@jugar I'd like to change my weigh in day to Saturday please. Happy news this morning and will benefit me as well - my mother's swallow test shows that she's okay to eat whatever she wants!! Hurray!! Won't be forever BUT huge quality of life factor!

Sylvia, 53 in Massachusetts USA, Today feels like March 1st for me - SO glad for a new beginning (another! {eye roll}). It's a long month and that gives me time for my goal of dropping 10 lbs. My weight's been way up and down for decades, never able to hang on to the lower weight for long before it creeps or gallops back…

@jugar CW 160.9 I am ready to turn the page to March!

@dd265 Looks fabulous! Love the cat tree and seeing the super content kitty way up at the top!

@jugar CW 159.8 boy am I glad I bought that scale that does finer #s than .5 Ha! Thanks all for your encouraging words. The demon ice cream is gone and I'm not going to replace it -even if it packed great calories in for my mother who's goal is to eat more calories. @conleywoods hope you and family are getting through…

having a hard time shaking the dive for the freezer and the high cal contents within when I just can't stand what's going on here. Got on the scale this morning to try to scare myself into being better - gah, hit that next higher # on the scale! Now 15 lbs above where I was (and all those clothes that felt so good). I do…

@jugar PW 157.5 CW 156.8

a win last night....served up ice cream & chocolate sauce but for myself had an apple...

checking in Monday morning - loads prepped in the fridge for a GOOD week! I found some serious motivation yesterday morning when I put back 3 pairs of jeans because they didn't feel comfortable....grrr.....

happy Sunday! after my conscientious beginning - posting here - my day went to hell. Can't even explain how or why, just my expectations for the day to spend some time for me working on a years long sewing project got derailed by others. Was so frustrated I could've screamed or cried. Ate poorly. Texted with a good friend…

Hi, late intro, Sylvia in Massachusetts, US, 53. My weight's fluctuated through the years - when I'd be at a good weight for me, it would never last beyond a couple years before it went way up again. Finally got it back down again in 2020 but maintaining it is not easy and I've gained back about 10-15 lbs. Stress from…

@jugar PW157.1 CW157.5 I've just caught up on posts...nice to see some folks who have been absent for awhile. I'll get to my intro this weekend. Thought about going on support team this month but I am not...the accountability here does help (much of the time).

@jugar PW 157.0 CW 157.1

@jugar happy belated birthday! hope you did most if not all of your favorite things! I'm learning that just stating 'Reset' in the morning is not strong enough to overcome crazy days of eating. Yesterday was an utter flop, I actually felt uncomfortable at the end of the day. I'll try to make THAT the motivation to eat much…

ahhh...Saturday. It's snowing and I have no where I have to be and no one (visiting nurses, home health aides or visitors or family) is coming to our house. Hallelujah! The weekends are usually difficult for me eating-wise but I've had trouble this whole last week - not that I don't have a fridge full of healthy options,…

@PlaneMonkey I'm so sorry to read about your dad. I think you've got your head and your heart in the right place...remembering all the great things and being grateful. still...hugs.

@jugar CW 157

Finally getting on here after several days absence and have read all the posts. I love you guys...the positive energy in here is a big boost. I've indulged the last couple days and, even though there's a holiday off tomorrow, I'm going to stop the indulging, and just enjoy simple food for the rest of the week. I'd like to…

@jugar PW 157.5 CW 155.8 What a week, and it isn't over. Will have to catchup here on the weekend. Two days ago my weigh-in would have been a different story, I almost feel guilty taking the big loss today, BUT forget it...I'll be happy to see some green on my chart this week. Just shows that the weeks it's up…

@jugar PW 159.5 CW 157.5 going to ease back a bit and not aim for my default 1200/day. I must expend more than one would think with an office job. My inner-jugar is definitely not parked on a couch....and with possibly half a foot of snow coming tomorrow, I'll keep the snowshoes handy. Now, I have a lot of posts to catch…

Hello, I'm Sylvia in Massachusetts, US. I'm 52, single, no kids, me the youngest kid who never really left home, full time office job, and now am playing a major role with my aging parents. The last couple months in particular have been difficult - dad is already in tough shape these last 5 yrs....mum was diagnosed in Nov.…

@jugar CW 159.5 ...a gain but stayed under the round number at least...I'm going to break my finger one of these days hitting that reset button over and over. good morning and welcome @lonestarbabe - you have found a great group! @YinxFed oh that walk looks heavenly! Definitely a long distance walk is on my list when I'm…

@metaphysicalstudio and @twdempsey, welcome to the group!! You'll find great ideas, tips and support here.

the monday after the holiday - it feels a bit like New Years Day ...in that ...I've weighed and prepped my food for today and tomorrow -will log it all - back on track (?) ....this time for real? Christmas is exhausting.

@jugar - looking forward to your book review - good title. Although I was definitely feeling the grinch/scrooge ahead of Christmas - we had a very nice time - tried to forget about Covid. Hopefully no fall out from our gathering. Mum starts #2 of her chemo on Tue - she did well on her first round side-effect-wise so…

@jugar PW 160.2 CW 158.7

Here's a cure for that...I KNOW because I baked special shortbread cookies one year shaped like hippos for a cousin (long story - to do with a trip to africa)....and when I gave them to her, she fed one to her dog (!!!)...after another couple, her husband grabbed them and set aside for himself. Just feed a couple to your…

monday morning reset!!

@jugar CW 160.2 PW 158.1 That's it, I'm going to channel my inner hulk and stop this runaway train of random eating and drinking. Thought to ask for a pass but I need to learn how to manage these situations and STILL take care of myself well. Sorry for the red hit to the team.

Hi all, coming up for air, have caught up on posts! @YinxFed isn't it funny how all of a sudden a bit of xmas spirit can catch you, breaking up for the holiday can certainly help. @conleywoods So sorry to hear about your beloved dog...what a wonderful life he had with you and the kids and the countryside. Just hanging on…
