I started out at 129. My goal is 115. I was down to 124, but this week I gained a pound and I don't know why. I am eating between 900 and 100 calories a day. I am 5' tall.
I know the sedentary days are not helping, but don't know why I have gained. Any ideas would be helpful.
A pound seems to me quite within the water/salt/ bowel normal fluctuations . Even so, it is very annoying. I know I would be sctraching my head too. I also know that my body responds to two glasses of wine and to a restaurant meal that way and the extra pound disappears after a day. Drink lots of water for a day or so..
Here's a little insight into weight. I fasted from 2pm yesterday afternoon and only drank water until 11am today. I weighed myself around 7am, as I usually do and recorded it. I weighed myself again at 9:30 thinking it would be down after the longer fasting period and I had gained one pound. So, weight is finicky. Next week, you could be 2 pounds down. You can try increasing protein for a week and see what happens. I know most don't worry about macronutrients, but helped me when I was stuck.

Kelceybyers – sending good thoughts to you, saying good bye to our fur babies is never easy.

Carol- big hugs thanks
My friend who joined this group the divorcing singlemom nurse at a California base was told she passed away from Covid. Sad news. I don’t know if I should unadd her account or leave it.I messaged her this morning not knowing

@RockinMBC That looks scrumptious!!!

I prepared my 8-ball zucchini tonight by stuffing it with zucchini, onion, garlic, red bell pepper, mushroom, parsley, spices, and couscous. It was fantastic! I'm going to shred, squeeze, and freeze the "container" - the skin is not tough and will lend a good texture to whatever I decide to use it for later. And even though most of the seeds were tender enough to ignore, I managed to save a few more mature seeds, so hopefully I can grow my own heirloom 8-ball zucchinis next spring!

Clairesbubbe: Welcome!
Karen: Your stuffed eight-ball zucchini looks very yummy.
(((Kelcey))): I am sorry you’ve lost your sweet dog. Our fur-babies bring so much companionship and happiness to our lives.
I’ve done the shopping and I’m happy to be home. All but one person in the grocery store was wearing a mask. That person was old enough to know better. I am old enough to keep my opinion to myself at the store, but I'm glad I can complain about it with all of you. Thank you for putting up with my grumbles.

I've also been encouraged by the recent mask wearing compliance. It's such a small thing. Like you, though, I don't say anything when people aren't wearing one. Once we get such a high percentage, one or two out of a grocery store full, doesn't pose as much of a threat.

I was so disappointed to hear that news this morning. While I didn't know him as an actor, I had been following his story. So very tragic.

Cheri[/b] – maybe they have a stronger bonding material for your crown?
Michele NC
The dentist tried 3 times to secure it. She finally decided to take a new mold and get a new crown made. I had it put in today. So fingers crossed it stays put. That tooth has had a root canal. Not much tooth left to attach crown to. Hoping this works.

Welcome... to the new ladies!
Heather ... I have no problem picking out paint color ... every wall in our home is white. I occasionally go through periods where I think I want to change things up, but then I get ahold of myself, remember who I am, and stick with white!
Fireworks ...our neighbors ... ironically, a large number of whom are in law enforcement ... have put off fireworks in their yards every year. This year was no exception. They don't bother me, but I can see where they could be problematic for pets ... although all of my dogs over the years have been pretty laid back about them.
Kelsey ... such a hard thing, to say goodbye to your pet. It's not clear from your post how old your son is, but I'm sure that time will eventually help heal his pain over his loss. My younger son, now 22, sobbed with me last year when his beloved lab had to be put down.
The 4th was my birthday and it was a good day. Younger son called through FaceTime, my parents called on the landline and sang happy birthday and my older son and husband took me out to Dairy Queen for a requested Blizzard ... raspberry with fudge pieces!
However, too much sugar has given me a surge in knee inflammation, so back at it.

Beth - we rented most of our married life and had only apartment beige for colours. When we moved into our first house I painted most of the walls different colours. It lasted two years before I changed it and made the majority of the walls a cream colour. When we moved here I painted the main areas the same cream. It just goes well with anything.
Happy Belated birthday.
I worked today after a very sleepless night last night. When I did sleep I had disturbing dreams. Hopefully tonight I’ll sleep better.
I had a long chat with my best friend tonight. I miss her terribly. This is the first year since I think 2011 that we haven’t been able to sneak a visit in somehow. Hopefully next year.
Today is our daughters 1st anniversary, that year went so fast. Now I am anxiously awaiting grand babies from them. I’ve been told a couple more years.

Cheri: Good wishes for your crown to settle in for the long run, and for you to feel better.
Beth: HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Sorry I’m a bit slow.:flowerforyou: Your story reminds me of an old family tradition from my childhood days. My Dad’s Uncle Amos was born on the fourth of July. We had a huge family picnic and birthday party at Bush’s Pasture Park in Salem, OR. The family tradition continued for many years, often at other Salem parks. The food was fabulous and there were always many cousins to play with.

Beth Happy Birthday!1

Karen VA – good use of that zucchini. I would never have thought of something like that
Ran to WalMart to get pork chops for Steve to make tomorrow. Jess came home.
Katla – maybe I’m just getting old and crochety, but when I saw someone at WM not wearing a mask, I started to get a little bit angry. I hate wearing it, too, but I do it. If anything, for others.
Beth – happy belated birthday

Michele: I wasn't happy when the man wasn't following the mask rules at the grocery store, but I wasn't angry or upset. He was elderly, seemed to be unsure of himself, & was absolutely clueless about appropriate mask etiquette. I gave him a wide berth and stayed a safe distance away. Last week there were many such people. Today it was only him. I count that as progress. :flowerforyou:4

Hi everyone!
My profile pic (me in a wheelchair after having my right knee reconstructed) shows me at my highest weight of 335 lbs. I was successful last time I was on MFP but then I stopped using it, getting down to 220 lbs. Now I'm 314.2 lbs and ready to try again. I've been trying but having some difficulty staying focused, hoping accountability and support will help me stay on track. This is my first time using "community" so hoping it helps.
Age/Name: 52/Marie
SW: 314.2
CW: 314.2
GW: 145
Goals for July: 1-eat 180 carbs max daily.
2-walk or use Leslie Sansone dvd at least 3x weekly.
Covid-19 has slowed down our purchase of some land and so we are delayed for our move. Our 1st closing date was March 23. Our 2nd closing date was June 19th. Our new closing date is August 10th. Hoping this time it's for real. It's a bit stressful waiting.
Well, its certainly hot enough here in Florida.
Hoping all is well with each of you.5 -
Karen,
the squash looks great.
Kim0 -
Kim It was divine. I cut the 8-ball rind into strips and popped them into my dehydrator overnight to remove part of the moisture. They'll get used up in scrambled eggs and a stir-fry today and tomorrow. The rind is surprisingly tender and mild. A very nice summer squash indeed. I am a fan!
Beth. Happy Birthday July 4th, you firecracker, you!!!

Welcome Marie from Florida! I have been here nearly 8 years now. I haven't quite stayed on the straight and narrow, but it's been a great help.
You can do it because you are ready to do it.
It could be an idea to do a few things sitting down as well. I do some dumbbell exercises sitting on the edge of my bed. Saves the knees!
Courage!

Karen - Love your squash! Yum! 2 -
Kelcey My heart goes out to you, it's never easy putting a beloved pet to sleep. We are going to have to do this soon with our cat Logan, he's only 9 yrs but has intestinal cancer. He's holding his own at the moment, but realise that once his quality of life isn't good, we'll have to bite the bullet, no matter how hard, it is going to be. We owe it to him to be strong and do what is right.
Sending love
