Recovering from the flu. Thankfully my fever only lasted 1 day, but now I'm dealing with congestion and not breathing through my nose at night. My husband is on a work trip this week. So, he's missing all my snoring.
Welcome new members!
I'm Laura, about to turn 44. My husband and I just celebrated 20 years. I started homeschooling our 5 kids 3 years ago. The oldest is 15 and youngest just turned 4. We live in North Texas on 3 acres. We have honey bees and 19 chickens.2 -
I gained this week. 190.4. I am not overly surprised. Mentally I have not bounced back since Saturday. I have been stress eating at work. I need to get control over this!1

I can’t believe I made it into the 180’s. Let’s hope it keeps going that way. That’s because I had been working with toddlers for the last month. Half the time I didn’t get to eat or I would find my food half eaten someplace 3 hours later. I put a stop to that on Monday. I quit my job. I did have a new one lined up though.
Here’s my into…
Welcome new members and welcome back to everyone else. I’m Tracy, 52 and live in new Hampshire. This year I will be married for 30 years and we plan on taking a trip to Aruba. I have 2 boys, 1 is getting married this year. I also have 3 grandkids. I worked at my job in childcare for 25 years. In Aug they hired a new regional director and she made life hell for all. I was the director and she was making me take the fall for all her mistakes. Well last Thursday I gave my notice and on Monday I decided I wasn’t going to full fill it. That’s not something I would normally do. I only felt horrible for my granddaughter because she was there with me and she is having a hard time with me not being there. We hope that she will be removed from that school soon. I had a new job lined up and I am an assistant director in childcare. Anyways rant over.
I have been in this group a long time and I usually gain and lose the same 5 pounds but I am very happy to see that I have kept losing. I have been having back and leg issues. They say it’s time for surgery not I don’t want to do that with just starting the job. I had maybe wanted it before. I’m a little scared of having back surgery. I’m going to try yoga again but I hate yoga and try getting back into walking. It’s just tough. I was paying myself for working out but that didn’t really keep me motivated lol. But I will find something to help me keep going.

@ljdanny CONGRATULATIONS on getting into the 180s!! That’s fantastic!!
I really do recommend yoga and walking over surgery. My husband was going to need surgery for his arm due to nerve pain and also possible surgery for back pain, and yoga has resolved both issues for him. We go to a class or two every week at our local Y. Even if you don’t like it, if you commit to doing it once or twice a week IT WILL help!
You’re doing great! Looking forward to watching you continue your downward weight trend.1 -
The weekend is coming up. Think of two things that you can commit to for these next three days: Friday, Saturday & Sunday that can help you with your weight loss journey and post them here. Then give them a go!
Report back here each of the next 3 days letting us know if you met your 2 goals.1 -
I commit to:
1. Eating a large apple every day.
2. Drinking 8+ glasses of water every day.

Hi all,
@Laurabb99 - hope you're feeling better x Wow, homeschooling 5 kids - I am in awe!
@blessedgrandma5 - it's a new day, and you got this!
@ljdanny - woot, congrats on getting into the 180s! 🎉I'm trying to get back into gradual exercise again after back problems (thankfully not to the level of needing surgery). Have you possibly tried pilates? I've found a lot of the time if people hate yoga they quite like that - and vice versa. I used to do it a few years ago and it did help my back a lot. I should really try getting back to it lol.
@daria0919 - ooh, good idea
I commit to:
1. Hitting my step target every day.
2. Avoiding snacking (especially at night).
Well, TGI Friday at least, it's seemed like a long week! I was very good and resisted caramel shortcake at work today, and then someone decided to put one on my desk 'in case I change my mind'
Left it there so it really better have gone when I'm back in next week lol. Forgot to take lunch with me as well so the only option was Starbucks - had a no-chicken wrap, which wasn't terrible on the calories but I'm trying to avoid 'fast food' places as they've def been my downfall before.
Hoping the weather stays nice this weekend so I can get a bit longer walk in.1 -
I commit to
1. going for a walk
2. meditate
I missed Friday - worked from home all day and didn't get out. Could have in the evening but got bogged down with some paperwork. But, I will meditate before bedtime.0 -
Weigh in day Friday
Previous weight 180.1 lbs
Current weight 180.1 lbs
Well, I suppose at least I didn't go up. I am having a really hard time at the moment, very stressful and very tiring at work. I really struggle to plan meals and make healthy choices when I don't know what's happening. 2 more weeks to go before half term, I can't wait to have a week off.
My friend kindly gave me 3 recipe books so my plan this weekend is to have a look and chose a couple of meals that I can batch prep for the week
@daria0919 with the time difference I missed Friday so I will do Saturday, Sunday and Monday
I commit to
1- avoid chocolate snacking
2- do either a pilates or a yoga workout
@ljdanny well done on your loss! I second @podperson1 pilates is also good for bad back. I did it when I hurt my back and throughout my pregnancy and it really helped0
