    @Navydaddjtc - my thoughts are with you, take care.

    @quiarga - wow! Well done! So impressive!

    Today was ok with sensible food choices and a good session at body combat. Steps stepped and a reasonable amount of water drunk. If only the scales would recognise these continued efforts!!!

    My treadmill died, we are getting a new one on Monday. Right now I am all in with the weight lifting. Tonight we did legs and abs... anyone have any recommendations for a cardio video they like on YouTube. We are gonna get some wintery stuff this weekend and bitter cold so no walks are gonna happen. Still struggling with keeping up with all things MFP as I can't see anything on this app now that i dont have the capability to get on the web at work 😜

    Hallelulja! After gain after gain last year (.... oops.) and two weeks of maintains I am SUPER HAPPY with a wee half pound off this week.
    At group my consultant was talking about how half a pound is often frowned upon when people lose it, saying things like, "It's 'just' half a pound", but it's half a pound closer to where we want to be and sometimes after a bad run of it we can lose half a pound and be so happy that it feels like more. Honestly I felt like she was talking to me LOL, and she hadn't even gotten to me yet.
    She reminded us that half a pound is a block of lard which makes it seem more real. One guy lost 7lbs and she said that's 14 blocks of lard... it kinda hits you, doesn't it? Imagine walking into the supermarket and picking all that up :D

    I have started to log my food again, baby steps though! I may not stick with it - esp when there are days with binges and I'm too shameful - but I'm trying. Tomorrow will test me as I'm going out for a meal and drinks... I might just put in a custom calorie amount.

    @KelGen02 Jessica Smith TV on Youtube is great as well for different kinds of workouts from beginner onwards. I love that she's really nice and doesn't talk down to you as a viewer. Plus her French Bulldog is in the background in a lot of videos and she's super cute :D

    Good Morning
    I am feeling like I am getting a cold. Why is it when most people get sick, they have no appetite but I am over here wanting to eat everything in sight?

    Week 3
    Previous week: yikes I forgot but I think it was the same as now.
    Current week: 221.4

    Even though I’m very disappointed in my weight gain, I am proud of myself for a few things.

    Thank you all!

    I feel your pain, i have been burning over 1000 calories at least 5 days a week for the past two weeks and am only gaining or staying the same. The struggle is real....but the silver lining is, measurements. Take them!! I don't know how many times it has saved my sanity. It really shows you that your body is still moving and shaping, regardless of the stubborn scale.

    It died - or you killed it! There is a difference you know... If you killed it, that means you are using the heck out of it and that's a victory.

    Couldn't tell you, because I am like you. I am pretty much eating at maintenance this week because I just want to get over this 8 weeks of bronchitis.

    I'm in the opposite camp where I have no appetite. Usually I'm ravenous.
