As many of you know, Greg aka @Navydaddjtc, Captain of Workout Warriors and Mod, has been ill the last few weeks. He will be having surgery in the near future and has asked for help.
Our @melissafeagins has stepped up and agreed to captain the Warriors in Greg’s absence. Let’s all give a big shout out to Melissa for stepping up to the plate and helping our sister team!!!
THANK YOU MELISSA!!!!!
I reserve the right to visit and motivate here, but I am happy to help out with the Warriors.
We stole her back! LOL

Sorry I have been MIA the last day.
I have had a lot of chest pains so went to urgent care and hospital yesterday. They ruled out a heart attack. They think I should get a mammogram due to family history.
I saw my family doctor today and he thinks I just tore/pulled a piece of cartilage in my chest and prescribed a steroid and said I just have to suffer through it for 6-12 weeks. UGH1 -

Sorry - I know that doesn't feel to good and really doesn't help you when it comes to running... I am glad it wasn't anything serious...
If it makes you feel any better, you are not alone... I have Tennis Elbow which is basically a tear in the tendons that connect the muscles of the arm to the bone of the elbow. I have to wear an elbow band for a while. Man does it hurt, especially when picking things such as cups up to drink.0 -
@Beka3695 sorry my steps tracking is not the most consistent as I just use my phone, yet often put it down!
2/3 8813
2/4 4172
2/5 834 (see: must have had my phone on the table instead of on me for too much of this day. It was a quiet day at home but should still have been four digits).
2/6 10,029
So for backup only - I see a few people have been hit by illness, and hope they get better soon

Week 1
SW 174
CW 173.8
I just got back from being a the NC Junior Beta Convention with my daughter for three days. It was a chaotic event with slam packed schedules and not a lot of good food options, but somehow I managed to end this week with a (very small) loss. I did use the stairs instead of the elevator nearly the entire time I was there (room was on the 8th floor) and I got up Tuesday morning and went to the hotel fitness center for an hour.
I weigh in the mornings usually and didn't have my scale with me, so my CW is from this evening. I'm hoping that in the morning my actual loss will be more, but I'll let that show for next week.
My goals for this week:
*Walk at lunchtime as many days as possible and continue going to the gym every morning at 5:30.
*Eat at least two meatless meals this coming week.
*Pay more attention to my sugar intake this week.1 -

I’ve changed my diet from yesterday. Should be interesting to see how it goes. I was doing keto, so it’s very weird to be starting the day with some overnight oats... very tasty though. Shall see what the week brings.0

@ShowKitten What is your opinion about Keto. Did it help you reach your goals? I always wanted to do Keto, but it is very tough to stay within 50g of carbs for vegetarians. Btw, overnight oats 👍.1

I really liked keto, in 2017 I lost 50 lbs on it. My main problem is that I love vegetables so I found it hard not eating a lot of carrots etc. I've switched off it this year as I have new medication which is giving me a lot of stomach issues and a lot of the foods I liked eating on keto are aggravating this - I actually looked about 9 months pregnant last week - so Ive switched to Slimming World so I can up my vegetables. Plus, this lets me have little treats if I put them as 'syns'. The last part of Jan I went over on carbs and thought "feck it" and went totally off the wagon and had everything.
Keto is great if you don't cheat. If you don't do it 100% it doesn't really work.0 -

Huge hugs to everyone having troubles this week. My mother's bf has really swollen legs and he fell down twice yesterday. We had to call an ambulance. The first responders got him up and sitting, which was a huge relief for him. By the time I headed home, he was finally eating something and keeping his legs elevated. He had gone to see his doctor on Monday and will be going again today or tomorrow. They're waiting on bloodwork and for the meds he's taking to take effect. To top of off, I had spent 6 hours on the road picking up my friend post-surgery and bringing her back to her place. I had to leave her abruptly to drive to my mom's bf's house. Thankfully my friend has her mother with her so I didn't have to race back there. It was quite the day yesterday.1 -

50lb, that is awesome. I have to loose 21lb before August. My main issue is I have high% of body fat. Given my heavy cardio training, I am struggling to loose the fat. I have started to eat more protein and less carbs(100g net carbs) and hoping that it will help me shed some fat during the pre season before major training kicks in.0 -
I wanted to share my little victory for the day:
I’ve figured my halfway point before but I couldn’t remember what it was. I wanted to see how far away I was from it as a mini goal. I’ve already passed it! That includes a loss, regain, and my current losing streak. I’m so jazzed!
Highest weight: 225
Weight Dec 30 2018: 205
Current weight: 179.9
Goal weight: 135 (then reassess)5 -
Good morning from California where I am looking at a gorgeous view of the Pacific!
I’m not sure how accurate my daughter’s scale is & my ankles are very swollen from the travel & steroids, but here it is;

My goal this week is to keep to Keto like I have been for the past 5 weeks. I’m sure I will see the weight drop when I get home.

2/6 6,705
I’m aiming for 7k steps today. Hope everyone has a great day!1 -

Did I miss you saying you were doing SW? *blinks* Good to have you on board! There are so many instagram accounts for motivation. Do you do it at home or a group?
I’m struggling this week - my appetite has come back
Forgive me SW for I have synned! lol. My head needs to get back in the game for real. I have that dang cough from before Christmas, it’s like 95% better but it’s hanging around so my energy is still low. I want to go to the gym but I’m just SO tired! Hoping this weekend though.

At least it’s not a gain, right? LOL! That’s how I’m looking at it. ‘No shame in a gain or a maintain’ as they say at group. There’s still a bit of me that does feel shame but I’m working on being kinder to myself. I remember when I first started Slimming World I’d had a bad few weeks and I told myself stressing out was keeping my cortisol level high (which can lead to weight gain - I can attest to that from last year) so one week I was kind to myself and if I slipped up I said it’s okay, you can only do what you can do, you’re doing your best etc... and the week after I had a loss! I need to do that again.
Breathe in happy, breathe out fear!

I just joined Tuesday and started yesterday! Doing online as my anxiety of groups is v real. I might work up the courage in future ha. I'll be coming to you for recipes.
Sorry you're struggling. There's definitely a nasty cold going round our parts. My mum is still struggling from December with her sinuses. Hopefully it leaves you soon ❤️0 -

Oooh 21 by August you can do this! Upping protein sounds like a great plan 0 -
