April 21 Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes Passes: 0/3 I love the pictures everyone posts. It's cold enough here that I don't want to linger long enough for a picture just yet. Our house picks up sunrise on the front porch and sunset on the back deck/patio. I'll have to share soon.

New NSVs that are really too fun so I have to share. I know I can't be the only person working on this that has someone who lives with them also tagging along. For me, it is my mother. Mom has typically weighed less than me ... difference in muscle mass, but looks heavier than me. It's all a function of her years. There…

April 19 Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes Passes: 0/3 I've given my body a rest doing minimal exercise, 30 minutes in the garden for a few days. My battery feels recharged so It's time to get back into more concentrated exercise again, I think.

@Chinkiri Good for you figuring out that structure helps you! Can I go with you to the seaside? I'm feeling the need for some time off...

@LazyBlondeChef I'm not much for sweets either. I much prefer salty things and wine. It would be MUCH more difficult for me if I were traveling just because of eating at restaurants. It's not as bad if I'm walking all day and tracking the calories would be very hard.

April 18 Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes Passes: 0/3 @oh_jackie Don't feel guilty about posting or about falling out of your routine after hitting your goal weight. Folks here can help! I have not hit my ultimate goal yet, however I have learned several things about myself and have started thinking about how to…

April 17 Tracking: yes Exercise: yes Calories: yes passes: 0/3 I went on one of my weekend 3 mile walks today. It felt good!

@calvin20874 Congratulations! You should feel good about it. One thing that happened to me when I hit that number I had not been able to hit in years is the weight seemed to come down easier so I just reset to my next goal number.

April 15 Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes Passes: 0/3 I'm late on this but this NSV happened to me today. I walked into an area of the office where a coworker was (it was a slow day for us). She looked up and said, "Hello little person."

April 14 Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes Passes: 0/3 I take my lunch to work almost every day. On this day, my coworkers ordered pizzas and picked up a chocolate cake and ice cream at the store. When they offered the dessert to me, I said no thank you with a smile. A part of them thinks I don't want to eat with…

@MadisonMolly2017 Inspiring! I'm working on my walking gait and trying to not overdo so I don't create another injury. To do it every day, I'll have to invest in the right clothes for all weather types. LOL

@MadisonMolly2017 Way to go! You'll have to share some of your tactics!

April 12 Exercise: Yes Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Passes: 0/3 I did fasting, 16 hours off/8 where I could. It helped me cut late night snacking and really wasn't a burden since I'm not hungry early in the morning anyway. It helped me start my weight loss. I counted calories all that time though and when I found I was…

@katybug51 Welcome to the group Kathryn! I like the ease of tracking enough to think about a second Garmin for my bike.

@pamjsa I agree with this. Sometimes you need to eat a little more to lose a little more. Here's to more great weigh-ins! April 11 Calories: yes Tracking: yes Exercise: yes Passes: 0/3

I was absolutely convinced that this was going to be a pass day. It wasn't! My exercise was working in the garden an hour or so. I had a relatively late breakfast that was higher calorie than usual and we had planned a dinner that I knew packed a huge number of calories, brandied shrimp. Mom and I allow ourselves a half…

April 8 Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes Passes: 0/3 I barely made the calories and was convinced my weight would be up. It wasn’t!

April 7 Exercise: Yes Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Passes: None @Chinkiri Focus on the positive, definitely. While the distance may be great and the time lengthy, the link is still there. Technology helps. My family is spread out which has meant we have always traveled some. Not being able to do that has taken a toll on my…

@SummerSkier Your reaction sounds like the one my boss's daughter, a nurse, had. Take it easy a day or two. @LazyBlondeChef Good luck with the shingles shot. My Mom had no issues with that one a few years ago but I haven't had it yet.

@SummerSkier I hope your second jab goes as well as mine did last Friday. I planned to take it easy over the weekend which my body probably needed anyway. Never felt bad and in fact think my arm never got as sore as it did for the first jab. A coworker was ok until about a day after then said she felt like she had been hit…

April 5 Exercise: Yes, 45 minutes on the elliptical Calories: Yes Tracking: Yes passes: none The person who helps with our yard was here today while I was at work. After cleaning up one of the bedding areas to prepare for him this weekend, it really looks good. He can do in a day what would take me a month of evenings and…

@KCJen I have issues with my feet and knees so do not run. However, I'm a huge proponent of going to a running store like @mshawski suggested. I do that for the shoes I walk in. They make sure the shoes fit and check my walking gait to make sure I'm in the right shoes. Last time, they added an arch support to help. I walk…
