@mari_moulin I'm sorry to hear that you reason is sick I remember those days and even when they are older, I can't sleep for worrying about them. I'm glad his test was negative but this sounds pretty painful what he is going through. I agree with @azkunk - I hope you give yourself permission to take a break.3

@lindamtuck2018 Congrats on the 2 pounds - maybe being out of the stressful apartment has changed the way your body is holding on to food and helping with the desire to binge. That is a huge accomplishment, it feels so good when there is more and more time between episodes.4

Hi all, here for Monday check in. Not much has happened in the past week. I'm still going well with my plan. I bought a packet of fresh blueberries to add into the breakfasts, did me 5 servings which was good. It's nice to have another loss, I was 250.4 yesterday so to step on for first time and see that was surprising. I did weigh in about 45 mins later than I usually do. I am still very dubious on my scales - does anyone have any recommendations for scales? I'm in the UK so won't have some of the shops you do but, Amazon recommendations would probably be the most cross Atlantic accessible place as could likely get it from the UK site too.
Have a great week everyone 2 -

loss 2.6
Logging - yes
exercise - yes ( had the Covid test - I don't have it!)
steps - 6145
So, I lost 2.6, but this is over a two week period and I usually lose this or more over a one-week period. I think maybe I am not able to deal with grains very well, which is what I had suspected. As a result, starting tomorrow (had little in the pantry so just ate a grain), I will be on a no grain or very limited grain diet. Perhaps to really experiment this coming week, I will completely go no grain to see how the results change. Then perhaps I can switch again to one grain the following week and then I will have a full comparison.
Anyway, on happier news I don't have Covid, so I was able to go out for a walk yesterday.
@lindamtuck2018

I don’t know how you do it. How do you work through the pain? I need hints as I am useless to walk any distance with the pain.Hmm. My most did not go.

Not a great week or weekend. Spent most of the week recovering from shin splints and the weekend trying to recover from a migraine. I have given up on January's goals and I am just going to try to make it through the rest of the month without gaining.

Congrats on the loss! This meal plan is really working for you. I bought my scales off Amazon. It is a 1byone scale. They seem to work good. I know some people mentioned renpho before.Weight check in

Yay on the loss and not having covid. How is your sore throat now? I am glad you are walking again. The weather has been ok for walking except for the freezing rain we had the other day.0 -
I am able to do pretty well when I'm at home when it comes to food even though we have some junk in the house (my husband's). My daughter loves to bake, so that's hard as well because of the smell! This past weekend, we took an unexpected trip. I brought some healthy snacks, but had to eat at or get takeout or fast food from restaurants for those two days. Man, this is tough when I'm not at home!
My son drove back to college (almost 8 hours away) on Saturday morning. Well, his new standing desk that we got him when he was home (due to pandemic) last year wouldn't fit in his truck. It fit in my SUV, so my husband, daughter and I packed up and drove there with him. My son is in his first apartment, so it was a blessing in disguise to have to go there because my husband was able to come and see our son's apartment for the first time. We drove the almost eight hours back last night. No exercise for me Saturday or Sunday, 15+ hours in the car and restaurants make me not want to step on the scale this morning. I'm tired, but I'll be getting on the treadmill after writing this message. I already miss my kiddo:)
Congrats to all who lost this week! A big congrats to @lindamtuck2018, @Sripalbhansaliand @363days this week!
@mari_moulin
It's so hard when your child is sick:( Hope he starts to feel better soon.
@scribb
Happy belated birthday!
@rlaskey2
I love salmon but rarely buy it. I saw some at Sam's Club yesterday and almost bought it. I will next time. There are different kinds and not sure if one is better than the other.
@Beautyofdreams
I love @lindamtuck2018 's response to you. It sure can be frustrating to wake up the next morning and wonder why in the world a binge happened. I just started reading the book Brain Over Binge. I think someone here mentioned it, and I got it from the library.
@lelbarou
Glad your test was negative:)
@jimboden3
Thanks for the tips on the overnight oats. I've only tried them once. I have been wanting to try them again, so I think I will this week:)
@DawnCumm
An even hundred! Amazing! Congrats!
@azkunk and @draby2011
I know how exhausting it is being a healthcare worker during these trying times. My husband works in the ER, and I see how tired he is both mentally and physically. He comes home and says that he feels like he's in a Covid contamination chamber. Most of his patients in the ER these days have Covid. Hang in there.
