I'm still trying to find my way on this journey, too, but feel free to add me as a friend.

I am still here. Got another 45 minutes on Sunday. Since I've been put on a restrictive diet and such after yesterday's appointment that means I'll be unable to do any of the exciting food challenges. If you would prefer me sit out till I get all this figured out, I understand.

Way to go @TangledThread. That's impressive!!! Welcome back @shockvalue07.

Thanks all. I've felt better the last couple of days. Enough to get E in so I'm not a complete zero for the team this week. Could someone log it on the spreadsheet for me? I can't get Drive on my phone. 3-30: 20 min 3-31: 30 min 4-1: 75 min I'll get more in today, too, as long as the tummy cooperates.

Hey all. Thought I would explain my absence. I spent a lot of Easter weekend and the first part of this week with a stomach bug. That wouldn't be that big of a deal to me but I got so dehydrated I passed out Tyesday morning walking from the bedroom to the living room. Went to ER and found out I was dehydrated severely. Got…

Hi all. Hope you had a good weekend. Monday is here with a new week. Time to get stair climbing, belly dancing, and all sorts of fun E.

Renee-- Maybe take a walk through the store to destress? Purposefully avoid the food section. Concentrate on outdoors, clothing, or health/beauty. Just a thought... That keeps you away from the tempting junk in the work area and in the store plus you get a little E. Just a thought. Have no idea if it's feasible or not.

Got lots of good E in yesterday. Hope to get more in today since my nieces and nephews are coming over.

What kind of work do you do? That can really impact the strategy given. It looks different for a receptionist than a nurse, for instance. Good for you for jumping back in!!!

Way to go team. We made up a lot of ground this week!!! Woo hoo! Let's keep it going!!!

Way to go!! Keep up the great work. I'm just being simple and boring with my eggs, but I'm getting it done. Have a good day!

Good morning all!! Glad to see water as a part of the challenge this week. I always excel at drinking water. No weight change for me this week. I had an abnormally large drop (for me) last week so I assume my body is just adjusting. Have a good day!!!

I usually don't eat back my calories unless I've done some strenuous extra long E. Then I add in a protein and smart carb serving after the E.

Look at the teamwork here. I love it!! Hope everyone has a great day today. It's decided to turn cold on the first day of spring so indoor E for me.

I find that while the number doesn't match because of the fluctuation in activity and food from day to day, it does give a good indication of what days look like that do positively affect my weight loss. Melissa, welcome to the group.

Happy Friday! I have officially colored the rainbow twice this week. Thank you for that challenge. It has really been beneficial. Thank you as well for the Irish recipes. I'll have to check those out. Zerlinna, hope the interview went well and hope you feel better soon. Have a great day everyone!!!

Can anyone give me a suggestion for an Irish meal not chock full o' sodium ? I am at a bit of a loss there. Have a thirsty Thursday and chug the water to drive it away!!!

We could go to Ireland a couple of times with those original minutes. :wink:

Good morning everyone! Tried to post yesterday, but I guess the posting monster ate it. Hope those of you who are sick are feeling better soon. Had a good WI. Will head over to the spreadsheet and fill that in shortly. This veggie color challenge is a good one for me. I tend to stick with the same old ones. This is forcing…

That's awesome. Way to go!!! Got in a more manageable E number yesterday for the team. Will do my best to contribute now that I am getting the hang of what the expectations are. Time to channel my inner Irish this week. Ha! Ha! Have a great day.

Hope you feel better soon!!!

I'll be able to contribute more than my small numbers today now that I am feeling better.

Good Sunday morning everyone!!! How is it going? Hope you have a great day!

Got it. Thanks! Will log that this evening.

Good morning everyone! I am feeling better today and plan to get some more E in to contribute to the group's success. @plainanjelik I can relate to the glasses issue. If I don't have my glasses on... good luck! Contacts have never worked out for me either. @mallowbar quick question about the spreadsheet... I have been…

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I think I have friended all of you or you have friended me. Let me know if I missed anyone. I'm home recovering from the stomach crud so my E numbers aren't very good at all this week. They will be better really soon. Safe travels Renee!!!

Hi everyone! @mallowbar was gracious enough to late me join after some on the team dropped out. I will be attempting to friend you all this evening. I have read through the thread and we have quite the diverse group. I am 32 and a high school social studies teacher from Missouri. When I started my weight loss journey I…

Something I have been doing is adding a protein shake upon arriving home in the late afternoon from work. This leaves me feeling full and has ended my evening snacking that would mess up so many of my evenings after a day of being on target.

Can I steal this??? I can really use it when I get off the scale 7 days in a row at the same weight!!!!!![/quote] Steal away! :smiley:
