    First of all, huge, congratulations to MS on the leaderboard!!

    Thanks for leaving the way @trooworld @Ftofit @davidji82 @Shaunarlr83 @Vegan4lyfe2012 I

    I have been able to go to the gym the last couple of days and have really enjoyed catching up on everyone’s posts as I have been waiting for class to begin.

    @DrewsAnna I too love walking with my best buddy, but when it gets this cold, luckily I can go to the gym, my puppy does not get the exercise she needs. I have trained her to use the treadmill for days like today (it is -35° here today) :-) :-). Love, love, love all your Christmas decorations!

    @trooworld good for you for the increase in fruits and veggies! I am still struggling with not drinking enough water, you are a good motivation for me!

    @shaunarir83 it looks like you live in a very beautiful area! That is quite the application process you are having to go through, very extreme!

    @katmary71 thank you so much for your words of encouragement, they really mean a lot! Maintenance is definitely a challenge, more than I have thought it would be. Sounds like you had a super busy day. I am so sorry that you are struggling with your pain right now, I don’t know how you do it. When I am in pain or lacking sleep, all I want to do is eat comfort food. You are an inspiration! Your Christmas decorations look wonderful! I love your mantle!


    I was able to go to the gym yesterday and today. My workouts were a little goofy, in my barbell class today I picked very light weights and was still shaking at about five minutes in lol! It just felt really good to be back at the gym, I really do know about myself now that Working out is not only part of my physical well-being, it really does a lot for my mental health as well. My GOAL for the month of December will be to maintain, my HOPE for the month of December will be to lose 5 pounds.🤪. Looking at my calendar, I am going to a dinner theatre brunch tomorrow, there are five birthday celebrations in December, and then Christmas! Being able to go back to the gym, this month will be a huge help.

    A little bit closer again. It's like the one step forward two steps back dance. After I get to 140, I'm sure it will take me a month or more to stay there. I'm too sore to move, I've been doing some yard work. It's a mess and needs a good cleaning.

    I'm keeping up with my goals, of water intake and steps so far so good for the month and I'm decluttering at least one item a day if not more.

    This is a busy week for me I had a Telehealth Visit with my new Sleep Doctor, I like him. I'm seeing my Rheumatologist in the morning and my old Sleep doctor for the last time on Thursday.

    I got our Christmas Tree put up, but I noticed a few lights are burnt out and need changed before I can add the ornaments.

    My husband gave me my Anniversary present early it's a Swarovski Advent Calander, every day is a new Crystal. I love it, I love that there is no candy involved to feel guilty over. This month will be difficult, but just give yourself some grace. Every day is a new day to start over. Tracking really helps even if you eat over your goals, at least you are aware of how many calories you are eating.

    Lol, how do you cope with the hunger after exercising? I'm finding that I'm super hungry after doing yard work and I'm even dreaming about food which wakes me up in the night. But I was good and didn't go to the kitchen.

    Happy holiday's I hope you enjoy time with your friends and families.

    Everyone is doing so well so far!!! I love how we’ve all got our minds set to do this last month of 22 right!!!

    Thanks everyone for the congrats!!! I love when we light the leader boards up green!!

    Last night my daughter swung by after work and we went to the gym. It was after midnight so it all logged as todays workout but we’re headed back tonight to get some more work in. I love that she’s finally back to wanting to workout. Helping her is pushing me to go harder too!

    At some point very soon her co-worker will be going into labor and my daughter will be switching to the over night shifts, so our workouts will move to a more normal time of day.

    We are still having to shuffle vehicles so I’m hoping and praying for a knowledgeable mechanic to come along and help us out soon! There’s so much I want to do and we’re so limited with both of my kids working evenings ☹️☹️☹️

    @megnolia82 Adding in those extra steps is awesome, every little bit counts! How did no snacking go? You need to get some yummy teas to have a night so you're still having a treat! There's real fun seasonal ones out now if you like tea, I just picked up a cranberry vanilla but in the last month or two I got pumpkin spice, gingerbread, Candy Cane Lane green tea, Harvest tea (last two and next are Trader Joe's), Maple Espresso, then Salted Caramel. All the money that would go to munchies or ice cream goes to tea now.

