Yo ho! I have not fallen off the edge of the planet or anything - just enjoying lots of time far away from screens. Jasper and I have had some fantastic work sessions and trail rides - and I'm practicing for a couple of concerts and generally keeping very busy. It sounds like you are all doing well, but no more ankle sprains, ok?
Not so great a weigh-in this week, though...

Friday Weigh-In (late!!)
CW: 264.2
I forgot to weigh yesterday morning and had a big dinner Friday night so not surprised this is another gain. Resolving to have a better week next, and I'm just going to pretend July never happened. I have been SO off my game for a variety of reasons.
@YinxFed you may not see this but very sad to see you go, and wish you all the best!!!3 -

@Kali225 we all have months that are not great. Is there anything you learned from July that will help you in August?
I made it to RI back to my parents house for a vacation/time to complete continuing education hours. This was my original trip planned, I feel like I was just here. Dad is doing a lot better, just about back to 100%. He has an appointment with an oncologist in August.
I ate awful yesterday at the airport. My flight was delayed and I ended up landing at 2am. Then by the time we got off the plane and to my parents house (my sister was nice to pick me up that late) it was 3am. I went to go inside and as I opened the door, something flew by me brushing my hair and going in the house! I literally said "Oh f***!" It landed on the counter, and luckily it was a bird and not a bat. So I go upstairs say hi to my mom and dad (who wanted me to wake them up when I got there) and I was like by the way, a bird is in the house downstairs. So now it's 3:30am and we are trying to get a bird back outside. What a joy lol. Luckily it went outside pretty quickly and only pooped on a hardwood floor and not the cloth couch.
Today was a great day though. Stayed under calorie budget and had a wonderful walk at the beach! Not sure if you have ever been to Roger Wheeler (Sand Hill Cove) @wishfuljune but that's the beach my parents like to go to. It was a beautiful day, I got some vitamin D. Then we grilled out for dinner and I said no to brownies

I didn't wear my fitbit to the beach today, so have a lot more steps than recorded. But I need to work on increasing steps. I have an alarm set for tomorrow morning to go for a walk. Just hope I can wake up!2 -
Friday weigh in supposedly ha!

I’ll take it. Green. Was working on the garage today going through boxes of books from our move a year ago. Got my steps in. Still eating out too much. Hopefully next week will be better. I’ll make it so.
Still eat dessert just about every night when hubby asks. Need to do better. Need my clothes to be looser. High point - 3 Pilates and breathwork sessions this week.

Hi Michele! Great job this week. I assume you meant this weigh in to be 219.8? Let me know if it's different. But great job getting green! About the desserts every night, can you cut back somewhere during the day so you can have a small portion of the dessert if you want every evening?2 -
@lauren_989 Oh yeah I did so well, I lost one hundred pounds in a week! 😂 Yes, it should be 219. I think I would be invisible if I weighed 119.2

I had a good morning so far, got up early and went to the bike path and walked 3 miles with my dad. Now we are heading up to Boston area for my niece's 3rd birthday!

Have a great time with family in RI @lauren_989 ... that sounded like a stressful travel day topped off with the bird situation at the end but glad you're settled and focused on enjoying yourself now!
@micki48 Brad has a sweet tooth too and I definitely eat more dessert being with him than I would otherwise

I did not worry about getting my steps in this week. I think I have been stressed out so much that it hasn’t done me any favors. This week my plan is do more of the same since it seems to be working. I am walking during breaks at work, that has helped as well. Also I found Bake Believe NoSugar added dark chocolate chips. I have a couple of handfuls at night to help with the sweet cravings. I plan to continue making smarter food choices.2 -
Another great loss this week @Heathere244!! I like your plan too!
I overate way too much today. If I didn't go over a friend's house and just snack on junk food, I would've been ok. I knew we were celebrating my niece's birthday and planned for that. My friend invited me over after I got back and I ate chips and candy amd not just a few bites 🙈
I did go for a walk this morning and got an amazing picture of a deer! However, we also got attacked by many deer flies 🫤
Tomorrow is a new day. I have plans to go to the movies tomorrow night with my sister and see Twisters. I am so excited, as I loved the first movie. But I don't usually eat there and I need to make up some for today.

