JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 129 (round 59 for me ) I'm in for another round – I still need the accountability! As always, thank you @GrandmaJackie such a brilliant champion particularly in these unprecedented & unsettled times, helping keep some stability in our lives, for setting up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be to get solidly into 132's. Stick with good habits: be mindful of what I eat & drink, keep walking, no binges, keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbsKeep calm – we're all in this together! Wash hands, be kind & follow all latest Government guidelines for C-19 virus.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 133.4 - 9.82 miles walked yesterday, 278 calories in credit, 5g carbs over.
10/15 133.4 – 13.55 miles walked yesterday, 1001 calories in credit, all macros in green.
10/16 133.4 - only 4 miles walked yesterday running around with/after my 2 year old DGS, hence 525 calories over.
10/17 132.8 – yey, the scale moved !! 7.87 miles walked yesterday. 392 calories in credit and all macros in green.
10/18 133.8 (:( ) 12.75 miles walked yesterday. 428 calories in credit, but 27g carbs over as it was pizza night! Hope it bounces back down tomorrow!
10/19 133.4 – back to that same number again!! 4.38 miles walked yesterday, DGD & DS birthday celebrations yesterday hence 235 calories & 63g carbs over, a socially distanced bbq in their garden as we are all in tier 2, it was cold, but lovely to see them.
10/20 133 – scales are playing with and teasing me! 10.91 miles walked, 43 calories in credit, but 54g carbs over.
10/21 133 – 10.76 miles walked yesterday, 551 calories in credit, 5g carbs over, all other macros in green. Rain forecast all day today, don't know whether I'll get a window to get out!
10/22 134.2 - Going to really struggle to achieve my 3300 miles walked this year as I need to do in excess of an average of 11 miles everyday! Shame to miss the target, but when I look back over this exceptional year there has been so many obstacles, losing my Dad unexpectedly, Covid lockdown, baby DGS being so ill and then having to have a liver transplant, more Covid restrictions during second wave. I so hope next year is much more settled!! Still hope to exceed 3000 miles !
10/23 134.2 – so I've been off the rails, just so sick of Covid and not being able to see my family except outside now the weather is turning cold, having to social distance from them and not been able to give them a hug, it just got me the last 2 days. I know I should be counting my blessings so grateful that we are all ok & healthy especially my DGS 12 weeks on from his liver transplant, but I couldn't shake it off and so I attacked the chocolate amongst other things. I hope I've got it out of my system now, scales certainly weren't kind to me, but todays another day and I need to pull myself together. A new round tomorrow and I will be there, self pity moment over – sorry folks!!
KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!

@UTmom81 The recipe takes a bit longer because you make the “noodle” but I have made the noodles ahead and refrigerated and even frozen them.

@musicsax I’m so sorry you aren’t able to touch your family but the baby’s health is paramount. A friend has a new (healthy) great nephew and was looking forward to the holidays to meet him but the family isn’t letting them come. So sad. I hope this eases up! Hugs and prayers!3

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

10/14 116.5 Expected, 1/2 Greek salad with gyro meat yesterday AF
10/15 117.0 In-N-Out burger for supper last night and I ate most of the bun for the first time in over 3 years. Virtual quilt guild meeting tonight. Getting together with friends for that. AF
10/16 119.0. No TMI x 3 days! ‘Nuff said except considering dynamite! Although I ate that bun the other evening, that isn’t responsible for all of this recent gain. I ate a LOT of veggies yesterday which were about 28g of my 33g of carbs. I’m so bloated that my shorts were uncomfortable last night. Still under my goal weight and back on the rails after this odd week. It’s all good!
10/17 117.0 Some TMI success. I was so stressed yesterday all day because DH left his phone in a neighbors garage Thursday night when he was fixing her sprinkler system. He was so obsessed about getting it back but she was not home or answering her cell phone. By about 7 PM I called her again and she finally answered. She located the phone and he went and picked it up. It was not a good day for me I did not go to the gym, I don’t even remember what I ate but fortunately logged as I slogged my way through the day. He needs a man purse but refuses! Clearly I am frustrated!
10/18 118.0 Scale gave me an ERR first so may need a new battery but it’s all good. Social visit with neighbors last night. AF
10/19 116.5 AF Planning to fast tomorrow if DH’s lunch plans work out. So much easier if I don’t have to make him dinner! 🥴🤪🤞
10/20 116.5 Gym yesterday and did my PT stretches for the first time and in weeks.
10/21 115.0 35 hours into my fast. Coffee, tea, water, and 14 oz of chicken broth yesterday. Feeling good. Gym today.
10/22 116.5 Stopped my fast after 42.5 hours. I think lack of sleep had something to do with feeling horrid all day yesterday. It was smoky again and I had a headache. It’s gone this morning.
10/23 116.5 What a great day yesterday - spent it sewing with a friend. Hit my macros and felt so good when I came home. Invigorated!! Gym today and possible dinner out. Picture of The Strip when I left my friend’s house at 5PM yesterday. About 15 miles as the crow flies.

