Friday has come around extra quick this week!😂😂😂 Excellent motivation to be extra strict with the calories today!!!2 -
Glad you all felt my pain!!
@lindamtuck2018 ~ I increased my targets to close my rings a couple of weeks ago. I changed my focus to closing the rings (Apple watch) and exercising in the fat burning zone (according to my fitbit). The steps will simply be a product of those two things!
They also keep a jar of M&M peanuts here at the office. I work really hard to not take any. Yesterday, my boss (who is the CEO) brough me a spoonful! It was actually funny!

@itladyee That's some good steppin'!! Keep going, itldayee!
And it sounds like your boss has a sense of humor! I mean, really, what can you do when the M&M's literally walk across the office to come to you!?! I guess that's portion control if it's by the spoonful!

Not too shabby at all! I'm really happy with the scale and I would love to see the 370s next week!
This week at group is all about exercise. I've not exercised in forever but I want to get back into it. I hurt my neck on Monday and it's still not 100% but it's getting there! I might start getting into the pool soon too.
Today I'm going to measure myself and look at my progress there too
Have a good day all!2 -

Been on this app and working on my weight for 207 days now. It's happened so fast that many times I forget I have lost all this weight. I will go to get up from the couch and start to prepare myself for the struggle and excruciating pain, then I stand up and there is no struggle and the pain is tolerable. I'll be standing outside watching birds for 5 or 10 minutes then suddenly realize I've been standing and watching the birds for 5 or 10 minutes. Standing. For 5 or 10 minutes. Feeling so much less like a prisoner but I still have a ways to get mentally before I can actually "escape". Still, these victories are so sweet. I'm glad yall are coming with me and that I get to come along with you. Much love.6 -

That's crazy. I tried to be a little conservative but thought I would be cutting it close still. Now I gotta see how far under I can get! Appreciate you my friend!1 -
Saw my surgeon this afternoon ... my ankle is not healing properly so he put me in a hard cast for 6 to 8 weeks ... I feel like getting an electric saw and sawing this damn foot of mine off ughhh....6

Thanks for all the well wishes last week - greatly appreciated. Although it's been a very looooong week at work, it's finally Friday and while I already know I'll be putting more time over the weekend, it will be shorter days and on my schedule so I can deal with that.2 -

You wear both the Watch and the Fitbit? I laughed about the jar of m&ms and the spoonful.Heretochange88 wrote: »Heretochange88

The pool is a great way to exercise especially if you have injuries or joint issues. You had an awesome weight loss this week. Keep doing what you are doing.SW - 630

Wow! Great loss. It’s even better the NSVks you are seeing as a result. You are an amazing teammate.Megan_smartiepants1970 wrote: »Saw my surgeon this afternoon ... my ankle is not healing properly so he put me in a hard cast for 6 to 8 weeks ...

My friend brought back my scales so I decided to weigh in. The scales begged to come home so I told them to behave and I won’t send them away anymore😂 I didn’t get my steps in yesterday as my stomach got bad. This morning I woke up with no bloat, stomach or chest pain on my left side(gas). Maybe things have finally settled. I hope it is not too good to be true. I am meeting some friends at the pool. I will do exercises with them and swim laps.
Have a great Friday!4 -
