WEIGHT NO MORE Team Chat - July 2020

Hello all & Happy Sunday! It’s very hot here today, close to 90 & humid. I’m debating if I’m going to go for a bike ride or just do my DVD.
I’m feeling really good with my weight-loss! The scale keeps moving on the right direction! My clothes are fitting so much better. I bought a few things yesterday & loved how everything looked! Makes all my hard work worth it!
Been really sticking to 18:6 IF & following my WW points during my eating window. I’ve been drinking an Isagenix Shake as my first meal. I did a 2 day cleanse last week using their products, I lost 4 pounds during the cleanse & was able to keep it off!
Back to work tomorrow after my 2 weeks off, not so happy about it, but lucky to have a stable job.
Have a great day! Enjoy the rest of the weekend!😊🥰4 -

CW 251.5 (114.1 kg)
Not surprising. I have been under calories all week but no exercise, and have had migraines and nerve pain all week. My body doesn't cope well with constant pain. But I know there are weeks like this, and they pass. My weight will go down again when it is ready to. It's actually Monday morning here and I am at work - the pain isn't too bad today. I can function at least.5 -

A great come back from last weeks 0.2 gain! Not sure how I pulled that off because I felt like I didn't do so good, well guess I was wrong! Ome day I had a large cookie with a few other sweets after that, so I didn't do terrible, but still didn't think I did well enough to have this 2.2lb loss! Not complaining, just confused, lol.
I'm still having quite a bit of sciatic pain. My legs are starting tk throb with pain even when I'm just lying in bed. Last night I had so many crazy dreams, well when my legs started hurting a lot so I even had a dream where I was back in a wheelchair! Ugh, it really sucked. My Dr. Wrote me a script to do PT again. My Clinician said I have to wear a mask the whole time I do PT and I don't really know what my problem is with wearing them...Everyone does so it's not like I have some bad disease where I'm the only one that has to wear one around everyone...But even with everyone else wearing them, it makes me super uncomfortable wearing mine. So I told her I don't know about doing PT because of that. With the pain getting worse, I just hope it stops and stays where it is or gets better instead of worse. 😔
Love you all! 🥰🖤💜3 -

This week I feel more motivated well atleast right now . I have been eating well and getting in my walks in . This week I walked 17.78 miles !3 -
Woke up this morning and rode 102 miles on my road bike, just one of those days, needed to get alone with my feelings, work *kitten* out in my head, ect. ....I cant possible eat another bite today (Consumed 4,000 cal, have 5,000 remaining) My bum hurts a little, taint funny!
Anyway, I closed out my food log for the day and MFP says that if everyday were like today I would weigh 160.2 lbs in 5 weeks, currently 219 (That would 11.8 lbs a week!)
Now I may not know much, but I know this......... Every day is NOT going to be like this! lol
Oh, and I got called into work for 3:30 this afternoon, so I'm basically going to die here!
Have a great week Fam!6 -
Check in for the last few days
Friday
I ended up having to work so I slept all day. (Friday night is really Saturday for 3rd shift). Got in 64 oz of water, got in a 30 minute workout. Was over on food but not too bad.
Saturday
I slept a few hours in the morning. Only 48 oz of water, 45 minute light workout.
I knew I was going to do something with one of my friends. I've seen more of her cat in the last few weeks than I have of her. She's been helping out with family out of town and I've been checking on her cat for her. Her dog was going to doggie day care because she was gone longer and it would be too hard for me to watch him and work.
We decided to get takeout. She wanted something from a different restaurant than I did. I got one of my favorite meals (without the dessert), chicken, roasted potatoes, broccoli and side salad. I even ate my meal slowly.
Sunday
72 oz of water today. I haven't counted my food today but I know I'm over. It's my brother-in-law's birthday today and I was at my sister's for dinner and knew I would be over but that's ok. I purposely made sure I didn't go overboard the last few days and I'm planning on not going over anymore this week. I got in a 30 minute workout. I "ran", it was actually more walking than running. I set a timer for 5 minutes. I don't know what my heart rate was but it sure felt like it was pumping. Then I did some resistance band exercises and some bodyweight exercises.6 -

Great stepping. Could I confirm that Sunday is 1,445, please? Totally okay if it is, but wondering if it's 14,45_ or some other variation. If so, I'll update your weekly total. Thanks!

