HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY @podperson1 !!!!!
@kiane50 - Do you want to change your weigh-in day to one that isn't after a night of eating out? I'd hate for your numbers to be skewed. I'm such a numbers person, I know that would bother me. Although you did hit a loss, so maybe you don't eat as poorly at a restaurant as you think.

@sleepymom5 - Right there with you. There's a thin line between knowing there's room for progress and thinking you're not doing as well as you should be doing. But, from what I've seen, you're on the right track! Effort is progress. You've got this!
@pacsnc6 - That's so exciting! Happy for you!1 -

Very happy with this loss, particularly with having Thanksgiving last weekend. I am down to the final 5 lbs and am a couple of lbs from a “normal” BMI. I am not going to put a deadline on this or too much pressure on myself. I have enough stress right now. If I can slowly chip away, I will be happy. I am thinking about what maintenance will look like, and other goals going forward. Fitness, maybe even running, will be part of that for sure. I just looked up the equivalent of a 25 lbs loss and it is a 2 year old toddler or 3 gallons of milk!
@pacsnc6 - Such wonderful news and thank you for sharing! I hope that your remaining treatment continues to go well. I will continue my prayers for you. Big hugs!

Check in for Thursday
Food-logged and under (and forgot to close again)
Water-64 oz
Exercise-30 min walk and PT
Good day yesterday. I had a good week (from Monday) and I am down 3 pounds. I understand that the weight is mostly water but a much better number for me to see on the scale Lol! I am still up 2.2 lbs for the month and 3.5 from before the walk so I have some work to do. I am starting to feel more like myself too. I think I was mostly just exhausted. I am not in as much pain as I was but my left knee is swollen and hurts but even that is getting better. I had the same thing the beginning of the summer, I hope this isn't going to be a thing for me now. More of a reason to get this weight off.
Any plans for the weekend? We have an outdoor family party which is about an hour away. I am more excited for the drive as I am hoping there will be pretty fall leaves. I am not too worried about eating or drinking. I am going to drive so I will only have one drink and we are all bringing food so I should be ok. Otherwise a quiet weekend in Pennsylvania for a change. Hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend.
@Cafelelia It is so important to be kind to yourself. I like that you are cutting yourself some slack. You do have so much going on. Nice loss this week,especially after Thanksgiving!! I am glad things are going well.
@pacsnc6 That is awesome news!! I am so happy for you! Just reading this made my day! xo
@podperson1 Happy belated Birthday! I feel like I have been the same lately-gaining and losing the same 5 pounds. Let's finish the year off on a high note and get past this. We can do it!!
@mainebeachbum I have yet to use the recipe builder but it is a good tool. Maybe if you add your usuals in slowly it will help in the long run. Sounds like you are doing well overall though!
@minstrelofsarcasm thank you for all your support! You are such an inspiration!
@lennoncpa @lenka1 Maintaining is good! Hope you had a good week!

A fun week now let's get back to healthy eating and exercise!

I weigh myself everyday just to keep an idea of where I am at. I definitely was having some intense water weight! As of this morning, I am .2# less than last Friday even though on Monday, for my weigh in, showed nearly a 5# gain! I think this may be why I was so out of sorts! I literally was exhausted!
Today, I am feeling better. And I started my day by cleaning out my closet of clothes that were too loose. I loaded them in the car and took them to goodwill. I have been off the rails for nearly two weeks. I figured if I kept those clothes, it would be too easy to grow back into them.5 -

This is my big ol’ love muffin with my nephew. He stares at me every morning to go for a walk. If it weren’t for him, I’d probably skip a lot more walks!

Lots happening this week. My cat of over 17 years is passing away I believe. She is pretty comfortable but not eating. We already knew she was declining. My son who left school last year is planning to go back which brings up a lot of anxiety for what we’ve been through with him in the past. Hopefully he maintains his new healthier perspective on life this time. We will be empty nesters again and I really didn’t like going through that before. And I’ve been extra tired for some reason and yet I need to practice for our performance this weekend. I play viola in the community orchestra. I have a son in school in chicago too and he is always on my mind and in my heart. My eating is pretty good and my pants are getting pretty baggy. I want better fitting pants but it would be a waste to buy them I could probably find some old pants around that I grew out of lol. It is just they are pretty old. So we will see. This is just a little snapshot of my life today.7

Uh oh not good. Going the wrong way. I was super hungry all week and ate a few hundred calories more than usual but I know I didn't eat enough to gain an entire pound. We shall see what next Saturday's weigh in says.4 -

