@kandi3570 – nice loss this week! Amazing step totals as well – I am happy for you that you can go to the Y and going with your daughter is an added benefit. We are finally back in school here and I know students and parents are much happier. Good luck on your plan and reaching your goal. Great week, congrats!…

It was 127 Saturday and now this morning 128.4. Oh well, I will keep at it! Hope to be back…

OK folks, the weekend is here. We can sit on the sofa and watch mindless TV or we can get up and follow our plan for activity (walk, ride a bike, exercise, whatever). Today is your day, make it a good one or not, the choice is yours. CHOOSE WISELY!!!!

Good morning all, wishing everyone a great weekend. It has rained here in NC all week and I am ready to see the SUN! All walking has been inside! I am still drinking lots of water (juice glass trick has really helped). While my coffee is brewing (about 10 minutes) I have been doing some arm exercises with 3 pound weights.…

TODAY IS FRIDAY---- Stick with your plan this weekend; wise food choices, hydration, exercise, and definitely don't forget to do something for your MENTAL health. KEEP ON KEEPING ON.............................. ]

My water trick is still working (small juice class at designated times). I even added a water app to my phone to remind me. I don't really like the app I chose so if anyone has a recommendation let me know. I was called by our county office to see if I would start back substitute teaching. I went to my school this week to…

It sounds like you have a great plan for February! Congrats on the loss this week.

@minstrelofsarcasm Your exercise is amazing! Congrats on becoming the "go to" person in your spin class. I am sure that you will keep a close eye on the slight gain. I go up and down while doing diet and exercise that should have me losing. I am really thinking about adding calories. I would appreciate your scientific…

You are so right, don't stress. You know you are doing what you can with diet and exercise.

@podperson1 Test if your scale is accurate by finding an item with an exact weight, for example, a 10-pound free weight. If the scale registers anything other than 10 pounds, it needs to be calibrated or replaced. Many digital scales have a calibration mechanism that may need to be reset, so check for that as well. I hope…

I Good idea to wait a day, especially after a big breakfast. I did well yesterday, yet the scales showed a .4 gain today, Go figure :/ I am going to use your philosophy, SCALES LIE.

THINK OF THIS PICTURE FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS WHEN YOU ARE TEMPTED TO EAT SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD NOT EAT! :D

@melaniescott and @minstrelofsarcasm I sure wish I could send y'all some of my blueberries. I have about 5 gallons in the freezer from last year's crop. I made a blueberry pancake one day last week and it was so good. I also like to eat them frozen, kind of like a little round popsicle.

@CassieGetsFit2013 Hang in there, February is a new month. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, the new Fitbit Versa may give you just the incentive that you need.

@tryingagain5 Congrats on your loss! Love seeing the scales go in the right direction.

I have a friend that diets Monday through Friday but eats whatever she wants on the weekend. It seemed to work for her but I know it would never work for me. I try to eat only when hungry but still make wise decisions.

@mwlaniescott - that cheesecake does sound sweet! :) but also yummy. My husband loves cheesecake and I haven't made one in a long time. Thanks for the idea, I may make one for Valentine's Day. <3

https://mrsmalin.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/127.jpg I DID IT!!!! I weighed 127 this morning, my magic number. I hovered around 127 for several years then Covid hit. I did great through October. I was a bit depressed during Thanksgiving and Christmas and ate like a field hand (southern reference). I will do my best in 2021…

@goingape - got a good chuckle from this, yep we all live with Monday brain. :) <3

@jedaschultz - Looks like you are holding pretty steady. @goingape - this can't be your previous weight from last week. It must be a typo or previous from another week. Either way, hang in there!

@RoseyandReady We just turned our calendar to new page giving us all a fresh new start. Go for it, you can do it!

FEBRUARY can be YOUR month. Will it? WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER -- Commit to be FIT!

Hey y’all, I am Debbie from Wilson, North Carolina. I am 68 years old, married to Larry for almost 46 years. No children but we have 5 nieces and a nephew and grand nieces and nephews. I am a retired teacher and was doing a lot of substitute teaching and many interim positions. I worked about every day until Covid. I live…

@minstrelofsarcasm - I love your story and your February goals. The poster was spot on, it sure speaks to me. Every day is a new challenge as well as a new opportunity. Consistency is the KEY to unlock the door to good health. @Zumba_Luvah- sounds like you have a goal set and I am pulling for your success! @dbrinkmeyer –…

@melaniescott Congratulations on becoming our team captain, you will be great and I am looking forward to having you and @ minstrelofsarcasm leading us along. @minstrelofsarcasm Love the picture. I would go to the mall’s health food store to weigh with a friend. She started by removing her shoes, her sweater or jacket, her…

MESSAGE FROM PAM @sleepymom5 Hi Debbie, Do you mind updating the team again? My Brother in law passed away on Monday. The funeral is this coming Monday. I will be back sometime mid week. I will be on the cheer squad for team WNM but for the Sole Mates I will do 6,500 steps and 60min strength/10 days. I think I will be off…

@mxlaw90 The skating and time with your son sure looks like a fun way to exercise! @ljdanny - nice loss, congrats! Sorry to hear you have had a bad week, prayers! @minstrelofsarcasm - looks like you are doing GREAT. Figuring out what works for you is key to success. @KUMEcycling - and Bob was never to be found again!…

@melaniedscott Never heard anyone use the term slug for a description. LOVE it. It is so appropriate some days, I call them my PJ days. Still in pj at 4PM This is one I have to remember! :) :)
