    Welcome, Christine! @cmhubbard92

    Yes!! Excited to see you back!!

    I myself have allowed myself to self wallow last month and my weight is reflecting that. Here is to a fresh start!

    Hello TBBT.... I am hoping November can be a turn around of this climb I am on. The last quarter of every year is always busy with tons of celebrating and I always seem to lose my focus. Add in those pesky midlife hormones and some stresses (not normal life stresses) and this girl is fighting a mental game that I can't afford to lose because that translates to gains and a downward spiral of my achievements. Why is -2 so hard to achieve but a +5 is an easy overnight (non) achievement?

    Overall I have had highs and lows as my journey started last October but Nov 1 was first day of conscious awareness of what went in my mouth. So in that regard, I am and have kept 16 lbs off in this year.. but can't let myself celebrate because at some point over this year I WAS down 33 lbs.

    All I can do is refocus (again 😔) and strive to build upon my achievements and not let my mental game mess me up.

    New month weigh in...

    Yes ma'am, for the last month and a half I have been miserable. Back hurting all the time. Went to see the surgeon that did my surgery and he told me it was just the arthritis and gave me a steroid shot in my knee. That did not do anything, so I scheduled with a new doctor to get a second opinion.

    I’m Jenn. I’m a single Mom of 3 incredible kids (23, 12, 7). Please be patient with me. I sustained a horrific fall about 2 months ago and am recovering from several bodily fractures. I also endured a traumatic brain injury affecting multiple processing centers.

    Sometimes Lisa, my Home Care Aide posts about how I am doing. She also edited this intro (from an old one) for me. She calls me Jennifer because I get a little confused and it helps me understand the professional dynamic of our relationship. We are working to restore my independence but it will be awhile yet. My TBI can make social interactions or life in general a little challenging. Sometimes I don’t say the right things and it can be difficult to understand me. If you can’t follow it’s okay to ask, I have to do that alot. Lisa tries to let me be me but she is always here to help translate. I have good days, really bad ones and some in-between.

    Weight loss is not a focus while on the path to healing. That’s what my oldest daughter says and she is the boss right now (she posts sometimes too). That hasn’t been an easy change for anybody! I was in this group before my accident. I stay because these ladies are very special to me. I don’t have much outside of them to keep me grounded. I feel blessed to have crossed each and every one of their paths. I can’t wait to get back to kicking toosh again. Go TBBT!
