Strange - my pen is somehow programmed so won't do more than the prescribed amount. It'll do less though.

Requesting the Rain Dancers. Thought I was already in but apparently missed the boat. Please redo me??

Going to get going with startup. Time passes fast.

Planning to check in daily after lunch for accuracy. Had difficulty last time remembering to keep up.

I weigh daily.

Emotional - I have to keep occupied, otherwise I am looking for something to eat. I going to aim for focus and planning my at home time.

Gym weekdays before work (more swimming than machines) Walk weekdays at lunch weekends walk the dog

Following a high protein, high fiber plan. Back to work and away from home keeps me from reaching.

physical: 45 min exercise prior to work; walk during lunch food : preplan and prep on sun - prioritize fiber and protein 1200 cal/d - log daily environment - remove (donate or trash) 5 items daily, weekly clear desktop and filing bed by 8 pm at least a jug of water daily

My goals are similar to those above - reduce clutter, increase activity, hydrate, calories 4 loss. My dh retired last week and what an adjustment. I plan to retire next summer, numerous health issues. Have noticed it's harder to stay focused, to let go of anything, and need to make changes. I want an organized life.

Old or newer format - I liked them both as really want to visit those places IRL and the challenges serve as a goal to keep in mind. Each week goes by so quickly that it's often difficult to add anything. This session was difficult for me due to multiple family issues. But I like having the different weekly challenges as…

Could I join in? 63 here and working on weight loss for years. Multiple health issues which make it more difficult. This looks supportive and interesting.

@gisele2015 Regarding your black plastic article - that is news to me - wondering about all my black p lastic utensils? have had them a long time and no clue if they contain or not. The thought of those types of chemicals leaching into my food though, ack. Going to discard and look for something else to use. I got rid of…

Thank you @_breathe_ !! Success thanks to you!

@Texasstitcher Wondering if I am still on raindancers? Saw that invitations went out but nothing new is in my messages mail - is there somewhere else to check?

Noticing that when I go to some other group pages, the most recent pages' discussions and posts don't populate. There's only an empty box. Anyone else experiencing this or know if it's a glitch or there's something I should do?

I weigh daily. Measured today.

Mindless Have the habit of rapid eating so by the time a feeling of fullness comes along a lot has been consumed. I'm going to drink my water first. Take my flaxseed early and daily. Slow down and put down the spoon between bites. Not eat while at computer. When thinking of food, instead look for 5 things to pass on or…

I am here please.

Even though I can feel the muscles in my arms, when looking in the mirror they look like flabby granny arms. Tired of hearing my h say "just get rid of those old clothes, you're never gonna fit in them again".
