attempt to catch up 😂.2

@JbeanR0212 I hope you feel better soon. 😔 Give your body a break, you've been going at it pretty hard for the last couple of months. Take a short break and come back stronger! Hugs3

Daily Post: Wednesday
Track: Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: No
Comments: I made a goal to try and walk for ten minutes every other day (I’m super new to exercise and morbidly obese so baby steps!), but I did not get it in yesterday. My best friend is in hospice and I’m trying to spend as much time as I can with her. ❤️3 -
Hello to my new weight loss friends! I’m so excited to be in TBBT! My name is Nancy and I’ve been a MFP member off and on for a long time. I was very successful with a 75 pound weight loss using the MFP tools, but what REALLY helped me was to be in a group (like this!) with wonderful people (like you!) who pushed each other (again, you!), understood setbacks (yeah, you again), and held one another accountable (yep, like you).
I retired last year, but that did not last long. My alma mater high school found out that I retired and called one month later to ask me to take the choral teaching job there. So basically I retired for one month. 🤣 I now teach in the same music room that I sang in back in 1981!
I am also a professional vocalist and musician, so my life is crazy busy, which is why you’ll see me usually posting after
midnight.
The shoe dropped in May when I was diagnosed with diabetes. I decided to get my life together. Also, my chorus is going to Italy in the spring to sing for the pope! 🤦🏻♀️😳 Which means I have to fit in an airplane seat. Ooofta. I did not plan this, the prez of the school did. I’m excited but PETRIFIED of the plane ride and walking non stop there. Yikes.
So if you actually read through all this, you’re definitely a trooper. 😆 I promise my future posts will not be this long! I just wanted to share with you what makes me me. 😊6 -
@JbeanR0212 sorry to hear you aren't feeling well!
Well done on the great loss. Now is the time for rest... And treats.. lots of treats and resting.. 😏2 -

Under: yes
Exercise: yes - 1 hour PT (and yes I’m claiming it, he made me sweat harder than I do at the gym 😂) spin class and then a few minutes on the stair climber to get my stairs for GoT!
I promise I’m going easy and do ask and get permission from my therapist before I do any exercise.
It’s so great when you find a good PT that makes you sweat! Heck yeah I would log it! You may just inspire me to return to my PT for my knee. ❤️

@therealbluenote it’s nice to virtually meet you Nancy. I’m really sorry to hear about your friend. I lost my best friend of nearly 25 years suddenly in May (stomach flu, aspirated on vomit)….. it’s a tough loss to endure!!!! You have a great goal along with the right plan and gusto to get there, lop up every moment you can with your dear friend. You are absorbing alot and I hope you don’t loose sight of yourself in the midst of it all. Sending you big hugs!2

Lots of treats 😂 and maybe some of that cheeky sangria! 🍹😁1 -
@therealbluenote Glad to meet you Nancy! What a great goal to work towards! Take it slow to avoid injuring yourself. The weight didn't go on overnight and it's not going to come off overnight. It's great that you're starting with 10 minute walks. Do that 1 or 2 times a day and when you get comfortable with that try 15. Don't take on more than you can handle safely. 🥰3

Anyway Grandson #2 arrived last week, on my BIRTHDAY no less! 🥳🥳 So I am in VA meeting him. 🥰 No access to my exercise equipment and little tracking of food. Will deal with the fallout when I get back to MD.
I will be popping in to say hello periodically so keep up the great work!
Awww too cute!1 -

Nice to meet you! He definitely works me. He knows I was very active before injury and is definitely kicking my butt to make sure I get full range of motion back. Welcome aboard ❤️
