@trooworld That's a great price for the classes, I hope you go! I also hope you remember no one's focusing on you plus being in the water no one can really see you either if that helps. I'm excited for you!
@TeresaW2024 Thank you! Aw I'm glad you and Joe are making plans for your anniversary, a day trip sounds like a perfect idea.
@Cornanda Thanks all is logged!
@micaroo4 Yum the food sounds delicious! They don't sound like the worst choices but definitely check out some other stuff like the frozen yogurt Yasso bars or fruit bars (the Carb Smart may have similar nutrition info to the yogurt bars in all honesty). I'm swapping fruit for dessert right now.
@865jessica You're doing amazing keep up the great work! Your intro is very inspiring!
@tammymccrady6278 You're still a part of this don't worry! I love reading how happy and appreciative you are with your profession. Enjoy the BBQ! I'm going to one tomorrow and even I didn't get a healthy appetizer so it's going to be a challenge.
Hi everyone! The horticulture center was a lot of fun, two other women in the garden club were there and we hung out. I completely forgot my walker so that was a pain! It's real hot today too so I was home by noon (it's 104 now). I did get a few things from the herb nursery who was a vendor there (the one I went to in spring). I did a light workout, wasn't feeling too hot this morning plus I walked a lot at the center so I just did some stretching. I have to get the Board Meeting minutes done next have a great night!

Hi everyone!
Really brief intro from me: I’m Meg, 42 year old Canadian mom of 2. I’m a teacher and my husband is a farmer and firefighter.
On mfp for many years and struggling with weight for many more. I’ve had great success when I track all my food every day. My problem is momentum: something always interrupts and I get out of the swing of it and suddenly months go by and my diet is out of control.
Tomorrow I’m heading camping for a week so I’ll be off the grid but hopefully the hiking, swimming and kayaking will mean I have a healthy, active week!
I’ll check in in the morning. All the best to you all this month!4 -

Currently on a bit of a vacation. That means lots of eating out. I will have to try to be mindful of what I order. The nice thing is there will also be lots of walking.
Congrats team on making the leaderboard!3 -
We went to the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen 91st annual Craft Fair this weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy the fair the way I like. We were with another couple, and the man has problems with his knees and didn't like the uneven ground inside the tents. He also has a lot of anxiety about being in crowds, so after walking through only 2 of the 8 tents, he wanted to view only from a distance. We were basically walking past all the tents, glancing inside, and continuing along the fairgrounds. He said we were getting an overview - but he really prevented us from shopping. At 2:00pm, he said "So are we done here?", basically giving us the signal that he wanted to leave, now. I told Rich, I am tired of having to curtail my activities because of someone else's infirmities and anxieties. We are planning to go to 2 or 3 more craft fairs this season, and I hope to actually be able to shop at the next one!

Hi, I'm Lisa
Live in FL. DH of 32 years. 2 young adult children still living here. Dog- Gus- a little guy. Exercise- walking and step aerobics and strength training. My weight is kind of stuck right now.
PT gave me permission to walk up to 1.5 miles. I am sore after that, so I will ask about it at my visit today. DH and I are going to visit his Mom later this week (in Wisconsin). Gus will stay at a sitter for part of the time and with my daughter for the rest. He stayed overnight with the sitter this weekend to practice. There was a little dog there who he enjoyed playing with, but he got anxious during the night and since he's home it's like he's either mad at me or recovering from the flu. Mom guilt!
Debby is raining cats and dogs on us right now, but this is pretty much all she will do here.

Good morning,
I am Sandy a retired correctional officer. Married to my DH 28 yrs. I am a mom of 2 wonderful children and Gmom to 5 grandsons. We have a cat Tigger and of course my crazy Diesel.
We live in central Tx. My family moved here when I was 8 so this is my home, In my younger adult years I lived in other places but seemed to always return to this part of Tx. John and I love to travel. We finally bought an RV trailer so that we can do some longer time out traveling. I have a bucket list of places I would like to see here in the US. it will be a yr or 2 before we will be able to actually do a month or two on the road but I am really looking to the day we get to hit that road.
My journey continues as I am working to lose the next 5 lbs. I have learned over the course of this journey to take it in small steps. By the end of August I am hoping to be under 165. This goal is achievable. So here's losing the next 5 lbs in the hottest month in Tx.

Wahoo on the Slimpossibles for having such a good last week! ⭐
@trooworld Girl, I looked at that recipe, and it is intense! I used to love to make complicated recipes, and now I live for when it’s sandwich day, and all I use are two plates and a knife.
You will have to let us know how it went and how it tastes. 
@micaroo4 What a bummer that you couldn’t enjoy the craft fair! I suggest leaving that friend at home when you go to the other fairs. You gotta get inside those tents where the good stuff lives!
@Cornanda, I hope you have a good visit with your mom! Those little dogs are very good at giving us a guilt trip. I’m sure Gus will be just fine while you're gone but will require tremendous attention from you when you get back home.
Good morning! Thanks to Hurricane Debbie making landfall in Florida, we are in for a couple of rainy days, but it shouldn’t be too bad. Maggie is going for her 6th-week check-up this afternoon, and I’m praying that the vet will clear her to be a little more active and to go to the groomer. She is so bored and looks like a hot mess! I had no snacks or sugar yesterday, but we did order a pizza since I forgot to thaw chicken for dinner. So today, I will thaw that chicken and stick to healthier eating. Have a good day!

