LW: 129.6 TW: 129.2 Weight-wise this week went okay. I credit some of that to still having tongue and throat issues. But then I'm also still not feeling up to par in general, so I took a break again on one day. Break for me is defined as not doing anything purposeful to get in activity. Here are my 7-day averages, which…

July 26 - Aug 2
222.0 222.5 I've earned this one - I celebrated my birthday and had a great weekend enjoying my family and hubby. Sarah - we have aerators and a waterfall on the pool and flowing them all night long does cool the pool to slightly cooler than bath water in the pool. Haha. We can usually swim into September so that's pretty…

July 19-25, 2023
LW: 130.0 TW: 130.4 Still sort of holding my own. And still not doing so good with getting the daily burn up. Yesterday was a real stinker. I only had about 4K steps at dinner time, so after we ate, I walked around the block a couple of times since a storm cooled the temps to the mid to high 80's. But it was still super…

July 12 - 18
LW 224.5 TW 219.4 Well, a lot of it had to do with staying on the plan and having a migraine for a few days. Hoping to stay on plan for this next week as well and keep this momentum going. Still wish I'd be reducing using good meal planning etc. but my headspace is still not there. Hoping everyone has a great week.

July 5-11, 2023
LW: 131.6 TW: 131.4 Holding my own. Yesterday was a challenge both with intake and steps. I spent a chunk of the day preparing food for a cookout with friends up in Frederick, traveling, and sitting while socializing. Like last year, we also took in the city's fireworks from the top of one of the parking garages. We are…

June 28 - July 4
LW 224.9.TW 222.2 This week was TOUGH!! There were a couple of days I was beyond ravenous. I finally just ate a couple of eggs to slow my roll...even a krispie treat (AFTER eating, celery, lettuce and cucumber). I could not be satiated on Sat and` Sun. Mon and Tues were a bit better. I keep saying I'm going to quit this…

June 21-27, 2023
LW 224 TW 224.9 Yep. And I'm happy with that number. This past week has been a massive struggle. Super duper hungry and I don't know why. Yesterday I returned to physical therapy after a 2 week hiatus, but the hunger hit on Saturday and has not really abated. Hopefully it won't be too challenging today. Yesterday - along…

June 14-20, 2023
LW: 130.0 TW: 129.8 Hi, all. I am pleasantly surprised because I have been hungry all day for the past two or three days and have no idea why. I think I've had this happen before, but I can't remember much about those times so I'm not sure if there's a common thread. I'm kind of in the same old place with intake and…

June 7-13, 2023
LW: 131.0 TW: 130.0 Hope everyone is doing okay. My weight for today is probably lower than it would normally be because I was fasting for a medical appointment, and I usually weigh after having a huge mug of coffee. Won't have test results until tomorrow or Friday (thyroid, Vitamin D, and cholesterol), but she decided to…

May 31-June 6, 2023
LW: 131.6 TW: 131.0 Hi, everyone, and happy hump day. As I created this string, I realized I miss-dated the one for last week, and I also realized how fast time goes when I typed "June." I'm grateful for the half pound, although I think I'm fortunate to be at the bottom of my arc on a weigh-in day. Yesterday I was at the…

May 24-31, 2023
LW: 131.4 TW: 131.6 So I'm staying about the same and I don't have being sick to blame anymore, as I think I'm finally back to normal or at least close to normal. My energy level is still a little off and there's some very minor chest congestion, but nothing significant. Because I'm data driven, I looked at my total and…

May 17 - May 23
LW: 133.6 TW: 133.4 It's feeling like a struggle for every 10th of a pound. I'm aiming to get into the 120's by my annual check-up in October, which I had considered a pretty easy goal. Now, I'm beginning to wonder if I can do it. And, I'm at a loss as to how to go about it. I read a scientific study (based on the 30 year…

May 10-16, 2023
LW: 130.6 TW: 131.4 Whew. Up almost a pound, but I'm not surpised. Because I've been sick, everything has been "off" for me this past week. On Saturday and Sunday, I felt much better, but woke up on Monday feeling really sick again. My body said, "just lie down." But that's really hard for me to do. So I just slowly moved…

May 3-9, 2023
LW: 131.2 TW: 130.6 Happy hump day! I'll make this quick since I'm a bit under the weather today and I have zoom class that is part of my certification to teach Bone Builders that starts in less than an hour. Thankfully, it's a zoom class on the adminstrative tasks so I'm going to try to suck it up and make it. I think I'm…

April 26 - May 2
LW: 245.8 (very embarrassed and upset with myself for allowing this) TW 239.0 So a massive reduction. And before you gals get jelly on the large number...remember the massive number I'm starting at....so yeah. The program is challenging. I did have to add on an extra salad most days. This is super tight and I'm not sure I…

Saw that two of us were posting at the same time
Moving my post to Lois's new thread.

