I am having trouble drinking water. I have NO trouble drinking coffee.... so I am swapping to herbal tea. This has worked for me in the past.
Anyone else have trouble drinking water?1 -

I have trouble drinking water when I'm at home. At work sitting at my desk, I make sure to drink a fair amount (my current goal is 128 oz / day). But at home, I'm up moving around, being mom, etc. and just forget to drink.1 -

I freaking gained again. I've been under cals, I know it's water retention, but this is getting ridiculous. I have to do better than this. Not looking for pity but I feel like I'm letting down the team and I apologize. Hopefully this weight will drop by next weigh in.4 -

Tea is an awesome solution that I also do, especially with colder weather coming. I use Mios and such for flavor as well. I need flavor!!! Haha!
Also - I dislike having to whiz all the time, In summer it's so hot it's not as much of a problem but once it's cool out I don't drink as much. It's just too annoying!0 -

I don’t really worry about it being straight water. My registered dietician said to worry more about fluids to keep hydrated. No sugary drinks or juices. I drink a combination of coffee, tea, nestea zero, Soda water, diet cranberry juice and of course plain old water. I do drink my coffee and tea black. He recommends 9 glasses of fluids a day. Some days I do tend to forget to hydrate.
I think I will go have a glass of water. 💦

I found drinking water easy once I had my routine - cycle to work, drink 500 ml and take 500 ml to my desk, walk at lunch same again, cycle home, same again. I might miss the odd 500 ml or have an extra 500 ml though it is second nature now.0

Just got to push through as football is tomorrow evening and I don't want to let the guys down. Cycled again tonight and managed 9 miles at 19.6mph in the middle so not all bad. MFP getting annoying and logging me out everytime I change page but what can I expect for free! Overall still a darn fine week and I'm going to go and give my wife a hug now
There seems a good deal of stress and/or tension bubbling under the surface - let it out folks, we are about as impartial as you are going to get!
I feel like I'm being pulled in 20 different directions right now, and not having any sense of peace of mind.....I think I have to step away from some things and just concentrate on my own well-being; otherwise, the path I might take would take me off of my health goals......1 -
If you are not healthy @LaurieWrobo then you won't be much use to anyone else. I definitely needed to find a 'selfish' streak which is not my normal nature however if I don't I will be off doing things just to keep others happy rather than achieving my goals. To be fair I think it forced some people to think and act for themselves and it might have done them some good.3

GOOD MORNING CREW!!!
I am at work... been here over an hour. Came in early since I will be leaving at noon to go visit my daughter. WOO HOO today is my FRIDAY! She will be taking leave today and tomorrow, too. She is taking a test this am to see if she can rank up to Petty Officer. Fingers crossed! This would be nice now that Peanut is on the way. Second fingers crossed -- she has an ultrasound tomorrow. Maybe we will find out if Peanut is a boy or girl.
I will be skipping weigh in this week. I was supposed to pack my bathroom scale for consistency. Guess where it is at? At home... In my bathroom.
@boehle - I can still post weigh ins from my phone if that will help.

You are not letting anyone down.
This is a journey for us all... not a sprint.1 -

Weigh Day Thursday:
PW: 253.0
CW: 253.0
I at least managed to drop back down from last weekend's gain by today. I need to get motivated for some 'real weight loss' rather than bouncing up and down and getting nowhere. This upcoming week-I will stay on plan (every day) and achieve a loss!4 -
Steps 9/18: 23,477
Yesterday was squats, deadlifts and interval runs...today my legs are feeling beat. I did manage to get 30 minutes of easy elliptical before work and plan for some stretching and a short walk at lunch if the legs will cooperate. So far, on plan for Thursday.
Cheers to everyone!1 -
Let's play thankful Thursday as it looks like everyone is struggling this week.
Show me a picture of you and compliment yourself in that picture.
Here is a picture of me today. I love my hair and my eyes and that I don't look almost 40.

Enjoy your weekend! It is so special you get to go to the ultrasound. I loved those visits when my oldest was pregnant. Sure am missing seeing all the pregnancy milestones with my youngest daughter who is in Scotland. She is due in a week.
I am doing lots of nothing this weekend.1 -

4.2 POUNDS! YUCK! I know it is not all fat. I ate some heavy sodium foods yesterday. So I am retaining water. But I do believe some of it is actual weight gain. Most of the week I sat at around 211.
These meds are killing me. I get so hungry. I was already fighting the binges before the med changes but now it is crazy. It seems like I eat more carbs than usual. My doctor said the changes are only temporary but the first change was made over 3 weeks ago. I worked so hard to lose the weight, I don’t want to be in a gain pattern. If any one has any suggestions in dealing with increased appetite due to medication, I am all ears.
I am trying to move more because of the increased appetite. I definitely don’t move as much as I did when the kids had summer vacation. I have to add another form of exercise in beside walking.

Ouch! Not happy with this. I did start physical therapy this week so maybe I’m retaining a bit of water. I’ve got to get back on track. This yo-yo is getting tiresome.2
