9/20 202.3 I feel like I am fighting off stress with a club and I am losing the fight. I know I have to get my head together in order to lose weight and my head is not together right now. Maybe I should be working on maintenance instead of attempting to lose because right now I am so discouraged. Trauma is not something you just get over and I am trying to just get over it. I am still trying to watch my calories intake, I am still doing my workout routine. However cortisol (stress hormone) is a beast.

@starrjulia8, I'm sorry that you've been suffering with high cortisol stress. I do too along with adrenal fatigue. I had a horrible bout of it 2 years ago. I've been meaning to say something to you, but mine is so bad that I can't even read about someone else's stress without it affecting me. I take a B complex supplement, methyl B12 along with an adrenal support blend of ashwagandha, rhodiola, some other herbs I can't think of right now. If the stress hits you in your gut, like a rolling boil, just get up, walk around and do deep breathing exercises until the feeling subsides. ❤
Afterthought~ If you're trying to follow a keto diet during this time, sad to say it's not going to work. Keto and high cortisol don't play well together. Better to just take care of the stress and do your best with exercise.8 -

Been working from home for about 18 months. Might not be much advice here, but I'll put in what I do.
If it is possible, I try to take meetings walking or standing. Some meetings I can just be on the phone and walk around (front yard, backyard, pace the house). Some require me to be on the computer. If it's possible (AKA BF not cooking/eating lunch), I'll take my computer to the dining room since our cabinets separating kitchen/dining area are tall enough and I can stand while I watch the presentation. Not much, but better than sitting. Plus, I can't stand still so I'm constantly shifting. (downside is I'm staring at my kitchen so I really have to focus on work to avoid mindless snacking)9 -

What kind of work? In front of a computer or at a desk, I’m guessing? Could you possibly set aside 5 minutes or so every hour to get up and walk around the house for those 5 minutes? Can you do your work standing/walking in place?9 -
@tiabirdie56 Thanks for the info. I am not doing Keto but I will look into supplements as an option. For me I have been working on my mental health, but maybe there is something that can help in a non-medical way.5

@starrjulia8, ❤4

Awe, thanks. How kind you are! I am really motivated. Today I caught sight of myself in a big mirror in a washroom at work, and I did a double take. OMG, I look a lot better! My belly has got a lot smaller and my hips a lot narrower. My arms fit into sweaters that used to be annoyingly tight.
Still nearly 25 pounds to go to reach my goal, but I have stayed on target all the way along and hope to hit my ultimate target by Christmas. I am admittedly tired but I am hanging in there. I am just 0.2 pounds off losing 1/3 of my body mass. I know that I should probably scale the loss back, but I can't seem to do it! I just want to keep going! Don't worry, I have a plan to ease back into my new reality in the end! The weight is NOT going back on.
But thanks again! Positive feedback means a lot to me, because I live alone, with no close family, so I don't get support from others (and my dogs don't care!)

Wow! @chublet25 - It's not only the amount of weight you've lost that astounds me (even though that too is so impressive), but the way you pound it out (no pun intended) each and every round with no set-backs. Whatever keeps you going, congratulations on your progress thus far and I would say keep it up but I think that's a foregone conclusion after what you've done the last 120 days!! Very inspiring!!

I'm just curious if anyone has had skin removal surgery on the arms. My bat wings are the most horrible part of my body. After the initial largest part of my weight loss 3 years ago, my skin has never snapped back. In fact, no improvement whatsoever. I am 61 now and my arms stay extremely active, even when the rest of my body does not! I make sure to incorporate movement for them in everything I do: when I walk, when I dance etc. I have tried arm weights (no gym in my entire county!) It's looking like I might have to spend a little hard earned cash but would like to hear anyone else's story of how they feel about their surgery if they've had it.
My only knowledge of this is a cousin who lives downstate in a big city with many medical options and lots of doctors to choose from. She was not happy with it at all. I am so tired of being limited in my clothing. Some just don't fit my arms, others just look ridiculous. And, of course, sleeveless is out of the question, even in temperatures in the 90's and no air conditioning.
Opinions? Advice? Average cost of surgery? Healing Process and length of time? Any information would be great! Please share your knowledge, even of others you've known to have this surgery. If everything else pans out in my health, this is a serious consideration of mine.
Thanks All.7 -

