Hey Shape Shifters - I love this group but am feeling sad without my newsfeed. I looked forward to a few posters in particular each day who are now gone. Anyway, I'm dropping out but will come back now and then to see how everyone is doing in the group. :+1: Good luck everyone.

Itadakimasu7 PW: 183.6 CW: 187.5 I'm unsure I'm going to stick with MFP, they finally tore down my newsfeed.

@pupowl -- Maybe balance it to where I've lost a pound or something? I knew it would skew that crazy, sorry. My Japan weight loss trend has stopped and is trying to reverse now ;-P If you put me down for a modest loss, I'm not going to be upset, it's not fair to skew it. Assign me anything, I'm cool :+1:

Weigh in June 4 Tuesday Itadakimasu7 PW back in April before vacation: 198.8 CW (Starting Weight) now that I'm back home: 183.6 :+1: I went to Japan. Long and short of it is, I really think we're all being poisoned for profit in the US. No streets and aisles full of sick people.

<3 Welcome new members! <3 I have read all the introductions and posts but have been rushed on time, sorry for not personally greeting everyone! It's also nice to find out more about existing members!

Hey guys, I'm returning for June! I took May off, but during May I lost ten pounds so it would really skew the PW vs. CW stat and all that and not really be fair. Not sure how to post it. Well, it might all be packed back on by the time I weigh in and be a non-issue. :D Anyway, let's go team!

@Pupowl -- seriously cool snail there! Amazing photos as always, thanks so much for sharing them!

@Pupowl -- most of my Japanese went out of my brain as soon as they started talking to me. I mostly bowed and apologized ;-P I was glad I could read simple things and that I had studied the culture. In the park I found people caring for the local cat population. Cared for colonies were a sure bet in and around shrines. I…

Hello everyone, I've been gone for two weeks to Okinawa Japan. I took a few photos and put them in an album. Vacation photos on Imgur It was the first time I have been outside the country and my very first real vacation (I'm almost 50, lol). I lost ten pounds in Asia and my husband lost eight. I found out that Naha is a…

I've had a lot of breathing issues because of allergies. I had to get out today on my bike, I've missed cycling the trails! and I'm going to be traveling so biked up to the Veteran cemetery to talk to Dad and get his blessing. I think his ghost was too busy watching two workers attempt to power wash a fence by facing each…

@Cyncia85 -- I drink coconut water for electrolytes sometimes. Back when I was going to the gym the healthfood store was next door and I would buy a bottle for after a workout. I haven't had any in awhile, I might have to pick some up again :D I've been on a green drink powder with L-Threonine Magnesium added, has made me…

First of all, could I be excused for May? I'm going on vacation. I have a bad GI so I usually eat a lot less when I travel! But pretty sure I won't be in an area I can weigh in. I've been doing a 10K training program but with my joints it's a little too difficult at the moment, so I need to cross train more I think. I have…

A lot of my friends have migrated away or dropped off of MFP - could use some more pals. I post everyday.

@JenHul, I love conventions. I was filmed at one for a documentary called, 'Trekkies 2' a long time ago, lol.

@Tomsgal1985 -- Catch anything? :D :+1: @izzyred9400 -- I'm an artist and I really want to go to Greece now, I am obsessed with the colors! Here we have green and green, lol

Itadakimasu7 Weight Check In PW: 197.1 CW: 195 (water flux) @izzyred9400 -- I can't get over those colors in Greece, amaaaaazing, wow, so beautiful

My son asked me if I wanted to go to the beach and walk this morning, doing the step challenge this week so trying to get in some extra stepping! The tide was very far out so I was able to go into the shipwreck and take some photos. I wanted to find some pretty stones or shells but not much on the beach today. The Wreck of…

@Itadakimasu7 did you want to partner up again for the walking challenge? We can keep our team name as "Gallifrey Gals"? Let me know, if not that's ok :smile: [/quote] @JenHul Roger that, I've been a bit out of pocket lately, send me a message when / where to report steps and we'll do it! Sorry for a late response, if I'm…

Itadakimasu7 PW: 191.1 CW: 197.1 I had pizza last night for my anniversary and I suspect it's water and menopause.

If anyone sees anything strange during the eclipse, let your spooky UFO obsessed friend here know okay? I wish I could go see it, but my friends back home in Texas and Oklahoma are trying to cover it for me a bit. :-P Any tips for getting through a weight plateau? It doesn't seem to budge even with planned meals and…

I'm on a personal mission to cycle everyday and today I cycled all the way to the lake and back. (Oregon coast) I don't think my weight has budged at all, but I feel better and I've been super busy with gardening and yard work and creative projects. It feels good not to feel bad :+1:

@ Krysless2 -- Did he get sick in Cancun? Ever see the tv show, "Monsters Inside Me" usually starts with, "we had been on vacation and shortly after symptoms began..." Definitely get him checked for parasites, there are a few that can cause the vomiting / GI issues. Usually in Mexico people get got with ice, they will…

Itadakimasu7 PW: 191.4 CW: 191.5 Ugh, I've been feeling really insecure lately about my weight / appearance. I'm going through menopause and my skin is all dry and I wake up puffy and I have cellulite for days. :(

@izzyred9400 -- I love the bunnny!

Hi! I can't believe another month has passed by so quickly again friends. Well, I feel like I repeat myself on the welcome posts, but I'm a 49 year old eccentric living in the Pacific Northwest / Oregon Coast. I collect Lucky Cats (cat lover!) and have been learning Japanese. I'm visiting Okinawa in May! Maybe some of my…

@Pupowl --I feel ya girl, hang in there ((hugs))

@cookiecrumbles9 - It's tough with newborns. If there is anyway you can get a break for yourself and have fun, a dance class, a book club, whatever for a little bit of time each week it might help. It really helped me, I was very heavy when I had my son but luckily lived near a gym and I think the break everyday for 20-30…

Weigh In Itakamimasu7 PW: 188.4 CW: 191.1 I'm being a struggler lately. ;-P My thyroid is low, I'm going through menopause and I am always hungry and snacking. Hmm. I hope to get this under control this week. I'm outgrowing my bigger garments and getting some wild stretch marks.

@tatilove1988 -- oi' that sounds like it's wrecking your week, dang - hope you feel better soon! Sending you the good vibes!
