    Hi @lindamtuck2018 and @Megan_smartiepants1970

    Can you please excuse me for this coming week as I’ll be traveling and won’t be able to weigh in nor get very many steps in. I will check in if I can but I can’t promise anything. I’ll be back for check in on the 31st.

    Wishing you all a very merry Christmas / happy holidays 🎄🥂🍾🎅🏼

    Wishing you a very Merry Christmas ...save travels :)

    I made a mistake with someone's steps so I am doing a top 6 this week ...I apologize :)
  • New me, goodbye fatfifties. Welcome slimmersixties! I'm 90lb down, thrown out my old clothes and my old name. I'm the lightest I've ever been as an adult.
    Having a couple of steady months then in February when I'm back travelling in the rv going to have a final big push to reach my goal weight (5 to 12lb away) before my 60th birthday

    Thats amazing, well done to you. Enjoy your slimmer sixties
  • Quite pleased with myself so far this week, been surrounded by so much food, especially chocolate and cake and ive not felt tempted at all, im keeping im mind i dont want to put the weight back on over Christmas

    Well it finally happened! After 2 1/2 years dodging the dreaded COVID19 bug my wife, daughter and I have all succumbed to it this past week. I barely got my numbers in this past Sunday, sorry for the late delivery. We are all recovering nicely and hope to be back to "normal" before Christmas, although we have to mask up before joining any group activities.

    Anyway, Merry Christmas to all of my friends here, may the joy of the season bless you all.

    Good morning! I will go back through the posts when I get back from my much needed injections for my back. We were delayed yesterday and when we landed they couldn’t find my walker. I already lost my cane on the way down. It was very late by the time we got home. I am really missing my morning pina colda but it’s back to reality. We have a big storm headed our way just in time for a white Christmas.


    @Megan_smartiepants1970
    Thanks for the help while I was gone.

    I can’t remember when I posted my steps last. Let me know if I am missing any days.

    No change this week in weight, but in terms of measurements I've lost
    3cm on my waist
    2cm on my hips
    2cm on my thighs
    2cm on my calves and
    1cm on my upper arms

    It's nice to see that the weight loss at the moment is nicely divided over my entire body 😊

    You are very welcome :) Great steps this week

    Walking between the pool and the beach add up. I was shocked how high they are as I used my walker a lot.

    I got out of the habit of logging and I gained. I was just starting to get back into it and of course, didn’t log while I was away. Let’s both commit to logging.

    I am ok with this. My weight is actually up from yesterday morning. I barely ate Wednesday and Thursday. I had a sandwich at 11pm last night as I felt hungry. Besides that I had a couple of bites of an apple. I haven’t drank much water also. Once I finish my coffee it’s water time.

    We are having a big storm today. I still have some stuff to do for Christmas but we are waiting until tomorrow morning. I won’t be walking over to the pool house. It’s slippery and I don’t want a fall. @JaysFan82 what is it like in the Windsor area.

    Here’s a couple of pictures of my holidays. I truly don’t like the way I look so it’s time to get serious. The 12 pounds I gained really makes a difference. The one picture is of my beautiful daughter and granddaughters.
