    I am glad I lost some of the weight I gained last week. Hopefully, I can stay on a binge free streak and get the rest of it off next week.


    My doctors appointment didn’t go the way I wanted it. It is not a problem with my veins. I have to start over again with my family doctor. My leg has pain that gets worse as the day goes on and I get numbness in my foot. My leg swells up pretty bad too. Once early afternoon hits it is very painful to walk so if I don’t get my walking done early it is not going to get done at all. The specialist said it is possible that it is related to my rheumatoid arthritis and/or my neuropathy. I am calling both my family doctor and rheumatologist today to start the next steps. I am bummed out but I am not going to eat my emotions away.

    My granddaughters have been her since last night. They are staying again tonight. We are going to walk in a bit and then play games for the afternoon.

    Happy FriYAY!


    Today’s goals
    1. No binge eating
    2. Minimum 20 minute walk

    Just a little reminder you didn't enter steps for 9/10

    OMG I’m so dumb lol. I’m terrible for not reading labels and I just realized that I haven’t been buying the sugar-free 5 calorie each jello like I thought I was, it’s full sugar and 70 cals each. Not too bad I suppose except I eat low carb and I have been known to eat like 5 jello cups at a time cuz they were “only 5 calories” and “no carbs” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Now I understand the slower loss this week 😂🤣😭

    Steps: 4435

    Today was my doctor's appointment and to be quite honest, I wasn't looking forward to it. However, I got there and stepped on the scale to find out that in a little over just a month, I lost 17 pounds!!!! I had a rough week or two where I wasn't staying on track or doing anything other than working so I was super and pleasantly surprised!

    I also went and met with my personal trainer today and he kicked my butt! We did a full-body workout and I am so SORE! No pain no gain right? lol Anywho, I work the next 2 days but I will be checking in tomorrow morning! Hoping the scale keeps moving for me!

    Have a great night ya'll!

    Those jellos saved my life when I started this process. It is so easy to grab the wrong one as they are right next to each other on the shelf.

    That is an amazing loss! Keep on with what you are doing and the scale should move in your favour.

    Not my best week. Lots of stress, hubby had his endoscopie on Monday then his outpatient surgery on Tuesday. I’ve done lots of stress eating and snacking and even if I made it to the gym I seriously abused food this week. I’m planning on going back on IF this coming week and hope to manage some damage control. Sorry for this weeks gain team 😔🤦🏻‍♀️

    Never apologize for a gain. Your steps are awesome. You got this!

    Good morning.
    Today my weight is 132,6 kg = 292,3 lbs and I must say that I'm not even bothered. I started to have a cold around 3 days ago, toguether with the sleeping machine. Which, trust me, is not a good combination. Tonight I couldn't even use the CPAP because my nose is completely blocked.
    And I'm having lots of heavy stuff in the dentist that makes my mouth stay in constant pain.
    But hey! Even if my situation is not the best, I'm doing my steps! 10/08/2020 9.799 steps 11/08/2020 14,796 steps

    Hang in there! A cpap machine is hard enough to get used to without a cold on top of it. I hope you feel better soon!

    Friday’s check in
    Calories: over
    Exercise: 25 minute walk

    9/11 7,038
    DBF: 4

    The grandkids wanted McDonald’s and I ended up eating it. That is why I am over calories and my tummy hurts so much. Why do I eat that crap when I know I will feel terrible after? I am off grocery shopping in a few minutes. I am hoping to get a walk in with the girls when the groceries are put away. I have an appointment with my family doctor on Tuesday to get the ball rolling again. My rheumatologist is not in until Monday. I feel better today as I am counting all my blessings instead of focusing on the negative.

    Hope your weekend is going well!

    I have had a secret mini goal for the past couple of months to weigh less than my husband does. He's never been real big, just has some extra weight. As a side effect of my weight loss efforts though, he's losing weight too lol. He works from home full time now so he eats what I eat. This morning he told me he was 210. I'm slowly catching up haha.

    It was grocery shopping day so I was gone all afternoon into the middle of the evening. Did a walking video while my husband went and got thai food for dinner. I got home too late to make anything. I always get garlic chicken and then eat the meat and veggies with a fraction of the sauce in the container and no rice so it's not so bad. I did bad on getting my weights done this week. I'm having a problem with nailing down a time of day I can do it without effecting anyone else in the family. Will have to reevaluate
