@Aqualang26
Nice loss ๐๐ป๐๐ป
@Beverly2Hansen
๐๐way to go on hitting your three daily goals! Spectacularly high step count๐๐ป
@rwood566
If you threw me into a vat of beer, I'd get it done ๐ Thank you, the kids are so excited to be finished with school for a couple of months.
Excellent steps Roger ๐๐ป๐๐ป Yes, MFP did that to me yesterday also, except it doubled my breakfast breakdown ๐คฃ it showed I was over by almost 1,000 calories ๐ฒ. When I fixed the duplicate, it showed a much lower overage (170) ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ. You've been so consistently staying under 1,600 (and yesterday 1,500), I admire your willpower. Thank you again for donating blood ๐ I love that your daughter WANTS to go to the gym with you.
@roz0810
Hopefully your treadmill arrives soon. ๐ค I know you miss getting in your steps. Especially with you crushing those FitBit challenges (or at least it seems that way with the high steps you have).

Steps 11,592
Yesterday was a great day, if didnโt have to drive the kids to school so I stayed in my pjโs and watch morning tv which I never do and then did some projects around the house and hubby sat in that hideous line to pick up the kids. He has never done this so wanted to give him a taste of the fun before the school year ends in a couple of weeks.
We went out for dinner last night so I think I will skip the scale this am.
I am disappointed that the weather is horrible and my hubby has to work for memorial day weekend but maybe that will allow me to be better eating. We have no plans due to the cold and pouring rain.4 -

@iradi8
The biggest difference is I am spreading my calories more evenly over the day. I think this way I am eating a little less for bed time snack so I am sleeping more comfortably.
@amymartin555
Welcome to the team! Cordless jump rope sounds like an awesome workout!
@Poobah1972
Congrats on your first week of strength training! You had a great burn for your session. Which Fitbit do you have?
@TheresaM787
Well done on another great step and bike day! Thatโs huge improving your water intake. Great thinking on using dictation while walking.
@Aqualang26
Nice loss!
@Beverly2Hansen
I hope your stomach feels better today! Awesome steps!
@rwood566
Great check in! I think mfp was messed up yesterday. I deleted an entire meal and when I came back to my diary yesterday some of the items were still there.
@rlaskey2
I never think of skipping the scale after a meal out. What a great idea as it would not set me up for a bad day even though I know itโs sodium.
@lmf1012
Awesome loss and steps!

Fridayโs check in
โSteps 3,871
โ Sleep
โ Walk
โ Physio 2/2
Not upset about missing my step goal as I had a lot going on. I ended up on 2 video chats so I was late getting to my walk and only managed 10 minutes before the pain said stop. The pain I have been having the last few days is my left hip/groin. I landed on it when I fell and the next day I walked longer than usual which I think must have aggravated it. The good news is they are sending me to a back surgeon for the pain in my right leg/back and numbness in my foot. I have impingements and she thinks I need back surgery. The wait begins to get an appointment.
I am off grocery shopping. I will be picking up my friends grocery order early afternoon as they just got a positive COVID test. We will be seeing the grandkids later in the afternoon so a busy day is shaping up. I will fit a walk in today.
Happy Saturday!5 -

Saturday
PW 163.2
CW 161.6
Loss w/MFP since 4/17/20 108.4lbs
LTD 161.4lbs
Is there a term for when a LTD matches your current weight? I guess I've lost a whole one of me, now haha.
Yesterday was my actual birthday but I'm celebrating today with my husband and kids. Husband wasn't home yesterday. We went to a local bakery and picked out some treats like I spoke of before. Then we got home and the kids gave me presents to open. Some new sports teams shirts as my other ones are too big, and a new summer dress. So far it's been a good day. I'm hoping to get in a walk this afternoon even though it's a little chilly outside.

My weigh In's for May with Saturday being my weigh in day.
May 1st- 154.4
May 8th- 151.8
May 15th- 148.8
May 22nd- 150.0
May 29th- 148.0
My goal for may was and is 147.0 with a 7lb loss and I'm 1lb shy of that after going back up. I will still weigh daily and post if by the 1st I get to 7lbs lost.๐ I'll post my steps ect towards the end of the day.6 -
@Megan_smartiepants1970 if your feet are still swollen it may be from lack of movement. My lower legs have swelled for this reason and I am wearing compression hose to relieve the swelling. If you are able to get up and walk around the house for a minute or two each hour it might help, too.

