@trooworld I think if the only stress relief you did was having a small piece of famous blueberry pie you should be congratulated. :) What are you doing with your food until your fridge arrives? @RetiredAndLovingIt That is good that all went well with your check-up. What kind of Easter plans do you have? :)…

@FushiaKat I like giving yourself a weight range for maintenance. Having a lot of foods that you can go to without worry is a great idea too. And no one EVER became overweight by eating strawberries. :grin: @Katmary71 I was a smoker for 23 years so congrats on your 14-year mark of quitting! I can only imagine how awful…

@trooworld I’m so sorry that your finances are taking such a hit. Please try to not cave into the stress by eating. It won’t make you feel better. At least that is what I keep telling myself. :/ @theslightedgeforever that is good never to not go to bed before pre-planning. I think turning some of our nevers into positive…

@Cornanda I’m getting close to finishing the NBA book too. I’m sure I will have to go through it more than once to make things stick. The pig in this one is strong. ;) I’m really liking the FB group. There is some real honesty there that makes me comfortable sharing my struggles. What do you think? It’s nice to spruce up…

@trooworld Yes, just keep up the hiking and you will soon be in great shape! B) I love that skillet cheesy green chili chicken recipe and I just put it on my Pinterest chicken board. I will serve it over cauli rice! Hey, have you ever tried those single-served brown rice that you cook in the microwave? Joe is wanting rice…

@laurelfit57 Congrats on your loss this week! I was hoping mine would be more too, but the scale will do what it wants even with our good effort. So, just celebrate and move on to this week. Wow, you are having some crazy weather. Ours has been a little like that too. :) @fatfifties I’m so happy you liked the book and yes…

@trooworld Love the pics from the zoo! :) Don’t refer to breaking your fast as giving in. You decide each day what works best for you! I do think you are right that it is harder to fast longer if you’ve eaten late. You go to bed with a lot of glucose and your body will scream for some more the next day making it harder to…

@trooworld What a great day it sounds like you had yesterday. I hope it was fun. What did you eat at the French restaurant? @amioc I know it can be hard to keep your head in the game. Most experts would tell you to reexamine you “why” and see if you need to adjust your plan or goals. I think those are good places to start.…

@laurelfit57 HaHa unfortunately I agree with you that we need to do more lunges. I watch those young fit people on my Beachbody programs hit a 90-90 with their knees and I seriously doubt I will ever be able to hover an inch or so above the ground. :grin: It’s nice that Vannie likes to walk. My Maggie will walk to the…

@trooworld I’m allergic to shorts too! So what animals do you like most at the zoo? I love all the apes and monkeys. Ohh and the sloths! They are my spirit animal, ya know? :D I’m glad you liked the YouTube video! I just started reading her new book on fasting. I don’t have much yet on her fasting plan, but she sure knows…

@laurelfit57 Your Easter dinner sounds wonderful! I haven’t had pierogies in years, but I love them! Switching things up is a great idea. Your body will get used to what you’re doing so shaking things up with your diet and exercise is a great idea. Vannie is so stinking cute!! <3 @Katmary71 Wahhooo on your weight is down!…

@laurelfit57 Most people run on glucose because they eat so often that their bodies don’t go into their fat stores for energy. Your body will make its own glucose if you let it. Also, during the fasted state the ketones start firing up the brain and that is why so many IFers claim to have awesome mental clarity while…

@trooworld If you read Gin’s first book, “Delay, Don’t Deny,” then I really recommend you read “Fast Feast Repeat.” It’s much more comprehensive than her first book. I just bought “Intermittent Fasting Transformation” by Cynthia Thurlow. It's written for women and she has a medical background and is very smart. She has a…

@trooworld Then by all means put that lemon in your water. I actually would too. :grin: Good, I hope you do read the book and then we can discuss it! ;) Hello! Not much going on except me with a ton of energy from fasting so I’m taking advantage of it and deep cleaning the whole house. The final number for weight loss this…

