thinner winners please

@HealthyBarb1 -thx! Today I was not loving the heat outside. So I speed walked my library books back to the libary-and then speed walked home. I didn't intend to go that fast-but I had a time crunch so away I went-can't run with 3 books and then picked up one and knew i couldn't run with it

What do you like to be called? How did you learn about the 5% Challenges? How many 5% Challenges have you done? More than I can count What do you like to do for fun? Read, book challenges, play games (online, traditional, solo or with friends) What major city do you live in or near? State? Tell us a bit about where you…

Hi my name is Mary. Hot day in Jersey! I ran even though it was hot

thinner winners please. I am the game leader

@Dianedoessmiles1 -today i think it got up to 78 but felt a lot warmer. My exercise was moving bags of mulch for hubby! Maybe tomorrow i'll run but i think i have more bags of mulch (really good deal on it-only this weekend) @Tabatha_Cain -thx! No MRI yet-got it in a week

Hi all! It's friday night...not sure how good the scale will be to me tomorrow. Less movement for me this week between my grandma's funeral and my younger daughter being off school yesterday and today. Hoping to sneak a run in tomorrow. @Tabatha_Cain -aw thx so much. That's awesome your grandma was your best friend . My…

@Tabatha_Cain -aw thx for sharing your hard water info. And that's cool someone approached you about a possible job. Keep us updated!

@Dianedoessmiles1 -I'm so sorry I am just seeing this (from weeks ago). Pretty good here. My older daughter is home for another week until she leaves for her overnight summer camp job (teaching clarinet). Younger daughter is in a slow cycle finally-the drama is done, now we're in the final push of school-we have two…

@Tabatha_Cain I'm playing catch up on posts but i saw your post about cleaning calcium posts. My mother in law said my house has hard water-that''s what is in our toilet and shower-I can clean some of it but it always comes back. thx you!

Thinner Winner please Game person

Hi all! I finally got all caught up on the chat! @Tabatha_Cain -glad all went well with the funeral and that Joe could come with you. I think they are so strict on bereavement leave b/c so many people aren't honest about it. They will say they have relatives that they don't actually have just to get the time off.

sending prayers and hugs!

Hi all! Well yesterday my 7 lb chiweenie came in from outside totally out of it. Didn’t eat or drink anything. Didn’t run up the stairs following us. She was really panting and something was up with her back legs. Took her to the dr-back pain! Her breed is known for spine troubles. So she’s on prednisone for the next two…

@Tabatha_Cain -aw good call to stay home from church. Our church is midway up a major road. The road isn't plowed well and the parking lot is even worse. If it's iffy, we stay home. And i am glad your office was closed. If it's a sheet of ice, there probably won't be a lot of customers. Lots of places around here are known…

Hi all! Sorry it's been awhile so i am enjoying catching up on here. I'm in Northwest NJ so we got pounded last week twice with snow. This week it's just been 10-29 degrees so nothing has melted. Today got up to 34 so we've had stuff melting but we also have rain. @kaliswalker -lol I'm not from Canada but those would be my…

I just heard about this group-so i just sent an application. I'll look for the friend request.

@Ceriusly1 -thx for sharing your journey here! It's amazing how these challenges can change everything!

Hi all! Sorry for not being on here that much. I enjoy reading up on everyone's activities. @Dianedoessmiles1 -lol you are funny! Are you gonna get pounded this weekend though? Our news comes out of NYC so they are saying rain/snow mix-but on their weather map-you can see i am in the 3-6 inches area. My younger one (L) has…

Hi all! was catching up on all the chats-sorry i couldn't respond to much. @Tabatha_Cain -i hope you made your sales goals and that you have a great new years! @Dianedoessmiles1 -aw love the pics...of the kids and kitties...and thx...you helped me so much with ideas last time and @dilberta this time! I hope the weather is…

@Dianedoessmiles1 -hey! I missed you too! How are your grandkids-how are the kitties? So they do an ultrasound on my thyroid b/c like 7 years ago they found a nodule on my thyroid when i had to have a neck ultrasound after getting a concussion (from falling while running in the ice)...so now once a year i get it checked,…

Hi all! Later than usual checking in. Today i had my thyroid ultrasound. very happy i don't have to go back for a year! My daughter had callbacks for the spring musical. She finds out this week what part she got. @HeevenleeRose -i hope your moxie is 100% soon! i have a chiweenie-part doxie part chihuahua. She likes to take…

Hi all! My younger daughter had a very full weekend-which made me happy-she is known for spending way too many hours just in the house doing homework and chilling. Hubby and i went to the mall today while she was at a get - together. @Tabatha_Cain -yup we got her bike! And bonus points she called just to chat today.

went to the mall with hubby today, got a lot of steps, dinner at red robin

How many 5% Challenges have you done? a bunch-i honestly don't know. did a couple years of them on spark people. What do you like to do for fun? read, walk, exercise, do book challenges. What major city do you live in or near? State? 45 west of NYC What are you health/fitness goals for this season? get my weight under…

Thinner winners please. I can do games again if you want

Hi all! Well it is warmer than it was Tuesday and Wednesday. I was able to walk the dog and walk with a friend. Hubby has off tomorrow. I think we are going on a longer ride tomorrow to get my daughter her Christmas gift of a bike. @Tabatha_Cain -i hope you get good info from the bariatric place. And yup woke up this…

Hi all! feeling little crummy right now-got my covid shot and hitting the side effects now-iffy tummy and a headache and tired...as soon as my 15 yo goes to bed i probably will..
