Can anyone offer insight to the group and how the setup is, please? I really do need some friends and the support, so anyone who will add me, please, please do!
I have lost and gained weight my whole life. I lost about 60 pounds about 6 years ago over a couple years of hard work and have since gained 50 back. My knee is no good with arthritis and had surgery on my foot for a nasty heel spur. I am having a really difficult time getting back on track. I know my knee will be better with some weight off and I want to be more active with my family. My goal is to lose the 50 pounds (more ideally) and KEEP it off! I can't seem to get to the next 5 pounds though. Just a little about me and I am excited to be here!

Haven’t had a great week so wasn’t really expecting to see a loss. Still it’s frustrating that three weeks in and I’ve got little to show for it.3 -

After two and a half months of eating differently, my taste buds have changed. A friend and I went out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner last night. It's a place we often go, so I'm well acquainted with how things taste there. Last night, everything tasted like a giant salt bomb! I asked my friend if she thought things tasted salty, and she said they tasted normal to her.
Yesterday was also a day for a new veggie: edamame. I know...I know...not very groundbreaking, but I loved it! I had filled up on edamame at lunch before my mushroom and veggie soup ever arrived.
Edamame is such an awesome bean, I probably first had it about 10 years ago and can eat a huge bowl by myself. Glad you made a new discovery!1 -
@ka97 hang in there, sometimes it takes the scale a while to catch up.
@leonadixon just sentyou a friend request! You got this!2 -
Friday check in
Calories under
Exercise bike last night, elliptical and weights today. Hiking this weekend.
I leave in a couple hours for camping. i have a big bag of food I'm taking, I hope I don't offend my hosts! I'm going to be leaving next week for two weeks and am getting nervous about being out of routine and exposed/expected to eat stuff I normally don't. I'm going to get a 2 week gym membership while there so that'll help. Worst is I go crazy for 2 weeks, don't work out, gain a bunch of weight, and need to seriously crack down when I get home. That probably won't happen, I just have to find a happy medium between keeping calories low and daily workouts with balancing events like this.1 -

Weigh in day Friday
starting weight: 219.5
Previous weight: 219.8
current weight 216.6
Friday Challenge (and daily) Check-in of week 3 July
Food: all food logged, on plan, under on calories
Water: seems like 8 a day may be the sweet spot for me (who knows, but it's working)
Exercise: fairly steady at 30 min a day - more when I can
Next Day Goals
Food: make choices that are good for me and less sodium!
Water: no less than 8!
Exercise: a walk and housecleaning - maybe another walk or an evening bike ride (I do much better on the weekends!)
Goals or Improvements for tomorrow: drink more water, remember the good, be the good and encourage others on their journey
It was a better week - I made better choices, I was more intentional in all directions and I was more focused on logging and being real. All of those things make a difference.1 -

@leonadixon I hear ya! Sounds like we have some similar experiences. After losing 60+ pounds and getting in great shape, I’ve now got 20lbs to lose again - started with ankle surgery and has gone downhill since turning 49 🙁
@Katmary71 enjoy the camping trip!
@19shmoo69 What a great whoosh!!!!2 -
Saturday Check in
Calories: under
Water: over
Exercise: 40 minutes on the treadmill and a ton of housework.
So, a week or so ago my husband and I started talking about selling our house and finding a place a little larger and one that had a yard for our little dog. We drove over to this neighborhood that we have like that has a lot of new homes being built. At first we were thinking of building on a lot but there are no more lots for the house plan we liked best, so instead, we choose a house that will be ready in less than two months!! I have a couple coming tomorrow to look at my house! My head is spinning!!! I have so much to do!!
But my new home is going to be amazing!!!
