YAY! I closed my rings. I did a bunch of slow mini walks. My back wasn’t too bad except for a lot a pressure which maybe from the injection. The test will be grocery shopping today. I might go for a swim early evening if the pool is open. I really wanted a chocolate bar yesterday and I allowed myself one putting me slightly over calories for the day.
Have a great Saturday!

Early morning check in on this grey winter day. Keeping moving will help me keep warm. Meetings and reunions and meals on the agenda. Shouldn’t natural introverts get steps for extended social occasions? 😂😂
It is like family, the good kind, so I know I’ll have a great day but will be worn out. So put your feet up and fire up the all-day hallmark movies for me! Ciao!2 -

Honestly I'm a little bit in shock that my weight keeps going down. I mean I know I'm doing a lot of hard work with my diet but that's never worked before in my life. I'm thrilled but also a bit scared that somehow it won't last.3 -
Week 2's Group Challenge has been posted and begins tomorrow (12/12/21). Watch each day for a new picture and activity. Enjoy!

Shoveled the drive and sidewalks today. It wasn’t very much but our drive and walks are shaded. So the snow doesn’t melt very well when it warms up. Was really restless today because I didn’t exercise yesterday. Had to fight to not snack. So went shopping and resistance trained for an hour. Even with exercise, ended up over calories by 8. Doggone 1300 calorie mfp goal. Weighed 135.4 lbs. today. Almost to where doctor wants me to be! Am shooting for 130. We’ll see how close I get. The end of next month will consult with a plastic surgeon. Excited yet afraid that I won’t be a candidate or cannot afford it.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 glad to hear that Aspen has recovered. Bet her appetite has improved without those pills! Isn’t Honby Lobby awesome. When we go, we soend several hours and have to walk the whole store.2 -

Good evening everyone. Another Saturday night and I ain't got no booty. Flat and flab.
Check in for 12/11:
Steps - 1108 plus 22 minutes bike moderate effort. I had it on charge until I got back from the gym.
Calories- 1645 or so. Lots of salt, unfortunately.
Exercise - gym early afternoon finally. First time since I hurt my back. 7 machines, mainly upper body to protect the back, and 22 minutes bike.
Hoping to go to SeaWorld tomorrow evening for their Xmas stuff. Want to get a picture with "Bumble".

NSV i did all my measurements and I've lost about 6 inches in total. Also noticed that all my fat areas seem really soft not that hard lard feeling they used to have feel like the fat in my body is really changing like its breaking down.
Only downside is this means my boobs too. I've lost 2 inches off them.4 -
Middle of night check in.
Uff da.
Too many cookies.
Only 4500 steps for 12/11
Lots of driving.
I’ll be back at it in the morning for sure!5 -
Happy Sunday, Downsizers! Here is my weekly weigh-in and daily check-in:
PW: 180
CW: 179.6
SW: 250
12/11
Calories: 1,181
Exercise: 64 minutes elliptical
Steps: 15,004
One thing that is going to be difficult for me is weighing in weekly. I usually don't weigh myself at all because I know if I stick to my plan, the weight will come off and frequent weighing just frustrates me. I weighed myself when I started in April and didn't weigh myself again until I joined this group a week and a half ago. But I will stick with it for a while to see if I'm able to do it.5 -

@MeowScout
Sometimes the Cookie Monster in us strikes but the important part is getting back on track. Way to be accountable!
@red1185
Nice loss! How long is your winter break?
@peng123
Awesome loss! Frequent weighing can be frustrating. Have you ever tried weighing daily? I do and use happy scale to track my weights. Looking at the moving average is definitely gives me a better idea of how I am doing opposed to a weekly weigh in.
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Sounds like an awesome day!
@Pippin20206
Fantastic loss and NSV! It is important to look at both the scales and the changes in our bodies during our journey. Don’t be scared because if you continue working hard you will see progress.
@Beautyofdreams
Your weight loss story is inspiring and now you are so close to goal. How do you feel to be so close?
@rwood566
Glad to see you return to the gym and have a good session. Who is bumble?

Last week was artificially high (water weight) so I'm not getting too excited as I'm still have a ways to go but it's a good step in the right direction.3 -

I always admire the way you handle situations when eating out. That’s a lot of walking.Pippin20206 wrote: »Daily check-in
