I'm back guys. Having the month of August off gave me some time to rest and get myself in a better position to have a great September. This is Michigan's last real decent month as far as weather goes so I am hoping to get many steps and a lose a few lbs while the weather is still in the 70's.
Can I change my weigh in day to Friday?
You sure can. Can you give me a start weight? Preferably what you weighed on Friday past. Welcome back!PW: 81.3
CW: 82.2
lots on this week including oldest kids birthday, futsal comps (not the best food at these) and a mate over from NZ, plus I've come down with my second sinus infection in the last month, need to pull finger out this week to lift my game
I hope you feel better.Slimmersixties wrote: »lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Slimmersixties wrote: »lindamtuck2018 wrote: »Steps: 4,748

Another week of reaching my exercise goal but gaining weight. I am going to the pool soon.
@Slimmersixties
Please use 173.6 as my Christmas challenge weight. I am going to lose 11 pounds which will bring me to 100 pounds lost. I will need to adjust my calories for the week so I can lose .75 pounds a week. I can and will do this.
We will both have lost 100lb by Christmas! Ill be at goal. Will that be goal for you too?
I am still not sure. I have my diabetic check in 3 weeks. I am going to ask the doctor then what she thinks. I am really hating the loose skin that goes with the weight loss. Do you find that you have much loose skin?
Tons of loose skin
particularly bad around my neck, which i really hate, and the tops of my legs which aren't so much of a problem as i hide them! But i just ask myself did those areas look any better when they were filled with fat!!!
Top of my legs make a whoosh sound when I move now if I wear lose pants or a skirt so I don’t wear them. I cover my arms now also. I go back and forth on looking into skin removal surgery.

That is my highest step count in awhile on a non pool day. I am paying for it today but I am going to get in the hot tub and stretch before I swim.4 -

Question:
Tonight is the monthly potluck for our building. I am trying to decide if I will go. It’s the logging of the food that is worrying me. How do you log your meal if you go to a potluck?0 -

"Still very painful ... the rod that goes from my ankle to my knee is extremely painful"
I have a lot of problems with my right leg and had two procedures done on it recently. I understand what it's like to live with pain, I live with it on a daily basis. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.
I'm sorry you're going through this, hope the pain and foot/leg gets better soon and you can enjoy your life more.
Best Wishes, Karly2 -

I avoid human interaction at all costs. Certainly helps me keep the arrow pointing down lol.
I imagine I would just make a couple dishes to bring and only eat my own food unless there was something there I knew I could easily journal.2 -

I decided to skip it. Maybe next month. Thanks for your suggestion.MotivatedM3 wrote: »MotivatedM3

Trying to decide if I want to swim or do mini walks. I am tired today because much of last night I spent fighting the demon of the urge to nighttime eat. It was a tough battle but I won. 🙌.
Have a great Wednesday!

Question
What is your go to evening snack?

@lindamtuck2018
"Question
"What is your go to evening snack?'"
I don't have one. I don't like eating in the evenings before going to bed, because it bothers my sleep. I eat dinner by 6:00 p.m and don't eat again until after 10:00 a.m.2
