Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good month and a good Thanksgiving (if you celebrate it). My eating train is off the tracks, but I hope to have it under control before we reach the washed-out bridge, lol. I plan on doing a Beck Trek through my Beck Diet book on cognitive therapy--it will help to have a reminder each day of…

Hi all--I'm going to duck out of next month to work on some personal issues. I understand I'll need to re-join when I return. Please take care and stay safe out there. Keep on rockin' towards your goals!

Name: Neon_Ninja Weigh In: Wednesday PW: 173.0 CW: 178.2 Oof, I've been struggling with something I would guess is some minor depression. No motivation for much of anything. It'll get better, just have to ride out the storm for a bit. Unfortunately, it shows up on the scale. :|

NAME: Neon_Ninja Weigh In Day: Wednesday PW: 173.8 lbs CW: 173.0 lbs Hiya, Slims! We rolled back home finally, after first visiting my mom in Ohio, then my mom-in-law in Iowa. A lot of traveling for the week and it's good to be in my own bed again, lol. Colors have popped here, and I'll try to get some photos up tomorrow.…

Name: Neon_Ninja Weigh In: Wednesday PW: 173.8 CW: 173.8 Not too bad despite the hectic week, as I thought I had gained a few pounds. We're off finally to visit our respective moms, one is 100 years old, and one is 90, lol. Will try to get onto the site with my phone but it's so old I can't get the MFP app :D--we'll see…

A quick drive-by. Trying not to watch the news--anyone else get depressed by it? Had a busy Sunday, painting a couple of kitchen walls, then clean-up. Sometimes the clean-up seems to take longer than the painting ;). Fall is here, finally. We're at 2000+ feet, so it has just started, although the leaves are off the trees…

Name: Neon_Ninja Weigh In: Wednesday PW: 172.4 CW: 173.8 @steffibabiie : Wowza, a playtpus! Have never seen one outside a zoo. Too cool. Nice NSV to fit into smaller clothes. Love your partner for the suport! @Katmary71 : Hope the pain clinic went okay. Your gas is 6 bucks a gallon? Holy cow! @sleepygirl79 : Fun name and…

@trooworld @broncobuddee Is anyone else having issues with pulling up the spreadsheets? I click on the links, but I get "Untitled" and a blank page. That goes for the tracker, too.

@badnoodle : Oh, that so cool! Great NSV! I have a hard time with pictures, too. Hence, the rabbit avatar, lol.

Great job on last week, Slims! You all rock! I'm Barb, I live in the mountains of North Carolina with Mr. Neon_Ninja and Nell, Pupster Extraordinaire. We all like to hike so it's nice to live here and we spend a lot of time on the Appalachian Trail. I also work a few days a week on a farm taking care of various…

Hello, @badnoodle ! I, too, love your name. Professionally weird sounds right up my alley, lol. Welcome and hope you have good time with the team :) . @trooworld : I'm so glad you had a good birthday! Happy belated! @Katmary71 : Happy belated to you, too. Not sure if I had said it before. You did great at Cheesecake…

@vegan4lyfe2012 : You have so much on your plate right now! I hope you can get some personal time to maybe relax a bit, to refocus and recharge. Super glad the rock painting hit at the right time--sometimes it just works out that way. Sending out virtual hugs and all the good vibes I can muster. <3 <3

@AJV2688 @eagree : Welcome to you both!! @megnolia82 : Thanks--I'm doing much better now. Glad you're feeling better, too. Thanks for the butt kick, lol. @AmbersWay : Hope you got some personal time. Families can be tough for sure. You handled it great, tho, for walking instead of blowing up! <3 Not sure I would have as…

Way to go Slims! We rocked Week 3! @trooworld : Omigosh, love your Bob and the color! Your zoo pics are fantastic. I've always had a thing for giraffes. I think they can be really graceful and in a tall animal that's hard to do. Plus, they're just so weird with the long tongues, and coat patterns. I think I read where a…