The smoke wasn’t bad at Amy’s but our house is lower in elevation and by the time I went to bed, the headache was back.4

10/17- 166.8 Still going in the right direction
10/18- 166.8 Did not go up so that's a small win.
10/19- 166.2 I wont make my goal this time around. New goal, get back to this rounds starting weight.
10/20- 165.1 Ok, just need to stay the path.

10/23 - 151.0 - Back to where I started! I wasn't expecting to be down this much today but I guess my fast did something (: Made it 16.5hrs no issues. My scale BF% was way up, though, and I still have visible belly bloat. Hoping that's the process of swelling before releasing happening. No other explanation to go from 32.3%BF at 152.6 to 35.4%BF at 151.0...I know my scale isn't the most accurate with BF but it definitely trends it fairly well. Except times like this, at least. Going to push for maybe a 17hr fast today? Gets me to 1230, perfect for a lunch break, especially since I JUST crawled out of bed. My body is sore from working on the car and its nice to stay in bed and read for a bit in the morning instead of immediately getting up. If BF is busy with work, once I get my water and morning coffee down, I'll take a bit of a stroll with the pup. Dinner tonight is made by BF for Fam (they're returning from transplant appointments this evening) with grilled chicken thighs, grilled potatoes with butter and bacon, and grilled asparagus with butter (and maybe bacon if I get my way!) I love when he cooks that (: Likely more working on the car, depending on when he gets free from work.
Previous Day's Comments10/14 - Normal fluctuation? Not sure. Food was way off yesterday. I was super hungry so I finished my fast at about 16hrs. But dinner I couldn't tell if hungry so I had a bit to eat but then felt really full about an hour later. Still learning my body's language, so not too worried. I knew it wouldn't happen immediately and I need to be patient and forgiving with myself. I will say, not tracking and being more mindful about food in general has been super freeing. The fairly consistent weigh ins have been an added bonus. Normally I'm constantly stressed about food, monitoring everything that goes in my body, and letting food control me. Now I let my body control it all and tell me what it needs and when. I've managed one challenge, my birthday, with fasting. Great results! Without it, I'd likely still be battling the weight gain. Next up starts Friday with camping. I won't have cell or internet service so I can't really track or post. As it is my birthday gift, I'm not a part of the planning of food and such, just which trails I'd like to hike and where I'd like to see within the park. Will be interesting to see how fasting and my body will play a part in all of this. Definitely will be a learning experience (:
10/15 - Shocking since I only fasted 15.75hr yesterday - my body wanted food and nothing was stopping those hunger signals! Also, a heavy dinner consisting of homemade spaghetti, garlic toast, and a caesar salad. Finished off the bottle of wine with FamWife we opened for dinner yesterday (1 glass each both nights). Today fasted 16.5hrs and broke it with Taco Bell. Its our guilty pleasure and its 30 minutes away so not common for us -- only when we go into that town for a specific reason. Today was going to the range. I could practice with my new(ish) 9mm and the boys could zero their rifles with the new scopes in preparation for deer season. Consolidated all the camping stuff we have on hand and packed that. Just need to pack Fam's stuff (including tent, air mattress for back of truck, and their sleeping bags), go shopping for the rest (mostly food), and pack that stuff up. I'm so READY! Hoping for 12hr fasts while out there. Body isn't quite fully fat adapted to be able to hike and such while fasting, no need to push it and cause harm. Here's where patience comes in -- hopefully I can stay content with the slow changes. The test will be whether my belt stays in the smaller notch after this weekend (once it dropped, it stayed down so far). I feel so much better without the constant bloat - hoping I won't undo all that. I'll see y'all Monday!! Have a wonderful weekend, all
