Hi there. Ok, I've left myself down. I started out here about 10 years ago and I lost almost 50 pounds, just tracked my food, reduced calories and started running. Found the weight came off rather easily. However, life changed, divorce, 2 moves (one cross country back home to WI), retirement from my job and now I'm a full time student & working part time, and I'm only 3 pounds back from my starting weight! I can say "oh, stress, oh, hormones, oh arthritis, oh this, oh that", but I'm the one shoveling the ssssss-"shaving cream" into my mouth. I'm responsible for eating bad things and regaining the weight. I need to snap outta it!

I do have plans to get back into a healthier life style, but nothing too organized right at the moment, as I will be going to Florida in a few weeks for a week to visit family, and have plans to eat, drink and be merry! (Mum is a fabulous cook!)

With that being said.... Tomorrow is Dec 1st.
I'll make a mini goal for Dec 1 - 10: Take 5 walks, track all of my food, & stay as close to or as under as I can for calories.
And for stats: My name is Helen, I will be 53 on Dec 15 (yikes!), I'm 5' 4 1/2" and I weighed in Monday morning at 224.8.

We are here for you Helen! 🥰

Of course, the evening of Nov 30, one of my headaches started. I suffer from clinical migraines, and, unfortunately, even with all my medication, they last for several days. Even today, I'm struggling with tiredness and head pain, but I had to come to class this morning and I'm sticking it out at my work. (knees also acting up..hmmm, is there a front somewhere planning to come through? Snow maybe?)

Was not able to go on my walk yesterday like I planned, but I DID manage to log my poor food choices, and I was still 393 cals under. Didn't wear my Garmin watch as I figured it wasn't worth it, let it charge. Logging today, trying to keep with my goal!

So sorry about you painful migraine! I hope sleeping helped. 🤗

December 7…207.8… getting my good habits back together… feeling more in control… my next challenge is to break the 207 barrier. My stretch goal by New Years Eve is 200 pounds… but I’ll be happy to see 205. Gonna push through this. Making veggie taco soup for dinner tonight. Meal planning and drinking lots of water helps so much! Happy Tuesday! 😁

December 3—208.1 pounds… there it goes up…Popeyes chicken sandwich, mashed potatoes, and Mac and cheese last night for dinner. I know better than to eat that much at night. Feeling stuffed this morning and needing to drink a gallon of water to quench my thirst. Logged it…Acknowledged it… and moving forward. Making a big salad for lunch! 🥗 Happy Day 3!
