I was not expecting a loss this week due to having shingles and being on steroids. I haven't been able to go to the gym and tend to eat unhealthfully when not in not in "Healthy" mode. The funny thing is I was scheduled to go for my Shingles vaccine this week
So sorry! That is terrible.

I am at a stand still. Since summer, I lost 11 pounds but now my body is saying, "I like it here." and I am stuck in the 190s.2 -

Hi! I'm Chris - 73 year old female...5'5" ...I used to be 5'7" but arthritis hit and I lost two inches, so now that two inches is squished around my waist like the billows of a big accordion...
...Oh, well. I'll just keep working on it.

11/28-179.8-(Trend Weight: 182.2)- I am working myself back down on the scale. It went up big time during the pre-holiday travel and then the Thanksgiving feast. I knew a lot of it was water retention. I mean, it’s almost impossible to gain 5 pounds of pur fat overnight, right? I’m glad to see my toes have dipped back into the 170 waters this morning. Hopefully I can keep up the momentum.
11/30-181.4-(Trend Weight: 181.9)- Well, I guess it's back to the drawing board. At least my trend weight is down due to the ups & downs of the month.

12/01-181.4-(Trend Weight: 181.9)- Good luck everyone in December. If you need me, I’ll be out back trying to dip my toes back down into the 170’s pool. I’ll be the one with the tacky bathing suit on. Hope I made you smile! Let’s get happy and stay happy while we get healthier and healthier, shall we?

I feel like such a dope. I was wondering why no one was posting and just realized I was still looking at the bookmark from the challenge that ended in October.
I am a 5'3" retiree and started tracking again with MFP in January 2022.

Weight is back up again but it's no surprise. I'd been sick and thus slacking on my exercise while not eating as healthy as usual. Lots of soup = way too much sodium for my body
.
I'm feeling much better now and have gotten back to my usual exercise routine.
Losing has become so much more difficult since I dropped below 160 lbs back in April. When I look at the big picture, however, I am down about 13 lbs year to date so, if I can just maintain through the holiday season, I will be happy.
Hope all of you in the USA had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

12/05-180.6-(Trend Weight: 181.7)- My goal today is to not self-sabotage. I will be home all day due to this horrible chest cold that just isn’t giving me any breaks. There is no excuse for me not to stick to my eating plan. My appetite is not being affected whatsoever so the battle rages on! Exercise, however, is still tough because I’m so weak. I have tested Covid Negative twice now. Yesterday I was finally able to at least get on the exercise bike for a leisurely stroll. I’ve pre-logged my food so I think I’ll be okay. I really need to dip back down into the 170’s so that all progress is not lost. I’m very focused and very close……

I'm a little quiet these days. I am consumed with helping my husband recover from surgery. I took a leave from work for 8 days and hope I can get back to work after that.
The positive side: it is nice to be home all day long.
Cons: Watching someone you love suffer in pain.
I'll get back on track when he is better; I hope in a week or two.
I have been feeding my stress with Chex Mix. Terrible coping idea- but I will give myself a break.
I'm still reading the posts each day.
