    Ladycopnh1, sending hugs your way. I don't know what I can say except I feel your pain and wish I could make it all better. I might have eaten a whole cheesecake topped with Chunky Monkey. Give yourself the right to have a bad week and then get back on when you can. We will be here for you.

    I was a little down this morning after my weight in. Until I entered it in. I realized at that point I have lost 6 pounds this month. So actually I have something to be happy about.
    I have been sick since Friday but am feeling a little better today.

    I don't know how to log carrying boxes of books and craft supplies down from the upstairs, but it will be cardio and weight work all in one, all this week! We cleared space to put it in the garage.

    The past 2 weeks have been challenging mentally and physically. My diet has suffered. Scale is headed the wrong way, but finally feeling better, mostly.

    I was feeling really defeated about weigh in today. But then because of this thread I realized I'm still further down than I was in Jan... so I still had some progress despite the rough couple of weeks. That really helped :smiley:

    Feb loss: 7

    March 2 - 272.8
    3/9 - 274.4
    3/16 -
    3/23 -
    3/30 -

    Goals:
    ☘ 1500 to 1800 calories in.
    ☘ Swim at least once a week.
    ☘ Add more cardio (that doesn't irritate spine or active muscle issues) days I go to yoga. Open to suggestions.
    ☘ Research strengthening exercises that won't aggrevate spine.
    🍀 weigh 265 by first week of April.

    @ladycopnh1 So sorry to hear that, it's such a terrible feeling when you find that out. My heart goes out to you. I felt so helpless when my mom told me she had breast cancer. I am in the same boat scale wise...eating stress, fear and pain the last couple of weeks. Today is a new day though. :heart: :smile:

    @ladycopnh1 I'm so sorry to hear about your brother's diagnosis and your previous losses. I would suggest trying to get in some workouts because it usually helps my mental health. When you're stressed and getting bad news, it's totally normal to give in to some cravings, so don't beat yourself up about it. I will be thinking of you! <3

    Thank you all your hugs and concerns. I am putting myself back together.

    OK......LET'S TALK
    WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS ?

    I was told by one of my Drs. that I had to start taking yoga classes to loosen up my muscles and tendons. So the only place near me to do this is the Senior center. Well, in the class room there is a squeaky chair. They have had this chair for some time and it was funny for them to see who would get the squeaky chair. Friday I got the chair, sat down and..........yup, broke it. I almost landed on the floor. I don't know how many people have sat in this chair but leave it to Marybell cowbutt to sit down and bust it.
