2. I eat between 1750-1820 calories everyday and my TDEE is around 3300 calories. I got that info from here: https://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ . This is a steep deficit and the reason why I am losing so much weight.
6. I struggle with boredom eating a lot so I try very hard to keep myself busy. It’s specially hard for me on the weekends so I try to leave the house as often as I can. I am that dumb dude that would travel 20 miles outside the city to go to Ikea to buy a scissor.
Thanks for sharing your tips and perspective. I'd never seen the TDEE calculator before.
And Ikea's just fun to go to, scissors needed or not.1 -
hurray it's Saturday! @jugar, you've got great walking routes - what sweet donkeys! I'll check out the video - I need to add in some weights now.
@Kali225
We have a little break in the weather and my exercise for the weekend will be walking to and fro and up and down in the garden digging dahlias, moving peonies and if I can't get the sitdown mower blade to drop, walking around with the old reel mower. I haven't mowed in about 3 months due to the drought and I have a high tolerance for grass. I used the reel mower a few times and it's very pleasant quiet exercise. The field up back demands the sitdown.
My town is having a special Town Meeting today outdoors so they can push through a $5 million land purchase. I'm irritated enough that they disenfranchise a huge segment of the population of 25,000 (what senior wants to jeopardize their health!?) that I might just go and be part of the 100 or so people who vote - AND if I do I will bicycle down.
@micki48, like you, I baked the other day and it was a mistake - stollen and also sultana cake. It's that time of year when I'm in the baking mood and we now have our new oven. Had a couple days of indulgence and am getting back on the wagon today - eggs and salad and soup ingredients in the fridge. Another good protein go-to is a can of sardines - but, you've got to like sardines , which I do on rye bread.3 -
Yikes - Saturday is running faster than I am!!!

Apologies for my continuing absence. We got more test results for my son on Wednesday and things started to move in a good direction quickly. They are talking about him being discharged early this week on a home administered IV pump with antibiotic infusions for a few weeks. He can’t be alone while he is hooked up so I’ll be staying in the city with him for the duration. But we are so glad to finally be getting him out of the hospital. They have done a good job but our rapidly increasing COVID numbers are making us all very nervous. At least in his condo we can control the contacts better. His vision is still a concern although one eye is coming along pretty well. The other we’ve been told is too early to evaluate. But considering some of the possible outcomes we were told when he was first admitted we are truly counting our blessings to be at this stage. Thanks to all of you for your words of support and prayers in the past three weeks.9

- my weight is slowly getting down but now it is visible that I m losing weight specially for my legs. Yet there is a long journey but hearing comments over it from friends is a good sign for me.
- I dropped the water goal but yet try to improve it to improve my metabolism.
- I had 8.5 excercise hours for last week , mostly spent for moderate outdoor biking.
- staying in valid calorie range was easier for me in this week.
- I ve seen a black beans & banana brownies recipe, so this week I will try it without adding sugar/honey/siroop/dates. And found a 100% chocolate bar without any sugar in the store, so can have some dessert this coming week.7 -

WEEK FOUR CHALLENGE IS UP AND READY FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION!!
This week’s challenge is all about food swaps that will keep us on track during the holidays but also allow us to enjoy every moment of them! Please click the link and let’s get to sharing our favorite ways to swap!
FOOD SWAPS FOR BETTER HEALTH1 -
After a normal start yesterday, my eating devolved midday. I am NOT baking any more...unless I can give it away the same day.3

Good morning! I'm so glad to hear from you, @CanadianGiraffe - and the news about your son is wonderful. Just getting out of the stress of hospital will make a huge difference, and it is good that you'll be able to stay with him to make that possible. Be sure to take time for yourself, breathe deeply, and healing will take its course.
@mbakhtiaruz
You must be feeling great about hearing your friends noticing your weight loss and beautiful legs! It helps so much to have others say something about what they are seeing - we see ourselves every day and don't really notice the differences, but someone who has not seen you constantly has a better view of the change. Well done on the exercise, and finding some sweet indulgences that won't knock you off track.
Tally time - there are a lot of empty spaces in the weigh-ins - hoping that everyone will be back this week3 -
My youngest is turning 6 and we had his party this weekend! It was a busy day yesterday celebrating. I watched my calories so I could enjoy the dinner and cupcakes! He loves pigs so we had a farm party. Thinking of all you bakers out there! I baked and decorated these cute piggy cupcakes! We still have leftover cupcakes and blueberry muffins 😋 With any luck we'll polish them off today eat lighter before Thanksgiving this Thursday. Not much exercise unless you count assembling toys!
@CanadianGiraffe So so so glad things are turning around 🙌 Best news!
@happimess01 Love your insights! You are doing such a wonderful job! I really need to keep working on the protien thing!

Unsurprising. I've been depression eating again and dinner last night was very salt heavy.
Plus I spend so much time sitting and writing these days.
Oh well. I did say I was gonna take it easy through the end of the year.6 -
@micki48 Steps for this week:
Sun: 10,854
Mon:2,800
Tues: 7,830
Wed: 8,530
Thurs: 8,688
Fri: 8,180
Sat: 7,000
It's been a good week although I haven't checked in much here. I've done *pretty well* with attentiveness while eating. It's often times easier to eat in the livingroom than the diningroom. I realize some of that is because I have the habit of moving from my desk to the table while sorting through recycling paperwork as well as reading projects, etc. Remaining "contained" seems to be a theme, as does the apparent need to keep projects visible so I remember to work on them. Gotta love ADHD at this age. It's all about strategies!
Have a great day, everyone. More soon.
Enjoy a splendid holiday week. It'll be the first time in YEARS that both of my daughters will be home with me. Yay!
hugs all around.

@conleywoods HBD to him! beautiful cupcakes! my life seems very boring compared to yours
@jugar thanks I am not a great cook, so I'm just at the beginning of the road of learning to cook healthy desserts instead of skipping them.
this is the sugar-free black bean & banana brownie with pure cacao that I cooked today. it tastes good if you already like dark chocolate:
