Going down! You've got this Melissa; have a lovely weekend! 💛 

Hanging close to that bottom line! 

Thank you Tom and Shir. ❤️ I need to get the scale to move down again. I'll fix it in time!  

Nice drop good job 

Movin the right direction Melissa! ! 

Thanks, guys! I'm not quite where I want to be, but I'm holding on. ❤️ 

Melissatwa - are you having trouble sleeping? If so, I agree with Chrisw77 that sleep is an essential component of weight loss. A move down is always to be celebrated! 

I agree with Chris, for once, as he would say. That’s funny because I don’t ever remember disagreeing with him, perhaps he is the one disagreeing with me?! 🤪 Anyhow, you look fabulous in your pictures. I too wonder why you’re so fixated on a number? Or it seems you are. And nothing wrong with wanting to keep a range really. Just wish you were not always so down on yourself but could see yourself like we do, one gorgeous, fit and strong woman. AND not just physically!! 🥰👍🏻💪🏻❤️ 

Chris, thanks, dear! I am trying hard to make sure I'm getting sleep. Depending on the comings and goingings of my young adult gang, I'm sometimes can't seem to sleep until I know they are all safe, but I'm managing. I do wake up pretty early these days no matter what, but I don't think sleep is my worst problem. Stresssssss... And with the weather getting ugly I am not putting many miles on these feet and I just don't feel much like lifting. I'm lifting just as heavy... Well more than when the avatar picture was taken, but I'm just not working out as often. I feel so weary.. I need to cut the calories to match my reduced activity. That is just the facts. I'm not beating myself up. I'm just tired! 😁  

Good job Melissa. I hope you have a great day today. There are thing that pull us in different directions and we just have to find the balance in all of it 

Thank you, Carol. 💓 I'm sleeping OK. Mostly I've just got a lot happening on nearly every front that is causing a tremendous amount of heartache and strain. So, I am struggling a bit to maintain my goals. I'm hanging in there, and I will continue the good fight! 😁  

Wifey, you are so kind and sweet. 💕 I guess it is habit to always fear failure in the weight department. For the first time in my life I have felt satisfied with were I am and the fitness level I achieved. I don't want to slip... It is hard to see the "slipping" coupled with the other worries in life. But, I realize it is life and we all face challenges. I'm trying to to fixate on a number, and that is a hit why I haven't been recording daily. I just need a little breathing space. And besides that, Chris says u can repair any damage I do! I can do it! 😁  

Thank you, liv! 💖 Yes, that is what I am trying to do. We can focus on different things at different times, but if we are trying to hold up too many things we'll fall and something is going to break. Thank you guys for helping me be more stable! 😁 Love you all! ❤️  

That's the way, Melissa! ⭐👏 

I know life is tough for you right now as it is for many, including myself. I put all my stress and negative feelings into pumping weights, and cleaning. It does wonders. If I skipped workouts or didn’t record, that would give me more stress. LOL I’m sure you will be ok Melissa. And if there’s ever a struggle, I’m always just a message or email away...or a zoom call. You’re next on my list to chat whenever you’re up too it. 🥰🥰 

Agreed! 🤣🤣🤣 

Thank you, wifey! We can keep in touch! Chris, let's go for a socially distant, mask wearing, 20 mile walk!!! You game?! That will fix our weight woes.  

Thank you, Lonnie!! 💙💙💙 

I'm just happy I weigh less than you. That should be my real goal! "Stay thinner than Chris at all cost!" 😁 We absolutely will not talk about muscle mass or how tall you are. It is all about weight right now!🙄👌😂 

So long as I get her beautiful face and perfect smile!! 😀
