    I guess I am going to have to bite the bullet and get off my feet like the dr recommended. I had an injury to my foot on July 4th. and it still hasn't healed. Went back to the dr Saturday and they tell me to stay off the foot which is impossible with my job. BUT I can take it easier I suppose. I was feeling great this morning and went outside at lunch and took a walk and now I can barely wiggle. so lesson learned I guess lol . They put me on steroids for 2 mths and wanted me on crutches just to get me off my foot but that's a no go. Anyway. I will have to be extra careful on my calories in because I will not be burning many. I am determined to get better though!

    @deanit I sent a message to Ashley, so you should be added back in by tonight. Welcome back!!
    @victorious55 Perfect goal for a perfect day! Keep it up!
    @toodles4elvis Great! Got it! GO TEAM GO!!
    @happy7811 sure. MFP is super glitchy....sometimes I think that they should just fire their tech monkeys and hire real monkeys which might have a statistically higher probability of accidentally fixing something once in a while!
    @jenngitch I hope that your foot heals up fast! Steroids suck!

    Hi all, my name is Diana. Joined the challenge in September, got sidelined from exercising due to a sprained ankle and upper fibula break. Go to the orthopedist again tomorrow, hoping to get the ok to perhaps swim. Though am still having a lot of pain in my foot and leg especially at night.

    Didn’t think I had lost any weight, but the scale this morning showed I was down about 2lbs. Am going to double check it in the morning. Also worry it could be some muscle loss.

    Working to get back on track with tracking, as have not been doing a great job of us as have just been to tired to track. But being part of this group does remind me I can still focus on my eating and tracking, even if I can’t work out. Besides healthy clean eating helps with the healing process.

    Track: Yes
    Exercise: walking/hobbling with aircast and crutches
    I will post weight tomorrow once I confirm it wasn’t a fluke

    Omg how do you survive your cheat days? I eat well within my caloric limits throughout the week then hell break loose on my cheat day. The things I ate :/ and now I feel defeated :'( Woke up to a huge piece of cake I left from yesterday but I promise that's it. I really want to stay on track and eat healthy but I fear that these cheat days will set me up for failure. Should I avoid them altogether?

    Track: Yes

    Calories: 1605/1830

    Exercise: Calories burnt: 878. 28 minutes cleaning, 92 minutes cooking, and 38 minutes of walking with 3,604 steps.

    Comments: Figured out what I did with my foot. I was walking wrong. Instead of landing on my heel, I have a tendency to land on the back part of the ball of the foot, which is not where weight is supposed to be supported. I have since wrapped it and I am working on correcting how I walk. Did the same thing to my hands a few months ago. I wasn't supporting my weight properly on them, or wasn't pulling and pushing on something properly, and sprained the middle of the palms.

    Since the foot is wrapped, and if I walk correctly, then it doesn't hurt.

    Weigh in week: Oct. Week 1
    Weigh in day: Tuesday
    Previous Week's weight: 187.1
    Todays Weight: 189.6

    I think I figured out a combination of the weight gain issues:
    1. I've been forgetting to take my water pills. OOps
    2. It's that lovely time of the month
    3. I'm working out more (gains? or my hope?)

    I'm hoping that's it. I seriously almost broke down crying at the gym when I weighed in this morning. I despise going backwards in weight, it brings on severe anxiety. But I'm moving forward, remembering my pills, upping the water, and hopefully getting back on track.

    Hi everybody!
    I'm new here, and this is my first round. Several months ago, I started training to hike the Grand Canyon. This has always been on my bucket list. I'm 57 and was terribly out of shape. I started at 220 lbs., and am now down to 207 lbs., and most importantly, I've gained a lot of muscle/strength and work daily toward this hiking goal.
    I work as a medical/scientific illustrator and media art consultant. I love my work, but go through a lot of stressful, but yet sedentary days, working toward deadlines. Keeping active has always been challenging.
    I'm looking to get down to 200 lbs by the end of the month.

    Go Flabs! :)
    Best to all and your challenges!

    @mram3582 I'm new here, and was confused by which team I was on, and when the start date was. Finally figured it all out today, but realize I missed my Monday weigh in info.
    I did weigh myself yesterday (Monday), and if it's not too late (due to the confusion), here is my Monday weight. If it's too late, so be it, but thought I'd give it a shot:

    Cheat day is a controversial statement/topic. Is it a day, you let loose of all your guards? Or take a different kind of fuel for your physical body?

    My body is the only vehicle I have to carry me through this life journey. Food is fuel for my body. My stomach is the fuel tank. If I view my stomach as my fuel tank.... do I ever over fuel my car until the fuel is over the car?

    My body is more precious than the most expensive car. More expensive than Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita ($4.8M) or
    Lamborghini Veneno ($4.5M). No body with these type of cars will over-fuel them.

    What do you all think?

    @NaimahJSR the above is not to condemn you but open the topic for feedback and discussion. My suggestion for you is to forgive yourself and look at today as a brand new day and new start :) We all make mistakes. But as long as we do not let that mistake define us, we can move forward successfully.