@laurelfit57 I love my BOD workouts. I’ve been doing one, but it’s been sporadic lately with everything going on. I’m really hoping to make it a priority again. And don’t worry about that gain of yours. You have assessed why you gained and now you will take the needed steps to get it off. :) @FushiaKat I’m sorry that your…

@trooworld Some would say that putting lemon in water isn’t clean fasting but I’m on the fence about it. The only reason to not do it is if you feel that it’s keeping you from fasting longer than you want to. And if it is then try cutting it out for a few days. I really do recommend Gin Stephens's book Fast, Feast, Repeat.…

Wahhoooo on the Slimpossibles coming in 3rd place this week! Let’s see if we can do even better for April! :grin: @laurelfit57 Glad you had fun trampolining and I’m sure it was all worth it. :grin: I once made quinoa for us and hubby told me not to do that again. I need to try it out somewhere so I can taste what it’s…

@Cornanda Ohhh my sweet friend! I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious pup. We all knew it was coming and I can only imagine the hurt your poor heart is suffering right now. Please be very gentle with yourself and know we are all here for you. I am praying for peace for you and for your family. <3 <3 <3

I am so glad you are all here! :) I am Teresa one of your Mission Slimpossibles captains along with Mark (@broncobuddee) The Mission Slimpossibles also have two wonderful motivators, @trooworld and @Katmary71, who help…

@theslightedgeforever Haha I often say if I lived by myself eating would be sooo much easier! I love my people and don’t want to lose them but I’m telling you that I will NEVER be the boss of another person’s menu again. :grin: @gemwolf110 sounds like all is well with you! I’m sure your furkids love going for walks on a…

@FushiaKat, I see that Jessica replied to you and that it was just an honest mistake. Good for you for reaching out to make sure that you were recognized, and I hope that you will continue to do the F2F challenges. The moderators of F2F work very hard to make this a great challenge group so I’m happy to see that all has…

@theslightedgeforever I love that you are working on the steps of project management in your health journey! Yesterday, I told a woman new to IF and wanting to know how to get started that she had to work it like it’s a job and not a hobby. Ohh that Bento box idea is great! Do you plan to meal prep them or just make one…

@askewcr How awesome that you and your hubby were out riding your bikes. Great time to enjoy the spring weather. I assume you don’t suffer too badly from allergies. Gotta hate the yellow clouds of pollen! :D @Katmary71 Glad you were able to get a patient advocate and yayyy for him recognizing your weight loss. I’m sure…

@cbabie Yeah, I’ve seen that clear puzzle. NO thank you!! :grin: How nice that you are going to reconnect with an old friend. :) @theslightedgeforever Welcome back! So glad you and your daughter had a good time in London. I’ve always wanted to go there. Maybe someday I will. :grin: Yeah, my first quarter has been a huge…

@laurelfit57 Yayy on your loss this week. Glad your son had a great birthday party. My family is extra-loud all the time. :D And ohhh if only we could sustain a diet on popcorn and ice cream cake! :grin: @Katmary71 I love BBQ! Ugghhh to the allergies. My eyes have been burning. :s @Cornanda, Girl we have the same weak…

Username:TeresaW1020 Weigh in week: Week 5 Weigh in day: Monday PW: 191.2 CW: 193.4 Month +/-: +5.0 Total Loss: 71 Well, it's not pretty! But I'm owning the 5 lb gain for the month and determined to turn it around and get going in the right direction. :/

Wahooo to our top three!!! B) @laurelfit57 Yes, to us all learning to better hone our self-awareness skills. Not always easy but definitely important. How nice that you got to get out with your mom and see a movie. A popcorn lunch sounds awesome! Happy birthday to your son and yum to Dairy Queen ice cream cakes! :)…

@micaroo4 Yikes your poor dad! Yeah, I’m glad Joe stopped the monitor. I could see that happening to his poor skin too and he doesn’t need that right now. :/ @trooworld How was the art show? Did you stay awake? :grin: We have to train our fasting muscle to go longer and we also have to listen to our bodies and know that…
