October 29 - November 4
LW: 126.8 TW: 126.6 I'm good with a .2 reduction this week. I think I've dialed in food logging and have my rotation of meals pretty much set, but my cardio exercise has decreased and been a bit hit and miss, so as I get more busy this time of year, I need to prioritize that and plan time for it. So, that's my goal this…

October 22-28, 2025
LW: 134.2 TW: 133.8 Typically, my weight varied day to day with a low of 132.4 and a high of 134.2. I'm a bit disapppointed that each end was not lower because I increased my activity a bit, and so of course my kcals burned was a little higher, too. But it is what it is. Here are my 7-day averages: Steps = 11,260 Kcals…

Oct. 15 - Oct 21
LW: 127.8 TW: 127.2 I'm happy with that. Getting right back to logging food, focusing on protein, vegetables, water while staying under my calorie limit is what is working for me. There is Halloween candy in the house (thanks hubby who never gains weight 😆). This last week I tried varying my exercise by doing a HIIT…

October 8-14, 2025
LW: 134.0 TW: 133.8 So essentially the same, which is a disappointment since I had fairly decent calorie deficient most days and my activity was pretty good. But I'm still not getting much sleep (about 5 to 6 hours) and I'm still feeling more anxiety than is typical for me. I just said to a neighbor that it's odd that in a…

October 1-7, 2025
LW: 133.2 TW: 134.0 Sorry I did not get here yesterday to post, but I did weigh and collect my averages. It's a bit frustrating to see an increase even though my steps and burn with both better, and in fact, this was the first week since my surgery that my steps averaged more than 10K (10,447) and my kcals burned was above…

September 24-30, 2025
LW: 133.8 TW: 133.2 Well, at least I'm back to what I was the first couple of weeks of September. I think I'm probably just holding steady though, since we know that weight varies day by day. I'll feel like I'm moving in the desired direction once that third number is a two. Not a lot to report this week. I made it to…

Sept. 17-23, 2025
LW: 133.2 TW: 133.8 Arghh. I just seem to be stuck in the 133's. I am becoming convinced that somehow my metabolism did change with the colon resection. So despite the small upward bump, I'm going to focus on the positive, which is that my 7 day averages for both steps and kcals burned are both a bit higher than they were…

September 10-16, 2025
LW: 133.2 TW: 133.2 Well, I was suprised to see this number this morning, and because of that upward movement yesterday, I was also relieved. I won't say happy because of course I want to get back to my pre-surgery weight, but I am relieved to have that third number be a 3 and not a 4. As I look back, I see that I've…

Sept. 3 - Sept. 9
LW: 128.8 TW: 128.2 I'm happy that my average reduction number is the same, but I know it will slow down at some point. I've been very busy this last week. First, hubby came down with a bad cold, which later we decided it was the flu. He was quite upset because his fishing trip to Alaska is this week (he left early this…

August 27 - September 2
LW: 129.2 TW: 128.8 It's impossible to believe it's going to be September soon. Well, I'm making steady progress. Hopefully by our trip I'll get there. Lois, I know you're leaving for DL tomorrow, so be safe and have a great time . . I know you will. I admire anyone who Is crafty, but the only things I ever did with crafts…

August 20-26, 2025
LW: 133.2 TW: 133.0 Just hanging steady. Good thing is that my lower tummy does feel a little better this week. I notice it most when I stand from a seated position. Doesn't pull as much. Once again, my 7-day average did not quite reach 9K steps. It was 8,499, which I don't think was too bad given that day that my fitbit…

August 13 - August 19
LW: 130.6 TW: 129.8 Yay! I'm so glad to see the 120s (barely). I was able to focus more the last 3 days because hubby went fishing with his brother up near Wyoming, getting back last night. Unfortunately, the didn't get any fish, and hubby didn't have a very good time with his brother. Apparently he had a lot of trouble…

Aug 6 - Aug 12
Last time: 131.6 TW: 130.6 I'm not surprised that I would reduce due lots of activity with my granddaughter(s) last week . . they keep me moving. I'm still tired, lol, but was able to get a long walk and just over 10K steps yesterday. Thanks for the inspiration Sarah. Lois, I previously forgot to say that my doctor also…

July 30 - Aug 5, 2025
I can't believe I'm the first post this week. It's been quite a while since this has occurred. Woot Woot. Thanks Kelly - yeah, I didn't realize it last year until I walked out that it wasn't a complete physical as I had experienced in the past. And this year we were having so many conversations with what's happening with…

July 23-29, 2025
LW: 131.8 TW: 133.2 (I cannot believe I just did this. I typed out a long post, then pulled up a new tab to check on a book title that I had blanked out, and I lost the whole darned thing! So here I go again!) Regarding the weight, I had said "Ouch," because although I knew I'd probably gain some as I recovered from the…

