Think this loss has been stress related, now resolved. Nothing life threatening, just a potential huge disappointment. Feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
@kellyswimmer - a weight plateau is so frustrating especially when there seems to be no reason for it - try not to let number on the scales dis-rail the progress you have made already and remember 8lbs since May is still a good weight loss.2 -

Hi everyone, I'm back, and I brought 5+ lbs with me. 5+ lbs says hello. My husband and I both pretty much launched straight back into work following time helping a family member who experienced a loss. I fired up the Food Diary today, and will be using it for the forseeable future. Gotta get this back under control. I have been walking 2 miles a day.
I see we have some new faces in the group-- welcome @dannytrees1 , @ElfBodGoals , & @Overheadfan . Welcome back to everyone that's been part of these threads in previous months. I've missed a ton of posts, and I'll wade back through when I can. But I hope you all are doing well, and that you have a great Wednesday.4 -

I’m thinking I might need a high calorie meal just once to get this moving a bit. I’ve been under my calorie budget for a few days and also cycling a lot. Sometimes a big meal lets the body know it’s not in starvation mode.

This week we are in a big heat wave. Going to hit nearly 100 degrees today. Yesterday was 95 degrees and I was outside in the afternoon working in the heat a bit. By the time I got in the house I was not feeling well. Pretty sure I got dehydrated and sweated out 6 gallons of water so focusing on rehydrating today with some electrolytes.
Going to try to do a weighted vest treadmill session today.3 -
I am listening to A LOT of Ultra processed food videos on Youtube. Oh my how the chemicals are added to those items. Those items are not real foods. they are chemicals that are getting into your cells and making up your tissues.
Making your food choices easy should be "making your fridge" and household choices easy. Pay attention to the better choices when it comes to your food. AND make the real whole foods fun experiences. Real FOOD is not about Suffering. Its about HEALTH. Its about making YOUR body healthy so that YOU don't have to put your loved ones thru the pain and suffering of your food choices.
How did my mom get a heart attack last week? I believe its from the foods she had been chosing to eat. a LOT of fast foods, frozen meals, skip the fruit, skip the veggies, eat the ice cream. have the candybar. drink the soda.
How do you try to prevent, reduce, your risk?
My guess... eat WHOLE FOODS. Not chemicals.
The power is in our food.
Chips are processed inside your body more quickly than the same calories of a baked potato.
The potato is processed differently and does something MUCH MORE different to your stomach and microbiome and Cells. The Potato will make you feel different than the chips also. At least in my experience, the chips will lead you to feeling like a drug addict. Sad. ashamed. depressed. anxious.
All of which a whole potato has never done to me.
Next time you reach for the "factory food" think.... what is my body going to do with this once the tastebuds have died down?2 -

Well today I could feel a slight difference.
More energy- I got more stuff done today.
I felt lighter on my feet, I noticed it going up and down the stairs.
My game plan is working.
My knees have not been the greatest, because of all the climbing and ladder work I have done in my younger days.

@SofaKween Thank you. And congrats on signing up for the weights at the gym! I hope it goes well. Don't sit in the nervous feeling; assume this is going to be a great thing - they know you're new, they're going to take care of you and get you on the right track with this. You've got this!
@kellyswimmer I hope it was a good game!
@dannytrees1 You've made amazing progress so far this month - so happy for you! And a few of us have knee damage from the younger years too, I totally get it. You're doing great though!
@aurorabarajas1 I hope you continue to see good results with the morning fasting.
@HappyDonkey75 how did the weighted vest session go? I have a friend that used that technique for a while and enjoyed it.
@SherryRueter I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I hope that she is ok following a heart attack.1 -

high 90's again today.
@ManifestingToday - I started with the weighted vest about 2 months ago maybe and try to use it 1-2 times per week for either my treadmill (with incline and slow pace) or eliptical. I may have been overly optimistic when I purchased it because I bought a 25# vest. It was alot to carry and took a long time to get to 20 minutes of walking with it but I really do love it. It burns alot more calories and helps build strength while doing low impact workouts. Given my knee I can't do impact anymore.
@SofaKween - the 297 is definitely NOT my weight goal! thanks for noticing .its corrected

Weights yesterday was really tough. When I got there I was told we’d be doing bench press which I was relieved to hear as its probably the most simple of the three disciplines to learn. The reality was quite different – even the timing of the breath was challenging. No idea whether I enjoyed it or not – I am still so tired!
