08/25-199.8-(Trend Weight 200.2)- Onederland! Trying to figure that one out. Travel yesterday with very very little movement. Restaurant meal. Normal (not enough) sleep. Normal TMI. No water pill yesterday due to the travel. However, I was up & down all night going #1. I guess my body deided to finally get rid of some fluid retention in my ankles on it’s own so that must be it. So…cardiologist said absolutely no exercise including taking walks! I honestly thought I was approved to at least do that! I am supposed to be re-introduced into everything while being medically supervised (in case of another heart attack). They are especially worried because I still cannot breathe well with exertion. So I must attend cardiac rehab for probably 12 weeks. Of course, that will mean a lot of travel since we don’t have anything like that around here. I’m very disappointed. They are sending me for dopplers on my legs to look for blockages due to some symptoms, my vascular issues, my lack of pulse in the left foot, and my high glucose diabetes. That will be mid September. They are also sending me to a pulmonary function test in mid-October to make sure there isn’t something different going on with the breathing. My lung nodule appears to be stable so maybe COPD? I did smoke for 35 years but I quit 15 years ago! Anyway, sharing what I got in the case that it helps someone go get that medical care you need. Difficulty breathing which is different from before when you exercise? Call your doctor!
08/26-200.6-(Trend Weight 200.3)- Easy go, easy come. One thing is for sure. NO MORE ICE CREAM IN THE HOUSE!!! Sorry grandson but I am not strong enough for that yet and NO PART OF ME OR MY HEALTH needs it. Mommy will just have to take you for a cone.

I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I absolutely need to get serious about my weight and stop "treating myself". I had lost 15kg from my initial starting weight, but then started working from home and became less active through the day as a result. I'm finding it hard to get my rhythm back even though I'm back to working on site now. I've gained back too much of that 15kg loss. I plan to go back to basics because I KNOW it works for me!

Hi. New to the group. My name is Mels
Highest weight 227
Now 213
Need to lose 63lbs.
One day at a time I can do it5 -
My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.
My initial target is 100kg, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too.
Today's update:
14/8:106.3kg Waist size 44½”
15/8:105.1kg
16/8:104.3kg
17/8:103.9kg
18/8:104.0kg Calories: 1237 Body Fat: 35.0%
19/8:104.1kg. Calories: 1238. Body Fat: 34.8%
20/8:104.1kg. Calories: 1277. Body Fat: 35.1%
21/8:104.0kg. Calories: 1243. Body Fat: 35.3%
22/8:103.6kg. Calories: 1286. Body Fat: 34.8%
23/8:103.9kg. Calories: 1254. Body Fat: 34.4%
24/8:103.9kg. Calories 1246. Body Fat 34.6%
25/8:103.9kg. Calories 1267. Body Fat 34.2%
26/8:103.3kg. Calories 1257. Body Fat 33.7%
27/8:103.6kg Calories 1242. Body Fat 33.0%
Still managing to keep to calorie target and macro targets too. Good to see body fat slowly falling too.2 -

I'm the same, ice cream is one of my biggest pitfalls too. I can't have it in the house either. Once I know it's in the freezer I find it so hard to resist.

I’ve got my calories and logging under control, my macros somewhat under control, my water intake under control. Now, I want to lower my sodium intake and up my daily step goal! I have a doctors appointment at the end of the month and would like some good news….I know I have a long way to go but I have to get there some time.