Thanks ...it is only my left ankle that is swollen ...I am resuming to my walking on Monday with my daughter and Husky ...taking it slow of course3 -
@Piqueaboo so glad that you got to spend time with your grandmother before she passed. I am sorry for your loss but am sure that she knew how much you loved her.
@rwood566 hope that you receive answers for your dizziness. A simple blood test confirmed my diagnosis. I also had an ekg, ecg, 72 hour holter monitor and multiple blood tests for anemia, vitamin deficiencies and to check blood sugars before they found the correct diagnosis. Evidently there are many causes of lightheadedness.
@lindamtuck2018 great weight loss and hope that your diagnosis is helpful in finding relief.
@Beverly2Hansen that is a huge weight loss for a month. Congratulations on incorporating so much activity into your day.

Congrats on your first week of strength training! You had a great burn for your session. Which Fitbit do you have?
Good Afternoon... First thank you for all the kind feed back you give people... Same goes to @TheresaM787 and @iradi8 and everyone else that takes the time.
You guys do an amazing job of keeping everyone going... Super motivational. I know I'm a part time only concerned about myself compared to you guys. I just don't have any extra time to put that much effort in. So I just wanted a chance to express my thanks.
As for you question... I'm - using a Fit Bit Versa 3, and oddly enough it's not the steps that motivate me or interest me. But the GPS, Zone Minutes, and General ability to calculate Burn based on actual Heart Rate is just the Cat's Pajama's. I also love the Heart Rate chart for exercises.. This tells me if I need to kick things up, or not. hehe.
This mornings round up...
I got my butt outside first thing this morning to complete my 5th walk of the week. Target goal achieved! But I must admit I sort of wimped out a wee bit. My legs were just not with me today, felt like they had a mind of their own, and they would just only move so fast, and they surely didn't like walking up hills today. I was moving slower, and I was laboring harder.
Besides we still have grocery shopping to do momentarily, and we never just go to one place. So more burn is a coming. ๐๐
As for the legs, the DOMS haven't set in yet... But they are coming, Since walking this morning I'm starting to feel it in my quads, particularly the left leg. It's going to get worse. Hmmm Yeah. ๐
So, I've decided to try something different today. For the Following reasons.- Yesterday was Leg day and legs being my largest and best muscle group, likely require the most sustenance to repair.
- Tomorrow is fast day, and I won't be feeding said muscles anything but water.
- I typically have a ridiculous Calorie burn every day and have plenty of overhead for calories.
To start with this morning... I had a third egg, and an extra piece of keto toast. But yeah, I'm keeping it all strictly keto of course, just more of it. So, let me know what you think of that plan? Make sense to you?
The day is almost done now
The DOMS have arrived... In fact they arrived shortly after walking and during grocery shopping. Sitting on the toilet is once again a very difficult task. (and I have high toilets... Thank the Lord). Getting into the car is probably the next most difficult task, as I need to push off and bend down low with my left leg. And for some reason my Left leg is much more angry then my right.
So I guess that mean's we did something right. ๐๐
I managed to eat 2200 calories today.. And believe me when I say I wasn't hungry, so I was just stuffing more in my mouth purely cause I know it's good for me. FYI, I probably shouldn't have had the nice serving of Keto Ice cream (it was amazing by the way... and stupid expensive). But whatever... Extra wings were also nice.
Hopefully the pain isn't going to get any worse, and disappears by Monday morning? *crosses fingers* ๐ค
Have a great night and a great sleep everyone.
I actually need to go to work and do the monthly finances for my family (myself, son, brother and fiancรฉ). I got spreadsheets so everyone pays there fair share... lol. Oh well needs to be done... Gotta Run! (yes that means I literally bunch in every item from every receipt, from every purchase for the whole month, and have a share system for each person.... Were talking amazon, Drug store, Grocery store... Any place really). :P
OH crap almost forgot... Went to see a Doctor today and since my AC1 is 5.1 he refuses to test my glucose again. Which I guess is good if my AC1 is so good and it's suppose to represent about 3-6 months of history. But what about all those high Glucose readings I get? I just don't get it. (FYI my wife tests good and normal every time using the same devise). So I'm confused.
Also refused to test HDL and LDL again.. Cause my numbers were so phenomenal. He does want a pee test though, as my Creatinine tested so good I either have remarkable kidney health, or something is wrong. He also though I was in my mid 30's and not 49? So whatever.
Anyway, they will test my hemoglobin and iron and stuff again.. And hopefully the Anemia is just a small blip on the radar. (I'm thinking of doctoring up the form, to include glucose, but that would be unethical? hmmmm).
Thanks once again for all the support, and I'm just as proud of you, as you guys are of me. And girls you all really do look gorgeous, (and yeah the guys too... ๐ ). ๐๐ค๐๐4 -
@poobah24
I appreciate how you give us an update on what's working and you always have such an optimistic attitude! I look forward to reading your posts. I am a believer in eating more on lifting days. I wish I had more data to back it up, but I have lost around 30 pounds without losing muscle mass (as much as I can trust a $30 body composition scale) with this strategy.1
