iradi8 Tuesday PW: 199.7 CW: 196.6 LTD: 56.0 pounds (SW 252.6) Super happy about this weigh in!

You are very focused and determined. Love the food pictures. It all looks fantastic! Your hard work has paid off!

Woohoo Downsizers! We won Week 4 and the month of March!

@363days Well, that is quite a transformation:) You have been through so much, and you still keep on going on this journey. Your dedication and commitment is really an inspiration. You look so different but great in both pictures!

@Tazaria87 You continue to do so well and so consistent. I wonder if posting here every day helps. I like that you do that. Hope you have a good rest day!

@lelbarou Hugs, Laura. Maybe you just did not realize you were upset. It is good to be honest but oh so hard. I know how it feels. It does feel yucky. Today is a new day. The good thing is that this is not a regular occurrence. We can't expect perfection. We all "mess up" sometimes. I'm telling you. Give yourself grace.…

@cesse47 Yay! One whole year and you did not quit! That is the most important thing of all. As Dory says in the movie, Finding Nemo, "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming, swimming." It has been one heck of a difficult year. I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. Glad you are here.…

@lindamtuck2018 Thank you, Linda. I love when you remind us to be gentle with ourselves. That is really great advice, and it takes a lot of reminders:) Yes, I do need a knee replacement for my left knee. My right knee is not normal, but it does not need to be replaced. I am 54 y.o. now. The doctor told me that if I can…

@heatherbluebell I love that you do not give up. Your SMART goal is great, and it is something you can do. I can't wait to read your news that you achieved that goal! Looking forward to seeing a picture of your accountability jars. Visuals can be so helpful. This isolation is taking a toll on mental health for so many. If…

I know I've said it before, and I will say it again. I love the step challenge! Tonight I had a little over 8,000 steps, but my daily goal is 10,000 steps. So, while watching/listening to the TV, I walked around and around and around the house until I hit my goal:)

@Beautyofdreams I am so sorry for the tragic loss of your cousin. So awful. I am looking forward to seeing your before and after pictures. You have really done well. I completely get not realizing how you look now:) Welcome to the team @shawnamee1 and @rwood566 !

@missGYST Skiing does take some stamina. Now you have a goal for next year's ski season:) I can't ski any more because of my knees:( I need a knee replacement. Banff and Lake Louise are absolutely beautiful. Very nice loss! @Megan_smartiepants1970 That has got to feel good to have such great health benefits as a result of…

@Bluetail6 Wow, Lee! What a fantastic loss! @888Angie888 A loss is a loss! @Tazaria87 It can be a daunting task to declutter and/or get rid of old clothing. Lots of work, but it feels so good when you're done! @missysave0612 Welcome to the team! Self-care is so important. I'm sorry for your loss. I love that you have three…

iradi8 Tuesday PW: 199.1 CW: 199.7 LTD: 52.9 pounds (SW 252.6) As I suspected, a slight gain this week. Not worried about it. I have had a really tough time the last few weeks. When I am home and things are routine, it is not as hard to do well. Things have not been routine for the last few weeks or more. I wasn't as…

@rlaskey2 @lindamtuck2018 @lelbarou Thank you. Yes, it was such a good week with my son home:) @Beautyofdreams So nice to hear that the hospital had a celebration of life for those patients. Glad to hear you got your vaccine. Why wasn't the doctor happy to hear that you got it? Welcome to @roz0810and@shawnamee1!

@363days I am so very happy to hear that you found Jack! That must have been so harrowing. Good for you for not going after sugar in the end:)

I've had a heck of a week this week. I am thinking that I might even have a gain on Tuesday morning. That would make the first time I've gained on weigh-in day since I joined the team back in December. So, I guess that is a pretty good track record. I'll accept it if it is and move on. My son flew home from college last…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 Sorry. This has been one heck of a week:( 3/17 Steps 10,524 3/19 Steps 7,683

@lelbarou Glad your friend was understanding. I'm sorry that your short-term gig isn't working out. That is a lot of stress:( The FODMAPS diet seems like a great way of figuring out food issues for your body. @Beautyofdreams Glad you are getting all of that testing done. I hope the new medicine helps you. That is great…

@lelbarou I can always tell that you love teaching and that you care about your students:) My kids have had some really good teachers who really like what they do and who care about the kids, but you would probably be horrified at some of the bad ones:)
