I finished setting everything up and my aunt moved in to a beautiful assisted living apartment yesterday. It was a long and exhausting trip for her and she didn’t take her medicine properly so she was a mess when she arrived. I spent about 6 hours (until 10 at night) getting her settled in and then tucked in. I am worried that after all of this they won’t be able to provide enough care for her in assisted living in the end anyway and we will have to hire further home health care services on top of it, or move her to a nursing home. I am also caring for two even older parents - one with stage 4 lung cancer, the other with lots of mobility, hearing and memory/senility issues. And a full time job. I am barely functional but it could be worse. I am really praying she feels stronger today and starts complaining about things!

Went over calorie/macro goals both days again last weekend and missed 1 day of exercise due to an injury but I did pretty well the rest of the week. Overall I'm pleased that I was still able to lose something. Hoping to do a little better over the holiday weekend.
Have a great Labor Day and a wonderful week!

This week, I walked a lot. It was mostly at work moving boxes and our new building is so big, I got a lot of steps just walking around.
Monday: 11,833
Tuesday: 9,210
Wed.: 9,768
Thursday: 15,236
Friday: 9,557
Saturday: 13,023
I also recorded my diet for four days on MFP. I seem to be on target with my calories.
I didn't lose any weight this week. But I feel better since I was moving a lot.
Goals for this week:
Stretch every day in the morning
watch a motivational video each day
no alcohol
use breathing techniques when stressed
record food on MFP8 -
Well my aunt fell and dislocated her knee and broke her hip. She had one procedure last night to put the knee back in place, and is in ICU . She is having a hip replacement as soon as she is stable enough to repair the break. This is disaster upon disaster. And my weight is down (unwanted) to 121.8 which is slightly underweight for me at 5’8-5’9. I was going to hang out with you all for support and accountability on maintenance, but i dont think i am adding to the discussion here since my worries are not being able to eat due to stress and lack of time.11

UGW-122 lbs. I was there in 2009/10 and kept it off for 5 years then got lazy.
My goal is to continue with what seems to work for me. 1000-1200 calories, low carb 15 Net +/- 3(My body seems to not do well with carbs. It doesn't know how to burn them and hangs onto them way too much!), minimum 70 + oz of water, 2 meals/day on my days off(3) and 3 meals on my work days(which are long), exercise on my 3 days off. My weigh in day is Sunday.

9/4/22- 175 lbs Back on the rails. Staying on track better this month so far. Today had a wedding that was planned in 2 weeks for a girl at work. They were going to get married on zoom and in 5-10 minutes of a conversation at a work party 2 weeks ago, it became a work party wedding. We all brought a covered dish and a coworkers husband married them a block from where they live by the river. Very nice. Very hard to calculate calories but I think I did fairly well except for a piece of cake. But you have to sample the cake. Its required! LOL!

Hi. I'm 75 and after being retired for a year, felt there was still "more" to life, so entirely switched occupations and now work as a server at an Assisted living Sr Home. Work is hard but saves going to the gym! I live in central B.C., Canada
I'm usually not very successful at challenges but hope to focus on the thoughts and situations that trigger my evening over eating habit.
Recent lowest wt: 156 ( Aug 2021); at first a slow backslide, but it picked up speed over the past 10 weeks. Now yo-yoing between 166.6 and 163.

Not a terrific week as far as my eating went. Consumed 2 - 200g bags of chips, 2 - large chocolate bars, and today ate all 20 of the chewy oat & coconut cookies I baked. The binging is BACK! My issue is that I binge eat....Everything sweet in one sitting which is messing with my blood sugars.
Disappointed with myself, but all I can do is get back on the horse.
Have a good week everyone

I'm Sherri and live in BC. My long term goal is to lose 40Ibs by next September. I know this is feasible but lately I haven't had any luck with losing weight. We have a Ireland trip planned for then. I'm hoping the weight loss will help with my arthritic knees and back so I can enjoy the trip.

I know I ate too many carbs last week. It is really hard to stay away from them as bread is such a convenient item to grab for breakfast and lunch.8