10/16 - Taco Bell and Frito Pie for lunch and dinner didn't destroy me! I love this! And I was really low on my water intake, too. I'm surprised that alone didn't bump me up. I was hoping to sleep up until my alarm before showering but I was too excited. Good news - it left me time to weigh and post before BF even gets up! FamWife has to work half day, so FamHubs, BF, and I are going shopping for the rest of the foodstuffs we don't have once he's up and moving. She'll then have about 3 hours on the road to work before signal loss, which should be about her half day mark. Should get us there in time to see the little art town/old army base, take the (slightly, 10 mins or so) longer, more scenic route to our campsite, and set up before dark (we have to be there by 8 but aiming for sooner so we have daylight to get camp set up). I'm so reaaaady! See y'all Monday (:
10/17 - Camping/hiking
10/18 - Camping/hiking
10/19 - Well that was a crazy fun weekend. My legs are a bit sore (I'm not sure how I'm not hurting more) and I'm real tired even after a good night's sleep last night, but it was worth it. Only downfall is I'm so incredibly dehydrated. My lips are cracked and bleeding, which takes forever to heal on me. Definitely pushing water. We ran out of water at the campsite unexpectedly and everything was closed by that time. Ended up getting some for the drive home but it was so hard to drink anything fast, especially since pitstops to pee weren't common. Back to fasting today - not sure how long, I'll listen to body since the whole dehydration thing probably put more stress than I'd like on it. Maybe go for a walk later, not sure yet. Aiming for an easy day but know I need to keep moving or legs will get locked up and sore, eek.
10/20 - Still working on rehydration. Yesterday was busy busy busy. The coffee shop opened Saturday while we were gone so we went to work there yesterday and I HAD to try her latte and banana nut muffins (my fave), breaking my fast super early (13hrs I think?) Today, if we go there again, I'm just getting an Americano and no muffin so I can continue fasting. Late night last night so 16hrs ends at what is normally my 18hr mark - 1:30pm - hoping to make it that long today. Did a short jog/walk to the gas station yesterday but got me enough movement the bit of soreness I have is already fading, yay! Super duper tired today so not sure about activity - maybe if I wake up more and get a little energy. My fault for staying up so late watching football. Worth it!
10/21 - I had such a feast yesterday at dinner.... it was delicious but definitely stress induced. My work computer ended up crashing several months ago - took it in, they thought they solved the problem but gave me a loaner JUST in case. Not fixed, working from loaner. Well, yesterday I'm working on a report, get up for a small break to grab a snack and walk around the house only to come back to my computer crashed and overheating so bad I can't even touch it for longer than a few seconds. Now I have 2 broken work computers and work to do.... bit stressful. Does give me opportunity today to run errands and go vote early (yay avoiding lines and crowds! Fam have all gone to vote and said takes 10 minutes, in and out). Today is also the day my godson (2yrs old) starts his 3 days of appointments to be put on the transplant list for a new liver (due to PFIC) and the start of a potentially long anticipation period waiting for that call. Stressing won't help anything, but its so hard not to just a little bit. May I request prayers/positivity into the universe for my little man and all the family? Y'all are the best
10/22 - Holding on to some bloat. Dinner was a very heavy recipe but oh so delicious. Managed to get my minimum water goal in yesterday, finally. Aim to get there again today, if not more. Fasting only lasted about 14hrs so going to try again today for 16. This week has been crazy with food - especially since it seems people have been going out of their way to make me food in the mornings. Hoping to make it 16hrs today and tomorrow (at the minimum) so my body realizes its okay before the weekend. I hate having to think about food on weekends, I'd rather focus on something else! Plus, even doing 16+hrs for a few days rids of the bloat and heavy feeling which I'm so eager to happen right now. Haven't been able to get in walks lately and not likely to again today depending on when BF gets up and wants to head over to work on his VWBug. Fam is in Houston so we can work on it while monitoring our work without interrupting theirs (: it'll give me more movement than sitting at home, at least.

