[jules1981]

Hi I am 43

I am cal counting. As it fits in with my lifestyle. I have lost weight before in multiple ways ( not all healthy )

I have multiple physical and Mental health condition.

I am at my highest weight EVER. It effects my mobility I use a mobility scooter. I am waiting for my MRI scans on my back and knees as am in pain I barley hit 1500-2000 steps 3 x a week. My goal is to increase this depending on MRI results

I will TRY to update daily to keep me accountable.

I am a coffee lover

MY next hol is fitst week of summer hols i would like to get to 355 lbs by 20th July That's 3.2 lbs a week. I NEED goals. But I also need the in chunks.

I am OK with today.

SHOULD of drank more am doing a pint of squash then water. Also obviously had coffee and coke need to drink MORE. I KNOW I loose more when drinking more. I don't know why I just do.

Need more fruit and veg. For nutritional value, bulk, Fiber and health benefits

OK with Cals, protein and Fiber today. I know hitting my Fiber goals I cope with cal counting better. Obviously Fiber is healthy.

Tricky tom out to hungry horse. I am just tempted to have my fav-halloumi as a starter then eat later.

I know it's not for everyone, but I have to admit that I've taken a big step away from the scales. My weight was fluctuating so much, it started to feel counterintuitive! As I say though, I know it's not for everyone

Finger's crossed the cold stays away, and hope physio goes well today. Ankle pain is the worst. I turned mine at rugby on Tuesday.

Yep I wish I could. But when I step away for me I just go off track. I can't weigh in today or tom. So next day will be mon. At 1 point that would cause huge anxiety- or the scales would come with us. But then I wouldn't believe them ( I have a history with an ED my MH team know, ED services won't help as they blame my MH and my bloodworm is occasionally off) but yep well done for stepping away. I hope to get to a place where I can step down to weighing weekly.

Ouch that sounds painful hun

Physio was ok. He dosent really want to do anything till MRIs are back. He's given me 3 exercises to do.

Ah that's fair enough. I'm often loathe to mention it, because there are myriad reasons that it doesn't work for everyone. The lack of joined up thinking amongst services is SO frustrating at times.

It sounds as though that's already a big step for you, being okay not to weight whilst you're away.

No thank you I appreciate any advice. Yes unfortunately it's frustrating I have to take letters to appointments because they unfortunately aren't all linked. But we go with it.

Yep I did hop on last night was 370 ish. I didn't actually let it read. It was jumping. I just got off and carried on with my treat day. As I have 1 day a week extra. Its set on nutra check. I actually added another 494 cals with sweets. But STILL within cals. But forgot to update as it was like 2.40am.

Sorry kinda been off track. Am under crisis home treatment team for my MH. They are trying to get me into a crisis house. I will weigh in tom. As am at my parents to try and keep safe as OH had early morning plans and I am not sleeping so just easier to stay here to keep safe.

Am back tracking today. Hoping OH can take me to aldi to get some bits that feel 'safe'.

Had a keifer yog at mums today.

Sorry to hear Jules, but glad that you have people around to help. Hopefully they can get you into a crisis house soon. Thinking of you x
