    Hi everyone! My name is Michelle. I’ve been a Slimson since December. I had great success then took a turn in the wrong direction over the summer. Lots of excuses why, the main one being lack of commitment. I’m excited to get my motivation back to where I was and make a commitment to myself to live a better, healthier life!

    Daily Post (Wednesday 8/31)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over by 700
    Exercise: Yes, 45 min weights

    Goals: Today my goal is small, but I’ll build on it. I will drink 100 oz of water, work out for 45-60 minutes, hit 10k steps and stay within my calorie goal of 1200-1500

    Thanks @DebJB30 for that link! It’s a pretty good comparison article. I am trying out loseit for now. I’m still getting used to it, but over all am liking it so far.
    Initial thoughts, It doesn’t track your micronutrients(iron, vitamins ect ect) like MFP and you do have to pay for the premium version to sync your Fitbit. I did pay for the premium, but was able to get a year for 20 vs MFPs 80. I figure I pay that much for takeout sometimes and is less than other apps.
    I like the various icons that display for the food you log, though it does fill up more of the page. I think it’s funny that you can any save a picture of your meal in the log… I wonder if that will affect the size of the app much. I like the various themes as well. Adding recipes takes a bit longer as it doesn’t have an import feature from websites, or the option to add multiplied ingredients at once.

    With that note, I have been logging Mon, Tuesday and today, but have been over calories and no exercise to report. I’m getting another cyst, not sure if it was due to hikes over the weekend or what but I do not approve.

    It's been a rough week to start off. . .so went to bed Sunday night with my legs swollen woke up same condition on Monday but still workou gave myself a rest yesterday because they were still swollen so the consensus was no workout also due to extremely high blood pressure 😥😥. Today decided to get up super early and exercise before my legs got swollen again. SO only got 3000 steps yesterday and 5000 today. That's okay as my motto is LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. Hope your week is going okay or at least better than mines.

    Also for those concern: I keep a BP log so I noticed a trend so reach out to my doctor's office since the swollen legs are a concern plus triple digit reading and change change my meds so hopefully I'll see a change soon🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤❤

    Calories under today but the last two days I slipped and ate at the all you can eat Chinese..( hopefully I didn’t gain )
    Exercise, Steps 32,641 ( haven’t had that many steps in years ) I walked twice, yard work.
    Softball is over but I am trying to get into a fall league. I never play winter ( inside) because I switch to volleyball and basketball.
    Wow, that was a fast August..
    September always reminds me of a couple of songs, Neil Diamond, “September Morn”, “Try to remember the kind of September.” Or “See you in September “

    Peace. Nice to see you all in September

    Last week I thought the doctor’s scale was off but apparently it was right on. I haven’t been eating much more than usual but have been sitting a lot to organize photos and haven’t been working outside like I had in the past. I hope it cools off soon so I feel like going out again. It’s time for a change!
