https://ncase.me/covid-19/ This site gives most outcomes given many of the confounding variables i.e compliance with distancing, shelter orders, and mask wearing. See you all in 2021.

You don't. You tell him/her that you care about them & remind them having an annual physical is important.

i am always amazed at how sodium- even just one salty meal- or ibuprofen can add a couple pounds of water weight. And of course TOM. Keep at it. I cant tell you how many times I feel discouraged too. Hugs- this day will pass & you will feel better.

Thanks for the responses! Going to try slowing down and breathing one side every two strokes. Wow- thanks k8eekins-- very interesting stuff on the bilateral swimming. I am going to incorporate some ideas in there. Great to hear since I am just beginning!

EXACTLY why you should watch the documentary... its different than you think:) Gotta love Allen Iverson.

I got into basketball because of Allen Iverson. Always thought that shorter, awesome, bball players are even more awesome because of their height disadvantage. The bio documentary on AI- simply called Iverson is a great watch. Highly recommended to all basketball fanatics! Go Warriors!

It sounds like you have a lot on your mind. Be a little more compassionate with yourself. I get the disappointment with gaining some of the weight you lost back. But, as @lynn_grenmont said you still have lost a lot. AND more importantly you are on this site trying to stop a bigger back slide. So good for you for reaching…

Thanks everyone for the responses. Age-- yeah-- hadn't thought about that factor- but, definitely could contribute. I am guessing it is a circulation problem rather than the cold as @NorthCascades has suggested. I think the boots are pretty tight- and since I am skiing very infrequently - it hurts. I didn't know about the…

Count me in on this group. I started a bullet journal awhile ago and have not kept it up. I want to develop the habit because it is such a great system for me.

Hey thanks everyone! These are such great responses. I truly appreciate the feedback & will take heart with some of these suggestions. Thanks for the commiseration @73CL350 - your post was honest & made me laugh:)

Thanks @middlehaitch. I can get the weight down. I just need to believe in myself! I also really need to develop more stringent habits. I am a very spontaneous person, and get bored or uninspired by routine. And being a foodie doesn't help much either.:0

try listening to Pantera...

remember a time that you were happy; you have the capacity to feel joy again. These awful days will pass. Be kind to yourself-- go get a manicure, pedi, massage, your hair washed at one of the super-cut kind of places-- they will do a wash only and it feels nice. (((HUGS))) Also- do some searching on the net for a…

Pros- I have found the ap an invaluable tool for counting calories- which is how I primarily use it. I can't gauge how much I have eaten by hunger- so weight has crept on as I've gotten older. Since starting I have lost up to 15 lbs and maintained a 10 pound loss. I didn't lose as much as I wanted by any means; but, at…

Great! Animals are so wonderful. And I'm sure doggie enjoyed too!

Welcome. Be proud of yourself for making the first step here! Depression can make things seem impossible for sure. Keep in mind that walking and exercising can help with those symptoms sometimes. I also can relate to the lure of the sofa-- it can be very persuasive. I don't do so well with the will power concept. Ask…

Love this movie!

@Mindfull -Thanks for this added information. I think it will be invaluable to me to show my mom the next time I go to see her. Wonderful!

Fuji Apples- hands down.

Is it just one couple or a specific person who is calling you petty or is it the "bill splitter" (the person who does the math)? I would suggest having cash with a lot of change every time you go out or prepare meals with this family grouping. The bills should be split by #of people and you should pay for 1 person. If…

You look fantastic! Congratulations. This is so inspiring. I have been looking for a long time for someone with mobility challenges to show my mom that it can be done. She is disabled. I haven't been able to accomplish what you have done even with exercise! You are a rare gem. Thanks for sharing your story!

My advice is be careful if you are going to start a weight training program- much like lemongirlbc I injured myself by being too zealous- and set myself back over a year with an injured and then frozen shoulder.

LOVE THIS Anvilhead. So funny:)

Thanks guys! I am going to toss the almond milk and stick to 2 weeks after opening.

I have read all the comments and I could not feel stronger about how I would handle this situation. NEVER walk alone again to or from this gym- for the remaining time you are there. It is not fair but, I wouldn't return to the gym. His words and actions are that of someone dangerous and predatory.-- Not the inappropriate…

Deep fried foods-- most of them.

me0321 and Tiny_Dancer- thank you for your support. Yes me0321 that is helpful to hear. Thanks for the other reassurances and informative posts too; every little bit of info helps. I thought about posting this in Chit/Chat- but, decided I would find more helpful answers in a forum not filled with- "would you x with this…

I love professional basketball. I never in my life would have believed that I could become so fanatical about a game. Once you acquire a liking to it, understand the game, and appreciate the talent- some people get hooked on it. -that is what happened to me. The NBA has provided me with such enjoyment at home and I just…
