I want to change my weigh-in day to Saturday. Yesterday 219.6, today 218.6. This has been happening for quite a while so let's see if this helps my mental state🙂
Dream Job ~ Right now it's retirement and making health and exercise be my job! But I've actually worked my Dream Job and that was in IT. I'm still in the field now but my current work isn't as satisfying as it used to be and I'm ready to retire. But..when I was a programmer - I loved it because it was self rewarding! I'd write code that would solve a problem or give someone information that they needed and I didn't have to wait for recognition. If it worked, then that was my satisfaction. I also enjoyed project management in my field but not as much as programming!

Friday Weigh-In
PW: 219.2
CW: 219.6
Motto: 🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!! Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
Recap: I've been doing really well with water this week and exercise continues to be consistent including the HIIT process. This week I've become facinated that the Apple watch counts flights of stairs..so I've been finding stairs to climb just to see that number tick up! Max 4, so far!🙂 I've been over on calories pretty much all week. The ironic part is I actually planned meals/dinners for the entire month of April, primarily from skinnytaste.com. Some of them have been really good, and that's when my portion control issues come into play. I also haven't been targeting low carb and I know that's a killer for me.
Goals for April - Water ~ get to 80

Favorite Ice cream > Butter Pecan🙂
I would be Fall > I love the colors, love the cool mornings and warm afternoons.
Chips > I'd probably kill for Ruffles!
3 words > Reliable, Faithful and stubborn🙂 (the first three words that came to mind)
Sport > I'm not much of a sports player these days. I used to play badminton in high school and college, and I used to bowl.
@myhands4God ~ Welcome back! Puppy pictures please!!🙂
@lindamtuck2018 ~ Sorry you're in so much pain, but great job in getting the 20 minute walk in! I like what @Trillium54 said about brushing teeth. I'm going to try that. Even if you do eat after brushing, it doesn't take the same.
@Nachdeezy ~ So close for real!! Keep going, you got this!!
I'm looking for a walking partner for the challenge next week. Any one want to team up?
If you haven’t found anyone I am game. My step goal is 5,500 and some days go over that. The challenge will push me to get the steps done.0 -

PW: 140.7 pounds (Sat. March 23rd: 3 weeks ago: Was back down 0.7 pounds)
CW: 145.0 pounds (Sat. April 13th: today: Gained 4.3 pounds)
Being going through a really rough time physically and emotionally.
Have been able to do some walking for exercise some days which is good for me.
Healthy eating has been on and off.
Some days I have made healthy choices and other days I have given into binge eating junkfood or gotten unhealthy take out instead of cooking which I despise doing.
Only goal right now is to keep trying and to keep putting one foot in front of the other.
My main goal right now is to halt anymore weight gain and to eventually work my way back down to 139.7 pounds which is what I weighed on February 17th.
Need to lose 5.3 pounds to get back to the weight I was 8 weeks ago.
Be kind to yourself as you go through this. You will get back down to your low weight. Hugs!1 -

I ended up resting again yesterday. I knew this morning that I wasn’t able to walk because of my back. I said enough is enough and I went to the pool. I soaked and stretched in the hot tub before my swim. After the swim, I went back in the hot tub to stretch.1 -

I remember going through this stage with my son. Parental lesson...pick your battles. He got over it. My only rule was...I should NOT be able to see your underwear. If I see your underwear, I WILL pull your pants all the way down!1 -

Good morning @Megan_smartiepants1970! Hope all is well with you. I just wanted to say you are continuing doing a great job having taken on the weigh-in efforts in addition to step tracking work. Thank you!
Here are my numbers:
Member Name: rwillems
Weigh-in Day: Sunday
PW: 266.8 lbs
CW: 259.0 lbs (down 7.8 lbs)
Wow! Good week for sure. As I reported last week, I was a little under the weather last Saturday and Sunday. I guess that is what it took to bust through the mid 260’s plateau I had been on. Whatever the reason, I am determined not to allow myself to slip back up again!
Hope everyone has a great week!

I am super tired today. I forgot to take my pills last night. I couldn’t figure out why I wasn’t sleeping. I got to bed at 1:30 am. Everytime I started to doze off either my husband’s snoring or my granddaughters cough woke me up. Husband I can kick but not so much my sick granddaughter . I am making her keep her distance as I can’t get sick. My surgeons appointment is on Thursday. My mantra is don’t get sick, don’t get sick. She is in college so exposed to lots of bugs, No exercise today as I am too tired. The next two days are going to be nice so I am aiming to get outdoors for a walk.

Oh my, @cormierannie, I am so sorry to hear that. You, your family, and certainly your fiancé will be in
my thoughts and prayers. May God look down and help you through this difficult period. Be happy in the thought that your fiancé is now in the glory of God’s house.
Rick
