@_JoyCastro History shows up repeatedly in every context: appeasement never works.

@mxmcadam Actually that’s more true with the husband than the kids.

@lisambayer @mcclan Noom buddies—how’s it going? I’m down 19 pounds! Officially done with that COVID 19. Continuing to lose even on maintenance. Now if the real COVID19 would melt away.

@lisambayer @mcclan Unfortunately my BP has always been high. I’m on two meds. I’m thrilled when it’s 127/85.

[Donna Shear @donnashear]

@lisambayer @mcclan How is Noom going? Officially hit 15 pounds down today!

[Donna Shear @donnashear]

@mcclan @lisambayer Congrats! After 16 weeks I’m down 16 pounds. Time to transition to maintenance.

@mobabb3700 @lisambayer @mcclan I was thinking that in my 12 years at UNP I’ve probably lost 100 lbs—keep losing the same ten pounds over and over

@mcclan @jessicapellien @scantilyglad @lisambayer @noom I want to know why some of my favorite foods are red. Like Skinny Pop popcorn. I thought it made you skinny. Maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong.

[Donna Shear @donnashear]

@noom Ok, I didn’t know Noom was on this Twitter thread. I’m just bitching to my girlfriends.

[Donna Shear @donnashear]

@scantilyglad @lisambayer @jessicapellien @mcclan @noom I’ve had a few. Must say though, I hate the platitudes more than the plateaus.
