Too funny, @Terytha but enjoy your tasty prize! I would recommend cooking the kabob on a grill, if you have one. If not, in the oven. Either way, cook it slowly. Enjoy:)

@evangsimmons170 PW 344.6 CW 342.4 :smiley: LTD 32.4 @happimess01 I'm determined to be where you are weight-wise before year's end. We got this! @KellyBgetsfit This school year is no joke, eh? I usually don't start out the year this exhausted, but woo hoo! :neutral: Here's a short video I made for my staff today. I hope it…

Perhaps I'm extremely late figuring this out, but has anyone every looked at your MFP stats in weekly view rather than just daily? I just noticed this tonight, although I've been on MFP for 2 years. This is such a DUH!!!! LOL I think I like this view even better; I don't have to do math! LOL

I don't, but I remember watching my uncle do that as I was growing up. He would be salt and pepper, especially pepper, on his watermelon.

Hi Team! All these food pics are making me hungry! Everything looks so yummy! Just wanted to send an update on my 30-day calorie deficit challenge. As you can see, there have been several glitches on the journey. I can easily point out 1 positive and 1 negative so far during this challenge. The negative is that my job as a…

So sorry this is late! Between work and homework, last week was insane. Today is the first day school, although virtual. So here we go!

@evangsimmons170 PW 345.6 CW 344.6 LTD 29.2 Super insane week. I'll fill y'all in later. Stay safe and healthy. I'm going to bed.

@micki48 Here are my steps for August 2-8. I'm sorry it's late.

Picture it. There I was driving along minding my own business when a lovely, lemony aroma started wafting through my car. It made me smile. But the smell kept getting stronger. I had just passed a laundromat, so I thought maybe they were having some mechanical malfunctions of some sort that was making the air smell so…

Hi team! I pray everyone is safe and healthy. Crazy busy week here now that teachers are back on contract. I've worked 14 hour days the last 2 days. It ain't happening today, so help me God! Anyway, here are my stats: @evangsimmons170 PW 347.8 CW 345.6 :smiley: LTD 29.2 So I guess my calorie deficit plan is working, even…

@micki48 Here are my steps for July 26 - August 1. I didn't know if you were still checking the July thread, so that's why I posted them here to close out the July step challenge. Thanks for all you do.

Hi everyone and welcome to our new members. I'm Rhonda from Texas. I'm 51, divorced, no kids, an elementary assistant principal and working on my doctorate in educational leadership. I'm also an associate pastor and singer/musician in my church. As you can imagine, I stay extremely busy all the time. So I'll apologize in…

Thanks for the encouragement, @conleywoods. I haven't been feeling too inspirational lately, but I'm glad I was able to provide a spark. :smiley: I know I ultimately should aim for a 500 calorie deficit each day in order to lose a pound a week, but I've gotta start somewhere, right? It's the whole 'journey of a thousand…

@eggfreak I totally agree with you about putting July behind us! I downloaded one of my 30-day challenge charts from chartyourgoals.com and decided that August 1-30 would be my 30-day Calorie Deficit Challenge. I'm committing (again) to having a calorie deficit greater than 100 each day this month. I realize that having a…

So I am 50 posts behind in my reading on this thread! It's been a hectic week with 10-hour workdays, tons of homework to do, and eating too much...probably from stress, but that excuse is getting old! @evangsimmons170 PW: 344.8 CW: 347.8 LTD: 27 I'm so sick and tired of circling this same drain! My knee is finally back to…

@evangsimmons170 PW: 344.6 CW: 344.8 (considering I've only been able to exercise once this week due to my bum knee, I'm good with that.) LTD: 30 lbs I ordered a knee brace online today mainly so that I can get back to walking. I really miss it! It's like therapy for me! I had to find one that fits 'thick' thighs; I had to…

@SMcFall0215 Yes, I live in Texas and we're a 'mask everywhere' mandated state. I'll take inconvenient over dead any day. Just sayin'.

Thanks! I made it through a 30 minute walk at home video. I'll keep doing those until my knee is ready to handle traditional walking outside. That seems to be way more rigorous than the videos. But it all counts right?

Happy belated birthday, @conleywoods . I hope you enjoyed your day!

Hi team! I hope everyone is safe and healthy. I think my knee us strong enough to exercise today. I hurt/twisted really bad on Friday while exercising and I haven't been able to work out since. I've been staying off of it as much as possible and taking lots of glucosamine chondroitin supplements. That's made a world of…

Sorry for the delay.

Congrats @Terytha on your smaller Jean's. I bet that made your week! @micki48 I thought I commented on the pics of you and your hubby, but maybe that was just in my head. You 2 look so adorable! I love the matching masks! Congrats on your recent anniversary. So I just finished reading/scanning this article on the many…

@evangsimmons170 PW 345.2 CW 344.6 LTD 30.2 @matthewsfive I'm so glad your test results came back negative! I know you and your family are relieved! @eggfreak Super congrats on that huge loss this week! Great work! So this is the week where the rubber meets the proverbial road. I'm back on contract now at work and sat in…

You look amazing, @conleywoods! Congrats on losing the 40 pounds. This is the one scenario in life where being a "loser" is a great thing! Hats off to ya!

@conleywoods What a beautiful pic of you and your hubby! You both look so happy! I'm glad you had a wonderful anniversary on Tuesday! @micki48 Congrats on your 37th anniversary today! That's fantastic! I hope you and your hubby had a wonderful day! Happy birthday to all those who had birthdays this week! :smiley:

My word is empowerment!

@ells_runs You high stepping inspires me! Running isn't an option for me, but I'm determined to keep walking! I love how I feel! I bet you do too.

@Cerizez What time zone are you in? Your post is time stamped at 4 something in the morning. Were you up all night? Regardless, the food sounds amazing!
