Morning! It’s been a busy week and then the weekend was full of little get-togethers. Everything was fun, but definitely not how our Labor Day long weekends usually are. I need to get back to logging food. I ate so much this weekend. I had a lot of sweets (cookies & ice cream) which I don’t usually have. I had a lot over…

Sorry things are so difficult right now. One thing that worked when I was getting started was to take baby steps. Previously, I would try to make large lifestyle changes, but would eventually fail. Once I started making one small change at a time, I was able to stick with it. Since you like checklists, you might benefit…

@Snowflake1968 - I agree with the others. I don’t think the benefits of knowing the actual date outweigh the potential pain it could cause. @littleblackskirt - I also found that my milestone birthday earlier this year was a great motivator.

The above part of your post sticks out to me. Are you saying you feel like you don’t have support because they’re not doing it with you? You don’t need anyone but yourself. Weight loss is a completely personal journey. For me, being on these forums help keep me focused. Checking in online is part of my daily routine so…

@Snowflake1968 - I have seen that trifold idea, and I do like it. But no matter what, I need some kind of desk space and ideally behind a closed door for at least the older 2. I have an area in mind that my husband can build a basic long desk that 2 of them can use. My youngest will be on the main floor with me at a desk.…

@littleblackskirt - In the US, the Red Cross is offering COVID antibody tests when you donate blood. I gave in July and found out that I have them. I suspect that I had it mid-March about a week after lockdown began, but I’ll never know for sure. My husband is scheduled to donate next week. He never got sick, but we’re…
