Hey Girls.....
lots of great posts!!!
I have to admit though....when I read so many ,I let them run together, so I can't speak to many with a name to it....
..... but I totally agree that was an awesome thing to do, Snoozie . We may have all done the same, but I know not many others would. They would have been in too much of a hurry.
I agree with you
Vail on the insta pot....it must be that we already cook well lol!! so to us it is.... meh! lol
Susan, 2nd shift is GREAT!! I love it! wish I had started it as soon as I moved to this new job....it would have been so much less stressful!
Suzy!! Such a great reason for a trip together!! .....fingers crossed no one in the family finds out that you know too early!
Busy times here...so gotta go.
Best wishes to you all!

Gail! So good to see you and glad you were able to pop in!! Thrilled you are loving the 2nd shift and that it's far less stressful for you - awesome!!!
Today was a GOOD morning in Snoozieville - had my 3 month checkup at the doc; everything was down (only 1 point on my A1C from 7.2 to 7.1 - but it was still down ha!! Kidney has stopped leaking (pretty sure thats due my stopping all ibuprofen based painkillers) and BP was great... iron was the only thing that is still at the very lowest end of the normal scale, so another 3 months on supplements and if no change, the dreaded colonoscopy again but that's ok.. at least this time i'll know what to expect if i have to have it!! and who knows maybe i've always had low iron and just didnt know it!
AND on the way out.. she (my doc) casually tosses out "oh and your weight is looking great btw".. i said thank you ... and why can't every visit be like this with us?" huh? huh? she just laughed.. anyway defintely this is one of the visits that will help motivate me to keep working on getting what i want for myself! On which note I better go get a few groceries before getting ready for work... 2nd shift this week for me too Gail - mornings free are lovely aren't they!!

Hi Gail! Glad you’re enjoying the shift change so much!
Snoozie, great news on the doctor visit! Your hard work is paying off! What a great motivator, too!
1 -
Excellent news on the Dr. visit. Snooze!! Not sure I knew about the kidney, but I am glad it is repairing itself.
Thank you, Suzy!!
I need to see where I am on the A1C scale...it may be dreadful again...
But I am hoping the weight loss will help with that. it's what the doctors tell me anyway....I think it is just their way to try and get me to stop eating!!...LOl
scale says I am down another 2 lbs....but I am going to get new batteries to be sure...it flickered and paled a bit so I am not positive yet.
I do love not having to start waking up at 5:30 just to get out of bed by 6:30.....but I can't go to sleep until 2:00 in the morning and sleep until 10:00 or 10:30..
I go in at 2:00 unless they ask me to come earlier.
ok time for home now.
Bye bye
G1 -
Gail that's awesome on the 2lbs - well done you! very glad the 2nd shift is working for you girl!
I am slightly frustrated (but not crazy yet lol) that the scale is NOT moving; I've been playing pickleball almost every day for at least 1.5 or 2 hrs, and eating "well" and not pigging out ...and then goign to work so i'm till moving there... so WHAT the hell LOL... altho i did notice today my shorts are a little loose... so perhaps its body recomposition happening a bit.. which i'll take instead of the scale if that's the case.. but i may have to start the dreaded logging again to see if i'm eating more than i "think" i am... i am still struggling with waiting too long to eat... so maybe i am eating more than i think when i do .... oh well... i know i'm dehydrated for sure and need to drink more.... i'm guessing wine doesnt count huh? hahaha..
last shift tonite then I'm off for 2 weeks - so a happy camper for sure!! hope everyone is having a good week!0 -
Hang in there Snoozie! It will show up on the scale eventually but having your clothes fit a bit looser is a huge motivator! What are your plans for the two weeks off?
I’ve not been making great choices lately but not really going off the deep end either. I think I’ve got the summer doldrums. It’s hot and humid and I want ice cream and wine (not a great combo 😂)!

Yes, Suzy!! That pic is so true. I spent so many years giving up when I went off the wagon. Now I just get up, dust myself off and keep on moving forward...it is finally paying off.
I think the Metformin kept me from losing before. now it is finally moving.
Snoozie, awesome news on the looser fitting clothes!! that is more important than any number on a scale! You got this!
Have a great time on your two weeks off!
I am trying to hold onto one week of pto until the end of the year. fingers crossed it will work out.
