    Happy Tuesday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:

    3/7:
    Calories: 1,182
    Exercise: 60 minutes elliptical and 30 minutes strength training
    Steps: 11,731

    I had a great exercise day yesterday and I continue to avoid sweets. I am now in Stockholm, Sweden. My NSV for today is: I completely overslept this morning and was running way behind - but - I made my exercise a priority and still did it!

    @MOMWILLWIN66 You are definitely posting correctly and the great news is that you lost some weight - great job!!

    @jimboden3 You have the right attitude - definitely stay long-term focused!

    @rwood566 Awesome exercise!!

    I hope you are all having a great day!!

    Sorry to see you drop out :/ ...Linda can put you on the support team so that you can still post with our team but your weight will not count while you are on the support team

    Weigh In Day: Tuesday
    PW: 134.4
    CW: 140.8

    Those negative thoughts were like a bomb going off. While not sure that have completely dealt with the cause have cheered up by refocusing on goals and taking a look back over the last 2 years. Celebrated my 2 year anniversary today by cleaning out my closets and dresser then donating the clothes, shoes and books.

    Could someone please tell me how to start a new thread using an iphone? Haven’t been able to figure it out since MFP updated?

    Will resume intentional exercise tomorrow now that the clutter is out of my mind.

    I will read all the post tomorrow. I did a quick scan but didn’t read them. I made a good choice at the restaurant. I picked the grilled chicken fajitas. The menu said they were 710 calories. Not sure if I trust that but I didn’t eat it all. Night all!

    I shoveled snow for 30 minutes, moderate yesterday, but have not recorded intentional exercise despite being active cleaning and running errands. Will resume tracking exercise tomorrow since have personal business and negative thoughts taken care of Weather has been weird here as it was 65 degrees Saturday, in the 30s Sunday and had a tornado Sunday night, then snow on Monday which melted today.

    Figured out how to post in the Success forum. It is up if anyone cares to read it. Apologize for it being long and rambling as still feel grief for Kevin and kind of lost it while writing.

    Sorry I’ve not posted lately.

    I weighed myself last Saturday and got kind of discouraged. Plus I’ve had bad headaches lately. I had to go to urgent care today and get a shot of tordol in the butt bc the headache was so bad. I know I can do this but it’s hard. I honestly don’t know if I’m eating enough or too much. Just confused and discouraged.

    So @lindamtuck2018 I did weigh myself last Saturday 3/5: 156.8

    And @Megan_smartiepants1970
    2/27 8,665
    2/28 7,682

    @Beautyofdreams It sounds like you have been having a tough time - I'm so sorry - it's so impressive that you have been able to regroup and focus on your goals
