@evangsimmons170 Weigh-in Day: Friday PW 347.6 CW 345.2...all this walking is starting to pay off thank God! LTD 29.6 lbs (from my highest weight ever)

Has anyone read this article? https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/under-armour-myfitnesspal-app-for-sale

@micki48 my step goal is 20,000 steps. Go big or go home right? I know what I'm capable of. I can do this!

@YinxFed I can SO relate to your frustration. I also experience the weight gain during the first 3 weeks of a weight loss regimen. And I usually quit during week 3. But I am desperately trying to break that cycle this time. I'm starting my 3rd week of walking and I'm determined to win. We got this!

@Terytha I'm so sorry you hurt your neck. I pray you feel better soon. I totally understand your need to get away next weekend. That's what I wanted to do this week but didn't. Sometimes a good reset helps us put things in proper perspective. Wishing you peace. @micki48 my steps for Saturday were 8317.

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry to be MIA yet again. I hope everyone is safe and healthy during these crazy times. Welcome to any and all newcomers we have to the group. I'm Rhonda (@evangsimmons170) and I live in Texas. I'm 51, divorced and no kids, other than the 700+ students in the elementary school where I am an assistant…

Hi team! I haven't been able to get into the community portion of the MFP app all week via my phone. I'm posting this now on the website from my laptop. I don't know what's up with MFP lately! Anyway, I'm going to skip my weigh-in tomorrow. The fluid retention has been bad this week. I've been drinking lots of water (64 oz…

@Terytha that cake looks so good! I think if I stare at those pics too long I'll gain a pound. Lol. You did a great job!!!!

Well if the buttercream icing is that great, it will only compliment the cake even more. You got this!!!

@ells_runs Very impressive stepping. What did you do differently on Monday that got that really high step count? I need all the suggestions I can get.

How does it taste? We're living vicariously through you! 😃

@conleywoods To answer your question about how I stay motivated, I've found Mel Robbins' 5 second rule to be quite helpful. https://youtu.be/nI2VQ-ZsNr0

@jugar I'm sure you've already explained, but I'm about 50 posts behind. What project did you write a grant for? Sounds interesting.

@matthewsfive I can so relate! I find it all incredibly overwhelming. I don't have time like that to hang out on social media. Sometimes it's great to have a digital free day....or month. Lol

PW 349.6 CW 347.4 😃 @jugar I'm sorry you're still dealing with that hematoma. I hope you get better soon. @conleywoods I hope whatever stressed your husband out at work has passed now.

@matthewsfive you look absolutely amazing! I bet you feel that way too! So encouraging! Thanks for sharing.

@Steph1498 Congrats on running a half marathon! That's amazing! Was that your first? Is that what you did on 5/20 for nearly 30,000 steps in one day? You're doing phenomenal work!😄😄

@evangsimmons170

Hi gang, I'm real behind in reading everyone's posts. I've been back to work for the past 3 weeks now at least 4 days a week. Life is extremely busy closing out the school year. I'm going to skip weighing in tomorrow due to excessive fluid retention. I've been drinking lots of water and taking my BP meds and diuretic, but…

@evangsimmons170

Fabulous loss!

@evangsimmons170 Here are my steps for this week:

@evangsimmons170 I'm sorry I didn't post my weigh-in yesterday (Friday). I have also fallen WAY behind in reading posts this week. Last Thursday, assistant principals were told that we had to return to work, full-time for the most part, starting this past Monday, May 4, even though schools are closed to the end of the…

I actually understand what you're saying, @jugar. It's good exercise, but the outdoor walking seems much more intensive to me. The only way I feel a comparable burn is if I do a 5-mile Leslie Sansone Walk or longer.

Ok so we're logging our own steps now? I'm ok with that. Just wanted to be sure.
