Mental health is becoming a lot more talked about and open nowadays, certainly within the UK, I don't know where you live, but you may want to try again to get some support? You will certainly get empathy from this group if getting things off your chest helps; never be afraid to bring it to the fore with us x.
Awe thanks @musicsax. I live in the US and while our society becomes more accepting and open to mental health I have to say we still have a long ways to go. I am part of a support group but at times I feel it does more to trigger me than help. I appreciate the understanding, just needed to vent a little.

I hope you are able to find some help soon! It's not easy, I imagine. We are here for you, though! Sending lots of love your way
Thanks @CamandJarvis! Sometimes you just gotta vent. You are a sweetheart & I value your words of encouragement. Congratulations on knocking all of the job stuff off your list before vacay.

Round 189 ( my 121th). Thanks @QuiltingJaine.
I've enjoyed the Queen's platinum jubilee weekend, but that is now over, many of my clothes are beginning to feel a little uncomfortable, no way do I want to get into the sprial of buying the next size bigger clothes, I'd like to lose a couple of pounds this round, but any is a loss!!!!Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, It's took me 75 rounds to achieve my under 130 target; back to maintenance again!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back under 130. A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.6/5 DNW – 7.86 miles walked yesterday dodging rain showers!! Jubilee party this afternoon. Congrats to Her Majesty.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 141.6 – oh dear !! That is my highest weight since I started these rounds (round 69) ! As you can see I did celebrate Her Majesty's platinum jubilee and I did enjoy it. But now is the time to move on. Not only that I am starting to drop behind with my walking daily average goal; one of the reasons is my temp. seasonal part time job, but enough of the excuses, lets move on and make this round count!
6/7 140.4 - 9.2 miles walked, good food choices, a third of exercise calories eaten back.
6/8 139.6 – good to see the 130's again! 7 miles walked, no exercise calories eaten back, 11g carbs over.

Good Morning Everyone, It's looking like a good day in central MD where I live. The humidity is down which makes outdoor exercise more enjoyable. I am always amazed at how much better I feel when my nutrition is on target--energy is better, mood is better.
I'm sure life will send me something to rock my boat--as it often does--yet I'm learning to use my tools and stay in touch with my goals. Progress, not perfection.

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 184.8 SW. I'm feeling better after a week back on MFP, eating well and exercising. Just adjusted my macros for higher protein and continuing with exercise routine. Walking, cycling and strength training are my go to's. Love reading everyone's comments and encouragements.
6/7 183.6 Always nice to see the scale go down, but remembering that there will be little ups and downs all week.....Busy day at work, and have a bike ride with dear husband after work to look forward to.
6/8- 183.6 It rained yesterday so the bike ride didn't happen, but I did 45 minutes of Jessica Smith workouts instead. Tried kickboxing--which was fun and harder than I expected. Does anyone else know Jessica Smith? If you are getting back into exercise, she has tons of free workouts on YouTube. The variety is great and it's easy to do in your own house.

6/08 - 152.0 - Salty dinner of nachos (dang you delicious salty tortilla chips!!!). All good, it fit in my plan and I was anticipating it. Lunch leftover is a burrito and left the chips behind. I was feeling extremely bloated last night when I went to bed which seemed to be way too soon for the salt (an hour after eating?) so not sure what else is going on in the body. I'm focusing on my water, though. Hopefully the bloat goes away soon, though, as we leave for the beach getaway a week from today and I'm feeling uncomfortable and not confident at all.

Previous Day's Comments6/06 - Water weight, I'm guessing. Also lack of sleep. Triple digit temperatures and working outside. Simply couldn't keep up no matter how hard I tried. I did accept the remote job on Friday. Waiting to hear from my current job HR and then from new job about all the information needed for onboarding. Anxiety through the roof with this transition right now, but I'm coping best I can. Busy week for work even before the added stress of handoff so hopefully days will go fast.
6/07 - Insight (hindsight?) from yesterday is TOM decided to make an appearance which, on top of the weekend water debacle (which I rectified to the best of my ability yesterday and will continue today) and sleep, accounts perfectly for the increase. Still dealing with TOM bloat today, plus some salt from dinner last night. Back on track, though. Steak and green beans for dinner last night as well as lunch today. Breakfast is the usual overnight oats. Dinner will be some form of "Taco Tuesday" fare, whether that be burritos, tacos (street or regular), enchiladas, nachos or something else. Hoping an email today so I can begin process for background check and hopefully schedule my drug test for this Friday as I'm going on vacation Wednesday next week until Sunday plus my last 2 days of work filled with out-processing Monday-Tuesday. Start date is Monday after we get back from vacation. Luckily ma helped me gather all my addresses for the last 7 years (required) and that's the hardest part of it all. Just takes the longest once submitted so best to get it done as soon as possible after I get the information packet to submit. Whew. Lots and lots of busy work finishing my assignments at this job as much as possible and getting all the on-boarding for new one with such a tight deadline.

