Much appreciated😊 I, too, hope all is well with @RavenStCloud The roller coaster ride I'm on is making me dizzy! ⬆️ , ⬇️, ⬆️, ⬇️ and so it goes. This month I'm working for way more…

I don't know if anyone is checking in here but I thought I'd share something just in case. I'm not promoting Weight Watchers, but there's a special for $10 a month for the next 10 months that expires tonight at midnight if you'd been considering it. I found out about it yesterday and thought I'd give it a try since my…

@KeriA Congratulations!!! You did it! Lots of hard work and determination over a prolonged period of time will give us the results we're looking for. You're proof of that today. Old friends are the best...well, new friends are pretty good, too ;)

@KeriA I'm rooting for you! I love walking in the rain❤️ Don't forget your umbrella.

I mentioned before that I need to fit into a shirt for my granddaughter's softball games in a few months. I'm a little embarrassed that I actually had decided to buy a bigger shirt instead of working my butt off to get into the one I have. If I lose 10 pounds and do lots of weights workouts it should be fine by May for…

Just popping in to say hi to everyone after rereading all of the posts. Yesterday I achieved my personal record. I had 12/12 active step hours on my Fitbit. Woohoo!! I'm on track to make it happen again today. 8/12 so far which is my goal. I have been thinking about my softball shirt. The realistic thing is that I will not…

Hi! OK. We're half-way through the month and I've lost the traction I had going in January. No excuses, but I'm struggling with everything right now. I read the news every day because it's important to be informed, but feeling helpless will not help me feel motivated. So I'm going to try to limit my exposure and I will do…

Dec.3- 236.3 (ave. 236.2) Jan. 1- 233.4 (ave. 234) Feb. 1 - 231.0 (ave. 230.6) Feb. goal - 226 2025 goal - 199 Hi! and Happy February!! I'm so glad to be here, and I want to thank @RavenStCloud for getting this up and running again. I'm feeling very focused and am excited about all the good things that could happen this…

The scale is starting to go down after that crazy 7 pound gain in one week. My feet are skinny again after being super swollen for about three days. I was getting worried. I've lost 3 and 1/2 of that gain but have a ways to go to get rid of the high sugar intake effects. I have learned my lesson! I will take pictures of my…

My scale is acting up so I could blame it for my backslide, but I won't. My feet have been swollen for 2 days now so I know that's contributed to the (as of today) 7 pounds in a week gain. I never used to have that problem...ever! It's happened a few times in the past year after mega amounts of sugar so I'm just going to…

Hi! I'm feeling defeated this week. The tons of goodies we got over the weekend did a number on me. My husband decided to bring ice cream into the house again and that was another major battle...in which I was not the winner. I am back at my highest pandemic weight, 5-6 pounds up this week. Sugar is my biggest enemy other…

Well, I made it through Christmas pretty well unscathed, but then on Saturday we met with my in-laws and got a huge yummy bag of goodies. Got home and there was a box - yes, a box! - full of breads, sauce for the bread, and candies. UGH! So good, but so bad!! I spend most of my days in my sewing/office/workout room aka my…

Hello 2025! I'm really excited to be starting a new year. I am hopeful that all of the mental/emotional work I've done over the past year has led me to a place where I'll be able to move ahead physically this year. I've consistently been stuck in the 222-235ish range for decades but I think this is the year it will change.…

🥳 Happy New Year 🎆 I am excited about starting a fresh calendar later today! Wishing you all all the best in 2025!!!

Happy December! I'm getting a late start. I had lots of fun company over the weekend and took yesterday off to recover! It was not good foodwise and I gained a few pounds but that should go away this week and I will start working my way back down. All but my Texas kids/grands come for the holidays and we have a ridiculous…

@lisakatz2 That is amazing!!! You're living proof that consistent hard work is the answer to meeting goals. I think if you keep working out, the measurements will change over time so just enjoy how good it feels to be where you are right now. Congrats on your progress:)

I'm not even going to start with my goals because things have been so out of whack lately. It's been raining all day <3 and I was able to get out and sweep before the light drizzle turned into hours of rainfall. I keep forgetting my posture exercises in the morning but usually remember to get them in later. Some habits are…
