Sheesh, hope you had a great mystery date with your hubby. What did you end up doing? Have a great time with your granddaughters, too :) Great stepping, everyone. I have feet issues and walking 10,000 steps each day causes issues for me after a while but I haven't given up on trying to get there yet. I'm working up to it…

Kelly, good for you for making time to get your steps in this morning while you can. I get up early to exercise before work, too but have to admit that the last 2 mornings, I had other things to do so didn't get my exercises done until nearly bedtime. I'm worn out by then and mornings work so much better for me. Sheesh,…

should have weighed in yesterday when I was 179.8, LOL... but still a loss: Orig W 198, Restart wt 188 LW 182.2 Todays weight: 180.2! Yeah! 2 lbs closer to goal! and I met my loss goals for this month already so it's all bonus from here :)

LOL, Lois :) Gotta stay with the plan... Kelly, great loss this week! Good to have you back :) I just got home and need to fix supper and do some exercise before falling into bed so keeping this short, but at least I'm here :) My weigh in is tomorrow and I'm posting a loss- I just don't know how much of a loss it will be…

Gee, Sarah, scary to come home to the open garage door :o Glad everything seemed okay, though. And there's always the treadmill on those evenings you can't get out to walk ;) :) Not much time for chatter this morning. Lunch is packed but I still need to do my exercises and don't have much time.. have a good day, all~ :)

I can totally understand that and it's okay where ever you want to log in, but it's really nice to have you back posting again :) Logging at the end of the day for me is tough, as I forget some of the things I might have eaten. Logging during the day is totally impossible on work days so my answer to that is to log…

Hey Kelly!! SOOOO good to see you again! :) Life did a sucker punch to me and I laid low for a few months myself, totally understand but it is good to have you back again. I find I need a balance of both activity and diet to make this work. Hope you can find your balance and get back to where your healthy point is :) I've…

sorry that your plans were changed due to a trip to the ER but so glad it wasn't for one of you :) Hope your friend will be okay and you'll make it back to the fair. Congrats on your smart choice last night... now for some planning ahead :) I have spent a good bit of the day cooking and prepping foods for next week but…

thanks, Lois, that was sweet :) Have a good time at your friend's birthday party and good luck with the food plans when you get back home. Sounds like you are planning for success :)

LOL, Lois :) Yes, when I looked at the scale today, I got a very pleasant surprise. Starting wt: 198 Restart wt: 188.8 LW: 185.2 TW: 182.2!! :blush: Work has been a bear and all my spare time has been split between logging, exercising and sleeping so I can do it all over again the next day. But right now, it's not beating…

Sarah, it's 7:30 pm and I've been home for about 10 min. I'm beat and have put in barely over 3000 steps. Some days are just really tough to get the intentional exercise. Good thing I got up early and did it while I was still fresh. I'm ready for bed ... though I haven't had supper yet. And on days like this, I really…

well, I found you this morning and we'll see if I can find you again later. Not much time but I wanted to let you all know I found you :) Sarah, I HAVE to do make ahead meals in order to eat smart with the work schedule I have. I leave the house by 7:15 and don't get home until between 6:30-7p most nights. Then I have to…

Sounds like a lot of fun to have hubby retired and able to spend time with you- almost like courting all over again, only you know each other better and don't really need to impress anymore, LOL. Hope it will always be this nice for the two of you :) The weather was glorious today and I hosed out the chicken area, filled…

well, BL only lasted one hour tonight instead of the 2 hrs I expected. That allows me just a little bit more time before I fall into bed but I still have laundry to put on hangers and dishes to wash. Long week and I am soooo ready for a weekend. Last week 187.2, this week = 186.2 :) one day at a time, one week at a time...…

Happy birthday Sheesh :) Happy anniversary Lois :) Have fun with your friends this evening and good to hear you're healing well and getting the brace off soon. Hello to you, Sarah... Sorry to have been missing for so long and not to be able to give a more definite "I'm back" post but it's been a really tough year both at…

