I only stopped once for a minute halfway, so I guess moderate stair climbing:) It was only about four minutes. Thank you!
You total for yesterday was 10,764 steps ...Great job2 -
Tracked all food again today!
Got in a beautiful 10km run. 😀4 -
@lelbarou
The brown rice with almond milk actually sounds kind of good. I might try that.
@littleflutterby
You have been doing so great. Even with the difficulties you've had, you're always encouraging to everyone. It is so hard when we don't feel well:( Gallstones are no fun. It sounds like you have made a good plan for food. I like what you said about the scale and your weight not being your worth. None of us will have a perfect journey, but we are so much better off overall than we were. Love your attitude:)
@363days
I think I am both pinching myself and scaring myself:) LOL.
@Piqueaboo
I completely get that! It is so much easier at home. I am out of town right now. It's only for one night, but restaurants, ice cream in the freezer, snacks in the car, etc. It feels good to see that scale go down after being home and being able to eat better, right?
@Tazaria87
Dancing for exercise sounds like so much fun while burning those calories and getting our heart healthy! It's your husband's birthday and you're under on calories? That's great! That cake will be so good tomorrow:)3 -

Hi team! I just popped on for a minute before going to bed. It was a rough day as I was hurting so bad from the fall. I also really felt the nerve pain today as right now I am almost at 13,000 steps. @Megan_smartiepants1970 i will updat all my steps hopefully tomorrow. In the morning we are moving the last of the stuff from the old apartment. I put as much away as I could today but there is a lot of boxes in the spare room. I will take my time over the next week putting it away. Our internet and cable is not working for some reason but they are coming tomorrow evening to fix it. I am using my phone as a hotspot so I am sure it chews up my data. Hopefully, tomorrow night I can respond to some posts. I saw some impressive losses. Congrats! To those that gained (including me) we can get that loss next week.

Food logged.
Under calories.
96 oz. water.
Slept for 8 hours last night.
Didn't know how to change MFP settings to 1240 calories so changed loss rate to 0.5 pounds a week. That is the only reason I am under calories for the day. It still felt like a victory because I did not overeat tonight. Will keep working on eating til not hungry instead of eating until feel stuffed. This is tricky for me as I am very slow to feel stuffed. Have been working on eating a certain amount then waiting 15-20 minutes to ask myself if I am full. It has increased my after dinner conversation with family so don't feel so out of the loop.

Hey Downsizers... Thought I would get to sleep in today (yesterday).... Nope. I got a call from my sister who lives on the East Coast. I have a brother who has to have an emergency doctors appt for a medical procedure... Not really sure what it is going to be at this point. One of my other brothers was able to fly and stay with him. The procedure is tomorrow. My whole day was spent making phone calls to my sister and 2 brothers. A little stressful, and it isn't over yet. I might be absent for a couple of days, as we won't really know anything till tomorrow. Serious sigh.
You all are doing so well. Even with a slip up here an there, we are staying the course and moving forward. I am rooting for us always!!5 -

Hi all,
Thanks so much for you many messages and input. I appreciate it!
The struggle I had with was actually something I did. Not so much what someone else did
I did a lot of exercise yesterday and it helped calm me down.
Anyway, I really appreciate all of you and your support and input is really valuable!
Thanks for being there are always being supportive, kind and non-judgemental!
It means a lot!

Hi. Thank you for your message about your sleep issues. Using the treadmill and listening to podcasts sounds like good ways of promoting sleep. I don't have any exercise machines in my apartment, so unfortunately I have to get outside to exercise. I do sometimes listen to music. Maybe taking that to bed with earbuds is a good idea. I appreciate the suggestions.
@littleflutterby
Hi Tanya. Your new breakfast sounds and looks delicious! YUM! Also, I loved your comment that our value is far beyond what it says on the scale! I totally agree. We are far more than that. It shouldn't decide anyone's worth. We are mind, body and spirit. We are so much more!
@Beautyofdreams
Hello. I relate to what you said about obsessing over things and sometimes being really over-sensitive or taking things top personally. I have been to therapy for various things, but finding coping mechanisms for stress and strong emotions have eluded me to some extent. I think that exercise and talking with others helps a lot. In general, I find stress hard to deal with. That's an ongoing project for me to find healthy ways to cope with stress. Thanks for your message.
@lindamtuck2018
Wow! I'm so sorry that the fall is causing so much pain, especially never pain which I know is truly terrible. I'm hoping and praying things are better today. Please be careful! Take care and I hope you have a better day today!
@iHUSTLE4MUSCLE
WOW! I just was looking at your post and saw you did 31952 steps!
That is so amazing and inspiring! You are really doing great with your fitness and your steps are just awesome. Way to go! It's so amazing!
@Bluetail6
Hi Lee,
I'm so sorry about your brother. I'm thinking of you and sending my very best wishes! I hope the procedure that he requires goes smoothly and is successful! Hoping and praying for the best result for your brother. We care about you and we are here to support you!

Hey everyone happy Saturday!!
I’m sorry I’ve been absent here. It’s been a busy month so far. I’ve been a struggling with my journey but I’m trying each day. I wake up ready and with resolve and don’t always finish the day right. But I am trying. I’m staying as active as possible, trying to make healthy choices when I can and drinking water when I remember. Last week was mine and my husband a 20th wedding anniversary. We didn’t get to celebrate how we’d wanted due to Covid and lockdown + curfews. It really sucks but we still made the most of it. We downed a whole bottle of crèment between the 2 of us lol.
Next week is gonna be another busy week with appointments for the kids. Hope I can check in a few times before my next weigh in day
