@ChristBeforeCheesecake Welcome aboard. Nice first weigh in! @Jactop You crushed it this week! Way to go! Going sugar free is working for you! @GabiV125 I hope your fitbit syncs once the weather clears. Maybe the fitbit just can't see the satellite? I really have no idea how fitness trackers do their magic. I would be…

Username: buniphuphu Weigh In Day: Monday Week: 1 SW: 345.4 PW: 319.9 CW: 317.6 LTD: 27.8 It's a new month, and I reached a new milestone: yesterday, I reached 100 hours of swimming for this year! Not too shabby since I started in July with 3 days a week and have progressed from there. Swimming still is helping with…

Hi Everyone. I'm sorry I've been AWOL this week. The weather has been cold, wet and miserable, and I've been feeling droopy. I've kept up with logging and swimming...well I missed swimming one day, but I made myself make up the missed minutes on other days. I figured up that I'm almost to 100 hours of swimming since I…

I have been really stressed out over my doctor's schedule to try to lose that 23 pounds. Yesterday, I vomited after I ate lunch I was so stressed out. Today, I decided I'm going to go back to what was working for me: swimming an hour a day, eating a calorie-appropriate diet, focusing on fruits and veggies, healthy…

@davidji82 Great loss! Two miles is quite an accomplishment! Keep it up! @Cornanda Big number for you, too! Woo hoo! Rock on! @trooworld You are kicking tail on that bike, girl! You deserve a gold star! @GretchenReine Welcome back! It looks like you had a good week. I know it's frustrating to start over, but you will be…

Username: buniphuphu Weigh In Day: Monday Week: 3 SW: 345.4 PW: 323.0 CW: 320.0 Last week I was excited because I had surpassed 20 pounds gone; this week I'm over 25 pounds gone! My diet tweaks seems to be going fairly well though I must admit that I hate the period of time before I can eat in the morning with the 16:8 IF.…

OK...I have a plan. I really don't think the ortho has any kind of clue, but if I increase my exercise by a reasonable amount...say 15-30 minutes a day...cut my calories by a bit, and introduce some intermittent fasting...maybe 16:8...perhaps I can average 2.5 pounds a week for the next 6 weeks. That would put me within 8…

I just got home from my surgery consult for my shoulder, and the dr thinks I need surgery because I've done all the right things. Unfortunately, I am 23 pounds too heavy to have anesthesia (for anything other than a complete emergency). I have to get down to 300 to have surgery. He wants me to do it in the next six weeks.…

Username: buniphuphu Weigh In Day: Monday Week: 2 SW: 345.4 PW: 325.4 CW: 323.0 I'm feeling great about another good week. It's been unseasonably warm here, so I've been able to swim without my wetsuit since Wednesday. I swam 1.5 hours on Saturday, and nearly 1.75 hours on Sunday (but then my watch ran out of juice). I…

I decided to try a new veggie today: buttercup squash. I had roasted buttercup squash with cinnamon apples alongside grilled chicken. It was good! Next time, I think I'm going to add a pinch of cayenne because I felt like it needed a tiny kick to it.

Today I'm trying something new with my October walks. I don't have time for a dedicated lunchtime walk because I have a doctor's appointment, so I'm walking three times around my pool each time I get up from my desk. Since the pandemic, I work from home, so each time I refill my water or whatever, I do three laps. I'm…

I have this dirty little secret... I like Sausage McMuffins....or at least, I like the concept of Sausage McMuffins. I like sausage, cheese, and English muffins. The reason I bring this up is that I drove through McDonald's this morning on the way home from dropping my daughter at class. Whenever I get one, they end up…

@Jactop I'm sure it is water retention. I have faith that next week will be better for you. It's hard to stay on plan while traveling. @Cornanda I wish I could find the "secret sauce", too! I would slather it all over everything...lol

