    Morning all!!!! My weight is going up 🙈 I feel so bad, like I’m letting the group down, that’s why I haven’t posted my weight last week as I was hoping it would go down by now but it’s still the same. So rather than hiding and feeling miserable I better be open about it.

    CW 56,6 kg/ 124 lb

    Oh gosh, don’t apologize! Honestly, feeling ashamed and guilty over weeks like that is why I stopped participating in F2F the last time I did it (and I wish I hadn’t because I am so much better with this group than without it!) This community is here to celebrate your victories but even more so to help provide the support and motivation when you’re feeling badly.

    What are your goals? Maybe your body is telling you it’s time to maintain. It’s so much harder to lose when you don’t have as much left to go.

    Hugs to you! Thank you for posting, and don’t ever feel like you’ve let anyone down!

    Hi great job this week, we led the leaderboards as a team! I just can’t keep up at the moment, too many posts to read, so I apologize but I’m out of the loop and will probably remain that way this week.
    I’m taking a break from counting calories, but I’m still logging in daily and watching my weight. If I can lose a little or at least maintain for 2 weeks, I might keep it up a little longer. I get too obsessive with counting or burnt out or both sometimes, so I need to practice just living and watching what I eat. I probably over ate Saturday, but was probably under yesterday. I’m up to 139 again, but I think I’m just holding onto water weight. Tomorrow morning is my weigh in.

    Let’s make it a great week, one day at a time! And Happy Fall!

    @shaunarlr83. Congrats on the loss!

    @happysquidmuffin. Morning! Taking breaks to practice just LIVING are so important. Last Thursdays bike ride was a real lightbulb moment for me and a good reminder that this is just a small part of my wider life and they all have to be able to work together. I think that so long as we can stay aware of all the aspects and attentive enough to realise when one of them needs some special attention - and respond appropriately to that need - then that is where “balance” comes in right? I hope so anyway - It’ll be interesting to revisit myself on this point in 6 months 😊

    @laurelfit57 Good morning 👋. New day, new week, let’s go!

    @trooworld hoping your day was everything you needed it to be 😊

    @megnolia82 Yep, I just had a bit of a swing at understanding “balance” too. How old are your kidlets? I have three from 11-15 and I’m just this year starting to find I have time and energy to prioritise myself - and it’s the first time I’ve not felt guilty taking “time out” and asking not to be disturbed. It is hard not letting other things creep in, and finding that middle ground where you don’t feel overwhelmed by the weight of any of them is constant.

    Someone somewhere on these boards recently talked about losing weight being our “job” and it requiring as much focus and effort as any other job we want to succeed in. Sorry I can’t recall who, but it got me thinking and was a helpful addition to my self-talk and way of approaching this aspect of my life. Many thanks to whoever that was 😊

    Wow!!! First of all huge congratulations to MS!!! Leading the leaderboard all the way!!! Special congratulations to @Fushiakat, @davidji82 and @happysquidmuffin !!

    @Tamevv I am assuming you are in Australia if you have dingos? I was there a few years ago and do remember seeing a dingo :-). If I remember correctly your dingoes are a bit smaller and stockier than our coyotes. Coyote are taller and finer than a dingo. I grew up on a farm not far from here and Wayback then the coyotes were skinny mangy little things that were afraid of people, probably only weighing 35 to 40 pounds. They are now probably between 50 to 60 pounds and have absolutely no fear. I will join you in finishing up this month in a strong way! That is a really good plan to do some research ahead of time when you are going away!

    @katmary71 That must have been heartbreaking when that coyote killed the dog and the feral cat that you have been feeding. Sounds like you had an amazing weekend, good for you to sticking to the one scoop of ice cream!

    @trooworld A huge happy birthday to you🎉! It sounds like you were planning an absolutely lovely day.

