@Wishusdonna The only non traditional thing we're having is suberage, it's an Armenian dish of philo dough brushed with butter and filled with cheese and parsley. I'm going to try to only have one serving, can't imagine the calories! Congratulations on joining WW! I'm in a skinnytaste group and many people are on WW, I know they have three programs you can choose from. Did you find the right one for you? She has points included in her recipes. I do like my food more spicy though and don't think the newest program is included in counts. The blog Kayln's Kitchen used to have weight watcher points too.
@renaegry You got this!
@leonadixon you've done great this month!
@AustinRuadhain I love your strategies! It's hard not to talk about health as it's a big part of my life now but know it can be a drag to others. We usually go for walks after dinner too but my brother broke his foot, I hope my SIL is still up for it! Thank you for all your support this year!
Thank you everyone for your support, you all are so inspiring!

Hi everyone
Just want to thank you all for not kicking me out, someday I'll be better & be able to move.
Dr said I should be in hospital. I have a extreme lung infection.
He's not sure why yet. I'm on heavy meds, my heart hurts now but I have to hang on for 10 days. hopefully after 5 or 6 days I'll start to feel better today is day 3. I've be sick for 2 months now.
So there has been no weight loss because apparently I dont need to breathe to eat.
I'm laying in a bed pretty much day and night, so there is weight gain, so I'm gonna work on that.
It will be nice to breathe without pain.
So thank you all for being patient & hanging in there with me. 😘
Sharon
That being said if you'd rather I leave please let me know ok. I will totally understand.1 -

@broncobuddee I sent you a message about moving to the bench again if that is ok. Staying in maintenance mode until I have the time and health to concentrate on weight loss again.0 -

Weigh in week: 4 (28Nov2019)
Weigh in day: Thursday
Previous Weight: 197.7
Current Weight 199.4 ugh
Steps: 11/25 12,070 - 11/26, 14,095 - 11/27 6,278
5 for 90
Make time for yourself: mostly able to get out and walk, even if it's by myself...I do it for me
Exercise 30 minutes a day: on track!
Hydrate: on target
Give up a trigger food / behavior: uhhhh - night eating, where the eff did you come from???
Thankful for: having this place at the coast that I can visit and have been able to spend all week here!
Remember the good, be the good, encourage others on their journey - am really in need of stating mindful to remember the good and not get bogged down in life's ills and woes....everyone has them.
Man - not going to linger on it but I have a very cranky knee right now and it is harshin' my buzz. Old injury that flared from time to time over the last 10ish years but had been silent for a long while and I attributed it to the weight loss. Not sure what the what and the why but have cut back some on walking but trying to not just - not walk. I'll have it looked at if I can't get it to calm down but it's wreaking havoc just when I was so in the groove with the walking.
I'm stressing work these days, I think, struggling with feelings of utter inadequacy. A for-real, physical anxiety that has lingered waaay longer that I'd want (as if I ever want it). I don't know if that is why I have been munching at night (classic head in fridge or at the cabinet, trying to be quiet, quick-hurry before the sane Maria can talk me out of it) but that is a habit I gave up years ago and now, out of the blue, it's creeping in for several nights in a row. Working on being realistic and not beating myself up over it and also knowing it has to stop.
Huge TDay NSVs for me, really am happy how this holiday went. I planned all week - entering recipes into MFP and logging today's food even from several days ago. Got two walks, everything ready when I had planned it - food was delish and I had a very reasonable plate. I ate until I was very satisfied and decided to not eat what was still on my plate at that point. It's really important to me to learn this skill because my current method is to eat by the numbers (and if I put it in front of me, I feel I need to eat it) but I need to learn my body cues and have a different approach so that I can stay in it for the long haul and into maintenance. Yeah, I did eat some later again - had some turkey to satisfy the urge to have a few bites and called it good. Baby steps, Maria - pick your battles.0 -

@nbbaby - This is not the time to entertain thoughts of leaving - and no one wants you to leave.
You need people to rally around you! 1 -

Oh my gosh, of course we don't want you to leave! Put your health first, you can always get any weight off when you're feeling better, your lung recovery is number one and your body can likely use the calories from eating at maintenance to heal. Take good care of yourself!0 -
Thursday check-in
Calories- over
Exercise- walking, bike
Water- over
No clue how over I went, I just quick-added 2000 to cover everything. I swore I wouldn't eat stuff the kids made to be nice, well I sat between them so I have a Buddha belly now from croissants and brownies. So much for my resolve!
5 for 90
1. Gym 3xs a week- went 2xs this week, not sure I'm going tomorrow
2. 30 min exercise- did bike for 30 plus after dinner walk
3. Decluttering- none
4. Social media- no problem
5. Trigger foods- today was my goal day to reach. I'm a little bummed it's broken a 2 month streak but the pumpkin cheesecake was good.0 -
Hey @nbbaby - these guys were great when I had my tumour removed... I just transferred to supporter status while I recovered and popped in every now and again to say hi, and eventually to log my foods to make sure I was maintaining healthily. I've only really been back into things a month, and sort of getting more active at my own pace. I have run for the bus, though wouldn't do that on purpose again for a while. But the stomach muscles are nearly there now!
Most of my victories have been non-scale while I have been waiting for my skin and fat and scarred and lumpy bits to coalesce into a humanoid shape. There was a lot of swelling, and I'm still having to really watch my fluids, but I can now get into a load of old dresses, which is great.
The Fitbit app syncs with WW to give me points for steps which is great.
Just getting used to the points system- I'm out of the ideal tracking zone for yesterday and today (I have preemptively tracked all the party food I'll eat later). Going to start properly tomorrow at the group, but happy to take the 'win' points from these 2 days towards some goal prizes. I love prizes!

Hi Donna
I'm so sorry to hear about your tumor. But I'm glad you had it removed and are on a healthy road mentally and physically back to recovery.
Yes the people on here are amazing I'll give you that. I'm so happy I found this group. It's my only support in life.
Take care of yourself and don't overdue it to much. It takes so much time to heal from things like that.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.
Gym challenge- yesterday with trainer it was great. We did dumbell bench press but on s stability ball instead of a bench. Adds some core to it. As always I do one arm at a time. 25 lbs, 5x5. Rows 20 lbs, 10x5.
Tried to do overhead shoulder press but something is tweaked in my back. If it doesnt get better I'll for a massage
Today I really should have rested but I went for a run and crapped out partway through. My legs were just tired from doing stairs on Thursday.
