  • Focus on the positive - that's some amazing hard work you've done for June! I'll be right with you for July and we can cheer each other on. I know my June has added some lbs, but we are in it for the long run....
  • Hey TBBTers! I am back from Belize and boy do I ever need the July challenge after all those carbs (beans and rice, tortillas, beer, and rum, etc) When we landed last night, my fitbit app said I walked 64,000+ steps - lol! I did NOT walk home from Belize, I promise. It somehow adjusted itself now. Since Fridays are my…

When you've completed your exercises, shout out: DONE! Tagged you now you're IT! @_____" OMG my user name is too looooonnnnggggg! I'll see if I can…
  • @maryc11 - you are so incredibly inspiring to me and I hope to be up there with you in the winner's circle one day soon!
  • If you click on the 'hamburger' menu on the bottom left, you can choose which sheet, including hidden ones, to see: Then when you are in the sheet view, click on the arrow next to the sheet name to duplicate and rename the new copied sheet. I find that's the best way to make a new week, if you ever need to do that!
  • You guys - I really miss being in the challenge! It's so easy for me to slack without the accountability. I am looking forward to checking back in July and rejoining with new dedication. (and probably a horrible starting weight) You guys keep up the great work - this group is so supportive and helpful. Sometimes you don't…
  • @HASWLRS that sounds like me. My sister has THREE boards, and has invited me out for years but it just always seemed like a big production. Since getting vaccinated and surviving (so far) the pandemic, I made a vow to start doing some of my bucket list things, and today was one! I hope you try it out, I was amazed at the…
  • @DaffyGirl88 you should try it, what a great thing to get it delivered and picked up! My sister says it's a lot easier in a lake than in the Gulf where I went, so I'm looking forward to trying that one day, too.
  • @JMTiv1979 - The June spreadsheet was hiding behind May Week 4, so I moved it forward to the front. See if you can see it now? It feels weird to NOT be in the challenge this month. I think I'll do the spreadsheet for weeks I'm here with wifi just to stay accountable. I tried out SUP (standup paddleboarding) today with a…
  • Hi everyone! I am not 'officially' participating for June because of travel out of the country/off grid for two weeks, but I'll check in here when I can, stick to good habits, and be ready to roar in July. YOU GOT THIS TBBT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've been working from home since 1999 (minus 3 years in a classroom) and I never want to go back to an office! Leggings and bare feet for me, slippers when it's cold! This morning I got out early so I could see the lunar eclipse as the moon set. It was GORGEOUS and now I am all done with my walk with time to chill before…
  • Monday 5/25 tracked - yes under - yes water - 80+ steps - 2569 exercise - no Had dental work yesterday and it took me out most of the rest of the day, so it was a planned no exercise day.

  • Hugs for your hubby, and you, @cmhubbard92! (I think I need a map of people's user names to their real names) I need some group think. I normally wake up about 6am and have some quiet time, then like to meditate about 7 or 7:30 and then go on my walk. My work starts at 8:30. Most days this works just fine. But when my…

  • Ahhh, you didn't have to revise the results - I usually don't post til the following day because I am a morning person, but Sunday I was lazy and it took awhile to get to Saturdays post. As for all you spring chickens and your older men, my 83 year old mom married a YOUNGER MAN! He's about 8 years younger, her third…
  • yesterday was a good day - hope to continue that today. It's always hard when hubby has an 8am meeting because it throws all our schedules off...we are so stuck in our ways! Monday 5/17 Steps: 7511 Water: 80+ Log: yes Under: yes Exercise: yes (TWO walks!) Also, last week on MUAC I had only one zero, when I went slightly…
  • and so am I and then some!!!!! Sometimes I think it's ok to just celebrate, and then come back to center! Except, I also am a lightweight now with alcohol, and it doesn't take much to make the next day feel like crap....which I guess over all is a good thing, right?!
  • Didn't get exercise in yesterday with several church and work commitments and a lazy morning, so I ended up over on cals by 94...funny how things cascade. This morning, I'm back on plan and heading out for my walk right now! Sunday May 16 Tracked: yes Under: no Exercise: nope Water: 80+ Steps: 1895
  • NO, please don't go beating yourself up. You do so much positive for all of us - always encouraging and supporting us. Life goes up and down, just like weight. Being here is important, caring work and you are one of the best! Please be kind to you and feel my virtual HUG coming your way!
  • @HASWLRS - Thanks! That's a good point about this week's results, so I went and corrected last week. I also logged your weigh-in for this week, and noticed we don't have one from you for last week. Was that a carry-over week for you or should I look back and update yours, too? Today started off with an unexpected meeting…

  • I've got access back to our accountability sheet AND the May sheet for all teams, so that's great. However, my weight for last week is wrong and I am not sure if I should change it at this point. I actually went up last week and it shows as a carry over. If I change it we may not have won last week - that's a whole can of…
