Started Couch to 5K yesterday (had to get some running in for another challenge I am in). It was fun - hoping that my knees will allow me to go forward! A little over 300 active minutes so far - 200 more to go this week. I've been logging consistently, under calorie limits each day. Am going out to dinner tonight, hoping to make some good choices. I am reading two books at the moment Harry Potter - Order of Phoenix (for the umteenth time) and Shadow and Bone. @39flavours - I like those cute little things you put after your weigh ins! I'm stealing the ones I can figure out how to make!

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

04/04-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Oh my Goodness, I wanted to weigh so badly today! But then, why would I weight the day after travel when the restaurant food usually adds 2-3 extra pounds to the scale? So I am drinking lots of water to offset the high sodium meal, hoping for a TMI to rid myself of the evidence and going to try to close all my fitbit circles today while carefully watching the bp. Fasting glucose this morning was pretty good so that is a good sign of the times I hope. Enjoy your day everyone!
04/05-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- Bad Rain storm across Michigan today. Some areas (like mine) will also see a wintery mix of rain & snow, large hail, and in some areas the possibility of tornados. So it’s gloomy but active. Had thunder and lightning all night which I hate since I am so terrified of lightning because my house was struck when I was a child. I pray we don’t lose power because then there is no water when you have a well. On the diet front: Yesterday was a very good day. I cooked some new meals which was within plan and exciting. I did a little mild dancing even though I’ve been told not to exercise quite yet. Today my blood pressure is down too low again. It seems to be going back & forth. I travel tomorrow for cardiac rehab (education only at this point, no exercise because of bp) and it is located in the same town as the Heart Failure Clinic so Dr. says to bring in bp machine so they can download my recent readings. They will probably call later to direct me. Sticking to my guns today. I’ve already pre-logged my meals. I can feel that my clothes are a bit tighter mainly due to lack of burning those calories I’m eating. My daily calorie expenditure overall has been in the 1800 range. THAT gets me nowhere!

Hello, I am Amanda, I’m a crazy cat lady from Michigan. I stopped logging and weighing mid February because of health issues and I ended up gaining back about 4 pounds. I worked hard to lose weight last year and don’t want to gain it all back!

OSW: 250 lbs
April 1: 205.1 lbs
April goal: 201 lbs

It’s been raining here for a few days and supposed to rain until Thursday. Makes it hard to walk outside but I’ve got to make myself do it!

I stayed within calorie, got a good bp reading late last night after dinner and (therefore) jumped on my exercise bike for about 25 minutes. Travel today. I must be strategic.

Weight in blue makes me blue because it’s a gain. Weight in fuchsia pink makes me feel cheery because it’s a loss. Weight in black means no change.

04/06-DNW-(Trend Weight DNW)- I ate dinner way way too late, around 10:30 PM. I’ve got to find a way to eat earlier! My tummy feels like a ton of bricks. It was a good day though. I stayed within calorie, got a good bp reading late last night after dinner and (therefore) jumped on my exercise bike for about 25 minutes. Travel today. I must be strategic.
04/07-190.6-(Trend Weight 192.4)- This was probably not a good day to weigh. After all, yesterday was travel which always means restaurant, extra sitting and no water pill. But I needed to see where I am at before Easter Sunday. I am not real happy seeing the 190’s again but I think I can put a big ding in that today and tomorrow before the holiday. To meet my personal goal of the 10 pound loss between Christmas and Easter, I need to drop 2.2 pounds back off. No matter what happens, I am proud of my progress. I am down approx 8 pounds during my mini-challenge including through the Christmas holidays and the Valentine’s candy gifts. I have dropped a size, am measuring smaller, and feel more confident about myself. All wins! But I am still going for those last two pounds since I had them off before my bp issues stopped me in my tracks. Good news yesterday: Cardiac rehab released me with all good grades. That means less travel in my future which will definitely affect my weight loss. I’m feeling “up” today, even with the scale disappointment. After all, I had to buy new (smaller) underwear, remember?

Hello, I am Amanda, I’m a crazy cat lady from Michigan. I stopped logging and weighing mid February because of health issues and I ended up gaining back about 4 pounds. I worked hard to lose weight last year and don’t want to gain it all back!
My goal for April is to lose those 4 pounds and walking 3 days a week.
OSW: 250 lbs
April 1: 205.1 lbs
April goal: 201 lbs
4/1: 205.1

Went out to eat last night which I rarely do. The food seemed really salty.

I went to a surgery consult yesterday for a large incisional hernia I have from a hysterectomy in 2018. The surgeon wants me to lose 50 pounds before she does the surgery. She suggested giving me 4 months to lose it….I laughed in her face! I can’t lose 50 pounds in 4 months! Maybe 6 months. I know I need to lose weight, it just sucks when someone else points it out. One more reason to work harder I suppose. 🫠5 -

@joans1976 Way back in 2010 (during my cancer treatments) I was told my hernia is an umbilical hernia. They wanted to fix it during my complete hysterectomy but the surgeon said my stomach was too big and it would not last if fixed. They told me to come back for that when I lost weight and have a smaller stomach.
Since then, I have lost almost 70 pounds but unfortunately, my stomach is still very big. I'm talking humpty dumpty here. It is disproportinate to the rest of my body. It is the classic T2D belly found in many middle-aged or older T2 diabetics. It is definitely not ready for that surgery yet, unfortunately. In the meantime, I can see that the hernia has gotten bigger. This is one of my driving factors in losing my weight. EVENTUALLY it has to start coming more off the stomach! I just wanted you to know that I feel ya! We seem to share a lot of physical problems Amanda! Is there something in the Michigan Water?
