This is my first week on MFP. I started last Friday. So far, so good. I have tracked all of my calories for 5 days, drank way more water than usual, and have done a small workout every day. My goal is to lose 2 lbs per week.

I found some old (ancient?) photos yesterday and can hardly believe I was so tiny at one point in my life. So renewed focus here. If I did it once (mind you, years ago and better functioning everything), I can do it again.2 -

Nov 2: 192.4 Checked the xray results from monday and i'm stage 2 osteoarth in my lt knee. So fedup with more health issues. I'm already doing so much to reduce my probs. Guess this is a cattle prod (in the knee no less) to lose the weight.
Nov 3: 191.4 TGIF My mother is coming this weekend to visit to see Harvey. We usually go out for Sun breakfast. Have to stay on plan while she is here.

@dutchgirl188 Unfortunately, you can't really edit a post (you can for the first hour, then it's locked). So you can just copy your original post, and add to it in a new post.
Congrats on your success! 1 -

I hope you get some answers and ways to treat your knee, @cory17 . My knees have been terrible for years, and both of my parents suffer from knee issues, so I assume some of this is genetics. Some of it of course isn't. It definitely impacts what exercises I can/can't do.
I hope you have a great visit with your mom!

Thanks @ManifestingToday ! Definitely interested in what treatment had most impact for you? and whether you were able to avoid replacements, as thats what would like to avoid if possible?0

I really haven't had any treatments. When it flares, I have to wrap it with an ace bandage for some extra support (mostly my right knee), and elevate, advil, ice and heat, and generally rest it as much as possible. Once or twice it's gotten bad enough I've had to stay off of it for a day or two, using crutches, but it's been some time since I've had that happen. I go through some phases of doing leg exercises to strengthen the muscles around the knee, that helps a lot. If I lost weight, I'm sure that would help, but even at my fittest in my 20's I had knee issues from stair climbers and excessive exercise. I've been fighting this pretty much my entire adult life. But I don't do lunges, squats -- anything that is going to cause issues. My dad has had knee surgery twice. My mom is on meds for arthritis. I'm hoping to avoid both of those measures as long as possible.1 -

I have been fighting off a stomach bug for about 18 hours. I'm a little better today, but yesterday was unpleasant. Came on quick, and not 100% sure this isn't something bad I ate vs. a bug. My food intake is wonky because of it, so the numbers are going to fluctuate.1 -

Nov 9 189. Been so busy and have had migraine after migraine. Hoping those are going to be less often with me cutting dairy out (or eating it way less). Went my happy place this past weekend (Disney) so hoping it will help my mood and focus. Eating lots of fresh fruits and veggies.
You all are doing amazing!

I hope you are feeling better, and that the limiting dairy helps ward off the migraines, @jennigerding19 .

Nov 10: started back on MFP last week. Was on WW but I couldn’t stick with the plan. I’m scared to weigh myself hence the unknown starting weight. My goals for today are to stick with single portions and drink water. Baby steps.3 -
Welcome, @AliceK813 . My mom did well with WW. I found I couldn't stick with it.
Take this at whatever pace you need to. We're all working to go in the same direction. Wishing you success!

Jumping in late but here we go! My coworkers and I started a 10 week weight loss challenge this past Monday and I'm bound and determined to win the pool...or at least not come in last...haha.
I'm basically just drinking a ton of water, eating veggies for snacks and following a 16/8 intermittent fast schedule. I've been fasting from 6:30pm to 10:30am.
This morning, as I was working in my office (today's a remote day for me), my husband was making a breakfast sandwich for himself. The delicious smells wafting down the hall were k*lling me. He came in for something and I snapped at him. I apologized and said, "Sorry, I'm just hungry right now and I still have two hours to go." He said, "Just eat something and try again tomorrow."
No sir..I won't just "try" again tomorrow. Because when I do that, it turns into trying for 15 years and I'm just done with that!
