Hi @alligatorob .
I have been doing well. I haven't checked my weight the last few days. I have been sort of drained for various reasons lately. But I do keep focusing on eating healthy. I hope my weight will reflect that. Hopefully I can get back to my gym habit. I have fallen out of it lately due to not feeling great and being busy. Hopefully things will settle down for me and I can get back to my active lifestyle.

Hey, it is what it is, if you don't feel well its not your fault (except for hangovers). Most of us have times we don't feel good, just take care of yourself and focus on feeling better.
I´m reminded of this post:
Could it be that you´re either not eating enough/balanced or not resting enough? If not it may just be autumn, dark, and kind of sucky. Hope you feel better soon!

Hi guys. I have been MIA a few days. I got really carried away with some promotion-related issues at work. Good news is I got the raise I wanted. But still in shock from the situation. I almost thought I would have to find a new career. But in the end it worked out in my favor. I just hope I can calm down a little from it all. I think I need stop thinking about it a few days.
My health has been a bit better lately. One thing that helped was improving my singing quality to out less stain on my voice. I think the strain was causing inflamation. Now my tone quality is much better too.
I am down to my lowest 242.6. I haven't been worrying as much about weight loss lately, but I continue to slowly lose. I am excited to get down into 230-240 range. I got there a few years ago when I was biking to work everyday and dieting. But I was never able to get under 233. That was when my job crisis arose and I threw out my health goals. So it's exciting to be near that weight again.

Wow, good for you!
That's excellent as it shows you've made structural changes that no longer require much thought. Great sign for the future!
Woah! What a full-on update! The work business sounds really high-intensity - well done on navigating your way through it - and coming out with a raise as well!
Just the stress alone could have set many a WLF member back, but you managed not only to maintain your equilibrium in the workplace turmoil but to continue weight loss and manage your singing voice for both better health and better singing. Really well done, you! Warm congratulations on all scores.

Hello. @aiminglow I think I HAVE gotten set back a little. I have been under a lot of stress lately since I asked for the raise. I think it must have been a little traumatic. To be honest I have been a little weak, indulging a bit in sugary things, like more sweetened coffee and some cakes and pies. I also stopped checking my weight for a few days because I was a little overwhelmed with the stress. But I feel like I am starting to get a grip.
I checked my weight. It went up a to 246.2, which isn't that bad considering the stessed-out state I have been in. Despite all the stress and the setback in my weightloss, I am making a come-back now. I will cut back on the sweeteners again. And since my classes as are done for the next few months, I will try to focus on getting to the gym more, which will help me feel better.
Most importantly, I will keep active and connected on here so that I can keep it real and keep up my motivation. You guys are a great community for me. I really appreciate knowing someone is listening and cares about my situation.

Hi, Kyle. Well done on getting the raise. It's good to see that you recognise the dangers of stress on your overall health & have taken steps to get right back on track. Your health should have the highest priority. I think this is a great supportive community too and it is good to feel that people understand how hard it is to lose weight & keep it off.
"a little traumatic"? I bet it was, if you weren't even sure if it was going to have to end in parting ways with the job! Yes, not surprising that you felt the need to bolster yourself with something sweet, especially if the weather's changing to cool. Good for you, in taking a breath, re-assessing the situation, and buckling down to the major healthy-you project again!

And we miss you at the Club, our president needs to come back!
Makes 246 look pretty good. You have done well, I am sure you can keep doing well!

I have been focusing on lowering my stress levels through relaxing activities. Now I feel like I am in a healthy state of mind to really hone in on my weight loss. So I've decided to redetermine my goal.
I made a new year resolution to reach 200 by the end of 2020. That would be 46 pounds less than I am now. I would be super happy to be around 200. Haven't been down there since high school pretty much. So I want to cut out dairy again as I have noticed it has some bad side effects, like more skin issues and bloated belly. I think that will help push me in a good direction and it will be challenging enough. 230s here I come.

A very reasonable and achievable goal. I am looking forward to watching you do it!
