Thanks, Barbie! I thought "Standard Poodle", but I have never seen one that color. Is brown a common color for standard poodles?

Checking in. Nothing new here. Work work work. Jack is going to be a very dull boy. HAHA! 😁

Barbie - what breed is the brown dog on the right? Just curious.

Love the photos of your dogs, Ann! Reminds me that I need to take more photos myself. @linnieaikens - Good advice from @trekkie123 and @AnnPT77. My goals are 30% carbs/40% fat/30% protein. That works best for me. Just find what works for you. Good to see all the people posting in this thread. Please add me as a friend if…

Super transformation. Remember what Fernando said:

Good day, all! We made it to hump day. That's at least half the battle, right there! Have an awesome day!

Love your inspirational posts, Ann! Thank you!

Heard that. Those people are T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

Sure. Join us. No one is checking ID's at the door! HAHA! :D

Hey there, all you crazy people! Haven't checked into this thread for several days. Good to see y'all are still rockin' and rollin'! It's good to be busy, but this is ridiculous! Working the weekend, too. Did get a hike with the dog yesterday and I will take her out later today, too. Have an awesome week!

Sounds awesome. Starting to plan for a river trip in about three weeks. I needs me some campfires and running water. 🎣⛺🥃

True for me, too. I'm just trying to maintain around 190 and call that good. Here's hoping that 2021 is a better year for all of us.

Hey y'all. Just checking in here. Reached a new low weight today - an unexplained whoosh - but I'll take it. Happy dance! The smoke has mostly cleared out in Idaho, so outdoor walking is back on the agenda. Have an awesome week, all!

That sounds yummy, Teresa! 👍 Let's all try to keep this thread going. I try to check in every two or three days. Hopefully will have a little more time when winter gets here. Have an awesome weekend, all!

Thanks for the kind words, Ali. I talked to my fishing partner yesterday - we are going to monitor the situation and alter plans as needed. We're looking at 6 weeks from now. Things could be all clear by then.

Greetings to all the new posters in this thread. The mutual support and encouragement that you get here is the best feature of MFP. Keep checking in and sharing your experiences.

Planning some fall camping and fishing. Stupid work keeps interfering with plans for fun activities! AARRGGHH! Hoping the fires die down and the smoke clears out soon.

@SuzySunshine99 - I thought the same thing. I have to put the blinders on when I go to Costco so that I don't see the peanut butter pretzel bites HAHA!

Greetings, seasoned citizens! Hope everyone is doing well. Did some work and some food prep over the weekend. Two long walks with the dog - the skies are hazy but the the smoke doesn't bother me. Donated platelets Sunday morning. My granddaughter was away so I missed my Jillie time. The only mild downer in an otherwise…

Kym - can I get you to come over and give me a kick in the butt? Please? 😁 I need some motivation, too. I am walking almost every day, but I haven't been in the gym in a month.

Where are you planning to move when your house sells?

Have an awesome weekend, my friends. Platelet donation on Sunday. Hopefully some food prep over the weekend. Got some steak marinating for jerky now, so will dry that tomorrow. Need to spend some time with my granddaughter. What's on your agenda for the next few days!

Agreed, Jan. One of the pros when I decided to get a puppy was the added exercise that I would get. The part I forgot - it's added exercise every day. HAHA! 😁 What type of puppy do you have, Jan?

That means that autumn is near - my favorite time of year!🍁 YAY!

Hey, all you seasoned citizens! Hope you're having a good holiday. I'm using the off day to catch up on some work. Getting a head start on the week without the usual interruptions. Walking the dog later today, 'cause some things never change! 🐕🚶‍♂️🔥

You've come to the right place. Most of the people here are very helpful and will encourage you. Check in every day for support. Good luck on your journey!

Eating a lot of carbs and eating at maintenance can help to reset your hormone levels. The mental aspect is also a factor of a break from the restriction is also helpful for…