Day/Weight/Comment
10/14 187.2 I feel like I have been getting a little lax with my calorie allowances. I need to find some mojo and stick to my goal for several days in order to get the results that I want. On the plus side I am still (slightly) below my trend line. Est. Cals yesterday: 1827 due to wine and chocolate, when I started back counting calories I was leaving an allowance for these treats so I didn't go over, gotta get back there mentally.
10/15 187.6
10/16 187.2
10/17 187.8 Just hanging out here.. really surprised it's not worse considering it's TOM and I've been eating a lot more treats/calories. Hopefully the hormones will settle and I can resume a more stable path.. Trend is flatlining but I'll drink a lot of water today and preplan my food.
10/18 189.4 estimated cals 1486 I am guessing this bump is due to eating sushi for lunch.. rice and salt. Hard to get the calories right too.
10/19 188.8 estimated cals 1434 ready for the scale to behave itself now..
10/20 187.8 estimated cals yesterday 1534. My foot is finally feeling better so I'm going out for a little run/walk this morning.
10/21 187.2 looks like I have been maintaining this round. I am hoping for a little drop before it's all said and done. Estimated cals yesterday 1612.
10/22 188.6 LOL ya gotta be kidding me. We went out for dinner. I am so sensitive to salt apparently.. estimated calories 1826

GW for this round: 146
Round 126 (1): 156 to 153.2 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 127 (2): 153.2 to 150.4 (-2.8 lbs)
Round 128 (3): 150.4 to 148.0 (-2.4 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Lose 2 lbs
- Get out for a morning run twice and do Ring Fit the other days
- Do core strengthening exercises 5x (every other day)
10/14 - 148.0 - Starting off on a nice round number. Got new running shoes yesterday, and they feel great! I’d forgotten how big a difference good shoes can make for my knees and feet. Did the new core exercises this morning; here’s to a great round for everyone!
10/15 - 147.2 - Ugh, yesterday was HARD. I don’t know what the trigger was (lack of sleep? hormones? too much calorie restriction?) but I was SO HUNGRY all day. I wanted to eat everything in sight. I managed to mostly stick to my meal plan, but still indulged in some extra bites here and there. I’m happy about the scale going down, but I’ve got to make some modifications if I keep feeling like this. It’s not worth it and definitely not sustainable.
10/16 - 147.2 - Happy to hold steady after such a big drop yesterday. Still not sure what caused such extreme hunger, but I felt much better yesterday and today. Will be ordering out for dinner, so will need to plan carefully.
10/17 - 147.8 - Not surprised, for two reasons. One is that we had take-out pizza last night that was very salty - both kids woke up wanting water overnight. The second is that I’ve been tracking my weight with HappyScale (after seeing it recommended here!) and I can see that I generally have a bump up every 12-14 days and I was due for one. Knowing that history makes it a lot easier not to freak out when I see the number on the scale go up.
10/18 - 147.8 - High again, but it’s also now TOM, so again, not too surprised. Also felt very sore and heavy trying to exercise this morning. Just got to keep eating well and trust that the scale will go back down.
10/19 - 146.4 - There we go, back on track!
10/20 - 146.8 - Back up a little, but not too bad. Probably more accurate than the big drop yesterday. This morning was rough since the little guy woke at 4:00 AM - going to need lots of coffee today.
10/21 - 146.4 - And down again. Feeling good today - made some healthy pumpkin muffins for breakfast and the kids have actually been playing together nicely so I’ve managed to get some stuff done around the house. Happy Wednesday!
10/22 - DNW - Had an absolutely horrible sleepless night last night. Sorry, I’m sure you guys are tired (ha) of hearing me mention lack of sleep, but after practically zero sleep and facing a day of an incredibly cranky toddler I knew I couldn’t handle it emotionally if the scale went up too. Today will be a “get through the day” day - will try to limit snacking as much as possible and regroup for the end of the challenge tomorrow.
10/23 - 146.0 - Just in under the wire! Overall another positive round. I’ve promised myself a nice workout outfit once I get to 20 lbs lost (halfway point for my total desired loss) and I’m having a lot of fun looking at options. Managed to get more sleep last night and I upped my difficulty on Ring Fit this morning, so I’m feeling pretty good. Have a great weekend everyone and see you in the next round!6 -

10/15 140.8 Hoping for a good day so I can reintroduce some veggies tomorrow. Have a good day everyone!