    Yesterday after I posted here, I took Vannie out for a walk. There is a grassy Boulevard that we walk along that is at the top of the river valley, I saw a coyote come up so we crossed the street to where the houses are, that coyote stalked for three blocks. Finally a couple of groups of people came up a side street and he left. No amount of shouting or waving my arms made him even budge. They have killed two dogs this year, one was a Rottweiler and attacked one man. I never let Vannie off leash anymore and many of the beautiful grassy places that I used to go are definitely off-limits for us now.
    It was a great day today, got in a really good spin class, helped my daughter get a few more loads taken out of her house and down to my basement. Lots of good exercise points there lol. My eating was on point, on the way back from the gym I stopped and got enough fruit for one piece of fruit a day, I have been lazy on that in the last two weeks and lots of veggies for my fridge.
    Have a great Tuesday everyone!

    @barbylucedistelle Morning, I think it's great that you were open about it, no one here will get mad at you, we've all been through it too so if anything we want to support you. I think it's important to not have shame around weight so please try not to.

    @Ftofit Way to go!

    @megnolia82 Balance is a great goal!

    @trooworld Happy birthday my beautiful friend! I hope you find something fun to do while resting that knee (like we need reminders of how old we're getting with all the flare-ups!)

    @happysquidmuffin I hope things go well with taking a counting calorie break, it is easy to get too obsessive. I'm a lot happier albiet a little bigger not weighing everything.

    @laurelfit57 The coyote sounds really brave there, that's pretty frightening, be careful. Sounds like you had an awesome day!

    Hi team! Been in front of my computer all day, I had a project to do and had planned on doing it on my laptop but Excel crashed on it so I was at my desktop for 9 hours which is awful when my pain gets worse sitting “normal” for any length of time. I have to get it done by the end of tomorrow so I'll just have to tough it out or buy Excel for my laptop computer, my old Office 365 through school is expired and seems to be corrupting my other Excel program. Did my full workout this morning, over the weekend I still worked out except for Bow Wow Days but cut it short so it was nice to do the full one this morning, not sure I will tomorrow as it'll depend how I feel in the morning. Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday!

    @Katmary71 & @trooworld – I hope some of the movies I picked are good ones! I’ve only seen 6 of them…the rest are all new for me!
    @shaunarlr83 & @Katmary71 – I enjoyed Where the Crawdads Sing, but wish they could’ve dived deeper into some of the relationships like they did in the book.
    @FushiaKat – That electric bill is insane! Move to Michigan! Now that I’m an empty nester and the only person home during the day is the rabbit, my electric averages $65 and gas is $50. Craziness!
    @trooworld – Yes, I have Healthi. I switched plans again and I’m doing Carb Conscience. Which plan are you doing? Hang in there. This time of year will do it to us all. Hopefully today is a Happy UN-Birthday and your knee gets better.
    @shaunarlr83 – My area, Southwest Michigan, is beautiful this time of year. If you enjoy all the “fall” things, you can easily fill your time with activities. And if you like beer or wine, this area has a ridiculous amount of wineries and breweries. In my little area alone, at last count, there were 9! Tours going on all the time. I’d suggest flying into Grand Rapids and enjoy heading down the coast of Lake Michigan.

    @19shmoo69 – Congrats on the upcoming baby!
    I have not been active on here because I have been so ridiculously tired. TOM has been hitting me hard the past 7 days. Yes. 7. I get 2 or 3 months between visits, but when he does shows up, he definitely makes up for it. Totally depleted of iron, which makes me so tired and have no energy to do anything but watch movies. I feel like I’ve been living at my local theater for the past couple weeks – watched Barbarian, then Pearl twice, Running the Bases, Avatar 3D, and Don’t Worry Darling. At least I didn't fall asleep there! Too bad it doesn’t keep me from eating every dang thing in the house.
    Anyway, my son and his wife made the official announcement so now I don’t have to keep my excitement to myself – gonna be a Nana in April! My first one :) The next exciting news will be whether we will have a Baby Sophie or Baby Ezra!
    Hope everyone has a good afternoon!

