Good morning and happy Friday everyone. We’re going camping this weekend so I won’t be online. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and I’ll check in with everyone on Monday.

Good morning friends! Welcome Packersfan. Life does get in the way at times it’s true. I was thinking about growing up and how my mom basically taught us to comfort ourselves with food. What’s interesting is that my sister and I were raised the same way, right? She never really used food for comfort the way my mom and I…

Hello friends! Hi Lana! Hi Sara!! I know I disappeared for about 6 weeks but I had a lot going on and needed a break from a lot of things snd tracking weight loss was 1 of those things. I decided last week that was going to be the last week of my negligence and today is my restart. I did put about 5 pounds back on which…

Hello friends! It’s been a busy few weeks and I feel so bad for not being here as much as I wanted to be but I have been thinking about you all! Hit a major milestone today… down 40 pounds!! 🎊🎊. 30 more to go! Son and I are headed to Disneyland with my friend and her son for his birthday. That should be fun- hot but fun.…

Hi all. Got on the elliptical again this morning. Ran 16 min. Had cottage cheese and veggies for lunch. Will probably have a protein bar or shake too. I bought the sugar free fudge cicles for dessert as I crave sweets after dinner. Hope everyone has a great evening Lisa 🌵

Hello snd happy Tuesday! This morning I got up and did 15 min on the elliptical and then hopped in the shower before starting my work day. I need to do 30min but I’m working up to it. Tomorrow I will shoot for 20 min. I don’t have much to update today other than my weight has unchanged for the last couple of days and it’s…

Hi all! I was camping over the weekend so I didn’t have reception. We went up north where it was a good 30° cooler and it was wonderful. Drove our camper up with some friends was really nice to escape the heat. Definitely not ready for Monday or the rest of this week lol. I’m sticking to my plan, but I have zero motivation…

Good morning all happy Thursday! Going camping, I mean glamping 🤣 this weekend with friends to escape the heat a bit! Looking forward to that! I got up this morning and hopped on the elliptical first thing and ran about 15 minutes. Worked up a good sweat. I’m gonna try to work hard today lol but I have a lot to do to get…

Happy hump day!! So I found out why I was struggling with eating the past few days and for the lack of weight loss…. My aunt flow showed up unannounced. I hadn’t had that in months bc I have an IUD. Guess it’s time for the 1-2 times a year I get it. Hopefully she packs up and leaves by Friday bc we are going camping. Hi…

Hi ladies, and anyone who stops by! So last night I did not cave, and I did not eat garbage late at night. I managed to just have some blueberries, and sugar-free Jell-O. I was very proud of myself as hard as it was. I resisted the garbage. This morning I got up, dragged myself out of bed and got on the elliptical and ran…

Separately posting…. I love how active this group is!! I read the posts since yesterday and send everyone well wishes for everything upcoming! I forgot to mention in my last post that I am doing semaglutide injections to assist in my weight loss. Back in January I got to my highest weight of 237 and was feeling hopeless…

Thanks Michelle! I went on a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise and it was amazing! I did manage to get my head back in the game. Last night for my late night snack, I resisted the junk calling my name and had some blueberries and sugar free jello instead. This morning I got on my elliptical and ran for 17 minutes first thing.…

Hello all I know I’m late to the party but I just found this group. My name is Lisa and I restarted my weight loss journey this year back in mid January. I turned 50 last November and I really want to lose 70-75 pounds. I’m about halfway there so far I’ve lost 36. I just got back from a weeklong cruise and it was nice to…

Hello everyone happy Monday. I was so busy over the weekend. I didn’t even log my food or stop by to say hi to everyone. So sorry about that! Sara that’s a good outlook to have that it’s not your problem! Let her have all the meetings she wants lol. Lana, you can keep that asparagus! Not a fan lol. So I’m struggling with…

Hi all. Lana, that’s a horrible situation. Unfortunately here in Arizona that happens. Or people have to be airvac’d out due to heat exhaustion. Today’s high is 113, typical July afternoon in AZ. So I made sure to get all my errands done this morning. Went to the weight loss doctor today I only gained like half a pound…

