LW: 130.6 TW: 129.8 Down a little. It's nice to be home and better able to choose what I eat since the diverticulitis seems to have resolved. All my bloodwork was normal. As you know, today was the day for my appointment with the surgeon. I got good news and not so good news. They do want to take this growth out because…

Aug 28 - Sept 3
LW: 134.6 TW: 134.6 Argh. . . lots of movement, not enough dieting. . as usual. Oh my goodness Lois, don't let them overwork your leg. But, I'm very proud of you going up in weights and most of all, sticking with the PT. You know this is what is going to get your mojo back ;) Hope hubby's eye clears with the medication.…

LW: 134.2 TW: 134.6 Today is actually the 25th, but I didn't find a new thread, so here I'm starting it. My hubby came home and has a lot of fish! We're going to have to give away fish to friends and family for sure. My free week went by fast! I had a great time, but I'm glad hubby's home. My daughter brought her girls…

August 14 - August 20
LW: 134.2 TW: 134.2 Hubby left at a ridiculously early hour (3 a.m.) for his Alaska fishing trip. He promised to take care of himself . . it seems like he's been getting more little viruses lately, and just finished an antibiotic for a sinus infection. He loves this trip so much, so I don't nag too much, lol. Sarah,…

August 7-13, 2024
LW: 129.8 TW: 129.4 Kind of holding my own, although I did have a couple of days where I dipped into the high 128's so some progress. Hubby's diverticulitis probably helped keep me on track this week because he was on a liquid diet for several days and then a soft, bland diet for several days. That it made it easier for me…

July 24-30, 2024
LW: 129.8 TW: 130.4 A bit disappointed at the scale this morning, since I'm a full pound up from yesterday, but I know that realistically I should be happy because this was such an unusual week. My biopsy was early morning, so I couldn't get activity beforehand, and I was told to not exercise for a couple of days after and…

July 31-August 6, 2024
LW: 130.4 TW: 129.8 Happy humpday! Well, I'm essentially holding my own, in more ways than one. I had a few days that I could not make it to my step goal, but then there were a few days when I was able to go over that amount a bit, even though I'm still not able to walk at my normal speed. The soreness, however, is much…

July 17-23, 2024
LW: 129.8 TW: 129.6 Well, steady as she goes. Good news is that I did see 128 point something a couple of times this week and I topped off at 130. So I count that as some progress. I have an appointment with my regular doc soon, so I'm just logging on to put in weight and stats and will come back later to chat. This…

July 10 - July 16
Last time: 133.6 TW: 134.6 Well a pound up is not as bad as I thought it might be. We've been back since Saturday night, but jet lagged like you can't believe, especially hubby. I have golf today, so I'm off in a bit, but first and foremost I wanted to wish Sarah a one day belated Happy Birthday! I hope it was a good one…

July 3-July 9, 2024
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.2 Well, pretty much the same old ballpark, but one day this week I actually saw 129.4 and one day 129.8, so it's fluctuating, but fluctuating a little lower than week before last. I've done better with sugar this week, but need to remember that sugar is hiding in more than cookies, ice cream, or…

June 26 - July 2
LW: 134.4 TW: 133.6 I'm still at home . . leaving early Friday, and very excited. Of course I get my weight down a bit, just in time to enjoy lots of good food, and probably a little alcohol, lol. We're ready, and it looks like nice weather where we'll be, although more humid than we're used to, but cooler temps. We're…
-
June 19-25, 2024
LW: 132.0 TW: 130.6 I'm happy to see this, especially since I struggled a bit with just not feeling quite up to par during the past week. I think some is stress and some is weather. Lois, I know that our temps seem mild to you, but our heat is always accompanied by awful humidity. You can feel the heavy air bearing down on…

June 12 - June 18
LW: 135.0 TW: 134.8 Good morning ladies. Well, very slow progress, but at least it's progress. Sarah, I'm hoping to see a post soon about your mammogram. I'm sending you all my positive thoughts. <3 Looking forward to seeing your post here. Lois, glad you're safely back home (for now ;) ), and that your leg did okay. I'm…

June 5-11, 2024
LW: 131.4 TW: 130.4 Same ballpark, i.e., somewhere between 130 and 132. It's kind of a daily struggle since hubby literally eats all the time to keep his blood sugar from tanking despite the metformin. And his weight is dropping (and he doesn't need to lose) although his A1C is good now. His summer pants and shorts are all…

May 29 - June 4
TW: 135.4 Yikes. Not unexpected though. It seems that everyone is getting busy with summer ramping up. I have a couple of trips in July also, hopefully I can get some reduction before we go so that it doesn't just continue up and up. I've had a good week this week thus far, with trainer Monday and tomorrow, golf and 2 mile…

Duplicate thread (moved)
Two of us were posting at the same time, so my post has been moved to the one Sheesh started.

