All green checks yesterday but the scale was up almost a pound. I think the reason is because my afternoon meals were late and I forced the rest of my planned meals in after 5:30 even though I wasn’t hungry. At the end of the night I felt full and bloated so I was expecting a gain in the morning. I will time my meals better today.
Hope everyone else is having a great day.4 -

My boyfriend called me from the hospital. He is not making enough progress against Covid and is being placed on a ventilator. He has called a lawyer and drawn up his will and named a brother as his medical contact in case of emergency. I am very concerned for him and hope that he pulls through.6 -
Hi Everyone.
November wasn't good for me, but I'm about the same as where I was at the end of October.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 count me in for the step challenge.
I want to walk 10,000 steps a day.
Today 12/02 = 10, 982 steps
Yesterday 12/01 = 12, 230 steps
I teach English to immigrants and refugees. I am 57 and a mom to 3. Two of my kids are living at home - an unemployed (Thanks Covid) 25 year old son and a 20 year old daughter that has returned from college. I never used to sit. I am currently teaching online and sitting 8 +hours a day. I am having lots of hip issues, but things are improving due to a new chiropractor, yoga, and a foam roller.
I try to walk every day, or if it's warm I go for a bike ride (not happening lately!) I also do yoga and do Zumba via Zoom twice a week. Exercise is not my problem . . . it's the FOOD!
My goal - work on eating healthy meals without snacking.5 -

2nd December
* Track/ under calories/no restricting - ✔️✔️✔️
* 2L water ✔️
* "fresh air" count- 15 ✔️
* midnight bedtime ✔️
* Awake and out of bed by 9am ✔️
*
Steps- 10,019 (did the walking on the spot thing again haha)
Workouts- 3 out of 4 for the week
Hi guys just a quickie from me and I swear I'll be around more tomorrow!
I was about to dance but got a call from a friend and she was going through some stuff so.... an hour later, it was 11.30 and no time to dance. Thankfully I was nearly at 10,000 steps anyway and just needed to do a few more before hitting my challenge for the day
Tomorrow I am filling out my payment applications for school and hopefully paying the course fee! Also going to my FINAL dentist appointment to get my last few fillings (I think 2 more?) Years of abuse and neglect to my poor mouth and I am paying for it now!! (Thankfully not financially at least!)
So tomorrow I'm going to try and do exercises earlier in the day- around about 10am. I'm going to aim to be up before 9, have a water and a protein shake and try dancing! Will see how that goes!
Love to everyone, happy weigh in day (in the morning) to our lovely Thursday peeps!
Stay safe

I didn’t get a walk or as much done as I would have liked to yesterday. My eating was better but I did overeat at night. I ended the day with 266 over calories which is a lot better than the days when I have been over by 1500 calories or more. Baby steps!
Linda my doctor told me that to lose weight you can not be under 1600 calories and you should not be over 18000 -

He wants me at 140 by March so that is a pound a week loss. Plus he wants me doing the ab and plank challenge all through the month. He is also making me take progress pictures. So to fulfill one of my requirements I am writing my December goals down here.
1. 1 pound a week loss
2. 2 Dr Pepper a week limit
3. At least 20 oz of water a day.
4. Run 5 minutes straight by the end of the month
5. Exercise every day
6. Log my food and no binge eating
*sorry for the long post
Wow! So jealous that you can go to the gym! Plank challenge is wonderful. I prefer squats than plank but plank helps a lot. Progress pictures are always something good because the image that we see in the mirror can be changed by our perception but a photo shows you reality. And sometimes we focuse too much in the damn scale.
I haven't drink Dr. Pepper in ages but now I want one🤣2 -

But cleanning up is a super hard work sometimes. Free gym at home1 -

Uhh I love that! There is a crew that they upload videos in youtube and i love them. They are called MAS and they are awesome. If you write in youtube Zumba and a year f.e. Zumba 2020 you'll get an entire playlist to work out with.0 -

That's difficult.
Try to write meals that you think they will be easy for you. Make them with what you actually like but in a healthier way.
And think about what is what you like about something.
For example, when my girlfriend is craving chips, she is craving the salt from the chips, so with certain type of soup she goes better. When I am craving chips, I'm craving the crunch so what it helps me is eating fresh carrots.1 -

Great news! And it is so good to help friends and be helped by friends. I think I would have made my friend dance with me too🤣
I hear you with the dentist. I have been lately having appointments and appointments because I was leaving everything and at the end it went wrong. Now, even if I was done, I should go once more but I'm afraid of paying another big amount again😅
You are doing really good. Inspiring.1 -
Good morning beautiful people. Today the alarm of my girlfriend woke me up in a way that i jumped out of the bed and start singing and dancing like crazy. 3 times the same song. Great song but when you are sleeping... buff
And the poor thing didn't even notice the alarm until I started singing. At 6 in the morning. Super!
I was feeling like shouting and running a marathon at the same time so I went to the wii fit to calm down.
When I wake up hiper you don't wanna be near me. It looks like I took speed or something similar. Annoying. 🤣
After sporting quite much I started eating my breakfast and now I'm feeling like going back to bed. But is 9:10 so I need to study instead.
I'm walking too little outside the house lately because at 17.00 everything is dark. Really dark outside. And before that time I'm super busy. So what I'm doing is sporting at home. I combine the wii, the cleanning and zumba. So far it's working. And the fact that outside is so cold helps a lot😉
Lately I'm thinking about asking for a Gastric Bypass. Apparently things changed a lot in 10 years and I'm really considering. In February 2010 I had a Gastric Sleeve and they told me that with my eating habits it was really good because I was already eating quite clean. In the beginning I lost a lot of weight in the first months but then all came back. And now 10 years later I'm like in the first step. What makes me crazy angry is that the surgeon knew about my healthy habits and he did that surgery because is less invasive but he should know that that will go back.
I'm tired of checking every little thing I put in my mouth and seeing that is not enough. But I'm worried if that surgery will end up the same.
My head is going back and forth all the time.5 -
