Had a lovely walk in the sunshine yesterday. Slept much better last night and cough is less annoying but I feel totally devoid of energy. I have lots of stuff to do so have made a list in order of priority and am going to set my phone on 30 min alarm to get me off the sofa and tackle each task in turn. Once each is done, then I’ll reset the alarm. That is the plan. First alarm set.

Ugh so sore. Got an inflatable pool and a splash pad for the little one Sunday and my hamstrings are feeling it. Did my 60 minute treadmill yesterday, but I was gassed and my heart rate showed it on my watch. I took it easy and ran less just to listen to my body. Trying to stay tight on the calories to get to my end of may goals, it’s hard.2 -

Despite my left knee, I've been walking on the treadmill. I am going to take a rest day today and do chair exercise instead, to give my knees a break. Feeling mostly better since the weekend. I've been eating more rice due to my stomach, and that is registering on the scale. But I'm trying. I just wish I wasn't so hungry at night. I might need to up my protein with dinner.
@HappyDonkey75 Welcome to the group! I hope you will find inspiration here and make some new friends in this journey. It's typical to see a weight drop in the beginning -- it tends to plateau or stablize after a few days. Salty food, irregular bathroom cycles, etc, all that can cause the scale number to go up for seemingly no reason. Just know that if your overall pattern is a lower number, you're doing ok. Some people use things like Weight Grapher (weightgrapher.com) to map their weight loss. MFP also has a graph you can look at to visually see your overall weight loss. Sometimes it's easier to see the progress over time with a visual.
@SofaKween I hope you begin to feel better. Congrats on maintaining during travel - you did great!
@kebass01 Enjoy the rest day, hopefully the muscles will be feeling better tomorrow!
@Plasicage Enjoy your vaca. Hopefully as you said there will be more food choices where you're headed. You're doing great for two vacations in one month. Just keep going!
@kellyswimmer We tend to go off plan on Saturdays, often something salty, and it really can take a couple of days for that to fade from the scale. It's crazy how much salt affects that number. Hang in there!1 -

May 22 202.6- had to attend an event last night so I was worried about food and overeating. I had a protein shake ahead of time to quelch any feelings of being overly hungry and avoid lack of self control It worked because while there was a ton of food I did not feel overly tempted to eat bad things. I had one brownie and tasted a spoonful of another dessert. This is a big deal for me. Normally I would have had 2-3 desserts. I had one vodka drink as well. Feeling good about myself for this small win. and Scale is still moving in correct direction.

Scale gave me both 211.0 or 210.9. I went with the 210.9. I managed walking yesterday for 25 minutes, but I was in significant pain last night so I'll be going back to chair exercise today. I still had to get out and run errands early today so there was some walking, plus a blood draw ahead of next week's appts. A good hike from the medical center parking lot. Glad I had a decent tech for the draw. I hate bloodwork, and had to talk myself into going.
@HappyDonkey75 All you can do is keep going. There are people on some of the MFP threads that have been going for years, losing .2-.4 lbs per month, but keeping at it they lost lots of weight over those years. Keep the faith that you're in this for the long term, and over time, the results will happen. You didn't gain it overnight, and you won't lose it overnight either. We're all doing this, so you're doing the right thing, and with us in this journey. You've got this!
@kellyswimmer , @kebass01 & @SofaKween Congrats on the loss; keep doing what you're doing.

May 3 194. Had Taco Bell last night and am pms-ing so I’m bloated today. Hopefully will fall off over the weekend
May 10 194 😒
May 17 194. Grrr but I guess better than a gain. Went to epcots flower and garden festival and tried lots of yummy food. It helps all the walking and really only try a bite of everything instead of a whole meal. Goal this week is to fill out mfp fully everyday.
May 24 194 UGH. I have been putting in my data everyday this but it was a super stressful week at work so I didn’t workout but once and had a drink after work three days this week. Goal is to keep putting everything into mfp and to workout.
Everyone you all are doing so great! Keep it up. I know it is hard and will be harder with summer and get togethers and bbqs with all the yummy summer foods.3 -

@kellyswimmer I hear you.
@jennigerding19 I'm sorry it's been a crazy week.
Happy Friday, friends!1 -
Happy Friday Ya'll. I made it a whole second week of tracking food , sticking to my routine and continuing to drop. Feeling pretty accomplished.
I am so appreciative to have this place to come to for words of encouragement and motivation. Having a place to go , be accountable to and see others are also walking through this journey makes me feel less alone in it. So thanks to all.
@ManifestingToday thank you for the uplifting feedback. It means alot and very much appreciated.
I saw a photo of myself from 2018 and gosh I looked so fit and young . Then I saw a very recent photo of myself and I nearly cried. I didn't recognize myself. I am feeling pretty shameful and embarrassed. I guess that alone is motivation enough to keep going and knowing I have to be in it for the long haul if I want to get back to that girl again.