8/31 GW: 214
Mini goal: 218
8/1: 220
8/2: 220 Increased my step count ✅ Stayed under my sodium goal ✅
Sore back today 😞
8/3: 219.5 Met my step count but didn’t increase, went 45 mg over sodium 🤷🏻♀️
8/4: 220 Under step goal ✖️Under sodium goal✅
8/5: 219.5 under step goal✖️over sodium goal✖️Work was a nightmare, barely slept, ugh! 3 days off now, hoping to decompress and reset!
8/6 219.5 Yesterday was a really tough day, didn’t hit any of my goals except water
8/7: 218
8/8: 218 I have hit my mini goal of 218 and this means I have gone from Class 3 Obesity to Class 2. I have mixed emotions about this….
8/9: 219 just a pound, I can deal with it
8/10: 219 Hit my step goal✅ Under my sodium goal✅
8/11: 218 Didn’t even remotely hit my step goal✖️ Under sodium✅
Yesterday was tough. Worked a silly long shift and ate way under calories. It was time for bed and I was so tired but I still needed to eat 400 calories. I’m aware this is not a healthy, sustainable way to lose weight. I just couldn’t do it, bed won out. Hoping to make up for it today or just move on.
8/12: 218 Oops, not a stellar day, didn’t make step goal ✖️was over sodium✖️
However, I’m on vacation until 8/22! Plans fell through so it is a staycation but I have plenty to do! So happy!
8/13: 217.5 Increased my step goal✅ Stayed under my sodium goal✅ Yesterday was a stellar day, lots of swimming, lots of walking, ate great, went to bed happy! Staycation agrees with me!
8/14: 217.5 Literally did nothing yesterday. Fed the cats and took two naps. Did not increase my step goal✖️ Stayed under my sodium goal✅
8/15: 218 Increased my step goal ✅ went way over my sodium goal ✖️
8/16: 217 Increased my step goal✅ Under my sodium goal✅
8/17: 214.9 (!) Met my step count but didn’t increase✖️Way over sodium✖️Looking back I can see I’m not really hitting my goals this month. The weight is coming off which will help with health but I really want to improve my heart health. I’m going to try harder but it’s already a challenge when you are watching calories, macros, alcohol, sodium, steps, exercise and weight. I don’t want to get burnt out!
8/18: 214.9 Step goal✖️ Sodium goal✅
8/19: 213.9 Step goal✅ Sodium goal✅
8/20: 213.1
8/21: 213.1
8/22: 213.9
8/23: 213.1 Not hitting my step goal but hitting my sodium goals. Going through some personal stuff making me sad.
8/24: 213.9 Not enough movement
8/25: 213.8

08/27-199.2-(Trend Weight 200.2)- Progress! I won’t say I made the best choices but I stayed within calorie. I went into goals this morning and tweaked my macros. I lowered the carbs because my glucose continues to run too high. It may take a few tweaks to get it in better balance. I am going to focus on healthier fats in my diet when I need to use them. I have to really watch fats because of my heart problems right now. I know which ones are good for me and they need to be my first choice.

@deepwoodslady My cholesterol and A1C were slightly elevated, which was frustrating to me since my diet is the best its ever been and I weigh 40 pounds less than I did last year. My doctor had sent me a quick note on the portal saying "decrease eating processed foods" which made me kinda mad. So I went to the appointment with a list of everything I had eaten the week prior and she said "yes, I can see you dont eat many processed foods and you have healthy diet." The cholesterol is likely a hereditary thing that I just cant get away from and I will end up taking a pill for it but I really didnt want to add a pill. I re-test my cholesterol and A1C in a few weeks and see where it is. Im pretty worried about the A1C and I will work hard to lower it. Its only 0.1 above normal. Good news, my BP was normal 117/73 and I can stop taking my BP pill and see how its goes! So we'll see. Thank you for asking!2

My husband is going for a long bike ride as he's training for a Gran Fondo so the dog and I will be hanging at our trailer. Will try to get her out for a few short walks before it gets too hot.)
Aug 14 - 163.8 (Feels good to see my second day in a row in my maintenance range since I got back from holidays. I planned my food well yesterday and got my 10K steps. My husband leaves from the lake to head north for a business trip this evening so my Mom is coming out for a BBQ and visit and then I'll go back home with her.)
Aug 15 - 165.2 (My husband is away on business so it feels quiet. I plan to walk my dog before work today as it'll be a hot day. Will get my activity off on the right foot!)
Aug 16 - 164.4 (Rode the Peloton last night and did some healthy cooking. Pre-prepped a breakfast
smoothie that was a tasty start to my day. Lots of fibre today!)
Aug 17 - 164.6 (Beautiful sunny day here. Work is busy, one foot in front of the other. Got pulled into an unexpected work meeting and missed my lunch time walk. Tonight I have to get a cavity filled at the dentist and then I'll be able to go out for my walk.)
Aug 18 - 166.8 (Busy day at work as I'm off tomorrow and have lots of meetings. Also have a doctor's appointment at lunch so I'll be walking there and back. Step count should be decent when I get home but I still expect my dog will need a walk unless my husband finds a window to get her out before I get home.)
Aug 19 - 167.8 (Today was truly special. I had the day off and my hot air balloon ride that my husband gifted me on our wedding day finally went ahead. We then went to the mountains and biked 70 KM or so... just had so much fun.)
Aug 20 - 166.8
Aug 21 - 167.8 (Fun day at the lake with a short dog walk and then we returned home and went out to dinner with a friend. Feeling busy for sure.)
Aug 22 - 164.8 (Today was off to a good start and I got a walk in with my dog at lunch but we had an event at work near the end of the day and I ended up putting in a couple extra hours. I have been so busy lately and it's definitely my exercise that's being sacrificed. I don't have any choice as something has to give. Doesn't change my maintenance strategy as I eat my exercise calories so it just means they get pared back accordingly.)
Aug 23 - 164 (Slowly seeing my trend weight come back down. I had two meals out today so I had to be smart about my choices. Work is still busy but I got my 10K steps in. Woot!)
Aug 24 - 163.6 (Love these sections where the weight is slowly dropping down. I have been back in my maintenance range for three days now. I am going on holiday again in just over a week so I'm focused on losing as much as I can before then.)
Aug 25 - 162.6 (Had a big day - an important meeting at work, dim sum for lunch, made supper, lots of walking, a Peloton ride.)
Aug 26 - 163
Aug 27 - 163.4 (Happy day today. At the lake visiting with my husband and our neighbors. I pressured washed our whole trailer and it feels great. The day is gloomy, but my mood is sunny!)3 -

