I didn't share this news but with a couple of my friends on here. Last Monday I was hospitalized with what my Cardiologist called Atrial Flutter. After my weight workout on Monday, my heart rate started racing for over three hours. Went to ER and they kept me over for a couple of days. Finally got HR down below 100 with heavy meds. Tons of testing and trying different meds has not improved, so no heavy workouts until they can figure this out.
Praying for good results, and please take it easy!1 -

Tracking. Yes
Calories. Yes
Exercise. Yes, aqua Zumba! My favorite class with a super dynamic teacher.
For the first ever, excepting when I was ill, I was under 1,000 calories so MFP gave me a lecture! Ha ha! They don’t have to worry, I won’t starve myself, just had too busy a day! Nice NSV though was I wasn’t hungry either or having cravings! Yeah!
Great NSV!0 -

Comments: Really need to focus on my workouts this week, yesterday I didn't focus, wore my singlet to workout in so I get used to wearing it, and I sortof liked it, but I do think it was a distraction so I need to stop letting things distract me and I need to spend more time focusing on what I'm doing.2 -
Happy Weigh In Day Tuesday:

Weigh-in Monday!
I already posted but it disappeared. Sorry if there is a double post later.
Username : Jaydoh120
Week : November week 2
PW : 248.2lb (112.6kg)
CW : 242.5lb (110kg)
My pattern is one week - big scale loss, the next week - big centimetre loss. Anyone else have this? It's weird.
Very happy with my progress so far. Looking forward to breaking 100kg (220lbs) and the next goal will be 92.5kg (202lb) which will take my bmi into the "overweight" category.
@Jaydoh120 Actually I think those are pretty normal, when you burn fat, water tends to take the place of the fat as a placeholder because your body thinks you'll fill it back up, eventually, if you're drinking enough water, it lets go of the water in the placeholder, a whoosh, if you will, and then once that happens, your body takes a little more time and shrinks after the water is gone. It's a process, and a very interesting one at that.
If it makes you feel any better, I too, am looking forward to the day that I fit into the overweight category and not obese, but sadly after losing 73 lbs, I'm still not there. BMI is an interesting number, it's not really based on anything other than height to weight so, I'm not overly concerned about that, I do want to go get a dexa scan to see how much body fat I have to lean muscle considering how hard I try to maintain and gain that. It's interesting because the only visible fat I really have is left in my belly, and I'm down 10.5 inches in my hips and 6.5 in my waist, so to see a MBI of 35 still is disheartening, but normal since my weight will always be a bit higher than what they suggest based on my height, since I'm only 4'10".
My best advice, don't let BMI be your only measure of success, especially if you weight train! If you have more than average amounts of muscle, your BMI will be higher since it's only a height to weight measurement!1 -

You have my prayers... I hope they can give you a reason for it.... often with lone cases of Afib like I had experienced in the past... there were no medical findings, could be stress, dehydration, fatigue, caffeine, insufficient nutrient of some sort, simple things like that can set you off too... and it's a very scary experience for sure.
I stopped drinking Diet Coke and Sucralose/artificial sugars after doing some research and finding an Afibbers database of people who posted their experiences. One young man had the same thing happen---he found that he had developed an intolerance to artificial sweeteners (he was a Diet Pepsi addict).... so I stopped drinking diet drinks and my Afib stopped (idk for sure if it was that, but I wanted to throw it out to you bc artificial sweeteners have been linked to all sorts of illness--even neurological issues). I still don't eat anything with artificial sweeteners--- stevia or monk fruit or the real thing.
(Sorry for the longwinded post)
Please take it easy Jim. Get well!

Calories: Yes, under, fasting day
Exercise: Yes, Strength training class and Arc Trainer
Comments: Struggled over the weekend--- trying to make this week count, but Friday will be a major cheat day (son's bday).
NSV: I'm really happy with where I am right now, I feel stronger even though I'm not making much weight loss progress.
Ashley, I really loved your post regarding goals @AB0215 !! That was a wonderful post... and you most certainly have attained so many milestones for yourself and continue to improve and reach more goals each week--- it's so inspiring to all! For a while now my goal has simply been to make progress each week in my strength training without injury--- it sounds like a sad goal LOL
but after the hell I had last year--- it's a very important one... so far so good. 4 -

Goals/Comments
Today and yesterday I stay on track although I am glad my sister is at the supermarket now cause the meals I am eating are not fulfilling I know I'm trying to switch to small meals but I need to eat more throughout the day. This is still a learning process but I'm glad I am having kess and less cheat days especially around family eating all those carbs.6 -

Praying for your speedily recovery that is the main reason I cannot do exercise as my hr is 135 and I need to get back down to 104-108 which is my usual.4 -

Daily Post (Tuesday/ Nov 13)
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise: yes. Puppy walk
Goals/Day/Comments: I had a lot of energy today. I have noticed I have been having more energy at work lately. Tonight was the weekly deep cleaning at my store (I work at Starbucks). I had so much energy. I felt alive and zippy! My weight has had much fluctuations this past week. I don't know if i lost much at all. But I FEEL so much better. My stomach feels better. I feel better in my skin. I noticed that my clothes are looking better. I might be gaining muscle more. I think I have added too much solutible fiber in my diet and holding on to it . That might be the reason I am not dropping as much as I thought I would. But this is a win this week for me regardless.

@mexiconona Awesome NCV, it does take a while after a knee replacement to get back into it, but eventually you do! Great job!
@kazunomiya Increased energy is a good sign that you're doing what you need to do for your body, awesome!! And sometimes you hold onto water and don't drop as much weight as you think you would be, try increasing water intake. That encourages your body to let go of water that it's storing.
@cmteach4 It is most difficult to stay on track while you're traveling and out of your normal routine. My best advice is have a plan and a plan B, that way you're giving yourself the best chance you can to succeed. And have a plan for when the plans didn't work, like a plan for getting back on track!
@Bm00re2u Anytime you increase the weights on your weight training is a great NSV, it's great for your motivation and great for your body since you're definitely building muscle, which is great for increased calorie burn! Awesome job!
@mg07030 My goal every day is to reduce my stress and focus, yet somehow, I never achieve that goal, no matter how hard I try. And this week it's particularly important. I've even gone to an extreme to try to do that, to no avail. I think it's because I put so much pressure on myself, so don't do what I do lol. I'm glad that you're trying to do just that, and I hope you do better at that than I do.2 -
@jcgator2016 I really really hope that you and your doctors can figure out what's happening to you and head down the patch of recovery, I know how hard it is to be sidelined, and it definitely hurts your mojo and makes you feel like giving up when you feel like your body is actively working against you, but I encourage you to look at the positives and focus on what you CAN do, and not what you can't.jcgator2016 wrote: »
