From exercise or daily life? My joints have gotten “old” and achy again with the weight regain, and I’m having a lot of problems with my foot since my responsibilities at work have shifted (less time on the rest mat, more heavy lifting, etc).

Last year I had an emergency laparoscopic ligation for one my tubes following a rupture and was placed on medical leave for two weeks. The majority of recovery was for damage caused by the hospital’s failure to treat me the day of the rupture. Had it been treated the day of I would have been able to return to work after…

You are underweight and obsessing over the *idea* of gaining less than a bottle of water. Think about that. You are obsessing over less than 2 cups of water. You need to stop making excuses and get help. Like alcoholism, eating disorders are lifelong conditions no matter how many good days you have. Take control and get…

Easier to blame the evil carbs than take responsibility for poor choices. For the average person Keto is basically just swapping out diabetes for heart disease. Fats contain twice as many calories as carbs and high-fat diets often lead to muscle loss (and in turn, decreased metabolism). Unless keto is a medical necessity,…

This (along with some chopped veggies on the side) is my go-to for my work meals. Hubby and I also sometimes bake up chicken strips before work to throw on top of a salad.

If I’m not mistaken the streak relies on login, not journal completion.

I don’t worry about it. I have a family history of breast cancer, and one of my aunts developed it despite not having used deodorant or antiperspirant for nearly 40 years. I’m morbidly obese and work in a sheet metal factory, so I don’t have the luxury of skipping deodorant (had to ditch antiperspirant because I was…

I just noticed I wrote “laundry” instead of “garbage” earlier! 😆 Excuse the ridiculousness. @RelCanonical One-on-one therapy was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my health!! There were triggers and behaviours I never would have picked up on without it. @Annie_01 Great idea! The first round of weight I lost…

That second slice of stuffed-crust pizza sitting on the stove. Sooo tempting but I haven’t decided what I want for dinner. 🤔

You have a very unhealthy and unrealistic mentality toward weight loss and diet. Spending hours every day on calorie counting and journaling is NOT normal. Your options for this trip are to accept that you cannot control everything or don’t go. Either way, look into a support group or therapy, as you’re demonstarting early…

John Sandford’s Dark of the Moon. About 80% through and can’t wait to be done with it. Reading it so I can tell my mother I read it, but it’s one of the most difficult books I’ve gotten through in a while.

As mentioned above, interval jogging/running! A few years back I had to start with 15 secs jog, 1 minute walk, but after a month I was 30 secs jog, 30 secs walk. Increase the jog and decrease the walk as your body adjusts to continually increase your body’s tolerance. As for smoking, have you considered using the patch…

Dry face as well. I’ve found I have to avoid lotions on my face and just wash my face nightly with the Olay White Strawberry & Mint bar soap.

In the past I’ve tracked fruits and veggies because I tend to prefer high-calorie produce. When I got comfortable with MFP and general idea of how many calories are in what I relaxed tracking certain things like lettuce and ginger because I never had more than 10 or 20 cals worth. For best/accurate results with CICO though…

My August (and first serious goal in about two years) is to replace snacks with a small coffee. It made a huge (positive) difference in my appetite when I lost a bunch of weight three years ago, and I stop drinking soda almost entirely when I have coffee 1-2 times a day, not to mention I drink twice as much water. It’s…
