Love the fur babies! Plus thinking of all the newborns in your lives. How nice it would be to have a little one to hold and take care of. Brings everything back to reality and so meaningful. @cyndiesstuff and @ljdanny you are both so wonderful to care for others! @sleepymom5 - eventually you will have grand babies! With 5…

Username: Julie8468 Weigh in Week: week 1 Weigh in day: Friday Previous weight: 142.4 Today's weight: 141 Yay! Thank you for the advice! Got more water in! Now planning the weekend meals, or planning to plan, so that I can stay on track until next Friday.

Still here, just running behind as usual. Funny that I always feel I don’t have time to post, but then spend so much time thinking about all the things I would like to say... (I’ve started this so many times, so here goes, short version;) So. Who am I? I’m Julie from Ottawa Canada. I am 45 years old, married with 2 boys…

@Julie8468 PW: 142.4 CW: 143 Halloween got me!

Julie8468 PW: 142.4? CW: 142.4 I was tracking for a loss this week, but ate everything in sight last night. Looking back I know why, even having nightmares last night! I ate to fill an emotional need, obviously didn’t work. Then last night dreamed about all the crap I ate, and woke up so often during the night thinking…

Julie8478 PW: 145 CW: 143.4 Honestly the weight lost is as a result of the water weight I had gained at surgery. I will put more effort in this coming week in reflecting on what I can change while still recuperating. Hope you all have a great day!!

Check in since forever... Water is good, exercise = none given I’m trying not to push myself and recover. But man is it hard to not do stuff. I think I over did it on Monday, stomach hurts more and now I have a bruise under my skin below my navel where one of the incisions are that is still hidden by bandages. I know a few…

Check in for Saturday Got lots of water in, food was under. But since I’m not moving much there wasn’t a difference on the scale this morning. Silly me thought it would be a great morning on the scale, something to look forward to! Oh well, so back to focusing on rest, recovery and managing pain until everything heals up.…

@nstephenson01 so glad to hear your husband is coming home!! While you seem to have a busy day today, I hope you can add to your list some well deserved “welcome home” kisses!

Julie8468 PW: 144 CW: on Friday was 145 So, my drama continues into October. Severe stomach pain sent me to the emergency room weds. I’m now back home, having had emergency surgery to remove my right Fallopian tube and ovary. It twisted on itself and was “dead” by the time the surgeon opened me up. On pain meds now,…

Monday October 7 Food: over but logged Water and exercise ok. On day 3 of taking vitamins every morning, I’m hoping it will help get my energy back up. I’ve been so tired over the last few weeks, I know it’s due to not sleeping, getting anxiety attacks and nightmares in the middle of the night. I do get up, wander around…

Thank-you @Cafelelia !!

@Cafelelia can I start again? My starting weight is now 144. :( Didn’t have a great September, it flew by! I over ate, drank way too much and didn’t do the workouts I promised myself. Lost control due to life events that I just couldn’t handle very well. And just shut down. I do enjoy reading every ones posts and truly…

Julie8468 PW: 142.8 CW: 144.8 +2 lbs

Julie8468 Week 2 Cw: 143.2 Not sure what my pw was, but it was lower. I know what I need to do, and started listening to PnP yesterday. I just got to start doing something... and not make excuses.

@Moarrein oh no the in-laws! That is a particularly difficult challenge! Any chance they would be ok if you went around and hid all the goodies? Just kidding, depending on your family that may not go over so well.. I would blame it on the kids having too much sugar. You have a better approach in your post: to get your plan…

I’m on board with the suggestions! @nstephenson01 and @sleepymom5 and @Mrsbell8well - lets help each other and make September our best efforts. I do hope Cyndie is ok. Isn’t there a big storm hitting Florida soon?

Julie8468 Week 4 PW: 141.8 CW: 142.8 This week I lost my motivation, too many other things happening and energy is low. I need to focus on me again and my health. I need to plan out week 5 better!

Julie8468 Week 3 PW: 141.4 Cw: 141.8

Catching up on posts today! Miss you guys, back at work now after vacation and had a very busy stressful week. No exercise in except for walking, had to travel out of town for meetings and walked everywhere so that did help. I’m looking forward to September, as the boys school and work should get me on a more predictable…

Julie8468 Friday Week 2 PW: 141.4? Not sure.. CW: 140.4

Anyone else wondering how @cyndiesstuff is doing? Hope the evening out for dinner with a friend went ok.

Check in for August 6 Food: logged, a little over Steps: 6,880 Water: not good I had no plan today, still on vacation with my two boys but home now, husband is back at work. @cyndiesstuff : My goal today was to figure out healthy meals we would want to eat. Shopped and cut up food for snacks, was thoughtful on what we ate…

Hi! I’m back - May I please set my starting weight at 140.4? Just weighed myself today for the first time since July 26. I am looking forward to spending time this August with all of you!

Last two weeks have been sooo busy. Trying restraint on food mode right now with some hope of getting back into the gym, work and home life has been overwhelmingly disruptive to setting plans and very stressful for me. Lost my gym buddy, my 13 year old is too tired this summer to go to the gym in the evenings after the…

Julie8468 Pw: 139.8 Cw: 140.8

Julie8468 Pw = Cw = 139.8 No change, surprised it went back down to what I had last week, it was up higher all week.

Julie8468 PW: 139.2 CW: 139.8 Up by .6. Sorry I haven’t checked in in a while. Hard to explain what is going on in my head right now. But feels like I don’t have the same energy or control than in previous months, so many things I put aside got back into my routine. Still working on it.

Ahh I’m creeping up... panicking a little, but helps that I know what’s happening. I need to get my schedule in order and plan better meals. Still not getting to gym, last time was Sunday. Our summer schedule is very erratic, and work is very busy as there are deadlines everyday, and won’t let up this time of year. Have to…

Julie8468 Week 1 Friday Pw: 138.8 Cw: 139.2 +.4
