    Hey everyone - I’ve seen a couple posts about people not being able to copy and paste to updat their weights - what i do is I keep my progress in my notes on my phone, fill it out on there then copy them from my notes and post them on here

    I used to struggle to copy on here too, that’s why I started doing it that way

    Hope that helps some people :)
    Just an idea for you all x

    Thanks so much for that I wasn't having trouble copying, but finding my previous posts. I've always taken a note of what page my post was on but it wasn't always there when I came back. So frustrating having to scroll through looking for it. Such a simple solution but so helpful. Thanks.

    Happy Sunday, everyone!

    Well, I did not post last Sunday, I was feeling awfully sick. By Tuesday morning I knew I wasn't getting better without help so I went to the ER. My gallbladder was inflamed and infected. I was admitted to hospital and had the angry organ removed on Thursday afternoon. Came home Friday morning and am recuperating.

    I hadn't been able to eat or keep any food down from Monday afternoon until Thursday evening, but was on IV fluids so I managed to GAIN 10 lbs!!! It is starting to go down again, about half is gone again, and my digestive tract is making noises like a zombie horde...I will spare you more details. My surgeon said my gallbladder was the size of a baseball and my gallstone was over 2 cm in diameter. Fun times... You know it's bad when the surgeon is impressed! 😁

    Looking forward to feeling normal again. The gallstone wasn't a surprise, I have known it was there for some years, it only bothered me occasionally and for short periods of time, until last week. Wouldn't wish that discomfort on anyone.

    Highest weight ever: 254 in October 1999.

    Lowest since 1999: 195.

    Original starting weight: 243 in 2015.

    MFP Starting weight December 25th, 2016: 233

    Goal: 180 in however long it takes.

    Weekly averages:
    October 22 - 28: 200.8
    October 29 - November 4: 200.8
    November 5 - November 11: 200.7 -started feeling really icky.
    November 12 - November 18: ?? Messed up, post-surgery

    Loss for November: 0.1 lbs.

    MFP Loss: 32.3 lbs

    Total cumulative loss since mid 2015: 42.3 lbs

    Until next week...

    Move more, eat less.

    My sister went through that years ago, so I understand how you feel. Glad you're on the mend. Take care of you, so you can catch up on some fishin'!

    Not weighing in until the end of the month but I have been upping my workouts since the holiday food is getting more plentiful! So it's all about the workouts now. Not completely giving up eating better just allowing myself to joy the holidays. I've been eating soups lately, which is an easy meal prep for me, but on the weekends, I'll enjoy some cookies and other treats. The compromise is to double-up my activity. Moving more, because I'm not eating less! :wink:

    Not a perfect plan, just a realistic one.
