I wish I had time to respond to everyone. But @speyerj - wow!!! You look so amazing and strong. So impressed with all the work you have done!!

@cesse47 I am so glad to hear that you are safe. Praying for everyone; such a difficult and scary time and situation.

@mmdeveau I posted a response before I read your latest post about your friend, and had made some assumptions that may not have been accurate. Anyway. It sounds like she is a taker and you are a giver, and she has taken advantage and doesn't appreciate you. I think it's time to move on. I'm sorry. But it is so liberating…

Only have time for a few quick shout outs, but I have been reading everyone's posts! @lbostic89 I recall you saying you worked in healthcare. Thank you for taking care of everyone and I am glad you are safe and healthy! So happy to see you back! @speyerj Happy birthday and congratulations on making your goal! Your efforts…

Not that I am complaining about the bounce back down - it is always…

So I am starting May at 187, with a 0.5 lb gain after all of that for April. Like everyone, I have gone through a range of emotions in March and April. Looking…

@RavenStCloud thanks for posting the new thread and sharing about South Korea. It made me shiver to read about the population and number of deaths attributable to COVID. It makes me so sad to think of all the souls we have lost here in the United States due to such poor planning, testing, and compliance. Glad you are safe…

Welcome everyone new, so glad you found us! I only have a few minutes to post, but hope everyone is doing okay and adjusting to this crazy time. Go us for staying accountable, whether we are losing or not, with all of the uncertainty and new routines!! @pamiede you look amazing in that dress!!! Way to go! @Terytha just…

I was sure I wouldn’t make my mini-goal because I was 2.2 lbs heavier yesterday morning than this morning, but I did - I am at 184.6 this morning, which makes me “overweight” rather than “obese” for BMI purposes as I turn 49(!!) 30 more lbs to go for a “healthy” BMI which is my tentative goal. Weight loss has definitely…

I did start taking the melatonin supplement and it has really helped…

@mccloy12 I am so very sorry. That really sucks and is very scary. I wish I could give you more advice on anxiety. I will let you know if the supplement I ordered has an impact on sleep. And listen to the podcasts I posted above. Apply for unemployment insurance. It will provide some funds to and hopefully can be done…

A few of of us have referenced the PNP podcasts. I have subscribed to them on my phone and am posting a link to the PNP website to make it easier for others to access them as a first timer. If you are stress eating right now, please listen to a few of these and see if they can help you. Corrine also links to some of her…

@lbostic89 thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you and your co-workers are doing. We have a tenant in our basement apartment who is a medical resident at the hospital. Two of her co-workers are being tested. I can't imagine how stressful this is for anyone in healthcare but I am in awe of you all. You are our…

@leanneellison1979 to could be a lot of things, including sodium, time of month, alcohol. Don’t be afraid of it. If you are doing the right things the loss will come. Maybe not when we want or expect it but just be consistent. I would weigh, use it as a data point, and move on so you can see what about your routine works…