Day/Weight/Comment Hello folks, it's me again.:|:)
The goal is to lose 4 lbs this period.
9/19 170 - It was Sunday-Funday. No will be counted.
9/20 170 - Cals 793 Agua 34 oz Exercise - Jogged on tread. Slow and steady at 1.5. 30 minutes.
I really had to think about my calories and what I ate. I realize I mindlesseat
eat. I can mindlessly eat over 2,000 calories a day. I hope I can keep this up.
I usually mess up when the pressure is on, long days and just being tired.
9/21 169 - Cals 1410 l'eau 51 oz Exercise 30 min jog on tread.
I was doing well until I purchased a bag of Halloween candy. Well, according to MFP-
I still have 98 calories left over. As if that makes me feel any better. Oh well. I'll have to be good
tomorrow. The struggle is real.

SW: 159.2 lbs (9/19/21)
Challenge Goal: <159
UGW: 145 lbs
9/19 159.2 No afternoon snacking! Not much activity, though. Emotional day.
9/20 158.6 Heavy work day--> a lot of sitting at a desk and no significant activity. Snacking was controlled.
9/21 158.2 Super busy day - some work, some home stuff, some volunteer work. Tried to jog at the arb this morning - it made my back worse (herniated disc decades ago --> daily exercises usually keep it happy and healthy) so I opted for a short walk, which was good for my psyche if a little disappointing. Ate OK - minimal snacking again, but ate a lot at dinner. Trying not to feel overwhelmed by my todo list which is growing even as I'm knocking items off it. . . .

9/19 154.4 STEPS 11,680 SLEEP 5hr10m
4.5 mile walk yesterday morning before breakfast and then a physical day doing my brick feature wall, calories and macros all great. Steps were higher than recorded as I took my watch off for most of the day.
My bad back has got worse and I slept badly because of it. Don't think I'll be getting much done today, it's my TOTM so with the back, the cramps and the tiredness I'm gonna be taking it easy.
9/20 154.6 STEPS 1,316 SLEEP 9hr28
Painful day yesterday, I spent most of it resting and doing stretches to try and fix my back. Managed to get a bit more done on my brick wall later on thanks to painkillers. I'm against the clock as I want to get it done before OH gets back from India on Sunday. Had a hungry day too, thanks to TOTM. Managed to stay in calories but macros not ideal and I had a late dinner which is still 'in transit' so there's a slight uptick in my weight today.
9/21 153.8
My back seems to have sorted itself out and the pain has almost gone phew! Haven't been wearing my tracker so no S&S data but I slept well and was pretty active working on my project. Food has been OK, I haven't had much of an appetite recently but did manage to eat enough. Pleased the weight is still going down, I feel like I'm due another stall any moment now.
9/22 154.2
A little bounce back up today, my scale is playing up, it took many attempts to get a consistent reading. Still not much appetite but forced myself to eat a large salad in the evening to get some fibre intake. Blood test at the start of the month showed I was mildly hypothyroid, having another test in a month to see if anything has changed. This might explain the lack of appetite.
My back is much better though feeling quite stiff, I am thinking of starting a morning yoga routine. Missing my morning walks but don't have time right now.

