Hi everyone! I haven't checked in for a few days and will be out-of-town this weekend, not sure I'll be able to check in.
Calories under
Water good
Exercise recumbent bike
Today is gym day, I don't feel like going but I will. I've been eating lentil veg soup since Sunday, it's great but living alone and forgetting to freeze some means lots of nights of the same thing!1 -

Good morning! I'm popping in to let you know that I haven't forgotten you all.
Between the new house and work, I'm just trying to keep my head above the waves. My weight is up and I haven't been doing well at all. Today, after work I'm going to the grocery store and will stock up on all the foods that I can eat and stop with the excuses!!

Gosh, it is SO gratifying to read about everyone’s tenacity and strength! So......
I’m back on track..... whew. I had a “moment” that lasted 2 and a half weeks. I thought there might be someone out there who would benefit from this post.
Over the last two weeks, I’d almost completely broken from my my low carb, controlled calorie, minimal alcohol regimen. I’d start each day like that, and then completely blow it at dinner time and beyond. Emotionally, it was a miserable yin and yang..... immediate pleasure or comfort; guilt and anxiety later. And then, each day, rinse and repeat.
The most shocking development has been how my body has reacted to this ‘onslaught‘. The facts ( not exaggerated in any way): I’ve been ‘hangry’; feeling inexplicably ‘low’; I’ve got patchy spots on my face; generally feel bloated; a bathroom issue best left unsaid; definitely a decline in my endurance.
When I think about how poorly I’ve treated my body (and myself) over the years...
So, my body likes my better way of eating.... and, I’m happy to say that ‘I’m back’! Not sure if anyone has associated physical well-being with ways of eating but I certainly appreciate it now. Looking forward to seeing better results and getting back to feeling my best!2 -

I have an autoimmune disorder and have found that what I eat can make a huge difference in how I feel, mentally and physically.

I’m not too disappointed with this weigh in even though I didn’t lose. I’ll just keep chugging along 😁3 -
Hello everyone.
I thought I would just pop on and say hi. You'll have noticed I haven't had my Fitbit on since my operation either... It will come back after week 8, I'm only on week 4 now.
My tumour was the biggest the surgeon had seen in 27 years, but alas he didn't weigh it, so I weighed me this week instead ( yes, we finally got scales), and I'm 11 stone 1lb (155lbs) which means I have pretty much lost a stone. Eric was a stone! Proper 14lb loss.
The op was not smooth. Lost blood, had bladder damage and my scar doesn't stop at my belly button, but about 2 inches short of my breastbone. But gotta love the NHS! They took such good care of me and I am now facing a bright and healthy future!
I'm recovering really well. I'm only walking for exercise at the moment. When I am not so scabby I will go swimming. That's days away now.
And the best news: Eric was benign!
Yesterday, I tried on some old dresses that fit again now. I'm not drinking because it affects my digestion which is still dodgy, but I think I'll keep that up as my scaly eczema skin has gone! Eventually hoping to benefit from improved sleep (once the pain stops waking me up).
Oh, my diet has been terrible. Mainly ice cream and chocolate.
But anyway, I'm alive!5 -
@Wishusdonna - Thank you so much for checking in! I am so delighted to hear things went well and that you have a bright and healthy future ahead of you!Such wonderful news! 😮😁😊
@kres567 and @Jamidi - A big hurray to just keeping chugging along! 🚂🚂🚂
@Katmary71 - Have a lovely time at the wedding! 💒🎩👰🎉
@KMD1214 - Hurray to being back to your better way of eating, taking care of your body and feeling your best soon! 🎉🎉
YES. I, too, eat the way I do because it makes such a huge difference in my physical well-being. I had someone ask me recently when I would go back to eating "normally" and I just smiled and said this was now normal for me. (I have been eating differently for a year and a half.)2 -
Good morning! It's a dreary, rainy day but that is OK! My plans are to work in the house all day and continue to unpack and make things pretty.
@Wishusdonna, so glad to read that your surgery was a success and that you are well on your way to a full recovery. Yayyy for dresses that fit again!! You will get back on a more healthy eating plan. With all you have gone through a little ice cream and chocolate is more than justified.
@KMD1214, I am right there with you!! My intermittent fasting and low-carb eating have been severely derailed for the last month and my body isn't liking it one bit! I woke up this morning determined to get back on plan. My coffee is black and I have tracked my eating for the day in my app. Let's do this!!

Weigh in week: 2 (13Sep2019) a day late!
Weigh in day: Friday
Previous Weight: 206.4
Current Weight 207.4
remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey
Good grief - remember this from week 1...?
Wow, totally was not expecting to shed nearly 5 pounds in a week, not sure I trust it but I am working on letting the numbers be what they are and not give them a greater power than they have, basically none in reality. Anyway - I'll take the loss and keep this in mind when I swing the other way. =>
So, up with the sodium and calories was the week, down with the exercise and the logging lagged. The sodium gain started going away, finally, and here we are. I've thought about reducing when I weigh to once a week but I have to be honest and say that is a bit of a stress-making thought. I'm already concerned about being somewhat la sai fair in logging of late and I don't think ignoring the scale will make that better. I wonder if trying to be so strict is becoming burdensome - anyway, just thinking about it. Work has been so stressful and busy lately - I listened to a very timely podcast last night about not allowing work to be an excuse to not eat well and not exercise much. The Fitbit shows me in no uncertain terms that I get less sleep during the week as well as less exercise, and unless I plan and pre-log food, the eating and logging aren't what they need to be, either. I want to walk everyday after work, ideally; before work seems ungodly to me as I already get up at 5:30am.
At the coast and have plans to walk and kayak today and tomorrow - getting a bike ride in would be fun, as well. It's just us with no company and no plans to eat out, typically this all adds up to better food choices for me and the hubs.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend - I'm going to go back and read about the week you just had!! =>
