    Weigh Day Thursday
    PW: 216.8 (from two weeks ago)
    CW: 225.0
    Ohhh the gains--🤨
    So much easier than the losses.
    I had some sort of bug (COVID negative) and pretty much used it as an excuse to take two weeks off logging and working out--and this is the result. Time to turn it around!

    @888Angie888 You can do this! Setbacks happen to all of us - and it's likely it's mostly water weight - just get right back on plan and the weight will go away.

    @lindamtuck2018 please excuse me from Weigh ins for a bit. I still have tubes in.
    Stress eating and emotion eating are hard. I am there with those of you going thru it. Between my stress prior to surgery and now my forced idleness I am snacking constantly. I am terrified about gaining a lot of weight right after getting my skin removed. Keep fighting, everyone. You deserve to be happy.

    Good evening everyone.
    Calories 2150 or close. Snacking and larger meals. I hate this inactivity. I have to figure something out quick.

    Awesome exercise day! I have a referral to a plastic surgeon. Might take awhile to get an appointment. In Canada, everything is a wait when it comes to specialist. Right now it is for a breast reduction to help with my back and shoulder but I am going to ask her about my belly apron, my arm wings and thighs.

    @888Angie888
    Get back to what you were doing before you got sick. You were losing weight so I positive you will when you are back on track.

    @rwood566
    I will note you as excused. Let me know when you are ready to weigh again. I know you used walking as a way to avoid snacking and this is not something you can do. Are you able to do mini walks around your house? Maybe walk for 5 minutes until the snack urge is gone.

    You are doing so great with your steps! What do you do each day to hit your step goal? Also, thanks!

    @peng123
    Thanks. I was surprised when I stood on the scale. It was a bad week of eating but the last two days have been on point. Amazing jog! Are you doing your volunteer work this weekend?

    Steps: 6944
    Exercise: lots of mini walks

    My husband had his doctor appointment this morning and I went with him. The doctor said there are a few things that could cause the positive test but if it’s cancer it will be caught early. We both feel relieved. He will get the colonoscopy within 6 weeks. Hopefully, my binges are behind me for awhile.

    My daughter and son in law have tested positive for Covid. My granddaughter is still testing negative and I hope it stays that way after spending the day with her. My son-in-law was here twice yesterday but wasn’t here long. We dropped off some cold medics and snacks for my granddaughters.

    I think today will be another mini walk day as I am super tired. 😴 Sorry for the book.

    Happy FriYAY!