8/1/22-167.2 lbs :-( Elliptical 214 minutes for 14.22 miles
8/2/22-168.6 lbs :-( The extra carbs and sodium show. Elliptical 233 minutes for 16.47 miles.
8/3/22-171.8 lbs :-( Still climbing from the extra carbs and sodium while I was off. Was in the BR almost ever half hour today peeing at work. Hopefully the scale will start back down.
8/4/22-168.4 lbs :-) Heading the right way.
8/5/22-166.8 lbs - Off today did 159 minutes on my Elliptical but then it just stopped, couldn't move it. I'm hoping it just needs some oil. 2 of my sons worked on it. Cleaned and oiled it. Ok right now, hope that was it.
8/6/22-168.2 lbs
8/7/22-167.2 lbs Off today. Did 180 minutes on the Elliptical. Screeched some after 2 hours and then hard to move then eased up for awhile then got stiff again and I stopped. I'm hoping the bearings aren't bad. Found a listing for a place that fixes exercise equipment. Have to call from work and maybe they can come look at it Friday on my day off. Have a family party Saturday and work picnic Sunday. I have put over 2000+ miles on it since 1/3/22. I'm the only one that uses it. I bought it in 2010 for $600-800. The ones comparable to it now are like $1200-1600.
8/8/22-169.2 lbs
8/9/22-170.2 lbs I talked with the exercise repair guy. He can't come till Tuesday. :-( So I guess I need to do some different exercise.

8/12/22-166.2 lbs
8/13/22-169 lbs
8/14/22-170.2 lbs
8/15/22-174.2 lbs :-( Had 2 parties Saturday and Sunday and not having my Elliptical really shows up on the scale! Elliptical repairman comes tomorrow (Tuesday AM). Hopefully it's an easy repair. Got to get back on track or I'll need to go back into my large scrubs, instead of the smalls I've been in since February! Late 10 AM work start today, so had time to update this AM.
8/16/22-176.2 lbs- Elliptical repair man said it would cost $400 to replace the magnetic flywheel, so not worth it. Lubed it up and said I can use it till it goes totally just have to put up with occasional screeching. So shopping for a new one.
8/17/22- 174.6 lbs
8/18/22- 171.4 lbs
8/19/22- 171.4 lbs
8/20/22- 173.4 lbs
8/21/22- 173.6 lbs
8/22/22- 177.8 lbs
8/23/22- 180.2 lbs Central PA Kidney Foundation Conference @ The Hotel Hershey (The bigger turnout, I'm sure, is because it's held there!)
8/24/22- 184.4 lbs Not surprised by the uptick, since I was at the conference yesterday.
8/25/22- 184.4 lbs
8/26/22- 180 lbs
8/27/22-178.6 lbs I have been off track this summer, enjoying too many carbs. Hopefully I get back on track this fall with less temptations. Even when I stay under my calorie allotment, my body gains with higher carbs, even though I'm under what is considered low carb. My body just doesn't want to burn them and stores them.
Went to bed Tuesday 8/16 and woke up Wednesday 8/17 with a pulled muscle. Been babying it at work. No lifting more than 10 lbs(our Dialysate solution is in 1(8 lbs) and 2(16 lbs) gallon jugs) , no lifting patients up in bed and no pushing the machines to bedside treatments. (I'm not a complainer so they knew I was hurting). Just doing the Hemodialysis treatments. Had a appointment yesterday at 3:40 to see PCP. They cancelled it at 1:30-2. They said they had no internet all day.
So I went to the Orthopaedic Emergency clinic near me. They took a X-ray. Besides Degenerative Disease in my thoracic spine, almost all of them also have bone spurs on the right side. Now I'm on 16 days of Prednisone and Flexeril prn and she was going to give me off work (we are busy right now, 1 out on FMLA, another going out on Wednesday for 2 hernias to be repaired and when he comes back, someone is going out for Carpal Tunnel) I said I could work with the same restrictions, so she gave me that for 4 weeks. Hopefully the meds help. I don't mind the 4 out of 10 pain (I'm a known high pain tolerance) but the 8 out of 10 intermittent stabbing pain, that makes me catch my breath, is what gets to me. And it's not always the same movement that does it. Off a 3 day weekend. Hoping to be back on Monday feeling improvement.

