    ….. My hip has been hurting for a year! I thought it might be my new bed because it’s REALLY bad at night and wakes me up. That doesn’t help either. I am awake almost every hour of the night. It’s also real bad when I go from sitting to trying to walk. It takes a bit before it moves without trouble. I think it’s more inflammatory and muscle related rather than actual hip joint….

    Sounds so familiar! You know, all it took was a trip to the doctor and some X-rays for me to find out it was my hips. And then I got replacements and it was the best thing I ever did! I suffered the same as you for far too many years. An additional 20 years have been added to my life barring annything unexpected health wise. You deserve to feel better and find out how you can be helped!!

    is it Monday? My weekend was fun for the wedding in Chicago but very exhausting. I am also about to enter the lovely TOM and woke up with a slightly piercing headache around my temples that remained on and off for the day. But, I did dance cardio for a sweaty 40 min with my friend which felt great and now I'm having a rather late dinner.

    thank you all for the feedback on the health/medication front!

    @PlaneMonkey in particular, your post was SO GREAT and helpful for my mental state. I really appreciate it and will probably have some questions for you so watch the DMs haha. thank you, thank you.

    @lauren_989 what is body pump? you are killing it with movement and steps!

    @micki48 I hear you. And we're here for you! From my position, it's no fun being backed into a corner with health issues. ride the wave of determination with me if you like! :)

    You certainly can! You'll be more than welcome. Just post your preferred weigh-in day, this week's weight, and you'll be all set for August. It is great to hear from you :smiley:

    @micki48 Montrose is about 2.5 hours away or 135 miles on very slow, windy, beautiful mountain roads.

    Today is my weigh in and if it was yesterday, I would have gained. However, I must have dropped the bloat and water weight I had from the weekend because I ended up slightly in the green.

    PW: 182.0
    CW: 181.4

    How did I miss it? But I have to say, it cannot be correct. I am 100% certain you did not put on 71 pounds in one week! Last week you were at 226 pounds. I'm sure it was not that bad!! I assume you meant 227.7 :smiley:

    I found an interesting way to burn calories today - I got dumped off my horse as we were heading out for a relaxing (hahaha) trail ride (no worries, it was a very gentle fall, and no drama), then led him (speedwalking!) right back to the big outdoor ring for a powerful workout. It seems he needed to get a few yayas out, sweat a bit, and remember that we were a team! Then we did indeed take a nice relaxing trail ride.

    Food has not been as positive, though. I made a good discovery in a bad way. My absolute favourite cookies from the best little bakery around are no longer the same. They changed the recipe, and not in a good way. Although I am happy that I don't really like them anymore, I did eat 2 of them to figure that out... At least I have plenty of good veggies from the garden to make up for it! Bring on the rapini...

    I hope everyone has had a day of good things. Here is the line-up for Thursday weigh-ins:
    @ashleycarole86
    @39flavours
    @DD265
    @conleywoods

    Overdue:

    Welcome @Antonia2050 ! We are looking forward to getting to know you - go ahead and tell us a bit about you (as much as you are comfortable sharing!) and ask any questions you may have. Our official August team chat will open up on Saturday, and everyone will re-introduce themselves there so you'll be able to get to know us. In the meantime, just dive in and get ready for August :smiley:

    Aloha everyone and greetings from Big Island Hawaii!

    I’m not sure where to begin, so here’s some basic info … I am 62 years old and I’ve been retired for two years. I was a social worker for almost 30 years. I served in the Air Force before starting our family. My husband is retired Air Force. We have three children and eight grandchildren with one more due in August. I’m an Aquarius and love long walks on the beach. (couldn’t resist)

    I am not very tall, and I’ve always loved my curves. However, menopause and Covid did me in. I joined this challenge for the support that it offered because I NEED the accountability. Aside from normal health factors, I want to be able to cross my legs again. I want to be able to put shoes on without holding my breath and I want to fit comfortably in an airplane seat. Simple, attainable goals. 🤙🏼

    Thanks for having me.

    @Antonia2050 Thanks for jumping in with us. I think you are our first member from Hawaii - such a beautiful place. I was lucky to do a few conference presentations there and many family members have had great times there as well. Quite a few of us in the team have military family or experience, and some of us are retired (watch out - we might be after you to take a leadership role in the team!!). I hope you'll find some kindred spirits here. My daughter is in the Canadian Army (Logistics) and my husband put in a few years in the US Air Force, even though I'm both a Navy brat and a kind of a former hippie and musician. It is amazing how life puts all the people together. I look forward to the stories and photos as you get going on the important work of crossing our legs and getting healthy. I lost my weight after menopause and am now almost 70 - so I know it can be done! I'll be kicking your butt :smiley:

    We're heading towards both the weekend and the beginning of a new month. Plans? Goals? At least racking up a bunch of non-zero days? Share your ideas, everyone.

    @CarolAnnM2 so jealous you're going to Halifax! It's one of our favourite cities. Our neighbours are there now and sending us photos of the solar bike tour they're on. So much fun to be had!