Round 163 (95th for me) . I still need this to help keep me on track, particularly over the next weeks; the second of our holiday!
@QuiltingJaine- thank you yet again for setting up the new round.
Challenge for this round is to stay on track – we are on our main 2 weeks holiday, no flying abroad this year (due to Covid), we are in our touring caravan, so for the major part I am responsible for both choosing & providing food, so hope to come back at least the same as SW, a loss will be a bonus – any loss will be a win! But still aware we are on holiday so will be indulging in an occasional treat – note to self “an occasional treat” !! A healthy life style has to be a permanent way of life.
Covid restrictions have mostly been lifted in England – we reached “freedom day” 2 months ago, but remember there is still a pandemic: Covid is still around! Continue to wash hands, be kind, wear a mask in public indoor settings, always consider others.
SW. 133.6
Day/weight/comment
9/19. 133.6 - Just short of 6 miles walked yesterday hence167 calories over yesterday.; It was Heritage Bus day in the local holiday town so we took a vintage bus ride round the Devon countryside.
9/20. 133.6 - no structured walking yesterday, moved along the coast to Dartmouth, so with packing up, travelling, seeing up again & then doing washing (towels needed freshening up - so used the washing machine & dryers on site), the day ran out of hours!! Ended the day with 400 calories over.
9/21. 134 - 9.5 miles walked yesterday along the coastal path to Dartmouth Castle then along the river and a big climb up Jawbone Hill back to the caravan park. Good food day too 👏.
9/22. 134 - 13.84 miles walked yesterday, down to Dartmouth, across the river on the ferry and then 3 miles up the hill to National Trust property Coleston Fishacre, walked around the house and gardens followed by return journey. Food well within limits.

We're so blessed in the UK with our coastal paths, you can walk almost the entire periphery of the country on public right of way pathways and our coastline is absolutely stunning! I do most of my walking holidays a little bit further west than where you are, in east Dorset and south Devon. Pembrokeshire is brilliant too but windy!
You are right, we are very lucky, I do appreciate that and hope I can continue to enjoy the challenging coastal walks for many many years to come. It's nice to know that you are of the same opinion x7 -
deepwoodslady wrote: »I'm just curious if anyone has had skin removal surgery on the arms. My bat wings are the most horrible part of my body. After the initial largest part of my weight loss 3 years ago, my skin has never snapped back. In fact, no improvement whatsoever. I am 61 now and my arms stay extremely active, even when the rest of my body does not! I make sure to incorporate movement for them in everything I do: when I walk, when I dance etc. I have tried arm weights (no gym in my entire county!) It's looking like I might have to spend a little hard earned cash but would like to hear anyone else's story of how they feel about their surgery if they've had it.
My only knowledge of this is a cousin who lives downstate in a big city with many medical options and lots of doctors to choose from. She was not happy with it at all. I am so tired of being limited in my clothing. Some just don't fit my arms, others just look ridiculous. And, of course, sleeveless is out of the question, even in temperatures in the 90's and no air conditioning.
Opinions? Advice? Average cost of surgery? Healing Process and length of time? Any information would be great! Please share your knowledge, even of others you've known to have this surgery. If everything else pans out in my health, this is a serious consideration of mine.
Thanks All.
I know where you're coming from, my skin has never bounced back either, I have lots of loose skin on arms, stomach, upper thighs and boobs are like empty sacks !! Still, surgery is not an option for me I've got an anaesthetic phobia so would never contemplate voluntary surgery. Hope you get the info you require to help you decide xx.6 -
Last round finished on a status quo, seeing that it was the birthday weekend I was quite happy with that. I still have to change my scales from KG to lbs, seeing the pounds drop is more encouraging!
I've started a ketotarian diet, I'll see how it goes, as I'm in peri-menopause I'm stacking weight around the tummy at an alarming rate, so good bye bread and pasta.
Start weight: 164.8lbs
1st goal weight : 156lbs
2nd goal weight : 150lbs
Final goal weight : 145lbs

19/9 164.8
20/9 164.4 (-0.4lbs)
21/9 163.9 (-0.5lbs) Rough day yesterday, my dad was diagnosed with stomach cancer, I stayed off the carbs but I'm not logging food for the moment although I'm weighting every day. Lack of sleep is also affecting me. On a brighter note we had a great weekend and also went to see Dune in 3D, it was so nice to do something as normal as going to the movies (even with masks) for the 1st time in 18 months, it made it even more special. This week I'll try to stay off the carb and try to adapt to a keto diet, I think that's enough of a goal for the moment.
22/9 164.0 lbs (+0.1) yesterday was a reasonable day. I was very tired so of course I ended up being very hungry and ate more than I should but I avoided carbs. I was in bed at 7.30pm lol Feeling better today, one day at a time.
