    Comments: I ate almost all of my 1200 calories today. I usually leave 150 on the table. I'm in more pain than I'm used to. I need to figure out how to eat around the pain, because it might be around for a while. If it lasts for more than four weeks I will go to the doctor.

    I had a NSV today. I put on a Jacket that I have not worn for almost 2 years and it was loose on me. A few months ago I thought I needed to buy a bigger jacket.

    Hope speedy recovey. Dress size down is tremendous achievement 👏 ...well done.

    PW: 482.7
    CW: 493.2

    Goals/Comment:     I had a bad weekend. I let the death of my nephew get to me by binge eating. Well that's okay it happens and now I'm moving forward back on track. I got on the scale yesterday weigh 495lbs but I wasn't beating myself up, don't get me wrong yes I'm disappointed in myself, but I refuse to beat myself up about it. As my doctor said yesterday 3 days this time versus 3 months like last time. One of my coping mechanisms in the future will be to use the crisis hotline (800) 273-8255 instead of eating. Super excited this morning to see I've already lost 2lbs and I made 5000 steps yesterday for the 1st time yay! So you see you just got get back on track and keep pushing.

    Thanks dear. We are humans and its normal for weight to fluctuate . I was in your state as you are now that too three times in my life and over ate and ate till I gained 20kgs that is 40 pounds because it was comforting for my heart and mind but now I'm doin my best to fight my weight down and kept myself active and 😊 happy. You can do it too...keep goin..

    Comments: I got my new eyeglasses today and the driving / reading are fine but the I can't see a thing with the computer glasses, so they will talk to the doctor tomorrow and call me back. My pain level is worse today. When I got the second Covid shot, it made me hurt like crazy for 2 months. I just want comfort food!! I stayed under my calorie goal today which was very hard to do. Nobody said this would be easy....

    Exercise no. We did make a little patio with pavers. I was careful as not to hurt my leg more than it already is. But I’m finding it feels better the less I sit all day.

    @vicky2767 There is a thing that's called "Active Rest" which means that while you're healing you're still moving. It helps in many cases, by getting the blood moving which speeds up recovery. There is a balance though, you can over do it, but usually walking is a great recovery tool, especially for legs.
    Thank you Ashley. My leg is feeling much better. I got up and moved but I also let my leg tell me it’s time to stop. Plus I slept with a heating pad on my leg. Think this helped too.

    Wednesday weigh in
    Previous weight 184.5

    How can I gain 8.5lbs in a week? Same time same scale. I had to check 3 times. This is so depressing. My clothes fit the same. This sucks.
    This happens to all of us. Don’t beat yourselves up about it. Hugs.

    It’s tough to loss a loved one especially the way you did. Hang in there. Glad you have a plan for next time you need it. And I’m so proud you are not beating yourself up over it.

    Here's a question that I'm hoping somebody can answer: what happens when one reaches their goal and no longer wants to lose more weight (I mean AFTER the happy dance and the buying of new underwear that actually fits!)? Is there another group somewhere for maintainers? I don't want to stay in the group and (hopefully) post the same weight week after week. I'm still somewhere between 16 and 22 pounds from my final destination but thinking about it cheers me up and keeps me from turning all of those frozen bananas into chocolate "nice cream."

    @chublet25 I did see a group titled at maintenance and maintaining, but when I tried to find it again it was not on the first 3 pages. Maybe a new group will start up again. But that is a good question, once we reach maintenance do we give up our admittance in the 30 day weight loss challenge group?

    Good question. You are so close. Hope you find a maintenance group, I’m sure there has to be ones out there. If I see any I will pass it along.

    @chublet25 You can stay in the group and still participate but your weight won't count toward the groups total, this is what we call the Cheer Squad. I think it's important (and a lesson I learned) that when you get to your goal weight, you should still pay attention to it and not just go crazy (also a lesson I learned) so I encourage you to either stay with us on the cheer squad or even find a group that is all about maintenance. We're happy to have you if you want to stay with us and cheer us on when you get to your goal.

    Comments: I have been eating good foods, just too much of it. And for most of the week my weight remained pretty stable so I was not worried about it, but at the same time I have to realize that it's not going to help me change my weight if I keep doing the same things over and over when I need to change them to actually change, so I am working on reminding myself that is necessary and much to my surprise, my weight responded right away to actually sticking to the plan yesterday so I guess I should take that as a sign.
