Thank you! I got a nice hike of 1.7mi in today, enjoying the weather!

Hi Karen - glad to see a familiar face in here! Hope you’ve been well! I pretty much started over but am really trying to stick with it. I know I won’t be perfect, but I’m ok with it. I usually weigh in on Mondays, so I will post my update from Monday (5/4/20). Name: Erin HW: 340 CW: 319.6 GW: 180ish

I’d love to join this group! I’d like to set my goal at 40 miles (I’m a total beginner!). 5/4: 1.1 mile

Hi Everyone! It’s been FOREVER since I’ve been in here and been a while since I’ve consistently used MFP also. Trying to get refocused now. With being home with the whole social distance thing, I have no excuses of not having enough time and all that. I hope to get active in the forums again, and this was one of my fave…

Sunday Share: I've been in a bad funk all week. I'm struggling to figure out what I want to do with my life job wise, whether I want to go back to school to become a teacher or if I want to leave education and use my degree I actually have. Instead of figuring it out, I've kinda just shut down and have spent my weekend…

Monday Check-In: Today was kinda a crazy day for me. I did NOT want to wake up for work this morning, I was way too comfy in bed. I must have known something was up, because the kids at school were pretty off today. One of my students who is ALWAYS happy, was crying off and on all day (I work with special needs high school…

@trinati2001 Congratulations on meeting that goal! Keep it going! @Nikion901 I hope your surgery went well! Don't stress about procrastinating, I think we all do it as humans, we just need to make sure we stay aware of it.

@Chieflrg Thanks! I will definitely look into some of those to try out!

@skinnyjeanzbound how's English Lit? One of my best friends from work is an English teacher. I am still a special ed para, this year I am working with the Young Adult Program (students with down syndrome and Autism). AFM, my plans for this weekend... well I went for a bike ride today at a lake nearby, tomorrow I have my…

@MermaidPrincessRach That sounds amazing to me! I had a beer tonight myself. I had a Sam Adams Maple Ale that I have been waiting to try out. Now I feel like sleeping after one drink... :|

Drinking a beer and watching the Celtics game.

Does anyone have some fun plans for this weekend? I have a 3 day weekend (had today off). I went out for a bike ride by one of our lakes, despite the crazy windy conditions we have today, but it was so nice to get outside and some fresh air! Won't be able to get many more outdoor workouts in, in the coming months with…

@campfirequeen1 Thanks! Looking to get to know everyone around here again too! @skinnyjeanzbound Thank you! Hope all has been well with you!

@Chieflrg What kind of yoga would you suggest for someone with RA? I've tried it a few times at my gym, but the classes all seemed to be the fast moving "power yoga" types and I was in more pain after doing that.

@peaceout_aly I'm new to this thread but just wanted to say I totally know your pain! I have RA too and have been having issues with the weather changes. I live in NH and our weather keeps flip flopping this fall from warm to cold, so my body doesn't know what it wants to do either.

I'm a size 24W in US, would like to be down to a 10. I can't remember even in my young being less than a 12/14

I'm definitely interested too!

Hi All! I've been in this thread off and on throughout the past two years, but haven't been active in here since March. It's been a rough year, and I kinda just stopped using MFP for a while all together, but have been back to tracking since September. Now I want to get active in the threads again! So just wanted to say a…

Wow I've always been looking for a post like this on here! I have been suffering from rheumatoid arthritis since I was 19, in 2002. I was a two sport athlete in college and my life has changed dramatically since I haven't been able to do as much. I've gained a ton of weight between the different medications, rounds of…

I could totally use a buddy to help stay motivated!

I'm in!

I'm late to joining the challenge but I've been keeping track of my miles so far. I'm going to go with 125 miles for the month, hopefully!

I'm a few states north, in NH!

@NK1112 Great job setting up a menu for the week. That's one of my biggest struggles too is pre planning for the week and then prepping snacks and what not. How is everyone's Monday going? I feel like I totally wasted today. I haven't really felt good the last few days and today is the worse, not sure if its the heat or…

@skinnyjeanzbound @Lauriek70 The bike ride went pretty good. She had me lead the way and I felt bad because i was actually going too fast for her a few times. I guess she hasn't been on her bike in years. We couldn't find the bike trail that my aunt told me to go to, but we still got a 7.2 mile ride in. It was pretty easy…

@skinnyjeanzbound I play in an adults sports league up here. I used to play something almost every night, but now I just play softball, basketball and flag football. Only softball is going on right now. I pretty much ruined my shoulder playing dodgeball in that league haha. @grandmakaye44 I hope you have safe travels to…

Good evening all. Hope everyone had a great Thursday! I got two pretty good walks in today, so I was happy with myself. Now I just need to get my nutrition back on point. I've been having some sleep issues lately, I just can't seem to fall asleep at night. Then I end up sleeping in too much. I was up pretty early today…

@skinnyjeanzbound that's great you've found a way to be more productive over the summer! I hate it, I always say I am going to do soooo much and yet I never do. A big part of it is I end up sleeping in a lot lol. I need to stop doing that, but its so hard not to. I'm so not a morning person. I am going to start trying to…

Thanks for all the welcome backs. Sounds like everyone has been busy around here lately. Congratulations to all who have hit goals or milestones recently. Sorry to those who have lost loved ones or been dealing with other life struggles recently. AFM - I had to head up north this morning to the state veteran's cemetery to…
