Hi Tiger! I found your progress photo! I got confused and looked at the photos in your profile first! You are looking GREAT! SO much smaller and slimmer! And I love the pensive look of your cat looking towards the window? Maybe seeing a bird! LOL You have done such a great job! Looking better and better! I also carry a lot…

Check in for April 5 Logging - yes Exercise - not really - just a short walk to the park Steps - 4320

Check in for April 4 Logging - yes Exercise - yes Steps - 16 877 I just got a message from someone that was so insensitive and beyond crossing boundaries. I'm just going to breath and remember that this person is going through a hard time themselves. Please don't be insensitive. Don't cross other people's personal…

@mszoueb Congrats on your 100 days of logging. Awesome streak! @iradi8 Good luck with the surgery! I know I will be scared when I have mine. It is normal and natural. I'm sorry you have to go through this, but you are strong and you can do it. I hope your healing and road to recovery is quick. @rwood566 Great job on…

@lindamtuck2018 Username:Lelbarou Weigh in Day: Monday, April 5 PW:287 CW:283,2 Hi Linda, I realize I have not been using the correct formula for giving my weigh ins so I have done that above! Sorry. Well things are going better. As far as having the thoughts about eating bread etc. I was reminded by something someone said…

Hi @azkunk, it's frustrating when our weight doesn't change, but you are right that the scale will come down. I have had weeks where there is little or no change and then in two weeks it drops quite a bit. You definitely have the right attitude to succeed and I'm sure you will. I'm glad your rower is coming and exercise…

@Beautyofdreams - Thank you for your concern about my stomach and your kind comments about my 25 000 step goal. You are very kind and I appreciate you. @lindamtuck2018 - Thank you for your support. I'm hanging in there. I am very sensitive, but I'm also one pretty tough customer! LOL I will see this through. Just it's very…

Hi Megan @Megan_smartiepants1970 My steps for yesterday were 8889. ( April 3) April 3 check in Logging - yes Exercise - yes Steps - 8889 I wrote a long check in about things this morning. On the positive side, it was my sister's and nephew's birthdays today. I sent my sister some flowers and she enjoyed them as well as my…

Hi Lee. So glad you have so many fond memories and that you will be there to keep his wife company. I'm so sorry for the children as well. Just terrible. I'm sure you will be there for them too. I can understand your heartbreak. I'm very happy you had such a good friend. Have a good rest and take care my friend. You are an…

Hi friends, I just wanted to tell you that I am really, really struggling. I have been on MFP 170 days and I feel like things are getting hard and harder. I guess I made an assumption (wrongly so) that over time things might get easier. The fact is nothing is getting easier, I think in fact it's just getting tougher and…

Hi Lee, I'm so sorry for this sad outcome of your friend. It's so very sad for someone we love to pass, but it seems an extra level of hurt that he is so young. I always feel so badly when a younger person passes. It sounds strange, but if I ever were in an accident, I would rather I die than an younger person. People…

Check in for April 2 Logging - yes Exercise - yes Steps - 7384 Well. Unfortunately, I ate something my stomach like and I threw up. Sorry to be graphic, but tis true! Anyway, I only got one walk in! I felt really dubious, had a nap and just felt pretty yuck. I have two stomach conditions, IBS and GERD, and either one can…

Hi @rwood566 - Wow! You have a dark sense of humour and I dig it! LOL Great job on your increased activity. If we don't hear from you, we will send the ranger out! But I know you CAN do it! YAY! You ROCK! Awesome progress!!!

@rwood566 Great loss! Thank you for compliment about my steps! I'm so glad you already got your shot, but that is terrible that people don't social distance esepcially when they are possible risks to others. I'm sorry this happened. You are much kinder than me! I would have been telling the person off and telling them to…

@Bluetail6 and @lindamtuck2018 - Thank you both for your kind comments and continual support! I really appreciate both of you and the wonderful support you provide me both in the support group and on the main page! You are sooo AWESOME! ❤❤❤❤❤❤💕💕💕💕💕💕 @Megan_smartiepants1970 - Congrats on the loss and awesome news that your…

Although I have many, many failings or weaknesses, I realize I am capable of great sacrifice. I can see this partly because of Covid. Sacrifice is natural to me and is not that difficult for me. It's something that has shown up in other parts of my life, but it helps me with the pandemic. One make sacrifices not just for…

@lindamtuck2018 - That is super that you and your hubby are getting your vaccines too! YAY! We are just constantly in lockdown in Toronto and in Ontario, right? The truth is with or without an official lockdown, I am staying as safe as I can due to being in a very high risk category. I just walk, stay at home, occasionaly…

Check in for March 31 Logging - yes Exercise - yes Steps - 10872 So, a good day yesterday with walking and eating. This morning I decided to splurge on hot chocolate, but it turned into hot chocolate plus bagel and cream cheese. I will have a hard time just making it under using my exercise calories which I usually try not…

Check in for March 30 Logging - yes Exercise - yes Steps - 8849 Well yesterday was a busy day with some supply on top of my regular two classes. Eating was better. I just did a long walk this morning and hope to do another one this afternoon. Have a great afternoon everyone!

@azkunk - I hope your stress in your job goes down a bit and that your calcium and PTH normalize. Your grill looks awesome so I hope you get something to cook on it soon! @TheresaM787 - Thank you so much for your sympathy and support! @Megan_smartiepants1970 - Thank you regarding the steps. Honestly, I had very little…

Check in for March 29 Logging - yes Exercise - yes Steps - 8085 Well, my despair and incredible confusion seems to have drifted past thank God! Ha Ha! Also, I have made some realizations about my food choices among other things. I am bored to death of the food I'm eating and simply not enjoying my food. It's true that…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Sorry. I know I just told you to put me on 8000 steps, but can you take me off the step challenge for a while. I don't I can manage it this week at all. Thank you.

Weigh in (quel disastre!) March 29 lelbarou PW 284.6 CW 287 I'm exhausted as I've been up most of the night. Was procrastinating and just feeling bad almost all weekend. Anyway, been working and took a little cap nap here and there. So much for being in the green...anyway, we all screw up, right? I really had a big screw…

You are a real inspiration. You have managed to weather recent tragedy and kept on going, Just amazing!!! Kudos and congrats!!!!

@mszoueb - Thank you for your post. The recent friend who let me down is someone I have known for a very long time and so it does hurt. I'm lucky that I have one true friend I guess. Some people don't like to go deep at all. I also have one sister who has many limitations, but I accept her as she is my sister and she does…

Hi Linda Thank you for your comments. I think a lot of the stress is work related. I have those two upcoming job interviews, but I'm freaking out. I'm wondering maybe if it's not the right time to take on more work. I do have the one permanent part-time, but the IELTS class if I get it will really stress me out. Not just…
