Welcome @ddainiak 👋

@sleepygirl79 Wow four birthdays in two weeks is a lot! Here I thought two and Mother’s Day was bad. I don’t like working out in a lot of heat either.
@megnolia82 Look forward to seeing you more often!

@trooworld I did have fun with my neighbor but I know I at least have a hangover today and she had more than me! Could you start the laundry and be back before it gets that musty smell from waiting to go in the dryer? I know your day is over now but maybe there’s a way to do both. I think we need some sort of challenge soon.

@DJill68 Oh my goodness, prayers for your FIL, I know that’s scary for all of you.

@ddainiak Welcome to Mission Slimpossibles Darlene! Wow what an awesome goal with the miles, you’ve done amazing with pounds too! I’m glad you’re here, this is the only group I’ve stuck with for my entire time and I hope you love it as much as I do.

Hi everyone! I’m waiting to hear if I’m starting seeds tomorrow. Had a mellow day, my neighbor and I had a little much alcohol last night and I came home and ate popcorn even though I’d just had cheesecake. I slept in and worked out then got dressed and spent time in the yard and went to Grocery Outlet, it was the mellow kind of day I needed after the last two. My neighbor had a computer she’s been trying to get rid of so I brought it home, being older I’m hoping it’s less likely to have issues and I’m so grateful and excited to get it going. Have some wonky plants in the garden but still should get a decent harvest this year, maybe it’s from my lack of being consistent in watering and care the last few weeks. I’m going to make skinnytaste’s black bean sweet potato bowls tomorrow, I love that recipe as it’s so easy to swap things around according to what I have and the spices on the potatoes is awesome. Have a great Tuesday!

No Zero Days
- Under calories
- Good water
- Arm weights, stretching, gardening

@trooworld not my bday. Between Mothers Day and Father’s Day, I have my son, hubby’s, mom, dad, SIL bday, plus my anniversary. Bank account is low and cake calories are high.
@ddainiak welcome to our group


Well the kids shared their germs and I have a nasty head cold. Tried Nettie pot and meds, but that didn’t help. Funny enough, I cleared a little when I took the dog for a walk. Maybe all the humidity. If the mosquitoes wouldn’t eat me, I could sleep outside tonight. On a plus, appetite is down and I don’t have to go to work.

@ddainiak - Hi Darlene, welcome! I also had a "Walk The Year" goal and have walked the year in miles for 2020, 2021, and 2022. This year I decided not to push so hard, but I could still make if I step it up a bit. But I'll probably just do my 5 miles/day which will leave me a bit short. You have done a great job of losing weight since you started on this quest, way to go!

@trooworld - Count me in on the 4th of July Challenge. My goal is to do Some strength training every day. Anything more than zero, right? Sometimes when I attempt these challenges, I pick too difficult of a goal and I fail right away. If I pick something that I already do every day anyway (like walking, or tracking food), then it's not a challenge. Strength training is always a challenge for me because I just plain don't like it, so I find an excuse. But if I make it a challenge to do something, anything, even one quick set of squats, then I can't make an excuse. SO I'm in. And I'm doing one quick set of squats right now, Day One 🏋️‍♀️ Done✔️

Welcome @DebJB30 !

@sleepygirl79 Oh no I hope you feel better soon! Maybe it’s the sun helping?
@trooworld The suspense on the challenge is killing me, can’t wait to read it! Glad the walk was nice! How are the dogs doing together, are things getting better with fighting? Oh I like the challenge, I’ll have to decide on which area to choose!

@ddainiak You got this, put a stack of magazines by the toilet for all that water going through you! 

@micaroo4 Strength training is a great July goal, you’ll be able to tell a difference by then so it will motivate you to keep going.

@DebJB30 Welcome to Mission Slimpossibles Deb!

@vegan4lyfe2012 Walking is about to go down, great goal! Oh my Sophie is so adorable, I’m glad you get in good time with her too! Love the father and daughter picture. Wow praying for Hunter, exciting week!

@FushiaKat Glad to hear maintenance is going so well, you’re doing amazing!

Hi friends! Started the day off slow but got my workout in and work done and made my meal. I’m definitely in on the challenge, I think it’s going to be food-related since that’s where I’m struggling plus I may not be able to keep up my workouts for some of that time but I don’t want to discuss it or I’ll get mad again. I’ll save it for all the letters I’m firing off complaining about my pain clinic. I did my “depressed and need comfort” popcorn with cheese on it last night so it’s time to get my act together again. I’ll be starting seeds at the greenhouse tomorrow. I was hoping to get back to the farm but with both my nephews graduating (5th and 8th grade) and a piano recital I won’t be able to for awhile. Have a great Wednesday!

No Zeros
Lower body and ab strength, stretching, light gardening
Good water
Healthy food

🎉 Congrats to our leaderboard makers and those who also had a loss this week🎉

I read messages and will come back after a while to do catch up.

Just want to check in.

July Challenge: I need to do the water 💦 drinking. It’s my most challenging.

Ive had some emotional moments this week, calories have been ok but choices not so great. My steps have been miserable the last couple days. So bad my friend (linked to my fitness) checked on me. Went to bed with a headache and woke up to it.

BUT, I’m determined to get myself on track. Cheer me on please! I’m so proud that I have been with you all since December. 21.2 lbs down with you all. I appreciate all the support. Thank you!!!

Day 2: 10 squats and 10 biceps curls with light weights. Something.

@trooworld I hope you got your project in and had time to enjoy the party.

@DJill68 prayers for your Fil. Glad you’re doing better now.

@micaroo4 congrats on doing strength training. I started at 1 kg weights and giggled at the idea but they wore my arms out. Before this recent sickness I was up to 4kg. I may go back to 2 now and work my way back up. I’m cheering for you.

@Katmary71 you did amazing at the farm. Great calorie burn. I wanted to tell you I shared Sydney vids with friends, thank you again.

I did WI in today to see how things are going. I’m down .4 and that was a surprise. I hope this is a good sign I may start losing again. It definitely gives me some pep.

Kids and furry family are all doing well. My son got a surprise award for being batch leader (his 3rd year) at a ceremony he attended. Thankfully one of my daughters friends is also in med at his uni and caught a video of it for us. I’m so proud of him. A FB memory popped up the other day of us discussing my health issues (botched surgery and the crisis that ensued) and he said, had that not happened he may not have chose medicine. I pray he takes everything he learned from caring for me, how I was mistreated and how I almost didn’t make it and uses it to be the best doctor ever. Ok I’m an emotional mess and will stop here. Thanks for reading. I’m just so proud of my children.

In other news, it’s getting hot and I’m meeting a new friend of a friend tomorrow and that should be great fun.

Have a great day everyone 💐

May 10 weigh-in was 186 lbs
May 17 weigh-in is 187 lbs
May 24 weigh-in is 193 lbs
May 31 weigh-in is 187.5 lbs

A summary of my month of May. Gaining 5 lbs overnight is not unusual unfortunately losing 5lbs overnight is not so easy. I have always known my eating habits are governed by my emotions. I have to ask myself why and understand the triggers. blood pressure ✔️ ✅️ ☑️