    @trooworld - I ended up getting some Keens they are kinda sporty looking yet very durable feeling, my last ones were Salomons and I ordered those online, perfect fit, absolutely loved them, but even though I put quite a few miles on them I felt they wore out really fast, I’ve been adding insoles for a long time trying to make it on the long hikes but back in February I started getting blisters and I’ve gotten blisters on almost every hike since no matter what I tried to do to prevent them. The only other name brand I recognized that they had were the Merrells but the cutest pair didn’t seem very durable. My mom was healing up so well she decided to mow her yard, somehow got stuck in the ditch and her new mower caught fire. Luckily a man and his son happened to drive by and stopped and helped her get off of it and move it before it completely burned. She’s been down in the dumps ever since. 😞 A street fair sounds so fun!! I’m sorry I missed your Birthday yesterday and that it wasn’t the best! 🤗

    @laurelfit57 - my phone is so stupid I hate it. 😂 loved the movie, as usual the book was better but they stayed true to the story. Those coyotes would be so scary, I walk with my German Shepard off leash bc we are way out in the boonies with no traffic and just hearing them in the distance makes me nervous, it makes him stay closer though 😂 I can’t imagine actually seeing them. 😰 I’m glad you got some rest and I NEED those button pins!!🤩I’ve been eating tons of fresh veggies! They are my favorite!!

    @Katmary71 - Thanks 🥰 I don’t even post all that I have going on 😣 The daily challenge was posted on September 1st, some people jumped in late, most do it daily but I see several catching up if they miss a day or two. Still looking into where I want to go, I’ll have more time to research now that I’ve left the house. The Bow Wow days looked like so much fun! I’m glad you had a great weekend. I’m so sorry about that project though.

    @Tamevv - Thank you it’s finally coming off!!!

    @19shmoo69 - I hope all is well!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 - I agree I kept telling my friend…”the book went more into detail”… I’m sorry you’ve had it rough I haven’t dealt with that since 2018 and i don’t miss it a bit.

    Whew what a week!! So exciting we made it back to the top!!! Great job guys! I’ve been soooo busy BUT….it’s been great for my weightloss! My house is the cleanest it’s been since February, I restarted LIIFT 4. It’s a Beachbody program that is part lifting heavy weights part HIIT moves plus abs! I was going to start off super light on the weights but I was feeling amazing yesterday! Super sore today 😂😂😂 I’ve completed this program before with great results and I am already seeing results from losing 20 lbs since May. (Logged over 11 total inches lost since June 3rd) Can’t wait to see how much I lose over the next 8 weeks. I’ve done this program on the road before so I knew how to prepare, I brought along almost 100 lbs. worth of weights!!! My husband wasn’t happy bc he has to drive across scales and have his total truck weight logged, oh well, I wasn’t unloading all of that! I’m in such a good place when it pertains to myself. I’m shutting out all other stress unless it’s something I just have to deal with!

    We got a late start today bc there are a few minor issues with the truck, we did get loaded but may have to deal with the issues which for me usually means sitting and doing nothing 🤣😘😂 I haven’t slept much the past two days and have been going hard getting all kinds of things done! Our plan was to sleep until dark and drive at night so I’m off to dreamland, he can worry about the truck issues himself.

    Soo I got the Cat Scan done last Thursday I have been sick ever since. Today my doctor said its nothing major but I have a "bubble" so now they want to do an Ultra Sound and the earliest I can get in is Halloween morning. My abdomen is tender and swollen from the contrast solution, and the dye by IV made my legs hurts so bad I was crying. I applied some pain cream, took some Tylenol and went to bed. I've just been trying to take it easy which is not helping my step count. I'm under 3000 a day, still eating on track so there's that.

    We are still looking at getting Solar, the last guy gave us some misinformation. We have a referral by our electrician. We know we will spend the money to get it done, but we want to spend it well. I cannot believe the amount of misinformation there is out there, just wading thru it has been a nightmare. Our power is scheduled to be off all day tomorrow, it won't affect us all that much I just can't wash clothes or run the dishwasher so I got caught up on that today. It's been hot here the past couple of days. Tomorrow I will go and get blood work done in the morning for next weeks appointment.