Have an awesome weekend y'all.

Congratulations on your check-up, Snoozie! And nice that your doctor appreciates your work on the weight! How frustrating that the scale isn't moving now. I know we've talked before about set points ... I also think there's something about going into new lows - my body seems to be very reluctant to edge downwards below it's comfort zone - lol! I wonder if there's some of that going on as well as the body recomposition. Well done on your impressive activity levels!
Congratulations on your weight loss, Gail! Hopefully your A1c results will be good too - yes, I'm always hearing that weight loss is the thing these days.
Thanks for the picture, Suzy! So true! I am frustrated, but I know well that if I "relax" and start eating "normally", I'll pile on the weight pretty quickly. At the moment, I am still trying to lose weight that I gained in the spring.
I'm still going to Slimming World - thinking of giving it up, partly because of the expense, and because of the difficulty of getting to the sessions, and they are so long .... However, if I do stick to it AND be careful with my portions and so on, it does seem to help to lose weight. I'm trying to keep up with writing down what I eat. As a daily weigher, I do get frustrated with the reliance on weekly weights. Supposedly I lost 3lb last week, so I know I'll have a gain this week, and they'll assume I've been overeating, when it just really depends which day I weigh. Anyway, 3lb is a deficit of 1500 calories a day, which if it was true, would mean I'd have been eating nothing, and I shouln't really be applauded for that! But as it is, it's just my normal weight fluctuation. I do think there is a very slow downward trend, though.
I'm back at the gym now, so in constant pain - lol! I'm trying to go after work, partly to make me finish work on time as the class is booked, and partly so that it feels like doing it on my way home rather than a special trip. I have to adapt some of the exercises, but it's got to be good doing something! I wish I could find something I loved like your pickleball, Snoozie!1 -
Suzy - that sign literally stopped me from going off last nite!! i love it.. ty! I actually stopped at a drugstore to pick up a bag - yep i caved on the way home from work cause it was a busy night and i was just in a bad mood lol... i went in and there were about 10 people in line and i was like omg no... but i still went to the aisle.... but.. being a drugstore they were charging almost $4 for a bag and i thot to myself.... are you really gonna pay that for CHIPS lol.. and then wait in line at 11pm at night?? so i left without em but i had every intention of finding SOMETHING else at home (altho i knew there wouldnt be much as i have not been buying anything to keep me out of trubble!) But i logged on while i was rooting thru the place and saw the sign.. AND i thought yup yup yup.. crap...... so i had one fudgeo cookie instead to soothe my frayed nerves LOL... so thank you! i may make that my screensaver on my laptop!
Vail i completely agree about the set point.. my body is fighting me hard to break thru the weight i've been "set" at since the regain.. its like it's simply refusing to cooperate - i can picture my body with its arms folded shaking its head saying nope not gonna do it... so the fight is on as to which of us will win hahahaha
I think i told you about that one day i weighed myself every 3 hrs and showed a difference of almost 5 pounds thru the day - so i totally agree with your frustration over the weeklyl thing.. but i get the decision to stay or go with the SW is a tough one.. wowsa on the gym!!!! i love that you're using your time there to make sure you leave work on time LOL.. and that you don't have to go out again if you go on the way home.. great ideas! I should still be doing some gym work especailly strength training - the pb is good exercise but doesnt address the strength training/muscle retention probs so good on ya for hitting the gym!
Gail - are you not on the metformin anymore??? or did you mean now that your body has adjusted to it you are finding u can lose weight? I know someone told me when i was first put on it many people lose weight - i wasnt one of them!
Suzy - i can totally relate to the summer doldrums - i did have a laugh at the combo of ice cream and wine tho... my summer drink is a frozen lime margarita.. only in the summer and only on an outdoor patio, and the only thing that has saved me this year is i havent hit any patios... wahhhhhh! But i will definitely be taking myself out to lunch at some point while i'm on vacay and there will be a margarita!! somehow tuna and salad just doesnt cut it some days, eh?? maybe you could invent a wine flavoured ice cream? even if it doesnt go commerical sale, it would be a fun (and drunken) experiment!! Hang in there!!
