pokes head back in Kinda doing horrible, very, very stressed for various reasons. Spent the last few days mostly living on candy and diet cola. So I feel icky AND I gained at least 2 lb. Spouse has been appointed Keeper of the Candy to slow me down. I am also back to trying to get at least 2 liters of water a day. I think…

@frankwbrown Team Support could work. I might even have my act back together by July, if I hit some good luck. @Tomsgal1985 offers a hug I know the feeling, believe me.

@frankwbrown Hi, I'm posting my weight for this week, so I don't mess up the paperwork, but I need to drop out, pause, whatever it is called. I am bouncing between the same weights without losing, and I feel like I'm dragging the whole team down. Add in my family stress and daily chaos and I just can't do this, right now.…

morenin Thursday check-in PW: 216.8 CW: 221 ⬆️ 4.2 lb. Okay, it's been a really terrible month (year), and I definitely ate too much junk lately, but not 14,000 (4 lb. of calories) worth! It's very frustrating that it keeps bouncing up and down like this.

lays on floor How can I be so busy, yet accomplish nothing? Anyway, I didn't walk on the treadmill today, but I DID walk an extra 1,000 steps just doing stuff. I think I'm going to add meditation to my habit list, the chaos that is my life is weighing me down. I keep overindulging in junk to feel better. >< Definitely not…

So, three habits to build, three misses. Something unpleasant happened, and I got upset and couldn't sleep, so here I am, up at 2AM. I also had not one, but two double chocolate muffins in addition, a bad coping habit I need to address… somehow. Too busy/upset/distracted, so no chair yoga and 10 minute walk. Ah, well.…

Day 2 of trying to add more movement to my routine! Yesterday I got 10 minutes of walking on the treadmill in, but didn't feel up to chair yoga. It was also date night and I didn't mind my eating (which is why I moved weigh in days off Saturdays), but we had a lovely time at one of the haunts we've not been to lately. I am…

I'm under a lot of family stress at the moment, and it's leading to me eating high calorie junk and basically becoming immobile. I need to break out of that, I'm pretty sure it's what's making my body so creaky lately. So aiming for 10 minutes of walking (that don't involve walking around the house), and restarting chair…

@frankwbrown Sorry, forgot to post my steps yesterday! Could you please remove me from the Step Challenge for now? I think I have increased my average per week a bit, but I'm not hitting the numbers I wanted yet. I feel like I'm letting the team down, and it's all kinds of stressful. I checked the May Habit Tracker to make…

@Grandma16grandkids Welcome! I hope you enjoy hanging out with us! weigh-in: Thursday PW: 219.2 CW: 218 ⬇️ 1.2 LTD: 37 Step goal: 5,000 5/27- 924 5/28- 1,920 (My steps were artificially low yesterday, I had to update the programming on my Fitbit, then leave it charging, so I only wore it half the day!) I really, REALLY…

@frankwbrown Hi! @sunshinezombiegirl1 is traveling at the moment, and unable to post. She will be posting tomorrow. As for me, I'm kinda blah at the moment. I had some trouble with my CPAP, so it's been several days since I got some quality sleep. I think it' fixed now, so hopefully I'll be able to repair my sleep…

@frankwbrown Sorry for the delay! Daily Step Goal: 5/22- 3,520 5/23- 1,734 5/24- 1,447 5/25- 1,667 5/26- 3,976

@frankwbrown I am so sorry, I thought I'd posted! I've been sick since last week, so my steps were puny, to say the least. And 5/14 isn't going to be accurate, my Fitbit died and had to be recharged. So sorry. 5/14- 704 5/15- 1,659 5/16- 1, 766 5/17- 1,360 5/18- 812

Daily step goal: 5,000 5/8- 1,169 5/9- 2,019 5/10- 2,544 Apologies for waves at self I've both been sick and having to deal with the care of my 85 year old mother, so I'm a hot mess and feeling overloaded. Trying to recommit to do better today!

@frankwbrown Hi, I am so sorry, but I'm on day 2 of what seems to be a mild stomach flu. My steps are only going to and from the bathroom, so they won't be great for a bit. >.>

@PatriceFitnessPal Honestly, I JUST cleared my treadmill of… laundry that needs put away last night. We've got a treadmill in the basement, a recumbent bike in the family room, and several different sets of dumbbells (and my prized kettlebell). About 15-20 years worth of stuff built up. I am also very fond of bodyweight…

@frankwbrown grins Honestly, I've really let myself fall apart the last couple months. So I'm going for the low hanging fruit of moving around the house actually catching up on housework! If, on the off chance I don't hit my steps, I'll probably hop on the treadmill if it is raining (like today), or very busy with people…

@nancyinmiami , congratulations! Good to see the cat distribution system is hard at work. I have a cuddly Void too, he's my darling (and doesn't get along well with my 35 lb. dog who was here before him sometimes). Sorry for being so quiet, an unusually violent storm ripped thru my city earlier this week. The city as a…

@nancyinmiami I definitely heard that! So, I have been very stressed and depressed due to a lot of things currently happening in my life. So I ended up mainlining the last of the Girl Scout cookies. Needless to say, my weight suffered this week… Oh, @frankwbrown I should start counting my steps Sunday to join, right? My…

@Tomsgal1985 Neither am I, truthfully. But we can stay on the journey together.

morenin Thursday weigh-in SW: 255 PW: 218 CW: 215.3 ⬇️ 2.7 I've been avoiding my beloved dairy (I am allergic) for just a few days now and I am literally depuffing. I guess this explains the sudden weight gain/ puffiness!

@nancyinmiami I am currently reading John Scalzi's latest! On a side note, has anyone else noticed the quote functionality seems to be borked?

My weight keeps hovering in the same 10 lb. or so, which is irritating. What makes it worse is that my stomach has gotten so puffy my new jeans won't fit! It's VERY frustrating. Weirdly enough though, my wrists are ever so slightly thinner (I can now encircle them with a thumb and forefinger). I'm really feeling like my…
