I "try" to get at least 8 hours. Our dog Chunk wakes us up to go outside so hubby and I take turns on dog duty. I could sleep 10 hours though.

I'm here... it's been a crazy last few days (for sure). Saturday: We got invited to a cook-out at the state park for Sunday. I mentioned we would bring some chicken legs for the kiddos and I'll make my cast iron pineapple upside down cake. Hubby and I went on an afternoon date down to the casino for a bit (free play). I…

I'm here: 4/10: 1882 4/11: 3885 4/12: 4282 4/13: 6827 4/14: 8226 4/15: 3538 4/16: 8218

I'm getting a new scale this weekend. The one we have is really "cheapy". Probably need a reputable one.... ♥

@melissadreed903 have you started a lifting or strength regimen? that can make the scale go nuts the first 3 weeks[/quote] No lifting whatsoever. I'm hoping it's the scale.

Did you try changing the batteries? You would have to eat so many calories to gain 10 pounds so you are right there is no way. Did you have a high sodium meal? Do you weigh yourself weekly or daily? We did change the batteries... I'm weighing in weekly (Friday). I did have a higher than normal sodium day yesterday but…

I'm angry as heck. There is absolutely NO WAY that I've gained 10 lbs from last Friday. NO WAY. I don't understand it. My scale is on crack. I've ate 90% clean ALL FREAKING week. PW: 228 CW: 238 Steps: 7,349 Feel free to review my diary because I'm frustrated as HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Step Count 4/12: 6,431 Just not feeling it today. Like, seriously not. Do you ever go into a "funk"??? I'm wondering if it's "post vacation blues". Yesterday's workout was some light cardio with weights. Nothing great. Need to pull this bug out of my buttocks.

look at you go girlfran!!! Whoop Whoop!!! Excellent!!

CARA!!!! Oh goodness! Glad your dad is doing good. Was he admitted??

*Jumping up and down* I'm here! I'm back and vacation STUNK!!!! The only thing accomplished that I did was rest. I didn't know how bad I was tired until vacation. We did absolutely NOTHING. Washington is a BEAUTIFUL state... just wished we had the opportunity to go sight seeing. I stayed on program but did NOT exercise one…

Holy beanbags @tahm42! That's AMAZEBALLS!!!

Weigh in Day: PW: 229 CW: 228.8 I'm so stinking tired. Body aches from sitting in these gawd awful hard hospital chairs. We're supposed to leave for Washington on Monday and the doctor feels he'll get a thumbs up to be discharged later today. CT scan showed a small hernia that could be causing his pain. (He said it's…

That sounds GREAT! Thank you Linda♥

Morning all. Well, my husband is in the hospital. He's been having some issues in his abdominal area (he's 2 years post liver transplant). He's having a CT scan now. I don't know if I will be able to check in everyday in the group. I'm going to bow out of April's challenge but keep logging in daily for my food, etc.…

I let MFP determine my calories but I too don't even come close to it but I did last night LOL!

Wow!! Great losses everyone!!!! This is the first time I've been CONSISTENT with logging in my food/water, etc for 30+ days. That alone is a great lifestyle new normal routine. *Pats self on back* Ok, so now the steps: 3/26: 3,827 3/27: Zero Stayed in calorie range both days. Creating a "healthy habit" has been fun so far.…

Here’s my checking from Thursday (steps) 3/24 5,156 3/25 Forgot Fitbit at home Stayed within calorie range. Gonna get some Vitamin D and go to the park and play with our grandkids that are visiting from Texas. I will check back in on Monday. Make it a great weekend!! Melly

WOW!!! That's a great loss! WTG!!

Melissadreed903 reporting for duty! PW: 231 CW: 229 Steps: I have no idea. I left my fitbit at home this morning and the last time it was synced was at lunchtime yesterday, so I'll have to get that info when I get home later this evening. Stayed within the calorie range though. I'm going ALL IN tonight on the calories. I…

YAAAAASSSSSSS girlfran!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning everyone! One day closer to Friday! Our kids are driving up from Texas for the weekend and I'm so excited! They're so fun, especially the grands. Hubby is mourning today. He sold his Harley yesterday afternoon. He was so depressed. He knows he can't ride it anymore (post transplant) and it was just sitting in…

"Looking in mirror" You got this girl

Great job everyone!!! Just being "accountable" is helping me so much!

@beautyofdreams Just try for 2 minutes each time until that feels doable then add a minute until that feels doable and repeat. That is how I had to start. Everybody in my rec center uses the treadmills or bike but not many use the elliptical so I was forced to start using it if wanted to do cardio when the weather is bad.…

This was me 2 weeks ago. I SWEAR, I planned to work out "IN MY MIND". I knew what time I would do it, what I would do and what to wear. I talked myself out of it "each" "and" "every" "time". I finally had to wear my workout gear to bed the night before. No lie. I had to also put a calendar in plain view that I would see…

Check in for 3/21 I went to the bootcamp and it isn't for me after all. I specifically stated that my moves would need to be modified and that at times I'm really weak. I guess what I said went right through her ear, bypassed her brain and went out the other ear. It was like she was a DRILL SARGENT screaming at me. When I…

Did a 20 minute strength workout only to finish 1/2 way. I'm cool with that. Finished on the elliptical and I swear it felt like 30 minutes of complete anguish and my thighs were on fire torture and I looked down and it was only 2 1/2 MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You elliptical warriors, I have the most UPMOST respect…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 3/18 4,732 steps 3/19 3,066 steps 3/20 6,464 I have to wait to get to a desktop or a laptop to log stats. For some reason when I click on the link (via cell phone), the text is so tiny that I need a HUGE magnifying glass to read it. Weekend was really uneventful. Like, so uneventful I was about to…