I'm going to get dressed and drop by the pb court close to me.. not sure if anyone will be playing today but thats ok - i'm a little stiff today and a walk at the lake might be a better choice anyway... but either way it'll have to start with me getting dressed LOL...
let's not forget to be kind to ourselves Hatters - every day we do something good for ourselves.. whether its one good food choice over another, moving our parts a little when we don't feel like it... or making a cup of tea and watching some bad tv for some R and R... we're all doing the best we can and while some days we may do better than others, we are all still here and still working on ourselves - and that says a LOT!! so whatever it is that you need to bring a small joy to your day and to help you appreciate the wonderfulness of you, take it/do it/get it/be it! Cause we are all indeed SO much more than just a number on a scale, right?? /hugs all around2 -
Still here... 14 show up days... then 6 days vacation... and she's retired 31 August 😎🤷♀️😂
My replacement can reach out to me until 31 August...
Then sorry...
Carol in Jersey1 -
Congrats on your retirement Carole - i know how exciting it is as my last day of work is Aug 23rd.. time to work at living instead of living at work, eh!1

Hello everyone,
Just in time to say congrats Carol
I have been reading and keeping up off and on from my phone, and attempted to write on here, but I never saw my any of my input showing up. So, unfortunately I am still not savvy with technology.
I am glad everyone is good.
I want to share: My youngest son got married 2 weeks ago. I waited until 3 days before the wedding to find my dress. The colors were pastel, before going out on Wednesday to find the dress, I was needed to work until 3 am. My stomach looked like a small sized watermelon and I am sure swelling with fluids was a contribution from standing on my feet all night. The gown I picked largest size was a 12 (This is after trying on everything possible in the store). With the help of my daughter and the assistant in the store they zipped the gown up. Then I totally ate only 3 egg whites and 1 slice of toast and coffee without sugar twice a day. (I will admit and laxatives) By Saturday I was able to fit the dress a little more comfortable. The problem was I cried in the store because I allowed myself to continuously eat without discipline and gain my weight back.
I just think back to crying in that store and I am diligently counting my calories. It worked before and I know it will work again.0 -
Carol congratulations on your very quickly impending retirement!!!
Snoozie, I don’t think I realized that your retirement is right around the corner, too!!! Wow! Such big and exciting changes for both of you! Congrats!
Milove, good to hear from you. You looked stunning in your pastel pink dress! It sounds like you’re motivated to get back on track. Congratulations on your son’s wedding as well!
I’m still trying to find my motivation muse. It has been way too easy to rationalize having that ice cream scoop or glass of wine. Also way too easy to find a reason not to do any exercise.0 -
Milove - a) don't feel bad about not being tech savvy.. i kept trying to open your picture so i could actually see it and it took me about 10 min to realize i had to click on the jpg part instead of the picture itself.. duh!! but it was worth the wait you look stunning!!!!!!!! omg on the egg whites and laxatives... but if it got you feeling great in that gorgeous dress then im happy!! and yes i know exactly what you mean about standing in the store upset because of the regain.. i have a suitcase full of stuff i still can't wear since my regain
Suzy yup.. i'm on vacation right now then go back on the 17th for 6 shifts and i'm done (well actually 7 but the last day i just have to return all my stuff then i get to bail lol). and speaking of rationalizing... i have been a freaken eating machine the past 3 days... i do not know WHAT is going on.. if i'm doing that sabotage thing again or just emotional eating cause of the retirement; i'm thrilled with it but there are def a lot of emotions swirling around because its all new to me.. anyway i have to put the brakes on the feed bag no matter what the reason!! all the pb in the world aint gonna help when the fork is working overtime!1 -
Milove, congratulations on your son's wedding! You look stunning, and that dress is beautiful. I'm sorry you were upset when trying it on, and you had to go through such extremes with diet - it's a shame that they didn't have it in a slightly larger size and it would have been fine ... but the end result is absolutely gorgeous.
Carol, congratulations on retirement (soon)! My retired friends love it, none of them regret going as early as possible, and none of them are bored, etc. You've worked for it - enjoy!
Snoozie, I can't believe you are so close! If it's any help, I lost a fair bit of weight when I took partial retirement, during the 6 weeks off. Piled it back on again when I went back to work, but I think it just shows the lack of work stress helps a lot.