April 19-25, 2023
LW: 131.4 TW: 131.8 Well, I'm a bit surprised since most of the week I've finally been 130 point something again. And yesterday, I did not sit down from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. I had my class in the morning and then spent the day getting ready to get out of town today. Since we have a house/pet sitter, I wanted everything clean…

April 12-18, 2023
LW: 130.0 TW: 131.4 Read it and weep! I am definitely near the top of the arc this weigh-in day. It's not the top, though. I was at 132 yesterday which was the top. And having that two in there really got me to thinking about what has been different and what I can do to effect a little course correction. I really can't…

April 5-11, 2023
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.0 Staying steady. This week, I bounced between 129.8 and 131.4. I keep a calendar book on my desk and jot down various things I may need to remember and I also jot down my weight on Wednesdays. Last year, the first Wednesday in April was April 4, and my weight was exactly what it was today. So this has…

March 29- April 4
Hey Everyone!!! I am starting this off because I remembered you all this morning! Weight is 172.2!!!! Although that seems good I am curious because my new scale says I am losing muscle and gaining fat. Odd to me since I am working out way more. Either way the scale can keep going down. Questions from you all: My daughter…

March 22 - March 28
LW: 134.2 TW: 133.8 I'm happy with that reduction . . not a lot, but I felt more focused. I hope to keep that going despite traveling later this week. Sarah, I experience more cravings and hunger when I'm tired. I think our bodies try to get more energy that way. Do you have another comfortable bed or sofa where you could…

March 15-21, 2023
LW: 130.8 TW: 131.0 Beware the Ides of March! Honestly, this has been a tough week for me. I have had less energy than normal and have struggled to get myself on the treadmill. I've also wanted to snack more the past couple of days, and although I have mostly snacked on nuts and dried fruit, which is better than cookies…

March 8-14, 2023
LW: 130.4 TW: 130.8 So essentially, holding my own. My doc said today that my BMI is 24, which is fine, and she's happy if I can stay around this weight. But I know that if I don't keep making some efforts to get it down a few more pounds, I'm likely to find myself gaining. It takes so little now for that to happen. And…

Mar 1 - Mar 7
LW: 134.4 TW: 134.4 I'm so glad weigh in is today and not yesterday. After traveling Monday, I was up to 136 . . but, now that my fluid levels are more normal I'm back to last week. I'll take that especially in light of the daily complimentary croissants, wine, cheese, etc at the hotel! I did partake, but tried to limit…

Feb 22 - Feb 28
LW: 134.8 TW: 134.4 Okay, at last a downward number. But, of course, now I'm headed to Cali tomorrow until Monday. We're flying down for the turning 5 years old birthday celebration for our grandson :) Because their house is still being remodeled and their rental house has no guest room, we booked a really cute hotel in…

February 15-21, 2023
LW: 131.6 TW: 131.2 Well, I'm more or less staying steady. I didn't make it outside to walk yesterday after all. I just fiddled around and the next thing I knew, the winds started up and although the temps were mild, it just wasn't pleasant outside. Hubby had to work into the evening, so I cooked dinner and hit the TM in…

February 8-14, 2023
LW: 131.6 TW: 131.6 Hi, all. It's after 11 p.m., and this is the first chance I've had today to get online. I'm too tired to chat and make much sense, but I wanted to at least log my weight. I did not have the best week in terms of meeting my goals and the result is obvious--I'm right where I was. For some reason, I was…

Feb 1 - Feb 7
LW: 134.2 TW: 133.8 Well, down a little. I've closed all my rings for a week or more, and the butt challenge is almost done. I started later so there's a couple of days left. I'll be glad when it's done, but it does seem to have made my legs stronger and my butt rounder :D Sarah, my knees get sore but nothing that…

January 25-31, 2023
LW: 131.6 TW: 132.2 Well here's what happens when you eat something that is full of salt! We had little time to get dinner last night and so for protein, we used a ham steak. It was so salty tasting, we had to put dijon mustard on it to tolerate it. And because of the time factor, we also had frozen cheddar baked potatoes.…

January 18-24, 2023
LW: 130.8 TW: 131.6 So that's what happens when you hardly move at all for two days and move much less than usual for the other five days. I know, however, that I should not complain since so many people get dreadfully sick with this darned virus. Monday, I felt about 75-80% normal, and I think I overdid it because I did…
