Well, I thought it would be at least something but I think going back to weight lifting programs this week didn't help. But it will in the end!

@mrmcgrath, great weigh-in this week!! I imagine seeing that number was very exciting.
@cherrymajoni, wahooo looks at that awesome weigh-in you had this week! Keep it up!
@raleighgirl09, down is down so good job this week! I agree that thrift stores are a great place to look for clothes. I also shop at a resale store called Clothing Mentor. Last year I got a perfect condition London Fog coat $20. Now, I just want to hit the thrift stores for jigsaw puzzles. I need to feed my obsession without paying full price. How was your anniversary dinner and did you hear from the job yet? Fingers are crossed for you! 
@gwamajtw91, I know it’s frustrating to be in an up/down cycle with your weight. Story of my life!! But we don’t give up, do we? Yes, I hope your rec center reopens soon, and in the meantime what are some things you can do to get that scale moving in the right direction?
@Cornanda, I have seen some FB groups that buy and sell their puzzles. I do have one lady at the church that we have exchanged our puzzles. Maybe I should reach out and see who else has a puzzle addiction. How are you doing this week with your goals? Do you have a plan for the weekend? I'm going to make mine as soon as I'm done posting here.
@trooworld, I’m an iced coffee drinker too. At Starbucks, I get it with 2 pumps Toffee Nut and light cream. Soooo good!! I’m sorry that you have to be stuck at the dealership. Did you bring a book? I would probably watch TV on one of my phones and play on social media with the other one. Yeah, I have my phone and the church cell with me all the time. It’s VERY handy when I want to multi-task!
Good morning! Well, I already mentioned above that I was bummed that the scale didn’t move this week. But at least it didn’t go up, right? I’ve got to dig deeper this week and make some changes. I am still eating too big of dinners. So, the goal this week is to scale back on my portions and try to find lighter substitutes for certain foods. I just don’t want to compromise on taste. Today, I have to take my mom to the doctor, workout, do some housework, and bag up cookies for 75 people who are coming to the church tomorrow morning. We are doing a drive-up for our kids to give them their end of the year Awana awards. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone! Ohhhh and I only bought enough cookies for what I need so I won’t be consuming any.
Let's make this a great weekend!! I believe in this team and all our amazing abilities!

@AustinRuadhain I thought about that but the past couple of days were a heatwave, so it was too hot. It ended up fine: they told me it would take 2-3 hours but it only took 1 hr 15 mins! Which is good because there were several people (mostly employees) that weren't wearing masks, making me feel not very safe.
@Cornanda Well, kudos to you both then! I was wondering if it was just this particular dealership that takes forever or if it was all dealerships? I'm glad to know it's not just this one. They told me it would be 2-3 hours but it ended up taking only 1 hr 15 mins, which was a relief!
@raleighgirl09 Woo hoo! Congrats on the loss!!! Happy Anniversary and I hope you hear from that interview soon, the waiting must be agonizing. That's a great idea to pre-track what you think you are going to get. Thanks re: the dealership...it went fine, despite some people not having masks on grrrr! It sounds like my city showed off the best of its self when you flew in. I do love me some sunsets around here.
@TeresaW1020 It depends on the time of day/temperature out for me. It was blazing hot out so I ordered the iced coffee. That Starbucks drink sounds amazing! I did bring my Kindle and my headphones to keep busy at the dealership. It kept me occupied well enough. LOL...you have two phones? That is definitely multitasking! That was smart to only buy enough cookies for the bags. I'm sorry the scale bummed you out. I hope you have a better week next week.
Wow, people are having some awesome weigh-ins this week! I'm afraid I had a peek at the scale today and my weigh-in tomorrow is going to be a letdown for you all (me too!). The scale is definitely going to reflect my efforts this week, which were...fffffffffffffff.

@mrmcgrath - Nice loss!
@raleigh_girl- Love that SS decided to be nice to you. Happy Anniversary!

@raleighgirl09 I've been here since I got married in 1991!! I still have my English accent though
@Cornanda @TeresaW1020 Weekends are my downfall plus what I call the witching hours (4pm - 6pm) where I am hungry but haven't made dinner yet. I usually grab something like chips to hold me over & end up eating WAY more than I need to!! So this week trying to plan better & have things to hand that are better choices (chopped veggies/hummus etc.) instead of a bunch of salty carbs!!
Good luck to everyone this week!0 -

The scale doesn't seems to be moving for over a week or so and I still wonder why I have different numbers on the scale within few minutes intervals of checking. This is not encouraging at all but I know there is a room for improvement.

A few years ago when I lost all the ‘ baby’ weight I became really intune with my body. It’s amazing how annoyed I was two months ago when I would Plateau. But here we are again and I’m just figuring out my body all over again. Not much of a change. Looking forward to working hard for the next seven days to see at least one lb lost.

Just dropping in to say ‘Hey!’
It’s my work weekend again already (my weekends off never go this slow) so I’ll be a hermit for the next 3 days. I walk a ton at my console so I always do well in Fitbit challenges, plus I get lost of activity points in WW.
I’m on the green plan and so far, so good. It is super hard to not graze mindlessly…I just enjoy snacking, probably why my weight loss has stalled. I also wanna eat bad things lol! I’m not the biggest fan of raw veggies but they are healthy and zero points so I’m going to give it the old college try.
Now, where I’m from: born and raised in Akron, Oh. Moved to central NC 15 years ago at the ripe old age of 20. I’m between Raleigh and Fayetteville and live about 5 mins away from Raven Rock State Park which is awesome. Hubs and I are looking to move to the mountains when we get closer to retirement.
I hope everyone has a good weekend!