1 -
Thanks Vail - it does help lol! I admit I'm slightly concerned I will turn into a couch potato and gain back weight once i retire, but i keep telling myself i'll actually be able to eat better when I am not running back and forth to work and have time to cook (snort..) and i know i'll have pb over the winter to keep me moving my parts ... i joined the senior centre last week and will take at least one class type thing over the winter... its way cheaper to join there than at our community centres. I am slightly worried tho there will lots of people there way older than me who will still be able to kick my *kitten* at some of those classes lOLOLOL.0

That will just be more motivation for you to up your game, Snoozie!

Thanks ladies
Congratulations Snoozie..my husband already has a work plan for me..
Working on cleaning what hasn't been cleaned in a very long time 😂😂
You look stunning Milove
Talk to everyone soon..
Gotta get ready for work tomorrow
Carol in Jersey 😎0 -
wowzers!! , Milove…..you may be bigger than you were, but you are a total movie star in that dress!! lovely !!! ...and you know pictures are not always flattering...but this is! But you will get back to where you want to be.
Carol....so soon! congrats!! I know you have many trips planned. Enjoy!!
Snoozie, I also didn't know that yours was this close. How exciting!!
Suzy, I hear you on the exercise motivation. I am trying to find mine since I am losing the lbs, now. To help with the extra skin thing....ugh!
Vail, I think we fluctuate so much with our water weight, cause I know I can pick up 3 to 5 lbs overnight sometimes.

Hi ho Hatters...
I managed to get a few pb games in this morning before the skies opened - rest of the day is calling for rain which i suppose is good cause i'vve been putting off my house chores every day so far lol... so this will force me into them!
I finally sat down with the classes list for the seniors centre.. i have to say im impressed with the number of different ones they offer. I am going to sign up for only 1 class for the fall session (sept to dec) and 2 classes for the winter one (jan-mar) .. they provided a description sheet of each one as well which was handy as it indicates what each class provides (cardio/strength/flexibitility/stretching and whether it involves mats or not - which are a challenge for me.. i can get down on the mats.. but getting up ... ya not so much lolol).
So i picked a weight lift/strength training class for fall... because i think i get the cardio from pb .. its so much cheaper at the seniors centre than the rec centres.. $30 membership for the year then the classes are 14 classes for $60 and the other is 10 classes for $40 (all weekly classes). so it averages about $4 a class which is way cheaper than the $11.50 at the rec centre. I've always done drop in classes not scheduled ones tho.. and i can usually talk myself out of going to those... so i'm hoping this will force me out if i sign up for (and pay for!) a whole session in advance.
im working on making better thoices again... and eating less.... but its definitely a work in progress lol..... but we're all still here trying right .. none of us have given up so kudos to each and every one!!

Thank you ladies, you truly made me feel good.
Enjoy your time off Snoozie, whether it is outdoors or indoors.
I agree Gail, Water weight is part of the pounds and the inches around our abdomens, extremities etc.1 -
Well done on getting your exercise programme organised, Snoozie! I know you'd been talking about specifically doing strength training. The seniors centre sounds good value. I wish we had something similar here! My gym is £12.99 a month which really isn't too bad if you go to a lot of classes, but of course sometimes I'm paying that and not going at all! I see you have the same plan as me of making yourself pay for something to commit yourself - lol!
I'm still going to Slimming World, even though I still have mixed feelings. It's quite expensive, then you're expected to buy a raffle ticket, and bring in a prize for the slimmer of the week, and then I find myself buying their products as well (which you don't have to do). So I really do have to lose weight after all that expense! I still can't get my head round the weekly weighing. According to them, I lost 4.5 lb this week! Which of course I will mostly gain back next week, and will be expected to look at what I'm doing "wrong".
But anyway, however much I mutter and complain about it, I am actually losing weight. As we all know, it doesn't seem to matter too much what you do to lose weight, as long as you actually do it. I do enjoy the classes - I've changed to a different group, and do find it motivating. I'm back at my maintenance weight, and have never been more than a few pounds below it in recent years, so the real test will be whether I can hit a new low! And also whether I can maintain it.
2 -
Vail - it absolutely does seem the SW is working for you and i'm glad you found a different group that is more motivating; your results are showing and that's awesome!! and you're back at your maintenance weight - woo to the hoo!! i KNOW you can hit a new low and we'll be doing the happy dance with you in the not too distant future i know!
and yes I actually thot of you when i sat and decided to sign up in advance - the payment thing. Also i dont want to chance it being full if i just do the drop in and because i know i can talk myself out of going so fingers crossed your method works for me lol! And yes I'm thinking the only way i'm going to actually get in some ST is to actually take a class since I don't seem to be motivated enough to do it at home!
