    I think a smaller gain is not unexpected as you both had a really big loss last week and your increase in activity. The pain(inflammation) would be another contributor. Make sure you listen to the pain and not overdo it. On occasion I have pushed further than I should have and ended up having a few days of uncontrollable which sidelined me. Congratulations on your sobriety anniversary! That is a huge accomplishment.

    @28Haveitall2020
    Glad to see you back! I hope the team helps you on this journey.

    Binges frustrate me too. I had a big jump on the scale yesterday morning from mine. Some of the bloat is gone today. Do you log your binges? My dietitian asked me to log them so I can go back over the logs to see if there is any patterns. From doing this I know a skipped meal will almost always cause a binge.

    @red1185
    I am sure you burned a ton of calories. I think when I was watching the different New Year’s Eve shows, Ryan Seacrest was cheering the dawgs on.

    @rwood566
    I am a betting woman. I think it will be 15k or above. Also, thanks I have that song stuck in my head now. Enjoy your day!

    @jayenguk
    Fantastic loss! Hooray for the holiday bloat disappearing.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970
    👏👏👏👏 on a line!

    @peng123
    Don’t be frustrated as you had almost a pound loss. There are so many factors that affect the scale: sodium, hydration, going to washroom, inflammation etc.

    Words to describe my walk outside yesterday: freezing, refreshing, short. I am sure I earned bonus calories from shivering. It’s much warmer today so I am going to do it again. The mini walks plus just normal movement around the apartment has helped me reach my step goal each day. I was able to fall asleep last night which helped with nighttime eating. Hope tonight is the same.

    Happy Hump Day!

    Good morning everyone, Sorry I haven't been posting, I've been dealing with some health issues related to my eyes. Had cataract surgery on the right eye a few days ago and I've been having trouble looking a the tablet screen and reading.

    However, it's starting to get a little better and I'll try to post more often.

    01/09. I don’t wear a step tracker and didn’t exercise that day. Sat around or slept.

    01/12. 40 minutes treadmill, 2.32 mi
    40 minutes strength training light effort

    Released from physical therapy and got some strength training advice and form check before I left. Yesterday in “NSV” thread posted that I could finally exercise in front of others without being embarrassed. Today found out that the guy I’m sharing the gym with is a competitive bodybuilder. Good thing didn’t find out until after the fact, so embarrassed but it didn’t kill me so will be back at it tomorrow.

    Hi guys, back from my mini break. It was lovely but I put on 4.2lbs in 4 days!! Ugh, I really didn't eat that much, I think it was purely from alcohol. So pissed that it took me 3 weeks to lose that much and only 4 days for it to go back on. Ho hum, back to it we go.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 could you let me know what day the week starts so i can start posting my steps again please. ta

    Good evening everyone. Made it back home safely. We spent 7 1/2 hours there and I drove 2 hours each way. I am bushes.
    Check in for 1/12:
    Steps - 13730. I had a lot more but I had my hands in my pockets or was carrying bags and not swinging my arm.
    Calories - I logged 1710 but it is a huge guess. I did log everything I ate though. Very little snacking today. Only bad thing was my water intake.
    Exercise - the park was enough. I wound up with 266 minutes with a high pulse. Almost all of it was standing in lines and my body not liking it. However, a high pulse is a high pulse. I am very curious about the scale the next couple days.

    I am glad it was nice. Don’t sweat the weight as most of it is water weight. You should see it drop fairly quickly. Are you finished the shakes?

    I bet your tired. You have to be proud of how far you came. Is this your first time at Disney since you have lost weight? Can you do the rides now? You are looking very fit and healthy.

    That looks amazing! What type of salad is it?

    @28Haveitall2020
    TOM could very well be the culprit.

    I managed 33 minutes of exercise yesterday. I think 7 minutes of that my Apple Watch logged as exercise when I was vacuuming and preparing supper. I behind on everything today as I slept late and have been on the phone a lot. Did some mini walks while on the phone. I am off to prep supper. We are having spinach ravioli with mushroom and sausage. I have the salad made already. It’s one of my favourite meals. 🤤

    Have a super day!
