@MindfulManatee and @Zaxa2021 - I appreciate your insights and suggestions about 75 Hard. I especially like the idea of keeping the diet simple and giving myself a little grace if I fall a little short one day. I might not start over again from Day 1 if I’m only slightly off my diet or the other 75 Hard daily goals, but I…

@MindfulManatee - Did you restart the 75 Hard program? I haven’t been very successful with it in the past, but I’ve decided to give it another try, starting tomorrow (Sunday). The rowing season ends November 1st so I’d like to use the program as a way to build positive habits while transitioning to winter conditioning. I…

Good morning! I’m focusing my attention on decluttering today. My husband is in Japan. He’s attending a karate training camp this weekend and then he has some business meetings. One friend that he grew up with in Boston (who now lives in San Diego, CA) is going to visit Japan with his son while my husband is there to show…

Nice losses, @Zaxa2021, @Tomsgal1985 and @mulecanter! Getting closer to our goal weight means our bodies don’t need as many calories for daily activities. So we don’t burn as many calories throughout the day. Losing half a pound in one week is very good progress. Good work! Yikes! 😳 That’s terrible @nancyinmiami! I hope…

Yes — @izzyred9400, I’m still planning to run the original Greek marathon route next November (2027). I appreciate your recommendations. I’ll probably arrive a couple of days before the event to get used to the time change, so I like the idea of visiting Marathon Bay. I’m sorry to hear about your discomfort while traveling…

Congratulations to this week’s team leaders 🎉🎉🎉 — @Tomsgal1985, @looneycatblue, and @jessicakrall8! Great job on your walking streak, too, @looneycatblue! My motivation ebbs and flows so it’s better for me if I don’t rely on motivation. I have to set up accountability instead, like playing soccer on a team and rowing in a…

My older son lives and works in Boston but he was visiting this weekend to celebrate his friend’s wedding nearby so we had dinner together last night. I made the chicken francese recipe and everyone enjoyed it. I think my mashed potatoes evened out the calories saved but at least they didn’t add more! Thank you for sharing…

Hello, Shape Shifters! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. I don’t have any major plans this weekend @jessicakrall8, but it feels just busy enough. One of my soccer team mates is having a retirement party tonight but my older son is visiting from Boston, where he lives and works, so I probably won’t make it to the…

@jguldi11 - Congratulations on improving your plank and building your core strength! It’s still rewarding to see the points rise — we can visualize being in top shape for the next battle when it comes!

I’ve really been enjoying your landscape photos @MindfulManatee! The early morning sky and dew bring a unique combination of color, light, and texture! Greece is always so beautiful, too! Thanks for sharing your holiday photos @izzyred9400. Great steps, everyone — It’s impressive to see your posts, especially since the…

Thursday’s Report on Defeating the Boss, Lassitus, Master of Immobility — Today, I worked hard to avoid the spell that can immobilize my character by joining a lesson to improve my racing skills. I’ve never raced a single sculling boat before so it was a good challenge! Ranger — Hunter's Pursuit, Level 7 Boss Damage: +50…

Here’s my weekly weigh-in report — PW: 148.2 CW: 149.5 SW: 168.0 LtD: 18.5 I had another gain this week, probably b/c my routine was off due to my travel and surgery. I ate a lot of carbs (pasta primavera for dinner, etc.) yesterday, too. So, that probably contributed to the high jump. I’ll need to track my calories more…

@emmclean: “I've not done the sums but surely our boss is almost toppled now?” 😂🤣😂 — Good work, everyone!

Wednesday Report: Ranger — Hunter's Pursuit I'm at Level 7 (or 70 HP) Today (Wednsday), I completed 60+ minutes of cardio by rowing outdoors on the Potomac River. The water was rough but we still had a fun row in our 8-person "sweep" boat. Seven of today's rowers, plus one person who was not available this morning, will be…

Congratulations on leading the team with your losses this week @Zaxa2021, @looneycatblue, and @Tomsgal1985! My husband and younger son spent the weekend in Boston. They stayed with our older son the first night and then played in a friend’s golf tournament on Saturday. They were supposed to go deep sea fishing today but…

Congratulations on all your progress! It was a small but mighty group. I consulted with the rowing coach and personal trainer after yesterday’s surgery and they both recommended canceling. It’s a rainy day and I’ve been resting after surgery and traveling (with a small time zone adjustment) earlier in the week. The good…

@CasandraW - Have you tried the ‘Recipe Discovery’ section of MFP? There are various categories to search, like recipes in 30-minutes or those using the air fryer @jessicakrall8. I think you will find lots of great suggestions. I appreciate your reminder to visit that section! I’m going to make one of the Mediterranean…

Vegas seems to be the popular host for bowling events. I think @LaurieWrobo also traveled there to support her husband’s team. Good luck at the bowling sweep, @looneycatblue and enjoy the trip! I’m sure your new hair color won’t stand out in Las Vegas, where there are so many vibrant colors and personalities. Are you…

Here’s my weekly weigh-in report — PW: 147.2 CW: 148.2 SW: 168 LtD: 19.8 I didn’t exercise while traveling this week - and there were more desserts and snacks at the conference than I usually have - but I’m back on track. Today, I had a good rowing lesson and walked more than 10,000 steps. Best wishes for the rest of the…

Wow! 🤩 Great loss @looneycatblue! Nice steps, everyone! Hope you’re feeling better today, @MindfulManatee. @p8m6bwghh9 - I’m having trouble figuring out what kind of animal is camouflaged in you photo. What is it? I’m in San Antonio for work and I enjoy the Riverwalk area. Tonight, we have a social event at the Alamo. It’s…

I’m sorry I haven’t been participating much this week but I’m following your progress— great job, everyone! I’m starting at Level 4 plus 200 points, but I’m traveling for work and my schedule has been hectic. I’ve focused on walking by the river here in San Antonio, TX so I’ll look back at my step counts and activities…

Do you have to sign up ahead of time to get the 30k, 40k, or 50k Garmin badge? I didn’t see anything last week, on the day of the half marathon. I don’t really collect them actively but maybe one of these days I’ll get more organized—

Wow 🤩 — Great job! @Zaxa2021
