My worst week yet. Work is taking over for the next few weeks but it happens every year. I alway gain a few pounds too with all the sitting at computer so I’m going to try and keep focus on my calorie intake

@gillis1118 It has been a long time I have been under 160. My final goal is 125 so I have a long way to go, so for now, the interim goal is to make sure I don't go back up over 160. I am 5' so I can't eat what is a normal size portion for taller people.

@gillis1118 Yes, I read all the posts in this chat, but it probably would make it easier to find your posts if you tag me.
@lauren_989 Thanks for the welcome Lauren. We had a family gathering / birthday party this weekend, with leftovers, so staying under 160 this week will be a challenge.
@virgoreader I am happy to do it.

It has been cold and rainy all week. Have I mentioned I don't like the cold?? Went to the gym after work and it was packed. But I did some jogging which was a win because I have my 5k coming up on Thanksgiving. It will be here before I know it!

So I had a busy/fun day today! I had an easy day at work, which never happens and I left at 4:25. Came home and mowed the lawn and got the leaves up. Made some pumpkin bread for work tomorrow. Then finally carved my pumpkin and baked the pumpkin seeds! So tasty, but not the lowest in calories.

I grew up in Rhode Island and live in NC for the last 15 years.

Weigh-in Day: Friday (October 31, 2025)
PW: 246.1
CW: 243.9Today is my 57th birthday so I knew I was going to have to buckle down this week to offset what will probably be a little too much celebrating this weekend followed by the sneaking of a few of those bite-sized snickers (the really small ones) if we don't have too many trick or treaters for Halloween tonight.
We're from St. Louis, Missouri, USA, but I grew up in Ohio, Argentina, Guatemala, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Texas before settling into the Midwest. This spurred my travel bug so I took a job with a lot of domestic and international travel followed up by taking all 4 of our kids to all 50 US state capitals and numerous national parks (45+). Now that we just have one left in college, Susan and I are starting our international travels together (Italy was last year, Japan and the Philippines back in May and we've booked our trip for Greece and Turkey next May to be followed by Australia & New Zealand and then Antarctica (we're planning to hit all 7 continents next). I'm anxious to retire (hopefully after the Greece/turkey trip).