@swimmom_1 I hope you feel better soon, that sounds awful! Take care of yourself!
@joans1976 Isn't it so frustrating when doctors just assume that you're eating all the wrong things?! I had the same a few years ago, the GP I saw went on a rant about how he gave up bread 10 years ago (I'm sitting there thinking, yeah, ok, good for you, I eat bread maybe 2-3 times a week, that's not my problem). He insisted I must be eating loads of chips and fatty foods (I don't) and wanted me to schedule a full work up with him. I just left, feeling defeated because he didn't actually ask me anything and made all these assumptions. I booked myself in with an actual dietician who reviewed my food diary and was fairly happy with what I was eating overall! She mostly just told me to work on my portions, and add some more veg in, but the bulk of what I was eating was fine. I do sometimes wonder what that GP would have told me if he'd actually asked what I ate (he probably would have told me I was lying).
Anyway, I hope you get a good A1C result when you take that test!3 -
I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I absolutely need to get serious about my weight and stop "treating myself". I had lost 15kg from my initial starting weight, but then started working from home and became less active through the day as a result. I'm finding it hard to get my rhythm back even though I'm back to working on site now. I've gained back too much of that 15kg loss. I plan to go back to basics because I KNOW it works for me!

My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.
My initial target is 100kg, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too.

8/3: 184.5 lbs ⬇️ Wednesday is my usual weigh-in. Nothing to add. A bit overwhelmed by pending appointments this month. Then travel by air with my 83 dad with Parkinsons. Fretting already. I know that is not helpful healthwise. But take a deep breath and move one foot forward.

8/10: 185 lbs ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Wednesday regular weigh-in. This week I finally sorted through some of my mom's pictures. Being more active using the treadmill. Still overeating at dinner. Lots a things to work on.
8/17: 185 lbs Well back to my August start weight. Finally put to rest an item not so pleasant that happened in March 2021. I didn't think about it every day but it was always in the back of my mind. Roof being reshingled and another item checked off. Nothing to do about calorie intake but deals with my emotions that is a catalyst.
8/24: 184.5 lbs. Small dip into the right right direction. Been off the radar because I am scared 😱 😨 to step on the scale. My daily accountability has been lacking.
8/25: 184.5 lbs Made sure I stepped on the scale.

Aug 3 - 167.6 (Dentist after work and then I'll hopefully find time for a Peloton ride or another walk, or both!)
Aug 4 - 166.2 (Have stress at work. Afterwards I will decompress with some kind of exercise. Last night I chose to do upper body strength as my exercise of choice and it felt great.)
Aug 5 - 165.8 (Found time to ride the Peloton last night and it felt good. Off to the lake for the weekend as soon as work is done.)
Aug 6 - 164.6 (Nice sunny day here today. I am going to aim for 10,000 steps which will require 1-2 longer walks around our lakeside trailer park. We have a bigger dinner tonight my husband is making for our trailer friends.)
Aug 7 - 165.8 (Yesterday I underperformed on my fitness and food plans so the return to the higher weight is completely expected. Tonight we return from the lake and have supper with friends before heading home.)
Aug 8 - 167 (Yesterday we came back from the lake, walked to and from a friend's house for a pizza supper, and then I did some yoga and strength. A good day.)
Aug 9 - 166.2

