@izzyred9400 Ha, Tinus is actually pretty lazy outside. He usually stays in the garden and just sits somewhere and looks around! So he is never going to beat me!
@murdog3t We don't have your steps for the 4th, please let us know, thanks! I like the daily updates.2 -
@SavageMrsMoose sending hugs your way! I echo PatriceFitnessPal, although I don't think I'd excel as well in finding the words.3

@JenHul - Enjoy your trip! 🏖️
@DarinGettingHawtin2013 - You seem to have good insight and expectations from your previous weight loss. I’m looking forward to hearing more about what you learned from the experience. 👋 back to Ernie and his bird-hunting pal in Holly Springs!
@looneycatblue, @jessicakrall8, and @magnusMLQ - To me, no gain feels like a win but I know it can be frustrating sometimes. If you stick with daily logging for a slight calorie deficit, it will lead to a downward trajectory and positive results eventually. Hang in there!
@Armygirlarmyof1 - I hope your knee feels better soon. ❤️🩹
@murdog3t - It’s inspiring to see all those green check marks indicating that you achieved your daily goals! Keep up the good work! 👍🏼
@pedal__power, @Itadakimasu1, @izzyred9400, and @CasandraW — Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!
Your steps are impressive @pedal__power and congratulations on pushing through to exercise when you didn’t feel motivated. I’m sure you’ll be working out a lot now that hockey season has started. My brother is coaching in Utica, NY this year so I’m trying to plan a visit, and mapping out the games on his schedule that are closest to me (mostly Pennsylvania teams) or close to family members so I can combine visits!
I’ve been trying to increase my protein intake so I may have to use your bread recipe, @Itadakimasu7! 😂 I’d love to make bread instead of buying less natural versions @CasandraW and @Itakimasu7 — Nice work!
@izzyred9400 - Have fun at the party! At least you’ll get to show off your dance moves after all your preparations! 💃💃💃
@Pupowl — The new jackets are adorable. Tinus is looking handsome! I always look forward to your updates and agree that sleep is an essential part of success and improves our focus, outlook, disposition, and more. I often confuse the need for sleep with hunger symptoms so I have to be especially careful not to overeat at night. I’m confused enough on a good day! 🙃
And, welcome to your cute new kitten, too @LaurieWrobo! I’m sure it’s still difficult to cope with the loss of your beloved pet but the new kitten is fortunate to find a loving home and it’s great you have a new companion to welcome you home — enjoy your time together!8 -
Thank you @PatriceFitnessPal for acknowledging my loss - I keep seeing my memories in FB and pics come up with him b/c he would be with me while I worked out
My new kitty is a fireball of energy though but taking the girls some time to get used to him still he's 10 weeks old7 -

Good morning Shape Shifters. Thanks for all the kind words about Tinus! I passed them on to him.
My day started a bit slow. I already don't remember what I did, so I guess it wasn't very interesting. Oh yes, I wrote two postcards to Finland and Belarus and posted them before it started raining. In the afternoon I started moving stuff around in the living room, pulling things out of boxes and just reorganising stuff. I collected a bag of trash and I have a little more space to put decorations. My couch has a shelf running along the bottom so I put a lot of my puzzles there which helped a lot. Today I plan to throw out some plants. I am just not enjoying them. I think I will only keep two; one will be repotted. Happy day everyone

Pupowl
Wednesday weigh in
PW: 217.8
CW: 216.2
This one took some work. After my 2 very high food days, I weighed in at 223.3 on Friday morning. Of course a lot of this was salt and water so it dropped to 220.9 the next morning, then 219.1 -- 217.3 -- 216.9 and finally 216.2 this morning. I am hoping for a bigger loss next week because I will mostly behave with my food today!8 -
Congratulations @Pupowl you are doing amazing! Great progress!
I appreciate everyone’s kind words. I’m going to enjoy my dress shopping I think I’m mostly stressed about the fear of re-gaining weight.
This is a picture of my mother in law in the dress. I know my daughter took a picture of me, but I can’t find it….
We are still going to honor her my mother in law the wedding. She was a very strong, outspoken and opinionated, but also very loved. My daughter is named after her. I had star gazer lilies at as my wedding flowers- I thought they were beautiful and very in fashion in the early 90s. My MIL always referred to them as funeral flowers. So, my daughter is having an empty seat with a bouquet of star gazer lilies in it for her. It’s a joke between my daughter and myself. We all miss her very much.9 -
@Pupowl , Tinus is gorgeous in his new outfit.
@PatriceFitnessPal , ty.

Weigh in Wednesday
PW: 137.8
CW: 138.3
Honestly, I'm surprised it's not higher. It's been up skyhigh this past week. Some pms weight, some I Ate Too Much Crap weight. I have been super focused the last few days, and will keep working to get this number moving in the right direction again. Gahhhh. I was doing so good not too long ago, but fell off hard. I'm a bit frustrated I lost some of the progress I was making, but I only have myself to blame.6 -
@Itadakimasu7 I do inadvertent yoga with a dog, lol. She’s a 9 year old golden retriever who loves to “help” with workouts. I’d love to go to an actual class though!!!6