    @bethanie0825 I need to reread No Zero Days, I will after I post! LOL at the steps mistake, I didn't see that but wouldn't be surprised, I used to always come in 2nd place to you in the step challenge!

    @DrewsAnna Loved the pictures, don't worry about it! Your village is so beautiful, that Santa on the motorcycle is too cool, my friend just got back from a Toys for Tots ride and she sends me all these great pics of huge guys with stuffed unicorns on the back of the bike, it reminds me of that.

    @soaness We're glad you're here too Hanna! I like your goals, I think you're giving yourself wonderful ones to start with.

    @trooworld Way to go on listening to your true hunger signals! It's hard to stop and leave food, I think most of us were raised to clean our plates and not waste food, it's not easy to do after many years. And aced your water, you're on fire!

    @laurelfit57 I love you catching up here while waiting for gym classes to start, that would help with inspiration. Glad you're back doing classes! How's Instructor Vannie doing? Have a wonderful time at your brunch, that sounds fun. I feel like you do about working out and mental health.

    @bookgurldia7 Welcome to Mission Slimpossibles! Do we have another bookworm in our group from your name?

    @FushiaKat Good luck with your appointments, it's fun at this age to have an appointment for every body part and system right?! Being sarcastic of course! I'd love to see your tree especially with your kitties in front of it! Wow what an awesome gift from your husband, it sounds beautiful. Good question about hunger after exercise, do you eat any exercise calories back? I usually tough it out until my meal unless I'm crazy hungry or that my bood sugar is low. I had started out not eating exercise calories back when I was going to the gym and eating some back helped with feeling starving and low blood sugar. Also if you eat something that will keep your blood sugar balanced ahead of time like protein (ex yogurt and fruit is what I used to do prior to workouts to keep blood sugar up) it can help. I know the two can be separate but I found when I was starving my blood sugar was usually low.

    @shuanarlr83 Hope you and your daughter have a great workout! I love you two doing it together. Hope you find a good mechanic! I know neighbors around here post on Next Door asking or Facebook neighbor groups, that may be a way to go.

    Love seeing everyone doing so good this week, woohoo! I was up most the night not feeling well so I decided to take a rest day and just do light stretching and it seems to be helping some thank goodness. I have the concert next week and Friday and Saturday next week the charity I'm with is helping with Let It Snow at the food bank which is where qualified children will come through and select gifts people have donated and I want to feel well enough to help out a bit. Picked up prescriptions, did some work, and read so mellow day but I have a ton of energy pent up from not working out. Have a great Wednesday everyone, getting my hair touched up tomorrow but I'll try to work out first. Good news, while I love Christmas I'm not a big cold weather fan and the seed catologs are showing up in the mailbox, there's an end in sight! It won't happen for awhile but I'm excited to daydream about next year's garden and warm weather.

    Ugh. Came home from work today, ate dinner, then promptly fell asleep on the couch for almost 3 freaking hours! Woke up around 9:30pm. Needless to say, all my dishes are done, did a little batch cooking and I was able to get a LOT of computer work done for my job between midnight and 4am. My boss is going to see the time stamp of what I did and just shake his head. Anyway, now I can't decide if I should completely forego sleeping because I have a 10:30 appt with my therapist, or try to take another 3 hour nap. We'll see how it goes. Anyway, @Katmary71 I am thrilled about your teas you've been buying! I won't tell you that I spent over $200 on teas since Black Friday... but I WILL tell you it includes a LOT of new flavors to try from several different companies. Right now, I'm trying to decide between a pot of Blackberry Bellini or Black Thai Tropical :smiley:

    @Katmary71 It just dawned on me that the 2 teas I was debating over are very summery.
    Help me decide between:
    1. Fireside Spice (mulled wine tisane)
    2. Pumpkin Pie (black)
    3. Cocoa Mint Chill (chocolate peppermint rooibos).

    Let me know your votes, everyone!