    If you live in Florida please stay safe and don't do anything foolish.

    @FushiaKat Are your legs better now? I sure hope so, what a lousy reaction!

    @19shmoo69 Congratulations on the upcoming baby, praying all goes well.

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Is it because of perimenopause that you're having TOMs like this? There's a lot I'm just learning now but since I can't sleep anymore I have more time to research (no miracle cures so far)! Just makes me wish I got rid of it all years ago.

    Hi everyone! Had a long day, I'm doing more with the project than planned (have to make calls to update information on the customer list and some were never customers which I didn't know when I agreed) so I went to have my Dad reload Microsoft on my laptop and just got home and am pooped, I can't have tomorrow be more time sitting at my desktop as I'm in way too much pain but the drive tonight (30 min each way) after a long day was real hard. I figure I'll sleep good then be happy tomorrow I can do all this in my recliner and at least be physically comfortable while I annoy people. I cut my workout back a bit as it was leg day and that always increases my pain which I didn't need. I haven't had time to get to the store but am still getting through cans of beans I opened yesterday for Meatless Monday and did make it to the farmer's market for some fruit. I had my first apple pear today which tastes a lot like an Asian pear. Have a great Wednesday!

    Happy Birthday @trooworld @katmary71!

    @trooworld - it DOES seem like a birthday should be a little nicer than that!

    @19shmoo69 - hope all goes well- is this your first grand baby?

    I'm just dropping today to say that bat patrol is going well. Yesterday wasn't the best- husband worked in the office instead of home and that usually means that I get talked into letting a few of them out. But NOT as bad as last week. Ole Ian will be visiting tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. We are ready. And we are far away from where it's going to hit and not in an evac zone. My daughter did come home from Tampa as it was looking very bad for them for awhile. Glad we are all together.

    @Cornanda I’m glad that your daughter is with you and not in Tampa. My sister’s kids and grandkids are in Orlando and we are all worried and praying hard for them to be safe. They have their house on the market with the plan for my sister’s daughter and three grandkids to move here. We NEED that house to NOT get damaged! :/

    @FushiaKat I hope that you will feel better soon! Solar is a very good idea if you can get it. You will like the savings it will give you in the long run. :)

    @shaunarlr83 I LOVE LIIFT4 and have done it a few times too! Joel is awesome, isn’t he? I would love to do his new program but I would need to get a weight bench and I have zero space for that. :/

    @vegan4lyfe2012 I would LOVE to come to Michigan in the fall. How beautiful. <3

    @trooworld I’m so sorry that you didn’t have a good birthday but yay for your sweet hubby making you dinner and a cake! <3


    Good morning Team! It’s been a crazy week and not even close to being done. Yesterday we went to see Joe’s oncologist and he diagnosed his anemia as MDS (Myelodysplastic Syndrome) which is a type of cancer that is in the bone marrow and affects the normal production of red blood cells. It certainly wasn’t the diagnosis we wanted but his oncologist thinks it can be managed by Joe getting these shot injections every two weeks. I’m still researching it all. Today he has an MRI that was ordered by his neurologist and tomorrow we go see a GI doctor figure out the other issues we are dealing with. Y’all a lot! I’m doing my best not to eat my emotions but it’s not easy. :| I’m going to go do a workout now which always makes me feel better. Have a good day! :)