Lois, sorry to hear the losses you have been dealing with, you too, Sarah. Sad when you lose a family member, no matter what the circumstances. Things are no better over here... just going one day at a time and trying to put one foot in front of the other. Nice to have some garden time this weekend as it does make me feel…

it's Wed and it's bedtime but I'm trying to stay with it so here I am. Weight is up 1 lb (185 today) which I find very unfair but such is life. Adding more activity so we shall see how it goes. Lois, thanks for the prayers... Sheesh, have a great time with the family and grandkids Sarah, sorry about the car mishap. Bummer…

well, it's Wed, so I guess I should check in. Life has been totally overwhelming and I'm just trying to put one foot in front of the other. Lois, 3 lbs in a week is great. Sarah, sorry to hear your eye is bothering you. Sorry not to respond to other things but really haven't had time to go thru the threads. Will keep it…

I'm here... don't know when my last weigh in was but I know I missed at least one. Sorry. Life and work have been pretty much all consuming, have a lot of personal stresses going on right now and just haven't been able to make it to posting. Not getting in exercise and not getting my foods logged. I know I need to do…

Well, here I am, late again but not giving up :) Frustrating to see my weight up this week but think it's a sodium issue which I need to watch a bit more closely. Tried getting my steps up and managed it for a few days anyway :) Better than not trying at all. I'm hoping to eventually claim more time during the week for…

a little late but at least I am here :) Work has been pretty time consuming and they added an hour meeting at the end of each day which made it really hard to have any logging/posting time. I don't know what my step average is this week and not going to take the time to figure it out since it's either do that or do this…

sorry to have dropped off the radar and posting. It's been crazy on my end, both with work and personal stuff... in short, grandsons have been moved out of state... far out of state and I have significant concerns about issues on that front. They sent their chickens home with me (would rather have taken the grandsons!) and…

oh my... where to begin? Went to Grandbabyland, computer got hit by a virus so I was offline for almost 2 weeks, son and his wife decided to move so went back over to GBL, took the grandsons to Disney world, brought their chickens home, built a chicken coop/exercise run, got a new computer set up and kept up my work…

Well, congrats on those losses :) Congrats to those who maintained (and Sarah, a little up or down like you're doing can be called another week of maintenance I think). I had a pot luck at work on Thurs and woke up 5 lbs heavier then next morning (177 to 182 overnight). Uggh. I lost some of it over the weekend only to have…

wow, great activity and great weigh down this week :) Congrats :) Just be careful not to overwork those knees of yours... geesh,LOL. I've had a good week, too, but I worked hard for it the last 2 wks. We have a pot luck at work Thurs which I am a bit nervous about but will do what I can to negate the calories and then I'm…

LOL, all it takes is one slacking off day and everyone's ready to roll right over you on that leaderboard. :) It's happened to me more times than I can count but all it will take is a few good days on your end or waiting until that slack day falls off and you'll be right back up there. I kinda figured you slacked off so I…

Looks like we all have been struggling with one thing or another. I was down this weekend with tendonitis of my elbow and though it is MUCH better today, there are still positions that let me know it is not totally healed. I've been good with my food though, and continued with my exercises to bring me to a total weekly…

I generally like to do my weigh in on Wed, after my Last Chance Workout but since the show is coming to an end and I got my fitbit report last night, I'll go ahead with it today :) SW with fitbit:184.3 LW: 181.2 TW: 179.0 YEAH!! IT'S ABOUT TIME!! mini goal weight: 165.8 (that's a 10% loss from the starting fitbit weight)…

Andrea, you posted while I was still typing :) So sorry to hear you are sick... try to eat smart so you don't end up back in the hospital again. Uggh. The problem with quilting/sewing is that it can easily eat up a weekend/week and not allow for any activity. I have to give myself a time limit or get my exercises in before…

I spent too much time quilting this afternoon so am running short on time before falling into bed. Got my steps in, evaluated how things have gone this week while changing my strategies. Disappointed in the lack of progress compared to all the effort but we'll see how it goes over the next month. Sarah, I'm glad the…
