Not sure what happened this week, I know I didn’t really gain 2.8 lbs ☹️
Time to carry on and do my best next week!7 -
I lost my post from earlier, darnit! It's raining so my pain is worse but I just got out of the tub so I'm hanging in there. Just did arm cardio and stretching this morning. Dealing with a stressful situation tomorrow, I'm going to try and stay out of it but someone is being a jerk over an animal and I'm pretty mad about it.5

@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm aiming for 55kg. I've never been that weight in my life. So it's just another 5kg or so to lose.
I'm 160cm so my BMI says that 60kg is average
What's your weightloss goal?
@apple852hk – Good job on the steady loss! May I ask what your goal weight is? And your height?

Weigh in Apple852hk
Week 2 - Dec 2020 Sunday
PW 134.4lbs (61kg)
CW 134.7lbs (61.1kg)
LTD about 45.8lbs (20.8kg)
Maintain - would have liked loss but I've been eating mince pies. Still only once mince pie a day, not every day, but I've found one in the supermarket with Frangipane toping and want to try that. Haven't brought it ...yet.
Went for only a walk twice this week. I keep saying I'll go for walk daily. Will walk on Monday, Wed and Fri weather permitting.
Forgot the suggestion to fold origami instead of eating chocolate. Reminder to myself, put paper needed near choc stash to help develop the habit.
I want to make Zimtsterne Cinnamon Stars as it's the season. All this cooking is suppose to make me less likely to snack on chocolate as I put effort in cooking why then just consume chocolate.
GOALS:
1. Fold a origami cube before eating a piece of chocolate everytime
2. Walk on Monday, Wed and Fri weather permitting
Have a good week ahead🥰

Thanks for all the great responses to my post last week. Loved the boat analogy. I meant to reply individually but the week has been manic (as usual!).
This week has been a mental challenge to not overeat all the sugary foods that abound at this time of year. I have been fairly successful. I'm disappointed the scale this morning has shown an (small) increase but upon analysing my week there was some self delusion going on. Okay, I wasn't eating the whole chocolate bar in one go but all the smaller bits were adding up.
If I was in maintenance this would be fine but I want to lose weight so new tactics are called for.
On a positive - I went back to Zumba and yoga (closed due to lockdown 2). Oh how my body aches but it is a good ache!
This week I'm going back to weighing and logging. I know it works and I need to be doing something different because what I am doing isn't working in the way I want it to.
Have a great week everyone

@TeresaW1020 Thanks! You should save your post and print it out so you can read it when you need it. Walks on the treadmill sound like a wise idea. I hope your back feels better soon. That's wonderful that your mom is now on board too!
@TwistedSassette Thanks! Aww, that is so cute. I'm glad he loved Santa. 1 1/2 weeks off sounds marvelous!
@Katmary71 I'm sorry your pain is worse. I hope that situation gets resolved soon. I know I am very sensitive about animal issues and I bet you are, too.
Hi all. I did pretty well yesterday, I tracked everything. I didn't drink enough water, that was my downfall. The Christmas decorations are up, see the pics below for this year's Christmas Village. One with the lights on, one with the lights off.

The surgery was long and I had torn the rotator cuff and my bicep. The doctor was able to repair everything, though. I've been on Norco, which suppresses appetite, so I've had no problem keeping my eating and check. I almost feel like it was the little boost that I needed.
I'm sorry I can't reply to everybody's posts, but I have been keeping up with reading them. Thank you for all of your prayers and well-wishes. I hope to be back to checking in more regularly very soon.3 -
@apple852hk I am 5 foot 4 and my goal is 145 lb. I have a larger bone structure, so my doctor said that he's happy if I am at 155 pounds. Haven't quite decided what I'm going to do yet, but I've got some time to get it figured out.1

The Green Challenge Percentage of people who lost weight this week. No matter how small the loss the weights are recorded in green. Remember that even if your team doesn’t rank the highest in weight loss for the week you can still be the Green Percentage winner by having the most losses in your team! So keep it up!!

@vegan4lyfe2012 it's good to know your stats. It seems like data wise we are similar but good to notice that it doesn't mean comparable.
We might be only 1inch different but our bone structures are different let alone fat distribution.
I always think of it like bra sizes; some women might wear the same bra size but their body type is totally different.
BMI is really just a indication. Losing muscle than fat as we get older can't be calculated unless you go for that special scan that scans your fat distribution.

