Weight No More - November 2020 Team Chat

Friday
PW - 139.9
CW - 138.8
LTD - 30 lbs which is GOAL!
Today was going to be goal no matter what, but I did officially reach it! My biggest NSV to match was having excellent results from my physical, with normal cholesterol levels (my cholesterol was borderline high at my highest weight). More than the number on the scale, the improvement in my health has been my biggest delight and victory.
I wanted to thank our entire team for your support through my journey! January 2021 will be my 2 year anniversary with this team. I was injured much of 2019 and was sidelined from weight loss, until @sleepymom5 helped pull me back in (thank you!) The pandemic resulted in another setback, but I refocused and recommitted in the spring. I also wanted to thank @hope002 for sharing so openly about her experience with IF, and answering my many questions. IF became a very important tool in my journey, and it led me to read and follow Toronto’s own, Dr. Jason Fung, who wrote the Obesity Code.
@1theresamcvean and @minstrelofsarcasm, thank you so much for your leadership! I would like to move to cheer squad for December, and am thinking about moving over to the maintenance zone after that, where I still check in weekly here.
I have discovered that the journey never really ends, and I need to stay focused to maintain. I will be setting some new fitness and maintenance goals over the next few weeks and through 2021.
I am really not great with photo tracking and before/after photos. I did make one though. I was saying to Pam that I have mixed feelings about before/after photos, because I feel like I am saying that my old self was lacking somehow. I have rediscovered self-love and respect on this journey, and know that my past self was doing a great job through stressful times, and doing the best that she could with the knowledge that she had. So I am posting that photo, and a photo of me in my goal reward jacket (a Canada Goose bomber).
I will continue checking in, especially with the upcoming holidays. Thanks again everyone!

Congratulations, Lisa! I'm so happy for you. Your blue bomber jacket looks just like one that I wore in grade nine when I went to Loretto in Niagara Falls (you're probably the only one who can picture where I mean). It's absolutely fantastic to see you strike a youthful pose with such a delighted expression in your after photo. I really admire that you acknowledge love and respect for the woman you were in your before photo, an absolute beauty with the warmest smile. You must feel proud. High five.3 -
Hoping everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is being safe! My mother and I had a very peaceful day, with my brother and sister coming over for a quiet meal, I cooked a ham with brown sugar raisin glaze, mashed potatoes, squash and homemade cranberry apple sauce........... AND for dessert, we had TURKEY! For those who would like to know one more facet of the man you know as KUMEcyclingteam, I used to bake birthday cakes for friends and family. Even have done a couple wedding cakes, so for your enjoyment, I present to you (drum roll) "The TURKEY CAKE" (I really don't know what's wrong with me, but after I made this I couldn't stop laughing at it!)

Last week - 208.0
This week - 210.0
LTD -40 lbs.
OK, lets be fair here, weigh in on Friday after Thanksgiving should not be allowed, we should get a free pass, I want a recount, my scale is rigged, there is widespread fraud on all the digital weighing equipment in my home, I'm taking this matter to the Supreme court......... OK, sorry about that! I'm just a dumb *kitten* that couldn't put the fork down, my bad!
Stepping for the week (Equally as disappointing for me)

@KUMEcyclingteam love the turkey cake. Wish I was half that creative with food2

@KUMEcyclingteam Love your cake. What talent! LOL about your weigh-in rant.2

@KUMEcyclingteam Yum! I want some turkey cake! Truly spectacular!3
-
@pacsnc6 I've been playing with my food since I can remember (That's what foxes do right?)
@1theresamcvean LOL Sorry about the "Rant" which may or may not of had political overtones!
And as far as cake decorating goes, I was inspired 30 years ago when I refused to pay 35 bucks for a Ninja turtle cake from a cake baker..... On that Day my ambition laid way to a new path, and I just started making birthday cakes for family and friends starting with my boys birthdays! Here is couple more so you know I'm not a one hit wonder! lol
I apologize for this last one, but I assure you, everything was cake and frosting! lol I still laugh about the reaction we got from this one!

Steps yesterday 1750. Lol. Didn’t have my Fitbit on most of the morning cooking. Oh well. Today 14070. And I am tired. I worked cleaned the house scrubbed the floors and put up Christmas decorations and tree.
@Cafelelia CONGRATULATIONS!! You look amazing. And I think you look great in both pics. I don’t feel as though before after pics make me think there was anything lacking from the older version of you. I feel like it allows you to see how far you’ve come. And it’s so easy to forget. For me they are a reminder to keep going.
@kiane50 nice loss!!
@mindtrelofsarcasm I’m so glad you posted that one day isn’t going to make a big difference. I see a lot of people on other forums who just want to give up over a slip or a bad day. I think everyone needs to know we are human and will screw up. But all that matters is that you pick yourself up again and again.
@KUMEcyclingteam that is a talent! Those cakes are soo neat looking!1 -
One more heading your way ... Please welcome @FoodieNo1 1

