I'm baaack- as promised, but no photos lol. I am really enjoying the BodySlims program, almost 3 weeks in and down 10 lbs - which I think is really great as I had already been actively losing immediately prior to starting it. I am also feeling so much more fit, and balance has improved, for which I credit tge daily 60…

Happy Thanksgiving weekend from Canada 🇨🇦 I will be gobbling him up later today! Wow, has been quiet here lately - I will come back with a proper update tomorrow!

Fall is fully here - had a walk in the sunshine today, admiring the trees. Several of this type are planted on the boulevard in my neighbourhood - spectacular!

@nicsflyingcircus Man, it would've been awesome to see Beck. What a nightmare for the organizers. Glad day one still happened - your Fitbit stats are amazing!!

Welcome back @SbetaK! You did great to maintain 👏

Love this song, haven't heard in ages, thanks for sharing!

I am back a few days, back eating well and the scale is cooperating - down a few lbs already, 3 more to go to get back to my 'pre-trip low'. Had a GREAT vacation, would go back to NYC in a heartbeat - really great city (or Manhattan is at any rate lol). My exciting news though is, starting today, I am doing the BodySlims…

I have had a few hairy 'alternate route' adventures myself! Even before google and GPS, I liked exploring and taking the road less travelled... My daughter though absolutely relies in her GPS, has no sense of direction whatsoever 🙄 - last March we went to the interior of our province to a nice spa resort, and on the way…

We did go up to the observation deck, beautiful clear day, fantastic views! I asked about shots yesterday and pharmacist said they expect 'flu and Covid boosters mid-October in my area.

Sadly, I take very few photos. I generally suck as a photographer, 99/100 times (blurry, cut off tops of buildings, finger in the photo - seriously suck 😑) My daughter takes all the photos which means I am in rather more than I would like! Occasionally I insist I should take a picture of her, and she lines me up. Here she…

The cruise was great! 4 ports, 2 sea days. We sailed with Princess Cruiseline (1st time), on the Enchanted Princess which is the new Love Boat lol. Comparable to Celebrity or Holland America. Passengers and crew all very happy and friendly. Liked the new OceanNow service which is like room service, but anywhere on the ship…

Home from NYC, what a great city 👍🏻, would go back there in a heartbeat. Much cleaner and fewer homeless than I expected - of course, I was in primarily tourist areas of Manhattan. Our hotel was 1/2 block from Times Square and yet somehow very quiet! Saw 2 Broadway shows - Lion King (unbelievable costumes and sets) + Book…

I am off the cruise ship, and did "eat lightly when the food is routine, and indulge more in the special things"! Which, including a few adult beverages, came to about 2400 calories daily...walking up and down the length of the ship added steps, as did excursions, and averaged 9/10,000, so I think I at least came out even.…

Last cruising day for me! Has been ab-fab, ports - weather - ship, just everything. Today is a very relaxing sea day. Sat in a hot tub on deck and watched a concert on a giant screen. Ocean is very calm. Tomorrow we disembark and begin our Big Apple adventures - starting with a matinee Broadway show!

Good reminder, thanks Ann!

This cracked me up - have y'all seen Cirque du Soleil? Crazy contortionists!

Drum roll please 🥁 I am down 50 lbs since joining MFP August 2021, and inched past the previous low weight achieved in 2022! I came so close, but never quite made it across the 50 goal line then. And I am only 2 lbs from getting into the next 'decade' but will be tough getting there because tomorrow I fly to NYC, cruise…

Hey, you are both doing so good - great to hear! Me, not so much. My move up to 5ml has triggered lots of nausea and feeling bloated and tired and headachy. I have had 3 doses, and cannot bring myself to do it again. I leave on vacation Friday night, last thing I need is to be on an airplane for 6 hours like this... I've…

My goodness PAV, I may end up in Halifax same time as you!! I am flying to New York City Friday (redeye flight) to board a cruise ship Saturday that goes up the east coast and the last stop is Halifax on I think the following Thursday. Then back to NYC for 5 nights at a hotel near Times Square - 1st time in New York, super…

I was away camping in the rain earlier this week, me, my daughter and granddaughter, and we are not hardy sorts haha but my granddaughter held up really well and we certainly had an adventure! Naturally (sigh) my weight rebounded while away, but at least I had lost my August vacation weight before camping, so pretty…

@jaded989 - my friend! Miss you on my Newsfeed!! ❤️ So, so happy for you and proud of you for hanging in through your looong period of slooow, little to no progress. Just goes to remind us all (you included) that perseverance is so necessary. Thanks for posting 🥰

It is a very pretty sign Yooly 😊. My goodness that is hot!! Our summer is cooling off, and I'm going camping for 2 nights next week- just hoping not too cool overnight (we are not hardy types- my daughter and granddaughter and me!).

We had some incredible thunder, lightening and the hard rain here overnight too. So happy for the rain!

Happy 65th Birthday @ridiculous59, what an inspiring way to celebrate 🍾 glad you both got to spend time out on the lakes like that. Looks beautiful and very calm. Well done! Tent looks sleek but tiny, did it fit both of you??

@Julieboolieaz, glad to hear you are feeling better and healing. Don't push it though. Well, I ended vacation up 4ish lbs, but it is coming off quickly now that I'm home and back on track. Often vacation weight gain takes me weeks to sort out, so I'm very encouraged! I think the medication may be helping in that regard as…

I am back properly from vacation (was home 2 days babysitting and room rearranging end of last week, then gone for 2 days again) and got my fridge restocked yesterday. Babysat 2 days this week, but have my time to myself (mostly) on Thursday and Friday - looking forward to getting caught up on Big Brother 🤣 My weight is…

Did any of you watch Squid Game? Now there's a staircase!

Sooo - useless then?? Who is even checking. What a rigmarole.

Hi Kristina, I agree that protein is very important to fit into our calories - it is important for preserving muscle mass as we lose weight, so that hopefully we lose mostly fat. When in deficit, I eat 1400-1600 calories and rarely get in 100g protein, but try. Right now I am on vacation and eating 2200-2400 as maintenance…