@apple852hk I have an idea, how about making your own chocolate? You'd probably come out at maintenance instead of under but you'd burn off the candy calories crafting them!
@trooworld I love your village! My brother made the mistake of telling my aunt he liked her village and she gave it to him. I went over to babysit my nephews and my SIL had the "wonderful" idea that I could do it with my nephews who were like 4 and 6, she brought in a bunch of boxes and lights and my mouth just dropped! It's a whole universe, not a village! I was so happy to be making cookies instead the other day, I love how they look but it's a lot of lights to stick in those! Especially with two little boys!
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm so glad the surgery is behind you, prayers for a quick recovery! Are you able to get any rest? I recently had really weird dreams on Norco, I don't normally take it but was trying to avoid the ER and did recently. What is the recovery time?
I missed the height/weight comment and can't go back a page or I'll lose this. My height keeps going up which makes no sense, I'm about 5'5 and probably 155 right now, I look best around 140. I'm pear-shaped if that matters, I went down to a small on the top right away but my bottom half took forever to shrink. I was 122 when I finished losing and I looked too bony on top, people kept telling me I'd overdone it and I eventually agreed. I just didn't plan on putting on this much!
I stress-ate in the middle of the night, I'm going to have to re-evaluate some things. I was hoping to get more stable physically before making changes and part of me wants to wait until the 1st but if I do my jeans won't fit anymore! The cannabis tea is helping a lot, the salve makes me worse which if course makes no sense. Everyone thought I was nuts to try a tea by someone I barely knew but I started really small just in case and thank God it's helping some. It's the only time in a few months I've been under a pain level 8, the grower is a bit drama-filled but she's a good person so I'll probably at least keep in touch with her if not buy more.2 -
@TwistedSassette I knew right away that the cake was a racecar! And I’m sure your little guy thought it was perfect.
@krea4 Yup staying away from all the sugar that is everywhere this time of year is a real battle. After overdoing it last week I’m now working on moderation and substitutions where I can. You just stay positive and keep doing what you know works for you and that gain will come off.
@trooworld Your village is so cute! I just love it so much !
@vegan4lyfe2012 Nice loss this week! I’m glad that the surgery went well and you just take it easy and heal. You can post to us when your arm is all better.
@raleighgirl09 Wahhhoooo look at you coming in first place this week with individual percentage and pounds loss!! You go girl!!!
@Katmary71 I’m so glad that the tea is helping you a little. I hope the stress that you are under will lessen too.
Hi Team! Today was a good day. I taught kids in children’s church this morning and we had lots of fun together. This evening I’m going Christmas caroling with people from my church. We are going to visit the homes of our seniors and those that haven’t been to church because of the virus. It should be a fun time. My back is much better, but I can still feel it lingering so I’m being careful. I stuck to my plan today and I’ve decided to keep a food journal. I have no interest in tracking every little bite for calories or macros but I do think writing down what I eat will help me stay mindful and see where I might be having issues.
NEW YEAR CHALLENGE: 19 Days until January 1st
1.Fast Clean:I fasted 19 hours today.
2.Workout: I did 25 minute treadmill walk
3.Eat on plan: Another Keto day.3 -
@bethanie0825 Good job this week 😊
@itsmegina I’m glad you have the right perspective in knowing you didn’t really gain that much this week. It will drop back down soon, I’m sure.
@krea4 Zumba and yoga sound great! Glad you can get back to classes. Weighing & logging is always helpful 😊
@vegan4lyfe2012 I’m glad the surgery went well. Thinking of you and hoping for a speedy recovery. Meanwhile, congrats on the loss!
@raleighgirl09 Congrats on being the biggest loser for week 2!! Well done!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not much to update here, much of the same. I stayed home from work today with a headache, which I think is related to my recent lack of sleep.
Hoping to get our Christmas decorations up in the next day or so, now the little guy’s birthday is done. Still deciding where we are going to put the tree, not sure we can trust him to not pull everything down!

Sunday check in (another quickie)
Hi gang - it's been a day of non-compliance for habits, no other words for it. I'm settled in after a day of cleaning, getting my Raleigh home-office space in order, loading everything for a week here at the coast of NC (and driving 3 hours to get here) where we kinda, sorta split our time, and unpacking everything. Tomorrow is a new day - I'm planning the day's meals and 2 walks - have already set out my water bottle and set up my work space here.
Starting this week I am much more in a routine, I think it will be helpful.3 -
@vegan4lyfe2012 I'm glad the surgery went well. Congrats on the loss! I wish you a speedy recovery.
@Katmary71 Thanks! Oh my gosh, that must have been a lot of work for you! I can't imagine trying to put up a village with kids. I'm so glad the cannabis tea is helping.
@TeresaW1020 Thanks! I'm glad you had a good day and did something wonderful for the seniors.
Hi all. I had a nice weekend, I didn't really do anything, but it was nice. I did get to craft a bit, which I enjoy. I didn't track yesterday. I will go back and track now.
2 -
Well, I let the whole weekend go by reading posts but not responding and wow, there's a lot going on here. I'll do my best from memory.....
@raleighgirl09 - I think there should be a different word for maintenance. It sounds so boring and like it's not much to do. Active Resistance sounds much stronger, but that's not right. If you have any ideas let me know. If you write a book someday I'm buying it!
@trooworld I did check in daily and see you are back to regular tracking. Hooray for you! Oooh! And I love your village!
@Katmary71 - Wow, set up a huge village with 4 and 6 year olds.... that's an ambitious plan to lay on someone else.
@GretchenReine - so much pain you are going through with your family. Difficult to control weight loss when you don't control the food. I'm glad you are working on self care. Any habits you can work on related to self care AND physical health will be building blocks you can use later. I think it will also help you to feel good about yourself. Look for non scale victories. Here's one of mine- Husband walks really fast and I have to trot to keep up with him. Often I'd be out of breath and it was difficult to converse. I've been increasing my overall activity level and the conversational issues are gone. I'm proud of myself that I can keep up with him now!
@vegan4lyfe2012 - glad the surgery went well.
@TwistedSassette - cake- lovely. Son- so handsome! What an awesome day for him!
Not much new with me. I had a few lapses over the weekend, but nothing big. I know that I can't party all weekend and still lose, so I worked on staying close to plan.

