I had gallbladder surgery Friday which was my weigh In day and I’ve been down ever since. I don’t know if too late since Friday was my weigh in day. But here’s my info. Can you please let me know if I’ve messed up and got it in to late. Thank you

Definitely not too late to weigh in, just too late to be included in last week's results! Thanks for the update, I appreciate it.

How are you feeling after surgery?

Steps last week:
Sun: 19,774
Mon: 22,699
Tues: 11,835
Wed: 10,021
Thurs: 10,010
Fri: 15,034
Sat: 15,070
Total:104,443! Pleased with that!

The first two days trekking round the temples of angkor got my numbers right up! Then a couple of pool days 😀

The best advice I've been given, and that I really have to get back to, is that weight loss is 70% what you eat, 30% max how much you move. I'm terrible for eating loads more having done a small bit of exercise and using it to justify more food, such as all the walking last week that meant I ate and drank whatever I wanted, thus the scales were up by several llbs this week!

~ Steps Challenge ~

I'm always impressed by our great group of steppers. Thanks for coming in, week after week, and proving that you're capable of working towards your goals every single day. We appreciate you showing us how it's done, and hope you know all of us are cheering you on!

I find this challenge extremely motivating. I would be below 10K most of the days without it. I am grateful for having it here and being able to participate!

I don't know how many of you regularly participate in the overall group challenges, but this is such a good one. Noting where we came from, what we wanted, and where we progressed, can be extremely helpful in our health journeys.

Personally, I don't recognize my own progress without looking at older pictures or hearing someone else remark on something I used to do. It's not a simple matter of memory, it requires something more, but this challenge is still an excellent way to check in with yourself.

You can find it HERE.

I think I should move to the cheer squad for the next six weeks at least I will try to check in here most days to keep up with everybody's progress

I'll take care of that for you. We can check in before April's challenge begins and see how you're feeling about the weight loss team.

Please keep us posted on how it goes! We care about you and are here to support you whenever you need us.

I always lose and then gain. But it is tom week so I am hoping that's what it is. I did see my dr at the weight clinic and she gave some pointers, told me not to stress, gave me a prescription. Not sure if I will take it. She said it's just to slow down cravings and can be stopped any time.

I am surprised by this "loss" and expecting a correction next week since it is way out of my pattern over several past months, which is on average half a pound a week. Although I admit, I've been trying hard to stay close to my calorie limit before adjustment for exercise/steps. I haven't been able to stay within but not as much above as even a month ago. But it's HARD. I've been also trying not to eat in the evening, after 5 or so. I tend to overeat in the evenings, just can't stop. So, several hungry evenings but that might have resulted in the number I got this morning. Notice that even skipping eating in the evening I still was above my calorie limit?

The best medical advice ever I received from my son's doctor on the first office visit after my son was born. He was just 4 days old and I was sleep deprived for 5 nights (on top of pregnancy sleep deprivation). The doctor told me:
You have to take care of yourself in the first place because you won't be able to take care of your baby or anybody/anything else otherwise.

It took me a while to believe him and start following his advise.

I'm estimating a tiny bit as I drank ~ a liter of water before I weighed (was really thirsty). Probably the best medical advice I've been given was to not skip meds...and they're right as a week and a half ago I got lazy about irrigating my sinuses for a couple days and last weekend was a misery as a result. I can't think of any weight loss advice a doctor has given me...they just say I should.

I've been a bit of a trash panda this weekend. Sigh. I'm playing with the idea that sometimes when I think I'm hungry I'm really just tired and need a nap. This, of course, does not help at work.

Meant to be Friday! This week got away from me. But I did weigh on Friday

CW 225.3!!!!!

Ridiculous. That's all the holiday bloating disappearing off. Am presuming this week I might go back up a little. I haven't moved much either (will be disappearing off that leaderboard for steps for sure!!)

My steps were:
Sun: 5568 (in isolation waiting for a covid test result after travelling)
Mon: 8477 (just lazy)
Tue: 9614 (so lazy)
Wed: 10,072 (made myself walk for half an hour after dinner to get there)
Thurs: 9578 (lazy and a bit drunk, couldn't manage another 400!)
Fri: 10,488 (better)
Sat: 13,807 (lazy day but ran in the evening. Felt soooo much better!)
Total: 67,604

Disappointing, but glad I got near 10,000 average despite so many lazy days. From today I'm setting my watch to a target of 12,000 to try and up my average a bit, and will be logging my food far more regularly. I'm not good at logging everything! But I really like the 'you can't outrun your fork' comment, so that's my new mantra! And less alcohol. This week I've had a drink or two three times, that's too much for me. So one lot of alcohol per week is the plan for the rest of the month.