Aug 11 - 167.4 (Good day so far, haircut after work, had a nice lunchtime walk with my husband. Focusing on what's within my control.)
Aug 12 - 166.8 (Had a lot of exercise today. Gold day overall. I am excited to get to the lake tonight after work. Weather is looking to be quite hot.)
Aug 13 - 164 (Had an unexpected late night due to some concerns with my dog.. she's fine but I definitely slept in this morning. My husband is going for a long bike ride as he's training for a Gran Fondo so the dog and I will be hanging at our trailer. Will try to get her out for a few short walks before it gets too hot.)
Aug 14 - 163.8 (Feels good to see my second day in a row in my maintenance range since I got back from holidays. I planned my food well yesterday and got my 10K steps. My husband leaves from the lake to head north for a business trip this evening so my Mom is coming out for a BBQ and visit and then I'll go back home with her.)
Aug 15 - 165.2 (My husband is away on business so it feels quiet. I plan to walk my dog before work today as it'll be a hot day. Will get my activity off on the right foot!)
Aug 16 - 164.4 (Rode the Peloton last night and did some healthy cooking. Pre-prepped a breakfast
smoothie that was a tasty start to my day. Lots of fibre today!)
Aug 17 - 164.6 (Beautiful sunny day here. Work is busy, one foot in front of the other. Got pulled into an unexpected work meeting and missed my lunch time walk. Tonight I have to get a cavity filled at the dentist and then I'll be able to go out for my walk.)
Aug 18 - 166.8 (Busy day at work as I'm off tomorrow and have lots of meetings. Also have a doctor's appointment at lunch so I'll be walking there and back. Step count should be decent when I get home but I still expect my dog will need a walk unless my husband finds a window to get her out before I get home.)

Aug 21 - 167.8 (Fun day at the lake with a short dog walk and then we returned home and went out to dinner with a friend. Feeling busy for sure.)

I have been so busy lately and it's definitely my exercise that's being sacrificed. I don't have any choice as something has to give. Doesn't change my maintenance strategy as I eat my exercise calories so it just means they get pared back accordingly.)

Aug 24 - 163.6 (Love these sections where the weight is slowly dropping down. I have been back in my maintenance range for three days now. I am going on holiday again in just over a week so I'm focused on losing as much as I can before then.)

I’ve got my calories and logging under control, my macros somewhat under control, my water intake under control. Now, I want to lower my sodium intake and up my daily step goal! I have a doctors appointment at the end of the month and would like some good news….I know I have a long way to go but I have to get there some time.

Yesterday was tough. Worked a silly long shift and ate way under calories. It was time for bed and I was so tired but I still needed to eat 400 calories. I’m aware this is not a healthy, sustainable way to lose weight. I just couldn’t do it, bed won out. Hoping to make up for it today or just move on.

I lowered the carbs because my glucose continues to run too high. It may take a few tweaks to get it in better balance. I am going to focus on healthier fats in my diet when I need to use them. I have to really watch fats because of my heart problems right now. I know which ones are good for me and they need to be my first choice.

8/1/22-167.2 lbs :-( Elliptical 214 minutes for 14.22 miles
8/2/22-168.6 lbs :-( The extra carbs and sodium show. Elliptical 233 minutes for 16.47 miles.
8/3/22-171.8 lbs :-( Still climbing from the extra carbs and sodium while I was off. Was in the BR almost ever half hour today peeing at work. Hopefully the scale will start back down.
8/4/22-168.4 lbs :-) Heading the right way.
8/5/22-166.8 lbs - Off today did 159 minutes on my Elliptical but then it just stopped, couldn't move it. I'm hoping it just needs some oil. 2 of my sons worked on it. Cleaned and oiled it. Ok right now, hope that was it.
8/6/22-168.2 lbs
8/7/22-167.2 lbs Off today. Did 180 minutes on the Elliptical. Screeched some after 2 hours and then hard to move then eased up for awhile then got stiff again and I stopped. I'm hoping the bearings aren't bad. Found a listing for a place that fixes exercise equipment. Have to call from work and maybe they can come look at it Friday on my day off. Have a family party Saturday and work picnic Sunday. I have put over 2000+ miles on it since 1/3/22. I'm the only one that uses it. I bought it in 2010 for $600-800. The ones comparable to it now are like $1200-1600.
8/8/22-169.2 lbs
8/9/22-170.2 lbs I talked with the exercise repair guy. He can't come till Tuesday. :-( So I guess I need to do some different exercise.
8/10/22-169.2 lbs

