Down 0.5. Cat I did start magnesium glycinate a couple of weeks ago. It seems to be helping. The issue this past week was the sacroiliac pain which gets much worse with lying down. It's improving though, and I actually slept well last night. Yoga class this morning.😊 Have a great day!

After 3 nights of almost no sleep, I did catch some zzzs last night, so I am feeling better today. Lack of sleep interferes with my willpower, but I did stick to tracking and have been okay calorie-wise. Exercise has been kaput, but I think I can ease back into it today. We can do this, Cat!

Strike that word "worthless" out of your post! I'm glad you have a doctor' appointment scheduled to get to the root cause of your tiredness. Day 1 of tracking went fine. I even stayed within my calorie limit. Exercise was not as good. I couldn't walk early because I had a breast ultrasound scheduled. (It was fine.😊) I was…

Don't kick yourself! Exercise went well yesterday. Today, I'm going to start tracking again. Have a good day, Cat.

No change from last week.🤷‍♀️ Michelle May says we don't want to be in control of our eating. We want to be in charge. You had a special day and you chose to eat things you probably wouldn't eat on an ordinary day. You had an amazing day with family, and you were happy. I would have done the same.

Go Cat! You deal with food much better than I do. It was a gorgeous day here as well. I was able to hike a local trail with a friend, and it felt great to be in the woods.

Great job, Cat! I have to exercise. Walking outdoors is important for my mental health as well as my physical health. I need the fresh air and the sights and sounds of nature. I do my best thinking when I am walking. I do not love resistance training. I know it's important, but I don't like it. I get through it by watching…

Another good day. Again, I'm not counting calories, but my eating did not go off the rails. I had a good walk in beautiful weather this morning then an afternoon yoga class followed by leg weights. Hope you had a great day.

Great job, Cat! I'm not counting calories at this point, but my eating was controlled, and I walked, did yoga, and lifted weights.

Hi Cat. I'm back if you will have me. During my hiatus from MFP, I managed to put on a few more pounds. I'm really, really good at that. Fortunately, I haven't yet reached my all-time high. Hope you are doing well. Gerri logged into MFP on March 1st. Maybe she is thinking about coming back?✌️

Fit Force, please.

Cat, I hate that I am abandoning you, but I'm leaving MFP. I wish you a long, healthy, and happy life. <3

Up 0.1. Hope you did better than me!

Down 2.7. I'm back! Daughter's surgery went well, and she is now okay to be on her own. It feels so good to be back at home with hubby and kitty, but now I miss my daughter. :D My daughter had only healthy foods in her house, so even though my exercise got off track, my eating was very healthy. Now I need to keep this up…

Great job!

Thank you, Cat! Up 0.6 this week. :s Hang in there. You know you can do this. I'll check in when I return.

Daughter is having surgery this week and I will be traveling tomorrow so that I can be with her. I'll try to remember to weigh in tomorrow morning, but I won't be able to weigh in again until I return home. She eats a vegan diet with little to no sugar, so I'll be exposed to healthy food at her home, and I should be able…

Great job, Cat! The walkability of your new location sounds great! Still no precipitation here, but it feels like 6 degrees. I was just out filling the bird feeders and have opted for another day of indoor exercise.

Down 0.1. Grrrrrr.....

@Lady_Magenta - You go, girl! What an inspiring story. And by the way, winter clothes are heavy! I hope that you and your husband feel better soon.

Good idea, Cat. I won't walk outdoors if it is at all icy. This morning, the temperature felt like 15 due to all of the wind we're getting. I opted to exercise indoors! I must be getting old. :D

Today was a good day...the first in a very long time. :D

We CAN do it!

Happy New Year, Cat!!! Today's weigh in was awful. Time to roll up my sleeves and get to work! Exercise, drinking enough water, and keeping calories at about 1700 per day. Aiming for good, but not perfection.

I'm not weighing in today. Like you, I am starting off fresh in the new year.

I forgot to get on the scale, and after drinking coffee and having breakfast, I'm not going to do it now. :D

Cat, I have lived in ranches my whole life. When we were shopping this last time, hubbie and I wanted a colonial, not a ranch. I didn't even want to look at this house. Yet when we stepped inside, this house immediately felt like home to both of us. In retrospect, I am glad. I am an art journalist and a card maker, but…

Up 0.4. I'm back to a weight that I swore I would never see again. :'( We moved 14 years ago, and I still remember how awful it was. The good news is that our house is a ranch with a laundry closet on the main level. My studio and my husband's music room are in the basement. We are hoping to be able to stay here. I purged…
