    I converted for you this week, but in the future, please post your weigh-ins as converted to pounds. It just helps to keep everything consistent. Nice loss!

    It seems like we are all going thru some troubles, kids, fur babies, health, etc. at times there are hard to deal with and we keep finding strength to keep going so this is my phrase for the week: If you cannot find a reason to dance, find a reason to sing.
    Hope you all have a great week.

    Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. My husband took the night shift last night, so I got to sleep at home tonight. Thanks for understanding.

    Hi sorry just a quick post. I’ve been home for almost a week for our two weeks in Europe. I’m happy with the 2 lb gain considering all the pasta, pizza and desserts I had. Lots and lots of walking though.

    Off cross border shopping in Michigan today. Love seeing all the things you have in the US vs Canada. Unfortunately it seems inflation has hit a little harder here.

    Happy Saturday everyone. Anyone doing anything fun this weekend? I get to work, whats new. My coworker/good friends grandbaby was being morn so i picked up her shift today and I always work Sunday.

    Both mine and my sons car is still in the shop but we figured out that my sons cars issues is NOT the head gaskets, thank god. But funny how things work out, my van has some tranny issues so ive been looking for a vehical, now 2 of our 3 vehicals are in the shop, I was using my moms spare and today she called me saying there was a decent SUV that her work would sell me for a good price, so I went and bought a random vehical today 😂

    Hi Jessica,

    Good morning and Happy Sunday! I thought I posted but probably forgot. I didn't log any steps for Sunday 7/31 because I wasn't wearing my wellness watch and that's usually a rest day for me. I checked my watch and I must have had it on in the morning because it does show 133 steps. (Negligible)!

    Hey @angmarie28 I left you an IM but haven't received a response...could be the wonky mail system. Please shoot me an email...want to have a chat when you have a second. Thanks!

    So sorry you're having all this car trouble at one time...it seems it's always something, doesn't it? Hope it gets better soon!

    Point of interest. I did some research online because my scale says my body water percentage is low. Here's what I found:

    The normal range for adult women varies between 45% and 60%. For men, the ideal body water percentage fluctuates between 50% and 65% of the total body. In babies, that number is much higher. The norm is considered to be between 75% and 78%, dropping to 65% by one year of age. I also found this:

    Hey Team:

    Lots of NWIs last week...nearly half. Just a reminder that if something comes up, please send your captain an IM or make a quick posting to let me know you have to work, go out of town, have a family emergency, spur of the moment vacation, etc and I can fill in your weigh in early, sometimes excuse you for the week, etc. Likewise, if your weigh in day isn't working with your current schedule, it's very easy to move you to another day, just let me know. I'm happy to help in any way I can. If your message requires privacy, you can always email me at jakrall@cox.net and I'll help if I can...or at least lend an ear while you vent.

    Hope you're all having a phenomenal weekend and are planning for a great week ahead! I'm not ready for Monday myself...gonna be a BUSY week! (Is there any other kind?!) LOL! WE WILL SURVIVE!

    Jessica
