One of the benefits of waking up in the middle of the night means I can get an early start to the day and have plenty of time for a morning walk - I just need to bundle up as it's getting COLD here!

Slow, steady and sustainable... up and moving more, eating more mindfully. I really didn't do anything different this week, but it's adding up.
Yes!!!!🎉1 -

Great losses and steps this week, everyone. I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Almost to the weekend! (My mantra this week).
You should be proud. That’s an amazing NSV.KarlysFreedom wrote: »Sorry, that I don't comment on here much. I try to read the comments daily or every other day.
I have a new doctor and she subscribed some new meds to help with an issue I was having. Hopefully, this will help me get back on track with losing weight.

Sorry, I'm late in responding back to your question.
Yes, I have support hose & wraps but they don't always stop my legs from swelling. Because, I have problems with the way my blood flows. Very slowly (poorly) which causes different problems in my legs/body.
I have venous reflux so I understand. Only have problems with my right leg. It’s painful. I can’t wear my compression stockings as my right leg still swells and I end up having to take that one off. I hope the new medication works.My NSV - Guess who is no longer obese! Made it to the overweight category! 😉
I got curious also. I am now in the overweight category. Congrats on your NSV! Thanks for making me realize I reached this milestone. I think you, me and @Slimmersixties need to have a no longer obese celebration.SW - 630

167 total pounds down and quite a bit to go, but I am well beyond the halfway point (which is pretty friggin cool). I was definitely worried after injuring my foot that I was going to struggle to break even, so definitely taking this as the biggest win of all time.

Well after 5 days in Barcelona, walking an average of 6 miles a day and eating not one single extra thing or having an alcoholic drink my weight is exactly the same. But it's OK because i know my body and I'm expecting a drop of 1.5 or 2lb tomorrow or the next day! It always takes a few days for the loss to show up (as opposed to the gains where 5lb can appear overnight!!!)
Congrats on sticking to plan.
It's painful for sure hahaha. Sounds like a have a couple of weeks of recovery ahead.0 -

I went for bloodwork yesterday. I can view my results online and my thyroid is low. It explains so many things. I really have been finding the cold, my skin is so dry, my hair is falling out and my mood(motivation) has been low. I am sure the doctor will call over the next few days and increase my thyroid medication. Very simple fix. Now if everything in life was that simple.
Small loss this week again but they add up. Less than 4 pounds to 💯 pounds lost. Off to do another walk!.
Happy FriYAY!
Heck yeah my friend! You're almost there!0 -

Hello everyone, Sorry I have been missing in action. Hubby and I went fishing at a lake he has wanted to fish for a while. It was beautiful but no cell service or internet. I will weigh in tomorrow if that is okay. I didn't have access to scales. Hopefully, it won't be a gain. I stayed in calorie count, but limited on exercises. So far I have been struggling with losing weight even with a large deficit. I have checked my portions and I checked with other trackers. The only thing I can think of is the timing of meals and sleep. They vary several hours from day to day. I am going to try to get that straight because I don't know what else to do to get the weight to come off. Anyway, I will post my steps tomorrow. I am glad to be back with you guys.2

Congrats on the loss, Are you weighing your food portions? If not you will be surprised how easy it is to be wrong when we eyeball it. Try it if you haven’t been. I am glad you had fun. What kind of fish did you get?MyChoiceisaGoodLife wrote: »MyChoiceisaGoodLife

Insane steps! How are you achieving more steps? I know you increased the distance of your but is there any other tricks you have? I know one thing I did is loop around the apartment for each piece of clothing I fold.