The next four days are going to be challenging. I’ll be spending all day each day working at a supplier rather than at home, and the kids are going to camp. With extra drive time, extra “getting ready time” (aka makeup!), and having to pack my food every night, it’s going to be tough to have enough time for exercise. And then while at my supplier, it’s going to be hard to stay on my normal eating schedule (breakfast around 9:30 and lunch around 2:30h because I don’t want to eat throughout our meetings, especially since i have to wear a mask the entire time. I’m dreading the next four days. Wish me luck!5

Great check-in, Linda. I love how you fit in working out with a busy schedule of work and visiting. That's a lot of planning and strategizing for success. I'm inspired. Have a great week ahead!2 -

Good luck, Kristie! I hope all the extra activity equals more natural steps and calorie burn so that shorter exercises here and there make for a successful week. You’ve got this.

Great day yesterday and the heat wave broke somewhat this weekend, which was nice. Our child free weekend was great and we ended things off last night by binge watching Fleabag, an Amazon show that I kept trying to find the time to watch. The kids are getting on very well at my mom’s and will stay through to the weekend. I will join them on Thursday, while my husband gets back to cottage renos on the weekend. I am taking a day off today, no working in my office, no big list of things to do around the house.
@jedaschultz - I am sorry that you had a bad week, and I hope that things get better this week.
@KristieJC - Good loss and LTD! I hope that you get through this stressful time at work ok and it sounds like you a plan in place. @jedaschultz is correct about the “gear” icon in the top right corner. If you hit that and select edit, you can edit your post in the first hour that it is up.
@1thersamcvean - Yup, it is amazing how chores and to do’s can amount to a lot of steps and a good calorie burn. Have you heard the news that our province is making an announcement today that we are moving to Phase 3? It is unclear if it is the entire province, or if we will take a regional approach again. The new/active case numbers and hospitalizations are low, and many regions are reporting zero cases. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but this is very exciting, even if Toronto is not included today. It means almost everything can open again with appropriate measures in place. It also give me a lot of hope that some form of in person school will take place in September. Just watching PM Trudeau’s news conference now regarding the Student Grant and WE charity controversy. On a different note, he cut his hair and it looks like his lockdown beard is sticking around!
@hope002 - You are beautiful in both photos, but the top photo is just so striking to me. You look so fit, confident and lovely. I love clothes as well, and you are wearing the heck out of that dress! What an amazing NSV!
@tryingagain5 - You are doing great, and please keep up your posts as you can! I love that you did a run yesterday, not matter how brief it felt. It can take a while to build or rebuild that cardio strength. I remember that I took a break from running for around 2 years after my second son was born. I had to take it really slow in the beginning. I attempted to run 9 minutes and walk 1 minute, but I had to do something like 2 minutes running, 2 minutes walking. I took me a while to build up from there.
@kumecyclingteam - What a ride, congratulations! I love how you point out the mental health benefits to exercise, in addition to the physical. It’s amazing that you had a 4000 calorie intake and still had 5000 left over! Hope that you survived work ok as well.
@bburrer30 - Fantastic walking, wtg! So happy that you are motivated and keep it up!
@CassieGetsFit2013 - Great loss! It is hard to know some weeks, why we lose or gain, but in any event, you did great! PT for your sciatic injury would be really helpful. Sciatica really caused me a lot of problems in 2019 and PT was essential for me to get mobile again. I know that masks are not ideal, but maybe purchase a few different kinds to find one that you are comfortable with.
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx - Sorry that your migraines and nerve pain are continuing. Glad that you could function better on Monday. You are right that this too shall pass, and there will be good weeks and losses again.
@mrsbell8well - Lovely chart! The goal zone and new goal zone thread are waiting for you!
@kristen11872 - You are doing great and thanks for sharing about your IF, WW and cleanse.

