@carlsoda
Sorry to hear about the gallbladder surgery but hopefully it gets you feeling back in tip top shape!
@eggfreak
Hope your dad is okay (and you by extension!)
@jugar
Absolutely... that would be great if we can arrange a time that works.. you know I'll be down. It would be nice to see you again.
Well, there are lots of difficult family conversations going on... Brad's mom is in her mid-80's and she lives alone in quite a large house. There is talk between the siblings about the next phases for her, a burnt out sister, and lots of different opinions.. just tough stuff.
On the plus side, Brad and I got her out for a fish and chips dinner in Bobcaygeon... her first outing since COVID... it was a really nice time.
Hug your loved ones!6 -
Families - it all comes wrapped up with tough stuff and wonderful moments. Thanks for sharing about yours! @eggfreak your experience with your 93 year-old dad and my 95 year-old dad sound like we're singing some of the same songs, but you do it every day. I take my hat off to you - they are some kind of crazy handful, those old codgers! You did great keeping it to one glass of wine. Bring on the fizz! And @ashleycarole86 it sounds like you were able to give Brad's mom a lovely outing. The tough decisions still have to happen, but at least you had some good time eating fish and chips.
I got some great silly photos from my daughter today and can't wait to get there next week!
But right now, it is time to wrap up this week. LAST CALL for weigh-ins - get them in by Sunday morning please

Thanks!5 -
@carlsoda I had my gallbladder out 10 years ago. I had joined weight watchers and lost a lot of weight quickly which is most likely what caused it. Just make sure to limit fatty foods after or have a bathroom nearby! I had an OR nurse tell me that is the most common surgery done (in North Carolina at least).
My week has been so-so. We had a nice Easter dinner at my in-laws tonight, so there was plenty of food and desserts. I did limit myself to 1 plate though, so even though I ate more than I should, I could have eaten a lot more. It's also been rainy and cold the past 2 days. We lost power for a few hours yesterday, but nothing like what it sounded like for @PlaneMonkey!5 -
Happy Easter everyone!
I'm currently away visiting my sister in the Netherlands. She lives in a lovely city called Kampen and I'm loving hearing the church bells ringing and calling people to worship as I type.
Anyway, I had originally asked for the week off from logging as I am away for Easter. However, as I weigh myself daily, and I flew out last Wednesday, it occurred to me that I still have some data to report on. The same applies next week as I go home on Wednesday too.
And although I am not doing my planned workout routines, I am being active in other ways. I'm still walking, for example!
So I hereby rescind my previous request for a week off.
Back in a jiffy!6 -
Back again with my weigh-in.
PW - 186.2
CW - 185.75 -
A few pix of Kampen - and me!2

on to Sunday and not a single chocolate egg in sight - only colored boiled ones. That makes things a LOT easier. Now the quiche....another matter, will try to send any leftovers home with folks.
Have a nice day all.
Since returning to checking in to Waistaways more, BOY is MFP still sluggish - I half-wonder if it's the powers that be trying to get people to sign up for a paid membership.4 -
Before we get to the results, I want to take a second to sprinkle some science on you:
A pound is approximately 3500 calories. Gained or lost, that does not change. Seeing a whoosh, in either direction, from time to time, is typically indicative of water weight.
And water weight? That's a sign that your body is processing what you have put into it, whether that be filtering salt and sugar, repairing muscles, filtering toxins, pushing through illness, etc.
Your body does not know that you are trying to lose fat, it just wants to keep you alive. That's all.

And YES dammit, MFP is on a sluggish streak that is making me nuts. I just got fast internet a couple of days ago after years and years of slow satellite rural blah internet. Now everything works so fast. Except MFP which has decided to be snail-like. Only the community side, mind you - so it has little to do with the membership status. The other side where you track things seems to be as usual. Hmmmmph.strong_fit_ells wrote: Β»PW 236.9lbs, I think? π€
