Hi raven! Welcome to the August thread :)

Somehow I miraculously lost a pound in 24 hours. Rather doubt it, but in these rare moments where my scale is being kind, I'LL TAKE IT!

Thanks again Rennie!

Thanks for kicking off another thread, Rennie. :wave: Hi everyone, hope summer is going well for you all :) I’m keeping my goal from last month since I didn’t quite get there ;)

SW: 277.6
CW: 277.6
GW: 268

8/1: 277.6

Thanks for all of the thank you's :hug:

Well I gained last month and I am totally not surprised. I am however down 2lbs since the 30th so that's a plus ... but I'm sure it's water weight. I am hoping to get back into the 170's this month and stay there. Have any of you tried the ilovethisdiet.com frozen food diet? or any frozen food diet? Just curious as to how you chose your frozen meals since all them have a ton of sodium. I did a frozen meal for dinner and a salad back in 2010 when I first started and it worked. For breakfast I had a meal that I prepared and I think I did a slim fast shake as my snacks, lunch was some kind of wrap I think. I wish I could find all of my old journals. I hand wrote everything back then.

Good August 1st everyone! Thank you rennie once again for starting this thread, filled with inspirational stories. Have a successful month everyone!

Welcome to the group.

Hi everyone, let's do this.:carrot::carrot:

I have my last physio appointment this morning (insurance coverage is done). While I know my tendon will never be 100% healed, I'm content with the fact that I can walk again, and I'll keep doing the exercises that were prescribed to help prevent flare ups. Other than that, I'm happy to report that I have been active every single day this week, no excuses made. For example, yesterday I finished work really late but right after supper, David and I got out and walked for 35 minutes. This morning I did some pilates and abs exercises. Funny to say but I hate doing exercises on the floor, so I will not be doing those two workouts anymore.

Wishing everyone a great day!
