LW: 129.4 TW: 129.8 Hi, all. Well, it has been a tough week in some ways. Weight-wise, I'm relieved to be under 130 today, as I saw 131.0 on two days this week. 🙁 My intake and my acitivity were about the same as the week before, so the explanation is not obvious, but I struggled with fatigue a lot at the first of the week…

March 26-April 1, 2025
LW: 129.6 TW: 129.4 I'm relieved because yesterday was one of those days when I was just hungry all day. It's odd how sometimes I'll have a period of time when activity and intake are good and I expect a loss that doesn't show up, and then I'll have a period of time when those things aren't so good and I'll either stay the…

March 19-25, 2025
LW: 130.8 TW: 129.6 Whew. I was getting concerned about the way my weight was creeping up. But although this week's weight is better, I have recognized my tendency to eat when I'm not really hungry and that is something I have to recognize and not do. Last night, it was Lays lightly salted chips, which I ate after dinner,…

March 12 - March 18
LW: 128.8 TW: 128.6 March 18th?! The year is flying by! Well, lower activity, so that makes sense. Hubby had cataract surgery on his second eye yesterday . . continuing our conversation, he just can't seem to learn how to put eyedrops in his own eyes 🙄 lol. Playing nurse . . Kelly, my new goals have been going pretty well.…

March 5-11, 2025
LW: 130.0 TW: 130.2 Yep. The not moving as much and the comfort eating are taking their toll. With appetite, I find the oddest thing. I actually feel hungrier for a short time after I eat than I was before I ate anything. Wondering if that's a blood sugar thing? I do know that I have to acknowledge that and get myself past…

Feb 26-Mar 4
LW: 169 TW: 168.8 Slowly but surely. Hopefully no one is posting at the same time as me and starting the thread. I wasn't as diligent with my eating this past week, but I'm still getting in more and more activity everyday so that's helping. Work is stupid busy.. last week of me covering 2 jobs.. and the house goes on the…

Feb 19-25, 2025
LW: 171.3 TW: 169 Yay! It sure is motivating when I see the numbers move downward. On top of that, I'm noticing my pants are fitting better, I'm not as bloated all the time and my mood is mostly better lol I think I might have to get rid of 1 of my goals. The food tracking really just isn't for me. It's making it seem like…

Feb 12-18, 2025
LW: 128.8 TW: 128.6 Hi, all. I hope that I'm not creating the weekly post at the same time as someone else. I used to get online earlier, but these days, I get up and have coffee and read the paper, shower, dress, and make the bed, and then it's time to hit the road to get to treatment. From there I go to the mall to walk,…

Feb 5 - Feb 11
LW: 131.0 TW: 130.4 Now I know for sure that for me it's about intake. I haven't moved more, in fact quite a bit less, but food intake has decreased. Maybe I "shrunk my stomach", but I just don't feel like eating everything on my plate. The lab tests came back normal, so the doctor said to take Metamucil every day, and if…

Jan 29 - Feb 4
LW: 131.8 TW: 131.0 Kelly, just reading about your allergy test made me itchy, lol. I hope you figure it all out. It's good information for the spring / summer to come. Good luck. Your anniversary at the cabin sounds wonderful. <3 Sarah, I'm hoping to see an update on your treatments. . been thinking about you. Going every…

Jan 22-28, 2025
LW: 128.4 TW: 128.4 Okay. Well holding kind of steady. I'm actually grateful to have seen a little up and down in the past few days. Monday, I think it was 129.6. I hope that movement means that my digestive system is beginning to normalize. I am feeling much better, although I still have a little tenderness and my energy…

Jan 15 - Jan 21
LW: 133.2 TW: 132.6 I credit my reduction to not feeling well, not having much appetite. We shall see if I can keep it off. Lois, I'm hoping your drive to Scottsdale today goes smoothly, with minimal traffic and no back pain. Kelly, thinking of you and Shawn . . hope he's done with kidney stone pain. Sarah, let us know how…

Jan 8 - 14
First, I can't believe I'm the one starting the thread this week. WOOT WOOT Super long - grab a cup of coffee or tea :) Happy 2025 Ladies. So sorry for being MIA. I signed off work at noon on 12/20/2024 and did my best to stay offline until I returned on Monday, January 6, 2025. I did jump on twice in between, thinking it…

Jan 1-7, 2025
LW: ?? TW: 129.8 I can't believe that I didn't even jot down on my calendar what I weighed on December 18, but that was the day after we learned that my step-niece died, and it was also the day we took Teddy to the specialty vets. Then that Thursday, my class was observed again, and I did some more volunteer work that…

Posting a Day Late 12/26 - 12/31
LW: 133.8 TW: 134.0 I have to be so quick. I've been thinking about you all and have wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you ladies who I rely on to keep me motivated and cared about. I really appreciate you all so much. Sarah, I'm so very sorry about your niece. I'm sure your visit to see you sister and…

