Hi MS ..You have a returning member joining you again ... Please welcome back @DrewsAnna

@TeresaW2024 Great job on the 2lbs! Yes you DO have to forgive yourself and don't waste time beating yourself up. Roommate and I are doing better, thanks!

@trooworld That recipe looks delicious just saved it! I need to get some buns though they'd be good in lettuce wraps too. I just got my first jalapeno I can use too. The lake and walk sounds awesome I'm glad you went.

@lisalisa123 Welcome to Mission Slimpossibles! I think you'll like things around here, don't miss the full group challenges in the top of the group they're fun if you like competing. Now do you like Lisa Lisa and The Cult Jam? You're a little young to have listened but had to ask!

@sunflowerhippi Welcome to Mission Slimpossibles my old friend, glad you were put in this group! Gang Julie is a friend I used to Zoom with during Covid, a mutual feed friend would host Zoom parties and that's how we met.

@FushiaKat Sounds like the yard is keeping you busy! I'm not happy about the change either, guess we'll see it soon enough.

@DrewsAnna Welcome back to MS, we're happy you've returned!

@vegan4lyfe2012 No worries just post what you can. Have fun with the club!

@laurelfit57 Wow that's a very busy day! Aw Ty was out what a great photo.

Hi team! I have a garden club planning meeting tonight so came on early. Work was boring I was there alone with nothing to do. I reached out to another woman who left after being in the same position I am and we're planning to take micro current classes together though I won't be able to do the big program ($4500). I'm doing a workout challenge with some feed friends and am expecting sore arms in the morning. Have a great night and awesome Wednesday!

Sorry everyone some how I got behind in the reading. I really didn't think I would let that happen but I did. I'll blame it on the long weekend or Milli Vanilli.

I went to the Fungeon this morning and had a lil exercise sesh.
I noticed the other day that it is crossfit games season. I'm so excited. Can you tell.? 🎉🥳🔥😳😜
So I saw a video that had fitness/bodybuilders vs fat people in a "debate" type setting. It made me so angry. I would like to have a conversation with Greg Doucette. If any of you know him pass it along to him.
Fast forward to the other day, I saw a shirt with Matt Fraser. He had a buddy that lost 100lbs. He wanted to go to the gym and Matt said we'll go. His friend said it's intimidating. How do I start? What do I do? I don't think I can workout that long. Matt invited him over to his place to workout. It lasted 12 minutes. His buddy was like what's next? Matt said nothing that was it. Nobody starts lifting heavy for hours. Come back tomorrow and we will 12 more minutes. (Paraphrasing)
That made so much sense. It's about moving not about what is perceived as the right way to move.

Oh and drinking coffee. Yes drinking coffee.
( @vegan4lyfe2012 or tea)

Hey y'all, I'm back!! Thank you for the warm welcome. My name is Anna, I was here before, but I kind of fizzled out. I had way to much going on and just couldn't keep up. This time ought to be better. This girl here is 160 lbs. It's time to get busy.



Y'all have a great evening. Ttyl....

@TeresaW2024 @trooworld @laurelfit57

Thank you so much. I started reading Teresa’s reply and it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much to all of you for your words of support. The thing is, I would say the same words to anyone else in my position. It’s just so hard to support ourselves as well as we support anyone else. I really appreciate all your words of support and kindness.

I am going to the event I decided to go with the shoes that are comfortable for the entire evening. They are perfectly cute flats. Just a little plain for the fancy gold dress I’m wearing. But I’d probably Injure myself trying to wear heels lol. Everyone who I’m going with sees me every day so they know how I look in everything anyway. Everyone else is a stranger so do I really care if they notice my shoes or think I’m dumpy?

Something struck me this week. I have a coworker/friend who to me is just gorgeous - tall and slim. I complimented her dress and she joked that she’s wearing dresses this week because nothing else fits.

It made me realize that all of us struggle with those feelings, regardless of size. And that no one else can tell when we’re feeling bad about ourselves. Honestly, I have friends who are much larger than me and I think they always look amazing. I look at everyone and they are all comfortable in their skin because they look beautiful and confident. But maybe that’s what people think when they see me. We can only inhabit the body we have at any given moment and we need to face the world with self-love and grace.

@trooworld I do remember that BK slogan. The last time I checked I'm 54. Its been a while since I checked so I could be younger.

@sunflowerhippi it's totally ok to not keep up with all the chatting. Just chat when you can. As far as the weighing just do it by Saturday. @Katmary71 could give better info on that.

I didn't say it before so I'll say it now. Welcome to Team Mission Slimpossible.

You have another member joining your group ... Please welcome @rjv230

Hi MS..another new member joining your amazing team ...Please welcome @maryirisfroehlich

WEIGH IN UPDATES
WEIGH-INS NEEDED NOW:@littlebabekitty !Artemis_2024
Tomorrow Weigh in Reminder for the Following: @askewcr @tfelts147

@sunflowerhippi I'm glad you made it here! It “can” be a little hard to keep up especially in the beginning. Weighing in is the one thing that's mandatory then we love hearing how you're doing but don't feel you have to keep up with everyone. Honestly being active in the group has helped me not give up so even if you just poke in and say hi I recommend it. @19shmoo69 is right as long as your weigh-in is in by Saturday you're good for the week.

