I started struggling in my mid 20s. I got a g/f and a car so I got lazy. My first "diet" was about 29 when I went into treatment to try to stay in the military.1 -
Good morning everyone. I survived another hated Monday.
Check in for 6/13:
Calories 2151 or close. I thought I ate more calories but I can't see what I missed.
I got that dam tube out. Woohoo. I still have a lot of edema. My lower legs are my 500 pound leg size. I have a lot of work to do to get them down. Dr said a week before walking or gym. I think it's been a week, right? Maybe a slow stroll of a couple miles to work the scars a bit.
I weighed myself for my first accurate weight since may 6th. 232.8. I only gained 10 lbs. With my highly intake of food and protein, no exercise and swelling I figured it would be higher by far. I still want to be on the sidelines for my weight until I can start my exercise and slow my eating.2 -

Hi everyone, I am camping in Florida so I have no access to a scale this week. The last 6 days have been a grueling test of fortitude. Well the first 3 days when the 20 to 30 somethings were here. Since then we have been doing things at our pace. The springs have been gorgeous and the underwater caverns were beautiful. However being so mentally stressed I didn't take them in fully. I don't like being pushed to my freak out point by an over zealous dive buddy. Not my hubby but a military friend of his. Hubby was getting his cavern cert so I was diving with this other guy. Yep never ever again. I am just glad we had more days here after they left to play and make up for the first few days. I called my trainer in Charleston to talk me down and get me back in the game.5

Good evening everyone. I hope you all are doing well.
@tahm42 sweet Vaca. Sorry about that dive partner. Great thinking about calling your trainer.
Check in for 6/14:
Calories - 1850??? Don't know where I am going wrong. Maybe not counting the serving size right? To full to eat more. Thinking of hitting sea world tomorrow. Will walk slowly and sit down a lot. We will decide after breakfast and the grocery store. No rollercoasters if I go.2 -

Happy Wednesday, Downsizers! I'm here for a quick check-in - so sorry that I have been MIA - between my mother's illness and the crazy stock market, I haven't been able to come up for air.

I am thankful that I have been able to stick to my eating program - unfortunately, my exercise has really gotten off track. I'm hoping to get back on program quickly.
I hope you are all doing well!

@tahm42
Enjoy the rest of your vacation. That’s too bad your dive partner was stressful. You must be adding lots of miles to your 2022 goal. It’s almost 6 months down, you should give us an update.
@aactuallyaash
I wouldn’t consider it a gain. We can weigh 5 pounds difference between morning and night.
@JaysFan82
Nice loss! You are on your way to a green month.
@peng123
No worries. Life keeps us busy. How is your Mom doing? You can worry about an exercise routine when things slow down.
@rwood566
You should be very proud. You will be back to your long walks before you know it.

Steps
Tuesday: 6,351
Wednesday: 4,938
Exercise: lots of walking
My steps are definitely lower than what I walked. I don’t think the Apple Watch would work in my pocket as you have to unlock it with a passcode every time you put it on. I am nervous about weigh in tomorrow as I have been eating a bit more this week than last. I am having dinner with friends tonight putting 6 of my last 7 meals in a restaurant. Even with eating less than I normally would, it’s the sodium in restaurant food that kills.
Pool time soon! 🏊♂️4 -