Hi all happy Tuesday. Still unhappy with the scale not much came off yesterday to today. I know I have to be patient and work at it but it happens and normally I am not a “serial weigher” like this, but I can’t help but obsess. Been super busy since I’ve been back. Monday and today have been slammed back to back meetings…

Hello friends!! Back from our amazing cruise! Day 1 was at sea, day 2 was Cozumel. We did a tour of the ruins, and had lunch by the beach. Day 3 - Roatan Honduras. Clear bottom kayaking, snorkeling, lunch on the beach, and the 4th of July celebration 🎉 on board. Day 4 - Belize. Airboat ride and Rum tasting. Day 5 - Costa…

Hello, and happy Monday everyone! My cold is a little bit better today. I feel slightly normal. Yesterday I relaxed a lot just to make sure I wasn’t overdoing it or anything like that because I definitely don’t wanna be sick for my cruise. I think I’ll be over it by Friday so I think I’ll be good. Yesterday we went to go…

Hi all. Cold it is, not just allergies. But that’s ok, I am not very worse just can tell how I feel that it is a cold. Better now than Friday when we leave for vaca. I still kept my hair appointment and am wearing a mask to keep my germs to myself Lana, no worries! 😘 So I made avacado this morning… I should say guacamole…

Evening all. Yea Friday! But I will admit that we had pizza for dinner tonight. I didn’t eat much before dinner and I feel like I’m getting a cold. Super not happy. I’ve been taking Zicam all day hoping it’s gonna keep it at bay. But I guess if I’m gonna get sick this is the week to do it so I’m not sick on my cruise lol.…

Hi all! Hi all! Plenty of sunshine here in AZ! Lana - I had lens replacement surgery it’s basically the same as cataracts but for me it was not necessary because I didn’t have cataracts and I was not a candidate for Lasik. I was tired of paying $600 for a new pair of glasses and plus contacts and everything else that comes…

Hi all 👋 Lana - glad you had a good trip to Norfolk! Jealous of the goofing off. Hubby worked from home today and I was slammed with meetings. When he WFH he is just on call in case a tool goes down. Otherwise he gets to hang out. Sara - new glasses are nice! I wore glasses for over 40 years and last year I had eye surgery…

Hi all. I was out of town all weekend. Super busy crazy. Our two kids are in San Diego and they got an apartment together so we took them furniture shopping at IKEA and of course had to buy stuff that needed to be put together so we spent a lot of time doing that. I ate pretty good while being out of town. I didn’t overdo…

Hi everyone, it’s been a crazy busy week. I had to go up north for work so I was out of touch a bit. Lana, I think I mentioned before we’re taking the western Caribbean cruise at the end of June. We are on the Grandeur of the Seas. And don’t feel bad, I am 50 so my memory doesn’t serve me that well all the time either lol.…

Hello and good morning all. Today is hubby’s birthday and we are going out to dinner. Wish me luck with eating lol Amber I totally understand about the coffee and support that 100% 😂. I also need to get better about using weights, but dang they are just so heavy 😁 Lemur, so sorry to hear about the total gain of what you…

Hi all. It’s been a very busy week and I’m sorry for not stopping by. Hi to those who are starting up again! Support is key in any weight loss journey. This week at the doc’s my weigh in was up half a pound. I didn’t care tho bc like I said, it’s been a busy week. We went out a lot and had the party. I didn’t go overboard…

Hi all. Sorry for skipping a few days. Been super busy. Still hovering at 200.4 but I haven’t been trying over the weekend either. I hope that by Friday I’ll see 199. The downside is that we have a party we are hosting for our exchange student. This Friday is her going away party and we are having Olive Garden catered. I…

Hello and good morning! I had a touch of the stomach flu so, had been down for the count. All I could eat were crackers n toast. Yesterday was back to normal and hubby took me out for date night. I did really well eating out and was proud of myself. I ordered steak n lobster and as badly as I wanted a loaded baked potato…

How is your journey so far? I have been on it since Jan.

Happy Wednesday. Sara, hope you got some good sleep last night and that today is good day for you! I got back on the wagon yesterday and more so today. I did my in home cavitation and got on the elliptical for 17 min. My goal is 15 and I did an extra 2 just to push myself a little. I sweat like crazy which felt pretty good…
