@trooworld I love that, it sounds so beautiful! I would love to do outdoors but I don't trust the weather. We're hoping to use my aunt's barn, which has a big wrap around deck that overlooks the countryside @theslightedgeforever OMG that story is too funny! And if I could get away with no party and a license I would, but…

@theslightedgeforever oh my goodness I love your wedding story! I've seen stats that the less you spend on the wedding, the more likely you are to stay together. You two must take the cake on that! If it were just up to me I'd just run away and elope, but he doesn't want to offend people so we're doing a family party. My…

@trooworld One pound isn't bad at all! I'm hoping mine will be that low, but I'm giving myself a week to even out sodium-wise before I try @TeresaW1020 That sounds like a very emotional evening, I'm glad you're able to be there for your friend. We're planning on a very small wedding. Courthouse and a family party at my…

Welcome @Tattoomama4440 @theslightedgeforever Thank you! And I'm sure your gain is temporary and likely water weight retention caused by the drug. I wouldn't worry too much, just keep doing what you're doing! @TeresaW1020 Thank you! It was a complete shock. We are pretty nontraditional and have been together for over seven…

Hi Ladies! I am officially back from my cruise and it was fabulous. We explored three different ports in Mexico, ate multi-course meals every night, and went to a bunch of the musicals and comedy shows. And to top it all off, we got engaged! I haven't weighed in yet and I don't plan to until next week so the sodium can…

Alright ladies, last post before I'm incommunicado for a week and a half (I'm coming back, I promise!). @trooworld Do you get to travel somewhere fun? I hope you get some relaxation and downtime amidst the work @theslightedgeforever Happy almost birthday!!! Are you doing anything fun to celebrate? And I hope to live as…

@its_cleo I feel you on the bad skin thing. I had horrible acne when I was younger (that still hasn't entirely gone away, nor do I think it ever will) and it definitely takes away any 'youthful glow' I could hope for. There are times I debate fillers, but who's got the time or the money? @Joannadavison A full day of…

@TeresaW1020 Your morning story was hilarious, I literally started laughing out loud at my desk! "Not today Satan!" @trooworld Mapo Tofu is one of my favorites, how delicious! I always end up ordering mine since I don't have the patience to make it at home. I bet yours was delicious! @theslightedgeforever Way to go on your…

@nighthazel01 So exciting to have all your kids home at the same time, I hope you had a wonderful weekend with them! @trooworld I hate that so much! I always get so frustrated when the kitchen is left a mess (it's as if he doesn't notice the dishes in the sink for a week!). And the dinner was fabulous! I'm stealing the…
-
@joannadavison How was the hunter chicken? That sounds delicious! @theslightedgeforever So sorry to hear it moved to your lungs. And I LOVE peanut butter on pancakes. One of my favorite dinners when I was poor in grad school (the first time around) was putting peanut butter on nutrigrain waffles. YUM! @trooworld OMG DMV…
-
@theslightedgeforever How frustrating! I'm so sorry to hear your illness is clinging on. I hope you get your voice back soon and start to feel better. @trooworld Mine's online as well so I feel your pain! And I'm sure they'll come out of the woodwork soon, I think our state gets cookies later than other states *sigh*…
-
@its_cleo Thank you for your kind thoughts. I do journal pretty frequently and it is very calming, but sometimes nothing calms the storm if that makes sense. It is a group project and found out NONE of my groupmates realized they signed up for the one due Monday...I hate people. So I gave them all homework assignments and…
-
@cbabie I am definitely at my pressure cooker moment! Thank goodness this vacation is coming soon. I've got a group project that needs to be done Sunday, but one of my group members signed up for this week but is vacationing IN MEXICO and is not responding to anyone....seriously, who does this to other people???…
-
@its_cleo I LOVE your SMART goals! I think you're doing a great job making incremental life changes and I love that you're setting yourself up for success with future maintenance. @TeresaW1020 Fabric resistance bands sound way less painful! Keep me posted on how they go! @trooworld I'm pretty lazy with breakfast so I do…
-
@RetiredAndLovingIt Great treadmill workout! @TeresaW1020 So sorry to hear about your pastor, I hope he has a quick recovery. And congrats on the loss! @trooworld I'm so sorry to hear about your family member, and about the student loan payment error. I'd call their customer service and/or report them. That stinks to have…

