Good evening everyone. Time for another camel to walk thru your work spaces.
@lindamtuck2018 we saw 'the last duel'. Definately not for the younger crowd, squeamish.
Check in for 10/26:
Steps - 7368. Lots of window shopping. Hit a mall I haven't been to in a very long time. It is a dead one with a lot of empty stores.
Calories - 1675. P.f.chang for lunch. Refused to eat all of mine, even though it was really good.
Exercise - arm exercises with dumbbells. Want to hit a walk or gym tomorrow.2 -
@tahm42
Glad to hear that. The pool is great. It is one of the reasons we picked the apartment building we are living in. It is a decent size pool.
@WTGNicole
New scales do that sometimes. What is the omada health program?
@Bluetail6
That’s a fantastic burn!
@amymartin555
You have some amazing steps in there.
@rwood566
Window shopping is so much fun! Nice steps!1 -

I am still tired but I am going to the pool. I need to get some stretching done. I also have to get housework done today as I pretty well have done nothing for 3 days. Send me some energy lovely teammates.
Happy Hump Day!

I've decided not to participate in the November challenge. I was mostly going to do it, because my friend Kitty2Kats2 wanted me to join, so we could help motivate each other. Now that she's not going to do it, I've had a change of heart and will try again if she ever decide to rejoin the group. Sorry for any inconveniences I've caused. Thank you!5 -

Time to reflect again! What did you struggle with this month? How can you improve on this in November?
Thinking I have it all figured out, weight-loss wise. How I can improve on this in November, is going back to the questions I asked myself when I first started really using MFP, last year. I have very high expectations of myself. Please don't confuse this with anything related to perfection. I am very driven and I have achieved a lot of success by holding myself accountable. I'm just making sure I don't get too complacent in the weight-loss arena.😉 I am a firm believer in getting to the root of why I gained weight and stayed overweight for so long. For some it could be as simple as hand-to-mouth (mindless eating). For others, maybe not. For me, it was a combination of mindless eating and straight-up stress.
I thought I would post some of the questions here:
1) Am I really/truly hungry?
2) If no, I ask myself, "Is food going to solve my problem?"
3) If no, I ask myself, "What is it that I really need in/at this moment?"
4) To start that project I've been putting off, movement, water, etc.

So I wasn't entirely convinced by the accuracy of the manual scales I was using and I found it hard to read which line it was on. Went out and bought some digital scales and they just added 4.6 lbs to my weight 😭 pretty soul destroying but at least I'll have an accurate weight going forward. When I start in Nov what do I need to include in the daily check-in posts?5

@Megan_smartiepants1970 & @lindamtuck2018
All day I have felt bad about quitting the challenge before it even started.
If it's not too late, I'd like to do the November challenge and see if I can do it by myself. If it's not too late! If possible please allow me to stay in the November challenge and in Downsizer group.
Thank you, either way you decide. Blue7 -
@Bluetail6 I ask those same questions. Sometimes I ask them standing in the pantry 😅. Waiting 15min and a glass of water also help when trying to decide if I am truly hungry.3

Finally made it back down to normal weight. We have rain storms all week but was able to slip out yesterday when it stopped for a walk.
Hard getting used to being back at a desk all day and not a lot of time to myself before or after work since I have the kids with me.5 -
Hello everyone
I'm a new member for the November challenge and I'm looking forward to it. I'm from Sydney so you'll probably see posts from me during some odd hours :-). A bit of background, I joined MFP in early 2015 and over the course of 15 months went from 112kg down to 84kg which is a loss of 28kg/62lb for those across the pond.
I only stopped my health journey ironically on Dr's orders after I had a complicated pregnancy via IVF (the exercise was a no go but with that gone I didn't really care about food). I have a beautiful 4 year old and he better watch out, mumma is getting fit again
.
Pic of my weight loss graph from Jan15 to Apr 16 to remind me that I've done it once, I can do it again.
