I haven't really done much on purpose but um..haven't smoked much/next to nothing in February so, that's good, I guess.
Also might go out today, that's healthy lol.

PS: Not really trying to gain or lose weight, just saying...But oh, I mean, I think I eat more when I don't smoke, but that's good. I am underweight.

Thanks for the tag @sassy123

I've sort of ground to a halt in February but I've managed not to gain anything so that's good. I need to get back on it and lose half a stone as I've been invited onto a medical trial for depression but I'm just out of the weight range for their criteria.

I hope you lose the weight to get on the trial. Yeah not gaining is also good

Thanks for the tag @sassy123 ! I had a chance meeting with a nutritionist when I visited my doctor so now I have someone on my side as I try to get more foods in my diet. Feeling quite positive even if instead of chocolate chip cookies, oat biscuits are now my obsession! I still have a bad knee but it's much better so I'm doing exercises to get some muscle mass back. I've got lunch recipes so I don't eat snacks and I've lost a couple of pounds without trying to lose anything. I had itchy lips a couple of weeks ago which I now know is caused by eating salmon. So a few positives at the moment which I'm pleased about because January and February weren't too good

I didn't know that, about the salmon. Thanks for the tidbit @BlueGreen

Thanks for the tag @sassy123. Do you want to lose or maintain? I want to maintain and would like to walk more. I think I eat too many sweets too. Bad, bad bad

 

[cymbele]

Still stalled at the weight I was in November. I am either not logging what I am eating or I don't know. My labs came back and while my bad cholesterol went waaaaay down and other good things happened. The dietitian said all the good things were the result of me stepping up my exercise but then I got sick. Another doctor suggested that I was gaining muscle. All seem to say that the rest of the bad results would come down if I lost the weight...But now i have to keep going on exercise and diet; I hope it doesn't come down to fasting. But other than being sick this week I have been feeling good.

Maintaining is half the battle at times. Walking is so good for a person people should really try and walk more it’s really good for your overall health. I think a person needs a few sweets in their diet just in moderation like I like to have on snack size treat a day just something small to satisfy the craving

I keep gaining weight because of my meds. I have got to really try hard not to overeat.

I think labs tell the best part of the story. I know my labs all got better with exercise. I think weight is a funny thing and yes muscles do weight more. I think if you are happy with where you are at don’t worry about it when I was at the weight the charts want me at I worked out three hours a day and at my lowest my mom was worried I did not weigh enough.

Yes, now I'm thinking dark chocolate with fruit and nuts in it. Here on East Coast USA its starting ti get darker later n warmer so walking should be easier. No excuses, ha. Thank you for this thread. It's something to look forward to

Good that your cholesterol went down and that you're feeling good @cymbele.
