Hey gang, sorry for not commenting on everything, I was hoping to reply to some things but am struggling so I'll just do what I can.

@Sammydee2015 maintenance is definitely more challenging than losing for me but a lot of that is health-related as well. My best advice would be to deal with the psychological part while losing and find a healthy balance. It's easy to go hardcore and get the weight off and be in the right weight range. Perfect example is I'm still doing small workouts but was channeling stress into a lot of cardio. Now that I can't do that I want to eat out of stress but have to find better ways to unwind like taking a bath or journaling. If I'd taken a more holistic approach it wouldn't be like relearning, just need to think of it as a continuous Journey and not short-term.

Still doing the same stuff, just worn out right now.

@RYcare Great loss!!

@trooworld Congrats on your loss this week! Thank you, he had such a great day! He loved Santa, just babbled away to him the whole time and was obsessed with figuring out how the bell worked 😂

@Firefly743 Great weigh in!

@TeresaW1020 Thank you! We do wacky stuff to make him laugh, like wearing lids as hats lol. I did make his cake, it’s supposed to be a racecar lol but it doesn’t look much like the picture in the book! But he is obsessed with numbers so he loved the number 2 on the front & back.
Sorry to hear about your back. Take it easy!

Not much to report here, I have been exercising but not tracking. Hoping to get to the pool this afternoon as the weather has warmed up again. I have one more week of work and then I have a week and a half off! It’s been forever since I had leave so I’m looking forward to it so much!

@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm aiming for 55kg. I've never been that weight in my life. So it's just another 5kg or so to lose.

I'm 160cm so my BMI says that 60kg is average

What's your weightloss goal?


@apple852hk – Good job on the steady loss! May I ask what your goal weight is? And your height?

Thanks for all the great responses to my post last week. Loved the boat analogy. I meant to reply individually but the week has been manic (as usual!).

This week has been a mental challenge to not overeat all the sugary foods that abound at this time of year. I have been fairly successful. I'm disappointed the scale this morning has shown an (small) increase but upon analysing my week there was some self delusion going on. Okay, I wasn't eating the whole chocolate bar in one go but all the smaller bits were adding up.
If I was in maintenance this would be fine but I want to lose weight so new tactics are called for.

On a positive - I went back to Zumba and yoga (closed due to lockdown 2). Oh how my body aches but it is a good ache!

This week I'm going back to weighing and logging. I know it works and I need to be doing something different because what I am doing isn't working in the way I want it to.

Have a great week everyone

@apple852hk I am 5 foot 4 and my goal is 145 lb. I have a larger bone structure, so my doctor said that he's happy if I am at 155 pounds. Haven't quite decided what I'm going to do yet, but I've got some time to get it figured out.

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!!

@apple852hk I have an idea, how about making your own chocolate? You'd probably come out at maintenance instead of under but you'd burn off the candy calories crafting them!

@trooworld I love your village! My brother made the mistake of telling my aunt he liked her village and she gave it to him. I went over to babysit my nephews and my SIL had the "wonderful" idea that I could do it with my nephews who were like 4 and 6, she brought in a bunch of boxes and lights and my mouth just dropped! It's a whole universe, not a village! I was so happy to be making cookies instead the other day, I love how they look but it's a lot of lights to stick in those! Especially with two little boys!

@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm so glad the surgery is behind you, prayers for a quick recovery! Are you able to get any rest? I recently had really weird dreams on Norco, I don't normally take it but was trying to avoid the ER and did recently. What is the recovery time?

I missed the height/weight comment and can't go back a page or I'll lose this. My height keeps going up which makes no sense, I'm about 5'5 and probably 155 right now, I look best around 140. I'm pear-shaped if that matters, I went down to a small on the top right away but my bottom half took forever to shrink. I was 122 when I finished losing and I looked too bony on top, people kept telling me I'd overdone it and I eventually agreed. I just didn't plan on putting on this much!

I stress-ate in the middle of the night, I'm going to have to re-evaluate some things. I was hoping to get more stable physically before making changes and part of me wants to wait until the 1st but if I do my jeans won't fit anymore! The cannabis tea is helping a lot, the salve makes me worse which if course makes no sense. Everyone thought I was nuts to try a tea by someone I barely knew but I started really small just in case and thank God it's helping some. It's the only time in a few months I've been under a pain level 8, the grower is a bit drama-filled but she's a good person so I'll probably at least keep in touch with her if not buy more.

@bethanie0825 Good job this week 😊

@itsmegina I’m glad you have the right perspective in knowing you didn’t really gain that much this week. It will drop back down soon, I’m sure.

@krea4 Zumba and yoga sound great! Glad you can get back to classes. Weighing & logging is always helpful 😊

@vegan4lyfe2012 I’m glad the surgery went well. Thinking of you and hoping for a speedy recovery. Meanwhile, congrats on the loss!

@raleighgirl09 Congrats on being the biggest loser for week 2!! Well done!

Not much to update here, much of the same. I stayed home from work today with a headache, which I think is related to my recent lack of sleep.

Hoping to get our Christmas decorations up in the next day or so, now the little guy’s birthday is done. Still deciding where we are going to put the tree, not sure we can trust him to not pull everything down!
