@sarah7591 It has always been my internal secret as well (very well put). I hate when people start to discuss the latest diet they are on or weight loss supplements they are taking. It gives me a lot of anxiety. Or if I loose some weight then it’s all about “how did you do it?” And then the let down of gaining it back…

June Start Weight: 182.8 June Goal Weight: 175.0 Ultimate Goal Weight: 145.0 June 1: 182.8 June 8: June 15: June 22: June 29: June 30: Heaviest I have been in 25 years following knee replacement surgery and significantly reduced ability to return to walking and exercise (for now 😉). Also, mentally challenging and led to…

@BeverlyW1108 please do not be ashamed. There is no way you gained that in fat. The pasta will retain water- where the name carbo”hydrate” refers to. It will wash away as your body normalizes. This is why I have tried to going to a once a week weigh in. Daily weigh ins can affect my whole attitude. Lost a pound… maybe I…

Hello, Short on time this morning but wanting to join a June challenge. June 1-182.8 pounds

Hello, I have been super exhausted the last few days. Couldn't even get enough energy up to see what was going on here. I am hoping it is part of the healing process combined with me increasing my activity. Funny, but I ate a stack of Graham wafers last night @BeverlyW1108 Solved my problems for a few minutes anyway. I…

You have inspired me @sarah7591 ... Yes, let's do this B)

Hello, "It's a beautiful day" - U2 I got on the scale for the first time in months and I am the heaviest I have been in at least 25 years. Picking myself up, dusting myself off, and looking out at a beautiful morning. I am beyond blessed with this new knee and I am going to make the best of it. Lighter, stronger,…

Hi, Today is a rest day for me… My whole body is sore. I did 3 20-30 minute weight sessions this past week- bis/tris/back; legs (mostly on healthy one!); and chest/shoulders/abs. Although the weights were much lighter from where I left off in January when my knee gave way, my muscles are feeling it. I am no longer a no…

Hi, @BeverlyW1108 Your amusement park trip sounds so fun! I cannot wait until my grandchild is old enough to do that with! We took our kids to Disney World years ago and had a blast. Especially the water park we went to. It was a coolish day so we were the only family there along with a family from Minnesota- both cold…

Hi, My biceps and triceps are sore today and that is a feeling I have not had for a very long time. I worked them and my back yesterday and it feels really good to start weight training again. Today I did what I could for legs- a little lopsided as I can’t do much in my left yet but with some alterations I got some done.…

Hello, Slowly getting back on track with macros and movement. Going to start some upper body weights today. I am still dragging my *kitten* but I know that this will help with my mental game and sleep. Physio was brutal yesterday. Trying to get this knee straight is excruciating. I try to picture myself walking normally…

Hi all, Finally got everyone that helped us with our cattle this weekend fed, watered, and gone. Even though I couldn’t do much, 3 weeks post surgery I am still easily exhausted. Not 20 anymore! Once my knee gets to the point that I can start riding my bike again, I have decided to set a goal of racing in an Aquabike next…

Hi everyone! Still struggling a bit with energy but finally got caught up at work completely. Feels good going into the long weekend (our holiday Monday in Canada). Things usually pretty slow the Friday before. Headed home after supper. We are vaccinating our cows and calves on Monday. Usually have about 30 neighbours…

Evening! Busy day. First day of actual physio- she was really happy with the progress I have been doing with my at home exercises the surgical team gave me. My knee is straighter than previous to the replacement and I have improved my flexion by 10 degrees. Yay! I haven’t been tracking the last couple of days. Still at my…

Hi, I also couldn't sleep last night- weird! One thing about this knee is that it's too much hassle to get up and out of bed! When I am tired I crave sugar and fatty foods. Worst combo. I got moved to my daughter's today- she lives an hour and a half away. She was the only one that could take me to physio in the city…

Hello! Not able to get here until this evening. My first day back at work and it was insanity. At least I know I have job security. My boss kept sending things my way until I finally said no more! It will take me all week to get caught up on the last 2 weeks. I told her my surgeon typically requests 3 months off post…

Hello, Thank you for the kind thoughts. Sometimes I think that holding back on eating at social events actually winds up with me bingeing later on. I am trying to get to a place with food where I can sit and enjoy it and not treat it like it's my last meal because I will be "good" tomorrow. Do either of you experience…

Hi. @sarah7591 Prior to having the surgery, I had varying insights as to recovery. There are several different replacements from partial to full, as well as the state of the knee before surgery, so I think recovery is really variable. I went in with a knee that was rebuilt in 1986 from a ski racing injury. I had severe…

Hi, Thank you for the welcome. I have had an eating disorder most of my life- I can really remember it vividly starting at around 15. It’s been a lifetime of ups and downs, doing crazy diets, just not eating, over exercising- I could go on. I have finally come to realize through some soul searching- one thing my knee…

Hello, My name is Melanie, I am 56 years old and from Alberta Canada. Had a complete knee replacement done just shy of 2 weeks ago and now ready to capitalize on this second chance I have been given. I love anything to do with athletics so I hope I will be able to pursue a lot of things my knee was not allowing me to do…

Hi, I am 11 days post op of getting a new knee and ready to start tracking again. I quit for awhile as I was pretty immobile and frustrated since the beginning of the year waiting for this to get done. Now that it has it is my second chance at doing all the things I love as I have loved anything having to do with athletics…
