@sleepymom5
Thanks. I seem to always do better with the exercise. Not sure why that is. Yes, the condo complex sure is dog friendly. It's always fun to see my doggie friends. It's been a little cooler here the last few days so there aren't as many people out.0 -

Glad that Jim is doing better. Enjoy your dinner together.0 -
Happy Saturday everyone,
Sorry for not posting yesterday. I continue to feel well and got caught up in the school schedule yesterday. I took a break from a weigh in this week as I was in such a fog. As I emerge from self-isolation, I am swamped with cleaning and kid stuff. I am technically out of self isolation tomorrow morning, but I am starting to get ready in the house with my mask on. There is a lot of laundry, tidying and cleaning to be done. We have been divided up amongst various rooms and bathrooms, it is kind of crazy. My younger son is overjoyed to be getting his mom back! I hope to just get out tomorrow finally, and start to get my mojo back!
Our F2F registration is now open, so please tell your friends, post on your walls and post in your other groups!
@pacsnc6 - That is so great that you are feeling well through your treatment. I hope that you continue to do well and sending you a virtual hug!
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx - I am sorry about your iron levels. I had that in perimenopause and it can make you quite exhausted. It took me a while to find an iron supplement that worked and I could tolerate well.
@tryingagain5 - I am glad that you continue to get out and walk with your neighbour!
@Fi45 - We really hope that you change your mind and stay. I understand the need to take a break sometimes. I have asked that you be moved to cheer squad for now. That way, you can change your mind and move back to the team at any time, by just posting here or messaging me and Pam. It is such a tough time right now. Please feel free to post whether you are on the weight loss team or now. Sending you a virtual hug!

Saturday 4/25
Food: over
Water: 80 oz
Exercise: 15 minutes low intensity, 30 minutes medium intensity, 45 minute walk, 30 minute walk
I slept in a little today. Walked at a local park with a lady from my church and then we stood in the parking lot and talked for a while, 30 minute walk with my neighbor around the condo complex. She's been having some back issues so we walked less than normal today. Another neighbor was going by in his car and stopped to talk with us and we talked for about 30 minutes. I spent a lot of time outside today.2 -

Lockdown really does make this whole health lifestyle hard. Especially with the beautiful weather we are having at the moment (perfect for barbecues and bottle a of wine!). This past week I have been looking at and trying out different home streaming workout video programmes - I'm enjoying Body Groove and Les Mills. Thinking that if I try to commit to being more active, it may encourage healthier eating....
(I apologise for going AWOL again, I have a tendency to put my head in the sand, but I really need to stand up and take account of my actions. I need and want to get fitter, and I know you are a fab bunch that can really help me with that, I just need to embrace it!)8 -

Weigh in Week 5
Weigh in Day: Sunday
PW: 259.0 (117.5 kg)
CW: 259.0 (117.5 kg)
I'll take it. I stopped tracking a few days this week. After spending the whole week feeling dreadful I booked a phone appointment with my doctor on Friday pm, he sent me for blood tests and emailed me today (Sunday!) to say everything is normal including my iron. I am on meds that can make me tired though, and the the lightheaded and spinning I've had in the past few weeks is something that I've had before but not for a while. He gave me a new med for the spinning and the nausea that comes with it, side effect - makes me tired. Ugh. I managed a half hour Yoga today to stretch neck, shoulders and back, and then after a nap I did 45 mins on the spin bike and 15 elliptical. Very slow because I'm still quite lightheaded but the med is helping I think.
Dr also gave me the results from my MRI that I had a few months ago, shows the nerve compression and bulging disc at C7. Also shows numerous black spots in my brain that they're not worried about, I think that's linked to my migraines. I don't think I want to Dr Google that any further.
Anyway, back to tracking more carefully today. No excuses.5 -
@Freeglerock A website I use for working out is Fitness Blender. You can filter your search for workout videos by the type and intensity you want and almost all of them are free.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Wow. I'm so proud of you for doing that much exercise when you feel so bad! And I'm sorry you are having a rough time right now. Hopefully your new medicine can help. Hugs to you!2 -

Sunday 4/26
Food: over
Water: 64 oz
Exercise: 30 minute walk
My church did a drive in service today. I opted to stay home and watch the livestream. I couldn't get that going so I watched a service on TV. I found out later that church couldn't get the livestream to work.
I went for a walk with my neighbor and then napped for the afternoon since I'm going to work tonight.2 -
xX_PhoenixRising_Xx wrote: »@CassieGetsFit2013 My weight has jumped up today because of sodium I think, +800 grams or almost 2 lbs. It's not a true gain, just a fluctuation. I track my weight daily so I look at the trend, and I'm consistent and accurate with my logging. I have just altered my daily calorie goal however, as with the lockdown and working from home I'm not moving as much and not losing much. Set myself to Sedentary instead of Lightly Active which took away some calories, but at least now I can log my exercise and not feel guilty if I eat some of the calories back. also set to lose 0.75kg per week. Hopefully I'll have a nice balance now between not starving and losing consistent weight - when was the last time you set your goals? Are they still realistic? Are you weighing and logging everything consistently? Just a few suggestions because I know going back to the basics can sometimes help.
Actually, I haven't messed around with my goals in a while! I should probably take a look at them and see what they are set at. I'm sure I have ot set to lightly active too, when some days that is true, but I'm more sedentary than before...Some weeks I am moving around more, some very little...I am weighing once a week, every Sunday and I wasn't logging for a while, but I just got back to trying to stick with logging everything!

