Hi, I'm not dead, but I HAVE been kinda a mess this week. I failed the November challenge. I didn't have energy to move for awhile. I'm still tracking my food, though frankly, I am not yet seeing a connection between eating healthier food and weight loss. I dipped back down four pounds from the beginning of the month after…

I use the meditation app Calm a LOT. I listen to a sleep story most nights, bits of wisdom, and especially meditations to well... calm myself.

Keeping up with the November Down Dog challenge. 4 days of chair yoga! I had to disable standing for the last two day because I pulled something and had a cramp in the glute area. My nutrition has improved the last few days, but my calories have gone up! I need to work on that.

Dairy free yesterday, skipped cheese on my burger, my latte was made with oatmilk. I dropped 2 lb. overnight, my stomach is less bloated than yesterday, I woke up without nausea, my digestion is happy, and my skin cleared up some. I'm just going to have to learn to love dairy free I guess! My current allergy tally is...…

Day 1 of the Down Dog November challenge down! I only am able to do 15 minutes of chair yoga so far, but I definitely felt some glute and hip flexor action happening!

Finally over being sick, but I must have vastly underestimated my calories. In the 3 weeks I was sick, I jumped 9 lb.! Some of that is birthday cake season at my house, but the numbers just aren't adding up, so I must be underestimating somehow. I'm up a shirt size and a pant size. It's not a great feeling. The scale is…

I am stressed and getting over sick atm and I've been catching myself eating my emotions the last few days. Trying to use meditation to relax a bit. I'm going to also try some chair yoga. This may be the sick but I am rocking back and forth between not eating and eating EVERYTHING.

As you folks predicted, the weight is dropping off at a rate of about a pound a day. Thus, almost certainly most of it is water weight. Been super stressed about meeting all my family's medical needs, but I think we're starting to get it organized, at least. I am still waiting for the results of my chest xray; I think they…

Showing off my non-scale victory of fitting in a smaller shirt size. Not pictured: my jeans almost falling down after.

I don't seem my progress lately, especially since I gained a few pounds back. I just see a blob. And I gained 8 pounds in two weeks. I am pretty sick and haven't been eating well or moving much, but there's no way I ate THAT many calories. It's frustrating. My scale has become the enemy. I can't figure out how to stop…

I would try looking at groups, that's what I ended up doing. Finding one you vibe with is very individual. Since we aren't getting friend updates in our feeds anymore, groups in the forum provide more feedback.

Keeping your family in my prayers. I hope they can help.

I think this cold is turning into bronchitis or pneumonia, so going to the doctor Monday for an emergency appointment. This is throwing off a lot of scheduling, but I am getting sicker instead of better. I'm not moving much, and no exercise because it's becoming harder to breathe. My eating is pretty bad also, but I am…

I am pretty sick, going into week three of this, whatever it is. I thought it was a cold, but maybe it's the flu despite my flu shot? Except none of us have fever. Yep, the entire household has this plague now. Spouse and I had to skip the movie we had tickets to last night, we needed the sleep more! It's making it harder…

My supportive aunt and husband!

If nothing else, when I sleep well I have the energy to move around more and more resistance to bad eating. When I've slept badly, I tend to be a turtle, and prone to overeating.

morenin Sunday SW: 255 PW: 210.1 CW: 214.7 After gaining almost 5 lb. in a week for no apparent reason, I'm a wee bit frustrated. I shall now go sulk with my flavored, sugar free water!

My most used emojis! 😛 😁 😼 In less fun news, I ate my calories, but had 100 calories more than the day before, less salt, more water, and gained almost 3 lb. overnight. And I get weighed by a doctor today. I have no idea what I did wrong. Gonna go scream into the ether.

I am up a pound, but I am trying not to get concerned about it. I'm still below my last plateau weight. Honestly, I also had too much salt and too little water yesterday, so I need to accept this as the natural result. It doesn't hurt that I swear my face looks thinner today!

@Katmary71 @trooworld It's just a little tummy bug, I should be fully recovered pretty fast! But I'm not up to being very active until it passes. I'm hoping to eat solid food today, though I always have good old chicken noodle soup on tap if needed. In ironic news, I tried to use the treadmill at home before I got sick,…

I have acquired the ultimate weight loss thing (unfortunately)! I picked up the stomach flu somewhere, so it's more a problem to eat ENOUGH calories right now. But it's also messing with my nutrition, since I'm living on chicken noodle soup and toast right now. This too shall pass! But it's interfering with getting more…

Had a scale victory and a non-scale victory today. I finally hit my mini-goal of 210 lb. My new mini-goal is 200! And my size 18 pants are starting to fall off if I don't cinch them tightly enough!

Aw, rats. Oh well, I do not have the right one.

I've not heard of PitPat, I'm installing it now to look at it. I definitely can't run, but I can walk!

I'm on a downward trend this week, down to 211.6. I'm so close to my mini-goal of 210! What type of exercise gear do you workout in? I generally wear a pair of shorts, a sturdy bra, lace up sneakers, sports socks, and a t-shirt.
