this is my 5th day on the Weight Management program thru UofM, still anxious as this is the hardest thing I've done for myself. I'm not sure if I can believe that I'm losing weight, it seems a little surreal. Here's to next week! :flowerforyou:0 -

Not a great drop, but its at least in the right direction. I'm just disappointed. I saw a 238.8 on the scale Saturday and haven't seen it since.
I've had a bit of a calorie creep this week because I've just been HUNGRY. I think I've got it now. 0 -
Also its been a mixed bag everybody! There is still a whole month to go!!!!

Welcome Chuck. I fear I've become the token male in the group. M23prime is still around, but I haven't seen many posts. I'll be out most of this month too with business and personal trips, but I'll check in when I can. I suggest you roar in to as many of the threads as you can, let us all get to know you and vice versa.0 -
dward59,
I have found that not too many, shall I say, more mature men partake in these forums. I don't feel like stripping off my clothes to post a picture and partake in the younger men's forums .I find that, to keep me on track, I need to talk about my successes and failures. When I have something to say, I have never been shy about saying it, sometimes much to my wife’s embarrassment.

Hi Jackie, welcome back!!! Missed you!
Crystal, I know exactly what you mean. Surreal is the perfect word! Congratulations!
Dan, Will be thinking of you. Have a nice safe trip! At least the walking will help you stay warm. Are you going to see Givens in DC? Saw him on the newsfeed again this week.
P1xy & Emmerin, Even though the weekly amounts might look small, look at the totals. They're great!
I refuse to post my weight today. Due to viral vagaries (i.e. changes caused by a little intestinal bug), my weight went down then up and is going down again. I just know that last pound is going to disappear this weekend and I just don't want to post a gain when it wasn't my fault! :grumble:
Leanna and Malia and Jess and Etherlily and all our wonderful newbies, Adore you all!

Paula, hope you are feeling better. I've been real lucky. In winter, every year for the last eight years I've had at least one and often several real bad cold and cough. I usually don't get a flue shot, but because of some of my health issues and they recommend that old people (6 months to old at 70) get one. I got my shot the first day my HMO started shooting and I have barely had a sniffle.0

Good Evening All!
I just wanted to say congratulations to everyone for just taking the time to check in! I know for me this is where I seem to fall short. I find I am more successful when I check in and track what I am eating.0 -

There we go. Wait a day and the extra unearned pound goes away.

My medicine has been making me nauseous for a couple months. Yesterday I narrowed it down to Centrum Silver Women 50+ multivitamin. Since the only difference between women 50- and 50+ is that 50+ don't need extra iron after menopause, I had assumed 50+ meant it didn't have iron in it. That was wrong. It does.
Iron constipates me and makes me nauseous. Also food can bind iron and keep it from being absorbed. And calcium and iron compete for absorption. So it has all kinds of characteristics that need to be considered. But primarily my iron levels are fine and don't need to be supplemented. So why bother when it's such a problem?
I bring this up because my stalls and increases often seem related to constipation. The correction of which results in my weight getting back to normal. I plan to switch to Centrum Silver Men to avoid extra iron and will make sure to drink all of my water, both of which should help with this issue. It will be interesting to see if there is a significant difference.
Sorry about the essay. Just a bit peeved with myself for not reading the labels.:grumble:
Best wishes all you wonderful losers!*

There were some really impressive numbers posted lately! And for those that didn't have such a good week, please don't be discouraged. It's not a race and we will all get to our goals. We need to just keep trying our best and really try not to be beat ourselves up when things don't go as well as we hoped. I know for me, if I beat myself up too much I tend to use it as an excuse to fail. Failure is not an option!!
That being said, my weekly weigh in is Wednesday morning and I'm skeered!! 0 -
Hi everyone! Sorry I've been absent, but getting to a computer has been crazy with my busy month of work in January. I think I've got it mostly figured out so I'm joining in for this month (although I'm a bit late). I'll be weighing in on Thursdays, since I have personal training Thursday night and always retain water over the weekend.

Okay 2 weeks in a row staying the same, I have some excuses but in the end I decided to let things slid!
So here I am half way through the month see my doctor again in 5 days and I've managed to maintain only! This doesn't totally upset me considering how much I didn't follow my plan while I was out of town last weekend!
I hope everyone is having great weigh ins, I love seeing the shrinking numbers!0 -

I saw it but it's bouncing all over the place this week. I think I've been snacking too late at night. I'm trying to adjust to a new limit and not doing so well yet. Next week may not be pretty. It's my birthday today and I'm going out for Valentines tomorrrow too. :noway: I'm going to try to not go crazy but I don't really want to be that strict. (shrugs).
I saw some great drops on here this week... fantastic! Everyone we just keep on keep'n on! :happy:0 -

Aargh! Going in the wrong direction! But I know what's causing it, LOL! Well, besides eating far too much, I reckon at least part of it must be water because I know I haven't eaten over 20,000 cals over for the week. I think I haven't been drinking enough water for one, and having too much salty stuff. So I don't think I will make my Feb. goal, but I will keep trying!0 -

Well, 12 days into the program and I'm losing weight, still doesn't feel real. The program is going well, I'm not hungry and I have 'cheated' a couple times with lunch. I couldn't eat the whole thing, that's the first time in a while I wasn't able to 'clean my plate'0 -

Slow and steady...I will get there eventually. Tonight will probably be a bad night with a special Valentine's Day dinner and no time for exercise.
