      @jessicakrall8 and @PatriceFitnessPal I sent you both emails. Let me know if you didn’t receive them. I think I figured it out, I kept using the @ sign for user and then when I removed it, both emails send. Hopefully that was it!
      Also, does anyone get notifications if your posts have reactions (likes, hugs, inspiring, ect.) I do not and I was just wondering about others. I try to show support to others through those but if you don’t get notified it seems kind of pointless. Just curious. Thanks!

      I got your friend request and will get in there and approve it shortly...you can email me at jakrall@cox.net and that comes to my cell. MFPs IM message are a bit wonky, even on a good day, I'm afraid.

      Thanks so much for offering to help with the motivator role, @Sbus12 and @Cyncia85!

      Good work on the steps and weigh-in reports, everyone! Showing up and continuing on is half the battle.

      Many of you know my son often says “There’s no such thing as failure, only winning and learning” so I thought of him when I saw this quote today.

      Wednesdays
      Previous weight-177.6
      Current weight-180

      Turns out where I put my scale, there must be a soft spot and it wasn't reading right. It said 176.6 but I moved it and got 180, my work scale seemed to agree with the higher reading :(

      Friday Weigh Ins

      PW:135.5
      CW: 136.0

      UGHHH- I've been below 135 for days, but lunch and dinner yesterday were really salty, so I'm not totally shocked. My husband gained too. Also, my scale here in Houston weighs in .5 pound increments, which, honestly, isn't that accurate.

      I'm going to need to take a leave of absence for weekly weigh ins for August and September. I'm going to be doing a bunch of traveling - including a long awaited trip to Galapagos that has been on my bucket list for a very long time. I'll keep checking in when I can. Next week my mom is having another knee surgery and I'm going with my daughter for her first wedding dress fittings. Very exciting!!!

      Hope everyone has a great weeekend!

      Not sure why the increase. I've been tracking food, eating and exercising well this week.

      I'd love to re-join the step challenge for August. I've been continuing to get out cycling in the mornings several times a week and my Fitbit doesn't pick up on for steps, so I'll set my step target to 13K steps. Current favourite place to walk is anywhere shaded!

      @savagemrsmoose I've notified the MODS to move you to the support team for Aug/Sep. Please email me when you're ready to return. Have a wonderful few months of traveling! Stay safe!

      @ganival thanks for sharing your NSV and what an amazing one that is!! Over 61,000 steps over 3 days and you capped it off with 11miles. That is seriously awesome and I think I may be experiencing some sympathy calf soreness for you right now! 🤣
      Lake Louise is stunning. I’d love to just sit there and stare at that view! It always helps to have gorgeous scenery!

      Good morning Team:

      I don't know about you, but I am awfully glad it's the weekend! Today is supposed to be our last day of this really heavy heat and humidity...we've had it mostly all week. I can only imagine how those in Arizona or other cities where it's been in triple digits for over 25 days straight are handling this...saw a report on the news that hospitals are having to keep ice on hand to help cool people down who come in with heat-related illness...just frightening! Please stay hydrated...I've been drinking more water than usual and I imagine most of you have too.

      So, what's everyone up to today. I'm resting most of the weekend, other than doing my usual walking and some cleaning around the house. I think I have one or two loads of laundry that need to be done, but that's about it. I do need to run to the grocery and pick up some fresh fruit and a few other things for the upcoming week. I'm one week away from vacation and I feel I need this one. It's been really hectic at work, so I'm looking forward to the down time and just spending some "me time". I'm sure my little Betty (cat) has other plans...more time to "play ball" no doubt! LOL Can't get made at her...she's so adorable.

      Up again. I’ve been struggling a little bit after loosing the accountability of the program I’ve been doing.
      I’ve got this. I am accountable to me and only me and I need to remember this. I eat healthy and stick to my macros and calories for me.
      Maybe I need to start giving myself a pep talk in the mirror every morning.

      @CasandraW you can do this. Every day is a fresh start and a new beginning. Let go of yesterday’s failures or missed opportunities and focus on the goals of today. I’m with you, lost some accountability but we can chose to own our actions and behaviors today. Here’s to a good weekend! Let’s come back on Monday with some NSVs (non-scale victories)!!

      The past couple of weeks I haven’t seen much change - simply hovering between 212-213. I’m not super thrilled with the stall, but - I did notice that MFP has shifted my calorie allowance down, so maybe it’s an adjustment phase
