The last day I logged in was May 18. Ugh. I have spent the morning reading everyone’s posts and all the triumphs and tribulations. I seem to be out of remission with my autoimmune disease and lots of doctors appointments last week and this week. Today I woke up feeling stronger but my husband is sitting on me because when…

Infusion day. Tired and cranky. Pass day 4. My goal the rest of this month is to stay below 5.

I think it’s pretty much trial and error as everyone is different. My weight fluctuates day to day by as much as 2-5 pounds depending on my salt intake, water intake, travel schedule. I try to weigh every day but I mentally track the average of my daily weights on a weekly basis. That eliminates a lot of the daily…

@MadisonMolly2017 - hang in there and feel better. You’re in my thoughts.

@MadisonMolly2017 - I am so happy for you. Enjoy enjoy enjoy! @Chinkiri - you’ll get there in no time now. You’re already traveling to Paris. It won’t be much longer. I know how you feel. It took a year to see my grandkids. They’ve grown so much in that time. I missed the whole 5 years old and the whole 2 years old. I am…

@Crosbinium - Happy Birthday! 🎈🎂🎉🎊

@MadisonMolly2017 That’s great! We won’t know what’s going on in any area without longer term studies.

@SummerSkier - faster shoes are the best!! I think red or yellow ones are the fastest. Orange may be close. Congrats on your achievements. NSV - I knew this month was going to be tough before joining for May. Lots of work changes and back to flights a few times a month. My NSV is that I joined instead of just throwing in…

@MadisonMolly2017 - are you in the John hopkins study? I am in that one and so far I have antibodies despite monthly infusions. The Times article scared the heck out of me. My doctor told me a lot of people, including doctors, completely misinterpreted the study results.

@Higa2021 - that is always a tough spot to be in. It seems people want to eat whatever they want and don’t want to be made to feel guilty or self conscious while doing so. In the past, I would just eat to avoid the discussion and then feel horrible after. I have an autoimmune disease and many foods bother me. Even without…

@Dory_42 - have a great time!! @Chinkiri - I’m so glad you’re feeling better. I suddenly have an urge to buy some plants tomorrow.

Stay in. I am back after a hiatus and hope to one day make the winner’s circle. That being said, my plan is to consistently lose and maintain in this group. I will lose a few pounds, then maintain for a few months, then lose some more and repeat. I was away from the group for a bit and a few (8) pounds started to appear.…

I have been reading everyone’s posts since May 1. It’s amazing how supportive this group is of everyone’s highs and lows and how we all have so much “stuff” we are living through every day. Be well and carry on. Monday, May 3 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, walk - active rest day Tuesday, May 4 Tracking: Yes…

Hello all. This group kept me motivated and accountable for a very long time and then I simply ... Anyway, I maintained for over a year but in the last 6 weeks I have gained 9 pounds. I have not been weighing my food for many months and I have not been moving. I woke up today, stepped on the scale, and thought - this stops…

I am just starting to feel better and get my energy back. I tested negative for COVID but had some kind of respiratory infection. We quarantined just in case the result was a false negative. I pop in every so often and had to read all the NSVs. I’m eating healthy and just taking it easy. I hope to be back in full force…

@ForLangston - congratulations! Those are 2 magnificent accomplishments and the celebration well deserved.

Still sick. They don’t think it was solely a reaction to my infusion last week and I’m being tested for COVID. If it is positive, it’s been relatively mild. I haven’t been working out and haven’t been logging. I’m eating the same old stuff so I think I’m okay in that department. I have many passes now but it’s all good. I…

One of my favorite things is to sit by a campfire under the stars. For me, it is the most calming and “becoming one with the universe experiences” there is. Seeing the Northern Lights while doing it would be amazing but, alas, I am outside of Boston, Massachusetts, USA so no northern lights. We spend a lot of time in…

Thursday, December 3 First pass day. My infusion was tough today. I like to schedule them later in the day so I don’t lose the whole day but it’s not always possible having them every 4 weeks. So today’s was early. All day under a blanket on the couch. Hopefully I will be up and going tomorrow as good as new. I was…

@KCJen - I am so sorry to hear all you have been going through. My thoughts are with you and here here to a better December.
