Exercise- stretching, some strength
Calories- right at, I'm debating on another cookie though!
OK, I think I'm coming out of the last ten days in one piece. Not only did I call my brother to pick me up from the hospital (second visit in one week plus two urgent care Zoom appointments and two "urgent" doctor appointments where I was a walk-in and lay on the floor waiting for openings) but made sure he'd be okay taking my cats if I died, that's how bad I was doing. I finally saw the neurologist plus had some tests run, he's weird but he's sending me for more testing which is good. Remind me next year no flu shot, I'd rather have the flu! I guess because of how bad I'm doing my immune system couldn't handle it- the pharmacist thinks that, the pain, and the new medications bottomed out my immune system. The flu shot usually wears me out for a week but I'd been doing it because my mom has old-age leukemia so she'd be high risk with the flu, I'm allergic to one of the old additives and the pharmacist talked me into it this year as it was going to be my first year without it but I figured with my health lately I should still do it. The guy I'm seeing came a couple days ago with his cats as well, I think I scared the crap out of everyone since I'm usually pretty good about staying positive even feeling lousy. Last night was my first night getting a few hours of sleep in about two weeks plus I stopped a medication and feel a lot better today. Still having chest-down nerve issues but I can at least think, walk without falling, and get out of bed now so that's huge! I've kept up stretching 5-10 minutes, I'm slowly adding back in strength but being careful because my upper back's been flared up lately and I haven't been able to lift anything. The hospital did MRIs, don't remember if I wrote it here but I have bulging disks/stenosis/degenerative problems throughout my spine but don't need another back surgery at this point and MS is ruled out so there's two issues down.
I've read everything you've all written, glad you've all been doing well and thank you for the well wishes!8 -

Weigh in Apple852hk
Week 4 - Oct 2020 Sunday
PW 132.7lbs (60.2kg)
CW 132.9lbs (60.3kg)
LTD about 45.8lbs (20.8kg)
Basically maintained - which isn't bad as I was consuming lots of cakes from family birthday celebrations still for the second week running. Thankfully all the cake is mostly gone.
Hardly excercise or walked as its raining. Just digging in allotment.
Eating healthy meals to balance all the cake and chocolate.
Next week aim to work using the pub desk scheme, where you rent a table at a pub to work at and included in the price is a light lunch. That will mean a carby sandwich so must eat veg for dinner.
Quietly eating through my canned chickpeas. Made really nice meal with my last home grown cauliflower with chick peas. This is a yummy recipe: https://youtu.be/sP3JmeqNJVc
GOALS:
1. Eat through canned food only buying salad
2. Eat more protein, mackeral
Have a good week ahead🥰

@Firefly743 @davidji82
Great weigh-in! Congratulations! 🥳
@trooworld
What a great day yesterday! And hurray for that great weigh-in! You are doing so many good things for your health and fitness, that maybe they just outweighed the chocolate bar! So awesome that you didn't let that stop you and ended up under for the week! 🎉
And your note about my ricking things too made me smile! 😀
@mss9675
Hey there! If we can support you in any way, let us know! 👐🏽
@GabiV125
Hurray for your having found something that works for you, mind and body! Even if it's slower than you would like! 🥳
@TeresaW1020
Congratulations on having that new chair on the way! It sounds like a great fit. I hope it does the trick!
And hurray for your new fasting plan. It sounds like you are tweaking and adjusting based on what works for you -- so smart! 😀
I am so lookin forward to hearing about your new spring and summer clothes!
@Jactop
We could all do to listen to your words of wisdom some weeks:when I step on the scale I feel like I'm on a game show waiting to see what number comes up which is why I try not to take it too seriously. Sometimes it doesn't reflect our efforts and other times it shows a loss we didn't deserve (love that). Don't let it get you down.
Thank you! I wasn't hydrated at all last week, just started drinking my water.1 -
@apple852hk Good job on maintaining and getting to eat cake! I love that Nigella Lawson video. I could listen to that woman talk all day long! And that recipe looks amazing.
@gharvey2753 Great weigh-in this week!! Keep it up and you will get to where you want to be for sure!
@Katmary71 Glad to see that you are able to check in with us. No words. Just lots of healing thoughts and prayers for you and for your doctors to come up with a plan.
@jazzagirl30 Wow, great loss for you this week. Keep it up!
@itsmegina Yayyyy you had a great week!
@digger61 Holding steady can be a very good thing!
Good morning team! As many of you know MFP was down most of the day yesterday. If you were unable to post your weigh-in please do so today. Fat2Fit might wait to post the tallies to give all the teams a chance to post. It looks like we are having an amazing week! And even if you are struggling you are here and for that, I am very proud of all of my team members!

@AustinRuadhain Thank you! Yes, I hope so. I am trying. I'm glad I made you smile.
@Katmary71 I've been thinking of you. I'm glad you checked in. Sorry you've been in this situation. I hope you get some answers soon. Hugs.
@apple852hk The pub desk scheme sounds fun. Does it also include a beer?
Hello everyone. Yesterday was a higher WW point day (I enjoyed my husband's homemade lasagna for dinner with some pumpkin beer). Today, back at it. I'm going to do some physical therapy exercises which some of them are kind of challenging for ME. Other than that, it is a rest day. I go onsite to work tomorrow and will have a very busy day so I need to be refreshed. Have a great day, everyone!

