Day/Weight/Comment:
01/28: (no weight) - So I went out and got a bit bevved on Saturday so spent most of Sunday hungover hugging the sofa, I still ate within my calories but I didn't manage to drag myself onto the scale haha.
01/29: 122.1kg/269.2lbs - Yeah I'll take this, imagine there is some beer weight still floating around in me. Back to the gym today and ready to smash this week again. Aiming for another 2/3lbs loss however my scales are being very indecisive, may have to look at investing in a new one.
01/30: 120.7kg/266.1lbs - YESSS, my lowest weight in a long time. Starting to wear shirts I haven't in a long time, it's a great feeling. Meal preps for lunch still going strong with 2/3ltrs of water a day and gym 4 times a week.
01/31: 120.8kg/266.3lbs - I know it's nice seeing a drop but stability is key too, more than happy to stay in the 120s for a few days, I am expecting a big drop soon though. Cardio today, managed to run 5k the last couple of weeks but really want to push myself and get closer to 7.5k and edge my way towards 10k. Onward and *DOWNWARD*.
02/01: 121.0kg/266.7lbs - Forget what I said yesterday, I WANT A DROP PLEASE. I had a late night and skipped cardio as my legs are still sore from Tuesday. Back to the gym tonight and probably another late night as the other half is working late. I know I'm on a loss overall this round but I could really do with the boost of seeing some numbers drop - still dreaming of sub 120kg.
02/02: 121.0kg/266.7lbs - It's not an increase?! Thought I could use today to tell you all a little more about me, I work a sedentary job in York, England. I have always been that heavy kid in school, however I have always been fairly tall so manage to hide it somewhat well. Played a lot of rugby as a kid/teen and rowed a lot at university and these both saw my weight fluctuate massively, I even shifted 50lbs in one summer (3months) which crept back on over the following year. I made it my goal on boxing day (didn't want to wait till 1st of Jan) to try to make a lifestyle change for myself, to help myself become more happy and confident in myself. This is not a diet, a fad or a period of short lived exercise, it is my way of trying to achieve a sustainable and achievable lifestyle.
- Sidenote: Dear body, please drop soon. I'm away this weekend so will not be able to post/weigh in!
02/03: (no weight) Weekend away in Northumberland, went on a long walk along the beach but did have several beers across the weekend with the odd bag of crisps.
02/04: (no weight) Went for a longish walk again but didn't eat the healthiest, it was a weekend break though and I am chasing a sustainable lifestyle, a lifestyle where i can have the odd beer or share a packet of crisps. Amazing weekend overall, I did indulge but not overly so.
02/05: 120.9kg/266.5lbs - Amazing, I dropped even weekend!! I imagine I'm also holding onto some water weight too, so here's hoping for one more drop tomorrow - I am happy overall with the loss this round though.

Round 28 start weight - 143.20
Round 29 start weight - 140.90
Round 30 start weight - 137.90
Loss to date - 13.5lbs
Had a great round 29 so hoping it continues - R30 goal is 136lb.....
01/28 138.4lb - unsurprisingly slightly up - yesterday (although not over calories allowance) I spent my whole day at the computer, drinking coffee and too little water and didn't hardly move at all. I'm an accountant and its tax return deadline on Wednesday 31st so really busy. More of the same today too ....... must have more water today if nothing else........
01/29 139.1lb - not unusually I weigh more on a Monday - the usual full Sunday roast and dessert (all in calories just a lot of food concentrated in the evening!). And on top of that the whole weekend spent in front of a computer. So am happy with this especially as still under the 140lbs! No reason this won't be a good week
01/30 139.4lb - not surprised! Caught my kids cough and cold and was up half the night drinking water trying to stop myself coughing so drank loads plus had lemsips and hot drinks! However my calories and macros yesterday were spot on (as was my fluid intake!!) so know this is the scales lying to me
01/31 138.20 - my usual fall on the scales on a Wednesday post weekend. Still not back to my all time low of last week but only by 0.30lb which I'll allow myself as still full of cold so still dosing up on lemsips and cough medicines! Went to the gym last night but not a 100% effort as feel rough - but I went so pleased with that. Will keep drinking plenty, eating sensibly and watch those scales continue to go down! A new month tomorrow and closer to Spring
02/01 139.10lb - up and down this round. Was within my calories again yesterday so can only assume its due to lack of activity (stuck behind computer due to tax return time of year) and feeling rough so been having lemsips and cough pastilles. And to top it off TOM is imminent so feeling bloated. Tax all done now though and hoping cough and cold is on its way out so can only gt better. BUT - I have throughout it all still remained under 140 .......
02/02 138.40lbs - up, down, up, down this round. Maybe my body is adjusting to its new weight? Body fat measurement at the gym last night and gone down 1.80% in January - yay!!!!
Seem to be over the worst of my cold but TOM imminent and I'm away overnight. But all still good as staying under 140lb so all good Got healthy snacks for the 5 hour car journey this evening, will enjoy my hotel breakfast tomorrow with the aim of staying sensible and try to not indulge in take-away rubbish tomorrow. Back to weigh in on Sunday morning again.
02/03 Away overnight - unable to weigh
02/04 137.60lb
02/05 139.70lb - behaved over the weekend when away - weight was down yesterday but back up today (usual Monday morning excess "weight" after the family Sunday roast - ate later yesterday too as had loads of family round for dinner for my parents wedding anniversary. Given my cough and cold all last week as well, diet was ok but exercise wasn't full on so I'm not expecting to finish this round on a record low but staying under 140 makes me very happy! Back to usual today so will be lower tomorrow and then I aim to be back to it fully next round

