Thanks so much Linda, it's great to be back! I am just getting some things done and then I must get ready for work. Still need to make supper and do some cleaning.
The community layout has definitely changed since I was last here eh? A little confusing but I will get there!
I'll do an intro post in the new group when it's open
So excited to be back on the horse, so to speak. I might not be making my Christmas goal of 220 hahaha but I'd love to get back under 300 by then.... just gotta keep moving and eating the right things
Happy friday all!4 -

The weekend is here finally! Do you foresee any challenges this weekend? What can you do to minimize the challenge? Please share!
@lindamtuck2018 I'm always excited for the weekends! In April, when faced with the fact that I needed to lose 100+ pounds, I vowed that this time I would be successful for life. That meant that I had to stop eating restaurant/take-out food 3x per day. So now I do my shopping first thing on Saturdays and I use the weekend to prep all of my healthy meals. It was quite a challenge in the beginning but now it is part of my routine. So this weekend, I will prep my meals and I will make sure to get my exercise done each day.3 -

Hello everyone, Sorry I missed checking in yesterday, I had cataract surgery on my left eye, so I took the rest of the day off and just rested because I had a headache and couldn't see tablet screen.
Today, saw my regular eye Dr, After checking my eye for reading glass, Dr said to go to dollar store and buy a cheap pair of glasses, until all the swelling goes down. Because I may or may not need reading glasses after all the swelling goes down. He said to wait and see, instead of spending a lot of money on a pair I'll probably only need for a short time. The cheap eyeglasses help me to be able to see the tablet screen. So Happy that I can see more clearly of things around me, instead of all blurry and foggy. Hopefully, I may not have to wear glasses anymore except to reading glasses. 😅😄
Starting 12/20/21, I'll be starting water physical therapy, don't know at this time how often per week I'll be going, until the first visit. Have some problems with mobility that is why I'm starting water physical therapy. My primary Dr says it will help me more, than using regular physical therapy. ( Which I have already tried and it didn't help much).
Things are starting to become more clearer and better then before. Lol 😄2 -

@lindamtuck2018 This is the web address to the homepage Eat more 2 weigh less. https://eatmore2weighless.com
You buy access to her app on an annual basis. She is a very good weight trainer. I have a trainer but her life has been up down. so she isn't available all of the time so I bought access to Kiki's app so I would not be lost at the gym as to what I should be doing. A real confidence boost for me in just this week of having it.5 -

Sounds like you have developed a great weekend plan. Stopping takeout is a great accomplishment.

I am excited! You still have decent calories even with the snacking. I hope your back improves drastically by Sunday. Have you tried some back stretches.@lindamtuck2018

Daily Check-In
Happy Saturday Downsizers! I'm getting ready to head out to the grocery store to do my shopping for the week. I had a great day yesterday - here's my info:
Exercise: 56 minutes elliptical
Steps: 14,458
Calories: 1,196
I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!1 -
Steps ✅
Close Rings ✅
The pool is closing on Monday for maintenance. Not sure how long it will be closed. During that time I won’t be able to reach my converted step goal as it is based on swimming and pool workouts. I did try doing weights for about 10 minutes yesterday along with the treadmill. My back pain was so bad last night as a result and I couldn’t sleep. I do get my second back injection on Thursday so I am praying that it works. I am having neck pain now and my face goes numb which I am sure is related to the nerve issues in my back. There is so much riding on the injection including my trip to Scotland. Yes, I am whinny and cranky today! 😂 I am off to the pool (have to take advantage the next 2 days) and then grocery shopping. My 9 year old granddaughter is coming for the night so she will keep me busy the rest of the day. Sorry for the long post.
Have a super Saturday!

I am worried about my husky Aspen... She whined in her kennel most of the night(I was up at 2am with her all the way until 6am .... she hasn't been eating and she is struggling with going to the bathroom ....I will be calling my vet at 8am to see if we can bring her in.. I am thinking the bladder stones might be stuck ..2

@lindamtuck2018 sorry about the pool maintenance. I hope it doesn't last long. Good luck with the shot. I do stretching, back and body aspirin, heating pad, cream and mobility for the back. It is getting better but not sure if it will be good enough. 2 hour trip each way.
@Bluetail6 nice weigh in.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I hope Aspen is ok - please keep us updated.1 -
@lindamtuck2018, I used to love swimming and I'm sure that I will enjoy water exercising also. Have to go to a bigger town where there is a physical therapy pool that you're able to walk into.2
