JessicaKrall8 Monday Weigh-in PW: 317.2 CW: 312.4 Please move my weigh days from Monday to Sundays...in the rush to get to work Mondays, I nearly forget. Thanks!

Hi All: @pupowl @Katmary71 @lauren_989 On Friday, I had a really rough day with my left leg at work...lots of pain...whole dept left early (3pm) to go our Holiday IT Christmas dinner...I stayed and worked until 5 since I wasn't attending...was nice and quiet and got a lot done. Made it home and went straight to lie down…

Apologies MODS but I am just getting home from the hospital having tests run to figure out this swelling issue in my left leg…the good news…no blood clots…the bad news I was unable to find/post a group challenge for the coming week. Would be grateful if someone could do one. I didn’t know in advance that I would be…

Holiday Songs...I adore sitting down at the piano and playing for hours out of my favorite Christmas song book...my favorite is The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire...) and I can easily lose track of time while doing so...my Father always loved Silent Night, so love that one as well. Looking forward to…

Family Traditions...my Mother was the Queen of Christmas...she just loved it...couldn't wait to decorate, start baking, cooking the feast, planning our "cold supper" Christmas Eve gathering, wrapping presents, planning the Ladies Church Bazaar, making doll clothes for presents, crocheting towels and homemade gifts, singing…

These are from 2022. We don't get snow every year, but that year we had a few larger events. I love to look at it, as long as I don't have to get out in it. It is very peaceful isn't it?! Jessica

@CasandraW I will be praying for you and your family as you start to grieve. Take care of yourself...and remember to lean on the rest of your friends and family and just concentrate on breathing...I am so very sorry for your loss. May her memory always be a blessing... Jessica

JessicaKrall8 Monday weigh-in PW: 319.6 (I think) CW: 317.2

@p8m6bwghh9 I can SO see my Betty trying that...this morning, after my shower, I came into the bedroom and put a small towel down over my pillows so I could lie down without getting them wet...went to get a drink from the kitchen...she way laying right on top of it when I came back...I'll have to log in with my phone and…

I have one friend who is Pilipino and she starts decorating in September!! I have another who keeps her tree up all year and just switches it for each holiday... I like things on the minimal side and some years, don't even put up a tree, but love to drive around and look at others' creativity...I'm not a complete…

@Alatariel75 Now THAT is a first...I have never seen a dinosaur tree-topper...wow! Festive!! @Curvestina You get the award for the largest bow!! Love it!! @micaroo4 Please don't show that to my cousin...somewhere in a conversation many years ago, I mentioned to her that I thought those little miniature pigs were adorable,…

Missing two weigh-ins for the week: @Cyncia85 @LenGray Please report in before stats begin tomorrow morning...thanks! Jessica

I'm trying to get away from using food as a REWARD, so instead, I try to do something else nice for myself...giving myself free time to do things I enjoy or pampering myself in some way. For the past two months, I've been working very hard to stay on track, work diligently on my nutrition because I know that every pound…

@globalhiker I've asked the MODS to move you to the Support team for the rest of December. Please let me know when you'd like to return and when you do so, please send a new starting weight and I'll get you moved back to active. Enjoy the upcoming holiday season with your family. Take care! Jessica

@lauren_989 Please move globalhiker/SS to the support team for the rest of December per her request. She hopes to return in January. Will let you know once I hear more from her. Jessica

By our interactions in these group challenges and sharing with our teams, we EDIFY our own journey, from what we glean from each other. I'm really soaking up all the comments this week and hope to hold on to that hope and encouragement on tough days. This week was a mixed bag for me...two days were really difficult to get…