    @FushiaKat – My late Aunt and Uncle used to live on a mountain in Arizona and they powered their entire home with rooftop solar panels. It was so cool! I’m excited for you to be able to do this!
    @Katmary71 – Yes…lovely perimenopause. It’s ridiculous. Glad you can relax in the recliner now. Happy Birthday!
    @Cornanda – Glad the bats are under control. And glad you’re not in an evac zone. My family is in the Fort Myers area and they decided not to evacuate. They are hanging out in their bathroom and playing board games :smiley:
    @trooworld – The movie list is for October, so no shame in your game! I have Healthi set to show the “bites” along with calories. I also set it to decimals for the bites. And yes, if you ever make it to Michigan in late September/early October, the changing of the leaves is just gorgeous!
    @TeresaW1020 – Oh no. I’m glad Joe has a diagnosis, but I am so sorry he will have to deal with ongoing treatments. Prayers for peace and for the other doctors to figure out the other problems. Hang in there.
    So here I sit at work…waiting in great anticipation… My daughter-in-love wanted to do a special gender reveal for me since this is my first grandchild. She’s having something (I have no idea what) pink or blue delivered to me at work today. She said it will be delivered by 3pm. So excited!!!!! I will pop back on here and let you all know what it is!
    I shall sip my lovely Wild Blueberry Black tea, do my work, and keep looking towards my office door every time someone walks by! #teamtea

    @Katmary71. I love discovering new fruits. We have a cross between apple and pear called a “nashi pear”. Wonder if they are the same? A lot of people here have “standing desks” which they can raise and lower whenever you need a change. Might not be an option if you have leg issues as well, but DH swore by his when he was having back trouble. But of course, I agree the couch does seem a much more comfortable option - and that’s what laptops are for right?? 😁

    @Cornamda. Great win on the bat patrol front 👏. Hope you are safe and enjoy the family visit.

    @TeresaW1020 Gosh you are dealing with a lot. As you said the other day - his team is growing and hopefully with all their combined expertise there will be relief and information and support. Glad to hear you have a workout option today, hope you made it. One thing I had to use when things are messy is recognising even 5minute breaks as opportunities for “me”. Sometimes they are for squats and sometimes they are simply for breathing. But don’t get lost in having to commit to a full hour - it is all beneficial. No zero days 😁

    @vegan4lyfe Loved the video - made me want to come to Michigan! Yay for team pink!!

    Hi @DrewsAnna! Welcome aboard 👋👋

    @19shmoo69. Congrats on the baby!!

    @shaunarlr83. You’re doing great!


    Sorry for missing ppl, have to run, but really happy this Board is so active 😁 - will try to catch up later. Hope everyone has a great day!

    @Cornanda Thank you Lisa! Be safe with the hurricane, I'm glad your daughter came home.

    @trooworld My birthday's Friday, last day of the month. Yum your dinner sounds amazing! You have the coolest meals.

    @TeresaW1020 Oh my gosh poor Joe, I haven't heard of that but I'm glad it can be managed with injections, I know going for them every two weeks is a lot though. I hope the GI issues have an easy not-too-serious solution, it IS a lot and your strength is amazing. Way to go on working out instead of eating!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you! Yay, that's so exciting, congratulations! I love your DIL doing this for you, you two have such an amazing relationship, what a loving thoughtful gesture the flowers are.

    19shmoo69 Congratulations on your grandson!

    @DrewsAnna Welcome to Slimpossibles!

    @Tamevv A nashi pear sounds just like it, it looks like an Asian pear but was slightly lighter, I bought an Asian pear too and they look almost exactly alike just a slight difference in color. Those standing desks are great for back problems, unfortunately with the damage in my legs standing is the hardest thing to do. The recliner was definitely easier today.

    Hi team! Woke up exhausted and sore so I did a mellow workout with a lot of stretching then finished my calls and turned in the project and spent most of the rest of the day napping and reading in bed. I just got out of the tub and the Epsom salts and apple cider vinegar helped a lot. Tomorrow I really want to read a lot, need some solitary time after getting yelled at during calls. Have a great Thursday everyone!

    Quick pop in. Ian is nearby now. Quite windy. Still have power.

    @TeresaW1020 - So sorry to hear about Joe. Prayers for him will continue. Will pray for your family in Orlando too- definitely not a good time for house damage. Try your best not to eat your feelings. It's not easy, but it doesn't help anything except very temporarily.

    @19shmoo69 @vegan4lyfe2012 - Congratulations! So excited for you both!

    I feel like I was coming here to post some sort of NSV. But I completely forgot what it was. 😝 Well, I did bounce right back down from 139 to 137 in one day, so there’s that…

    @megnolia82 - I hope you find the perfect balance!!

