    @snowflake1968. Cancer took mum at the end of June. I stayed with mum and dad from the end of Feb and was able to care for her until the last few days. My husband and I have been apart for much of the year - Covid is having a big impact on our plans and my husband is now undergoing medical investigations in the south of England whilst I’m up on Skye a very long way north of him (he started his consultations before we bought the house on Skye and wants to follow through rather than changing consultants). I’m hoping we will be able to be with dad, my brother and his wife at Christmas in the south but it will depend on rules about how many people can meet up and any travel restrictions. The cat is on Skye and has to be factored into plans as well (one of us needs to be on Skye with him or we both need to travel together in the car with him and hope to drive non stop and make the journey in under 13 hours). Life can be complicated!

    @acrylicfox Your vitamins was my dishes before I moved. The other women can tell you! I fought with myself every day about doing the dishes! It was a source of many laughs! Now I have a dishwasher and it's only slightly better. Lol

    BWAHAHAHA!
    Gosh, well, I hope I'm not being too annoying with my intractable vitamin problems :grimace::joy:
    The dishes are my Waterloo :lol: , I gave up years ago and delegated most dishwashing to my partner! :kissing_heart:

    Log :)
    Stay in the green :)
    5 fruit and veg >:) 4
    Water :)
    Fitbit exercise goals :)
    Happy Scale weight trend ⬇️ 0.6 lost in last 7 days

    Today I will have one of my winter traditions. I will light the log burner and open my Christmas edition of Good Food magazine whilst enjoying smoked salmon and fizz. I’ve no idea what Christmas will be like this year (the first without my mum and probable Covid restrictions) but I’m trying not to dwell on things I can’t change.

      @HEGoddard0928 - good luck with the interview!

      FRIDAY:
      - 10k steps🟢
      - Exercise🟢
      - Log food🔴
      - B to soccer🟢
      - Continue painting the shed🟢

      I did a quick 4mile walk around the track during my daughter’s practice. Good thing too, because when I came home, my neighbors enticed me to come sit outside around the fire pit. A few beers and some pizza...high calories, but fun! We’re taking advantage of this warmer weather!

      JFT SATURDAY:
      - 3 soccer games
      - Bday party
      - 10k steps
      - Exercise
      - Log food

      Have a great Saturday! ⚽️

      Shade over on calories but solid day

      For Friday, keep on track. Make this my normal versus an activity or sprint

      1800 calories. My weekly average is below 2,000, keep it there: 1876
      Work out for 90 minutes: 89 including a 2.79 mile exercise walk
      Make good choices and keep my commitments: Made good choices as a whole but front loaded calories. Had to focus to keep the day in line
      Support my bride: Easy to do. Little and big things make a difference
      Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged. Stroll after dinner: Done, done and didn’t snack on the couch. Self reporting kept me from candy on the couch, got me out the door for a .5 mile stroll after dinner and kept me in the moment on the walk.

      For Saturday, these commitments mean something. I will not be perfect but can’t just let shortfalls pass by.

      1816 calories. Get the weekly average to 1900:
      Work out for 90 minutes:
      Make good choices and keep my commitments. Pre log Saturday dinner to stay on track:
      Support my bride. We have a good life and I wouldn’t be where I am without her:
      Don’t eat on the couch:

      Good morning! Happy Saturday!

      @HEGoddard0928 Good luck at your interview! I will say a prayer for you!

      @Bex953172 I love your wit. Although I would hate for you to actually extract your teeth, I did have to chuckle at your description of eating your toffee apple! :smile: Glad to hear you are getting your appetite back and that you are on new meds. I go in this week to talk to my doc about same. (((HUGS)))

      @mytime6630 I know this is a hard time of year for you. Something the No BS weightloss program really drives home is that our sabotaging thoughts are still just 'thoughts'. We can control thoughts by catching ourselves and rephrasing them. I've been really working on this a lot myself in the past couple of weeks. So when I catch myself being upset over finances, loss of job, missing my kids, etc....I actually tell myself "It's normal to feel sad about this, and that's okay. But eating ice cream isn't going to change the facts. It's just going to add fat to my *kitten*." or something to that effect. I don't know if that helps, because everyone's situation is different and you have a lot going on, but I wanted to share because self-talk is a big piece of the program and it makes a lot of sense to me. Love to you, my friend.

      @TerriRichardson112 The video you posted the other day was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. That song was exactly what I needed to hear that day. :heart:

      Part of my old (replacement) Fitbit broke after I finished charging this morning, so I need to order a new one right away. Just a little addicted to seeing how many steps & how many active hours I have. And I like to know my resting heart rate sometimes, but don't wear or care about sleep hours. Good thing I have been reviewing their newest products lately just in case, because I know my version (from 2015) isn't even sold anymore. Hope I can find a discount email that they are constantly sending me.

