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.

@txcritter69 That's awesome. Congrats on that! That's interesting about your protein uptake. Happy (early) anniversary! Share some pics when you go to Goliad State Park, please!

@askrewcr Woo hoo! Congrats!

@maryirisfroehlich Awesome to have you both! Don't worry about keeping up, just pop in when you can and say "hi". Read what you want to, skip some stuff, it's all good! That's good you have each other to cheer each other on.

@DrewsAnna Hey girl, don't worry, I made you a spreadsheet. You just have to edit the dates and months, but the format is there. I couldn't tag you in the Google Sheet to let you know I did it but you are all good. I used @micaroo4's format. If I have time today, I will change the dates for you. Stay tuned!

@19shmoo69 HAHAHA! That's hilarious! Oh my, I don't know if I can top that but I'll give it some thought and post below.

@Katmary71 Thanks. Yes, the baklava was yummy, I'm glad it was just a small piece! Nothing seems to make it worse (besides noise and light), it's either there or not lol. But today, it's back (unfortunately). Some people have triggers like chocolate etc. but my triggers seem to be weather or stress-related. I hope you can use all of your credits, that would be a bummer to miss out.

@laurelfit57 I do occasionally, but I don't have full-on binges like I used to. If I do eat for comfort, it's more like we pick up a pizza that day and I have 2 slices. Yes, goofy dog stuff is always uplifting! Sounds like you had a good day. Way to get that exercise in! I'm sorry about the frustration at Ty's class. She's going to be a great, well-behaved pup soon.

@AustinRuadhain Good to see you, my friend! You are always welcome to be here. Hugs.

@vegan4lyfe2012 Ooh I'll have to watch that, thanks for letting us know!

@Sunflowerhippi Congrats on the loss!

@TeresaW2024 Thank you. It was gone yesterday but is back today. BUT...I think it is fading so I may not have to take medication. Plans for the weekend: I, unfortunately, have to work on Saturday for about 4 hours. It only happens about once a year but this is the Saturday. It's going to make my weekend fly by. Ugh. That's really the only plan. How about you? That's good you can move on to another program if you don't like this one. Good luck with the haircut! I REALLY like that quote, thank you for sharing. That's a funny, but sweet, story.

Ice Breaker Question. It's going to be story time. The topic is humorous date story.
It was around the Fall when I first started dating my now husband. We were going to spend our first Thanksgiving together along with his sister and his brother. I sooooo wanted to impress his sister and brother that I decided to make homemade rolls. Had I ever made them before or even worked with yeast before? NO. When they came out, they were like hockey pucks! To my embarrassment, my husband picked one up, opened the kitchen door and threw it against the shed where it went PING! and bounced off, unharmed. It was hilarious but mortifying. Since that day, I have sought revenge on roll recipes and every few years, I attempt to make rolls again. I've semi-successfully made sweet Hawaiian rolls, Parker house rolls and skillet rolls. I will avenge this memory someday!

Hi all. The medication took the migraine away yesterday but I woke up today to another one. I think it is fading though, the more that I drink coffee and sit here. Luckily, I get off at noon today since I have to work tomorrow for a bit. I have a couple of appointments so it's not like I will be enjoying myself. I did well yesterday.