@CamandJarvis - really feeling for you and your little godson, sending lots of positive vibes and hoping that he gets the new liver he needs, especially going through it with my baby DGS just a few months ago. Medical knowledge and procedures are so amazing these days! Do you know that you can be a live liver donor? I was so humbled that all my family stepped forward and volunteered, (they wouldn't accept me as I'm too old
- I was devastated!) A perfect match was found in our niece's husband, but a liver from another source suddleny became available before that procedure went ahead. But maybe it's something that family and friends might be able to consider depending on how medically urgent the need is, I know from our families experience when time is not on the patient's side then needs become very urgent. Please keep us updated with his progress, he will be very high in my thoughts .
Yes! I've actually researched what it takes to be a live donor. When they return, I plan to ask them if they're interested in that process and willing to allow any of us to be tested to see if we are a match. I would 1000000000% be willing. The hardest part is that about half of their appointments they can only have 1 parent in there with him because COVID and he becomes really fussy and inconsolable. At one point during a blood draw Wednesday, it was only mama in there (mama's boy to the max) and they blew 2 veins. Docs had dad come in with mama and blood draw was completed immediately after. Its amazing what having both parents in there with him can do (and I'm sure the same applies with other children, as well). Wish they were more understanding of that (I know COVID makes it difficult, but you're putting the poor boy at more risk with him screaming and thrashing to get to the other parent who was asked to leave). I hope when the transplant itself happens, mama and daddy can both be with him - for their sake and his.
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. Its so nerve-wracking as I'm sure you completely understand. That's my little boyfriend, as we call him. If he's not with mama, he's attached to my hip. Never wanted kids of my own, but I'd be willing to take him on any day of the week 1 -

Oh my goodness! I have an Irish cookbook with a Potato Leek Soup recipe that is a favorite with my family. I might have to plan for a cooler evening when I'm not busy to make for my Texas family. It takes about 6hrs in the kitchen to get it right, but oh so worth it 1 -

Day/Weight/Comment
10/13 …..208.6….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
10/14 …..209.2 ….. After travel weight so I’ll take it. Good luck everyone this round. Welcome to all the newbies, we are thrilled that you have joined us!
10/15 …..208.4 ….. I shed that travel weight quickly with some pretty good choices at home yesterday. Today is a WONDERFUL day for me. I have been going through some very tough things here at home and work and today a wee piece of it is getting resolved. I will explain when I have time. It has been time crunching and gut wrenching at times which has been holding me back from my usual fitness and diet routines. 2 more parts to go and I hope to be all in again by the first of the year. In the meantime, it’s wonderful to see the progression in all parts of my life including these little losses on the scale. Thanks for your support everyone! I’m finding my way back slowly but surely!
10/16 …..208.2 ….. I was hoping for a bigger drop but I guess I should not get greedy. I am happy, overall, at the downward trend when I know I am not in a place to give 100% just yet. However, the dust will settle eventually! Yay on the continual improvement!
10/17 …..207.6 ….. This is great news for me! I have been lowering my portion sizes and choosing my snacks carefully. I am still not getting in enough movement, not logging consistently and not counting calories and carbs to the exact numbers. However, I am making the small changes here and there that is helping to make a difference. Life is still upside down for me, but I am tweaking what I can and staying committed in my mind and soul. That is the best I can hope for or do right now. The little changes make a difference, friends!
10/18 …..208.2 ….. I’m not sure exactly what happened. Small portions and pretty good choices. Probably the garlic bread. I noticed on my spoiler that I have lost (and made goal of ANY LOSS) the last 3 rounds. Striving to keep up the momentum.
10/19 …..207.4 ….. Wow! The ups & downs of a weight loss journey! I really watched my portions yesterday and had no bedtime snacks when watching late-night TV because I took my son out to a newly renovated restaurant in our town that now serves Pizza including Deep Dish Square Pizza. In this little town, that is a BIG DEAL. It was delicious even though it is not normally in my menu planning. My son and I ate JUST UNTIL we began to feel full and took the rest home for dinner later. Portion Control especially with “wrong foods” is ESSENTIAL. No snacks-payment for the Pizza. It greatly helped the scale this morning. I am so happy that it did not completely blow my progress. Social things will always occur…..I’ve just got to keep making those adjustments. Have a great week everyone!
10/20 …..207.0 ….. So….. last night, after having had a low calorie/carb dinner, I started munching small amounts of multiple things. Grazing really. I was convinced I was hungry. I am proud that I stopped myself, paid attention and realized that I was not full, but not hungry either. It was more in my head. Also cravings perhaps? I realized I didn’t really NEED more food. So I stopped. I’m not going to say it was easy to overrule my brain, but I stopped. I am so glad I was able to do that last night. What a NSV that was! The scale rewarded me this morning too!
10/21 …..206.2….. Come on 205!!!! I am sure these losses will level off at some point, but I am enjoying the fruits of my labor for as long as I can. I danced to one 4 minute song last night and I did one Fitness Marshall video workout (under 3 minutes) also. Hey, it is a start!
10/22 …..207.6….. Wow! A giant leap on the scale. I actually had a pretty good day except for the grilled cheese, tomato soup and 4 Ritz crackers. Very low cal breakfast and no lunch. A pound and a half???? Okay, I’ll make note of that and move on. I am also not drinking my water . Just so busy but I must make it a priority. Still making goal so far so I will take that as inspiration.
10/23 …..206.8 ….. Yay! I lost nearly 2 pounds. I had mistakes this round, but tried to remedy most of them with extra tweaks. I am on a roll with rounds ending in losses (no matter how small). This is not typical in autumn for me so I am thrilled. I will try to keep up the momentum!

October focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 128- Stabilise weight under 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available

Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

I'm in! Thank you, @GrandmaJackie!
70 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.
We used to walk 5 miles a day. Recovered from back surgery then hip surgery!! Got back to walking then I sprained my ankle. UGH! I was down for 6 weeks with the ankle. Getting back to it slowly.
The Shelter in Place has everyone freaked. We need to remain calm and respectful of each other.

Medical knowledge and procedures are so amazing these days! Do you know that you can be a live liver donor? I was so humbled that all my family stepped forward and volunteered, (they wouldn't accept me as I'm too old - I was devastated!) A perfect match was found in our niece's husband, but a liver from another source suddleny became available before that procedure went ahead. But maybe it's something that family and friends might be able to consider depending on how medically urgent the need is, I know from our families experience when time is not on the patient's side then needs become very urgent. Please keep us updated with his progress, he will be very high in my thoughts .
Yes! I've actually researched what it takes to be a live donor. When they return, I plan to ask them if they're interested in that process and willing to allow any of us to be tested to see if we are a match. I would 1000000000% be willing. The hardest part is that about half of their appointments they can only have 1 parent in there with him because COVID and he becomes really fussy and inconsolable. At one point during a blood draw Wednesday, it was only mama in there (mama's boy to the max) and they blew 2 veins. Docs had dad come in with mama and blood draw was completed immediately after. Its amazing what having both parents in there with him can do (and I'm sure the same applies with other children, as well). Wish they were more understanding of that (I know COVID makes it difficult, but you're putting the poor boy at more risk with him screaming and thrashing to get to the other parent who was asked to leave). I hope when the transplant itself happens, mama and daddy can both be with him - for their sake and his.
Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. Its so nerve-wracking as I'm sure you completely understand. That's my little boyfriend, as we call him. If he's not with mama, he's attached to my hip. Never wanted kids of my own, but I'd be willing to take him on any day of the week
Yes, DD & SIL had exactly the same cuz of covid, only 1 parent and no swapping over during inpatiency. Only bending of rules was the night of actual op, 10 hours!, and following days whilst he was in intensive care. At least blood taking is easier after op as whilst in theatre they fitted line directly to his heart which they then and now use to draw, so there is no discomfort to him. But regarding parents, children NEED them BOTH there and as you say it makes it so easier for the little guys, surely with all the other procedures in place for covid that should be possible? Best wishes for you all. 🤗🤗😘😘2 -

▪10/14 - 206 - Everything has been askew. Sleep~not enough. Diet~not enough calories and too much bread. Yeah still eating it. It's like a drug, lol. If it wasn't for the bread, my intake would be, 500-600 calories a day. Not drinking enough water. Exercise ~ Non existent except for household chores, running errands, helping extended family. The weather is now in my favor, cooler. No allergens, excessive heat and humidity, which is horrible to my joints. I'll be able to get out for my walks again. I'll see what a month of consistent effort will do. I'm okay though. I know exactly what to do to get my weight back to where I want it to be. (Tu•~hrs) 75g carbs.
