    Hello everyone

    Some of us are struggling to get into the swing of things! Why is it so hard? Ive had another disappointment on the scales this morning. Ive had what I thought was a good week. Ive walked 7000 steps every day. Ive lowered my carbs and my weight is up by half a pound! I have written out a timeline for my weight loss over the next few months and end of February is supposed to read 158lb. Today it is 162! There is no way i can lose 4 lb before the end of next week! So disheartening! Just got to keep trying different things I suppose.

    Hi Shipmates!
    NOKIEIm so sorry youre still in a lot of pain,I hope that changes for you asap 🙏 I have sciatica and the nerve pain and muscle spasms are the worst thing about it,theyre hard to deal with. Sending you hugs and saying dont worry too much about low carbs for now,think ‘ damage limitation’ and just try to eat carefully and make healthy choices while your body heals.Maybe throw in a treat,you deserve it XX
    CCATHY The weather is so grey and its been so very cold. It makes me want to stay home,draw a chair up to the toaster and just live on hot buttery toast and pots of tea and other such comforts. You are being so good though with your walking and watching your carbs,you deserve to see the results you want,and its so frustrating to be only 4 lb away from the goal you have set. Maybe try weighing every day for the next week and you might find when you average it out at the end of the week that you are closer to that goal than you think? Got my fingers crossed for you! XX
    Im supposed to be maintaining but Im having gooddays/ bad days,going up/ down a pound or two,but Im blaming it all on the weather,and me being in hibernating mode. I heard someone call hibernating “ “wintering” and I like that name.
    DAWN and VERANO,Im glad to hear that your pain problems have settled down.The ship’s doctor is run off his feet looking after all our ailments! XX
    DCT Im glad your sadmin jobs are coming to an end and I hope when retirement comes you can settle into a more leisurely pace of life.XX
    I know theres more I want to say to everyone but I darent turn back a page to reread posts and lose this,but love to MARIET,SUE,POOTLE,HEIDI,FOXY,ANNIE,MIXNMATCH and everyone sailing on the high seas. On we go,onwards and downwards! XX
    We’ll soon all be out on deck enjoying the spring sunshine! 💕🩷💕💜💕

    Nokie sorry to hear about your shingles nerve pain, I hope you get some relief soon!
    Dawn glad you are feeling better 🙂
    Cathy – I can sympathise with you as my weight is staying the same despite walking 5-10,000 steps each day and definitely eating better than I was. I still have some room for improvement though so will knuckle down this week.
    Thanks for your kind words as always Yowser!
    And DCT hope you enjoy your half term break, how exciting for you that retirement is so close now!
    Have a good weekend all 🙂
