Steps
11/3 - 13014
I've been under on calories this work weekend but slacked on my steps Saturday and on tracking food for the past week. It's so easy to just not but I gotta keep it up bc it is working.1 -
Sunday check-in
Calories under
Exercise recumbent bike, walking
Water over
5 for 90
1. Gym 3xs a week- going tomorrow
2. Exercise at least 30 minutes a day- biked at home, walked at park while nephews rode scooters, after dinner walk
3. Declutter- filled half a can
4. Social media- checking in, did good as I was real busy today
5. Trigger foods- both bad and good! I didn't even think of popping Altoids as being sugar until I'd already had a bunch. Prepared myself to avoid brownies and candy dishes at parent's for dinner and my mom opened a package of Walker's shortbread! I love those stupid cookies, I didn't sit with everyone eating at first then got some fruit and ate that instead.
Sleep- I don't sleep the best but what's making it most difficult is when I get up to go to the bathroom the kittens get up too. I just started taking Magnesium so perhaps I'll start sleeping through the night. I've been debating on shutting the door with the cats on the other side but it seems mean, I'll see how it goes.0 -

Welcome @nbbaby
To @broncobuddee please may I change my weigh-in day to a Wednesday? I am going to have gained this week anyway, but I think hump day may be better for me for staying positive and motivated.
I'm running on a deficit of about 1400 from last week, but I think processed food, eating out, lack of accuracy... it's likely not right. Also, this is the weekend I said my farewells to booze.
So, let's focus on those positives!
My journey so far...
I think I've been here a year. Took part very enthusiastically in last year's exercise Advent challenges. Discovered HIIT. Thought my new toned belly muscles were looking weird around Easter. Started mysteriously gaining weight no matter what I did, got very demotivated. And then I bloated up. A woman stood up for me on the tube, thinking I was pregnant in June. I decided to go to the doctor, and she could feel/hear something when she knocked my belly so arranged for some scans which showed a huge mass, the size of a 6-month pregnancy. Subsequent scans couldn't determine if this was ovarian or uterine, but we guessed uterine. I called it Eric. 11 weeks ago, I had the surgery to remove Eric. The surgeon underestimated the size of hole he would need to make in me, and it got messy. Eric had got bigger, he was full baby size when he came out, and stuck to all my organs. I had to have a full hysterectomy, and bladder repair, which is still causing me some issues. But luckily he was benign. And weighing me before and after revealed he must have weighed 13lbs. I subsequently lost another 5lbs in recovery, which I am battling to maintain, and may have lost the battle a bit... hence pressing reset.
I would just like to share with you though this visual representation of reset and progress - my allotment, which in the almost 3 months I have been recovering had become a horrible lawn, but I was able to do a bit of digging, and I cleared this corner yesterday.
So, 3rd November.
Calories - just over. Not much.
Water - under - 12/14 glasses (I have a huge target because of the surgery)
Exercise - 45 minutes of digging, and 10024 steps.

Took an impromptu trip with my husband last night to Austin, Texas and did not track my food and for once, am not feeling guilty about it!!1 -
Good morning!!
I wanted to post the results from our October step challenge. Unfortunately, my Excel program has something majorly wrong with it and I had to do most of the results manually to get these numbers. Ugghhh math!! 
This month I will be using the Fat 2 Fit spreadsheet so it should be easier and that way you can all go look at your totals throughout the month.
Anyway! You can see that our top winners were Jactop at 440,446 and AustinRuadhain at 401,435 steps! I didn't get all the step counts from everyone so you might have had more than you see below. Let's try to do even better in November!

So sorry to hear your story. Hang in there, it can only get better for you now. By the way great job on the corner ground, but pace yourself you dont want to hurt yourself.0 -
@nbbaby sorry to hear you struggle so much with this. I've been there and it's awful. Have you seen a doctor? I know sleeping pills aren't great but once in a while it can help to have some relief.
Yes I have a family doctor and alot of specialist for different parts of me. One specialist puts 8 needles in my back every 2 1/2 months with freezing in them to help. It hurts bad for 2 days but after that it helps me move without so much pain for about 6 weeks.
I do take sleeping pill 1 a week or so. The problem with them is sometimes they don't work, and I'm just a zombie all the next day, and I can't take them everyday otherwise I need to take more and more to get them to work. And I can't get any sleep without them. But I slept more last night. I slept from 4am to 9.15 so other than the headed I get from lack of sleep, I feel a little more alert.

Hello my name is Sharon
I'm 52 next month. Im married for 29 years. I have 3 grown children and 5 granddaughters. I'm not very healthy, I have Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Acid Reflux, 9 Herniated Discs. IBS-C. And a few others, and right now I'm fighting some kind of lung problem Docs thinking COPD but I'm hoping it's just an infection or something. Well have to wait for the test to see.
I did just find out 2 months ago that my only son (middle child) who is 31 is dying of cancer and theres nothing I can do. So frustrating to be helpless. I've cried a river. So I thought I would start concentrating on my health because its gonna be hard to do when the time comes.
Although I get through each day by telling myself somehow he'll be ok. It's the only way I can function. Denial I know...
So
My goal is to lose 71 pounds, I've already lost 20 lbs, so I have 41 pounds left to go. I lost those pounds on Keto that I started 2 months ago. I plan on staying on it.
Because of my body and that some days (most) I cant walk to well due to the pain. I need to lose this weight by mostly dieting. Although the days the pain isnt as bad I do try to clean the house or go for a walk on the treadmill.
Taking weight of will help my pain in my joints. It's also great for the mind.
It's very nice to meet you all.
Welcome Sharon! Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! I look forward to being in this journey with you. Stay strong and be kind to yourself!
Thank you.
Everyone is very nice in this group. I'm excited to have (and give) support. I have no one for support in my life and I think I'll do much better with it.
I dont mean to come across whinning about myself. I was just putting some of my story. I'm really excited to be here. With so much in my life go on, it's nice to try to forget it all even if it's just for a few seconds a day to come on here and worry about myself and my health, and to support others.

@Wishusdonna I'm so glad Eric was benign! It became real huge, I'm so glad you were able to have it removed. Sounds like you had a great day yesterday, getting outside in the yard/garden is great for the soul. Be careful not to overdo it.
@nbbaby you just put your weight in the post on your day. The downfall of taking sleeping meds is feeling groggy the next day. Your treatment sounds interesting, is it a form of acupuncture? I've had needles but not freezing, sounds fascinating. I've tried a lot of random things for pain control but am always interested in new things. I'm glad you're part of the group!
@Mrmcgrath glad you had a great day and were able to enjoy food without feeling bad!
@AustinRuadhain Sounds like you had a great day! Decluttering is always a pain to do but it's so nice being organized when done.

Monday weigh-in
Last week- 125.2
This week- 125.4
The scale's going in the wrong direction, my top for maintaining is 125 so I'm a little over. I'm up about 4lbs for when I hit my 100lbs down two weeks ago. I was bad about eating many calories back for exercise and am still at losing .5lbs so added 300 calories. Maybe I'm not doing this right?0 -
