@badnoodle : Oh, that so cool! Great NSV! I have a hard time with pictures, too. Hence, the rabbit avatar, lol.

@Trooworld Can't wait to hear about Disneyland, glad you had fun and those steps are awesome! Thank you for the adorable birthday card with an “Asher” kitty! My friend came Friday-Sunday morning and hasn't visited since my ex-boyfriend lived here so I wanted to enjoy our time together plus we did a lot of running around then tonight was going out to dinner with my family.

@865jessica Ideas on good protein: Greek yogurt with fruit after dinner sprinkled with cinnamon and a little sweetener if the yogurt is unsweetened stirred and put in the freezer for an hour is my low-calorie dessert at night, Yasso bars are another good option. A protein drink or bar. Hummus and veggies, cheese, a “pizza” of low calorie tortilla with skim mozzerrella and sliced tomatoes or tomato sauce with Trader Joe's sweet and spicy jalapenos and olives or other low cal but flavorful toppings (nonfat refried beans and cheese with hot sauce or salsa on a low cal tortilla is another good one), eggs, a chicken sausage, some bacon (not too high in calories), salad with shrimp and veggies and low cal dressing, roasted chickpeas or tofu, tuna or egg salad in lettuce wraps. Cheese isn't very high protein but for the calories a half serving of feta gives a lot of flavor.

@bethanie0825 You got this, I know steroids can pack on the lbs and as far as starting over again can I applaud you for your record of not quitting and striving to be better and healthier? Watch out for this gal, she used to beat me on step challenges in the middle of the night right before the challenge would end, she's ruthless! How frustrating not to be able to get saxenda after doing well on it, that's so frustrating.

@crhillis Welcome to Mission Slimpossibles, we're happy to have you as part of our team!

@Micaroo4 Way to go, glad you had fun and you're still in your safe zone, you got this! Thank you for the birthday wishes!

@eagree Great job on steps Erica! You'll have to share some of your favorite exercise videos and recipes with us! You have a bunch of fellow readers here as well. What are you up to in your garden? I've done fall/winter gardening at home but it's going to be the first year going year-round for the farm, I'm excited to learn from it.

@Tammymccrady6278 I'm happy you'll be posting more, great job being honest with yourself. Congratulations on going on a year this week, I agree 44lbs is amazing and you have a lot to be proud of! Your husband sounds awesome, I'm glad you have him (of course he's lucky to have you too!).

@megnolia82 Great NSV, that's wonderful! Yes you get that skirt out and strut around in it!

@elelja945 Welcome to our family, we're happy you're here!

@sleepygirl79 Awesome job tracking and getting back to it, sounds like you got a lot of exercise too!

@badnoodle Oh that lasagna sounds amazing, yum! Do you have ragweed allergies? I read somewhere that allergies around this time are usually from them. I love your exercise goals for October, sounds like the perfect time for you to join us after a tough September. I'm so glad you're becoming more confident, congratulations on posting the selfie! I didn't have a photo for a long time here and on Facebook, it wasn't until I was here for a couple years. So happy for you!

@txcritter69 Thank you! Wow that's beautiful, I'm so glad you're off soon to adventure, I hope you share lots of photos! Happy birthday to you, we have a lot of Libras in this group! Thank you, you be amazing too!

@AmbersWay We're thrilled to have had you here since January! I'm happy to hear you're feeling like you're in an upswing, Fall's a fun time to be on the right track.

Mission Slimpossibles congratulations on 2nd place team percentage results and pound results!

@Megnolia82 @Neon_Ninja @steffibabiie Great job top winners on leading the pack for the month of September and the last week and being four weeks in the green!

@Neon_Ninja LOL love that meme! Haha ironically for some reason when I put on music at the greenhouse I always end up with Sheila E's The Glamorous Life playing when I let it go randomly, pretty ironic when I'm covered in dirt in a flannel with hair in a ponytail. The farm sounds awesome to me.

Hi friends! Was out to dinner with my family tonight, Chinese food then cake and ice cream, feeling like a chubette right now yikes. I had a great birthday weekend, I'm lucky to have a lot of good friendships and close family member relationships in my life. The Fat2Fit challenge is the rainbow challenge this week, come join in it's a lot of fun! I'm planning to rest a bit tomorrow and try to make a big dent in the garden, didn't sleep well as there's a skunk that's been spraying every night so even with windows closed it wakes me up and I need some rest as the week is pretty busy.

Let's have an awesome October my friends, I'd love to see your fall photos of your area as well!

@bethanie0825 I sent you a friends request on fitbit and Stridekick

@Katmary71 Thank you too!


Today I am 54, making future promises to myself for what I want to accomplish in the next year. Since joining in Feb. I have successfully lost 5 lbs and keeping it off. That does not sound like a lot, but for me it is baby steps towards my goal. This year for my Birthday wish I want to see a 10 lbs loss and keep it off. I did not gain it over night so my expectations to lose it over night are way to high 😂.

GO OUT AND BE AMAZING TODAY!
