gain goal regain How was your 5:2 day today?

[Georgia 2,908]

Well, I guess we all kinda had a tough weekend in some ways. Feels good to have peeps, doesn't it?

Trying to get back in the groove today and it ain't easy but so far so good.

And OD, as to numbness. I agree with Swizzly. I had full hysto in 2000. I had this weird numb but painful spot in my right upper THIGH. Do you know it was numb and burned until I noticed a while after losing weight in 2011 that it was gone??!!!! Eleven years later. And 100 lbs later. Gone. Duh!!!!????

Oh, and Cathy, I received your hug! Thanks!

LV, you didn't send me a pumpkin granola bar. )).

I had 2 C sections with my kids who are 29 and 32 and I still have numbness around the scar. I know the nerves were cut in my face so who knows if they will ever grow back. I really hate it though.

thanks for your kind words ladies, hubby also thought about the sickness bug that is going around 'cos the nausea doesn't usually last this long...sigh

Finished my fast day looking pretty good - cuppa Soups all the way as I couldn't face actually eating! No idea how many cals but under the 500 I would guess.

Cathy, your relaxing weekend sound lovely... hope MIL in ok! Don't stress too much over the same weight, I have the same pattern... seems like I will lose 1-3 lbs over say a week or two, then hold and see a lil bounce for 2 -3 weeks then a few more will go - repeat as necessary! As long as it is coming off we are winning, right! And thanks for the cwtch (hug) twas lush!

numbness is so weird - around my TT scar is the same, yet I have some sensation around my new belly button! Strange!

OD - wanted to answer your ? about cals on fast day...here is my fast day today.

Leftover chicken breast (for breakfast...I usually have egg beaters) 90

BBQ Sauce for the chicken 15

lunch was a hard boiled egg 78 cals

dinner was 92% lean grnd beef with taco seasoning 142 cals

Mexican style shredded cheese 54

Light sour cream 36

Snacks were 2 peppermint candies (like those soft melt-in-your-mouth kind) 34 calories

More coffee to last me through support group 23 (cals from my FF creamer again)

TOTAL

Sorry I did a copy and paste from my food log and it didn't really work so I retyped this. I apologize looks kind of funny.

Anyway Calorie Count says it was 27 g carbs, 52 of prot and 22 from fat!

Anyway, hope the rest of you had great days!

Good morning, Loveys! Finished off Monday around 800 cal with about 300 burned. Now starting fast day 1!

Raining all day here! I love rain but have to travel tonight in it. Don't like that so much!

Everybody have a great day!

[sarsar 824]

It's a rainy day here, too. Glad its rain instead of snow! Not looking forward to the snow.

Fast day went great yesterday. I ended with 550 calories.

We DID get snow today! Aaargh!

It's just cold enough, and they are (so far) gentle little flakes floating through the air. But I wore my warmup jacket ALL the way thru my weight class and only took it off once I got into spin.

And I took a quick peek at the scale and saw a new low weight! I'm not calling it yet, because I like to see it a few times in a row before calling it but man I *needed* to see that. If it sticks that will make -12lbs since mid-July.

Wow! Thank God we aren't in South Dakota. They are really suffering. Many ranchers there have lost over half of herds.

Congrats on the new low!!!! You are a dynamo!!

[No game 14,437]

I hadn't heard about South Dakota

M2G good news on the scale!!

surgeon said I am burning 2x as many cals as normal to heal, I am hungry but the super tight garments limit intake..Maybr corsets were for appetiter control.

Said he took about 5.5.# skin and I didnt have enough fat to Lipo out and inject in butt. thats ok,,,, fine how it is.

Surgery was easy,,, day after kinda sucks but everything is normal.

Good news! And damn not enough fat to Lipo? That's pretty cool:)

Perhaps I'll start wearing a corset on fast days!

Or a muzzle

Glad you are hanging in there.