This is one woman that's back for more. Thank you @cyranda63 for continuing to create the rounds and make the group. You've been a HUGE support in my weight loss journey. Now, let's do this! "Your body can stand almost anything. It's your mind you have to convince."
OSW: 202
SW: 161
GW:160
UGW: 125
1/28:
159 3 days of making sure my carbs and sodium stay stay within my goal. 3 days of dropping my one pop that I allow myself everyday and substituting it for hot tea, and I show a loss. A 2 lb loss, which appears to be my WHOOSH! Now let's hope it sticks and continues. Yesterday, I threw a surprise 30th anniversary party for my family. I ate well and within my calories. I even skipped the cake I had made for them. It paid off. "Junk food you've craved for an hour, or the body you've craved for a lifetime. Your decision."
1/29: 159 My nephew turned 7 today. We went to his house to celebrate. I once again chose to skip the dessert. Then again, it was red velvet cake, so it wasn't too hard. That stuff is nasty! "Look in the mirror. That's your competition."
1/30: 158.2 It was a crazy day today. It's National Catholic Schools Week, and it kept me hopping at work. I also took my 14-year-old son out for some 1:1 time to dinner. It was really nice. PLUS I found out my 9-year-old son is Student of the Week. "The best project you'll ever work on is you."
1/31: 158.8 I usually eat dinner by 6 p.m., but I had to work until 7:30 last night. It was family day, and all of us teachers honored our parents and students by cooking them a meal and serving them last night. So, I ended up eating late. Dont like the bump up, but it happens. There is one thing I am learning. "The secret of losing weight is patience."
2/1: 158.2 Let me see 158 before the end of this challenge, PUH-LEASE! I know I met my goal already, but I want to get back to my new low. I'm so close."Suffer the pain of discipline or suffer the pain of regret."
2/2: 158.6 Whiplash! Lol "Don't stop trying just because you hit a wall. Progress is progress no matter how small."
2/3 157.6 I'm really liking this number. Had lunch with my son yesterday. He was chosen as student of the week. I also took my Momma out bowling. I had such fun, but boy, was it a killer on the back. I also bought some new foods to try this week. Hopefully it helps."Be stronger than your excuses."
2/4 158.8 I ate well, stayed within my calories and macros, stayed within the range of carbs I set for myself too, but I didn't drink enough at all. I also ate about 3 or 4 handfuls of movie popcorn because I took my 9-year-old out to see Paddington 2 yesterday. It could have been worse, and when he offered me more, I did say no thank you. OH!!!! I also tried out several new products that I've never had before. I was scared to do it due to my severe food allergies, but I didn't have a single issue. I can now add more things to my list that I can consume. "Losing weight is hard. Being fat is hard. Pick your hard.
2/5 159 I'm really scratching my head here. I totally don't get it. "When you feel like quitting,
think about why you started."

@UTMom81 I was so good this weekend also, and you'd never guess it because of the number on the scale either.