That said.. i watched a very interesting show on public tv channel yesterday.. first half on obesity and debunking the whole BMI thing and talking about how the "internal fat" should be more of a concern (the fat around our organs). It was about the science behind losing weight and was very interesting.. they showed an easy home test where you step on a string (or easier with 2 people) and draw it up your side to the top of your head... cut the string at that length, then fold it in half - and wrap it around your waist. The string ends should be able to touch around your tummy to be at a normal "BMI" if you will.. The good news too was that losing even 5% of your weight will make a difference in the internal fat because its the first fat you lose (the stuff around your organs).
the 2nd half was on fitness and dealt with both cardio and ST.. they are researching new info vs old thots..about how to get the most benefit out of ST exercises.. and i wont go into the whole thing, but in the cardio one they looked atthe HIT method for people who hate to exercise.. they put a special HIT bike in an office and people had to go in and do 30 seconds on the bike at their absolute max.. and do warm up and cooldown .. but only 30 seconds at full out max.. for a total of 2 minutes a week.. yep you read that right. had to total 2 minutes of HIT per week. Well a few of the participants were gym rats and a few never exercised yada yada... and nobody believed the 2 min a week would make a diff.. but turns out.. at the end they all showed about an 18% increase in their cardio fitness... everyone was stunned lol.. but the researchers are trying to develope more efficient ways of getting the most benefit from any exercise. So that was an eye opener..
Then they did a ST one with 6 women none of whom did any strength training and various ages.. and they had them use heavy weights on the left side only (arms and legs) and light weights on the right side only... and had to use each to fatigue point ....to see if there was any more benefit to lifting heavy vs light (as we know its always been assumed lifting heavy was way better). Well... in the end... after testing before and after.... both heavy and light sides had both improved at exactly the same rate.. BUT when asked if they would continue ST and with which weights, all the women said they would prefer to continue iwth the heavy weights.. because again, they fatigued quicker with the heavy weights - it took longer to get to fatigue with the lighter weights, so using the heavy ones would mean less time at the gym.. again looking at exercising more efficiently to get the most of out whatever it is your'e doing.. it went into a whole lot more of course, but the research they are doing (seemed to be based in Britain) was very very interesting.. specially for someone like me who is admittedly lazy
1 -
Sorry i wanted to post that before i lost it lol. The only thing i forgot was.. the reason the HIT method works so well is that the extra glycogen(sp?) in our bodies is stored in our muscles.. and the leftover just floats around which is not good and can lead to T2 diabetes.. and somehow the quick intense 30 seconds of full out using the big muscles in your legs (which store more than the smaller ones) draws the glycogen out of them for the energy needed to do it.. (ya thats the non scientific explanation lol) anyway.... but a good reminder to me that i dont necessarily need to be a gym rat to improve my fitness even a little - but i do need to start doing something!!
Yesterday i went into my profile on MFP; i was going to update it a little but I saw my last entry from January 1st of this year ... and realized i am right now at exactly the same weight i was on Jan 1st... i haven't lost an ounce. I gained a few pounds and yes i am back to where I was.. but omg.. 8 months since then and not an ounce lost... that really opened my eyes to how complacent ive really become about losing the extra weight... the good news is at least i'm back to where I started and can move ahead to getting down to my goal weight. i just need to really start putting the work into it. I've been giving myself too much latitude in thinking that playing pb is burning enuf cals so i can eat what i want.. forgetting that isn't how it works.. i think im def going to have to start logging again to see just how much i'm actually eating calorie wise; i suspect i've put my head in the sand on how much i'm really taking in. So it's all good - and today is a good day to start cause seeing how quickly time goes by whether i'm doing anything or not was a real eye opener!!

Thanks for posting all the detail of the TV programme, Snoozie. I have a feeling I've watched it. I love programmes like that! I definitely watched one with the string test. I always score fine on that one (it's basically a test of whether your waist measurement is less than half your height) because I have an hourglass type figure - but I do still have a lot of fat around my middle! I think the idea is that central body fat is an indicator of visceral fat.
