Very inspiring. This is the type of posts this page has been missing. This is motivating and actually about your weight loss journey. We all need to hear this and set ourselves up for success. Thank you, Mary.

We are stopping through Tunisia next April. I'm looking forward to hearing how you enjoy it!
Thanks! Second Summer. I will get on that train. Living to learn.
Good morning Amy and Menuers,
Wow Amy your monolog on the weight training is verbatim the conversation in my head about exercise every day. We know we want to do it, we know we have to do it. What in our heads makes it easy not to do it? It is an ongoing fight. However, once we get to doing it, we don't want to stop doing it and find time no matter what. It just those first 2 weeks then we are hooked. With that said someone may have been on the treadmill for 1/2-hour last night!! Look at me adulting! Unfortunately, probably not today. I got to go to Aldi at lunch, Walk the dog afterwork, be at moms by 6 to take her to bowling, then get back to my salon at Moms house because my hairdresser is coming for my every 7-week cut and color. After that I need to eat dinner, and I want to put a spaghetti squash recipe in the crockpot for dinner tomorrow. But I got one day in so you never know I might be motivated to get it in before bed.
QOTD: I am going to say 2021. That is when I was doing all the running and hit my lowest weight since childhood.
Accountability: To much grazing.
TSS: 6 years 10-months 4-days 168 Lowest (129.4)
B: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
MS: Chobani zero sugar strawberry Greek yogurt, apples
CB: Coffee with SF Coffee-mate pumpkin spice creamer
L: Arroz con pollo (a frozen meal)
D: bunless cheeseburger and butternut squash
Exercise: Dog walking
Water and Vitamins: On track. I take a Bariatric Advantage Ultra multi w/iron I use bariatric advantage Calcium chews and 500mg of Magnesium. I also use MiraLAX and fiber in my first coffee of the day.
Have a great day my friends.
Brightest blessings
Chrissy

I'm so happy I have the hybrid schedule now! Best of both worlds:)

Good Morning! I'm at my desk and somehow feel like I've forgotten everything that seemed so urgent on Friday. 3 day weekends are good for that.
QOTD: I couldn't possibly choose. I have had lots of wonderful years I would love to revisit. But 2017 was a great one. I was at my lowest post op weight and just moved in with Grim :) I know it's probably controversial but 2020 was pretty great too. I had never worked from home before and it was glorious to have so many extra hours in the day.
Accountability: I had 2 cookies in Maine.
- protein coffee & a few bites of leftover cheeseburger
- egg white egg bite
- babybel cheese & apple slices
- 1oz. beef short ribs & broccolini
"at your best" - hmmm. In that case, I guess 50s. I didn't have WLS until I was 55, but I was pretty active even before that. Swam laps or did water aerobics most days of the week; ate nutritiously (albeit too much). Earlier decades - no. I was either pretty (or very) obese (late 30s and all of 40s) - smoked throughout my 20s up to mid-30s, and wasn't too active in either decade. I did say above I've been "happiest" in my 50s and 60s...and that's true. But with "best", I guess 50s - esp the last half (after my WLS). I've slacked off a bit the last couple of years.
That's a bummer! I want to try some pumpkin flavored ones soon.
