@Shexio So sorry you're going to miss your family for Easter. I hope you can plan a wonderful summer event to see them when this is over. Or maybe a Skype Easter dinner in the meantime? @theslightedgeforever I find that I have a finite amount of decisions and willpower in a day. So I have to decide at the beginning of the…

@trooworld Great job maintaining with all this craziness! @RetiredandLovingIt I hope you enjoy your walk outside, its beautiful! @TeresaW1020 I'm so glad everything is going well with moving your job online! @Shexio Same here with the nutrition, it's hard being near the fridge all day! @renaegry Definitely keep your eye…

@renaegry I love whiteclaw too, raspberry is my favorite! @TeresaW1020 How does fat2fit work? Do you just record your weight weekly? Are there check ins? @its_cleo exercise on the balcony sounds like fun! It's hard to stay motivated for weight loss being trapped inside all day @shexio I love Tony Horton. He reminds me of…

@cbabie Weight loss has got to be tough with sleep deprivation, great job getting that walk in! @its_cleo It's hard not to feel depressed with all that's going on. I'm glad you were able to get moving and break out of it. Welcome @Shexio , glad to have you in the group! @theslightedgeforever I had the same thought when I…

@cbabie Great job on the morning workout! Did you get your nap in? @trooworld That sounds like a fabulous day with your spouse. I'm so glad you were able to enjoy the outdoors, although I'm sorry that your steps didn't get tracked! I hope you have a fabulous time on your crafting happy hour! I found that they start a…

@cbabie I hope you got more rest last night, not sleeping is ROUGH! @trooworld Wow that sounds intense! I did end up going to virtual happy hour and I'm glad I went. I need to keep connecting with people face to face even when I don't feel like it. I'm glad you enjoyed the Greek food, we've got a takeout date set for…

@TeresaW1020 Binge-watching the news?! That sounds stressful! I hope you focus on self care too! @renaegry I hope you're able to adjust to this change and get your steps in! @trooworld Sharing the computer sounds stressful! I hope you're able to find a schedule that works well for both of you. And that's crazy that your…

@trooworld I'm similarly worried once my partner has to start working from home. I think we're going to drive each other crazy!!! I'm jealous of your takeout Thai. Our nearest Thai restaurant is 45 minutes away so I almost never get to eat it. Pad See Ewe with tofu is my favorite! @its_cleo My IT department has been…

@its_cleo I hope you give yourself some grace during this transition period, we'll all settle into our new routines soon. I will definitely check out that mindspace app, what a good idea! @trooworld If you want a work from home buddy, just shoot me a message/let me know. We've all got to keep each other centered during…

@nighthazel01 I love that your family has spread out over the house too. My partner and I are joking that the upstairs is my office and the downstairs is his. We've got to have some separation in all this! @RetiredAndLovingIt I'm definitely going to check out those memes, thanks! And I'm sure your fine if they were just…

Morning all! I'm officially starting my first day working remote and it already feels weird. I had extra time this morning since I didn't have to get ready for work so I was able to take the dogs for an extra long walk and cook breakfast. I'm going to set up a daily schedule for myself to keep the hours from dragging and…

@gemwolf110 Now is definitely a good time to refinance, I hope it goes well! @RetiredandLovingit Don't feel bad, we didn't realize the severity. @renaegry Congrats on the loss. You've got this! @trooworld I love your lemonade out of lemons mindset, I need to do the same! @TeresaW1020 I hope Medicaid can help you virtually,…

@RetiredAndLovingIt I'm glad you're feeling less stressed about the COVID-19 situation. I don't think it's anything that we should stress about, but it's a good idea to take precautions just to make sure we keep as many people healthy as possible and don't overload the healthcare system. And I think your idea of social…

@trooworld I totally understand the panic about COVID-19. I'm less concerned about the virus itself and more panicked about everything shutting down because of it. I did have my partner grab some dried beans/lentils/etc over lunch the other day for emergency back up food just in case. And thank you for your kind words…

@TeresaW1020 I hope your Easter planning goes well! Sorry to hear you're in the stall, but you're probably right on the points. I had a heck of a time fitting my food into those. The low-carb is going okay. My body and brain still feel off so I don't think this is sustainable, but it's a nice jumpstart.…

