@bmoore2u Great job staying under calories!
@vicky2767 Nice Day!
@Gadgetgirl259 Hang in there, sometimes are like that, I've spent my fair share of weeks and months bouncing around between 3 or 5 lbs. And nice day!
@Fitness327wk Nice day! Great exercise!
@gjaholy33 That is definitely a reason to be positive! That's huge!! Congrats! Hope you feel better.
@CindyJNC1963 That's actually pretty great to place 13th out of nearly 100! I do hope they take out the cheaters as that's just sad really. And you should be proud of yourself, consistently above 10k steps, took me a long time to be able to do that (and a career change).
@2muchchocncrisps Nice loss!! You're doing great! I am curious when your doctor said your cholesterol was high, did they break it out into good and bad because even if it's "high" it's not always a cause for concern.
@genajonas Even when I don't feel great, I still workout, I actually do feel worse when I don't exercise, I usually wind up working out with less intensity as I just don't have the energy, but I still do it. I hope you feel better soon!And as for the doctors scale, there's a few reasons that it can be more, one most of us aren't weighing with clothes on, so there's that, and some scales are better than others in terms of accuracy, I tend to step on mine 3 times in a row, if it gives me the same reading 3 times in a row, it's probably pretty accurate, I have had so many scales not do that over my journey. And I'd really like to find an accurate scale that is wifi compatible, but I haven't managed to get there yet, maybe someday.
@walk4today I completely understand your pain, been there, but at least now you have an accurate place to start from, however painful it is.
@lsjhudson I completely agree about cleaning out things being therapeutic sometimes I will spend hours cleaning out the pantry or hall closet and my husband tends to panic lol. He always thinks he did something when I will spend a lot of time cleaning because he thinks I'm mad at him, and sometimes I just like doing it.
@SLIMn2016 Great day!!
@o0kody0o Great day!!
@aadubb I understand how you feel, hang in there! It will be worth it!
@digger61 Happy belated birthday, sounds like you had a nice birthday weekend!
@OkieGina A loss is a loss! Great job!5 -

😫😫😫first time since I started 66 days ago that I didn't lose at least 2lbs in a week.5 -
@cydneebauman I normally lose at least 1 pound a week but my loss was a measly 0.1 this week! It is a bit disappointing but each little fraction of a pound that gets knocked off takes us one step closer to our goals 💪2

Daily check in for Monday
Track: yes
Calories: yes - under (I was under even before the exercise!)
Water: yes - just over 150 oz
Exercise: yes - 30 minute training session.
I am not sure what is wrong with my mind recently!! I seem to alternate between a "yea, I got this" mindset (where, for the first time possibly ever, I really think that I will get the body I want - not if I get the body I want) and getting so frustrated with myself that i end up crying. When I started working out at the beginning of the year, I had so many goals that should have been achieved by now. I actually thought I had set some pretty good, realistic goals. And I've done great on the "action" goals - get my diet/nutrition on track, work out an average of 2-4 times a week, etc. But physically, I'm just not seeing the results. I think there are a lot of things contributing to that (most of which I can't do anything about, but a few I'm working on). And I know that the only option is to keep my head down and keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing (I mean, I've made it through the "hardest" part - new routines and new "norms" have been established - I am NOT stopping now), but man, I really wish my head would get on board with focusing on that (and the fact that my endurance and strength have both noticeably increased) and not on (for example) the stupid fat deposit right above my elbow that keeps me uncomfortable wearing anything with sleeves above my elbows.
Ok, sorry, rant/venting session over...for now!

Had a doctor appointment with my PCP she's very proud of the long way I've come since OCTOBER she remembered when they had to get a wheelchair for me due to my chronic asthma and now I'm able to walk without a wheelchair amongst the hospital long hallways without having an asthma attack. Made me feel mighty proud today despite my pain level being super high this week.

💪Weekly weigh-in💪
Weigh in on Mondays
Username: lsjhudson
Week: June, week 3
PW =226.6
CW=230.8
Loss this week: +4.2
[/b]Total loss[/b]: 2.2lb
I almost don't want to talk about this. I'm so frustrated and upset I could cry. I literally had only 2 days this week where I didn't track...but those weren't binging days...I would call them overeating days because they would have obviously been over my calorie intake amount recommended to lose weight. But I did NOT eat enough on those 2 days to warrant a stinking 4.2lb gain. I know with my health circumstances (I have IBS amongst other things) can affect the number on the scale, but I honestly feel like if I'm not actively trying to lose weight I'm gaining weight. I can't just stay in a pause setting. Do you know what I mean? So I either feel like I'm stretching myself and working super hard to lose 1-2lb a week, or I take my eye off the ball here and there and suddenly gain a stupid amount of weight that feels so terribly unfair. This makes me want to give up but I know I can't. I won't give up.
I have been in your shoes in fact recently. This group is what got me through. This group is amazing they are understanding and have been where you are now. No one is here to judge but to help you get through it. You have nothing but support, understanding, and ideas coming your way.
You got this. This is your journey, do it at your pace and yours alone. This is not a race but a lifestyle and that is something I had to learn. Compete with yourself not with others. I remember telling Ashley that I was working my but off five days week, walking everywhere and I was gaining instead of losing which made me go back to binge eating and that made it worst. I was ashamed and embarrassed. If it were not for members in this group saying what they said to me I may have quit. When you know that you are not judged for what you believe are short comings but given ideas on how to deal with the issue ot makes a difference.
Thank you lovely x

Daily Post for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.......
Going through an IDGAF phase....
I have learned to manage my food intake better, when stressed, tired, bored, hungry, at parties, etc...
However. When I hurt, I go for whatever comfort is within reach. And that is usually food. Been dealing with back issues, and I am going to a chiropractor, but still hurting, and my nerves are all frazzled and my head is foggy... so I have been eating more than I should. And things that I shouldn't be eating. And I can't seem to care. In a few days (probably on weigh in day) I will get mad at myself for doing this when I could have had a loss. lol
I have literally been contemplating stopping for a slice of pizza to eat on the way home. On the way home!! To dinner! UGH. Completely senseless.....
Such is the cycle....

I can relate to this so much--- when I had my disc herniations--I went through such a depressed state--and the pain was continuous.... it really ruins you. I couldn't move, sit, stand, or lay down without pain. Took me months to heal (my back was really bad though---they wanted to do surgery on me). I hope you get some relief soon.
I do recommend the back stretcher device that my PT recommended to me (idk if you saw my post previously... it helps!).I still use it!

Ooh I wish I could jog/run...I love the idea of it!! And I'm always well jealous when I see someone swishing along. Good luck for your first jog tomorrow. I found the couch to 5k programme (it's a free app) really brilliant, if you're looking for some guidance and a well-paced programme to get you going.

I feel you sister. I have inflammatory arthritis in my spine and SI joints, as well as Degenerative Disc Disease and early onset osteoarthritis in both my knees...all well before I'm 40. The pain can be a real struggle and when everything hurts the impulse is to reach for the first, reliable thing you can count on to feel better...and the food is the habit. I've not yet found anything that brings me the same level of comfort...but then nothing else seems to make me feel as crap as when I seek food for comfort too. So sometimes I try to imagine my feelings later down the line.
It's a constant battle. And I'm sure you wish as much as I do that there was an easy way round it but I don't think there is. I think the key is that we don't let it turn into a long-term cycle. So it happened, but how can we not beat on ourselves so much that we don't dust ourselves off and carry on?
Big hugs to you...I hope the pain settles down soon xxx
