You got it, girlfriend! keep makin' the rockin' world go round! I'm proud of you!
Nothing to feared of my friend! Show your colours!
Happy Belated Birthday and congrats on reaching your goal!
You're doing great!
Is there a cat in the back on the second photo?
SO happy I walked 6 miles today. So glad I exercised so much in Nebraska and raised my activity level! My #1 goal since I started enjoying hiking (even before joining Darebee) was to walk 8 miles in one go. I'm almost there now!
Do you measure your weight daily? It can be frustrating, I got rid of that.I'll do what I can!
I appreciate that
Yep, that's my cat Skippy! He's a big fluffy boii.
• Aos - Day 18 complete!
• Hiking - 6 miles (twas originally 5.5, but I lost ma hat and had to go back to find it. Thank goodness it was only a quarter mile down the trail!)
Weight: 258.8 - OW, that's a painful weight fluctuation. Guessing it's partially because of that time of the month

If you do, measure it once a week, it might be more rewarding as the body weight can fluctuate with many variables.
I understand your point of view!I measure it daily for 2 reasons:
Fake reason - It's interesting to see how it fluctuates day by day
Real reason - I find it difficult not to, the scale is just right there, and on some occasions I'll check my weight 5 times a day just to see how it's gone up or down after eating or going to the restroom
I'm really not that upset about the weight fluctuations. Back when I first lost weight in September 2018 - November 2019, I measured daily and it worked alright. It also is working out fine now, so I don't feel like I need to change it. My comments of frustration and the mad emoji are lighthearted, though I know that's very difficult to tell in text
I appreciate the help though!
Your fluctuations may be because of your calorie deficiency... As you improve physically, your body usually demands more calories, but you're not feeding that demand. So, "self-preservation mode" is happening, and your body's freaking out and doesn't know what to make of it... Menstruation doesn't help... However, fluctuations are also why it is advised to only weigh yourself once a week. One thing's certain, though: Your body's changing. So, the way you fluctuate daily may change as well.... KEEP IN MIND that I'm not a professional, and I am only speaking based on my own limited understanding.
Weekly weight-ins did not work for me. If I "caught" a "bad" weight, it had much more impact, cause it was the only one in 13 days, practicaly.
Everyone is different and has different experiences, the only thing that works, is the one that works for you.
Yeah, I feel the same as @HellYeah. If you do daily weigh ins and calculate the weekly average, you get a much better feel than doing weekly weigh ins and catching the single one bad day of the week.
Love your high-energy stories, btw
Really sorry to hear about what happened. It's heart-breaking when someone who should really have our back betrays us. I think making tough decisions in relation to our parents can be one of the hardest things; a recipe for all kinds of emotions. Well, don't be too hard on yourself. It sounds like you've learned something from this that you can carry with you next time you're at a fork-in-the-road involving your mom.
Despite what many people say, blood isn't thicker than water when it comes to the family we've been given. There's nothing wrong with cutting a member out of your life if it's far from a good relationship. The sad thing is that most people who have someone like this in life do it very late, because we think that we have to stick with family.
I'm sorry that you had to go through this, but I hope you'll come out stronger and more content. Good to hear that your binge was smaller than usual. You're doing great, really.
hey, hope you feel up again soon!Feeling pretty down today
