Serial Starters

Lynn, they are adorable. How fun.
Sara, I hope it was a great day without the Monster.

Closing went smoothly--big check, so I drove straight to the bank.
TTFN.

Welcome to A New Body~ We are simply a social group here on this thread every day. You are welcome to jump in at any time. 🤗

Maureen - Yes, big congratulations on that closing! 🥳

Sara - So Monster is super paranoid about germs. Has she been vaccinated?

If people haven't yet had the vaccine, they should check in with their doctor and take their advice.

I am grateful for a sun-shiny day out there.
I've got to hustle along and get my tax return extension signed. I cannot wait to be single again. My returns will then be done by March every year. 😇

Hi everyone - I am kinda not a serial starter, long story short, I was losing, slowly, but getting down there - then I got sick - and lost a whole lot really fast, so much so I had bat wings, and flabby bits everywhere, nothing fit, I couldn't even rummage in my closet for anything. Anyways a few Dr. yellings later, I am eating more, I am way under calories every day, but the weight isn't dropping. Exercise is out due to a tangle with my dog and tearing my ACL -
I am actually never really hungry, a leftover from the sickness. But I am eating more than my one Boost a day now.

Really need some good friends

Good morning, friends.

Sara, what were you watching? I'm always looking for my next British crime drama.

Lana and Lynn, it's always so nice to see you on here.

@jsiricos: You may know this, but I'll mention it in case you don't. When you lose weight quickly, some of it will be lean muscle. Your body won't go back to burning fat exclusively until that lean muscle your body needs is replaced. Stick with it and you will start to lose fat again. After regaining some weight due to rebuilding muscle. You will feel stronger and be hungry again when that happens, too.

I'm living in a hotel until I move-might stay in a friend's camper part of the time, but the only thing I don't like is that it seems harder to plan meals. I have this "vacation" mentality and eating out--or rather, getting take out--is so much more appealing. I have a box of non-perishables in my car and need to bring it in; just too lazy. Writing about it might help me get over that hump. Back to exercising, more or less, but not at the pace I kept in FL. I don't enjoy walking as much when it's coldish out. But that's just being a big baby b/c it isn't really cold and I know that better than anyone. I guess I'm just missing the balmy weather of Florida in the spring.

Have a great evening, all.

'Mornin' all ☀️

Maureen - when do you move to Charlotte?

Sara - good for you for getting so many steps in yesterday! Cheering you on! Take your Happy Spray with you today.

Where is that handsome young man with the pot of half-car?

I'm tired of being a serial starter. Been up/down over 25 years...

If anyone wants a encouragement buddy, you can add me😊

I'm a serial starter myself. lets team up!

Lana, I'm not familiar with any of those terms, but they are delightfully expressive. And I plan to arrive in Charlotte around June 30, with July 1 being my move-in date.

I've been working today and walking Skye for a bit of a break from the screen. In person tomorrow and hoping someone shows up. It's so boring without students. I have plenty of paperwork, but I miss "my" kids. This has all been so hard on them and they are so out of the habit of getting up and out for school.

I have been hungry lately--too much eating at maintenance or even slightly above, although I don't think I've gained much weight. I have the scale in the car and just need to bring it into my hotel room. And do some shopping to make sure I have what I want in my room. I am just craving salads daily and I've been buying them, but I need more veggies on them to help with the hunger. And probably more protein.

But, it's been a lovely day today and Skye is doing so well with the change and the casual training I do with her. All in all, a good day.

Thank you for the welcomes, my name is Sue, (easier to type) I got cancer, yay go me! Throat cancer aka, cancer of a million papercuts.
35 rads, 3 chemos, fun fact - did you know chemo boosts your metabolism to about 3500 cals a day? So with a stomach the size of a grape, and a papercut throat (NOOOO to applesauce omg) Boost became my best friend.
I lost 100 pounds really fast - 3 months or so. Hence the flabby bits. Got yelled at by my doctors a fair bit too - and threatened with a feeding tube... yuck

So I ate high calorie to get them to stop yelling, and to stop passing out, (along with throat cancer, I have an incinerated Thyroid, and Baroreceptor dysfunction.) We all have baroreceptors, they live on our carotids, they are what tells your body to pump blood to your head when you stand etc.. without it, you kinda fall down, go boom.. a lot.

So that's my 100 pound weight loss in a nutshell, I've gained some, now I need to lose, but slower this time, so my skin can keep up

Good morning
Wow Sue - that is quite the journey. I am glad you are here to talk about it. Inspiring fight!
Lana - thank you for the smile. I have no idea what the plan is yet. I am limping around in quite a bit of knee pain. MRI next week then I suppose an Ortho dr. and then maybe finally answers.
Maureen - I am glad Skye is adapting. Dogs are resilient.
Have a great day!
