@purple1butterfly - Not a problem, you are officially excused for next week. Have a lovely vacation!!! Are you planning anything fun? (also, I am assuming you meant 77.1kg - let me know if your typo is anything other than the wrong first digit)

@busoxnardmg - Happy Monday! This week is going to be insane for me, I'm wishing a smooth one for all of you!

Ugh I hate how this never seems to copy right. I am curious to see how my steps will look the rest of the week. I go back to work with the schools and I will be an aide this year instead of a Secretary.

@minstrelofsarcasm

Yes that I meant 😂

We are at a music festival

Question of the Week: What song always gets you pumped up and feeling ready to move?

@minstrelofsarcasm Anything with a good hard beat. I like a lot of different music so it's hard to just pick one. Lately "Disease" by Lady Gaga, "Kickstart My Heart" by Mötley Crüe is always a good one, and "Here It Goes Again" by OK Go.

Okay I think I’ve actually found my grooove. Calorie deficit is the way to go… I may have been eating at maintanance calories before for my body type?

I thought for sure I gained weight because my doc put me on new meds that have a little bit of a reputation for weight gain- I was super hungry. It’s a few days course though. I tried to stick to my calorie budget for the most part, ate more salads this week and did 1 intense workout and 1 super slow workout but didn’t workout as much this time d/t shark week🙄🫣

@minstrelofsarcasm yes I am a new member. Saturday weigh-ins are perfect. I’m actually required to weigh myself every Saturday by a program I belong to. It’s called fruit street and it’s for people who are prediabetic. If your A1C and glucose levels are at a certain number, you’re accepted into the program. They send you their own scale and when you weigh yourself, your weight gets sent directly to the fruit street app. We have a zoom meeting every Saturday morning with a registered nutritionist and dietitian. You’re required to weigh yourself by Medicare, who pays for the program, before the meeting, otherwise you’ll be kicked out of the program. So far I’ve learned a lot!

@blessedgrandma5 You don't need to close your account. Just decline the friend requests.

@blessedgrandma5 i have been getting tons of friend requests. Some of them will even keep resending them. I just keep denying them. I haven’t accept friends anyway since mfp changed because you can’t see anyone anymore.

I also got new friends requests since I started to be active here.

Try something new:

I really can't remember exactly per day.

I was sick so I implemented new things but without particular order

New fruit,some yellow berries, that look like yellow cherry tomato.( I think the name is Cape berry)

Instead of reading,I listen to some episodes related to psychology.

New meal: new sushi rolls

New habit: switching off my phone.

New activity, or ritual that I'm going to practice every day: stretching and having a tea on the terrace, before all other activities and duties.

I am going to start posting my daily and weekly steps today. Unfortunately, I will probably never reach 10,000 steps. I suffer from degenerative disc disease in my spine. I have also developed severe osteoarthritis in almost every part of my body. Just walking from my apartment door to my car is sometimes painful. I do water fitness and as soon as I hit the water, my pain seems to go away completely! I do exercises in the water that involves walking so I think that where I get most of my steps in. I hope this counts.

Ooooh, I love adding new faces to the team, welcome aboard @Linette1234 @Pearla14 and @rockitfree !!!

I'm Ashley, one of the team captains here at Team Weight No More (along with the lovely @melaniedscott ). If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to post them here! I'm a chemical engineer and a certified personal trainer, so I am more than happy to cover anything technical (I've also lost quite a bit of weight over the years, so I know what you're going through). Happy to have you here!