Again not much to report here, much of the same.
I have booked myself in for a yoga class on Saturday morning which I'm so excited for. I haven't been to a class in forever because the lady who runs them here stopped doing them. Then she moved away. But she comes back to town every second weekend and so she's started up classes again! She's also a massage therapist so I have booked in for a massage with her on Sunday as well. This weekend should be so good before the stress leading up to Christmas!

Ok I seriously think there’s something wrong with my scale😬 there’s no way I lost this much since I only worked out 3 days this week and while I did try to watch what I ate, I’ve had better days. I will report it anyway but I honestly don’t think it’s right.
I’ll weigh in again tomorrow and see what it looks like.

I forgot to mention in my post - a while back I created my goal ladder and I made my rungs very close together (like, every couple of pounds) so that I'd always have a goal within reach. I put meaningful rungs, and some sillier rungs, then hid it away so I'd forget what the next rung is. I keep a spreadsheet with my records for my daily weigh-ins, calories in/out etc. as well as other goals I'm tracking. I made it so this sheet would tell me how far to the next rung (but not what it is) and would tell me what the current rung I'm standing on is.
Anyway, this morning, I entered my weight from my daily weigh in, and it tells me that I've lost a whole raccoon!
I thought you guys would get a kick out of this so I figured I'd share

I love catching up on how everyone is doing. I’m sorry I haven’t been able to comment on everyone’s post. It is a really crazy time at work at a time when it is already busy for the Christmas holidays. Trying to get things wrapped up by Friday. I am taking off the last two weeks of the year. Looking forward to a calmer time and a time to really enjoy the time with family.
I will do my best to check in more often. I did try something new today. My hubby and I got a Pickleball lesson. I have wanted to try for a long. I finally thought my knees might could handle it. It was so fun. Can’t wait to play again.
Hope everyone has an awesome week!!4 -

Monday check in
Hey, ho gango. I am in a real funk from the weekend and into Monday, now. BUT. I am checking in. I have logged most everything and it's racking up - I didn't get the water in or a walk as it was raining most all day. Looking to improve tomorrow!
I am really struggling with the covid stuff - this feels like an excuse but is also true. So. There's that. =>4 -
Sammydee2015 Weekly weigh in Missed! No clue where I am as scale is dead and I have no car for a week.
Need to take the rest of December off to get some ducks in a row.
I would still like to be a cheerleader so
can you please keep me on the roster for January though?!

Wow, I had tech issues this morning and then an odd schedule later in the day. I have been thinking of you guys and am just now catching up.

@raleighgirl09 - I so feel you on the funk today.
@adhmrh - Hang in there with your busy rest-of-the-week! I love that you guts got a pickleball lesson as a present!
@TwistedSassette - Oh, my. THANK YOU for the giggle. It had not occurred to me when I built my goal ladder to have silly goals! I really love that you have lost a raccoon!
Okay, off to get in at least a little movement, and I'll finish catching up first thing in the a.m.!3 -
@TeresaW1020 Definitely be careful with your back! Have fun caroling, that sounds like a blast!
@TwistedSassette How will you be doing classes, will they be doing them outside? It would be frustrating right now to be an instructor and have to teach so many less people than normal. I hope you have a great time!
Monday check-in

@Cornanda Thank you! I'm glad you are fighting the good fight.
@TwistedSassette Ooh yoga and then a massage the next day sounds wonderful! I hope you enjoy it. That is so cool that you have lost a raccoon! I love that you put that on your goal ladder. I made a goal ladder and then forgot about it so thanks for the reminder. I added some fun weight equivalents to mine.
@adhmrh That's good you are taking two weeks off, that will be nice. WTG, trying something new!
Hi all. I didn't do so well yesterday, my dog is very sick and had to stay overnight at the vet's. I'm stress-eating. Hopefully we have good news when I talk to the vet this morning and I can go back to normal.3 -
Good morning Team! I'm just popping on for a quick check-in. Yesterday, my sweet hubby bought me a new computer and I spent a lot of time yesterday taking down my old one and trying to hook up the new one. Seems I need a wi-fi adapter which hubby went to pick up this morning.
I also have a hair appointment in about thirty minutes so I'm not sure if I will make it back on today., I'm sending you all happy vibes and hope that your day is awesome! 2 -