check in for Sunday
Food-logged and on target
Water-80 oz
Exercise- 2-20 min walks with dogs, PT and cleaning
Impressive week Team Weight No More! Congrats to all the winners(losers) this week!
It is such a good feeling when you get things accomplished! Today I am working outside, I still have things stored from the winter. We have been taking things out as we need them. It will be nice to have that all organized. For some reason getting things in order help me with my weight loss goals. I just seem to be more productive all around. Let's have an awesome week everyone!
@GingerPwr Congrats on hitting goal! I am glad you will be able to unplug and relax! Enjoy!
@lenka1 I know you are used to going full strength with your workouts. I promise you that you will be back there. It is hard when you have little ones but as your baby gets older, you will find ways to get to where you were. I think you have a good plan for now with getting swimming in with the girls and slowing down a bit. You are doing great and I know that you will never give up!
@ljdanny I hope you enjoyed your Sunday with your family at the pool. It is hard to get steps in when it is so hot and humid. I did well with steps this week because I was cleaning but who the heck wants to do that Lol!
@Cafelelia Sounds like you had a nice dinner even with the rain. I think it will be good for the boys to stay at your Moms. It will be like a vacation for them after being in so long. Hopefully your Mom would let you know if it got to be too much. The boys are probably helpful for her too. Too bad it is during these times or you and your husband could go somewhere. Enjoy your well deserved "day off" today! xo
@kirsten11872 Sounds like you made the most of your 2 weeks off. I am sure you can adapt your work life to continue with your goals. Those NSVs in addition to the scale going down make all your hard work worth it!
@Mrsbell8well And......She's back!
@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx I am glad that you are at a place that you know that you know that you will get through this flare up (not sure what to call it) and things will get better. Sending hugs your way! xo
@CassieGetsFit2013 Nice loss! Keep it going! You know what I am going to say to you about PT too right? Go!! Lol! It will be worth it not to have pain. xo
@bburrer30 Amazing steps!! I never thought to calculate into You really are doing great! Keep that motivation going!
@KUMEcyclingteam Wow! 102 miles! You had a great day yesterday! Except the getting called into work early part...You will sleep well today!
@tryingagain5 Sounds like you had a successful weekend! It also sounds like you have a good mindset for the new week. I think just getting your heart pumping that hard is great, even if you aren't running for very long. I am happy that you are doing so well.
@1theresamcvean Nice stepping there lady! Dog grooming?! What can't you do! Now I have to bring Daisy when I visit
@hope002 You look amazing! You could be a model! I was actually thinking that with the pic of you and your husband on the mountain, that could have been a magazine cover! Love the shoes too!
@KristieJC You got this! It sounds like you know what you are up against and you have a plan. Maybe the kids will be so tired after camp that you can get in a workout when they are resting. If not, keep your eating in check. You are going to come out of these 4 days successful!!
@jedaschultz It is just one week, get back on track. You can do it! I have seen you turn things around so I know you can! xo

@1theresamcvean - So 21 regions are moving to Phase 3, but not ours. The GTA and Golden Horseshoe are staying in phase 2. Our regions lagged behind the others by about 3 weeks for Phase 2, so I predict an early August move to Phase 3 for us, if numbers continue to flatten. Phase 3 means everything is open with appropriate safeguards, including restaurants and bars, and gatherings up to 100 with distancing. The 21 regions that are opening have reported no cases of the virus. Interestingly, there is no other phase beyond Phase 3, so it appears that once we get there, we will remain in that phase this until there is a vaccine. Places like casions, dance clubs, amusement parks and also activities like contact sports, remain shut down in Phase 3. The government could not answer when these activities would be allowed again, other than to say we would need a prolonged period of no cases. The government did say that they were committed to conventional schooling for September, but only if everything continues to progress well. They were very vague as to what conventional school will look like though. This is all in keeping with their very cautious approach and I am not complaining, although still stressing about schools. At least we continue to have some progress!2

I have some fun and exciting news...my mom, my daughter Robin, Molly and I are all taking the 13 week challenge to lose 13 pounds by my birthday in 13 weeks. We are each pitching in $13 to the pot for a $52 prize that will be split by the winners. Hoping we each get our $13 back as we each become "losers".6