@19shmoo69 I'm glad you found your way back! Oh no you reminded me I totally forgot a question! Great job getting the workout in that's awesome. I'm listening to “I Figured Out Why Everyone Hates Me” right now on YouTube, lol, he DOES have an annoying voice. Who are your favorite YouTubers for good advice that you listen to? I've listened to some of the weight lifting ones but haven't seen Doucette before.

@lisalisa123 Funny that's a GREAT cover of All Cried Out, Lisa Lisa really sung nasally though she does have a good voice but I like the cover more. I wanted to shave the sides of my head and get my ears pierced like hers (did the latter but no head shave at 15 in my house).

@DrewsAnna I'm happy to see you back Anna! You look great yay for the beach! I hope your tendonitis is feeling better soon, it's frstrating to flare up like that when it's something that's also good for you. I have that with my legs getting worse if I walk too much.

@megnolia82 TeresaW2024 is awesome she's gotten through to me many times too we're lucky she's back with us. You rock that dress in whatever shoes you want and be fabulous! It's sad how mean we are to ourselves. When I wasn't happy with my looks when I hit goal a few years ago I did some soul-searching and nowhere does it say you can only be happy if you're beautiful and the perfect size. I would be really sad if someone felt they didn't deserve happiness because of something physical so it's awful we do that to ourselves. It's helped me stop feeling self-conscious about being in pictures or focused on how I look as much. Most people would be surprised you think they have it all just like you said.

@trooworld Those burgers were AMAZING even without cilantro! There's two left, pretzel buns would be amazing yum. That's definitely a keeper recipe! I made her best carrot cake and it was delicious too. I hope you're feeling better I'm sorry you're feeling low, thinking of you. I started taking GABA about a month ago and it's helping me by decreasing anxiety when my pain is real bad and I'm more relaxed in general. Sending lots of love your way.

@bethanie0825 Hi Bethanie glad you're back! Yikes I hope surgery goes well and you're feeling better soon. Please don't be embarrassed we care about you and your health first and want you here no matter what.

@laurelfit57 It IS expensive then the micro current machines are a few thousand, kind of frustrating. Love the idea of freezing the burgers! @trooworld has THE BEST recipes (and book suggestions). That sounds like a fun lunch! You sound like you're doing great and feeling a lot better, I'm so glad! LOL your pups are hilarous, glad they get along so well.

@maryirisfroehlich Welcome to Mission Slimpossibles! Is your daughter on MFP too? I hope you love it here as well. Be sure to check out the larger group challenges as well, @JessicaKrall8 comes up with a lot of awesome challenges.

Hi team! Love the energy here lots of new and returning friends and two of my feed friends are in our group! Still sad about the feed and hoping it's reconsidered. I woke early and got my workout in then went to the farm, Work was another boring day by myself, it's depressing being there now. I did meeting minutes for the garden club, watered the garden, and made @trooworld's burgers for dinner and here I am. I'm starting an ab challenge on the 1st, I need to find where I put it so I know what to do! Have a great Thursday friends.

@FushiaKat, I need to check out what MFP looks like now. I usually just come to this group, and that is it. I like your game of trying to see how much food you can eat for 1200 calories. That would really force you to make better choices like veggies, right?

@vegan4lyfe2012 I am praying for you, my friend! Come on, little Brayden!!

@laurelfit57 I got tired just reading about your busy day. Is Ty showing any improvements with her obedience class? Crazy little doggy!

@19shmoo69 What was the debate about? I Googled Greg Doucette, and there are a lot of people that aren’t big fans. I love the approach that Matt Fraser used with his friend. As someone just returning to lifting, I know that less is more. Or I won’t be able to move…or sit on the toilet.

@megnolia82 Yay, I loved reading your post!! I’m so happy that you are going to the gala and that your attitude is where it needs to be. You walk into that room with a smile and confidence and no one will be looking at your shoes!! I can’t wait to hear all about the event.

@trooworld The new puzzle is another 3000 pieces. I swear I’m a masochist. Thanks, I was happy about the loss, too. Those burgers look so good! I’ve taken the recipe and put it on next week’s menu. I am sorry that you are struggling with depression and anxiety right now. I hope the meds work and that you can turn those feelings around. My niece is struggling so badly right now, and we are praying she can get some help and meds. More on my sister’s stress below.

@Katmary71 Bummer that work is boring. Do you think the job will end? I think we all will be making those burgers.

Welcome to all our new members and returning members!! We are happy to have you here and hope you feel heard and supported.



Good morning! I didn’t post yesterday because I was hungover and spent the day doing nothing! My sister came home Tuesday so stressed out by her daughter’s stress and anxiety. She may have some postpartum, and she needs some meds for her anxiety. She will try to get to a doctor but has Medicaid, which can take a long time. I told my sister to find someone, and I would pay for it if need be. Anyway, my sister went to her TOPS meeting, came home, and handed me a beer. She said she needed to destress and talk. We stayed up until 2:30 am, drinking and talking. My sister has a tough time talking about her emotions unless she is drinking. I wish that weren’t the case, but I’m here for her. I didn’t work out yesterday or do any fasting. I’m back fasting today and will start a new Beachbody program called 3 Day Split. It’s with my favorite trainer, Autumn. The program is only 3 days a week. I will do my rebounder on the opposite days and probably at least 15 minutes of jumping on my weight-lifting days if Autumn doesn’t kill me. Have a good day…or evening!
