All things aside..... I would say you got a little strength training in with the move..... You dropped a quick massive pounds with the relationship ending.... And well, gotta say tonsillitis as an adult??? Uughhhhh!!!!! Truly I remember going through the end of my nearly 20 year marriage coming up on12 years ago.... It is…

Wow Cristina.... I don't think I have ever lost weight on vacation. Way to go :) Tami

You are absolutely adorable, and will be stunning on your wedding day no matter if you lose a few pounds or not :) Since you only have 7 pounds to reach "Onederland" I would just shoot for 1 or 2 pounds a week and delight in the knowledge I was under 200 when I got married. Don't forget to enjoy every moment leading up to…

@tenpets ..... Oh my gosh Becky! You have to be the youngest looking52 year old I have seen in a long time :) Glad you had such a great birthday! Tami

Awesome you found something new you enjoy❤ Tami

Happy birthday Becky!!!! Hoping you have a GREAT day <3 Good luck today everyone on our daily goals. I was bang on yesterday with my changed up macros and got my swim laps in last night. Rainy today here so it is going to be an inside day for me, which means my focus is on the food and staying away from the kitchen LOL.…

Happy Tuesday Misfits :) Maybe we should rename ourselves the non losing losers LOL...... I'm right there with you on the frustration level. It's funny we are all looking to change things up this week to power through <3 I was just looking back to try to see where I am going wrong. It appears the weeks I have a loss my…

I keep cans of tuna, chicken, light & low sodium soups, rye crisps..... Apples, clementines,

❤

My mom has that too! She went to the dermatologist several years ago and I think they gave her either a cream or something that helped immensely. I can ask her if you want, Hers was so bad she had to put a towel under her hand to write or she would soak the paper and smear the ink. Tami

Outstanding :) I have no doubt you will reach your goal! Great job!!!!!!!

This weekend we are going to Chinook Winds at Lincoln City on the Oregon coast. We go clamming frequently out of Long Beach on the Washington coast and also spend time in the Gray's Harbor area..... Tami

Woohoo..... The land of misfit weight losers B) Good one Marie! Hahaha So glad everyone is back together again :) I couldn't read far enough every day to see what my friends were up to, and there is just no way to respond to everyone over there. I am sure they will keep it going and it is just going to be fine..... There…

Hahaha.... I definitely should Stan B)

I know my oldest son would have been thrilled to spend some one on one time with his dad :) If he balks at walking with you, maybe swimming would give you a good chance to be together doing a non impact exercise without making him feel like he's being forced into a talk every day because it is kinda hard to carry on a…

So excited! Today the scales were kind and gave me another1.5 pound loss officially putting me one whole pound into the normal BMI category :) 6.5 to go until I reach my goal weight (which unfortunately Mick for me is still10 pounds over the weight I was when I got married but I would look ridiculously thin at that weight…

So glad your knee is almost back to where you were Esther!! That has to be a huge relief :) It is raining here today also. We usually have huge amounts of rain, but this year has been unseasonably dry and minimal snow pack. Not a good sign for summer. Tami

Praying for you Sonya <3. I hope everything is okay..... Tami

Love the app too Rob..... Down 22 since January, 8 pounds or so to go :) I'm a shorty, so for all the times I blamed being a scootch under5' for the10 pound per decade weight gain I accepted as my norm... Shame on me! But I am nearly at goal and my focus is on the end result rather than beating myself up for past…

YES...., go to the appointment alone this time. :)

That's funny and very true LOL

Oh.... I forgot the stirfried pork with cabbage noodles. I bookmarked one that's has caramelized leeks and bacon with an Alfredo sauce, but I have not figured out the nutritional info on that baby yet LOL. Probably better left for when I hit maintenance and have a few more calories to play with :) I use that Asian Garlic…

I'm a confirmed zoodle-holic :) Pinterest has tons of recipes. Some of my favorites are Kung Pa o Chicken..... chicken with kale and mushrooms..., Asian meatballs with a lime cilantro sauce.....and one with garlic chicken and asparagus. I want to try them in pho and I am definitely going to look up the pad Thai recipe. Yum…

Good morning Marie and Janice❤ I keep thinking some of the people in the 4th challenge will drop off, but it just keeps getting bigger hahaha.......

Definitely add some potassium rich foods to your plan for a day or two after.... I'm sensitive to sodium and it really has helped me when I have too much sodium.

The pool I go to is pretty warm.... Depends on the day, but they always have the temp posted where you check in. That's the only way I can get in, that's for sure :) There are always a few real lap swimmers using the lap lanes, so we usually take the area next to the rope until they are done and then move over. It just…

So excited! I lost a whole pound this week.... bringing me to one-half pound away from hitting"normal" BMI <3 Off to our Tuesday night swimming :) I agree with Nuffer that it is a great way to work out, but I'm more aligned skill wise with Butbygrace and do a mean doggy paddle LOL. I started at15 laps in an hour and a half…

Wow... The 4th challenge thread is wild LOL :) I think I misplaced the link to our weight loss totals??? How fun Marie. I never call it getting lost, but I sure take a lot of unintended adventures haha. Enjoy that beautiful great grandbaby and your time with your family <3 Tami

Hi Connie... Sorry I'm so late but wasn't near internet today. Count me for 18 pounds :D SW 150 CSW 147 CW 129 GW 120 Everyone did so amazing!!! Can't wait to see our grand total and start our new challenge! You are all such a terrific group of "losers" <3 Happy Easter everyone! Tami

My food budget is around$130 a month for 2 of is, with a third person frequently. I buy spices, rices and grains in the bulk food section and it's incredibly cheaper than the packaged goods. The dollar store is good for spice too. There is also usually one day a week your supermarket puts protein on special because it's…