1/28:: 240 - It's getting easier to eat less food. The Intermittent Fasting is still very hard during breakfast when I'm cooking eggs, bacon, french toast for the kids.
1/29:: 238.7 - 1350 kcal food intake - it's getting easier to pass up the sweet foods. I just gotta keep telling myself it's not worth it. It's days like today when I reach my nutrient goals but yet still have open kcal available. I'm going to start doing smoothies for lunch everyday. Fasting during work days are super easy.
1/30:: 238.7 - 1101 kcal intake - I was planning to fast all day long however the wife tempted me with homemade chicken and dumplings... Well to say the least once I started eating I just wanted more. So I stopped at my kcal goal.
1/31:: 238.7 - 1201 kcal intake - I'm starting to get frustrated the scale isn't moving. It's becoming like groundhog day.
2/1:: 238.2 - I stayed up entirely too late to see the blood moon last night. Seeing the scale change has been a well needed relief. Little did I know I was going to need that bump in motivation. Today has probably been the hardest not to eat junk food. Then to make matters worse, leadership brought in a huge stack of pizzas for us today. I smiled, thanked them and walked away... The smell has filled my office making it extremely tempting... Especially when I know they have my favorite out there. Pepperoni and Bacon. That's made my vegetable smoothie very lack luster to drink. I just keep telling myself that a craving isn't worth back tracking for.
2/2:: 237.6 - My morning was fantastic. Very productive. Not even slightly tired. Feeling great! However my afternoon made everything interesting... They ordered pizza again and I scummed to the madness. I had 2 slices and 2 cheese sticks. After about 30 minutes I had really bad heartburn, headache, abdominal cramps. I know my son has a problem with gluten... Today has been the first day I had any large amounts of bread and it really messed me up. My entire afternoon was very difficult. No energy. Mental fog.
2/3:: 235.6 - I woke up feeling decent. As my day went on things got better. Smoothie for lunch. Starting to feel great. However I was tempted with donuts... I had 2 and everything I described from yesterday applied today as well. Everything just fell apart on me.
2/4:: 236.6 - I think the gain was from drinking a ton of water right before bed. We'll see in morning. Today was okay. Nothing special. I tested out the gluten thing today. I definitely react to it and not in a good way at all. I really love my breads and this is going to be really hard.
2/5:: 236.6 - I'm really confused how I'm staying the same weight. I've been keeping my calories between 1200-1400. Today I broke my intermittent fasting with breakfast. Definitely blew my calorie goal out of the water. It's okay. Tomorrow is a new day and I'll pick myself up and try again. I'll get this weight off... I'm already lighter than I've been in years. I'm going to be traveling soon and plan on fasting for several days. We'll see how that goes.
2/6::8 -
@bradcharlessimmons sounds like you had an awesome weekend. Do you usually count calories? Once I get down to the weight I want, I'm planning to start adding beer back to my diet. Then again it may just be liquors, we'll have to see.0

5’0” 47yo female. Sw-106 Gw 103.2
Day/Weight/Comment
01/28; 106.0 - My Birthday - Didn't weigh in, had buffet lunch and spent the day riding in the car to/from grandmas. I have my meals planned for 1/29 and this board will help me stay accountable.
01/29: 107.0 - I mean, I didn't want this number, but it is what it is and it reflects what I've been doing. eating too much crap, not focused and just beating myself up mentally. I'm ready for that to change. I want tomorrows number to be better. Surprising enough, last week I had a 104.6 number...so I know this is feasible for this challenge. Goal tomorrow is to be 106.x
1/30: 105.4 - Woosh, there it is. High Fat yesterday, and the scale showed it. I will keep high fat again today as I just loved how it made me feel, satiated and not craving.
1/31: 103.8 - Day 2 of intermittent fasting. Today I did One 4 hour eating window and wow, look at the results. My last meal was finished at 1230pm, so technically, If I'm not hungry, I can maybe make this an entire 24hour fast. I love the number on the scale. I'm in disbelief at how well checking in with this group has made me focus. I honestly expected this weight on day 10 instead of day 4. Macros ; Fat:55% Carb:25% Protein:15%
2/1: 105.2 - Carb day yesterday, arund 130g so, i'm not shocked by this. Its still less then before and gives me motivation to do well today with Keto style eating and keeping carbs to a minimum. #noBarsTodayPeeps
2/2: 105.8 - Still had around 130g carbs yesterday. I really didn't want to get on the scale. Also had chicken tenders with plenty of salt for supper. Trying to get the mind right. At least I'm still working out. I hope (plan) to be more compliant today.
2/3 104.4 - Amazeballs, Motivation to eat healthy today just because of this number. #mindset Also, need to meal plan. OH, and I got a job offer and accepted it. Start date is Feb 12. YAY! SO relieved!
2/5 105.2 Now its time to workout. I did pretty good yesterday with eating clean and higher fat. Gonna nail it today!9 -