    1️⃣ Fireside Spice has such a nice sound to it. I’m going to try to drink some tea every night before bed. My mom and I have about 7 boxes to get through before I can go buy some new flavors!

    @shaunarlr83 Good morning! No one’s ever online when I am, so just wanted to say a big HELLO from the bottom of the world 😂

    @Drewsanna - Thank you for reminding me that I have Google photos 😂 I agree that motorcycle shop is the cutest thing!!!! Love it! Back in August I saved over 2000 pics from an old Facebook account into Goohle photos and I need to sort and transfer them. When I switched phones I was so scared to lose all of my pictures on my iPhone. I had over 70,000!!! My uncle bought me an external drive to move them all onto and we’ve been working for 2 weeks to get them all transferred so I can stop paying for extra icloud storage every month

    @hlnnan, @jamaicanlady, & @soaness - I’m so happy y’all are here!!! Sorry I waited so long to formally say hi!!!! This group is amazing!!!

    @Katmary71 - I’m right there with you!!! I’m kinda sorta okay with the cold as long as there’s Christmas stuff going on but I wish winter ended Dec. 26th. I was however pleasantly surprised at how much I actually enjoy winter hiking. My mom has a greenhouse she didn’t get set up yet so hopefully come Spring I’ll have a bit more in common with you. 😉🥰

    @trooworld - great job moving moving moving! I hate when people tell me not to do certain things so I’ll just tell you the story of my aunt who worked at JC Pennys years ago and hurt her back moving catalog boxes, she twisted wrong and has never been the same since ☹️ i can imagine they get pretty heavy. I for one never think about proper form when lifting stuff, I should though especially with all the lifting and moving I seem to do. At least I’m being mindful of form when lifting weights and trying to get my daughter to do them properly also! That salad sounds amazing!!!

    @laurelfit57 - I always feel so amazing when I get to the gym. Even when I had my own home gym. There’s just something about it!! I’m glad you are enjoying it also!


    Yesterday was my moms last check up on her knee and she’s still having issues but after talking to her Dr they thing it is actually a slipped dish in her back causing the problems. I really hoped she would bounce right back to her old self after the surgeries. Hopefully they can get her some relief. We are slowly getting g our Christmas decorations out and planning a few festivities to attend. Not getting to see my sisters 6 kids this year has my mom really depressed but I’m trying to keep her spirits up.

    My daughter and I made it back to the gym for arm day. She loathes cardio so I’m trying to challenge her to short quick workouts. Last night we each did 1.5 minutes as hard as we could go on all 5 of the cardio machines!

    We forgot to do our side bends but I went too heavy on the weight that first night so I’m super sore in my hips. My mom was thinking of going but honestly unless she wants to start doing seated workouts (which I’ve been trying to talk her into for months) there really isn’t a ton of equipment up there that she could utilize at this point so it would be a waste of money except for maybe the fact that just going and having us there working out might motivate her. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Today I think I will go through my Christmas decorations, may have some luck selling a few I know I won’t use anymore and there was some of my husbands childhood ornaments I don’t feel right keeping. My mom said I could decorate anything I wanted and I wasn’t going to mess with it but I think I now want to!

    Thank you for the suggestion of eating yogurt before doing yard work. I typically fast until 1:30 pm then we eat lunch, then we have dessert at 8:00 pm oh I forgot my fruit bowl at 5:30 I know that if I'm dragging my but around in the morning to eat an egg and then I feel better. I added 50 more calories a day to my meal plan. I'm struggling with my husband and salads, he say's I should not eat that much even if I have planned my calories around it. Lol, the only lettuce the store had is Red Leaf and that is very fluffy lettuce, so it looks like I'm eating more when I'm not. I don't see why he cares if I'm losing weight and staying on track. He needs to trust me now; I think I know what I'm doing.

    Ugh sorry I missed yesterday. I feel really bad that at this point all I’m doing is scrolling down to post my weigh ins and that’s it. I wonder if I should just take a break at this point. I just hate that I’m having to ignore all your posts and scroll through because I just don’t have time to read. And you are all so supportive and still take the time to read what I write. I’m really sorry. I am just too darn busy right now. I don’t know when that’s going to change. I’m debating just leaving the group until next year, but I don’t know what to do. I’ll still keep weighing in if you don’t mind me!

