    Hey Belly Flats! Question - is anyone else having an egg shortage in your area? I heard there is a nationwide shortage. I went to our store today, and shelves were 100% empty. I am bummed, because a hard boiled egg is the most filling snack I have discovered. I am resorting to string cheese, but it is not the same.... 🥚🍳🥚

    Yes a shortage in Orange County, California also. Costco was completely sold out, so I picked up some liquid egg whites. Stater bros has some, 8.99 for 18 eggs! I bit the bullet and bought them, we eat a lot of eggs. Ugh!

    I am new to The Belly Flats.
    I'm committed to this challenge but not up to typing much right now as I had a severe pain attack this morning.
    After that I have rested for the rest of the day.
    I have a lot of health problems.
    As a result of one of the health conditions, I can have debilitating pain episodes.
    Wanted to let you know so you don't wonder where I am on days I am not posting.
    I will for sure post on my Saturday weigh in days.
    I'm not feeling up to reading the posts tonight (but I skimmed them).
    Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for me.

    It is hit or miss here. Sometimes they have them and sometimes they don't. The price has gone up over a dollar since last month. I'm trying to let the Wife let me have some chickens, LOL.

    Thanks @HigginsTheBrave and @looneycatblue for your encouragement. Still not feeling good today so unfortunately it has to be another rest day for me. Joining this group and knowing I have a Saturday weigh in is helping me to keep my eating in check today though.

    Daily: Mon, Jan 2
    Tracked: Yes
    Calories: just under (I use my exercise calories)
    Exercise: 2 x Walks, 9,246 steps

    Comments: Took a morning walk to the store, p/up lots of healthy stuff, with plans to make a big pot of Veggie Soup. 2 heavy bags to carry home, but lucky for me the store is only 2/3 of a mile away. Still had to stop 3 times to rest my arms and let the blood flow back into my fingers! :D
    Spent most of the rest of the day sedentary, so decided to take another walk before dinner... so nice to have the time to do that. :)
    Unfortunately the reason for the extra time was I couldn't get any work done, my old computer is crashing, and the new one (my Son built for me over the weekend), I couldn't get up and running... :s
    I'm hoping to get my computer crises fixed soon, but I will miss the down time.

    Daily: Jan 2
    Tracked: yes
    Calories: under
    Exercise: I play volleyball and basketball in the winter and softball in the summer
    Comments: I am just getting started back to watching my food intake.
    Goal is to lose 30 lbs. My last two jobs were at home being a Covid tracer. I kept in shape by biking on a stationary desk type desk. I've gained 20 lbs since that job ended. I am starting a new job next week at a desk so I have no idea what direction my weight will head.
    I've been in a few biggest loser groups here before and had much success.
    Let me know if I can help anyone. I have been a Fitbit advocate for many years.
    Thanks for listening.
    Peace to all!

    Same issue here in Washington State. If you can find eggs you’re limited to 1 or 2 cartons.
