I think you got counted (Ashley or @jugar must have taken care of you, It was listed when I looked).

Good morning WNM! Welcome to all the new ladies & gents! I'm Melanie and I'm from Kansas. I’m the other team Co-captain. Truly, Ashley does most of the heavy lifting. My (short version) story I was always was skinny (no, not thin, skinny, all knees and elbows). At 18, I weighed between 110 and 120 at 5"6'. Maybe. I got…

You will be missed.

Melaniedscott Sat weigh in PW: 224 Cw: 224 Okay. No more messing around. October must change. My husband and I have been discussing this and changes start tomorrow for both of us. The biggest will be doing more walking. Street walking (hey! Minds out of the gutter!) or gym, don't care...but there will be walking. The other…

As I'm reading this, I am literally eating candy corn out of the bag. I buy 1 bag a year...but I should not be grazing on it. Don't know what I will do ...will think on it.

Yes! It is fab.

Melaniedscott Sat weigh in PW: 220 Cw: 224 Grr. I have my doubts I actually gained four pounds this week because, you know lots of salt and, as Ashley, a booster a few days ago, but still, this is getting ridiculous. I'd been taking a stimulant to counter the utter exhaustion at the beginning of the summer. In Aug, I was…

Yes! It is fab.

Melaniedscott Sat weigh in PW: 218.4 Cw: 220 Sorry for my absence recently. I've been really busy at work and just keep losing track of days and time. Everything just gets away from me.

Just finished Desperation in Death by JD Robb, which was pretty good, despite being totally predictable (it IS, like, book 50 in a police procedural series, we all know what will happen: bad kitten will go down, kitten-kicking police Leiutenant will find the bad guys with the help of her cute side kick and…

Just finished Soul Taken by Patricia Brigg. Was pretty good. Am re-reading the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde. SO funny

Having a piece of cake should not cause that big of a problem. Having the entire cake might be an issue ...

Melaniedscott Sat weigh in PW: 218.4 Cw: 218.7 Not really making progress. Maybe Sept will be better.

Melaniedscott Sat weigh in PW: 218.1 Cw: 218.4 I spent the am mowing, then weeding (well, I pulled up the nasty weed preventer mat around my daylilies that did not prevent weeds, just made them creepy albino mutant weeds), then I trimmed tree growths and pulled up some viney creeping weeds in my lawn. And now I am worn…

@jugar @bumpbreakcar will be ready to come off support in September.

Melaniedscott Sat weigh in PW: 219.8 Cw: 218.1 Clearly water weight. I did not weed like I planned last week. I did nothing. Doc put me on antibiotics for sinus infection. The sinuses feel better, at least. Ran out of M&M's at work...no more M&M breakies. Did better eating real fodd and not crap this week. Still too much…

Melaniedscott Sat weigh in PW: 218 Cw: 219.8 Back and forth between this is water weight (high sodium yesterday...let's be real, all week ... and still sore from heavy weeding last weekend) and I need to get with the program ... This week has been M&M's or cheetos for breakfast every day and quite a bit of takeout (pizza,…

This is a good one. Also Games Criminals Play, which is not by the same author but...similar content. Mostly because criminals are...(wait for it!)....PEOPLE!

Can we excuse @pizzafruit for last week & maybe this one? She has had some medical stuff going on. Also, I heard from @no_more_weighting and she (?) changed her mind about participating in the challenge and has asked to be removed.

I send friend requests to all our group-- if they don't accept, I can't do anything about it. If they fo, I typically send them a note.

Melaniedscott Sat weigh in PW: 220 Cw: 218 The past couple months have been non-stop crazy and it isn't looking like it will change any time soon. The upside is that snacking complicated if I'm on the phone/zoom all day. The downside is I get no movement.

You can get sardines at Chick-fil-A? Who knew?

@jugar I just heard from @Badunkadunk_Buster and she has been on vacay, which is why she didn't weigh last Sat. Can we put her down as excused? (Maybe this week, too, sounds like she might still be out and about?)

So glad the results are better! Nice loss! Way to go! I've spent a bunch of this evening flipping through the...1000...photos I've taken at the botanical gardens this year. Yup 1000 photos since Jan. Really, since April. Last weekend, I got some excellent shots of hummingbirds and hummingbird moths. And quite a few nice…

I know, right!?! It has been Monday all week so far, how can it possibly be Wednesday?

♥️♥️♥️ Gaiman! He does everything well!

Good evening WNM! Welcome to all the new ladies & gents! I'm Melanie and I'm from Kansas. I’m the other team Co-captain. Truly, Ashley does most of the heavy lifting. The last month I've been a bit MIA because...life. I can't guarantee I'll be better in Aug/Sept because my job is headed toward (more) crazy hectic as the…

Can we excuse @HorsesRock9999 for the last week of July--turns out she was on vacay. Also, @BodyTalking gave me a late weigh-in of 179.15 (79.9 kg)--can we take her off the drop list?

Melaniedscott Sat weigh day PW: 218.9 CW: 220 Ooff. So, the last two weeks have been total insanity. The conference was great. I hiked so much. The upgrade was fine...we're still adjusting. My big presentation went really well. Apparently, my director has been getting calls all week about how great it was. And it has been…