01/28
01/29
01/30..144.4 Did 75 on ellip yesterday. Goal for this round is to getto or below 143.4- baby steps. Lots of stress in home life not helping lately
01/31...144.4 Did another 75 on ellip yesterday and ate well within macros. Today, gym.
02/01... 145 Went to gym yesterday and got a great workout in. Went out for a belated birthday happy hour and I'm hoping water retention from wine, etc is reason for weight increase. Today, a day of virtue. Happy Thursday.
02/02... 144 ok, down a bit. Need to lose .6 to reach goal for this round. Doable. Today, a pool class and perhaps some gym. Happy Friday.
02/03.. 144.4 Did a 45 min pool aqua aerobics yesterday. So much fun. Ae sensibly. No wine. 3 days left ot lose 1.1 pounds.
02/04... 143.6 Not sure why the big drop but I'll take it. Got chicken marinating last night for a great Mediterranean chicken dish that has green olives for dinner today. That and spinach for me and some rice too for the others. I'm prepared. Maybe the gym.
02/05.. 143.4 .. goal for this round. Now to continue back down. Yesterday, 35 min ellip, great workout at gym and sensible, healthy meals. Today, ellip and some chicken fried rice using cauliflower rice and lots of other veggies. New week, new enthusiasm.
02/067 -
Here we go again! Another 10 days. I love the accountability of this group and challenge, everyone is so motivating and supportive! Wouldn't be where I am without all you long term 10 dayers....looking forward to getting to know the new ones
SW - 182.4 - March 2017
original GW - was 145- met this target in October
new GW - 140
I was maintaining a 143ish average nicely up until Christmas and my crazy gift show season in January and things have crept up to about 145. It could be worse so I'm not stressing over it but I know I've lost some fitness over the last month and a half and want to get back in control of things. I will start back into my cardio and strength routine and daily calorie logging this round...I've been a bit slack as of late. I would like to get under 140 slowly over the next couple of months so I won't be to aggressive with my calorie deficit.
1/27 - 145.0 - coming in from round 29 with a rolling 7 day avg of 145.5
01/28 - 144.2 - feeling a bit run down this morning...will get out for a walk with the dog and some housework today...nice to see it under 145 though.
01/29 - 146.4 - Bleh!! Did not eat well yesterday and I can feel the bloat...back to tracking and logging today.
01/30 - 146.2 - took the dog for a 3.5km walk yesterday morning and did a full kettlebell work out after dinner...muscles are a bit tight today...
01/31 - 144.6 - knew this would be down...I was "flushing" the water weight what seemed like every half hour yesterday. Hit the elliptical and did an express kettlebell work out...going to take a break from the weights today and just bundle up and take the dog for a good walk this morning.
02/01 - 145.2 - Meh...a few too many carbs yesterday...
02/02 - 144.6 - back here, having a hard time with the evening snacking this week....need to plan better to make them fit in my targets.
02/03 - 144.0 - Yay! coming down! Have a kid home with a virus...madly keeping him contained to the cootie zone and cleaning so it doesn't spread to the rest of us but I did get a good 50 minutes in on the elliptical yesterday
02/04 - 143.0 - a small Whoosh! Just in time for TOM to arrive and bloat it back up again LOL...or maybe not...I can only hope.
02/05 - 145.0 - Hormone bloat...

