Eh, I'm not too worried about this. As my shoulder has gotten better, I've gone back to eating more protein and doing more strength training. If my Renfro scale is to be trusted, I've gained a bit of muscle. My hope was to lose another 10-15lbs by just cutting calories before I got to this point, but it seems my body is unwilling to let go of any more fat at this point, so I have to go with this new plan.

My mother has just been diagnosed with a rare cancer. She's in the hospital and we kids ( we all live in different states) are trying to coordinate her care. I live closest - about 3 hours away. When she is released from the hospital, I will be going to help her and my father with her care. It has added stress to our family situation and I'm trying deal with it without eating my feelings. Good thing the Halloween candy is already gone.

@trooworld Thank you! Your day with the museum it sounds like you did a lot of walking, I'm sure despite the heavy dinner you burned a lot of it off with all the walking. The meal sounds amazing yum!

@tammymccrady6278 You got this just get back to it!

Congratulations Mission Slimpossibles on 2nd place by percentage and results for week 2!

@Megnolia82 @broncobuddee @Digger61 Way to go top winners at losing this week!

@DebJB30 Good news on the gain being muscle! I'm not sure how reliable those scales are as I've never owned more than a basic one but you'll be able to tell by your clothes not getting tighter. I'm so sorry to hear about your Mother having cancer, sending prayers to all of you.

Hi everyone! Not much to report, I picked up my muffins then took one of the packs to my neighbor and we walked the neighborhood a few times. She's turning out to be a good friend I'm glad she's moved here. Did good on eating right at my limit but not so good with mindful eating as I've been so focused on cleaning up buckwheat seeds from the farm (brought 4 buckets home with me to clean the seeds up). I'm feeling a bit like I want to hibernate but between all these people coming to the house I'm unable to. I don't really feel depressed but haven't been sleeping very well and the thought of staying in bed all day reading sounds like heaven. Have a great Monday friends.

I had some trouble with emotional regulation this week. Dealt with it in really poor ways.

@DebJB30 I'm so sorry to hear about your mother having cancer. It's good that you are going there to help when she is released from the hospital. In the past I was caregiver for both of my parents; I know what an ordeal it can be, for a non-medical caregiver trying to cope with medical issues. I hope your mother is a good patient for you. Give your father as much support as possible. And don't let the rest of the siblings off the hook, just because you live closest! Prayers for all of you.

Holding steady. Everything’s good but life is crazy busy. Will likely be MIA until next week’s check in. Hope everyone is doing well!

@Katmary71 - try putting the reminder note INSIDE the refrigerator. It's so easy to overlook notes on the refrigerator door.

Yay! I won first place in the contest 5th place spot from the top of the list, and I was number one for "Uniqueness Of Design Leaders!" There are only 25 First Place Winners and 125 people on the list including second, third, fourth and fifth places. The next contest is Christmas, I usually get inspired faster because I love Christmas Decorations.

I've been eating lots of yummy food, corn beef hash, a side of potatoes, and eggs over easy made for a very tasty lunch. And it was very easy for me to eat. I have a motility disorder I suffer from esophageal spasms. Somedays it's really hard to get my food to go down, but I do my best because my doctor told me again at our last visit not to lose any more weight. According to her my weight has been dropping over our last three visits. I told her I was trying to get some wiggle room so I can eat something yummy at the holidays. I've gained a little, so I need to spend a week eating salads, with a baked potato tossed in the middle of the week. It's easier to stop and go back before I reach 140 like that. I don't know how many times I have gained and lost the same 5 lbs. The food will wait for me, it's not going anywhere. I can store most of it in the freezer. I have felt out of control, so I stopped eating nuts for a week. They are so yummy; I'm addicted to them. My brain say's go eat some nuts you know you love them, but then I think my clothes won't fit if I gain any weight so I better not. Speaking of clothes, I think it's time to get rid of all of my large clothes and only keep the medium size.

I am inspired by all of you, and I am in awe of your will power and dedication to your lifestyle changes. It's no longer a diet, it's a commitment to stay healthy for the rest of your lives.

Hey guys, just a quick check in. I ended up starting out with strepthroat, then got Covid.🥴. Finally on the road to recovery, feeling pretty good, just really tired. Wanted to say that I am still around and definitely on my way back :-). Hope everyone is well!
