@jam5660 great job! You are doing wonderful and YES it definitely shows! It is hard for us to see it on our own bodies, but believe me it shows. Keep up the good work.

@happygirlxxx, Ana, I am so sorry to hear about your little dog. Having just recently lost my Yorkie/ShihTzu after 16 years I know how heartbreaking watching one get sick can be. I am hoping for a great recovery for him. <3

This is kind of a Tuesday - Goals, Thursday - truth posting for me. I am pushing myself to do more things with friends, family and new acquaintances, so today I'm driving about two hours to celebrate the 4th. I would rather stay home and read a book. The truth is, I used to be very outgoing, always with friends and on the…

@happygirlxxx don't change the template, I'll just do what Karen suggested and put in my weight from 7/1 as my starting weight. Sorry, I wasn't trying to make anything harder for you. I actually never met for anything to change date wise, except for the starting weight date. Thank you again for doing this for us!

Sorry @Nikion901 I don't know where I got the idea you volunteered to record again. :( I know you did the first challenge and we all really appreciate it! Also, many thanks to Helene @sand86802 for a great job tracking this challenge. @happygirlxxx so glad you are able to record for this new challenge, I do have a question…

Goals - for this week it's simply to try to get back on track and not let the grieving for my little Yorkie/Shih Tzu derail my will power. I had to have her put down (what a terrible expression) last Friday, although I knew all week that it was going to happen. I know it was the right thing to do, but it was extremely…

@RobinB0812 I have kept track of the 5 week mentions several times, just for fun and most of mine were right on target! Except today's which said I will gain weight if I continue like this! (see below) @Nikion901 desk by window! :) Well I have a heavy heart, it's been a hard week for me. I decided over the last weekend…

It's Wednesday and my weigh in day. Not down too much but for the last few weeks I seem to have a small lost (or gain) one week and then a big loss the next week and then repeat the sequence. So I'm still hoping to make my goal by the end of the challenge! Ready for Summer 10 week challenge Name: Barb Age:69 Height: 5'3"…

Thursday truth. It seems like every time I hit another 10 pounds off I start to stray off course. I was so excited to hit 40 pounds loss and then yesterday I ate all day and even in the evening. Then I couldn't sleep (happens about once every couple of months), I went to bed about 11:30, woke up at 2:30, laid there until…

@tabletop_joe "admittedly ambitious, but if I fail, I still win." I love that, I set my goal a little high too (or should I say low) and was worried about not making it. I am a proponent for the power of positive thinking and yet I never looked at it that way. Of course, even if we don't quite make our goals we still win!…

@birgitkwood What a small world! :smiley: I grew up in Oneida County, NY in a very Welsh community. I had no idea at the time that my ancestors also played a large part in the settlement of the area. :)

@birgitkwood and @Nikion901 it is so interesting to hear your stories of foods from your childhood and homeland! I envy you, I have always felt like I was missing something when my friends would talk about "the old country" or where their parents or grandparents had been born, or when they had come to the US, etc. and all…

Friday fitness, went to the pool with my friend who is visiting. Didn't do a lot of "swimming" as such because we were visiting and talking as we floated, but I did continuously tread water and work my arms back and forth thru the water, which I can definitely feel! I did this for over 35 minutes both Wednesday and today.…

@FourLynne62 would you consider carrying a small container of pepper spray? Though they say be careful if you have to spray it that you don't have wind blowing it back into your face. :( Good luck, I hate that you have that, I love dogs but am still scared when one comes rushing toward me. @campfirequeen1 I am so glad you…

@birgitkwood thinking of you and hoping all is well soon. That must be very scary. Take good care of yourself and keep us posted.

Looks like some of us did great this week but others of us (myself included) struggled. I know we can all recoup and have a better week for the next weigh in! All of a sudden my sodium seems to be going over daily. I'm trying to be careful but I still tend to check calories and not sodium and then when I go to log I…
