Thank you!

Good morning, @lindamtuck2018. Up a little earlier today as we got cheated out of an hours sleep last night thanks to daylight savings time! Just finished resetting all of our clocks so I figured I could give you my update now.

Member: rwillems
Weigh-in day: Sunday
PW: 269.8 lbs
CW: 267.8 lbs (down 2.0 lbs)

Good week this week. Tracking my meals is still my best tool in my weight loss arsenal. My cardiologist challenged me to get my daily intake of calories down to 1500-1600/day (and, of course, the usual “NO SALT, NO SUGAR”). Well I love a challenge so I accepted. Now I am down to 1900 calories/day (down from 2250) and significantly reduced both salt and sugar! I can’t say it will work for everyone but it seems to work for me.

Anyway, everyone have a great week! Looking forward to hearing everyone else’s success stories!

Very nice loss! Tracking is so important. Sugar I overall do ok with but I love salty things so I really have to be careful.

I will move you. Megan does steps and I do weights.

Eating out/salt just kills me. Don't worry.

I am excited as my new Apple Watch comes today. I won’t be using it until I get a proper screen protector. Hopefully, the ones I ordered from Amazon will work otherwise I will take it somewhere to get one. I don’t think I will even be able to sell mine as it is so scratched. Trying to convince my husband to use it.

There is snow on the ground again and I don’t like it. I will be doing indoor walks as I don’t want to miss the delivery. Have a great Monday!

Stepping down as captain

After the March challenge I will be stepping down. This was a very hard decision. I have been a motivator then on to captain since I joined F2F. When the Downsizers team was formed, I moved from my previous team and became captain. I have had memory issues since I had Covid the first time. It has slowly gotten worse over time. As it has now started causing me to make mistakes or forget to do things within the group so it was time. There are several things affecting my memory. We are working to improve what we can and develop coping strategies. I am staying with the team and looking forward to your support as I attempt to lose these last 10 pounds. I will still be here to cheer you on.

Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your weight loss journey.

Linda

Thank you for all your hard work! It’s much appreciated but health and wellness should come first before everything. Focus on you and we will be here to support you!! Will Megan be covering it all or someone new

I woke up feeling very anxious today. Normally when I feel like this I tend to stress eat. Luckily I decided to do a workout, have some tea and try to relax. Everything seems to have worked out for now but we will see.

Weigh In Day: Monday