@KUMEcyclingteam
Love the cakes! I definitely laughed at the last one.🤣 That was great! You are talented!
I also loved your little "rant" about the scale after Thanksgiving. I ate too much then too. (also ate too much today(Friday). My sister is a good cook and I was at her house both days and like you couldn't put my fork down.😯 Glad I didn't have access to a scale today so I don't know if I gained a little or a lot.🤔2 -

Aww! Love the Sunny pics! He is so cute!1 -

Happy Saturday everyone. Sunny would play catch 24/7 if you were willing to play with him. It is never ending energy! My son made lobster bisque last night and it was amazing! He is actually a really good cook - way better than me!!4 -
A quick check in to catch up
I am happy how Thanksgiving went. I did overeat but didn't stuff myself, I felt in control for a change. Yesterday I planned to have left overs that I also overate but once again didn't stuff myself. Back to my routine today. I also did 2 5Ks! The second wasn't planned lol! I decided to veer off my route to get some extra Christmas lights. Wasn't smart because I ended up buying more and lugging them home. I will post my pics from the 5k after this.
Hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a nice one. Let's finish November strong!
@lennoncpa I just love seeing pics of Sunny! What a cutie!
@KUMEcyclingteam You never cease to amaze me. Those cakes are amazing! My birthday is in January...just saying
(just not that toilet cake lol!)
@Cafeleia Congratulations! I am so glad you came back way back when I reached out! Not just for you, for our whole team and especially me! xo.

Pics from my 5k. If they loaded in the correct order, it is our bar, the outdoor tent we were allowed due to the Covid restrictions, our church, the golf course (I walk by this all the time) and finally my house!
I always have trouble posting pics and had to do this from my phone so I hope they posted correctly

Check in for Friday 11/27
I spent the night at my sister's house on Thanksgiving, which was nice. We don't spend a lot of time together. She's a great cook and I ended up eating too much on Friday too and not enough water. I did ok for exercise though. I did my PT exercises, 15 minutes of low intensity exercise and my sister, brother in law and I went for a 30 minute walk in the woods near their house.
I've needed new shoes for a long time and got an email that the shoe store I go to was having a sale so I went and got some. I went at the right time since there was only one other customer in the store while I was there and since I knew exactly what I wanted I was in and out of the store in less than 15 minutes.

@lennoncpa Sunny pics are such a bright spot! Love that little guy! And I bet that lobster bisque was great!
Lovely pics @sleepymom5!
Thanksgiving is done - over-ate for sure, but didn't go overboard. Sure, I had a big plate and of course there was pie, but I felt like the rest of the day wasn't bad. Played a little golf with the hubs and my bro and sis in law while the kids fished, so even got in a little exercise.
I know I still need some routine and consistency. I haven't been able to get that going for myself in a while. I need to do more than set a goal - I need to find a way to get motivated and be accountable that'll work for me.
Thinking....
Gotta go get ready to watch the little one play football today!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my daughter's with the family, my son and grandkids were there. Chris (GS) is home from college until mid January and happy about that. He didn't get along with his roommate so changing that next semester. I ate two servings of turkey and sweet potatoes - was told I would need t run around the neighborhood to work it off! But the scale didn't move much the next morning. I am good with it. The brownies I made are very good - I ate several small pieces - and apple pie was delicious too.
I will have to ease up on all this in the next few days so I don't gain too much.2 -
Sorry for late weigh in 147.0
I haven’t been working out nor tracking past couple of weeks
Just need to get mentally back to it.3 -
Hi all;
Weigh in for going ape.
Saturday weigh in day
Previous weight - 152.6
New weight - 149.4
This weeks loss -3.2
Overall loss 70!
Happy day! I made it to the 140’s. I’m Canadian so no turkey dinner here but my husband did roast a chicken, and I made a bunch of side dishes and it was a larger than usual meal. My youngest requested Christmas crack, which I made but I managed to stop at one serving. Progress.
It’s supposed to be warm here today so I’m going to venture out for the 5K. This week has been a treading water kind of week. I skipped my exercise classes and hardly left the house. We have new restrictions so we must now mask up during all exercise. I’m going to look for a different mask to wear, something lightweight as my face usually gets extremely hot and red. Think tomato.
I’ll be doing some decorating here. I’m happy to start feeling Christmas spirit in the air.
@Cafelelia so happy for you, I love your goal weight reward.
@lennoncpa sunny is such a doll.
@KUMEcyclingteam loving those cakes!!! The little hat on the turkey was adorable.

Hello all ~
I'm loving your Thanksgiving updates. Such happy memories.
My neighbour and I went walking this evening and the funny thing was that my Fitbit and her Apple Watch both ran out of charge. So, I went home and recorded our walk on Map My Walk (a sister site of MFP). We walked 6.34 km and saw this.