@Cornanda LOL yes!!! Thank you, have a wonderful weekend too! Congrats on a great loss woo hoo!!!
I'm glad my week starts over today and it's a new chance to start fresh and get it "right". We are attending a virtual game night over Zoom with another couple tonight which should be fun. It is also the night of our splurge menu item: I'm making bacon burgers with caramelized onion and air-fryed french fries. I'm really looking forward to it, it's a recipe I saw on Cook's Country TV show and it looked so good!!! We haven't been eating much meat lately, so this really is a splurge.

I knew it!!! Gah. Hopefully next week will be better.3 -
Friday check in... lots of steps (for me, anyways), decent meals and bad snacking.
My parents came out to visit since I am flying solo this week and brought grilled chicken salads. It was good to sit and visit with them. I have had human interaction everyday at work but nothing in the evenings except text and phone calls from the spouse and kids. I am not complaining, in the least, but it sure did surprise me to see how fast I could revert to hermit mode. I really made it a point to cook healthy meals for myself. In the past, I would just snack all night instead of cooking. However, I did notice my willingness to grab and snack was more prevalent even after eating a healthy fulfilling meal. I was not hungry. I was just alone and the skittles were in the house.
For the week:
Becoming a hermit: fail
Healthy meals: win
Skittle attack: fail
The weekend will be the hardest but I have made a to-do list of things to accomplish and plan to keep busy. And, I put the skittles out of eye sight. Hopefully I will forget they are in the house.

@gwamajtw91- weekends are hard. Recently I ate whatever I wanted all day Sat and logged every bite. What an eye opener. It gave me some motivation to work on that bad habit. I also hate 4-6 pm. Why am I so hungry then?! And it's easy to sneak in some bites while getting supper ready. Hang in there!
@bethanie0825 - glad to see you are in the Southeast party with us!
@trooworld- enjoy that burger for all it's worth today and then get started a new week.
@mrmcgrath - skittle attacks are hard to resist. Stay strong!2 -

Don't worry! You do not need to go anywhere near the dreaded spreadsheets
- just post your weights and it is all taken care of. More important is to join in the discussions, share as needed, and keep on the journey! Your weigh-in day is MONDAY, so be sure to post your new weight then. Every week. Thanks! 0 -

The number is data - hope your scale weighing is going well.

Sunday check in
Up early with coffee and a bit of slouch on the couch time; I really love that in the mornings. => Sketchy Scale got me a bit this morning. I stepped on ohhh-soooo-gingerly and - it was way low. I thought, oh no, I outsketched the scale! So I hopped on. Way (weigh) high. Oh dear....I had done it, I had let the darn thing be in my head before I got on it which is exactly the opposite of the planned behavior. So I waited and then just got on in a regular way and we came to an agreement. After I did that a few times.
Tomorrow - I vow that I will just step on the thing and be done with it. I mean, this behavior is just crazy town (side bar; I once described hubby and myself as crazy train hurtling toward crazy town and it was a roll of the dice on any given day as to who was which). I am not doing the crazy tomorrow.
I haven't been a part of the Tiny Habits stuff.....I mean, I want to but in the same kind of way that I want to do crafts and then I actually buy the stuff but never do the craft; I have to make myself walk away from craft ideas now because I know what will happen. Well, anyway, I have decided on a Tiny Habit I will do with my nemesis, Sketchy Scale. And I'm going to completely ignore the fact that it's crazy that I named it and gave it a personality. Whateves. This may not be exactly right because I didn't bother to read the directions or back of the cereal box, I'm just mimicking.- Remind myself that the scale is a thing, a tool - no more and no less
- Tell myself something positive about my actions, food and exercise from the day before
- Say out loud "the number is data, not a definition of me as a person"
- Step on the scale like a regluh Joe - once
- Get off the scale with an acceptance of the number and record it in Fitbit
- Acknowledge negativity if it snarks up in my brain but then remind myself that this is just a habit thought and I don't have to believe it
- Drink coffee
@apple852hk wowieWOW WOW! Awesome weigh in and reading your actions - I can see how you accomplished that! You must feel awesome and waking up with energy that is sustained and can take you through the day....? PRICELESS
@vegan4lyfe2012 what a terrific day, I'm so happy for you! I hope you have an amazingly lovely and peaceful Sunday![/quote]

PW 147 (66.6kg)
CW 148 (67kg)
Gained - not much but I don't know why today put on a little weight.
Gone for 2hr long walks on Tuesday and Thursday. 3 hour long distance on Friday. Maybe I gained weight as didn't go for a walk yesterday.
Brought higher cocoa content chocolate and ate some but not devoured the packet.
Been eating nuts as a salad topper for meals.
Didnt eat hot cross bun all week until yesterday for breakfast. Maybe that's why I've gained weight.
Tried yeast flakes but I don't think they have cheese taste. Will try eating it with evert meal to find out.
Walked every morning 30 mins.
Only drinking one coffee in the morning.
GOALS
1. Walk every morning to allotment for exercise.
2. Drink less coffee