@trooworld I'm getting around 150 grams a day so I don't think it's protein. Today I feel better, so maybe yesterday was a fluke? I hope it was! @theslightedgeforever I'm sorry to hear about yesterday. Sometimes willpower just isn't enough. Good for you for tracking, that's a big win! As far as hunger, since I'm feeling…

@huskymarie I'm with you, daylight savings time is the worst. I hope our state gets rid of it soon. And I'm hopeful that you get to pick up Mishka on Wednesday! @theslightedgeforever I always hate it when I forget to track something. At least it was only by one point. @trooworld I'm glad you're starting to feel like your…

Morning Ladies! I'm officially on day 2 of low carb, and I feel much better today than I did yesterday so I'm hopeful my "keto flu" feelings will be minimal. So far my hunger is also much lower than it has been, so I'm thinking this change might be a positive one! My friend also gifted me with all of her low carb baking…

@theslightedgeforever Way to go on the loss, you've got this!!! @trooworld Keep us posted on how the 5K goes! And I hope your favorite WW leader is there! @joannadavison Good to hear from you! I hope life calms down for you a bit! Happy Saturday! We had a bunch of friends over last night for drinks and it was a blast. I…

@trooworld Congrats on the loss, that's fantastic! We have no idea what movies we're watching yet, I'm just excited to get together with everyone. And I think your idea of a weight reset is fantastic. It's a fresh start! @cbabie Even 10 minutes is a great way to start the day, way to go! And I'm sorry about your DH. I had…

@gemwolf110 I like your goals for the week! They seem very actionable and doable without being too restrictive @cbabie I'm sure the sodium will cycle out soon, I hate feeling bloated too. And I agree with your points on fear and the virus, a lot of it has been blown out of proportion and we need to look at what we can…

@mariechinander Thank you for sharing your experience with Atkins. I'm also not a big meat eater and I don't like a lot of fatty meats so I'm thinking it's a no go for me. Plus, if something makes you feel that foggy can it really be good for you? I'm glad you were able to switch and join us here! @renaegry Driving a truck…

@gemwolf110 Finding off the rack is the best! I'm hoping to find something similar. I'm fortunate that I'm shaped somewhat sample size so i'm hoping I can easily find the one. I hope your busy week goes smoothly! @trooworld I'm getting married August 15th and we're doing the second party labor day weekend :) I hope you…

Morning all! I'm doing a quick check in (sorry I don't have time to reply individually, but know I read all of them and support you all!). We had a very busy weekend filled with lots of wedding planning. We settled on a wedding date (well two dates since we have family in two states so we're just doing two small family…

@gemwolf110 I hope the next salon has more options. I hate it when places aren't size inclusive! I'm going for my doctorate in higher education administration, and being a returning adult student is ROUGH! I'm just finishing up my current classes in organizational theory and qualitative analysis (which are just as exciting…

@theslightedgeforever I loved Lizzy Maguire growing up too. I pulled it up on Disney+ and was shocked there were only two seasons! I feel like that show was on all the time @trooworld it sounds like you ended up being very active yesterday! Luckily the filling was just re-filling one that fell out so I didn't even have to…

@TeresaW1020 Congrats! I hope WW works well for you! I tried out their newest program awhile ago, but it triggered my binging so I sadly had to step away. I really like their social media tools and interface though and I think they've changed the program since then? And not to sway you on Disney+, but they've got A TON of…

@theslightedgeforever Great advice! I definitely need to carve out some major self care time! @trooworld Thank you for the kind words, I hope you continue to feel better! @TeresaW1020 He is pretty great :) And congrats on the loss! I think setting realistic exercise goals is a great idea, especially during this transition…

@renaegry I feel you on those winter blues, I can't wait until it get warmer out and I can start to move outside again! @trooworld It's truly amazing how stress stores in different areas of our body. I get stomach aches when I'm stressed. I hope the stretching helped! @joannadavison I can't imagine still paying for a…

Thank you @trooworld! And it truly is a beautiful space, she really went all out designing it and it makes my life so much easier that I don't have to find a venue! @TeresaW1020 Too true, I'm trying to live in the moment but I'm just so excited about the being married part. And I love women's events so I hope you have a…
