Almost forgot to put up a question of the week this week. OK. Mini Challenge: Question of the week: What made you finally decide to make a change for you health?
Since I've got my son and started a new job I've put on about 25 lbs and I can't fit most of my old clothes. And I've reached my limit then I saw 182 lbs on my scales (I was like that on 9th month of my pregnancy).
So I want to say a massive thank you to our capitan to be so involved and supportive and everyone in Fub-u-less team. It's so much easier to deal with my hunger and laziness with all of you 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you ☺️3 -

As for the reason that I began this journey:My walking was getting worse so if the weight lessens MAYBE,walking &standing will be better. I have been honestly trying since March ,only now am I seeing that scale move more quickly. Successes do keep the motivation high.So,keeping on,keeping on

It's always good to read others' stories.
Here goes mine:
Hypothyroidism. But that's not the only thing. I was still stuck in the "I'm never going to lose any weight" phase when I casually installed MFP a few months back, and decided to log everything to get an idea of how much I eat. That worked better than I expected, and in the process I started realizing how I used to feel before I started chronically bingeing. I think the past few months have been more about better mental and physical health than a number on the scale (who am I kidding, I need the numbers for motivation
).
I used to be somewhat thin (BMI 20-21) until 5 years back. As weird as it sounds, I'm comfortable staying slightly overweight now as long as I feel healthy. But I think I'll lose more until I get to the optimal weight range because it's just too easy to fall off this particular wagon.2 -
@cdavisdeva ALL things can be accomplished through a healthy channeling of some rage!
I've done it a time or two too! 
Just make sure that it ends with a good slap of "take that 'cause I told you so!"
@lk2011 It WAS a good day! Tomorrow is gonna be a good day too!
@RisingAboveIt get it off before it gets any worse was my sentiments exactly too! You've got this under control though!
@12774 You're making amazing progress! 65 lbs is no joke! And yes, it was VERY cold this morning when I went for my walk. Good job pushing through it!
@mrs1spy You're doing fantastic! You'll have that weight off in no time! I wouldn't still be here if it weren't for all the wonderful people either!
@ghy5 It DOES get better! I didn't realize just how bad my walking, speed and posture had gotten until I dropped 50lbs and was like "WHOA!!" I remember how it feels now! That in itself is all the motivation I need...just that reminder of what normal does feel like.
@rekvar12 Yeah, mental and physical health are so intertwined that I am not even sure that you can fully have one without the other. And yes, it totally makes my day when I get up and I have lost weight again....complete motivation!2 -

Track: couldn't - server error on MFP
Calories: I'm guessing under
Exercise: Yes: 15 min walk
Mini Challenge: Question of the week: What made you finally decide to make a change for your health? Type 2 Diabetes. My HA1c crept up to 6.5, which put me in diabetic range. This really threw me for a loop, since my diabetes was non-existent post gastric bypass surgery. In the past 4 months my HA1c has dropped down to 6.3 - a huge improvement. I thank MFP and therapy for this improvement in my health. I also wanted to be able to walk more than 10 minutes without my back hurting or getting tired. I'm now using trekking poles and the back pain has stopped! In nicer weather, I got up to 1.25 miles...a huge accomplishment for me.5 -
@starshine15 Woot! Diabetes controlled AND 1.25miles!! That is a HUGE accomplishment and something that will only get better and better for you! I'm so glad that the pain has stopped for you too! Speed and duration will come with time and nice weather should only be a month or two away. I'm anticipating the nice weather too!1

Track:Yes
Calories: Under
Exercise: yes- I joined a gym today! 40 minutes on treadmill 10 on elliptical and 2 minutes on stair master.
What made me decide to make a change for my health? I hit a new high of 211 pounds- then I thought that I went up to 218 pounds over Christmas-happily for me my bathroom scale was whacky. But I felt horrible and bloated. And my shirts were creeping up as my pants were creeping down, and nothing was comfortable and everything hurt, AND I SAID NO MORE!6 -
@cindyk4919 Congrats on joining a gym! Sweat it off and say good-bye to that old era! IT IS GONE....GONE!!1

Weekly weigh in (Friday)
Name: spinnerkind
Pw: 82.8 kg (182,5 lbs)

So,luckily, the problem last week was indeed my scale and not my own misperception *relieved* also a little loss compared to the week before.
Personal challenge for next week: cut sugar! I usually hardly eat any sweets but during the last two weeks chocolate was difficult to resist.4 -

Is anyone else having more trouble with MFP tracking. I keep getting a server error and that they're working on it. It was working at 5:30a.m., but not now at 7:05am EST.1

Week 2
PW: 153.9

Week of all day meetings at work so only averaged about 4,000 steps per day. I DID manage to avoid the inevitable platter of donuts and bagels though and that seems to have paid off. So Happy It's Friday!!2 -
