Thanks so much for your kind words. When I found out about in-home being a service I was grateful. I thought our other dog, Emmy, who is an anxious 11 year old ridgeback who vomits at the vets and car rides over 10 minutes, would need it first and it seemed like the best option for her. After going through the procedure I…

Small world, my wife (KHill875) and I moved back to Houston last year, and live in Katy.

@LaurieWrobo @pedal__power @StacyAru @jessicakrall8 thank you all for the kind words @PatriceFitnessPal I'm sorry to hear about your loss of Mitch.

Bearchested Friday PW: 195.6 CW: 194.4 LTD: 12.6 We had a terrible week, having to say goodbye to one our dogs, Addy, on Monday. While we've somewhat anticipated losing a pet sometime in the next couple years (both her and our other large dog are 11, and our cat is 16) she wasn't showing any signs of an issue. On Friday…

Hope you're feeling better. I just track my water in the MFP app. I also switched my primary water bottle to a liter bottle so it's easy to remember to drink 4 liters.

We have too much leftover food from our daughter's birthday party. My plan is to avoid most of the unhealthy leftover pizza, chips, queso etc and tackle the leftover salad, fruit, and veggies. I'm also hiding from the cupcakes. Wish me luck.

Bearchested Friday PW: 196.6 CW: 197.0 Sorry for posting late. Made some good decisions on vacation last weekend, but not good enough.

Bearchested Friday (going on short vacation so weighed early) PW: 198.0 CW: 196.6 LTD: 10.4 I've been eating a protein shake before meals and large snack times, which has helped me feel fuller sooner.

Bearchested Friday PW: 197.8 CW: 198.0 After a week of work travel and seeing friends, along with a lot more overall consumption than I'm used to, and I'm happy with generally being the same weight. Focusing on 7 hours of sleep per night, which has done wonders for my productivity and overall mood. Last time I tried this I…

@ewilhelm2487 Sorry to hear how the shortage is affecting you. I feel so bad for parents with babies right now.

@jessicakrall8 Jessica, I'm traveling most of next week for work and won't be back until Sunday, so I'll miss next week's weigh-in

Bearchested Friday PW: 194.6 CW: 197.8 LTD: 9.2 I made some poor diet choices this weekend that bled into early this week. If I don't log my first or second meal I sometimes treat the day as a free for all...not good. I've realized I can't sustain 5-5.5 hours of sleep each night and expect to make lifting goal and weight…

Bearchested Friday PW: 194.6 CW: 194.6 LTD: 12.4 I'm feeling good about this week. We got back from vacation on Monday night, and I definitely gained a little. Also had a couple work lunches / dinners this week and did an ok job staying within my macros.

Bearchested Friday We left for vacation yesterday morning and I forgot to weigh in. For those of you working on water goals, aside from zero calorie flavor packets, two other things have helped me set a habit of drinking a gallon of water a day (which has made a huge difference for me compared to the old 8 glasses…

Friday is my weigh day, and since I weighed 195.6 on Friday that's what I put. I usually weigh myself everyday which is why I mentioned my Saturday weight. I'm fine putting either number as my weigh-in this week.

Bearchested Friday PW: 196.0 CW: 195.6 LTD: 11.4 Sorry I missed yesterday, I was running around shopping and setting up camp as my daughter wanted to camp in the backyard this weekend. I'm a little confused with the scale yesterday. I was 194.8 on Thursday morning, and was aiming for 1.5lb loss this week. I went to an…

@PatriceFitnessPal my heart goes out to you

Since it's the mid-year review time at work, it's a good time for me to reflect on mid-year NSVs. I've made a habit of almost daily exercise, as well as being less sedentary overall, such as standing at my desk while working. I've finally worked on maintaining a regular skin care routine, and dealt with my gradual loss of…

@LaurieWrobo Hope all goes well with your husband's surgery

@TheMrWobbly I agree with your statement regarding choices (outside of health concerns that could make things more difficult). This has been my second best year for weight loss and strength gain / muscle growth since my daughter was born almost 6 years ago. I've always struggled with making the positive choice when I'm…

@CasandraW Glad you're feeling better. Hopefully your power is back on by now.

@LaurieWrobo I echo @CasandraW comment. I usually check this thread at least every other day, read most posts, but I don't always know what to say. I'll also try to do better with interacting here.

Bearchested Friday PW: 195.4 CW: 196.0 LTD: 11.0 I need to get better at tracking everything I consume, especially on the weekends.

Bearchested Friday PW: 198.2 CW: 195.4 LTD: 11.6 I haven't been great with exercising this week, which actually helped with my cravings (plus getting plenty of protein.) My allergies are going crazy right now and I'm very busy at work. I finally decided to get my allergies tested, and will be starting on allergy shots in a…

I'm not sure if you're looking for advice, but if so something that helped me make a habit of drinking more water are those low / zero calorie water flavor packets. There are so many to choose from now. After a few months I rarely need even one a day to hit my goal of a gallon.

Bearchested Friday PW: 195.6 CW: 198.2 I haven't been tracking my food as closely, but I think most of this gain is just bloating. Started training jiu jitsu again and have been keeping up with my other workouts.

Bearchested Friday CW: 195.6 PW: 195.4 LTD: 11.4 Thought I posted yesterday but apparently I forgot to finish.

Bearchested Friday PW: 194.2 CW: 195.4 LTD: 11.6 Still struggling with getting enough sleep, especially with trying to get back to waking up early since coming back from a couple of trips. I think I've finally drilled it into myself that I always feel worse if I snooze or try to sleep another 30-40 minutes. Thankfully I…

Bearchested Friday Sorry, I forgot to post yesterday. We're on a mini vacation and I forgot to check my weight before we left.