    @FushiaKat - I’m so sorry you haven’t felt good! If we do anything with our land in Arizona it will have to be all solar. I’m not looking forward to researching it all.

    @TeresaW1020 - I do love Joel!!! I have not looked at any of his new programs, I had a weight bench but would need a new one if it calls for that! My heart goes out to you for what y’all are going through.

    @vegan4lyfe2012 - I looked into a Michigan trip and the tickets were surprisingly high, maybe bc it’s the furthest away. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It might have covered a one way trip 😂 I have seen either Michigan or Minnesota in the fall, I know these are not even close 😂😂😂 it was during a pretty bad time in my life and I’m always trying to remember which it was but I’m pretty sure it was Michigan. I do remember it was the most beautiful fall foliage I have seen so far! So sweet of your dil and congrats on the grand girl coming soon! Is your family okay!???? 😰😰😰

    @Cornanda - I hope y’all are all still okay!

    @19shmoo69 - congrats gpa!! Glad all is well!

    @DrewsAnna - you made it!!! I’m so excited!

    @Katmary71 - I’m so glad you got that done and was able to rest and relax afterwards.

    @Tamevv - Thank you!!

    @GabiV125 - Happy Anniversary!!

    @Trooworld - I hope things slow down.

    We made it to Colorado! Already unloaded and will reload tomorrow going to Texas. My heart hurts for Florida, so have several fitness friends down there, anxiously waiting to hear if everyone is okay.

    I have kept up with my workouts and logging workouts far this trip, I know it has only been two days but we were off to a rocky start.

    I believe I’ve settled on New Orleans for my trip, I can actually fly there right out of OKC airport and won’t have to drive to Dallas. I’ve never been and there is tons of hiking close to the airport plus a few other things I’ve wanted to see for a long time.

    @vegan4lyfe2012 What an awesome way to announce that you are going to be a girl Nana!! That is so exciting! <3

    @19shmoo69 Congratulations grandpa on your new grandson! :)

    @Tamevv I love the idea of 5-minute breaks and am going to remember that for days when I feel like there is no time for me. :)

    @Katmary71 Thank you! <3 I hope you have got some time to just relax and enjoy your reading. <3

    @Cornanda Thank you! <3 I had a full-on evasion of bats last night but it’s OK. They are all gone this morning. ;)

    @GabiV125 Happy Anniversary! You had a very good reason and now can get back on track. :)

    @trooworld I love that progress graphic! It’s a good reminder for us all. :)

    @shaunarlr83 New Orleans sounds like a great trip! I have always wanted to go there. Just be careful because I was on the news the other night and they were talking about how much the crime rate has risen. :/

    @Welcome DrewsAnna! I know you will find so much encouragement and support from this wonderful team! :)


    Good morning! Well, last night my sister and I sat up late drinking beer and eating lots of snacks while we watched the hurricane in Florida and talked several times to my sister’s daughter. This was the first hurricane that my sister wasn’t there to take care of all the details. They made it through but have no power and some minor damage like part of their fence blown down. The coverage on the news is devasting and I’m so praying for all those effects. Our wind here in Georgia is very blustery today and I’m sure by tomorrow we will be getting more rain and wind. :/ Another update on my Joe is he had the MRI on his pituitary gland yesterday at the neurologist and they found a cyst or lesion and now want to do blood work to check his hormones. It’s always something! Have a good day.

    I remembered what I was going to post about! I get several MFP friend requests a month (sometimes in a week) from guys I don’t know. If I accept, they always message me some short hello/how are you doing, and when I reply, they always by the 2nd or third message tell me I’m fit and beautiful or just beautiful. And then I ghost them and never respond back. Because I’m happily married and I just don’t know how or cannot accept being told I’m beautiful by some guy I don’t know. I just automatically assume they have an ulterior motive and I have zero interest in having another word with them. Is this a reasonable reaction? Should I not even accept their friend requests in the first place? /semi-rant