Well, I didn't lose the 3lbs that I gained last week, but I did lose 1.2lbs. That's better than nothing OR a gain!
So, my Sister kind of body shamed me yesterday...She is a lot heavier than me, and I don't know if she meant to body shame me or if she just said it and I took it too seriously as I do with everything...But it's something I'm self conscious about so of course it would bother me...Anyway, don't really want to say what she said or tell you guys what it is that I'm self conscious about, cause it's embarrassing, but I figured this should be the best and safest place to ask about this because maybe some of you have dealt with it...Anyway, I looked it up the other day and it's called FUPA...Basically I have too much fat under my belly/above my...You know...So, I was wondering if there are any exercises that target that area or if overall weight loss with help with that area...Please, someone tell me what to do and let me know if there's anything that can help with this!4 -
Check in for Monday - it's a public holiday here (ANZAC day observed) so a day off work. I went for a walk down to the beach, first time in 4.5 weeks since we've been in lockdown. Technically I live close enough to not break the rules by going there, but so many others out every time I've tried to go for a walk that I've just stuck to my garage gym. Too hard to keep a 2 meter safe distance! Did a loop and got an hour walk in.
I also tried a little bit on my spin bike when hubby was lifting weights but I admitted defeat on that, feeling a bit lightheaded still.
Tracking food okay today, still need dinner. Think I'd better make sure that I stick to mealtimes and make sure I eat enough at meals that I don't want anything outside of those times.

@CassieGetsFit2013 I'd like to give you a miracle answer to the FUPA - after being super morbidly obese, having had 4 kids including full term twins and then losing 160+ lbs and gaining half back, mine does not look stellar either. Nor my stomach for that matter!
Unfortunately, I can say from a point of education and experience, you can't spot reduce. If you lose weight in general, it will probably shrink along with everything else, but there's not a lot you can do for that area in particular.
I can also say from a point of education and experience, that anyone who body shames you, or tries to, can go shove it because they're not worth your time or your hurt feelings. Usually when people criticize others it comes from their own insecurities, even if you think they have nothing to be insecure about. So many people make themselves feel better by tearing others down. I decided to make it a firm rule years ago that "what other people think of me is none of my business." I have heard so much hate directed at me and my body when I was obese, when I was losing weight, when I was thinner, when I was Personal Training and lifting weights and muscled - you will never please everyone and it's not your job to. Be happy in yourself and don't let anyone dull your sparkle!9 -
Hi all,
Weigh in
username - podperson1
Week - 5 (?)
PW - 189.6
CW - 188.6
Happy with that
@sleepymom5 - how wonderful to hear that Jim seems to be getting that bit better each day, and how lovely your community had a car parade for him
@Cafelelia - glad your test results were ok, hope you're feeling better soon x
@Fi45 - we do all need a break sometimes but please don't feel you have to leave just because you aren't losing. This group is wonderfully supportive in ways that go far beyond a number on the scales, and in these uncertain times I know that's something I'm really appreciating
While it's a shame that the groups overall had a gain, I hope it does make those not losing in here realise that they're not alone. It's so stressful overall at the moment, and I know that many are like me and have been conditioned to turn to food for 'comfort'. It's something I'm trying hard to break myself of, but will varying degrees of success lol.
I don't feel like I have much to report as I haven't really been anywhere or done anything! After a few quite hilarious hiccups then managed to get my folks onto video calling at weekend - it was nice to 'see' them again. A few blips on the food side (takeaway is like my kryptonite at the moment) but trying to keep the workouts up a bit more. It's been gorgeous weather here, which is actually a little frustrating as would love to be out in it but it seems like everyone has the same idea and the 'people dodging' just makes it stressful. It's times like these I really wish I had a garden to sit out in. But ah well.
Hope everyone is staying safe and well x4 -

@CassieGetsFit2013 I think @xX_PhoenixRising_Xx is right, you can't spot reduce. But I wanted to ask, if strengthening the lower ab muscles might help???
You just need to be content with the progress you're making. Don't worry about what other people have to say. It's YOUR body and YOUR journey and *eff* everyone else. And we love you!2
