New thread

Yup Covid virginity popped.

Here's hoping first & only time. I had flu 10 years ago and this was the only comparable illness for me. Outside of strep, strep is a bastard ime. Ever since that flu I've had no time for people called a cold a flu ( you might remember my chronic malingering workmate who cried flu like the boy who cried wolf) Covid kicked my fat ass

tis indeed hideous

For bloating I recommend gentle tummy clenches.

At parents house today. Dad confirmed COVID a few days ago, mam yesterday, daughter showing symptoms now so will it just be a matter of time for me? Daughter only had it a few months ago as well.

Damn crisps will be the death of me, lots of them while sitting out in the sun. Scale flux of 2.4, grrr. It's not adjusted my average lose to .5 for the week, hoping the flux flips off earlier in the week than usual. Sooo want to get into the 167's and stay there until I see the 166's. Of course going out for cake & dinner later will probably hinder that a bit but you only live once, after a crap week + of Covid I have no regrets.

The hot weather will also cause a flux not as well. You will get there but not this week . And that’s ok

Evening everyone
l don't know about you all but my feet swell in this heat and l am sure it causes e to put on at least 2/3 lbs it's all bloody fluid retention and bloat such a pita !
Food has been ok here just cold ham salad & chicken salad tbh
Been really hot here but l have been fine just not done a lot tbh because of the heat , one day down two to go
Life hope you are getting bettter lovely
not Flu is horrible , a cold is nothing in comparison , you are so right ! Bugger the crisps & dinner out , you will get it back after this hot weather and then you will be flying
Talk God your DD has been unlucky , l hope you don't get it
Take care everyone

Yes i swell in the heat, feet and hand. Definitely bloates me.

lots of ch this weekend and about 3590 steps both days. No taste anymore or appetite

Up early and got nearly 13,000 steps before work. Glad I got it done as wayyy to hot to walk now. I feel like I'm back in the Canaries! Scales down a smidge, granted it was after the walk, bit cheaty but I wanted as much bloat post meal out gone.
Typical I didn't lose much of my appetite, I'd need a muzzle to stop me eating! Shouldn't complain, it sounds miserable life, I hope you'll start to turn a corner as the week goes on

That’s an amazing amount of steps not.

Thanks, a bit too much tbh, I was knackered getting home but they're in the bag now. Ended the day on a smidge under 1700 cals which is perfect for a Monday. You feeling any better as the day went on life? Blinking hell this heat though

Not that’s a crazy amount of steps before work!

I went for my scan(s) today. Everything looks normal (apart from a teeny cyst on an ovary - scan man said they typically don’t concern them unless they’re 3cm or more. This was less than 1cm).

autoimmune bloods back and normal. So i guess….it’s just wonky periods.

I’ve done basically nothing today. Food wise have been relatively good. Oats for breakfast then a couple of slices of pizza and loads of veggies for lunch. Chicken salad for dinner.

was at dparents today sweltering in the heat. Dm always does either a fruit plate or a veggie plate for the kids. Todays was veggie. Carrot sticks celery cucumber peppers broccolis baby corns sugar snaps yum.

That’s good news about the tests em. Has it settled your mind a bit?

im not surprise you were shattered not
im feeling better yes, first time I can really say that. Though got a weird dizzying feeling going on now.
another rest day then back to reality tomorrow
still no appetite or sense of taste though

It's good you're on the mend, don't try to get back to normal too quickly - this dose will knock you on your arse if you overdo it.
No early morning trek today, might go after my cuppa to get a few steps under the belt. Scales back up to 171, definitely fluid retention, had a salty dinner last night which doesn't help. Bit frustrating but c'est la vie

it’s the heat and the salt and you know it

Yeah true, hard to never see an end to it though.
7,500 done and salad bought for the dinner

It's much hotter today here 🙄
I came home from MumBobs and got in the bath washed my hair and have left it wet on my head 😂
Am in my loose nighty too it's bliss ☺️
Great going Not well done lovely ignore the SOD 👏☺️
Em that's wonderful news l am so happy for you 💐
Life that's excellent news you are on the mend , hope you are feeling fully yourself very soon 💐
Been fine here not eating much because it's so hot you just don't feel like anything ☺️
Hope everyone is ok waves to everyone ☺️

This heat is hard going! Still v tired at points so the mornings steps were all I got done, just in under 1700 cals. I could eat for Ireland so I've banished myself to bed, watching old Biggest Loser seasons on YouTube. They were brutal to them, the amount of weight lost each week (or two apparently) was shocking. Quite exhausting just watching it😂

I’m feeling the lack of sleep
just like I have a cold now so back to work today. See how I go

Still no appetite, lots of salts yesterday as drinking literally gallons

no weight. No tracking, Monday will be the day

Good luck at work today life
Another early morning work but only 10,000'ish so not as tiring. Had a good breakfast and now need to get some work done, it's very quiet and I'm not v driven at the moment

I’m missing my afternoon nap

I'd leave early but I'm an absolutely dreadful employee😂
Over 15,000 after taking the kids out for lunch, lovely grub but I've motored through a lot of cals. I've around 300 left after dinner if I opt for my higher calorie limit

Well done Not you are doing so well 🤗👏
Life hope you feel much better soon Lovely 💐
Its much better here today thank God 🙏
I have been fine today thanks for small mercies 😊

Much cooler here today thankfully, should sleep better. Good to hear you're keeping well mrs, I've my EP over tomorrow for the first time since before I was sick. I've seen him of course, just missed our usual overnight. So let's see if absence improves my patience😂 Doubtful....
Kitchen closed at around 1900 cals, not bad considering the day I've had. Initially thought it was under but remembered a couple of cake samples bites in fancy deli I bought our lunch in. Honestly it's amazing the stuff that slips through with barely no notice! Enough of those bites here & there easily adds up
