Had such a good streak with my steps, but Monday I lost track in the haze of the day and realized too late in the evening i wasn't at target. I'll have to make up for it throughout the week.
@jessicakrall8 - Congrats to you, on the Moderator role. Don't mind sharing your awesomeness, but don't leave us (haha) 😊1 -

Weekend of Birthdays and Birthday parties, and sick kids. I did workout Friday but thats all I was able to squeeze in. Diet sucked because well, Birthdays, and surprise, Today is my Birthday. My house has 4 birthdays in 3 1/2 weeks, and 3 of them in a week, mine is the last one, thank goodness. I was able to get up and workout this morning, and packed a good lunch. Im thinking about going to dinner tonight but not sure if I want to or just want to stay home, Im kinda over eating out and doing things, ha
Happy Birthday. Alot of people are saying that birthday cake has zero calories. I for one believe them.
unfortunatly the scale disagrees, hahaha. The pizza is whats really packing on the calories though1 -

No workout this morning, I got up at 4am and the wind was so strong, like crazy strong, so I went back to bed, haha. I am making sure to get my steps in though to compensate.
My birthday was good, My oldest son just stared his first job a couple months ago and he bought my a coffee mug with his own money so that was super sweet. I had to go to my great aunts funeral, so that wasnt exactly my birthday event of choice, but I have weirdly bad luck on my birthday, so it wasnt much of a suprise. But me, my husband and 2 of our kids went to dinner, then I tricked my husband into going and buying a new christmas tree with me, haha, but ours has a broken branch, and is too wide for out new house, and on my birthday my husband is forced to be a good sport, hahahaha. My husbands aunt called and told me she is going to pay for our trip to Oregon this year to visit his family. That is amazing because I made an agreement with my husband that if we stay in Montana, that we will travel to visit his family every year, and we have, usually we all meet in Idaho, but every few years we go to Oregon where most of his family is, and because of this trip, we usually cant afford to travel anywhere else, so with them covering this trip, we may be able to make another trip somewhere else this year.
Today is back on the healthy eating train. No more birthdays and the holidays are enough apart that they arent going to derail me much. Now time to get the scale moving down.1 -
Surprised by the changes🤪 I'm back from vacation. My attitude is a bit better but I'll still be planning to change my environment for my own sanity.1

Really long and busy day for me today...just finished with my work day, drove home, taught piano, heated up leftovers and now I'm going to eat dinner and relax a bit...maybe watch one of the Christmas moves I'm loading up on the DVR from Hallmark, Hallmark Movies/Mysteries, Lifetime and GAC Family...I just love holiday movies!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday tomorrow! Thanks for all the kind words concerning my MODS status...I'm looking forward to another opportunity to learn new things and be helpful. I'm not going anywhere...I love being Captain of this team!! You guys are so amazing and help ME stay on track!! Why would I leave?!!
Talk to you tomorrow! Take care!

Ramblings of the day
Good morning team. Still struggle with food, but it was a bit better on Tuesday. It doesn't help that nothing appeals to me either, it all tastes bleh. I have to increase my dose on Saturday to double what I am on now. A little bit worried it's going to start the side-effects all over again and worse. But no use worrying about that now, will see when I get there. I finished my jigsaw puzzle so I will share a picture later when it is light outside.
Happy Wednesday everyone
@izzyred9400
Thank you, I hope it will improve soon as well. I don't really have any advice when it comes to socializing because I don't have a social life. I also don't drink, never have. I very rarely go out for dinner with my mom. It's easy to just enjoy those moments and not worry about food because it doesn't occur often. I don't know how I would manage with a regular thing like that either; it sounds hard. I hope you can figure out a way that works for you. 1 -
Here is my finished puzzle. Some bits were a little hard, but I really enjoyed making this one. I think the image is really pretty too. It's 1000 pieces.

