    @jedashultz, My sincere condolences for the loss of your husband.

    @quiltingjaine, Yes, Thank you. Finally a more substantial drop in weight. I'm trying something different. I tried to get back on Keto after being ill, but I couldn't sustain it.
    I see you have littles company. Enjoy!

    @KellyGurl68 I find it easiest to keep my posts in a “Note” in my phone. I add to that daily and copy, then paste to the thread. When I started logging here I could never find my last post. 🤷‍♀️

    @smoda61 I love that you take your cats for a walk. Oskar will walk on the leash but hasn’t ventured past the driveway.

    @quiltingjaine They count on it every day. This weekend we are hiring a pet sitter for two days. Sure is challenging to find a sitter who is confident in walking cats on a leash. They are actually easy, as they have been doing it for 4 1/2 years, but everyone assuming they will behave like what you imagine a cat on a leash might be like. That's great Oskar goes out. Driveway is plenty good. He is getting enrichment either way. Most of our walks are "wanders" as we don't get far.

    I’m back now after a long hard two months. My DH of 38 years passed away on March 9 just two weeks ago today. He was hospitalized for a little over a month and fought hard but he was just too sick. I have a special needs adult daughter to care for and will do my best for her and another daughter and SIL who live nearby. Getting myself healthy is even more of a priority now.

    @jedaschultz So sorry for your loss and all you have been through. Glad you are remembering to take care of you. It is so easy to forget. Welcome back!

    @clprieur .....hoping you are well.....


    @GirlOnTheRebound Hey, thanks for that! I am fine. Sorry I have been AWOL! So nice of you to check in. I have been busy with work which makes me tired and so I haven't had much to say. Also, yesterday and the day before I have just been eating anything in sight, to the point where I have given up on logging as I lose track!! Eeeek! I am hoping that the fatigue and extreme hunger (esp for carbs!!) is related to being premenstrual... and not that my body is now preparing to binge my way back up to 200 lbs!!!

    I couldnt figure hiwnto edit my post above to add my weight in 🤔 so had to make a new post. Also the battery in my Renpho scale broke so I had to use my old scale and I think it weighs me a little lighter. I'll finish off this round with the same scale then use my Renpho for the next one! I'm psyched for this accountability though.... Lawd knows nothing else has been working for me 😵‍💫

    @KellyGurl68 Welcome! I started out by keeping my entries in a Word document, and now I am glad I did - because I have been able read back and make observations about what worked and what did not (for example to see that I always seem to eat more before TOM, etc.). So I have everything in a Word doc, and I type up my daily entry in Word, and when I'm ready, I post it in here. I started out by just writing a couple of words every day... now my entries are pretty... um... extreme. LOL! (They have been referred to as "novellas" on here!! LOL!!) But I find it super helpful to write out my thoughts early in the morning and reflect on my goals and sort of set my intention for the day. Hope that helps! :)

    3/23 - 179
    The blasted wagon threw me right off last night. Emotional eating snack binge. But I’m climbing back on and am going to try to hang on for the rest of the round.


    @SheilaBoneham You and me both, gurl. Make room for me on the wagon, and give me a hand up! You and I can help each other try to be a bit more successful today. Although in reading the posts on here it seems like there are a few of us who are struggling! I think we need to focus on the positive, look for the small wins, and try to just keep moving forward (and not fret about our past mistakes). We got this!! <3

    New to this challenge. I'm 45. My starting weight was 249 (February 2022) I'm currently 176 and my goal weight is 150. I've been stuck at 174-176 for the last 3 weeks. Ugh. My new fitness goal is to walk/run a 5k! I'm excited for that. I've started using the couch to 5k app. I really shocked myself that I can jog!!!

    @RenaPink11 OOH-OOH-OOH!! Can we be friends?? I just started trying to jog, too! And I also was shocked that I can actually do it!! Maybe I should try a couch to 5K! I'm super stoked about it and would love to have you in my corner!! :) Good job on your weight-loss, too! You are killin' it!!!