Super congrats! Love your smile! <3

@AmbersWay : Hope you had a good lunch. Italian sounds pretty divine. Congrats on the weight, too. @megnolia82 : YAY for those NSVs--you are rockin' it! @865jessica : Awesome job on the walk. So happy about your medical results, I can imaine it's a load off your mind when you got them back. @trooworld : Hope the headache…

USER NAME: Neon_Ninja WEIGH-IN DAY: Wednesday PW: 175.2 CW: 175.0 Welp, it's not much of a loss this week, but in all fairness, I've been eating like it's my last days on earth. :D So, I'll take it. Worked at the farm today and got to lift hay bales--it's a good ST workout but I'm kind of bushed now. We drive to Ohio soon…

@865jessica : That stinks! I'm glad she gave you her e-mail, though, it was good of her to follow-thru on her clients. Hope it works out for you. @steffibabiie : Good news about your fitness area! @Katmary71 : Have fun in the greenhouse! Does anyone follow "Runs For Cookies"? She's a blogger who has gone through the weight…

NAME: Neon_Ninja WEIGH-IN DAY: Wednesday PW: 176.4 CW: 175.2 I was all over the place this week as far as eating. I think I'm getting stressed because my husband is getting stressed for our family visits coming up in late September and October. Mine first then his, lol. Ah, family. Gotta love' em, right? Right? :D…

Your goat pic for the day. Meet Jasper the G.O.A.T. goat of the farm. A goaticorn, if you will since he only has one horn. His mom Jane is the grey-colored one below. @trooworld : Glad you caught up with a little sleep at least. Hard to function well without it, that's for sure. I'm not sure you posted a picture, but…

I don't want to brag but I defended myself from a pretty serious donut attack this morning at the grocery. :p It was tough, but I saw it through...then a candy bar somehow got stuck in my basket and I had to pay for it. I think the donuts had worse nutritional counts, so I managed to come out ahead. Very little ahead, but…

Way to go Slims--on the amazing results for Week 1! Did a 5 mile hike this morning with the dog and husband. Then came home and promptly took a nap, lol. It's been a quiet semi-rainy Sunday, hope yours is going well. @micaroo4 : Way to turn it around, Mica! Love me some Chai, tho--it would be hard not to partake.…

@micaroo4 : Omigosh, I love Ryder! He has the same sweet face as Nell. I wonder if he's as vocal as ours--whenever she gets excited, like seeing someone come home, she barks, lol. They are some super smart dogs, that's for sure. What a cutie! Thanks for posting him!

@trooworld : Gorgeous views! I can bet you love the weather there. Awwww, Daisy and Violet are adorable! Such cuties and I love their outfits. @steffibabiie : Simply awe-inspiring scenery where you live. Wow! And I'm with Jennifer, if you have a good tabouleh recipe, can you share? @Cornanda and @tammymccrady6278 : Hi…

MFP USER NAME: Neon_Ninja WEIGH-IN DAY: Wednesday PW: 179.6 CW: 176.4 Oof, had a headache all morning, not sure if it's caffeine related or not--I ran out of coffee so didn't have any today. Hope you all are doing well! I lost the thread of who asked about my dog Nell, she's half German Shepherd and half Carolina…

The day went pretty swell--altho a mare got a minor cut from a fencing panel--the 2 new folks (who were volunteers) never showed up, lol. Ah, well. Hope they do well wherever they go and find something they like to do. @865jessica : Hope you feel better soon! @Katmary71 : Ugh, hopefully the bladder infx is easing up some.…

Good morning, Rockstars! Getting prepared to head into work. I work a few times a week at a farm, mostly let animals in/out, feed, muck out stalls, grooming, that kind of thing. But today I have 2 new orientees. Yay. You wouldn't think there's a lot of stuff to think about in farm work (it's not rocket science), but it's…

@19shmoo69 : So sorry to see you go--hope you're doing okay. <3 @steffibabiie : Way to go! Awesome job on the weigh-in!

Hi all and happy Labor Day for those in the states. I remember way back when Labor Day spelled the start of school the very next day. And we watched at least a portion of the Jerry Lewis telethon (which turns out it might not have pleasant for the participants). The school year has already started here! Anyway, got out to…