    @vegan4lyfe2012 Wow you must've needed your rest! Hope you're hanging in there with the weird sleeping hours, I tend to just stay up too but pay for it later. Haha you're a bigger tea nut that me, I love it! Oh both teas sound good, have one of each. The fall/winter teas are the most fun if you ask me, good time to buy them plus there's all the Black Friday sales. Oh out of those three I'd personally choose Peppermiint Roobios since I have one like that in my cupboard but the other two sound good too, which is the most different from what you already have so you can have more variety?

    @hlnnan We have an amazing team! I've never checked out the other teams aside of in the combined challenges and everyone's very nice and I'm sure they're great too but Mission Slimpossibles rock!

    @trooworld Yikes I bet those boxes are heavy and a great workout. Your salad sounds incredible, you're such a great cook, your meals always sound amazing! Great job on avoiding the cafe! I go through periods where I'm worse about going for coffee drinks and crave them when I have them more often.

    @shaunarlr83 What kind of tea do you like the most? Oh I hope you get into using the greenhouse, that sounds wonderful! I don't personally have one but helped start the food bank farm seeds at the local high school last year, it's a lot of fun and I can't wait. Like you I wish it ended after Christmas too! Have fun decorating! Last year at this time I'd given my ex-boyfriend an eviction notice and thought about not decorating since the house was so tense and stressful but decided I wasn't letting him ruin it and did it anyhow. I was so exhausted once he left from being tense all the time I wouldn't have had the energy to do it the week before Christmas. I really hope this Christmas is amazing for you.

    @FushiaKat You've definitely proved you know what you're doing! I think we're the same with fruit and salad, you can eat a lot more of them than a piece of candy and it's a lot of vitamins so you do you! Even 50 calories can make a big difference.

    @happysquidmuffin You don't have to leave or worry about responding to posts right now, you're still a part of this group whether you post often or not, do what works best for you and we'll always be happy to hear from you.

    Things are HOPPIN in here, yay! My day off yesterday helped some thank goodness, feeling a bit better today. I did my workout then headed to get my hair done which is about 20 miles away. Between sitting and the drive I'm always worn out when I get home, I pick up coffee drinks and got a mocha so that was my lunch, I didn't eat a healthy dinner but am around my goal so I'm not too worried, it throws me having half my day being a drink but being around the house tomorrow will be better. A friend texted me a picture of sundaes 2-for-1 at an ice cream store, I may have to block her, she's a bad influence! I went to Trader Joe's with a few of the women after our charity meeting and they were teasing me about getting all healthy stuff and I told the one I only eat junk with her and she pointed out the last sundae we got I texted her a picture so I guess we're even. Have a great Thursday everyone!

    @laurelfit57 How did you train your fur babe to walk on the treadmill? Chipper is quite leary of it.

    @Katmary71 hubby and I used to go on those toys for tots rides, help collect donations and all kinds of stuff. I loved it. It was a member of the organization we belonged to that got me the motorcycle shop. I love it. I sort of miss those days. I'm going to try you advice of trying some flavored teas. I like tea so, maybe that'll help.

    Hey y'all! I've stayed pretty busy the last couple of days. Did some Christmas shopping yesterday, I couldn't believe how much prices have gone up. This year, I'll only be shopping for my grand beauties because I can't afford adult beauties and their spouses. Omg... I was shocked and I still have 7 grand beauties to go, I only got 4 done.
    Today, I cleaned up my best buddies restroom since the snow melted and it wasn't raining. I needed to it for awhile but the weather was bad. After that, I showered and did some housework.
    I kind of made 2 dinners, hubby had fried chicken w/mac-n-cheese, I had air fried chicken with a homemade fried brown rice and we both had some country mixed veggies. It was so good I just wanted to pig out but, I was good and put the second serving in the fridge for tomorrow.
    We had a bit of a scare with my mom, she went a bit looney tunes on us. She was hallucinating, she thought that furry critters were crawling on the walls and they were in her so, she was running around in her underwear because she was afraid to get dressed. Turns out she has a UTI infection and those really mess with the elderly. Something about low/high potassium and low/high sodium messes with their heads. She's on antibiotics now, so she'll be better in a day or two.