Hey Everyone,
Been an awful couple of weeks, but I’m back.
Wow - what on earth happened to the discussion boards? I have no idea if I’m posting to our November discussion thread or not 😂. My plan is to ease back in to things a bit. Things with my mom went downhill quite quickly. She’s across the country from me. Things have returned somewhat to normal (as normal as dementia can be), but I’m still trying to get my footing.
@jessicakrall8 please keep me on support for the next week or so, my hope is to be back in the game fully by the time the new December discussion begins. In the meantime I obviously have a ton to catch up on 😳. Any tips on how to wade through this new format?3 -

My weight for last week was 224 with a gain of 3lbs. 😭 This will be my final weigh in, I don't want to drag the team down since I'm steadily gaining. But I do want to try to be there more to cheer everyone on.
@ewilhelm2487 , I'm late seeing this, but I just wanted you to know I think I know how you feel. I was trying to lose weight before I had my second child and then life got crazy! You are doing a tough, important job right now! I wish I had been able to appreciate that more when I was going through having small children. All the craziness will pass. Please be good and kind to yourself in any way you can right now. Hugs.
Thank you so so much!! I have been so hard on myself for gaining, even though I know it's normal lol. My youngest I only gained 18lbs the whole pregnancy and so far I've already gained 10. 😑 I have maintained these last two weeks so I'm hoping it'll stay this way a little longer.0 -

I already know to cut out bacon, sausage and processed meats. I also know that weight loss and increased activity are two good actions to take...will be continuing both of those...hoping to avoid yet another prescription if I can. I see my doctor to discuss the results on Thursday.
Thanks in advance...

So I had borderline cholesterol years ago and was given 2 months to lower it or go on meds. I couldn't lower it that quick so I was put on Statins and it kept my numbers on check. When I got pregnant with my son I was so worried that my cholesterol would shoot up again but didn't. I stayed off them for over a year and had great levels. I ate a low fat, low cholesterol diet for a year. Limited all red meat (which was so hard), no high sodium foods and limited sugar. I don't recommend doing it all at once because then it leaves you with nothing to eat🤣 I lived off a vegetarian diet with chicken and that was it. Eventually I found Intermittent fasting and I started eating normal foods again but kept watching my fat and cholesterol and my last check up my numbers were perfect.
Keep your head up and just be mindful of the things you eat.1 -

Got called into work last night and it was a shift that offered incentives that added up to basically doubling my base pay, so I took it and was up late. no workout this morning, but trying to keep my steps up.
I had my body analysis done today, I missed last month and it was kind of a slap in the face. From this time last year, I am up 9.4lbs, up 11.8lbs in fat, and up 24.4cm2 of visceral fat, anything under 100 they say is good, but Im at 98.4 now and that freaked me out. Visceral fat is the fat around your organs and that freaked me out a bit, so now Ive got somewhere to "start" from1 -
@Waifer003 Deep breaths...we're all struggling through the format changes...I do like the size of the font, but that's about it...like with anything, change is hard...but you'll get it. And yes, you're in the right chatroom...LOL
@ewilhelm2487 Thank you so much for the advice. My doctor told me not to worry but keep up everything that I'm doing...she loved my increased activity, my loss of 25% of my weight and the rest of my numbers looked great...she put me on a new minor dose of a thyroid med to work on my T4s...my T3s looked great and have been stable for many years. I'm upping my fruits and veggies and limiting red meat, bacon and sausage...still going to eat my turkey sandwiches, but also eating more tuna and pimento cheese, so less deli meat for sure. My energy levels on day two of the new med is already increasing...she told me this medicine will help accelerate my weight loss. I'm all for that! Appreciate your advice!
@angmarie28 Nice loss this week!! You'll get things back on an even keel with your body ...I have faith in you!
Rough day today...and tomorrow is usually a work at home day for me, but this week, I have to go into the office...so home working on Friday...should make for a nice, relaxing lead into the weekend! Talk to you guys more tomorrow! I'm going to lie down!

Ramblings of the day
Good morning team. Nothing special to report. Made it to the gym which mostly went fine, a little dizzy. The rest of the day was okay too. It seems the naussea starts every day around 16:00. It hasn't really gotten less yet. Sleep was not great. Woke up in the middle of the night and had a hard time falling asleep again. Still barely any REM and deep sleep. Going to pick up my new dose today.
Happy Thursday everyone 1 -

Hi
Just checking in. My week has been busy, it was my oldests birthday yesterday. Still putting my house back together and cleaning from our Reno. The Reno is still not done, and they are giving us a hard time about finishing it. It was supposed to be done in late July early August.
I’ve put a picture of my daughters cake, I worked hard on it and it turned out well.

@Ssssseika I need your steps from Nov 4th to current please...we're getting way behind, but it was probably due to all the system changes...catch me up when you can and thanks! It's getting a little easier to use now...I do like the larger fonts.