@Katmary71 - thanks for the update. I've been thinking about you and glad you are finally getting some help in sorting this out.
@Jactop - I'm glad you enjoyed my crazy word and yes- it is exactly like not being able to keep your tongue off a tooth hole! I have the Jekyll/Hyde eating problem too. I've had some success by adjusting my daily snack times so I'm not starving at the danger time. Also, by not having things around that I like to eat at those times. I wish you well- it's not fun.2 -
Hi Team! Today was a good day. I went to church and then hubby and I had to go buy a new coffee maker because ours died. The rest of the day has been chill. I have been working on my grocery list for next week. With my plan to eat three days Keto and keep my meals to under 500 calories it requires a bit more planning but it’s doable and if it gives me results then it will be well worth it.
100-Day Challenge Goals: Day 33
1. Fast clean for 19+ hours, with 2 days at 23+ hours. Fasted 20.5 hours
2. Workout six days a week (either BOD program, treadmill, or deep cleaning). Walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes
3. Eat at least 90% on plan, which means mostly low carb with one or two days of high-carbs. Right on plan today with a snack and dinner.
4. Have quiet time with God through prayer and reading. I had a lovely time in church this morning.

@Cornanda It is so good that we can start fresh. Sometimes along this journey we will have better weeks that others. You have a great attitude!!
@Jactop love the game show analogy. How true!!! Thanks for that. Also, like how you are looking at your choices. It is a good way to put it in perspective.
@TeresaW1020 your new chair sounds perfect. Hope it helps with your back. Back pain can really be tough. I like IF but I don't think I have what it takes to do it like you do. That is awesome!!! Glad you got a new coffee maker. I'm not sure which I would struggle to live without more - coffee or lipstick!!!
@GabiV125 "slow and steady route" is a great route. As the old saying goes - slow and steady wins the race!!!
@mss9675 sending hugs your way. Today is a brave new day!!! You got this!!!
@trooworld I love your reading your posts. You continue to inspire. You are doing awesome!! What a weigh-in!!! Yum - homemade lasagna!!!
@Firefly743 Another pound gone!!! Great job!!!!
@AustinRuadhain love the tweety picture!!! Love how you walked on your "day off". Great commitment!!!
@digger61 way to maintain. Sometimes we see that negative, I try to see it positive! Much rather maintain, than gain!!!
@itsmegina Great weight loss. Another pound gone!!!
@jazzagirl30 oh my goodness - what a weigh in!!!! You rocked it!!! Way to go!!
@Katmary71 I was so glad to see your update. Glad there was a little light in your tunnel. You continue to be in my prayers!!!!
@gharvey2753 Awesome weigh in!!!! Look out 170's here you come!!!
@apple852hk So interesting, I have never heard of a pub desk scheme. What a great idea. Celebrations can definitely make it tough. Cake is my weakness!!
Well the "staycation" is officially over and its back to work!! Had an awesome week. Hubby started feeling better and we were able to do our little day trip yesterday! Had a great time driving up to one of the mountains. It is so beautiful this time of year. Hope everyone is rested up and ready to conquer the upcoming week!!!

Week 3 weigh in Thursday (22Oct2020) late @broncobuddee and @jugar

Hello Slimsters! I'm pretty late on this weigh in and I don't think that has happened since I joined the group (being this many days late). Pressing on - I need the accountability and figured I'd start the day right by posting in the morning instead of what was my usual of posting at the end of the day. That was sometimes hard to do when it was a habit I was maintaining but when it's something I am struggling with...well, putting it to the end of the day means it won't get done. Changing the routine up from what I was doing to help with that!
I'm still eating more than what is needed for weight loss and I think I am maintaining. I was out of town all last week at the coast and only stepped on the scale once (but didn't check in on weigh on day, what the heck??). My weight was up this morning from the drive so we'll see how the next few days go.
I'll be going back to read more about the Jekyll/Hyde eating that I saw @Cornanda referencing back to @Jactop . Last week I adjusted my calories up to 1450 so that it would be a more reasonable number of calories as a goal after several week of consistently eating above the daily 1200 goal I had when I was much more disciplined. I still want to hit 160 and then ease into a maintenance range of 165ish to 172ish - - - or something along those lines.4 -
@adhmrh Thank you! I get inspired by everyone here, you all make me want to do better!!! I was so happy with that weigh-in, thanks. The lasagna was insanely yummy. I'm so glad you were able to do your trip. Do you have a picture you can share? I would love to see it! Here in SoCal, the leaves don't change color. Have a wonderful week!
Hello all! Well, yesterday was just a picture-perfect fall day here in Southern California and I took full advantage of it to be a sloth and lay around and read and do nothing lol. I had to run a few errands first but after that, I plopped on the couch with my Kindle and read for a bit with the doors and windows open and felt the cold breeze of fall. I meant to make Air Fryer Bang Bang Shrimp for dinner last night but at 5:00 when I went to start dinner, I realized I needed to marinate the shrimp in buttermilk for at least 4 hours so we are having it for dinner tonight instead. We had a one-pot Chicken and Mushroom Orzo dish instead. Today I have to go on-site and I wish I was working from home: my husband has the day off!

Well I'm down a smig this week but up 1lb overall this month so time to look back and see what changes I need to implement going forward.
I'm starting with No Sugar November today so I don't polish off the Halloween candy before I have the chance to hand it out.
Plans for November:
1. No sugar
2. Monitor water intake
3. 30 min of activity per day2 -
The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!4