    I struggled so much at work yesterday. The stress caused the ringing in my ears to amplify. Which made it harder to concentrate. After chatting with my awesome boss it literally calmed down a notch. I still bought a bag of habanero corn chips and cheese dip and tried to wallow.
    Today is a new day.

    @DrewsAnna I bet you had a blast on the toys for tot rides, they look so fun! Christmas shopping is painful, I just got done ordering gifts with my SIL for sets of relatives together instead of seperate gifts, some things have doubled in price in the last few years. Good luck with the rest of your shopping! My nephews are 11 and 13 now and this is the hardest it was to get gifts as they wouldn't give any hints. Your poor mom, glad she's on antibiotics and really hope the hallucinations stop.

    @trooworld Haha I don 't care for beets but I get freaked out every time I go to the bathroom after eating asparagus and think I have some crazy UTI or something, I don't think I could handle red excretions of any sort! I'm going to save your recipe in case I'm ever brave enough to try beets again as it sounds amazing.

    @19shmoo69 Oh no, tinnitus is such a pain, I'm so sorry to hear you're stressed enough to worsen the symptoms. I'm glad your boss was there for you. Hey those corn chips sound pretty good. So if you tried to wallow it didn't work, right? Yes it is a new day, you got this!

    @GabiV125 I'm glad the majority is wins, I hope you sleep well and the day goes better for you tomorrow.

    Hi team! Not feeling the best but I'm in a decent mood despite a big storm coming in and the start of a migraine but spent most the day aside of my workout resting. I have the last 20% of a Christmas story to finish tonight which I'm looking forward to but tomorrow after working out I need to get some errands done. Have a great Friday team, weeekend is here!

    @Katmary71 ooh, you’re a kindred spirit! I am obsessed with teas. I have over 65 varieties in my cupboard at the moment and I have a tea advent calendar on the go. I actually got into it way back when I first tried the celestial seasonings Christmas teas. Mmm.

    You’re so right - I need to remember to enjoy my tea and allow myself to feel fully relaxed and satisfied in the moment. I’m happy to share my daily teas actually.

    This morning was silver bell oolong : a fairly floral oolong. This evening was strawberry rhubarb parfait. A perfect end to the day.

    Hope you all
    Had a great day!

    @davidji82 good job this week!

    Good morning all. My goal today is to check mfp more than once and attempt to reply to everyone.

    Breakfast tea today: hot chocolate pu’erh. It’s a high caffeine and one of my favourites.

    @DrewsAnna Sweet dreams!

    @megnolia82 Wow I bow down to the Queen of Teas! I was very tempted to do a tea advent calendar, I saw them today at World Market too. Both of those teas sound amazing, do you like all teas or just certain ones? I like everything from herbal to black teas, I'm actually drinking Trader Joe's Candy Cane Lane and know it's a Celestial Seasonings dupe. I drink both tea bags and loose tea too, I have my favorite cheaper teas. Now do you like kombucha too? I started brewing it at home, the last batch I made I forgot about it and I'm a little scared to reuse some for the next batch, I usually use Sweet and Spicy for it which is Good Earth I believe. Oh the hot chocolate pu'erh sounds amazing!

    @trooworld I haven't watched A Christmas Story this year, I was just thinking if I do any more Christmas stuff it would be classics. I also started a Christmas cozy mystery which is the 31 in a series so I'm still going strong on Christmas stuff. And drinking Christmas tea! Pretty corny but I like enjoying seasonal things. Congratulations on the loss!

    @19shmoo69 I love coffee too I just can't drink it at night! I'm using peppermint chocolate coffee cream right now too. I've been getting all the seasonal coffees everywhere, there's one more I'd like to get at Dutch Brother's but since it's raining a cold brew doesn't sound as good as it usually does. Do you like seasonal drinks?