Thanks @CamandJarvis! Sometimes you just gotta vent. You are a sweetheart & I value your words of encouragement. Congratulations on knocking all of the job stuff off your list before vacay.
I do my best! I've been diagnosed with general anxiety, mild depressive disorder, and was being evaluated for PTSD when my therapist took a new position and it all ended. I completely understand. Luckily, before we even got to diagnosis, my therapist focused on teaching me some things I can do to help myself when I have an "episode" as I call them. I wish getting help was easier, both in time commitment as well as in price! Hopefully this new job will free up some time and it looks like the health benefits will cover at least some of it. At least I know some coping mechanisms to get through the worst of it. I'm one of the fortunate ones.
However, a good vent is sometimes all you need. And I will 100% be okay with any and all vents so long as it helps, even just a little teeny tiny bit.5 -

Day/Weight/Comment
6/6 172.8 Had ice cream at Splash Country yesterday and a ribeye steak last night. They theoretically worked into my calories, but hubby put salty seasoning on the steak and I think that is probably responsible for this little tick up. I was worried about it at the time, but it was too late. He doesn't usually do that.
6/7 171.6 Excellent day on food yesterday and even though I didn’t do specific exercise, I was busy all day and closed all my rings at least once.
6/8 171.4 Beginning of two-week vacation in Florida; tomorrow’s numbers will be from a different scale. Looking to make good food choices and get in lots of exercise.

I avoided it, but why does it even enter my mind to do something so careless?

06/05 …..204.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
06/06 …..205.2 ….. (Trend weight 204.0) Closed all my circles yesterday on fitbit for the first time in awhile. 3 meals but not such good choices. Very bloated and had a hard time peeing (sorry so graphic). Ended up taking AZO and up all night going potty. I’ll make better choices today. I didn’t like seeing that 5. New handyman coming today so I shall see how that goes. Very rainy and gloomy here today and it rained all night too, but we needed it badly.
06/07 …..205.0 ….. (Trend weight 204.1) I need to lose 10 pounds just to be comfortable in my clothes. Focusing on that first. The first 10 will require the most changes in habits and the most dedication and resolve. Still no good kitchen and lots of travel in the picture this month. This won’t be easy but it never is.
06/08 …..204.4 ….. (Trend weight 204.1) Traveling shortly for a root canal. Oh Joy!

6/6 / 160.4 / Worked from home with a Peloton ride at lunch. The rainy weather stopped me from taking my dog for her walk as she hates getting her paws wet, and rather than go out on my own I did a 10 minute strength workout instead.
6/7 / 162.2 / Last day in office before I start a string of corporate events including golf and field tours. I will get some form of exercise in tonight but I have lots to get organized.
6/8 / 162.2 / Round of golf today for work. Should get plenty of steps!

6/6 196 (+1.0) Enough. I’ve enjoyed my time on vacation and have been really busy and off plan. I’m thankful for this community that inspires me to stay committed and moving forward and downward on this journey. Essentially, I’ve slid and as of today, am 8 pounds over my low weight. Vacation was great and I wouldn’t change anything, but today it’s time to refocus. I’ve thrown out all the food that isn’t on my eating plan and hiked yesterday with my sister to set our benchmark for the year. Last year, the first time I hiked this trail, I had to stop multiple times to catch my breath. Yesterday, we completed the 2.8 mile hike in 1:20. Last year it took almost 2 hours. I never felt the need to stop. It felt great and it was a beautiful day. We took progress photos and I can see it!! I don’t even want to be over 200 pounds again! Today, I honestly thought about not accurately recording my weight because I’m embarrassed, but who am I hurting and fooling?
6/7 194.4 (-.6) Not 100% on track but a much better day. Walked with the dogs, drank all my water and logged all my food. Just a little over on calories. Today, I’m scheduled for a mammogram and bone density test. Next? I really need to schedule my colonoscopy. Checking off the preventative care. Planning to swim today.
6/8 193.0 (-2.0) Swimming was great, although I did end up with a sunburn. They’ve closed the indoor pool by my house because of a lack of lifeguards. I need to do more research and figure out an indoor solution. Today, I’m back out at the large off-leash park with my dogs. Exercise four days in a row. My walk with the dogs is a leisure 2 and a half mile walk. It gets us out and moving, which is a really good thing. Still hungry and eating a few more calories than I should, but eating the right things and it’s showing.9 -