@joannadavison Starbucks makes school planning sound like so much more fun. And 90 minutes at the gym is impressive! @trooworld Sounds fascinating! Once I have a break in classes I'll have to add it to my reading list! @theslightedgeforever That sounds like a fantastic resource! I'm fortunate I don't really have any food…
-
@RetiredandLovingIt2 I'm going to Cabo, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. I'm so excited for warm weather and relaxation! Congrats on holding steady weight-wise and getting all your steps in. @TeresaW1020 Great idea about the swimsuit, talk about being front and center on my mind! I hope you have a great workout today, I…
-
@its_cleo I hear the hot springs there are TO DIE FOR! I am jealous already, I bet you have an amazing time @TeresaW1020 I hope you have a wonderful, restful day and that you feel less sore tomorrow @cbabie I'm with you, I do so much better when I do physical activity right away in the morning. That way I don't have time…
-
@joannadavison How was the hair appointment? I hope you feel refreshed @Its_cleo Sorry to hear about your wrist, I'm glad you were able to fit physical activity back in. And as my partner reminds me, you deserve a life too, it doesn't always have to be around the fur babies. You only live once, its only two weeks, she will…

@TeresaW1020 Coworker happy hour went well! I decided I didn't want to drink and they had a cauliflower crust pizza on the menu so my calories were pretty decent. I do back to back classes a lot since 1 hour doesn't feel like enough when I'm trying to learn or drill a new skill (my weight issue is clearly food related lol)…
-
@joannadavison That sounds so painful! I am intensely jealous of your country's medical system. I'm fortunate that I have good health insurance, but there are so many people who are uninsured or under-insured that it hurts my heart. I hope now that the procedure is over you feel better! @TeresaW1020 it sounds like you've…
-
@trooworld Especially with the wine and the book that sounds so dreamy! I can't wait for this weekend when I have some downtime so I can get some relaxation like that in! @theslightedgeforever Way to go with the maintenance plan! I think sometimes we get so wrapped up in weight loss and forget the importance of also…
-
@joannadavison I love that you've booked some pamper time just for you. I hope it ends up being a very relaxing weekend! I have no advice on sugar cravings. I have to fit in a sweet treat every day or I straight up binge @TeresaW1020 Great job adjusting your workout to fit your body! And 12lb weights are impressive!!!…

Hi everyone! Sorry I was MIA this weekend. Friday I had yoga and drinks with friends, Saturday I had judo, ran errands, and had my SO's holiday party, and Sunday we had family lunch and friends over for dinner/movies. I am exhausted. Luckily I planned nothing for this upcoming weekend so I have some time to recover. I made…
-
@TheresaW1020 That is going to be a big change for both you and your spouse! Transitions are always hard, but I hope the transition goes as smoothly as possible. @trooworld I'm so sorry to hear that, that sounds like a horribly stressful and difficult situation. @theslightedgeforever I feel you with the people pleasing. I…

@trooworld Choosing the healthy choice when tired is a huge NSV, way to go! And leftovers make the week so much easier, way to set yourself up for success. I hope you feel better soon. @theslightedgeforever Losing a pound with company is a huge NSV! Way to go!!! Great job overpowering your old habits and the *F* it…
-
@TheresaW1020 How cool that you're becoming a group leader! All the more motivation to keep killing it in the new year. I wish you the best with your Mom. That is a big transition, but it sounds like a very important one for everyone. @cbabie I know I struggle with eating when I'm sleep deprived too, hopefully you got more…
-
@joannadavison That makes total sense to set your resolution at the start of the school year. Since I joined the group late, what was yours for fall? Is it something you can work towards for spring? I love hearing you talk about your classroom practices, you sound like such an amazing and conscientious teacher. @trooworld…
-
@trooworld I agree, I'd kill for another weekend! That is the one downside of adulting. As kids, we think we'll have all this time. As adults, I swear sometimes everything feels like obligations and errands and all I want to do is sit down with a good book! @theslightedgeforever If you like fantasy novels/shows you'll like…
-
@renaegry way to go on all that activity, keep getting those steps in! You is also one of my favorite Netflix shows. Have you checked out the Witcher yet? @trooworld I did the same thing with tracking after yesterday. Luckily it wasn't as bad as I thought it was! @its_cleo that's such a small gain itll be gone in no time.…