Exercise-PT
Good day but didn't exercise. I gave in to the rainy day vibe, I didn't do much and read a book. Looking forward to a quiet weekend, just have the family party this afternoon/evening. I don't think we will stay long, it is outdoors and it is going to be chilly out.
@annliz23 Love these pictures on the beach. I am also a little jealous that you groom them. Daisy can only go on the beach when she has a grooming appointment the following week. We bathe her but she looks horrible Lol!
@mainebeachbum I am glad you are feeling better. Good idea to get rid of your loose clothes, you won't be going back to wearing them! Love the pic of your dog too! I gave in to the rain yesterday as far as exercise went too. Today is beautiful in Philly so hoping to get out!
@kiane50 You do have a lot going on! I am sorry about your cat, I know how pets really become part of the family. It is tough with the kids leaving the nest too. Hugs! How nice to see that your clothes are getting too big. Maybe a consignment shop is a way to get some better fitting clothes and not have to spend too much? I hope to have that problem soon Lol!
@Queenieamy Wow! Nice loss!
@Koss33 Looks like everything worked out in your favor! Nice loss this week!

I will take this loss and am happy with it. Thanksgiving food around the house was a real challenge for me this week. Good practice for Christmas though!!
I will be heading out to yoga shortly. Also still need to tidy up backyard stuff. Cheers everyone, and have a great weekend.4 -

Friday check in
Yesterday went well. I had a planned off-plan day, but I just ended up eating normally. I had a really busy day, but I managed to go for a walk in the nice fall weather. Our dishwasher is finally fixed & I am beyond thrilled! My husband and younger son went to the family cottage to meet my MIL and oversee the continuing renos. The place is starting to look great. The really good news is that the renos will allow us to use the place throughout the winter. It will be really nice to give the kids a change of scene through what may be a tough winter. Last night, my older son and I ordered in sushi and watched a movie. In my ongoing quest to extend an outdoor socializing for winter, I ordered some cute hot water bottles as a start. I thought about blankets or electric blankets, but that would create a lot of laundry for me. The hot water bottles are great as they have little cozies that are easy to launder. Next is the fire pit, and we are waiting on advice from our friend who owns a fireplace installation business.
@goingape - You did so great, especially considering we had Thanksgiving! I think us Canadians have it a bit easier as we don’t have Thanksgiving and Christmas so close together like our American friends.
@sleepymom5 - Enjoy your get together this afternoon! Too bad I cannot give you one of my hot water bottles!
@Kandi3570, @kos33 & @Queenieamy - Really impressive losses this week!!
@mainbeachbum - That is such a cute photo!
@kiane50 - I am really sorry about your cat and hope that she is comfortable. Also, we never stop thinking about (or worrying) about our kids. When I had my first child, I remember my father telling me that from that day I would be sleeping with “one eye open”. It is really true. I love that you play viola and hope that your share a photo with us when you are able. As for the pants, I know it can feel wasteful to buy a transitional size, but it really does feel good having something that fits well. It also helps with further weight loss too. When I did my closet edit in September, I found that I had to buy some new things, so I bought some things in smaller sizes with stretch. I like the Uniqlo brand as it is really reasonably priced and they have a lot of stretch items, particularly for pants & leggins. They have a sale right now!
@podperson1 - Happy Birthday!
@minstrelofsarcasm - So it turns out my son has been helping kids in class (particularly math), just like you did. At first he was helping his friends, but then the teacher noticed so she put him to work with all the kids that need assistance! I wish I could watch because I am sure it is very cute. So maybe he will become an engineer and set things on fire like you too!2 -

Just the other day, I was looking at my stockpile of hot water bottles with cozies, thinking I had too many of them. So glad you brought this idea up, Lisa. Did you see the picture of the interior chimney for a firepit that I posted a couple of days ago? You'll have to let us know what your friend recommends. I just put the patio heater outside this morning. I hope it isn't stolen. I used a Kryptonite cable to lock it but they say those are now like butter to thieves.
It's a beautiful, sunny, fall day so I may ride my bike to High Park with Xavy in his basket.2 -

Not the best and not the worst. We had our Thanksgiving dinner on Monday, which gave me less time to take off the bloat.
Then the puppies were a distraction all week. One of them is not latching on. Also, a big surprise ~ they are all girls, not boys! I am the one who pronounced them boys. To be fair, they are extremely small, e.g. 129 grams, so we're talking about microscopic body parts.3 -