@JbeanR0212
Mental health is a topic that we should speak about. I like what you've said there. " I don’t want or need pity, a little bit of compassion or empathy goes a long way" Such strong powerful words to me. I am here if you want to talk. For me stress, has been a major factor for weight gain. This group has been very supportive of me for the last year as I went through some very serious personal issues. I still have sleepless nights too...but I am trying.7 -

6/6-168-Finally finished my friends quilt her grandmother made years ago. They gave me the quilt top and I quilted it and put the binding on it. It was little diamonds hand pieced in the shape of a big Star. It took me a while to get the guts to quilt it, and there was negative space in all four corners and on the sides. Any way, it’s finally done and all I have to do is trim the loose threads and give it back. At least it’s not just a quilt top sitting in their closet anymore.
Lots of errands and laundry today. Dinner at event tonight; hopefully I will avoid the bread.

6/06 - 171.5 (+.1), Sore but motivated. Kicking off challenge celebrating yesterday’s success - actively worked out for 23 min. & happy to report I FINALLY reached my H2O daily goal (128oz.)!
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.” - Maya Angelou
6/07 - 171.9 (+.4 - too much sodium), Had a terrible nights rest thanks to my PTSD (13 min. Deep/ 1 hr. 28 REM, 3.10 light, the rest of my 8.5hrs in bed registered as awake). My sleeping BPM shot up & down like a roller coaster all night from 43 to 126! It’s been almost 20 years & remains a difficult topic. I wish mental health wasn’t taboo. Nobodies pain should be wrapped in shame but it frequently gets dressed that way. I don’t want or need pity, a little bit of compassion or empathy goes a long way. Still sore on top of exhausted but I exceeded my H2O goal. Took a much needed rest & recovery day which included Hatha Yoga, light rowing, light strength training (gotta keep moving 1.5hrs. total), meditation & a nap.
“To live in the body of a survivor is to never be able to leave the scene of the crime. I cannot ignore the fact that I live here.” - Blythe Baird
6/08 - 172.2 (+.3 - Sodium again + TOTM), Another rough nights sleep but I will persevere! Not sure I like this daily weight in thing but sticking to the plan & seeing how it goes. Spent part of the afternoon hiking with the kids and had hoped to call my exercise. Then I met up with an old friend……all I needed was 1 delicious margarita to put me over and then there was dessert! I won’t even dig into the sodium. Tried to work it off in the evening with the rower (put in 50 min. of light effort) but was just too exhausted after all of the sunshine and poor sleep to put in more effort. Exceeded water & exercise goals even though my net calories were a disaster so I‘ll take those wins.

6/06 - 173.8 - 13,900 / 75. SO is home!! Ate at maintenance, lots of trail mix. Spent some time with the granddaughters is GD#2's 2nd birthday. She is Type 1D and we don't get to see her too much always outside and it was forecasted for lots of rain BUT the sun showed up and we had a wonderful day!! She wanted to catch me on the slide and held her hands out for me, so so sweet! Ate more, moved at my minimum goals, not worried at all.
6/07 - 173.7* - 16,900 / 116. SO invited the kids out for sushi, had a little more than usual as he went wild ordering everything. Was hard to log but most likely put me into another day of maintenance, again not worried. Did manage a second walk went a little slower then usual as my tummy was full.
6/08 -172.2* - 20,400 / 149. Went for an after dinner walk with SO, I can totally out walk him especially up hills. Feels great to breeze up the hill. Maybe he will work on his cardio more. I feel like its a hard subject to talk about, but maybe in time.

