Izena Posted August 8 #1 Share Posted August 8 Sorry for late start. I’ve been working on a dietary routine. I’m doing better eliminating sweets. I haven’t weighed yet. Still struggling with activities ( poor endurance due to not feeling myself and periodic episodes of vertigo / that last for 8 hours.). Hope everyone is doing well if not cruising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 8 #2 Share Posted August 8 Thanks for starting the thread Izena. I did weigh myself this morning and I seem to be up 1.8# I am disappointed, but seem to be retaining fluids. We will see what the next week brings. Hope everyone had a good week.

HopefulCruiser123 Posted August 8 #3 Share Posted August 8 its been kind of an off day here. I am still holding steady. I have been craving sweets and feeling a little "unsettled". Jan, you might want to retest for Covid. Izena, sorry for the episodes of Vertigo. That is no fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustUs275 Posted August 9 #4 Share Posted August 9 I lost 1 lb this week, which I'm happy about. Really need to drop another 3 lbs or so to stay more in line with my maintenance goal weight. I know I can do it. I'm back to walking in the mornings, since the weather has cooled down a bit and humidity has become bearable. Izena, I hope the vertigo improves - that's hard to deal with. Jan, I feel like I'm retaining fluid too. I need to increase my water intake and cut back on salty snacks. Teri, Good for holding steady! I hope you're feeling better soon. Have a good weekend, everyone! Terri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izena Posted August 12 Author #5 Share Posted August 12 Sounds like everyone is doing well. No large gains. Get control before it gets out of hand. Weigh frequently. Im taking a meclizine daily to hopefully keep vertigo under control. I can’t handle the heat - only walking 1/4 - 1/2 mile 2x day. Haven’t gotten into routine of using gym equipment at home on a daily but have been cleaning - shampoo carpet, steam clean tile floors - some time it takes me 4 hours due to stamina. I’m excited to have eating under control. I’ve broken the square cravings and bingeing. I rarely feel hungry - I make myself eat every 4 hours. Goal is less than 1200 calories. (this year has been rough, mentally and physically— having eaten my way to a 50 lb gain) Goal to lose abt 2 lbs a week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
