No problems with our flight today! We arrived safely in Seattle. Visited the Museum of Flight. Right now we are in an Uber on our way to the hotel. It’s been a long day. I'm looking forward to dinner followed by a good night of sleep.

@meredithcox95 Welcome!!! We are happy to have you join us. I always recommend first step be to just log your food to evaluate one small sustainable change to make at a time. Love the fact that you've already decided to focus on soda pop. It has sooooo much sugar and empty calories. I'm sure you'll notice a difference…

Thank you. We received instructions to check in, which we've done, but they did not issue a boarding pass. Once we are on the flight, then I will take a deep breath. Depending on how things go, we may not be able to get home. Being stuck in Seattle will be alright. Lots of things to do and see there.

I ate a mini Baby Bel cheese after I posted yesterday. Today is going to be a busy day, drop the dog off at camp, vacuum and mop the floors, finish packing and continue to wait and watch to see if our flight gets cancelled. Uber is coming at 5:15AM. I don't remember the last time I had to get up that early. So close to…

Logging really late today. Yesterday was a good day, walked the dogs, exercised, vacuumed the house and went to Back to the Future at Mirvish. The show was really good. Stayed within my IN calories. Today we visited my MIL & FIL (left at 9am returned home at 3pm). I cleaned the bathrooms and then exercised. We've been…

@dawnbgethealthy beautiful lake! @deepwoodslady that sounded scary. I hope you feel better.

@dawnbgethealthy I've checked your dates for challenge 24 and they look good to me. I like the way you put the last two extra days into week 14. In my previous Excel file I had just 2 days for week 15 and it was really weird to have an average weight for just 2 days. I like 9 days better. @deepwoodslady @dawnbgethealthy…

Good day yesterday, walked the dogs, exercised and visited with a neighbour. We are going to Mirvish tonight to see Back to the Future.

@Jon4189 Enjoy the golf tournament!

Yesterday we visited our niece, it was great to see extended family and four of the grand nieces and nephews. Food choices were fine until dessert came out. I don't understand why my SIL bought so many desserts because both she and her daughter are diabetic, her husband is on keto (has been for 2 years and has lost 145…

@dawnbgethealthy Love your garden!! Thank you for posting pictures.

Visited our youngest son yesterday, which is always a low activity day. It used to always be a high calorie day, but I made good choices and kept within my IN target.

Logging late today. Visited with our youngest son today, means I didn't have time to log before we left. Today's success: we ordered pizza for lunch and I only had 1 piece and 1 crazy puff (like a pizza tart). Normally, when we order pizza, I have 2 slices of pizza and 2 crazy puffs. I definitely could have eaten more, but…

@bteri107 Guess I’ll jump on the band wagon and start tracking my trend weight. Hop on, it is fun!

yup. It is a balancing act. I like that you decided to eat lunch before going to the fair. That's setting yourself up for success! I read this precision nutrition info graphic yesterday. I like the way they illustrate the effort required for each esthetic. I really like their articles.

@deepwoodslady 08/08—185.6 ❌ (Trend Weight: 186.7) Over on calories by 373. Does that equal 1.8 lb gain? Hmmm. Well, carbs were over too but still. Correction? Fluid build-up? Ice cream from 2 days ago showing up? Weight was not a fluke because I tried scale 3 times. Humph! Trend weight still going down so I’ll celebrate…

My brother has also done 2 Alaskan cruises. One just earlier this year. He loved them both. In the US we've camped as far west as Montana, east as Massachusetts, south as Tennessee. Last year we were at Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. It was absolutely beautiful and quiet. The park is on the…

@ptitejeanne Look at you in the 150s. It always feels so good!

All my red IN days are gone from my 7 day view. Scale is being kind and I'll take it. A new low 7 day trend weight. Good day yesterday, healthy food choices, walked and exercised. Yesterday's success: Our eldest son comes by on Thursday's. Yesterday, he was really stressed out because his computer wasn't working. My…

deepwoodslady lives in northern Michigan. I'm Canadian and live in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). I don't think I've ever had deep fried ice cream. Just google Sopapillas … they look tasty! My husband and I just ordered a new trailer and hope to travel all through the US with it. But, we might need to wait 3.5 more years…

@Crochetluvr Day 85—08/07— 163.8 - After a tough week, I am back on track! The anxiety has passed for now. I had the surgery on my hand 2 days ago and the pain is practically non existent...not like last time. Food is back to normal. I did discover something the other day. I treated myself to an Italian hoagie from Jersey…

@plantpowered This is very slow-going, but it has to be like that for me. This needs to feel like normal daily life and not like some temporary deprivation. This pace feels sustainable for daily living. I can live with this. This is how I feel as well. This isn't temporary. This is a lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle. It has…

As I said yesterday, "You never know what the scale is going to do." These daily fluctuations are normal, frustrating, confusing, emotional roller coasters, but for today, I'll take it. If my body will keep today's weight for the next week, then I'll consider my 140 goal met. I know that is unlikely to happen, because in 7…

Logging late today. Yesterday we walked the dogs and I exercised. Then I sat in front of my computer almost all afternoon doing some final planning for our trip. This translates into less movement yesterday. Today we visited my FIL, who is still in the hospital. Left home at 10am, returned at 4pm. Not much movement there.…

@Jon4189 Love the Saturn image.

I'm on track to not have an average weight for week 12 that is greater than week 11. I just need to maintain my weight somewhere between yesterday and today. I know I have virtually no control over the scale. I can only control what I eat and how much I move. So, today, I will do my best to eat on plan and keep moving. In…

oh, she has an opinion and requires people to pet her! She is a very ‘licky’ dog. She doesn't normally like to snuggle, but she makes an exception with our youngest son.

@Crochetluvr Take care of yourself. You have a lot going on. When I'm feeling really stressed, I find this Daily Calm 10 minute mediation helps to clear my mind and calm my system.

Thought I'd share a picture of our dog, Luna. She is a Newfoundland dog. We are currently dog sitting a 40lb LabraDoodle. Luna keeps going in his crate…. She doesn't quite fit She was 25 pounds when we brought her home at 10 weeks old. She is now 125 pounds and 2 years old. This was the day we brought her home.

@Jon4189 You are within 5 pounds of your challenge goal! Way to go! @bteri107 Such cuties! I love animals. @ptitejeanne Look at that new #9. Doesn't that feel great!
