Are you over 200pds, let's diet together

@ladycopnh1 : I stepped too hard on a brake pedal, trying to avoid someone doing something unexpectedly stupid.
If you want to know exactly, you can google Lisfranc's dislocation. I dislocated II-V and sprained the heck out of I.

It healed well, but they were right that it would be arthritic in my forties, and they were also right that the best thing I can do for pain control on an ongoing basis is to lose weight.

I did a lot of up-and-down the stairs today, and it did cross my mind that I was very glad that I didn't have the thirty-five pounds I'd lost on me while doing it! We had to take a large framed mirror off the wall that my ultra-cautious boyfriend had mounted, making sure that it was well-secured into the studs, and then get the thing wrapped in a blanket and securely wrapped with pallet wrap, before putting it in a box.

Hello all! I joined fitness pal 10 years did great and then life happened and I am back to start over. Starting at 210. Looking for support from like minded people.

Start: 262.6
Goal: 170
May 2020 loss: 3.8

05/21/20: 262.6
05/25/20: 260.8
06/01/20: 258.8
06/08/20: 253

Don't know if my scale is malfunctioning or what. It suddenly dropped me to 254.8 on Thursday and stayed there through Sunday. Today it dropped another 1.8 pounds. I picked up my cat and got back on to make sure it would register more weight and it did. I'm eating right and hitting proper caloric intake. Guess my body was also tired of the weight? I don't know... Just going to say I won't be surprised if it pops back up a bit (though maybe a bit disappointed).

@gcreardon: Moving is giving us a chance to do that. I don't have a lot of that in my clothing, though, because I already purged 90% of it because I was losing weight and it didn't fit.

Also, I now know my weight loss pattern, and it's a downward staircase. Sudden loss of 3-5 pounds over 2-3 days, then two to three weeks at a lower weight, then down again, plateau again. So I can be pretty patient through a plateau.

June starting weight- 226.6

Whew. It's been a very busy work week for me, and I think it will continue that way. I haven't really taken the time to plan meals well or cook much, so I've been getting take-out more than usual. Plus I celebrated my 49th birthday on Monday which involved a good bit of sugar and fat. The scale actually read 193 over the weekend, but today was back to 195.5. I'm not sure that I will be getting back to my very best healthy behaviors right away, but I am giving myself a break during this busy work time. I'll do the best I can without losing my mind.

@gcreardon , thanks and congratulations to you on your liaison position! I'm giving myself a "grace period" for my whole birthday week and then recommitting to healthier eating on Monday! I've at least managed to keep up with some kind of workout schedule! I rediscovered Leslie Sansone's Walk at Home videos, so that change of pace has renewed my motivation for working out a bit.

I am going to stop questioning my body and let it say it lost whatever it wants. Guess it was super tired of the extra weight and is kicking it to the curb.

This past week was a rollercoaster of emotions. In addition to the good news (and my mom's pet sitting client, our U.S. House Rep, saying she would speak to me anytime about gun reform and inviting me to her Washington office), I found out my ankle ligaments are as lax as before. I'm hyper flexible, so he wasn't surprised. Guess I'll just have ankle issues forever! One more reason to lose the weight!

Amazing losses so far in June!

We put it on one pound at a time, we can take it off one pound at a time! Slow and steady wins the race, and I bet by now you're seeing some changes!

Hello all, I tried joining you all earlier this year, but quarantine hit and it didn't help my weight or mental state. I have really been struggling. Things are slowly getting back to normal and I am mentally doing better, but now I have even more weight to lose. Yesterday was day 1 (again) and it went ok. I need accountability and support though. I am looking forward to getting to know you all.

SW (6/15/20): 223.5
GW: under 200
UGW: 160

TOM starts tomorrow. Going to try to get through without falling off the bandwagon.
