    Hello, fellow Shrinking Assets members!

    My name is Jill and I am newly 55 years old.

    I have been on the journey to being healthier, mindful about food and exercise as well as losing weight since 2015. My highest weight has been 243. My lowest weight was 179, at the start of the pandemic. I have done a reset and downloaded My Fitness Pal to lose the weight I gained during this very stressful pandemic and continue on to my ultimate goal of reducing my A1c and not moving to diabetes as well as my BMI at a healthy range. Recently diagnosed pre-diabetic. My starting weight was 192 and my weight-in on Sunday was 189.6. I am pretty active: walk over 10,250 steps daily, ride a stationary bike 3 times a week, HIIT 3 times a week, and lift weights 2 times a week.

    I have a dietitian that has been on the journey with me for 3 years. Challenges are really great, inspiring, as well as an opportunity to encourage. Looking forward to our journey together.

    Not surprised since I've been stress eating. Got back on track Wednesday and saw the scale move down just not in time for weigh in. Next week will be awesome!

    Looking forward to seeing those whoooshes for you all next week!

    I’m on day 2/30 of leaving the apartment every day in April, so far so good. I’m also feeling a lot better in general, even though most of my symptoms came back in some form and even brought some lovely joint pain friends. I’m less worried since the symptoms came back and we had the ultrasound confirming everything looks fine, and my energy levels have increased a little bit. I no longer need 10 hours every night + 2-3 naps, this week I’ve been largely on 8 hours per night + 1-2 naps. That’s a huge amount of extra time to my day, especially now that I’m no longer spending most of my awake time hugging the toilet.

    Today we successfully went on a little walk, got groceries, came home and cooked a healthyish dinner, all in a row without me having to lie down or take a nap break. I know it sounds like a ridiculously small achievement, but for me this was a big win after a very rough early pregnancy. Morning sickness is also mostly gone, afternoon and evening sickness still remain but are much more manageable because I have more energy in general.

    I'm a little worried about my weigh in tomorrow. I've not done well this week.

    Last weeks weigh in did not post apparently. No change. Holding steady. I'm really going to have to push myself to lose this last 15 pounds.

    Have a great weekend y'all!

    I am presently surprised considering this week has been a hard one how me. While I tried to stay on track I did not get to exercise at all. I did have a bit of a controlled splurge on the weekend and I'm glad it didn't bite me at weigh in. I am only 3.6 lb shy of my previous alltime low since iver gained so much weight and that is super exciting for me cuz I cannot wait to go even lower!

    Yeeeeeees way to go!! That is amazing!! Keep it up!!! Stay focus and you will get there

    Had a bit of a whoosh this week but we are out of town for the weekend, which means a lot of meals out. Trying to be mindful yet still eating some new things. Surprisingly I got my steps in because we walked to and from dinner. Hopefully I won’t get too off track!
