Sooo... How are you today?

juliah, I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! :-) I hope you get your teaching job! Please keep us posted on how that goes.

Dais, I agree with mp... I think you might be ready for some circuit training. That really does work it out! I'm personally still trying to get back to my pre-surgery form. I'm pulling in an hour a day but only about 3-4 days per week. I'd like to get it back up to 6 days per week.

Myself, I'm a little bummed the weekend is already over. My family has made their way back home to LA and the house is quiet yet again. I gained a half pound this weekend!!! :blink: Whoopss!!! It could just be the normal ups and downs of the scale. I don't usually check myself on the weekend, so I'm not sure. Either way, it won't hurt to make sure I'm back on track 100%!!! Okay, it's back to life. Actually as of today - but since I'm back at work tomorrow I can really make sure I'm having a perfect day.

I just don't know how much damage I can do only being able to eat a few bites of this or that. However, my body is not used to eating a whole lot of carbs, which regrettably I did eat for Thanksgiving. Not even a smidge as much as I would have before, but still... I did eat them. Aaannyyway, I just need to own it and GET RIGHT!!!!

I bought some Levi's in size 8. Yes, my goal pants. They were on sale for half off at Kohls so how could I resist. They are totally adorable... AND SO TINY!!! I'm in 18's fully now and most 16's. I even fit a pair of 14's but I think those are a fluke... lol - but still!! Being that I started in 28's, it's safe to say I'm halfway there. Whooot!!! :)

Globetrotter you should get your thyroids tested, if your thyroids aren't working as they should that could slow down your weight loss big time :(

I had my thyroid tested 2 years ago and they said I was on the high side of normal, that yes someday it might turn into Hashimotos. They cannot do thyroid testing out here, I believe, but I will check again.

As for how I'm doing today, that's easy: if the scale shows a loss, then it's a good day. If it doesn't, then it isn't. Today it didn't.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
