Thursday Weigh Day
PW: 218.6
CW: 221.6
Up again. Bouncing right around 220 has been my standard for about the last year (my high weight was ~270), better than a gain, but I'd still like to lose around another 50 pounds. There are 10 more days in April, my mantra for them is 'Forward'. Then to carry that momentum into May. Next goal is to get down to 204--transitioning from the big O (Obese) to the little o (overweight).

Good evening all. Glad this week is ending.
Check in for 4/21:
Steps - 4879. Just worked some around the house and walked the parking lot when I picked up daughter from work.
Calories - 1835 or close. I had candy today so I can start getting rid of it. Controlled how much I had. 3 days without was surprising. I need to get back into the habit of not eating any for a week or more. Weight tomorrow will show if the sugar is making me jump.
Exercise - none. Stayed home waiting on phone calls that never came.
I am supposed to have surgery in 2 weeks and no pre-op scheduled yet. Not a good sign.3 -

I like your mantra. I just calculated my weight for the transition and I have a way to go as I am a shorty.Good evening all. Glad this week is ending.

Awesome loss!1 -
Steps: 4,464
Exercise: none
PW 204.8
CW 203.8
My rheumatologist appointment went well over all. My liver enzymes are back to normal so thankfully no medication change. I didn’t get cortisone as I have to get some imaging done first. She will call me once they come back.
I am so happy with my weigh in. That’s a loss for three weeks in a row. Over the last few weeks, I have dropped my calories slightly and started taking rest days. Also, I am trying not to eat all my exercise calories.
Happy FriYAY!6 -

PW: 222.2
CW: 223.0. +0.8 LBS

Good evening everyone. Quiet today.
Check in for 4/22:
Steps - 2709.
Calories - 1700
Exercise - none. Waited in vain for phone calls again. Cold and windy outside so not even a quick walk.
@lindamtuck2018 I think I will go into maintenance at the end of the month. I don't know what all is needed. Even if I don't get the surgery for some reason. I don't think I will lose much more.1 -

I just move you to the maintenance part of the spreadsheet. You will need to pick a maintenance range. Most people pick a 5 to 7 pound range. If you are above the range for 2 weeks you then move back to the main team until you are in your range again. There is a maintenance chat and I will get you the link. You still do your check ins and report your weight on our team chat.1 -
Steps: 14,001
Exercise: 60 minutes of water exercises and laps
Did mostly water aerobics yesterday and swam for 11 minutes. It’s grocery shopping day so my pool time will be short. For some reason my weight had a whoosh this morning so I am hoping to hang on to that for Friday.4