Let me know how Twisters is @lauren_989
Looks like whatever you're doing is working @Heathere244 .. great loss this week
My weight stayed stable over the weekend which is great for me as I have gotten in the cycle of trying to fight my weekend gain all week. So in this way I had a better weekend than most!
Lots of walking in store for me today and maybe hopefully a Peloton ride after work!!2 -

I had a good but rather unproductive weekend, we went to the pool on Saturday, and I got lots of walking in. Sunday we did not go kayaking, it was hot and humid and we just weren't feeling it.
I did make some eggs bites for the work week, I wasn't sure I would like them, they are cottage cheese, eggs and in mine, red pepper, onion and jalapeno. My husband absolutely loves them, he thought I was weird when I told him about them, so this might be a regular prep thing. Although I put them in cupcake liners, and that was a bad idea, but I was afraid they would stick alot, so if you have any ideas on how to get them to not stick, I would appreciate it. I read silicone cupcake liners work, but I'd prefer firsthand knowledge before I buy them. Maybe I should just buy a new cupcake pan, mine has seen better days...
I got up this morning and did some hiit exercises, it was only 10 minutes, but it was more than everything I did last week put together.
Then I went to the dr, for my BP check up, and I am off the meds. So I am officially off all meds for bad health, I am still on HRT, but I don't consider that a med, as it's need is not due to poor health, it's due to my age, and not wanting to deal with it.
All the aches and pains are better, so I am going to get back into the exercise this week, I think I will hold off on the squats until August 1st. So maybe a video this evening.
Have a great day !

Congrats on the all the losses this week.

I weighed myself on Thursday, but then never had a chance to log in and record it. I know it's too late to count for last week, but I'm going to share it so it's up to date for this week's weigh-in.

I did better this last week as far as exercise goes. I made it to three crossfit classes, two spin classes, and two days of pickleball. I just need to be better at logging my food. I very much dislike doing all of that on my phone, but I need to suck it up because that's my only option lately.
I do pizza bites with zucchini. I cut it into rounds and make those the pizza crust. Then I stack them with toppings. Zucchini chips are pretty good, too, and easy to make in an air fryer. Lastly, I love putting a little parmesan on top of rounds and cooking those in the air fryer.
I thought Twisters was really good. If you respect it as its own movie and try not to compare it too much to the original, it's great!2 -

@Lauren_989 great cardio again this week - way to go!0 -
@lauren_989 Glad to hear you made it to RI despite the chaos. Hope you get more downtime and sun. Beautiful pictures.
@Gidgitgoescrzy - wow fantastic victory getting off your meds. That's the best non-scale victory
@MaddawgMadsen - love the pizza bites idea

Had a busy weekend. We got our trailer ready for camping over the long weekend and doing all the yard work I've been avoiding because of our heatwave. Had a good workout this morning and meal is prepped for tonight.3 -

Going in the right direction. Looking forward to my new Saturday check in day starting Aug 10th. I travel on Thursday Aug 1st-Aug 6th, but I’m not too worried. Felt like I tightened up a little with food choices and mindfulness—I’m hoping I’ll get back into food logging again in August, but stay focused on my water intake.
@lauren_989
Thank you so much for the advice and @MaddawgMadsen app suggestion. I never thought to average my weight. I just figured “it is what it is!” Also, I don’t want to have the habit of measuring everyday. I kinda like looking on Thursday to get an idea of what Saturday could look like or on Saturdays to see what Monday could look like.
But I’m going to trust the process and keep making deposits. I feel like I’ll see the -150’s this year. Hopefully this summer!1 -
CW: 167.0 lbs
The exercise bike arrived on Saturday, took my first ride on it today. I did 10 minutes and survived
My regular workouts have been doing the 2nd level of a Darebee routine, so I did the 1st level today instead and added it to the time on the bike. 3 -
@Gidgitgoescrzy Great job being able to stay off your meds! That is a huge NSV. I have not made eggs like that in a muffin dish, but I have seen it. I figured it should come out with just using a spray like Pam, but I have never done it. Keep us posted!
@smcewen99 That is sometimes hard to track all the snacks you are eating. I have been trying to do that myself and I can see why my weight is not trending down at this point. More like lose 2 pounds, gain 2 pounds.
@Lyss983 Wow! Great job riding the bike! I hope you like it!
So, I knew I was going to the movies today, and so I ate a lighter breakfast and lunch. But I still ate a ton of popcorn, eek! The movie was really good!! I loved the first one, but I think I like this one even better!!
Tuesdays is when my parents watch my nieces, so I will have them over. It will be non-stop go go go, but that will help me not eat and move! I am going to pass on this week's weigh in. I don't want to weigh on my parent's scale when I don't know how it compares to mine at home.2