2nd Round.
MFP SW 210
R29 SW 189.2 EW 186.6
Focused on making good choices for my overall health.
01/28 184.6 Thankful and curious about the sudden drop the last few days. My weight was slowly going down the last couple of weeks, and now BOOM, the loss shows up. I'll be looking for patterns over the next month. I'm thinking it was water retention during TOM.
01/29 184.2 I worked out hard since I knew I couldn't get to the gym today. (Walk/Run intervals and weight training) I'm expecting these losses to slow down any day now, but I'm hoping not to gain back.
01/30 184.4 Ate A LOT of carbs yesterday- gotta get my veggies in today! Feeling good physically and feeling great about making healthier choices consistently over the last month.
01/31 184.2
02/01 185.2 The end of the month is stressful because of work. Didn't eat enough yesterday, didn't work out, and didn't drink much water! Today will be a great day, though!!
02/02 183.6 Still didn't get in all my calories, but I got close. Headed to the gym. Today won't be so busy, so I should be able to get my water in. Cheers to the weekend!
02/03 185.0 No worries! Macros were way off because I indulged in Tequila and Mexican food (my favs). But I'm ecstatic about jogging 30 minutes straight for the first time in a long time, and I didn't break the calorie bank! “It doesn't get easier; you just get better at it.”
02/04 184.4 This week has been hectic, so I haven't been as diligent in food choices. But I'm feeling well- more energy, less unhealthy cravings, and I'm getting physically stronger. I'm planning to up all my weights next week and will be working on getting my macros on point.
02/05 183.8 I survived Superbowl LII!!

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 - 227.4 lbs
01/29 - 226.6 lbs. It is becoming easier and easier each day to think of this as my new normal and not a diet.
01/30 - 227.2 lbs. ate my 1500 cal, sodium was at 1400 mg. Guessing it's because I woke up an hour earlier than normal?
01/31 - 227.0 lbs
02/01 - 226.6 lbs. Think my body is finally adjusting to waking up an hour earlier.
02/02 - 226.0 lbs. Arg. It was TOM that made me jump up (didn't even think about that possibility).
02/03 - 226.6 lbs I'm just all over the place this week.
02/04 - 225.4 lbs Hooray? Hoping tomorrow doesn't bring another jump up
02/05 - 225.6 lbs. A jump, but atleast not a bad one! I will take it.

@I tested out the gluten thing today. I definitely react to it and not in a good way at all. I really love my breads and this is going to be really hard.
I feel you on the gluten problem! I have been intolerant for 17 years and it was very hard for me to cut it out since I just love everything gluten. However, in the long run your body will love you if you try not to eat it. You can also try moderation and eating gluten bread every other day or so. I know I can get away with this without too much problems.2 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28: 120.5 lbs. yesterday was my cheat day. This is what the cheat day did to my hardworking: gained 1 lb.
01/29: 121.4 lbs. hmm... I have done so well last round. Then I started a cheat day on last Saturday. I only had moderate carbs, but the damage is big. So, cheat day won’t work? Here is from Mr. Google: Carbs break up keto Cheating Affects Your Fat Adaptation. Your body has to make changes, such as altering specific hormones and increasing enzyme production, to optimize conditions for burning fat as fuel on a ketogenic diet. Having cheat meals regularly can prevent your body from continuing this process long enough to stay in ketosis.
01/30: 120.3 lbs... try to get back to ketosis!
01/31: 119.8 lbs. Had one of the best Zumba class with a crazy dancer. Lol she inspired me to move fast, fast, and faster!
02/01: 120.5 lbs. don’t know why it went up. I did everything supposed to do: eating right, went to gym! Frustrated! However, I did dry January!
02/02: 120.5 lbs. No progress no matter how hate I try. What’s wrong??
02/03: 120.3 lbs. bought ketone strip. I am at moderate level. I need to just keep going. Last night ketone was moderate and this morning is a trace.
02/04: 119.9 lbs. slowly!
02/05: 118.9 lbs. I didn't do anything differently. Try to stick with keto meal, and try to ignore the scale.

Also question for everyone, I am being lame sorry.. what is TOM?xx
Thanks. Hubby is getting better, just needs some time to heal. I’m staying home to make sure he doesn’t overdo it.
TOM is time of month for having your period.

This group challenge has really been helping me through the fluctuations. I had a really bad tendency to get frustrated and think that I'll never get there. Definitely getting stronger so the slow pace is expected. But I have been a bit lazy on my diet. If I want this I'm the only one who can do it for me.

