    Congrats @888Angie888 , @red1185, @Aqualang26 on your weight loss and steps.
    So sorry for your loss @rlaskey2. The loss of a pet is like losing a close friend.

    Have had episodes of binge eating and impulse spending over the last 3 weeks. Not physically hungry yet can't say that it is boredom, sor mindless eating. Am very restless lately and a bit anxious but not certain why. Am feeling like I am starting a new chapter in my life and not certain what will happen.

    I am going to take this as a win!! I'm able to see the community. Everything was fine login-wise a couple of days ago, then not🙄. I could see some things, just not everything. So for this last week I'm going to post my intensity minutes. I get this total from my Garmin for my workout week.😊

    Check-In:
    November 8 thru 14 Intensity Minutes:
    Moderate: 721
    Vigorous: 134
    Total for the Week: 855

    Calories 1044
    Steps 5225

    I actually discovered half way through the day that my step counter had run out of charge so I lost a few steps. Partner and I did another 15 mins of zumba together tonight, or as I like to call it, synchronised arm flailing 🤣 we are going to try to do it 3 times a week.

    Awesome steps for the week!

    @MariEverAfter
    Fantastic loss! I will update your weight on the spreadsheet.

    @shortyjmorgan1
    It must be frustrating not being able to get in. If you go to your mobile browser and put mfp.com you should be able to log in that way.

    @Beautyofdreams
    Binge eating can be a result of stress or anxiety. When I am going through a period of anxiety or stress I struggle with my binge eating. Do you have anything you do or use for coping skills during these times? I use deep breathing a lot when have anxiety.

    @rwood566
    Is diamond dots the same as 5d diamond painting? I love doing the diamond painting. I had trouble finding frames for mine so I was silly and threw the out when moving. A friend told me where she gets frames so I may start again.

    @Bluetail6
    Awesome intensity minutes!

    This is my first official kick in the Teeth. A birthday party, and some bad decisions, has literally ballooned me over night. On top of the never ending pain issues I'm at a pretty low point in my journey at the moment.

    I"m going to have to pull up my socks and just try and focus on one day at a time this week.

    Ugh!

    Steps ✅
    Calories ❌
    Close Rings ✅

    Two days in a row over calories. Didn’t affect the scales but I am not going to kid myself that I can continue being over calories and not see changes in my weight. The good news about yesterday is I earned my perfect week badges for movement, exercise and stand minutes. I am so proud of myself.

    My watch is not picking up my heart rate the entire time I am exercising. There are big gaps in the pool exercise heart rate graph and I can’t get one from swimming because there is not enough data points. I am trying to find a solution to this. I did have the same issue with my Fitbit on occasion. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Happy Sunday!

    That is too funny! Synchronized arm flailing! 😂 Great job with the exercise. You guys will have to change the saying to a couple who exercises together stays together.

    Try to take it one minute at a time. I know it is harder for you as you work but try when the pain gets really bad to rest or find a position that gives you some relief. Do you have the option of working from home? Have you asked the doctor for an mri? I had to wait a few months for mine and the wait to see the specialist. Remember, this weight loss journey is definitely not a straight line. There will be bad decisions, days and sometimes weeks. I think chronic pain makes all aspects of life difficult including weight loss. The one thing I have learned after dealing with pain that slowly got worse over the last 2 years is I have to adjust my life to manage th3 pain. That meant everything from changing the way I exercise to accepting that I can’t do as much as I used to. Jonathan, I really feel for you. Dealing with pain is a journey in itself that we have to learn to navigate. Hang in there.
