@lauren_989 wow wow wow, that looks scrumptious. I got more steps yesterday than I have in a good while, about 14k which is double my goal - but sadly my left foot (which is the BETTER foot of the two when it comes to this long-standing tendonitis issue) was really hurting by the end of the day. Clearly overdid it. And I…

Friday Weigh In CW: 249.4 I'd like to blame part of this on my time of the month, but it's really just been poor eating lately. And not a ton of exercise! Gonna try to kick my own butt a bit next week.

@MaddawgMadsen I'm mad at your husband too now, fyi. ridiculous behavior for a grown man!

@strong_fit_ells I hate feeling like a particular weight is just a wall for some reason (there is some research to suggest these are "set points" where your body really is fighting to stay at or above that weight), but you also got great steps so far this week!!

@lauren_989 step goal is 7000 for me! Definitely met it today with my commute to work + dance cardio tuesday! One of my friends came in person to dance around and then I ended up giving her the full sniff tour of my candle collection. I forget how we got on the subject. But speaking of, I am looking for a new everyday…

Steps for me too - May 1 - 7282 May 2 - 10111 May 3 - 5416 May 4 - 7897 May 5 - 7280 May 6 - 8245 May 7 - 7046 May 8 - 5031 May 9 - 8339 May 10 - 7728 May 11 - 5031 May 12 - 8264 Gotta find a recipe to share, the chickpeas sounded great! I so rarely cook with chickpeas. I had dinner out tonight with my sister at a great…

@lauren_989 way to go on your 5k!

Happy Sunday all - and a happy mothers' day for any US-based moms in our midst! It's gorgeous weather out today so I am trying to figure out if I want to go kayaking or try to get house chores done. Not quite as warm as I would like it to be, but so much better than the 5 days of rain we've had. My binge eating has been…

Friday Weigh In PW: 245.7 CW: 246.9 Not a great week, and I don't think the ~9 drinks on Wednesday night were any real help. :/

Recipes it is! I had a pretty good day today, although it started with a nasty hangover from a work happy hour-turned-late-night-multiple-bars-situation. Oops. But I got some great feedback at work, which was validating, and the rain finally let up in time for me to go kayaking after work. My back muscles are feeling the…

Hi all! A little late to the May party. Rain has hit the Boston area hard, and I am really crossing my fingers that it moves on before the weekend so I can go kayaking again! @lauren_989 Yoga with Adriene on youtube has a video called Deep Core that I have gone back to again and again and again. She emphasizes no…

by some miracle, it was a beautiful day in Boston today, and the rain held off until about 6pm! Kayaking was a go!! I did 2hr, 10 min, it was so gorgeous. I've never been on the water this early in the season, so the water level was higher than I am used to - which means the current was stronger in some places. Extra…

Friday Weigh In CW: 245.7 lol yep

quick check in. I think my weight will be up tomorrow. I finally emailed my doctor about stopping that medication, and I was honestly too afraid to look at her response for like a full day. But she agrees, stopping is a good idea, and I will still have my scheduled appointment with her in late June. She warned that weight…

I have such a long list of things I would like to accomplish today, and it is already noon. But, probably the 2nd-most timing-consuming item is done; getting my car battery replaced by AAA. Glad that is taken care of, but of course, not cheap. I woke up to a gross rainy day, and the sun briefly came out, but seems to have…

I am also so behind on reporting steps, sorry about that - not sure where I left off… @ashleycarole86 I think I saw a note from you some time this month that you are behind on steps reporting, sorry if I double report some dates here - but no pressure! Everyone has so much going on right now it seems. I don't think I sent…

Friday Weigh In PW: 244.1 (I think) CW: 239.9 Sorry I missed last week, I've been totally MIA. Yet again, a good loss driven by stomach issues. I told this group about a new doc I was seeing way back in July 2023 to help me with weight management. That doc wanted to try the medication route, so first we did an ADHD drug…

Friday Weigh In PW: 247.1 CW: 244.1 I don't know if this is real loss, when I unfortunately came down with the flu last week (went to urgent care on Monday to get tested). Eating has been odd, movement limited. I think I am finally starting to feel better, but as always, looking forward to my bed on a Friday night lol.

@lauren_989 So sorry, can I be excused this week? Came down with some kind of nasty cold (I hope nothing worse) and didnt weigh in. As it stands, I am staying in bed today with a baked potato and several boxes of tissues. @Alatariel75 so incredibly sorry to hear about your husband! Keeping you both in my thoughts <3

@ashleycarole86 steps update, kind of forget where I left off sorry if these are repeated March 23: 8572 March 24: 7545 March 25: 7258 + 28 min dance cardio March 26: 9736 March 27: 9309 March 28: 7303 March 29: 9086 March 30: 7953 March 31: 8207 April 1: 9058 Quick intro - can't believe it is April! I'm Kay, 30, living in…

Friday Weigh In PW: 244.1 CW: 247.1 1 step forward, 3 pounds back…. blargh

@ashleycarole86 that is so much news!! congrats on all these things. definitely an opportunity for a big reset of your mindset. I had today off to get a bunch of doctor appointments out of the way for the year. I've been pretty down on my body this week, just absolutely hating the way my stomach looks from the side…

@Gidgitgoescrzy that is going to be a gorgeous kitchen!! @ElfBodGoals awesome NSV, and a reasonable goal for 8-10 gym visits a month. Do you do workouts at home? I am aiming for 2 non-walking workouts a week total (I typically workout at home) so about 8 workout days a month for now. I didn't grocery shop yesterday since I…

@ashleycarole86 steps update: march 16: 7661 March 17: 7589 March 18: 9221 + 30 min dance cardio March 19: 8500 March 20: 7333 + 22 min dance cardio March 21: 8629 March 22: 10784

Friday weigh in PW: 245.2 CW: 244.1 Happy with this but my eating still wasn't good this week.

Getting back around to the discussion question… I think the year has not gone quite to plan for me, for a lot of reasons. March is the first month where I started using my habit tracker again (didn't reorder in time for Jan and started Feb on vacation), and I think it has been good - I went somewhat easy on myself for the…

@Lyss983 great loss!! @Gidgitgoescrzy I love the idea of green in a countertop! my favorite color @wishfuljune and @lauren_989 I hear ya - definitely letting my "friday night is takeout night" get a bit out of hand the last few weeks. I might try switching to takeout every other week, and pushing the portions of my meal…

@ashleycarole86 steps update for week 2: March 9: 8342 March 10: 7957 March 11: 7698 March 12: 9105 March 13: 8700 March 14: 7786 March 15: 9070

Friday Weigh In PW: 245.7 CW: 245.2 I truly don't understand the human metabolism. One of my worst weeks of recent eating, and I go down half a pound?? @lauren_989 ugh hate waking up in the middle of the night!! hope you got back to sleep soon after that post…

@fourathomej so sorry to hear about your daughter, that is so sad. @lauren_989 I was definitely feeling the lost hour earlier this week. Last night I slept terribly, too, but that was mostly because I fell asleep with my glasses on, headphones in, light on, and woke up very confused at 1:30am. ugh. Confession time - I…