01/28 - 187.6 - Ordering some new clothes to replace worn ones. Hopefully that'll be inspiring.
01/29 - 187.6 - Holding. Though morale is good. Temps are back up and my Tshirts I haven't been wearing are fitting nicer.
01/30 - 187.2 - Training yesterday. Going to climb up our mini mountain today.
01/31 - 187.6 - Mountain did not go, met a friend for lunch instead. Training today.
02/01 - 187.2 - Training was cancelled so I did our mini mountain walk yesterday. Nice weather for it.
02/02 - 188 - Huh, weird. Did the mountain walk again yesterday. Going out tonight.
02/03 - 188.2 - Training and heavy eating yesterday. Digestion feeling slow. Probably should drink more water.
02/04 - 187.8 - At least we're going in the right direction.
02/05 - 186.2 - That's a new low.

@bradcharlessimmons sounds like you had an awesome weekend. Do you usually count calories? Once I get down to the weight I want, I'm planning to start adding beer back to my diet. Then again it may just be liquors, we'll have to see.
I did have an awesome weekend thanks! Yes, I'm a big advocate of counting calories however it's unrealistic to be 100% accurate all of the time. Beer wise I always remember the average pint of lager is around 200 kcal, so I can usually build it into my weekends if I opt for a smaller lunch or some heavy cardio or move to gin and diet tonic (50kcal max, usually). Being a student a couple of years ago I could sink up to 24 pints in a sitting (big sesh I know) but looking back; that is horrendous, calorific and damaging to my liver.
Congrats on the loss so far this round by the way, how are you finding the fasting?2 -

@quiltingjaine You have so many tips! Thanks! My recent issue I'm sure stems from emotional/hormonal imbalance. From being worried about not having a job, and then my husbands grandmother passing away last week. Its been stressful for me, and I ran to processed carbs. Now that I know I will be employed, I'm feeling very empowered to kick this into HIGH keto! Fat will keep me satisfied! Yes, I have made fat bombs. They are awesome little things. Sunday went very well, I'm going to keep it a going!.1 -

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 142.7 (over on sodium- Mexican restaurant- estimated logging- 60 min. elliptical- ate back all or more)
01/29 141.4 (30 min elliptical, ate back all calories)
01/30 141.2 (11 min elliptical; Body Pump Class: ate back all calories)
01/31 142.9 (60 min elliptical; under calorie goal; higher sodium day, but not over)
02/01 143.2 (Body Pump Class; over by 20 calories-1220 net- slightly over on sodium- maybe TOM weight too?)
02/02 143.9 (50 min elliptical; at back most calories-weight gain is frustrating when in deficit- probably TOM)
02/03 143.1 (50 min elliptical; ate back all calories; still no TOM, but probably why weight jumped up this week)
02/04 144.5 (35 min elliptical; WAY over calories-like over 1000 over- TOM-gave in to serious cravings)
02/05 148.1 no exercise; no tracking; ate alot. So after about a month of almost daily exercise and netting 1200 calories my weight can go up by so much and so quickly. So do I have to net 1200 for life to not gain? Frustrated. I know it's water retention mostly, but I want to eat what I want ONCE IN A WHILE without worry. Twice now I've had weight swings of 7 pounds within the same 10 day challenge. Do I need a low sodium diet?

Day/Weight/Comment
01/28 139.8lb absolutely stuffed myself on salty foods last night
01/29 138.2 had no appetite yesterday, was very busy. Weight sure to bounce back up again. As long as it’s not in the 140’s!
01/30 137.2 this is a nice surprise! Practiced last night, Sunday night we went out dancing for a couple hours.
01/31 137.8 got in yoga, a run, and some dancing yesterday but also ate a lot, including more salt and sugar than i should.
02/01 138 salt, why can’t I quit you? Going to dinner and a musical in another city tonight, so lots of sitting and sure to exceed food limits.
02/02 137.2 Early appointments this morning, then worked out with a fitness specialist, ran despite the weather, and practiced yoga for an hour. Was feeling great until I fainted and hit my head super hard. Should have drank more water before all the activity!
02/03 ?? honestly I forget my weight because never had time to record it. Went straight from work to ER where my husband was waiting for emergency appendectomy. Thank God he’s OK!
02/04 135.8 not a real loss: didn’t eat or drink yesterday in the ER. Hubby back home and recovering but we haven’t had hardly any sleep. Not exercising yet- I’m still sore from my fall. Oh the bumps and bruises
