    My cough from covid is getting better but I still haven't exercised. I hope to start walking slowly on my treadmill this weekend.

    Since I work the weekend. I am posting my weight because I will forget.

    PW 225 lbs
    CW 224.6 lbs
    Not much loss but not gaining either.

    Also with two jobs and school and 120 hours of clinical to do in June and July, I am thinking of sitting out the next one. Unless you guys don’t mind that I barely post here. I’m just so busy, it’s not fair that I don’t read anyone else’s post. I have to go back and read. It’s hard. I’m sorry for being absent in this group. I want to be more active. But I don’t even have time to log my meals sometimes. Hence is why weight is coming off slowly. But I still want to be the challenge.

    I’m so sorry I fell off the wagon this week. Tuesday marked 15 years since my mother passed away and Wednesday was our 37th wedding anniversary. My husband had a life-threatening event last August and the Lord spared him and we’re just so grateful we could celebrate another year together. So LOTS of feelings and lots of emotional eating. I weigh in tomorrow and pray I’m still under 200 😭

    @melissan84 so glad you're still with us! We would love it if you stayed. We understand that you are busy, too busy for me! 🥺😂 All you need to do to stay in the group is post your weigh in weekly. Having said that, I totally understand if you want to remove this one thing from your to-do list until life slows down a bit I wouldn't want this to add any stress. This place is supposed to be fun. 😁 Although truth be told since membership has dropped it's a bit less fun than it used to be. 😞 I'm hoping it's a seasonal thing. 🤷‍♀️

    Anyway...I digress. 😂 Glad you are doing well. 🥰

    I had a big water induced spike up on the scale last week.. This week has been better. I was in my first Fitbit challenge with my little brother (he is 16 and very motivated) Note: competing with a high school student who likes to work out after school will result in you constantly eating dust!! I’m still here btw…Just been hyper-focused on work and trying to learn my new job while also trying to stick to a healthier eating plan(And using my spare minutes to camp out on my treadmill it seems!)

    Reading everyone’s posts here really encourages me to try every day. I feel like I’ve fixed the damage I’ve done in week 2. At least the scale has been reflecting a 4lb dip for the last two days, so I’m hopeful! It seems everything is riding on the choices I make today. We’ll have to see how it goes…I have dinner plans at my dads house and it’ll depend on what he makes and if there’s dessert! (Please don’t be pie-Please don’t be pie!)

    Definitely not the right direction but also know i had pasta 2 nights ago and yesterday was 203.. pasta hits me hard on the scale and then falls off after a couple days. If not for the mostly daily weighing I wouldnt know that at all and freak out over a 3 or 4 lb jump. Not sure if I mentioned my leg issues but carrying a bit of water there for about a month so hoping i can get that worked out rested and able to exercise and get the water carbs and other weight back off.

    @sandkp Pasta does that to everyone. :/ I don't remember you mentioning a problem with your leg but I suffer from CRS so who knows. :D I blame it (and everything else) on getting older. ;) Hope it resolves soon.

    @DaffyGirl88
    I probably didn't mention it lately. I had knee surgery in Aug 2020 which took a very long time to get better and tons of PT and in Aug 2021 badly strained my calf and it wasnt right until dec 2021/ jan 2022 when I was able to really try step aerobics and jump started my downtrack of weightloss. Jump into busy season at work where I just stayed afloat and now that I am trying to get back into the more intense exercise, I feel the calf tight and unforgiving. I am trying to walk that fine line to not actually strain it again but get into a routine. It is slow.. even just stretching and riding stationary bike caused water... so being patient and knowing it will work out eventually. I do NOT want to cancel a second vacation because I can't walk! But am making myself okay with letting the fam do the major hike with me checking out the local markets at the moment. Mountain hiking would probably not be a good choice right now.

    I've been away at ball for the past 2 days with my daughter. So yesterday I had lots of sitting and watching with tons of snacks and 6 hrs in the car. I don't think I did too bad yesterday until the way home we stopped at McDonald's. I got kids burger and milk shake. I just entered the calories for the milkshake. . . 600 calories!!! That was a surprise!!

    Glad to be home and get back to normal, for a few days anyway. Friday we head out again for a longer trip this time. Two days of 10 hours in the car with two days of eating crap in between. 😕

    My loss was huge and I really don’t think I did that great compared to other weeks where I’ve stuck to plan. .. this has everything to do with the fact that I had such a huge spike on the scale last week in combination with changing up my exercise routine by adding more steps.

    Switched my gym membership to the YMCA yesterday. The price is crazy high but my daughter also wants to start using the pool to get ready to join the swim team her Senior year…
    I just needed a good excuse honestly because I really miss group classes.
