Hey Everyone,
Been an awful couple of weeks, but I’m back.
Wow - what on earth happened to the discussion boards? I have no idea if I’m posting to our November discussion thread or not 😂. My plan is to ease back in to things a bit. Things with my mom went downhill quite quickly. She’s across the country from me. Things have returned somewhat to normal (as normal as dementia can be), but I’m still trying to get my footing.
@jessicakrall8 please keep me on support for the next week or so, my hope is to be back in the game fully by the time the new December discussion begins. In the meantime I obviously have a ton to catch up on 😳. Any tips on how to wade through this new format?3 -

My weight for last week was 224 with a gain of 3lbs. 😭 This will be my final weigh in, I don't want to drag the team down since I'm steadily gaining. But I do want to try to be there more to cheer everyone on.
@ewilhelm2487 , I'm late seeing this, but I just wanted you to know I think I know how you feel. I was trying to lose weight before I had my second child and then life got crazy! You are doing a tough, important job right now! I wish I had been able to appreciate that more when I was going through having small children. All the craziness will pass. Please be good and kind to yourself in any way you can right now. Hugs.
Thank you so so much!! I have been so hard on myself for gaining, even though I know it's normal lol. My youngest I only gained 18lbs the whole pregnancy and so far I've already gained 10. 😑 I have maintained these last two weeks so I'm hoping it'll stay this way a little longer.0 -

I already know to cut out bacon, sausage and processed meats. I also know that weight loss and increased activity are two good actions to take...will be continuing both of those...hoping to avoid yet another prescription if I can. I see my doctor to discuss the results on Thursday.
Thanks in advance...

So I had borderline cholesterol years ago and was given 2 months to lower it or go on meds. I couldn't lower it that quick so I was put on Statins and it kept my numbers on check. When I got pregnant with my son I was so worried that my cholesterol would shoot up again but didn't. I stayed off them for over a year and had great levels. I ate a low fat, low cholesterol diet for a year. Limited all red meat (which was so hard), no high sodium foods and limited sugar. I don't recommend doing it all at once because then it leaves you with nothing to eat🤣 I lived off a vegetarian diet with chicken and that was it. Eventually I found Intermittent fasting and I started eating normal foods again but kept watching my fat and cholesterol and my last check up my numbers were perfect.
Keep your head up and just be mindful of the things you eat.1 -

Got called into work last night and it was a shift that offered incentives that added up to basically doubling my base pay, so I took it and was up late. no workout this morning, but trying to keep my steps up.
I had my body analysis done today, I missed last month and it was kind of a slap in the face. From this time last year, I am up 9.4lbs, up 11.8lbs in fat, and up 24.4cm2 of visceral fat, anything under 100 they say is good, but Im at 98.4 now and that freaked me out. Visceral fat is the fat around your organs and that freaked me out a bit, so now Ive got somewhere to "start" from1 -
@Waifer003 Deep breaths...we're all struggling through the format changes...I do like the size of the font, but that's about it...like with anything, change is hard...but you'll get it. And yes, you're in the right chatroom...LOL
@ewilhelm2487 Thank you so much for the advice. My doctor told me not to worry but keep up everything that I'm doing...she loved my increased activity, my loss of 25% of my weight and the rest of my numbers looked great...she put me on a new minor dose of a thyroid med to work on my T4s...my T3s looked great and have been stable for many years. I'm upping my fruits and veggies and limiting red meat, bacon and sausage...still going to eat my turkey sandwiches, but also eating more tuna and pimento cheese, so less deli meat for sure. My energy levels on day two of the new med is already increasing...she told me this medicine will help accelerate my weight loss. I'm all for that! Appreciate your advice!
@angmarie28 Nice loss this week!! You'll get things back on an even keel with your body ...I have faith in you!
Rough day today...and tomorrow is usually a work at home day for me, but this week, I have to go into the office...so home working on Friday...should make for a nice, relaxing lead into the weekend! Talk to you guys more tomorrow! I'm going to lie down!

Ramblings of the day
Good morning team. Nothing special to report. Made it to the gym which mostly went fine, a little dizzy. The rest of the day was okay too. It seems the naussea starts every day around 16:00. It hasn't really gotten less yet. Sleep was not great. Woke up in the middle of the night and had a hard time falling asleep again. Still barely any REM and deep sleep. Going to pick up my new dose today.
Happy Thursday everyone

Hi
Just checking in. My week has been busy, it was my oldests birthday yesterday. Still putting my house back together and cleaning from our Reno. The Reno is still not done, and they are giving us a hard time about finishing it. It was supposed to be done in late July early August.
I’ve put a picture of my daughters cake, I worked hard on it and it turned out well.

@Ssssseika I need your steps from Nov 4th to current please...we're getting way behind, but it was probably due to all the system changes...catch me up when you can and thanks! It's getting a little easier to use now...I do like the larger fonts.