July 16-22, 2025
LW: 129.4 TW: 131.8 Well, that's a bummer. 😐️I can only surmise that it's the result of not being able to burn as many kcals because I can't move around that much and still trying to follow that igher calorie post-surgery diet plan. (That ends on Sunday.) But the soreness is improving. I have one area that is still pretty…
-
July 9 - July 15
LW: 133.0 TW: 132.6 Logging food works, lol. But, frustratingly slowly. I had my trainer Monday, and yesterday we were supposed to play golf, but it was just too hot. So, we moved that to Friday because it's supposed to be a bit cooler, so I have to get some cardio today because yesterday I ended up just doing housework…
-
July 2 - July 8
LW: 133.6 TW: 133.0 Well, one full week of focus gets me some progress. I can't believe how hard it is to get small reductions . .lifted with my trainer Monday, yesterday walked (some jogging) 4 miles on the TM, and we just got back from 9 holes of golf, but with a cart. It was so hot and muggy. Sarah, I'm thinking about…
-
June 25 - July 1
LW: 133.6 TW: 133.6 No reduction, but considering the week I've had, not having an increase is good. Sarah, the new ball park is nice, but not really any larger, which surprised me. There's still a nice view of the mountains. It's farther away from our house, and of course everything costs much more. But, we had fun! It…

WBL: 130.8 LW: ??? TW: 130.4 Got home last night around 9 p.m. Would have gotten here sooner, but there were bad thunderstorms just south of DC that resulted in several accidents. and we missed the exit for the express lanes and were stuck on the beltway for a long, long time. The double funeral was held on Tuesday…

June 11 - June 17
My heart, prayers and thoughts are with you Sarah. Keep us updated. We're here for you. I had my first appointment with the bariatric team yesterday. It was just an intro meeting discussing the process, protocol, expectations and start thinking of goals and small goals. They use an app - baritastic - very similar to MFP…

June 4 - June 10
LW: 132.2 TW: 132.8 Yikes. I'm not even sure why I'm up that much, other than my trainer was out of town on Monday and I didn't get a workout. She's coming today, so I'll have to get going soon. Sarah, I hope you're feeling a little better. It worries me that you haven't started the posts yet. I had a day yesterday at a…

May 28-June 3, 2025
LW: 129.6 TW: 128.2 Before anyone ways "way to go!", let me tell you that the way that 1.4 pounds came off is NOT the way you want it to! It has been a very trying week. After I posted the last time (last Thursday), I realized that my lower tummy was again feeling sore. So knowing a holiday weekend was coming up, I called…
-
May 21-27, 2025
LW: 129.6 TW: 129.6 Steady as she goes. And I'm relieved because it has been quite the week. Because of this my steps were down again. Several nights, I got on the TM very late and I was so tired that around 7 to 8K was all I could muster. Saturday was one of those days. The trip to the celebration in PA included about 4…

May 14 - May 20
LW: 131.2 TW: 131.2 Holding steady. I was hoping for a reduction before we leave for OR, but I guess not. Kelly, wow. You are really getting hit with a lot of stress and frustration. . and I really feel for you. The process of finding a house, the hope when you make an offer, and the let down when it doesn't work (and 4…

May 7-13, 2025
LW: 131.6 TW: 130.2 Well a little movement in the right direction. This past week was not quite as difficult as the one before, but I'm still struggling a bit. I've been off the antibiotics for 4 full days and the distended belly is a little better, although not back to pre-diverticulitis normal. I never got a response to…

April 30 - May 6
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.4 I'm just bouncing in the 130 - 131 range and my body feels healthy, so I'm thinking this is my weight, even though I would really like 125 better. My goodness, Lois. It seems like you and hubby are really getting hit with quite a lot! I'm sending good thoughts to you, your hubby, and your daughter. I…

LW: 131.0 TW: 129.8 Hi, all. Sorry I haven't been back around to post in the past few days (did read some posts), but it has been a tough few days in more ways than one. Of course with company coming for Easter dinner, I worked my fool self to death preparing food and cleaning. But dinner was lovely and we enjoyed seeing…

April 16-22, 2025
LW: 130.6 TW: 131.0 What a bummer way to start the day! But all I can do is log whatever the scales say and move on. I actually had a fairly decent week with kcals burned and steps taken. My 7-day averages were: Steps = 10,788; Kcals = 1,788. I can remember lamenting not that long ago that I just could not get that average…

April 9 - April 15
LW: 129.2 TW: 130.2 Ladies, I'm posting my weight today because we're about to get on the road for a mini golf trip to Nevada. We'll likely be back some time on Thursday or Friday. My trainer is off for her kids on their Spring Break. I worked out with her yesterday, and I'm feeling it today, so I doubt that I'll add any…
