@jugar I just realized I forgot my weigh in this week! PW 243.4 CW 244.0 I'm sure it was the cocktails and salty food from Saturday. This week should be better 😊

@micki48 my steps for the week (goal is 5,000): 9/20: 3,960 9/21: 13,273⭐ 9/22: 5,395⭐ 9/23: 5,273⭐ 9/24: 6,046⭐ 9/25: 6,978⭐ 9/26: 9,484⭐ Haven't had this many steps in 1 week since May, I definitely felt more inspired and motivated to move 😊 Yesterday I went with friends to the Great Lakes Crossing Outlets and managed to…

PW 244.5 lbs CW 243.4 lbs LTD 25.6 lbs Hoping to be below 242 lbs by the end of September 😁 took Lola for 2 walks today and logged all my calories which are under goal. Going to be a challenge to keep it up during the work week but certainly not impossible.

Way to go team on the weightloss! I anticipate being a much better contributor next week 😁

@micki48 here are my steps for last week. Much more on track than I have been lately! (Apparently I still can't upload photos SO I will type it out. I wish MFP would figure it out! I still have to use a workaround to get to the Community boards too 😣) 9/13: 5,202 ⭐ 9/14: 12,197 ⭐ 9/15: 3,008 9/16: 7,262 ⭐ 9/17: 2,556 9/18:…

@jugar I can relate to the food preservation fatigue 😂 it always feels good after it's done though! I've never thought of using the green tomatoes in a relish, I may have to look into that this year. My plan is to can stewed tomatoes over the weekend and then that almost finishes up the veggie garden. I have some herbs I…

@jugar PW 244.5 lbs CW 244.4 lbs LTD 24.6 lbs I feel pretty confident that next week will be better. We have lots of healthy groceries in the house and little Lola is getting much better on a leash so we have been walking more. I end up carrying her about half the time lol. I'm also feeling better since having the massage…

I've been having such a hard time logging into MFP and accessing the Community board... Uninstalled, reinstalled and still having trouble. I sent a note to the support team, hopefully that works. @Micki48 my steps last week are nothing to write home about. For whatever reason I'm not able to upload the screenshot of my…

@jugar PW 244.5 CW 244.5 @micki48

Hey team sorry I've been absent, my app hasn't let me access the community boards for several days 😞 fortunately @jugar gave me the link to get here directly, so here I am! Thanks Liselyn! @Gidgitgoescrazy happy belated birthday!! @Terytha congrats on paying off the debt! When I paid off my 50k student loans it was SUCH a…

@micki48 I would like to continue stepping with a daily goal of 5000. Here are my steps from last week

PW: 242.3 lbs CW: 244.5 lbs LTD: 24.5 lbs @jugar I forgot to weigh again yesterday. I think I should switch my weigh-in day to Monday, would that be okay? Although next week I will be out of town until Monday evening so I will either weigh-in early (Friday) or on Tuesday...Or maybe I will bring the scale with me to keep me…

Hi everyone I'm Jackie and I've been a member of this team for a few months now. I live with my husband of 8 years, our cat Fiona, and new puppy Lola in Michigan, USA. I work as a therapist for mental health and addictions which requires a lot of sitting, and lately a lot of stress that leads to me overeating or eating…

Welcome to the new members! You will certainly find lots of support and inspiration here. If not for this group I'm sure I would have given up months ago. I've not been logging my foods lately. I'm still cautious about portions and trying to make healthy choices, but for some reason the thought of logging things seems…

PW 242.2 lbs CW 242.3 lbs LTD 26.7 lbs

@micki48 below are my steps for the week; @jugar I also had a 25 minute bike ride on 8/17, 2.4 miles long, average speed 5.9mph. And 8/18 I did 40 minutes of gentle yoga and 20 minutes of moderate level yoga. I understand if it's too late to count these! Again I'm sorry I completely forgot yesterday. I will get on the…

I apologize I forgot to check in yesterday with my steps and weigh-in, I brought home a new puppy and was busy spending the day with her. Meet Lolabean (or just Lola)! She's a sweet little Pomerat (Pomeranian/rat terrier), 8.5 weeks old and weighs in at a whopping 2.7 lbs. She's already stolen our hearts.

TGIF! I really need the break from the office. Tomorrow I'm going to the local farmer's market with a couple of friends, and then going to the beach; Sunday I get to go meet some puppies to see if I'm ready to adopt a new family member. So excited to enjoy the weekend! And Monday I have another chiropractor and massage…

@ells_runs wow, I'm so sorry you and your family have been having such a hard time. Considering all the stressors it's amazing that you're making your health a priority. What a great example you are setting for your kids! I appreciate your openness and can say from experience (personally and as a therapist) that being…

Oh work is bombarding me right now. I knew it was coming, we have our annual state audit soon. I'm also training 2 new people and have an intern starting next week. On top of my caseload of 50+ and 8 other supervisees. I so badly wanted to stress-eat yesterday but all I had in the house that was close to what I wanted was…

So the massage and chiropractic adjustments have been great and helped a lot. I still have some pain and stiffness but nothing like it was so I'm happy with that. My friend and I took a nice long walk today after work and it felt great. Eating has been pretty good, I have been a little more snacky but not out of control.…

@jugar PW 242.5 lbs CW 242.2 lbs LTD 26.8 lbs I just keep inching down lol. I did notice I've been in the green for the past 4 weeks, even if by tiny bits. So I'm pretty happy about that! Currently not so sure I'll be to 239 lbs by the end of the month but I will at least be closer! @micki48 Steps for the week: I managed…

Pretty good day overall, met my step goal and calories within range. Enjoyed more fresh veggies from the garden. I woke up with some really bad neck and shoulder pain again, happened last week and again today. Makes it really difficult to be physically active. I have an appt next week with a chiropractor and massage…

PW 242.8 lbs CW 242.5 lbs LTD 26.5 lbs Slow and steady I suppose, better than a gain!

Today was a busy day, I made salsa with freshly picked veggies and herbs from the garden. Ended up with 14 pints! I didn't get around to the pickles yet but hope to have time Monday. Tomorrow a friend and I have a day at the beach planned. Rainbow for the day: R - cherry tomatoes, red pepper O - orange juice Y - corn on…

@micki48 8/1 - 8/8

I haven't checked in the last few days as I wasn't feeling well, headachey and my stomach has been bothering me off and on. Started feeling better last night so I went to a friend's house and we had hotdogs and marshmallows over the fire. Not healthy physically, but mentally we both needed it. Today seems to be better so…

My rainbow today: R watermelon, red bell pepper O carrots, cantaloupe Y pineapple G green bell pepper B blueberries P purple onion, grape juice B/W black beans, potatoes, vidalia onions I only slept about 3.5 hours last night (yay insomnia 😒) so I had a cup of coffee this morning and ever since my stomach has been really…

@ells_runs I didn't see your original post but I hope everything is working out okay. Sending virtual hugs your way 💞 I love the idea of a rainbow food challenge. My rainbow for today: R watermelon, strawberries O Cantaloupe Y garlic? It's kinda yellow lol G green pepper, scallions, mint leaves B blueberries P grape…

@jugar thank you, to be honest the weight loss this week was a bit of a surprise, a good one of course! I just realized I didn't formally welcome all our new/returning teammates - so WELCOME!! 🎆👋😁👍🎉 You will find so much support and encouragement here! A friend inspired me to go to the gym with her and I feel so much…
