Lost 4.2 pounds this week!
I feel like I am finally back on track and doing what I'm supposed to.
I am so sorry to do this again but I would like to change my weigh-in date to Fridays starting on 8/18/23. I have started a new plan where I count 1496 calories during the week and 1796 during the weekend and would like to weigh myself fairly for those "cheat" days.
I hope everyone has a great week ahead! I don't think I got the 911 operator position so today I will be applying for other jobs.
Correction. I just received the phone call. I have officially been hired for the 911 operator position! I start August 28th doing administrative work until the next PECO class starts October 16th.
Oh heck yeah!
Thank you so much!
Now I just need to do some research for some easy to make meal prep lunches for 12+ hour shifts. Looking for low cal high volume ideas if anyone has any haha. Thanks in advance!
Pintrest has a TON of great recipes1 -

@lindamtuck2018
I just looked at the August spreadsheet, you put my weight as 317.4 lbs, an increase of (+2 oz) for the second weigh-in, which put me in the red.
(Bluebabykatz 7 - Sat 324.4 1st 317.2 7.2
2.22% 2nd 317.4 -0.2 -0.06%)
However, I actually lost (-4.8 lbs) during the second week. I put my information below for you to see what I had put down Saturday August 12th. Which would actually keep me in the green and not the red. I'd appreciate a correction. I know it was just an oversight.

I apologize. This makes a big difference as it would have given you second place for weight loss for the week so congrats. I hate when I make an error in the weights. It does unfortunately happen on occasion.1 -

Steps: 5,254
Log food: ✔️
Exercise: 2/4
I did mini walks yesterday. My granddaughter is over for a few days again. We are going for a swim soon. I won’t get laps in as she doesn’t have a friend over today. So lots of swimming, play and I will do as many exercises as I can while entertaining her.

Just got back from my new foot Dr... I am allergic to the screws my old Dr put in ... 6th surgery is happening on 8/25... he is going to put in stainless steel screws and he is going to infuse the 2 breaks in my ankle and take out the 2 old plates and put in 2 new ones in ... I really hope this is the last surgery so that I can get my life back2

Hey yall.. I think I accidentally went into ketosis. Any of yall have experience with coming out of it and not gaining weight back?
I have been so focused on my protein intake and overlooked getting in some carbs. I did a sneak peek weigh in today and it's too much of a loss to not have some shenanigans going on.
Appreciate yall1 -

Thank You Linda💐😃
It doesn't matter about being placed second to me, just wanted to make sure I stayed in the green for this week. We are all human and mistakes are going to happen.
I appreciate you changing the spreadsheet and I also appreciate all that you do for this team. I wasn't upset about not being in the top three losers this week. Like I said just wanted to stay in the green, when it's a week where I've lost weight.
Again Thank You! You're an (Awesome Team Leader) and I'm glad to be on this Amazing team with you and all of the Amazing Downsizers.

You're also still carrying alot of weight, so it's not out of the realm of possibility to have a major loss.1 -

Maybe you were in a plateau and now your body is losing again. I know you lost over 7 pounds last week but percentage wise you are still losing at a healthy rate. Let’s see what today brings.SW 388.6

I really don't understand how weight loss works lol.. I bounce between small losses and big losses, and strangely got the big loss while I was eating more cals than normal (granted I am still well under 2k cals a day) because I have started throwing in protein powder in my diet. My body must have zero idea what is happening right now, so it is continuously trying to reset itself. As long as the scale is going downwards I am happy, just very strange how it all works out.
I have been lifting weights the last few weeks and yesterday I downloaded the Conqueror Challenge app. Since I am starting to get my steps up, I figured this would motivate me to push myself even more. It is so crazy to think that I was 630 pounds just months ago. There were so many things I could do when I was thinner that I took for granted, and to be able to start doing those things again is such an amazing feeling. Little things like standing while I prepare a meal, pulling the trash bins to the street, standing to shower, putting real shoes on (not just slip ons)...
I was a drug addict for years in an attempt to slowly kill myself. Coming to the realization that I was still trying to kill myself, but with food as my drug, has really changed my perspective and added to my drive. What a wild ride. Love yall and appreciate you being here and motivating me.
You are my inspiration!! Love this for you!