Username: buniphuphu Weigh In Day: Monday Week: 1 SW: 345.4 PW: 328.6 CW: 325.4 Happy dance! The cold water really burns through calories as your body tries to warm up. I've done two wetsuit swims now, too, and it burns through some calories, too. It is a completely different type of swimming. There is a LOT of drag, and I…

Happy Sunday, everyone! I'm Marki, and I've been back on MFP for just over 10 weeks, and this is my third month back with the Slimpossible. I have a long road ahead of me because I have 150ish pounds to lose, but I'm down 20 as of today. I'm a dedicated swimmer...I just got a wetsuit to extend swimming season. I just…

Anytime @jugar! It's a great group, and I wanted to help spread the word. :)

In August, my goal was to reach my daily exercise goal 8 times. In September, my goal was to burn 20,701 calories (not sure where they came up with that figure). In October, I have to walk or run 19.2 miles.

I have been back on MFP for 10 weeks now, and I've lost 17.8 pounds. I'm looking to lose at least 150 more. I could always use more friends. If you're looking for a good group of people to help support you along the way, you could join a challenge, like I did. I'm a part of this group:…

Today I have been back on MFP for 10 weeks. In that time I've lost 17.8 pounds. I've swum 75 hours and 15 minutes, and I've logged all my food. I started back on Slimpossibles in August, and I'm so grateful for you all. I've got a long way to go, but it's been a good first 10 weeks. @TeresaW1020 That tooth sounds painful!…

Today I took some positive steps (literally) towards next month's goals. I decided that my goal for next month is going to be to take a walk during my lunch hour in addition to my swim. My phone has been complaining at me that my average steps are down this year compared to last year...of course they are iPhone! I work…

@gharvey2753 @Firefly743 @judi_kay_4 Welcome to the group! We're so happy to have you along! @fitnessinmy30s Welcome too! Be sure you follow the instructions that @TeresaW1020 gave for the official F2F signup! We want you to be all official and everything. :)

Username: buniphuphu Weigh In Day: Monday Week: 5 SW: 345.4 PW: 329.1 CW: 328.6 Really pleased with how September has turned out. I'm on track to meet my goal of swimming an average of an hour a day. I'm going to have a couple of chilly swims today and tomorrow, but Wednesday should be a bit better. I just picked out a…

@GabiV125 Congrats on the milestone! Those are always exciting! You're doing great with your walking, too! @trooworld You are really rocking your 3-bite challenge! I wish I had your willpower. @Jactop Great job getting exercise! I love being able to get in extra movement in the course of my normal activities, even if the…

Username: buniphuphu Weigh In Day: Monday Week: 4 SW: 345.4 PW: 330.3 CW: 329.1 It's been a pretty good week. I'm doing well with swimming despite the fact that the weather (and the water) is getting cooler. I'm up to 21 hours and 47 minutes worth of swimming this month, and I haven't done today's swim yet. We're supposed…

Username: buniphuphu Weigh In Day: Monday Week: 3 SW: 345.4 PW: 330.4 CW: 330.3 Not a great loss, but I'm inching in the right direction. Even though it was pretty chilly last week, I still swam every day. I'm averaging 61 minutes a day for the month so far. It's been an up and down week. My son moved in with his flighty…

Username: buniphuphu Weigh In Day: Monday Week: 2 SW: 345.4 PW: 334.5 CW: 330.4 It's been a busy start to the month. I met and exceeded last month's swimming goal. I wanted to average 49 minutes a day, and I averaged 52 even though I missed 8 days. I have set a new goal for this month: an average of an hour a day. This…

@Hilogirl2018 Welcome to Slimpossible! It's a lot of fun here! I hope you enjoy it!

Good morning everyone! It's been quite a week, and it's only Wednesday! Sunday evening, I was going to enjoy a second swim in my pool, not laps, just messing around. I had been in the pool for about 5 minutes when a snake swam by! EEEK! I was done! Hubby scooped it out with a net, but I've been pretty traumatized. I swam…
