Weigh in day: FRIDAY
PW: 241.8
CW: 240.6. -1.2 LB
It is a loss, but I gained 1.8 lb yesterday. Water weight probably. I went a bit heavy on the rub for the ribs. It will come out again.4 -
Happy Friday, Downsizers!
I apologize for not checking in - my dad ended up in the hospital but he's doing fine. I continued to stay at my calorie limit. I hope you all have a wonderful day!
@Megan_smartiepants1970 My steps are:

@lindamtuck2018,
I think there's a few of us who have this problem, too much fluid retention for one reason or another.
I had this problem last week and gained some weight from it. However, the last few days the water has come off and I'm now heading in the right direction.
I agree with @Megan_smartiepants1970, drink plenty of water, and rest.
It may take a little while for the fluid to leave your body, eventually it will and everything will be okay.
@Megan_smartiepants1970, Wishing you the best on your test and that your foot is not to bad. You should also take it easy and rest.2 -

Sorry! It’s a big jump. My weight spiked from yesterday but I used soya sauce on my rice last night. This week going forward I need to watch my sodium, pre log all my meals, rethink my evening snack and try to get some form of exercise. Also, I am wondering if some of the weight could be caused by inflammation due to the groin/thigh injury. What do you guys think?
It’s another day of rest for me. What are your guys plans for the day/weekend?
Happy FriYAY!
You don't need to apologize about your weight ... there will always be ups and downs ... Yes your weight could be caused of inflammation ...drink lots of water ... rest and I bet you will lose some next week ...I have a lot of meal prepping and cleaning to do this weekend ...I am taking today off from walking ...I had my x-rays done yesterday on my hips/pelvis area I see my GP on the 1st ... I see my podiatrist on the 27th to get the x-ray results on my foot ... I hope my foot is nothing serious but my luck it just might be
I need to pick up my water intake as I have been drinking way too much coffee. I hope your foot is ok. Is the walking aggravating it? I have to get my blood work done today for my family doctor and my rheumatologist. I think my A1C is on its way up. I will refuse to go back on insulin.
Awesome loss!2 -

Nice loss! Sodium got me too. I usually try not to plan any meal that’s high in sodium on Thursday. I wasn’t thinking last week when meal planning.Happy Friday, Downsizers!

It weird that so many things can cause water retention. Sodium is a guarantee for me. Glad the water weight has gone. How are your eyes doing?2 -
I made a vision board today. It’s contains my why, my plans to travel, my hope to get back to walking, my commitment to get stronger through swimming and my plan to learn a new hobby.

I know my Dr is not a fan of keto but I love the energy and my a1c #'s when I am on keto so I am going to get serious and start in February ...I have one of the huge water bottles from Amazon that has saying on it like good morning ... you are almost there etc ...3 -

@lindamtuck2018,.
I've had cataract surgery on both my eyes, and the right eye was the worst. My left eye is fine (done back on 12/02/21) there's no problem everything is good;
however, I'm still having problems with my right eye. (done on 01/06/22) It feels a little swollen and there's a still a little bit of pain, it's been two weeks since my right eye surgery, hopefully it would heal soon. The cataract was worse in my right eye then in my left eye. I think because I'm also diabetic it's taking longer to completely heal.2 -

Strength training moderate effort 35 minutes
Stationary bike 20 minutes 1.8 miles
Am really dragging today. Didn’t sleep last night. Usually take a break from strength training today but want to shift my schedule so can take the busy days off at the rec center.
My brother-in-law was admitted to the hospital and had emergency surgery to remove blood clots around his lungs. The dr. thinks they were caused by Covid and says that he has extensive clots. Not sure when he will get home or how long the recovery will be.6 -

Ya, I've lost the holiday weight plus some! I'm now 82.7kg which is a big milestone for me because previously I've always gotten stuck on 85kgs and not made it any further so here's hoping I can keep going towards my goal of 70kg.7 -

Usually, I am good on water but my energy is not the greatest because of my sleep so I have been hitting the coffee hard in the morning. Why does your doctor not like keto?Beautyofdreams wrote: »@Megan_smartiepants1970

That is smart avoiding the busy days at the gym given the Covid situation. Prayers and healing vibes for your brother in law. Is he Covid positive now or was it a previous infection? People don’t realize that some have effects from Covid long after the infection.Pippin20206 wrote: »Weigh in

Fantastic loss! You can get past that number. I have heard several people on the team say they get stuck at a certain point. Mine is 199. I think we have to not think of the number and just focus on the progress to get past it. And from your time in the group, I know you are focused. Sorry the booster is giving you a hard time.aknroberts wrote: »aknroberts

That’s a great idea cleaning out the pantry.mari_moulin wrote: »Happy Saturday team. I’m here with my weigh-in.

I am going to go grocery shopping. Hopefully, it doesn’t set back healing my groin/thigh. Grandkids are coming later so we will be playing board and video games. Grandma is going to win! 🏆6 -