Dec 18 - Dec 24
LW: 134.2 TW: 133.8 I think that reduction is mostly from being too busy to eat much, lol. Once again, I have managed to squeeze in some exercise (trying to get my Dec Apple Challenge badge so I'll have all 12 months, lol) but not logging food. Although, I did have salads twice for dinner. So, I'm trying. Sarah, I'm so,…

Dec 11-17, 2024
LW: 130.2 TW: 129.2 Thankfully, I weighed in today at the lower end of my arc. Trust me--my weight fluctuates 2 to 3 pounds from day to day and for no discernable reason sometimes. Last night we treated a couple of our friends to dinner at a nice, new restaurant. It's Chinese, but not your typical Chinese. Their menu is a…

Dec 4 - Dec 10
Last time: 133.2 TW: 134.0 Okay, a pretty decent gain. Not unexpected though with the holiday and family here. Sarah, I feel so bad about your Teddy. I really hope he (she?) improves. It's such bad timing for you. You are the best pet "mama" though. . you really look after your pets with so much love. Glad you finally got…

November 27-December 3, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.6 Hi, all. I have limited time today and will have to come back to chat later. But I wanted to at least log my weight and and 7-day averages, which were: Steps =10,205 Kcals burned= 1,710 Happy Thanksgiving Lois and Sheesh. Kelly, I know this is a U.S. holiday, but hope you have a nice, relaxing weekend.…

November 20-26, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.4 So steady as she goes, which I'm grateful to see considering that my intake and sleep are off due to the stress of dealing with my treatments. Long story short as I can make it, I've been waiting for a call to give me some information I need about scheduling my radiation treatments. The technician said…

November 13-19, 2024
LW: 128.2 TW: 129.4 Sorry to be a day late posting my weight this week. I suspect that I'm not the only one with a lot of balls in the air. Just got back from my set-up appointment at the radiologist. I've been a bit anxious about my treatment. Since this is such a rare diagnosis, there are not a lot of studies and data…
-
November 6-12, 2024
LW: 129.6 TW: 128.2 Well, I'm really surprised. With all the stress, availability of Halloween candy, and just not having the mental/physical/emotional energy to plan and cook meals, I felt I'd be at the high end of my arc for sure. I'm very tired today. I did not sleep well and woke up about 4 a.m. and only dozed from…
-
October 30-November 6, 2024
LW: 129.0 TW: 129.6 Kind of staying in the same range, which I guess is okay. My weight has fluctuated from 128.2 to 130.2 this week. Today, I'm more concerned about weight loss with one of our kitties. Our little Teddy is losing weight although he is eating well. He does not seem to feel sick, but the vet told us a month…

October 23-29, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.0 Holding my own in spite of the stress and limits on my movement. If you missed my last post, the findings from the surgery labs are there, and I have an appointment with the surgeon and the oncologist on Friday afternoon and will know more about my treatment after that happens. (I just looked to make…
-
October 16-22, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.4 It's a miracle! I really expected to gain at least a pound, if not more. My intake has been about the same, but I've allowed myself some "comfort" items that often cause some fluid retention. Seems sugar affects me more than salt. And of course, my step count is lower and so is my burn. These were…
-
October 9-15, 2024
LW: 129.2 TW: 129.4 More or less holding steady. I was hoping for a little downward movement because I knew that this coming week would be a wash, and I actually did a little better with my 7-day averages, but didn't watch the types of things I ate, like I should. I think when I'm a little anxious my sweet tooth acts up,…

October 2-9, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.2 Well, steady as she goes. Just as soon as I logged off last week, I promtly forgot my goal of burning 17K kcals each day. But although I forgot about that until yesterday, I still managed to have a 7-day average a bit above that. Steps were okay, too, despite the fact that we've had rain, rain, rain…

Sept 15 - Oct 1
LW: 135.4 TW: 135.2 Ugh. I never get very big reductions anymore. I guess slow and steady is good, but it's very frustrating. Sarah, getting medical care takes so long. I'm so sorry for what you're going through. <3 I'm beginning to feel angry about it too, so I can't blame your hubby for his feelings. Especially now that…
-
September 18-24, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 127.8 You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw that number. I knew it would probably be a bit lower because I normally weigh less midmorning than I do right after I drink a huge mug of coffee, and typically, I weigh right after I come upstairs to dress. But today, I had a conference call with…
-
Sept 11 - Sept 17
LW: 135.2 TW: 134.6 I focused more on food intake last week, so I'm glad to see a reduction. I'll continue with that, but I want to drink more water, so I'll focus on that too. We played golf yesterday and I see an improvement with the instruction I've been getting. Now, I'm hoping for the new putter I keep hinting about…