8/12/22-166.2 lbs
8/13/22-169 lbs
8/14/22-170.2 lbs
8/15/22-174.2 lbs :-( Had 2 parties Saturday and Sunday and not having my Elliptical really shows up on the scale! Elliptical repairman comes tomorrow (Tuesday AM). Hopefully it's an easy repair. Got to get back on track or I'll need to go back into my large scrubs, instead of the smalls I've been in since February! Late 10 AM work start today, so had time to update this AM.
8/16/22-176.2 lbs- Elliptical repair man said it would cost $400 to replace the magnetic flywheel, so not worth it. Lubed it up and said I can use it till it goes totally just have to put up with occasional screeching. So shopping for a new one.
8/17/22- 174.6 lbs
8/18/22- 171.4 lbs
8/19/22- 171.4 lbs
8/20/22- 173.4 lbs
8/21/22- 173.6 lbs
8/22/22- 177.8 lbs
8/23/22- 180.2 lbs Central PA Kidney Foundation Conference @ The Hotel Hershey (The bigger turnout, I'm sure, is because it's held there!)
8/24/22- 184.4 lbs Not surprised by the uptick, since I was at the conference yesterday.
8/25/22- 184.4 lbs
8/26/22- 180 lbs
8/27/22-178.6 lbs I have been off track this summer, enjoying too many carbs. Hopefully I get back on track this fall with less temptations. Even when I stay under my calorie allotment, my body gains with higher carbs, even though I'm under what is considered low carb. My body just doesn't want to burn them and stores them.
Went to bed Tuesday 8/16 and woke up Wednesday 8/17 with a pulled muscle. Been babying it at work. No lifting more than 10 lbs(our Dialysate solution is in 1(8 lbs) and 2(16 lbs) gallon jugs) , no lifting patients up in bed and no pushing the machines to bedside treatments. (I'm not a complainer so they knew I was hurting). Just doing the Hemodialysis treatments. Had a appointment yesterday at 3:40 to see PCP. They cancelled it at 1:30-2. They said they had no internet all day.
So I went to the Orthopaedic Emergency clinic near me. They took a X-ray. Besides Degenerative Disease in my thoracic spine, almost all of them also have bone spurs on the right side. Now I'm on 16 days of Prednisone and Flexeril prn and she was going to give me off work (we are busy right now, 1 out on FMLA, another going out on Wednesday for 2 hernias to be repaired and when he comes back, someone is going out for Carpal Tunnel) I said I could work with the same restrictions, so she gave me that for 4 weeks. Hopefully the meds help. I don't mind the 4 out of 10 pain (I'm a known high pain tolerance) but the 8 out of 10 intermittent stabbing pain, that makes me catch my breath, is what gets to me. And it's not always the same movement that does it. Off a 3 day weekend. Hoping to be back on Monday feeling improvement.
8/28/22-180 lbs :-(

I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I absolutely need to get serious about my weight and stop "treating myself". I had lost 15kg from my initial starting weight, but then started working from home and became less active through the day as a result. I'm finding it hard to get my rhythm back even though I'm back to working on site now. I've gained back too much of that 15kg loss. I plan to go back to basics because I KNOW it works for me!

My name is Ian and I am a 62 year old male from the Midlands of the UK. I am 6' 0" tall. I have a number of health conditions which prevent me from doing aerobic exercise and I take medication which as a side effect lowers my metabolic rate and increases my feelings of hunger. I can't walk so use a mobility scooter. As a result my weight loss depends totally on calorie intake reduction.
My initial target is 100kg by the end of September, to move from obese to simply overweight. I would like to get my waist size below 40" too.
Today's update:

Not sure what’s going on. On the face of it same weight as a week ago, but my MAT is showing 0.5kg loss which would put me on target.3 -
I’ve got my calories and logging under control, my macros somewhat under control, my water intake under control. Now, I want to lower my sodium intake and up my daily step goal!

I'm Christie, an Aussie, mum to the BEST three year old in the world (I am not even biased). I absolutely need to get serious about my weight and stop "treating myself". I had lost 15kg from my initial starting weight, but then started working from home and became less active through the day as a result. I'm finding it hard to get my rhythm back even though I'm back to working on site now. I've gained back too much of that 15kg loss. I plan to go back to basics because I KNOW it works for me!
