            I think I need to be excused this week...I've been on antibiotics for a week and everything is gross.
 @minstrelofsarcasm so sorry to hear about the migraine. I know others with MS (great aunt had it before there were tx, too) and, yeah, no joke. Glad you're feeling better.
 @Zumba_Luvah sorry to hear you are struggling. I've also had some pain (hips, lower back) when getting moving. For me, that usually means I need to do more core work and hip flexor exercises. I started them again Wed and now I'm sore. Do you know why your is? Does anything help? This walking pad sounds interesting.
 I see some good losses this week and some solid maintains, well done! As we head for mire holidays, what sort of challenges do you have? What are some strategies that can help?
 I don't have family, just my husband (and family of choice, though they all have other family), so holidays tend to remind me of what I don't have. Apparently I've become an emotional eater, so this means more snacking, easily available junk ('cuz, you know, holidays), time off, which gives me time to brood. 🙁 I have a ton of vacation I need to take (38.5 hours over my max of 240 and...earning more every 2 weeks...) or I lose it in June. But I need to have a plan for the time and I need to diengage from my phone. So, less phone, more projects, more moving, less junk. And maybe more time spent in what I do have (lovely husband, good friends, job I enjoy (Ashley, what happened after that job interview?), A decent home, Etc. That's a lot.4

            Hi
 I’m Rachel. Im current hitting close to 160 pounds. I have to start a better diet and exercise routine before this gets out of control. There’s no better time to start than now!
 I know I can do it, because two years ago I weighed 198 and was able to get it down to 150 pounds in six months time.
 I need to focus and zero in on my health and body. Exercise and dieting needs to be a priority for me. Otherwise my body weight tends to creep upwards.
 2023 is right around the corner and my goal is to get back in shape and lose ten pounds or more by May.
 I know I can do it if I put my mind to it!
 Have a good weekend everyone.

 I'm very sorry for posting late. It's been a tough and very intense week for me. It's going to continue like that for a couple of days and should calm down. I am happy for "having" you here - thank you!2

            @melaniedscott
 Thanks for sharing your comments. I don’t have much family either. And I’ve felt the same about holidays for years. You have a great attitude on life about what you do have…”lovely husband, good friends, job I enjoy.”
 I will give being positive a try… I have a nice husband, two lovely teenagers, and a job that is stressful as hell but pays the bills well enough (I guess). My mental health is healing and I’m getting better and better. But my mental illness is something I’ll deal with for the rest of my life…major depression disorder, PTSD from childhood, possibly bipolar disorder from two manic episodes over the past 20 years and the worst PMDD. 20 mg Prozac seems to work and it is what I need to be better and whole. Exercise and healthy eating would be a better option, but as of the past five or six months, I’ve been in a major rut when it comes to good physical health.
 I’ve been focusing so much on my mental health that I put my physical health in the back burner. Finding and maintaining a good balance has always been tough on me.

 Definitely feeling better. Had my first normal meal in a couple days on Saturday, starting to get back into my routine while being wary that I'm not quite 100% yet. Went to the gym for the first time in a week this morning, and while it felt good, I'm glad I kept it low intensity. Still feeling a bit of weakness, and I don't suspect it will go away until I've completely counteracted the malnourishment I faced last week.melaniedscott wrote: »(Ashley, what happened after that job interview?)
 I received a job offer on Friday!!! I'm planning on taking it - just have to figure out a couple important logistics first and then I'll be set to start in January.

 You'll do well whatever it is.
 Not closer to home, also not less stressful, but it's definitely something new, and I'm really excited to get started! It'll be strange not being a fire engineer anymore, but it's time to make a change and step it up.4
