Hi team! I haven't been able to get into the community portion of the MFP app all week via my phone. I'm posting this now on the website from my laptop. I don't know what's up with MFP lately! Anyway, I'm going to skip my weigh-in tomorrow. The fluid retention has been bad this week. I've been drinking lots of water (64 oz or more most days). I've been taking my blood pressure meds faithfully, one of which is part diuretic. So I'll look at my macros from this week to see what so different from previous weeks. I hate it when my feet, ankles, legs, and hands swell.
Is the end of this month's challenge next Saturday, July 4th?2 -
@jugar Thanks for the tiara! I've never had one. And for all your kind words and support. They mean a lot
We headed out to golf early today since it was forecast to get quite warm. But then in the afternoon when it was hot I got zero accomplished. Heat just drains me of all my energy.
We just got in from the hot tub - it is firefly season. So magical to sit and soak and watch them blinking around the yard.4 -
So funny thing happened in the past few days since I decided to get rest days in and not push so hard to get so many steps.. My RHR went down 6 bpm - went from 74 which was really good considering when I started this journey back in sept, it was mid 80's... today it is 68.. I guess it's possible to do too much even though it is low impact...
I made a drs appt today, I've been getting headaches everytime I exercise, and it's a new thing so I am just going to have it checked out, plus I wanna get her to send me for my blood check up... ( trying to get it all done before my deductible starts over...lol )
Steps for 6/25 = 7500 + 30 min of pilates

I can't get in on the app either, but I can access through the web browser on my phone. Plus I've been having huge problems just adding foods or changing numbers. It's been a bad week for this app.1 -

No problem - I will not declare anyone NWI this week since there have been SO many problems getting on the site from phones or tablets.
Yes, this is the END of the June challenge tomorrow! New month on Sunday. Keep well!!!!!

Well done! I had your top weight at the beginning of the month at 189 - you have lost 7 pounds this month! I like that it is been steady after an initial larger loss, and one pound a week is a completely reasonable rate. You'll be in the 170s soon

This last week has been my first week off from work and I think the scale shows that having less stress is helpful! 😊👍
I will need some time to catch up on the chat since I am way behind. I really missed you guys and the support I get from the group!
I have been eating pretty well and walking, biking and doing my ballet workouts this week. I need to get my steps up. I get about 7k a day and I think it should be higher for sure. This Saturday I am doing a challenge for 10k steps by the end of the day.4 -
@Terytha Bummer about the Tummy troubles. I just took my son in to the allergist for his tummy troubles and he was diagnosed with fructose malabsorption which is basically a sugar allergy in a sense. It is actually very common and lots of people never figure out that they have this issue. It is a bit of trial and error to figure out how much sugar you can get away with. It has helped him a ton!3

Thank you! I've already had a spanner thrown in the works, it looks as if I may have to help with a boat delivery on Sunday, it's a 660 mile journey so I'll be away for a week. If I stick with my submitted starting weight, I should be back be the first weeks weigh-in so hopefully all will work out OK.
Thanks for the warm welcome!
OK - we'll let you off the hook if you post amazing stories about your journey, right? Have a great time!
Certainly! If anybody is interested, I'll add some pictures, assuming the app lets me!4 -
The new JULY chat thread is open! Go ahead over and update your introduction, and new people please provide an introduction! It is always interesting to know where you are, what your weight loss journey and goals might be, and anything else you are comfortable sharing. Names are fun, but we can live without them!
Please keep posting your weigh-ins for today and tomorrow HERE. And general chitchat continues here until Sunday.
Tally ho!

We went to the gym for the first time since the end of February shut down.
I'm not even level one anymore. I'm like, level -2. I'm honestly crushed by how weak I am, how much progress I've lost.

You will be equally amazed by how quickly you can get strength back. Been there - it really does come back fast with consistent work! Wear the cape. And don't sweat the tough beginning. You are there and you got this!3 -
Well, Friday is closing up shop here -
Weigh-ins due for today and tomorrow - hope you can get on the site! or send it to me by message.

Yay I'm finally able to get on here again! MFP has been giving me trouble.
@jugar thank you! Yes my bicycle is working and I went for a ride, it felt really great. I will post the ride stats in addition to my weekly step count at the end of Saturday or early Sunday.
Eating has been okay, could be better, could be worse. I'm trying to decide how to proceed, I feel like I need a big change in my eating but I'm not sure what exactly. Something to motivate and have a good impact on the scale. There's so much conflicting data on various eating patterns and diets and it's hard to decide what may be right for me. I do know I've had most success in the past when I get my daily calories at or below 1400, but lately I'm struggling just to keep it below 1600. Hmmm.2 -
I too was having issues getting into MFP community yesterday. Everything else worked except this lol I literally told my husband I was going to throw my phone. It’s so nice to hear it wasn’t just me !!! Sorry it’s a day late @jugar im adding you now