@trooworld – How’s your knee doing? I am right there with you on going someplace alone. Doesn’t even have to be a new place for me. I just hate it regardless. I won’t begrudge you not going. I’m sure your long cooking frenzy was like Sweatin’ to the Oldies!
@Katmary71 – I haven’t watched Dr. Giggles in decades! I should re-watch it for sure! Hahahaha! Maybe your roommate needs an appt with Dr. Giggles…just sayin’… P.S. Looks like Jasper contributes more to the household than that roommate of yours!
@TeresaW2024 – So did you settle on where to go for a day trip? I love little excursions
@micaroo4 – What a frustrating person that man is. Why would he agree to go to a craft fair if he knows he’ll be in pain? Definitely make the next craft fairs little day trips for just you and Rich. I’m so sorry that happened.
@Cornanda – Gus giving you the cold shoulder…hahaha!
So I’m guessing either my scale isn’t working right or I had way more salt the past few days than I thought. Like is it even possible to gain 8.4 pounds in a week? I don’t think so. I’m sorry, team. I really don’t know what’s up with that. Like I know I didn’t make the best choices, but I definitely did not eat almost 30,000 extra calories.
I need to get back to batch cooking like I used to. I would pick a bean of the week and grain of the week and make several servings of each that I could mix n match with whatever veggie I wanted to quickly steam. Ugh. Motivation is non-existent. I need to just freaking DO IT.
On a happier note, we found out the gender of my grand #5…it’s a GIRL! My son is happy cuz he wanted another girl. My DIL kinda wanted a boy this time. Maybe next time. I was fine either way (like it makes a difference). So we will now look forward to Amelia Kay in February
I hope you all have a wonderful day and enjoy a delicious piece of fruit! I’m about to eat a Michigan Peach. Over the sink in the breakroom cuz it’s really that juicy. Ciao!

Hi,
I'm feeling good about my weigh in on Wednesday. I have really been trying to get back at it and the scale is reflecting that so far, lol... now, maybe I won't screw it up. 😂😂😂
Y'all have a great day 😀6 -

Weigh in Reminder for tomorrow to the f@FushiaKat /b] @FushiaKat
I went to delete someone from the weigh in whose post I hadn't seen until after I posted and my last one had disappeared so had to redo, I have 30 minutes before I have to be at Bible study so I'm eating then doing some watering. I'll catch up more later if I can, have a great night and Tuesday everyone!
How're those doing the challenge doing? The BBQ yesterday wasn't great but back to it today.3 -
Whew! I thought I had emotional eating under control. Nope! I dint! 1000 calories over. I'm not going to beat myself up over it. It tasted good. Now to sip on electrolyte water.8

Good morning Slims
I had a very productive day yesterday. I'm on vacation next week, so I've still got a lot of work to finish by the end of the day on Thursday. If no one adds something new to my workload between now and then, I might just get it all done.
It's raining here today, and cool. Today is my day off. I heard the rain on the roof, and I slept in a bit. Probably indoor workouts today. I will still go outside walking, and try to make my steps.

Good morning,
Congrats to all the losers for July! Well done each one of y'all deserve a pat on the back.
I am sorry that I am quiet but just real busy lately in the morning. We are now in the hell month here in Tx. so the only time I have to be outside is in the morning. We always pick the hottest month to do outdoor projects and this time John decided to extend the patio so the hot tub would be out of the grass. As you can see in the first pic it is sitting just of the patio.
We are heading back out this morning to pick up more flat rocks so I have to cut this short.
Will catch up later with everyone.
Have a great day!4 -

I hope it’s ok if I post. I’m not currently on the team and can’t rejoin until September as I decided not to weigh in for the summer hoping to see a nice loss at the end.
@19shmoo69 i thought of you this morning when I went to write in my food journal. I love the saying on the front

Sorry I havent been so active. I had ben dealing with sickness and just not myself. Finally found out what was making me sick. They found I had fallopian tube infection. Healing from that. Gained back a couple lbs due to just not having any energy to really worry about what I eat. Back to the game now and still going strong.6 -

Hi I'm Kathryn, Kat for short, I have 6 Cats and 1 Husband to take care of it's a full-time job. We've been married 35 years. All of our Cats are Rescue Cats, they adopted us. I like to play an on-line game and have been playing the same game for 16 years. It helps to distract me if I'm in a lot of pain. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis to manage, it can be challenging at times.
Can you say HOT! My Car said it was 112 the other day when I went to the pharmacy. Ugh I'm getting dental work done Saturday morning and I'm anxious about it, they said they are going to extract a tooth on the top that I'm not using since they extracted the lower one last year. I'll pick up some soup and can mushrooms on Friday which is my Market Day this week since I will be busy Saturday morning.
Congrats to the team for making it on the leaderboard I'm so proud of you!♥6