I hope you are able to find some help soon! It's not easy, I imagine. We are here for you, though! Sending lots of love your way
Thanks @CamandJarvis! Sometimes you just gotta vent. You are a sweetheart & I value your words of encouragement. Congratulations on knocking all of the job stuff off your list before vacay.
I do my best! I've been diagnosed with general anxiety, mild depressive disorder, and was being evaluated for PTSD when my therapist took a new position and it all ended. I completely understand. Luckily, before we even got to diagnosis, my therapist focused on teaching me some things I can do to help myself when I have an "episode" as I call them. I wish getting help was easier, both in time commitment as well as in price! Hopefully this new job will free up some time and it looks like the health benefits will cover at least some of it. At least I know some coping mechanisms to get through the worst of it. I'm one of the fortunate ones.
However, a good vent is sometimes all you need. And I will 100% be okay with any and all vents so long as it helps, even just a little teeny tiny bit.
I’m happy to hear the new job will have great health coverage. Hopefully your schedule frees up some too. Every little bit helps.
I recently had to change therapists too so I get how that goes but I’m starting to dig the new one. CBT was a big help for me & I’ve gotten pretty good at managing my episodes/flashbacks during the day. If I can recognize the onset early I can usually nip the stress pretty fast & recover my mood. It’s the nightmares & sleep interruptions that zap me the most. Even though I wake up my brain doesn’t quite register it, like a dream I can’t wake up from - and the cycle repeats.
Mindfulness helps but hasn’t been the cure all. I was actually doing well the last few years; my partner and I split recently and maybe it’s my subconscious not liking the idea of being alone that’s ticking things back up. I’m so glad you are here & am happy to return the favor.
P.S. You aren’t the only one who is battling the bloat or caved into tortilla chips.5 -

6/7: 133.2 - I was super hungry yesterday after a very long hike with a 20 pound pack on. Even with the pack on, I was carrying 20 pounds less than when I started this journey 9 months ago. Imagine hauling around almost 40 pounds more day in, day out. I stayed within my calories, but once again did go high on sugar, carbs and fat.
6/8: 133.2 - Although I’m holding steady weight wise, I don’t feel like I am. Haven’t taken any waist or hip measurements, but my clothes feel just a *tad* snugger. Ate past my limit yesterday and I’m not sure I was actually hungry in the end.

Mental health is a topic that we should speak about. I like what you've said there. " I don’t want or need pity, a little bit of compassion or empathy goes a long way" Such strong powerful words to me. I am here if you want to talk. For me stress, has been a major factor for weight gain. This group has been very supportive of me for the last year as I went through some very serious personal issues. I still have sleepless nights too...but I am trying.
Awe thanks @starrjulia8. I totally hear ya’ that dang cortisol! I’m hear to listen if you ever need to unpack. Congrats on that +1 drop! Go you!

I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.
@_JeffreyD_ Hang in there. The temptation is hard at times. You deserve to treat yourself at times, it’s letting it become a regular habit where that turns into punishment. Consistency is key & your history shows that you can do this. Keep on keeping on.

We went to see friends last night and I over indulged in salty snacks and such. I feel puffy, but it won’t last.

That’s a little better. Here’s another rose for you all—first blossom on my new Joseph’s Coat!

Busy day yesterday with my pup, Rory. In the morning I taught an obedience class, then took Rory through his Urban Canine Good Citizen test, which he passed with flying colors. We went to various places—fire station, construction site, ice skating center—to test the dogs around urban sites and sounds, including strange (!) people, stairs, different flooring surfaces, elevator…. So at 11 months, Rory is now officially Stormridge Celtic Thunder TKN CGC CGCU (TKC = Novice Trick Dog). Then in the evening we trained for his tracking test, hoping to be ready in the fall. He loves tracking and is very good at it. How does this relate to weight loss? I got a LOT of exercise yesterday! Here’s Rory yesterday after passing his test.

6/06 - 173.8 - 13,900 / 75. SO is home!! Ate at maintenance, lots of trail mix. Spent some time with the granddaughters is GD#2's 2nd birthday. She is Type 1D and we don't get to see her too much always outside and it was forecasted for lots of rain BUT the sun showed up and we had a wonderful day!! She wanted to catch me on the slide and held her hands out for me, so so sweet! Ate more, moved at my minimum goals, not worried at all.
6/07 - 173.7* - 16,900 / 116. SO invited the kids out for sushi, had a little more than usual as he went wild ordering everything. Was hard to log but most likely put me into another day of maintenance, again not worried. Did manage a second walk went a little slower then usual as my tummy was full.
6/08 -172.2* - 20,400 / 149. Went for an after dinner walk with SO, I can totally out walk him especially up hills. Feels great to breeze up the hill. Maybe he will work on his cardio more. I feel like its a hard subject to talk about, but maybe in time.

@KayHBE My heart is so happy to see you & your SO are taking this journey TOGETHER. Totally a difficult topic maybe the right amount of patience, empathy & encouragement. Perhaps you won’t even need to discuss, maybe he made the same observation and has already decided 🤷♀️3
