Well done on losses, commiserations on gains and both for both.
I have not weighed myself for ages.... I have been looking after my parents all weekend. super stressful. Thankfully back home.

Thank you Not & Gen* l am much better Thank God
Gen such a pain but l am so glad you are well with it lovely
My DN , her Ds and Dd and partner all have Covid , tested positive today.
The only symptom a bit snotty and no taste but you could think that was a cold . They are in isolation for 10 days and are so pleased they will be ok for Christmas bless them
Just had chicken stir fry , it was lovely . Fridges nearly empty now so l am going to give them a good clear out and clean before the Christmas food goes in
I am hoping to keep this IF up till Christmas Eve fingers crossed . I want to get back to in in the New Year if l can
Not that bloat will go asap l am sure
Hope your back is much better lovely

Done alright food wise today. Not tracked but nowt overly bad

Ah boo gen. Use it as a chance for r&r

Thanks all! Am having a pretty nice time tbh eating yummy food and playing animal crossing 😂
I think DH brought it in from work not I’m finished now for the term but he went to a works Xmas do on Thursday and lost his sense of taste on Friday - he said his dinner tasted weird and I thought it was just my dodgy cooking then he woke up with no taste at all on Saturday.
I’m completely asymptomatic, sadly have not lost my sense of taste and am eating all the treats I can get my hands on! 😂
We are due out of isolation on 19th so should be fine to go to NI for Xmas thank god! And actually this means hopefully we won’t catch it again for a bit so Sweden more likely to go ahead too in Jan, as long as borders stay open.

After the year that's been gen, you relax and enjoy everything you can. It's only 6 more days and great you can still head home for Christmas.
Sore'ish throat and a bit achey after new weights routine/jog/walk/house stuff/walk etc. So off to bed to listen to an audiobook and hopefully not wake between 3-4am (a'bloody'gain)

I got til 4.50am. Scales 164.6
I'm pretty achey after doing that different weights workout so might have a bit of retention.

I have been feeling nauseous today so l read up about it and apparently it is because l may be a bit dehydrated so l had a Dioralte sachet and feel miles better now Yay!
Gen so glad you are ok and like you say there is the great chance you will be able to go to NI/Sweden and really enjoy yourselves
Not that isn't bad at all well done
I am just back from MUmBobs and sorted out my food cupboard , l had so much ODD stuff l filled 2 black bags !!
l should be ashamed of myself but l vow not to do it again!

Just back from a 45 min slog/jog - I'm wrecked! Lying on the couch for 5 mins to get my breath back, blooming hell.
I've been doing clear outs too mrs, the habit of chucking stuff out of sight out of mind has lead to buying multiples of stuff🤦‍♀️ Ugh

This cold has not buggered off. Been doing aerobics still but might give today a skip? Or not

Signing back in. Struggling as I've got a shoulder problem so having to be careful what exercise I do. Am still over a stone down but not close to where I wanted to be. Will try to get back to regular posting. The accountability helps.

Scales in the 163's today. My rate of loss according to happy scales is .01 a week. I suppose I just keep chugging along - if I'm barely loosing with decent effort, I certainly know how fast I can gain without it. Seriously pissed off though to be honest.
Sorry you're still sick life, maybe give yourself a rest so you can recover.
Good luck north, always worth keeping company with like minded people.

Life I would give it a skip and give your body a chance.

North well done on checking in

Not I feel that too I'd be gaining if I wasn't keeping an eye on things.

EMOM class & 50,40,30,20,10,20,30,40,50.
I'm wiped, I wasn't feeling too hot this afternoon but pushed myself to go

I won't go sat morn as I'm going out for dinner on fri night.

Life hope you are feeling better lovely
North hope your shoulder gets better soon
Happier that sounds so hard to do well done!
Not yes it really sucks doesn't it .l know the feeling but it is so hard to keep it off all the time
Was upset today my Mum was horrible to me and l nearly gave in to comfort eating but l didn't because l thought about it rationally and decided there was no point to it !

Had to look up Emom happier, wow that sounds tough, go you! Dinner out on Friday will be nice, defo wouldn't be planning a class like that the next morning.
I did another workout with dumbbells today and a bit of cardio, was pretty tough. Then tried to do a slog/jog but was wayyy too much slog so had to settle for a walk. Finished the day on 1850.
Oh mrs, I'd be tempted to tell her to piss off but then I'm a woman on the edge these days. Turn the other cheek & keep the gob shut, to angry words or too much comfort food. But you can have a little comfort food if you have calories to spare😉

Thank you Not you are so kind
I didn't say anything, if l started l would not be able to finish tbh
You are doing great re the cals and the exercise, keep it going it will show and besides that, think how good it is for your body & health
I had to look up EMOM too such hard work l am in awe of Happier

You did well to keep quiet mrs.
Bang on 163 today, average weight & actual weight. I had thought I'd manage a jog before I have to start my day but not in the humour. I might go after doing ep errands this afternoon.

Not thank you lovely l tried my best
Your weight is good you will reap the reward at tomorrows weigh in l betcha
I have been busy as per and have been so good today re the food thank you God . I feel much better too. Still nauseous on times but l put that down to a combo of the Amlodipine and IF. An elecrolyte sachet and l am good to go immediately

Cheeky beggars mrs

Thanks mrs, I could do with a whoosh that's for sure. Finished the day on 1400, being busy is key. Tired now despite only getting a short walk in and no jog.

@lifelongfrugaleer

Cheeky beggars mrs

I know Life l am speechless sometimes at the sheer selfishness of the two of them tbh . I so hope l am not like them when l am elderly l wouldn't want to put my own Dds through it

@Not2bObvious

Thanks mrs, I could do with a whoosh that's for sure. Finished the day on 1400, being busy is key. Tired now despite only getting a short walk in and no jog.

That is excellent Not fingers crossed for a great weigh in tomorrow

Fingers crossed for a whoosh
That was the polite version mrs

Which this cold would do one. Getting 11-12k steps a day. CBS to weight and track as I know food is not great

Scales had varying numbers but settled on 162.6, so no whoosh yet. Happy scales informed me there could be no prediction of current losses as there'd been no recent progress - rude! I am being tested for sure.
Sorry you're still stuck with that cold life, decent steps there - good for you. I'm nowhere near the 12,000-15,000 I used to do, although that was a good while ago. I just don't have that kind of energy anymore - this stage of life is flooring me. I kind of feel maybe unfairly what I'm doing should be enough but clearly my overall calories are a bit too high. Losing 1-2lb a month is all that's possible
