Thank you for the warm welcome.

@Katmary71 and @trooworld My daughter just joined this group as well, Lislisa123.

I'm just hoping I can keep up with everyone. Lol. My younger daughter is a good motivator when we go on walks. I joke that she is Jillian Michaels because she will push me to keep going. I'm thinking we are going for a 45-minute to an-hour walk, and then it ends up being a two-hour walk. She really kills me sometimes but it's all in fun.

@TeresaW2024 the debate is on jubilee YouTube channel. It was 4 fitness/bodybuilder guys vs 4 overweight guys. The fitness guys thought being "fat" was a choice. One guy, Myron, said society should go back to shaming "fat" people. I had watched some of Greg Doucette's videos and thought he would defend the other side a bit. Nope. I was wrong. Uniquely they said it was bad to overeat because it can cause health issues and yet Greg used to do steroids and another guy still does. Just to look better. Steroid abuse is equally unhealthy.
It all struck a cord with me. I wanted to do sports in school. My parents would not let me. Which made it more difficult to get picked for a team at recess. Since I was the bigger kid I got picked on. I didn't know why I was bigger I just was.
Greg said he helps people lose weight and achieve there goals. So I went and looked. I cannot afford MFP premium and after looking I then realized there was absolutely no way for people like me to afford his training.

Well that's probably more than you expected and way more than intended to share.

@TeresaW2024 I'm not sure on work, I wish the owner would step up both for the business and selfishly for me with teaching classes but I don't think she will. She's asking anyone who buys it from her to pay back rent and that lost the practitioner I see most often so that's not happening. DO make the burgers you won't regret it! Sounds like you're an amazing sister, I'm glad you're there for her but know that's tough as far as diet plans go. Enjoy the start of the new program!

@trooworld @bethanie0825 I did request you be moved to support last night, I came here first today but will make sure there's no issues after this. Yum on the baklava! I hope that migraine doesn't get too strong and exits fast. It's hard since you crave everything that makes migraines worse right? I remember that and I always wanted chocolate or cheesy pizza with tomato sauce when they'd start.

@txritter69 Sounds like you're doing very well! I hope you get to see the 160s soon that would be awesome. Good luck finding a suit today, hope you find something you'll be proud to wear on your trip.

@micaroo4 I hope you were able to get your walk in, somehow I think you definitely won't blow your streak!

@maryirisfroehlich That's awesome I'm glad you and @LisaLisa123 are both here! Enjoy your walk, she sounds like a great walking partner.

@DrewsAnna I'm not sure on the Google Sheet, I'm sorry. Do you need to copy someone's format? You could copy and paste then change your name on it.

@19shmoo69 Great point on steroids being just as bad as being overweight. Funny first date story, I'm sure your buddy will never forget being horribly embarrassed by you!

Hi team! On a little earlier, have some stuff to do later in the yard. Work was boring again, one of the practitioner's had a double appointment and turned out she got the time wrong and was sitting at home while they were waiting for 45 minutes! I'll call faster next time, they had to leave as they had another appointment after about 30 minutes away. I'm gathering micro current info for myself. I'm a little worried about getting my work credit out of treatment and supplements and am looking up things to buy for my machine, I'd like to get more appts in too but we'll see what happens. We got the greenhouse stuff caught up this morning and all else is well, need to crack down more with diet though. Have a great night and awesome Friday.

Logged onto app this morning and newsfeed is already gone. So sad.

@trooworld I hope you are feeling better today and that your migraine is gone. Any fun weekend plans?

@txcritter69 You are doing so great with your IF! Try adding the Premier Protein shake to your coffee instead of milk to give yourself even more protein. I used to do that and a bottle would last me about 3 or 4 days. I now use unsweetened coconut milk in my coffee. I can’t wait to celebrate with you when you hit the 160s!!

@micaroo4 I hope the rain stopped so you can get out and walk. I once knew a woman who walked 5 miles inside her house daily, and it wasn’t a big house! She would put on music or a podcast and walk her miles. Amazing!

@maryirisfroehlich That is great that you have a good motivator in your daughter. It is always helpful to have good support at home. And don’t stress about keeping up with us here. You do what you can when you can.

@19shmoo69 Good grief! If fat shaming worked, I would be super skinny just by what I’ve told myself over the years. And my dad fat-shamed my mom for decades, and it didn’t work. Our childhood sounds very similar. My parents wouldn’t let me play sports either, and once in the 7th grade, a teacher made me pull up my homemade shirt by my grandma to prove that I was just chubby and not pregnant. Talk about humiliation! Thanks for sharing, and we can do it! I love lifting weights, and I am far from being fit.

@Katmary71 Get all you are owed! Your new job definitely sounds more and more frustrating. What’s up with the charity these days?

@laurelfit57 I have never taken a spin class, but they look fun and hard! I admire your determination to get Ty where you want her to be. You are an awesome dog mom!

@AustinRuadhain I have missed seeing you! And, I understand the frustration of gaining so much faster than we lose. I once read that once we plump up our fat cells they want to stay plump, so they will do that much quicker. It’s one of the reasons losing weight is so hard and frustrating for us.

@vegan4lyfe2012 You and your horror movies! NO, thank you.



Good morning! I didn’t love my first day with the new workout program. Autumn does these crazy compound movements, and she likes to contort the body while we are lifting weights. I will give it the rest of the week and see if I can hang or modify it. If not I will move on. There are a ton of programs to choose from. Today, I need to cut Joe’s hair which is growing out of every orifice. Old men and their hair! What is up with that?

I saw this quote yesterday and thought it was great!

Consistent "bare minimum" will give you BETTER results than consistently waiting till you have the time or energy

Ice Breaker Question. It's going to be story time. The topic is humorous date story.

OK, I will make this quick. Joe and I met online, fell in love, and ten months later, he picked me up and moved me to Georgia to live with him. We had never met face-to-face before he walked into my sister’s house on my 40th birthday to take me to my new home. Yeah, we were so nervous. We said our goodbyes to everyone and got in his car for the long drive to our new home. Stopping at a small B&B for the night run by a woman who was straight out of a Stephen King novel was bad enough, but at that moment, I realized that I had left all my hanging clothes in the closet at my sister’s house! So, here I am, a woman much chubbier than I had wanted to be, with a man I loved but still didn’t know very well clothes shopping for a new wardrobe because it would be 6 weeks before we drove back to Florida to pick up my daughter. We laughed about that for years, but at the time, I wanted to crawl in a hole and die! It also solidified my love and adoration for my incredible man.

@trooworld
Getting back on track then! My Monday May 27 weight, to start out in June, was 215.2