I did used to do HIIT ... it's a little bit controversial with heart disease and I do find it difficult to push. In fact, I've been told not to push too hard. And I'm sure I remember with the two/three minute thing, the actual high intensity bit is meant to be very high intensity, almost unbearably high. And another thing I remember, is that some people respond very well to it, and some not so much. Anyway, I did used to do it twice a week at a class, and at home, and stopped when I had a knee injury and didn't go back. There was a little bit of controversy here with it as a TV presenter suffered a stroke doing it and felt it was definitely the HIIT to blame. As usual, I just don't know - still feel I'm fumbling in the dark trying to find what works! I certainly didn't get superfit while I was doing it. It was kind of fun, though.
It's funny, I was just hearing the same thing about weights - that lots of reps with lighter weights worked too. But interesting that people preferred the heavier ones. I do too, but it's partly because I think I'm more likely to injure myself if I do lots of reps. I hurt my back at the gym a couple of weeks ago, doing multiple fast deadlifts with a light weight. I also find the heavier weights more fun. I'm doing a circuits class tonight - it's classed as cardio, but I feel there is quite a lot of strength stuff.
What you say about thinking the pb burns calories - that's a trap I can fall into too. I'm convinced that when I'm exercising I don't actually burn that much more calories than when I'm not - I know when I was tracking carefully, exercise didn't make a huge amount of difference. I don't know if that's because I have a slow heart rate or what - although I think it's also because it's easy to overestimate how much you're doing. For instance, my circuits class is half an hour, but some of that will be the leader explaining the exercises, some will be warm up and cool down, some will be me getting a drink of water, so in the end maybe 15 minutes will actually be intense exercise. Anyway, I think that overall, the amount of extra food I can eat is actually very little. Especially if the exercise is walking, because I think that really burns minimal calories for me because my city is so flat!
Sorry, I'm rambling on! I do find this stuff really interesting!1 -
Vail I completely agree with you about the controversy over the different types of exercise; its almost identical to the food fight - eat this, dont eat this, god forbid you eat this LOL.. and every day there's something new, but like you i find these type of shows interesting, if for nothing more than seeing the new research and ideas out there on everything.. but i won't be jumping into any of the above anytime soon lol..
but on the same topic.. found a very interesting article yesterday with morning tips, do's and don'ts for morning exercise over 50... admit i will change a few of the things i've been doing like the morning stretches in bed LOLOL...
here's the link in case you're bored sometime and wanna read
https://primewomen.com/health/fitness/morning-exercise-tips/
and based on one of the thoughts in there, i'm gonna sit and sip my coffee instead of getting my butt out the door hahaha
still on vacation this week; go back on Saturday for my last set of 7 shifts... popped into work early yesterday to check my email for a phone i had ordered that didnt come and my face is plastered all over posters every 10 feet... for the send off party they are having on my last day... its a very weird sensation to see yourself everywhere.. kinda like a wanted poster!! ha
1 -
Sorry I’ve been MIA... I spent the last week supervising a landscaping project at my parent’s house. It turned out great but I lost a whole week!
I absolutely need to be doing strength training whether with light or heavy weight...just something! Interesting read on the whole exercise in the morning. I knew there would be a silver lining to not being a morning person eventually!!
How surreal to see posters of yourself everywhere! I don’t know if I’d like that...unless it was a really great photo, of course!
Vail congratulations on your weight loss! Being at maintenance must feel fantastic. I hope to be there one day. It sounds like you’ve found a group that works for you.
We’re off for a very quick trip to Kansas City to see my mother in law. Her body is pretty healthy for a 92 year old but her mind is going. She’s in a memory care home that is very nice but it’s hard to see her like that.
I’m still trying to find my motivation. I was doing so well in the first part of the year but summer has not been good for my weight loss goals. We’re going hiking the end of October and I need to lose a few to get back into my cool weather pants. I’ve got to snap out of it!!!1 -
I hope you have nice time on your trip, Suzy. It's good that your mother in law is having good care.
Thanks for the congratulations! This is only the maintenance weight I have been at on and off for the past few years, so nothing new, but it's good to get back to it and maybe we need to celebrate the small things!
Thanks for the article, Snoozie! I had no idea about the risk to your spine of morning exercise. I will bear that in mind. I do seem to always be hurting myself with exercise so this is definitely something to avoid!2