    Hi team, hope everyone had a great Friday! I managed to get all my shopping for Christmas done but my cats and my brother's cat so I'm a little more relaxed, hopefully tomorrow I'll get all my cards out. Did my workout, I'm doing a belly dancing challenge with some friends and it started today but was way longer than I was expecting so I just did one of them and watched the rest. I'm going to try sitting through them and just trying at the end and maybe I can do more, we'll see. No plans for the weekend aside of cards and cleaning to get done, we have a big storm coming through so I'll stick around the house. Have a great Saturday everyone!

    @Tamevv - man I wish I would have caught you in here, looks like you posted while I was typing…if I had scrolled back up after hitting send I would have totally chatted with you!!!

    @Katmary71 - I usually go for blackberry or raspberry, my mom has some white chocolate mint that I’m digging right now, haven’t explored a ton of flavors but getting more excited about it! We definitely need to block those bad influence friends 😂😂😂 mine posted that her neighbor brought her cinnamon rolls for breakfast and I have been craving one all day!!!

    @DrewsAnna - so sorry about your mom, I’m glad they figured out the cause so quickly. I had to say goodbye to my little Gracie last week. She originally belonged to my step dad and since I couldn’t keep her he agreed to take her back and love her. It was hard but I wasn’t quite as sad as I thought I would be. She was just one of the many things I had to say goodbye to in order to move forward. Great job with the meal prep!!! I love anything cooked in my airfryer!

    @trooworls - I bet your place is decorated amazingly! My mom and I just watched A Christmas Story for the first time ever together last night. I’ve seen clips of different scenes and would know the movie just by glimpsing the tv but I’ve never sat down and watched it. The town next to us has been putting up a Giant Leg Lamp for a few years and it’s getting national recognition. We plan on going to see it soon and the local theater is putting on a live performance of the show that we wanted to catch so I told her we actually needed to watch the movie first! 😂 I’ll post a picture with the leg lamp when we go but until then if you’re bored you can google “Leg Lamp Chickasha, Oklahoma” to see what I’m talking about.

    @19shmoo69 - I was getting worried we were about to make you blow a gasket with all that tea talk. Sorry for the struggles.

    I started my replies last night and didn’t make it far, yesterday morning my daughter had an appointment at 8:30 for labs, and ultrasound, X-rays, and an MRI. She’s been dealing with back and knee pain and they finally got her in to check it all out. We were both so exhausted after not getting home from the gym until after 1 am it was so hard to stay awake sitting there waiting for her to get finish and then she had to be at work by 3 yesterday afternoon so I pushed through and stayed awake until I knew she was off of work and back home safe. We skipped out late night workout session in order to catch up on some sleep and had every intention of getting up today and getting it in early. Didn’t happen 😂 BUT we got to go see a cute Christmas performance called The Living Christmas Tree and then we hit the gym for our longest workout yet!!

    A Mobil Mechanic will be here at 8 am to get started on my sons car!!!!! We’re all gonna pitch in and help clean parts so he can get done quick and then my daughter asked me to be her +1 at her company Christmas party for the hospital!!! I’m very much looking forward to this!!!

    I was making a humorous jab at the tea talk. I used to drink tea quite a bit. When I stopped drinking cola the tea drinking faded as well. About twice a year I drink hot tea. My daughter absolutely loves teas. She drinks all kinds from the high fructose teas in the convenient stores to loose leaf teaf from the tea shop.
    99% of the time I do not add anything to my coffee. When asked how I like my coffee I usually say I like my coffee like I like my women HOT BLACK AND STRONG. Then they look at my at my white wife. I said this for years then somebody asked my wife how she liked her coffee. Her response left me stunned. She said I like my coffee like I like my men, THROWN IN A BURLAP SACK AND DRUG ACROSS THE MOUNTAIN.
    The other day my wife read on facebook a lady had said she liked her men like she likes her coffee, falling her car as she drives off. I was laughing so hard