LW: 131.4 TW: 130.4 Hi, everyone. This has been a super busy day for me and I still have things I have to do. But I wanted to take just a moment to log in and post my weight (which has bounced around all week with a low of 129.8 and a high of 132). I also wanted to post my 7-day averages before I lose track of those (steps…

May 15 - May 21
LW: 134.8 TW: 134.8 Well, that's about what I expected. I hope to maintain for the next week. I hope I'll be able to log on next week with a weight. I'll check in to read your posts from my phone for sure. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone's plan is for the coming summer and for fitness and other goals. I have to…

May 8-14, 2024
LW: 131.4 TW: 130.8 Not a lot, but I'll take it. Thought I'd go ahead and start the thread before another day gets away from me. I hesitated when I first got up to say anything to anyone because I was feeling just cranky and negative. I don't know why. It was too early to be a reaction to anything that had happened. Then…

May 1-7, 2024
LW: 129.8 TW: 131.4 Arghhh! So frustrating. I've managed to cut way back on added sugar and I walked at times when I had very little energy to do so. This week, a lot of my energy has gone to doing things related to recovery from the pipe incident that are tiring but don't show up on my Fitbit. An example is picking up…

April 24 - May 1, 2024
Thought I'd get to writing bright and early so I don't run out of time today. I'm working from home today and tomorrow we're off to Calgary on the bus for our daughter's hockey tournament. We leave at 630am and don't arrive until 8pm-ish. LONG day sitting with not much activity. It's bright and sunny here today, which is a…

April 17-23, 2024
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.4 Well, not much luck in getting back below 130. I seem to keep bouncing between where I was yesterday (I did weigh yesterday, but had problems getting into MFP) and about a pound above that. Mentioning technical issues, yesterday morning, I could only get into some parts of MFP and when I tried to access…

April 10-16, 2024
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.6 And so she goes. Being in week 4 of all of this chaos plus concerns about its costs has my ratty little brain saying, "Go head and eat that piece of cake. You deserve a little treat." But then when I hit the scale, I think, "why do I keep doing this?" I think I've held together pretty well since all…

April 3 - April 9
LW: 135.4 TW: 135.6 Ugh, Easter. We had a very nice one, and I hope you all did also. Finally, we have some nice weather! I had a good golf lesson this morning. . . had to work out some bad habits that have crept in. Can't wait to go play, so hopefully the weather holds through the weekend. Kelly, your house is so…

March 27 - April 2
LW: 135.6 TW: 135.4 So, so small a reduction, but I'll try to be okay with it. Aww, Kelly <3 I understand the mixed feelings about putting a sign up to sell a home you love. It's very difficult to leave a place with good memories. I'm sure you won't regret your decision, though. It's just emotional. You'll make lots of…

March 20-26, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.2 Well, I cannot begin to describe what we are dealing with. Our entire front yard is gone. We are literally going to have to hire a landscaping company and start from scratch. And hubby was so proud of that yard. We had zoysia grass that was like carpet and we kept pretty flowers growing in the flower…

March 13-19, 2024
LW: 128.6 TW: 129.4 Was on earlier and found that the discussion function was once again not functioning. It seems like Wednesdays are not good days for MFP. It has been a pretty ordinary week, and I know enough now to appreciate ordinary weeks (or days). We are still on the downhill slide for the pipe work. They're…

March 6-12, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 128.6 Hi, all. I wanted to post earlier today, but MFP was acting up when I tried to log food, so I decided to stop and give the MFP tech folks time to fix whatever was going on. I was happy with the scale this morning, but I think this lower number is due to the fact that I had to go “nothing by mouth” after…

Feb 28 - Mar 5
Last time: 134.8 TW: 136.6 Yikes. Getting back on track for sure! That number made do a double take, and now I'm even more committed. Sorry to be late to the board. Yesterday was an unbelievably busy day, and hubby hasn't felt well since about Sunday. We got back from Mexico on Friday night, and he started feeling yucky. I…

February 21-27, 2024
LW: 128.2 LW: 129.8 Sorry to be so late posting. It has been a day! (No, actually, it has been a week!) Last week I mentioned that I was lucky to be weighing in at the bottom of my arc. This week there has been no arc. I quickly bounced from 128.2 to 129.8 and literally stayed there all week. I just heard my timer go off…