      Weekly Weigh-In = When I'm active I eat back calories. My weaknesses: I love food... my sweet tooth, especially chocolate... portion control... FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I peek occasionally other days. My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale. No goal dates set ~ this is not a diet but my lifestyle.

      Age 63, 5'4" (have permanently lost half inch ~ bummer)
      GW #1: 150 in a livable way = It's. Not. A. Diet.
      GW #2: 145 normal BMI
      UG maintain: 145 - 150 (need to be realistic)

      11/5/15 = 195.0 joined MFP with no real plan except It's. Not. A. Diet.
      1/10/17 = 185.5 clearly not a regular on MFP / joined JFT, best group ever! :smiley:
      5/31/17 = 180.5 two end of month celebrations / committed to posting weekly weigh-in
      06/03 = 177.5
      06/10 = 179.5 pre-10K spaghetti supper night before
      06/17 = 179.5 numerous meals away from home, several occasions w/ alcohol, happy no gain
      06/24 = 178.0 fluctuated during week, but ended ok
      07/01 = 176.0 Yay!!! Achieved June goal to stay <180

      08/12 = 173.5 scale flirted with even lower numbers on daily weigh-ins
      08/19 = 173.5 had couple of high calorie days
      08/26 = 172.0 kind of a surprise
      09/02/17 = 170.0 Woohoo! Officially overweight, not obese :smiley:
      09/09 = 171.5 backsliding, ack!
      09/16/17 = 169.5 yay, the middle number is a six!

      10/28 = 164.5 very active week & watched CICO / reached October goal of 165
      11/04 = 163.0 wow, really surprised at this, daily fluctuations very up and down this week
      11/11 = 164.5 this is temporary b/c very high sodium yesterday
      11/18 = 162.0 big surprise, especially b/c I weigh myself daily and didn't see this all week
      11/25 = 163.0 no surprise after 2 no-logging-food days (parade day and Thanksgiving), just glad not worse
      12/02 = 161.0 Jingle Bell 5K day / 44:37 chip time & ave. pace 14:22 & very happy!
      12/09/17 = 158.5 first time in 10 years my weight is 1-5-anything! :D
      12/16 = 158.0 no work parties or food days & stuck with CICO
      12/23 = 157.5 no "workouts" but shoveled snow & snowshoed, busy with Christmas preparations

      01/20 = 156.5
      01/27 = 156.5 maintaining / not a bad thing
      02/03 = sick / no weigh in
      02/10 = 152.5 unhealthy loss due to illness / I know weight will go back up & I'm totally fine with that
      02/17/18 = 153.0 thrilled with annual physical on 2/15/18: BP 110/68, pulse 64 and BMI 26.14 :star:
      02/24 = 154.0 little out of control last week, but at goal for the month
      03/03 = 155.5 oops / still lower than before I was sick
      03/10 = 153.5 back on track
      03/17 = 152.5
      03/24 = 153.0 evening snacks & two days straight of 8 hr seminars (+ lots of sitting)

      04/28 = 152.0
      05/05 = 153.5 kinda stalled three months + feeling hungry more often ~ since w/i 10# of goal, changed MFP setting to lose 1/2 lb. per week & see how it goes
      05/12 = 153.5 ok with this ~ think changing my MFP setting, and having more net calories to play with, is agreeing with me ~ I'm not so hungry all the time
      05/19 = 154.0 drinks (2 margaritas) & dinner w/ BFF night before + enjoyed everything!
      05/26/18 = 153.0 Health Risk Assessment 5/15/18 ~ BMI 25.6 :star:

        I’ve been struggling with not stepping on the scale too. It’s sad that I feel like that number will validate me in some way.

        You are right about staying consistent. That’s what will pay off in the end. At least, that’s what I keep telling myself!

        Today is over for me but I did track everything.

        Self reporting kept me on track on Saturday

        For Saturday, these commitments mean something. I will not be perfect but can’t just let shortfalls pass by.

        1816 calories. Get the weekly average to 1900: 1699. Back on track for weekly 1900 average
        Work out for 90 minutes: 94 minutes including a five year high 3.09 mile walk
        Make good choices and keep my commitments. Pre log Saturday dinner to stay on track: Made good choices all day.
        Support my bride. We have a good life and I wouldn’t be where I am without her: Easy to do
        Don’t eat on the couch: Ate dinner at the table and went around the block afterwards, both unplugged. Ate a apple on the couch. Big victory

        For Sunday, finish the week on track. There are people who don’t have to track calories. I’m not one. Like a money budget, I have to stay within bounds to reach my objectives. I have to exercise self discipline.

        1950 calories:
        Walk for 45 minutes:
        Make good choices:
        Support my bride:
        Eat dinner at the table and walk afterwards, both unplugged:

        @sviers13 I am glad that I am not the only one who struggles with this. I did allow myself to weigh in today. I guess one week without weighing is better than daily and getting stressed about what I saw.
