@justanotherjen13 I hope you feel better quickly! Pain after shots is so unpleasant. I get allergy shots every few weeks and sometimes it causes a large painful bump on each arm (I don't know why some months isn't too bad and others are horrible). Sleeping afterwards is a joke.

Hey all! I'm trying to keep on track and so far today I'm doing well. Yesterday I did a trunk or treat and took caramel corn flavored rice cakes topped with peanut butter and chocolate chips, spicy pickle flavored popcorn, an apple, and pistachios with me so I wouldn't be tempted by candy or the food truck. Then a friend…

I didn't make it to the YMCA because one of my daughter's favorite trunk or treat events plus small festival was last night. I had completely forgotten. However, I only ate 2 pieces of candy while trailing her so I'm going to count that as a win after all. I also finally started writing my recipe blogs again. I was every 2…

Checking in..... finally free of emergencies, home repairs, and all the other chaos. Of course, now the house is full of candy from Trunk or Treat events and all that fun. I really need to be 100% back on track. I checked my fasting blood sugar this morning after having some goodies at my neighborhood book club last night.…

I made this commitment on Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon I had a scratchy throat and wasn't feeling 100%. By yesterday morning my over the counter test was positive for C. So...... I'll try restarting my commitments again next week when I can leave the house and don't feel so miserable.

When it rains it pours.... I posted yesterday I had gotten back to Zumba and that I was ready to tackle being back on track.... then I had a scratchy throat yesterday afternoon and tested positive for Covid this morning when I woke up feeling miserable.

Hey all! I'm back. I essentially had a lot of excuses followed by legit emergencies all throughout this summer and I disappeared from the boards entirely. So.... I'm back and trying to get my butt in gear again. Starting simple with my goals as it's been a while since I really made any. JFT: 👸Log food all day 👸No coffee…

Hey all! I know I've been pretty silent for the past 2 months or so. A lot has been going on but if I don't get my butt in gear, it's going to be bad. I hit my lowest weight ever this past spring. Now I've put 25 lbs back on already. So many excuses followed by so many legit emergencies..... it just hasn't been pretty. I…

Linda 40 years old, 5’7” SW: 300 lbs Prev Low: 191 lbs GW: 180 lbs CW: 215-ish (I need to do a real weigh in again) 🎃What are your plans for October? Are you trying to accomplish anything (big or small) in the last three months of 2023? I just want to get back on track. I keep either making excuses or having real…

I haven't been checking in. I wanted to just jump in quickly and let you all know why and what's been happening. At the end of August i had severe pain and then an emergency root canal. Once I could finally eat again, I went on a family reunion vacation with my husband's family. Now that I've been back for about a week and…

I'll get around to actually catching up and reading everything later this week. Today I'm trying to catch up on work that I skated around some last week and all the other things I had to let slide. Pain-wise I'm much better. It's still uncomfortable like a deep bruise. However, no more stabbing throbbing pain. I can't…

New tooth pain update. I went yesterday for my endodontist consult. He decided, even though I had only been on the antibiotic for 24 hours, to squeeze me in to do the actual root canal. I've been told that between the infection and the procedure that I should expect to be sore for a few days, possibly thru the weekend. He…

Quick update on where I've been this week.... On Sunday I started having tooth pain. On Monday my dentist was out of the office. On Tuesday I was told I need to see an endodontist because they are fairly sure I need a root canal. Today I have a consult with the endodontist. I'm not eating healthy but a lot of that is I…

JFT: ☑️No coffee until 8am ☑️No food until 10am ☑️No food after event ends (pot luck movie night) ☑️Drink at least 90 oz of water ☑️Stay under 1800 calories ☑️At least 5000 steps on Fitbit ☑️Try to put a dent in work emails ☑️Laundry ☑️Prep for movie…

@dogwalker157 I did so well for the beginning of this year. It was only when my family was coming to visit that I let myself slip so hard. I'm trying to remember what worked for months with stress. Somehow going back to food is so much easier than all the good habits I had formed and when it got to be too much, I went back…

I had a touch and go day yesterday. Around 2pm I really wanted to start snacking. I had a handful of pretzels and some cream cheese. Then I still wanted things... not because I was still hungry but because I was stressed, working, calculating, and just annoyed at the world. I wanted to take a 15 minute work break just to…

I had a rough couple hours yesterday when I just wanted to snack. I kept to some pretzels with cream cheese, allowed myself a diet soda, and got busy doing other things until the feeling passed. It was a close thing though... I really wanted to dive into the pantry. Stress eating is a huge thing that I keep circling back…

@Foreverchanged1 Welcome!!!! Accountability definitely helps with keeping on course.

I'm back. School has started. My husband is in the office full time. My neighbor is going to start walking with me again. Also, my fasting blood sugar has been higher that it should be and I need to fix that. So.... I'm back and buckling down again.

Hey all! I didn't really post or do anything the way I'm supposed to do throughout the summer. So, now I'm back and trying to start fresh again. School is back in session so my daughter isn't home to bug me while I work. My husband is in the office. No out of town visitors scheduled through August. I have no excuse for not…

Linda 40 years old, 5'7" SW: 300 lbs GW: 180 lbs Prev Low: 191 lbs Aug 1: 209 lb Aug 4: 203.4 lb Well….. yesterday I had to go into the office for a new laptop. I came back home. Went back in again. It just wasn’t a very productive work day for me. I ended up grabbing cookies on my back and forth since I was trying to get…

SW: 300 lbs GW: 180 lbs Prev Low: 191 lbs Aug 1: 209 lb..... ugh!!!!! Hey all!!! I know the first part of the year I was posting on Raven's monthly threads almost daily. Then I had parental visits, stress eating, crazy work stuff, daughter stuff, husband in hospital early in the year stuff..... and I let a lot of things…

Hey all! I'm trying to get back to posting, communicating, and keeping myself accountable. Since school starts for my daughter in 2 days I assume I'll be able to do this without so many distractions. Since it's August 1, I'm waiting for the new thread to start. :wink:

@harringtona1 Sorry I've been MIA. It's been a long and insanely busy month. I haven't logged as I should but I haven't really gone anywhere either. Just so busy! I just finished as a volunteer for the Ride To End ALZ over the weekend. It's a 3 day bike ride that is over 280 miles. While I didn't ride, I did pass out…
