Hi @jessicakrall8 I’m so sorry I disappeared this week. Been looking forward to the new group but my Dads been in and out of the hospital and looks like I’m headed back tomorrow. Can you put me on the temporary suspension list please? I’ll be back as soon as I can! Cynthia

Wow! Thank you so much. That is super helpful to learn.

Thank you, Jessica! Oops, here you go: 11/14- 5,871

Oh I'm so sorry! I do mean keep going. It was on my mind to check whether if I'd already posted those because the past few weeks have been a blur! Also, I have an issue, especially with the new look of the site, of not being able to find things as easily on here. Does anyone know if there's a way to search your own posts…

BTW, love all the puzzle-sharing and book ideas. Right now I'm making my way through the James Herriot books, which I haven't read in a while, but I was inspired to re-read them after watching the new version of the show on PBS. They are so sweet and funny. If I can sit by the fireplace with a cup of tea while I'm reading,…

Ncfitbit Monday weigh-in Pw: 186.8 CW: 185.8 Definitely don't deserve this, but I'll take it! I was super busy and active last week so maybe that balanced out all the thanksgiving leftovers and pie? (Note to future self: Just because someone brings over 3 pies doesn't mean they all have to be eaten and you certainly don't…

ncfitbit Monday weigh-in PW: 185.8 CW: 186.8 Was doing so well until this weekend. @angmarie28, we had November birthday 2/4 this past weekend!

ncfitbit 11/7-7,920 11/8-12,251 11/9-6,058 11/10-15,738 11/11-4,373 11/12-8,458 11/13-5,971 Will check in with everyone later. Been running around all weekend, but hopefully I will have a few minutes to myself tonight.

This really resonates with me, too. I've been wasting too much time lately wishing things were different and I see my mom do it, too, and see how unhappy it makes her. It's okay to be sad or disappointed, I think, but I don't want that to be the focus of my life. I want to enjoy every moment I get with my mom and dad. I…

ncfitbit Monday Weigh-in PW: 184.8 CW: 185.8 I actually thought it would be worse after all the eating out when my brother was here so I will take this gain and just get on with it. I'm so glad to be on this team. Otherwise, I might have avoided this weigh-in and probably just slid into old habits for a while.

So happy I checked in this morning. So many inspiring things here! @Pupowl your photographs are breathtaking! Love it. I'm not great at taking pictures, but I am going to try to do it more often. I hope you have enough energy to get out there more often, too. My brother was visiting us since Thursday and just left this…

@jessicakrall8 Thanks for the reminder! 10/31-7,734 11/1-8,187 11/2-9,171 11/3-8,207 11/4-7,154 11/5-11,845 11/6-5,786 Replaced my Fitbit on Thursday and really love my new one!

@ewilhelm2487 , I'm late seeing this, but I just wanted you to know I think I know how you feel. I was trying to lose weight before I had my second child and then life got crazy! You are doing a tough, important job right now! I wish I had been able to appreciate that more when I was going through having small children.…

Monday Weigh-in PW: 185.8 CW: 184.8 Thrilled to be chugging along again, even after Halloween!

Welcome back, @Chalmation ! You're Cindy and I'm Cynthia, but I was Cindy when I was in school! I just wanted to comment that I know that feeling of having the wagon run over me! Thankfully, you've dusted yourself off and you're back on the road. The important thing is to get there. Doesn't matter how long it takes us.…

Wow, Jessica. Sixteen years of caring for your mom is absolutely amazing. Maybe you already said this, but I'm just blown away by it. My dad was diagnosed just four years ago but with all his falls recently we've had to wonder how much more of this his body can take. His facility arranged for a hopsice nurse to come out…

10/30-10,239 Step goal for November: 8,250 daily.

@jessicakrall8, quick question for you. How many weeks are left in the captains challenge? I think I misunderstood it to be a weekly, ongoing thing. I learned in week 5 that all the best-laid plans are great, but when things go awry, you just have to hang on and do the best you can in those moments. My struggle was that I…

Congratulations, Laura! Well done on your goals so far and wish you the best of luck in November. I love your positive but realistic outlook. I'm very inspired by it! I also think it a good thing to focus on the small victories and healthy changes we are making.

Thanks, Jessica! Great idea. :)

Welcome everyone new! I need to make a chart of everyone's name so I can keep track!

Hang in there! That happened to me last week and it’s worth being patient!

The Cardinals are my in-laws' pro team as well. I guess they were in St. Louis for some period of time? My husband is a diehard baseball Cardinals fan, also because of the St. Louis connection.

Thanks, @izzyred9400 ! Yes, so much better than to keep gaining!

Thanks, @jessicakrall8! You and this team are inspiring me not to give up!

ncfitbit Monday weigh-in PW: 187.8 CW: 185.8 Lost 2.0 of the 3.0 water weight pounds I gained last week so I'll try to be happy about that.

Welcome, @suziieq56!
