@conleywoods glad things are coming together - happy to see you back on the regular team. You've got a lot to manage. Just had another confirmation of why I think weighing is better than volume measuring. Have lately had Caesar salad ingredients in the house for my brother. The Caesar croutons you can buy - well, they…

CW 172.7 @ashleycarole86 I do eat breakfast and often early. Then yes, it's second breakfast around 10 or so. I just need to bring more things to eat into work- healthy things. Today I'm in trouble - have run out eggs - horror of horrors. But I'll pack up some pickles, some roasted red peppers and have some very nice ripe…

As I read thru the posts, I'm reminded AGAIN that pre-logging really works - worked for me before and I must return to it. Full days - my boss gave her notice and in 2 weeks it'll be just me and fortunately some consultants SHE hired to support me & the office - the bosses upstairs really screwed up by letting my…

Thursday weigh in CW 173.1

I'm laughing a bit at this last topic - the do everything - I suspect I am an annoying person to sit with (poor dad)...as I am always jumping up to do something that needs doing. But boy, it sure helps with sleep. I do try to stop sometimes and savor the time just enjoying the birds, the view, the garden but often that…

So, I've just read about 5 pages of posts...I had so much to catch up on...I started comments on postings but if I posted it, it would likely take UP a whole page. This really is such a wonderful group. I've run out of time, off to work, but was happy to spend an hour with my coffee and you... all the varied situations and…

CW 172.9 up just a bit from last week. Will do postings catchup later this evening and share my own....chicken on the grill soon to be followed by a huge bag of mini peppers for future salads and snacking.

CW 173.6 PW 175.3 weighed in yesterday and it was 175.3...just shows the variation a day makes and to just take the weekly weigh ins as a general guidance, not to derail. But I did log everything yesterday and so I'll just take it as inspiration!

Good reminder of the pickles! going to pack a couple for work right now .

Sylvia here in Massachusetts, 52, single, no kids, caregiver for my old dad, have been with Waistaways since Jan 2020 - did great the first year and got to my weight goal but has crept up ever since (as the cycle has gone my whole life). Family health stressors, full time office job on top of the caregiving are not helping…

CW 176.3

Some derailment here, but some good choices too (threw the remainder of the bag of chocolate chips into the garden!) 4/9 15234 4/10 5731 4/11 7968 4/12 10365 4/13 5470 4/14 8301 4/15 22036 @ashleycarole86 clearly I 'undergoaled' myself at 5000, now that I get a sense of an average day, I'd like to bump that to 8,000 - I'll…

CW 175.5 PW 174 I must hit the brakes on this.

@ashleycarole86 steps 4/2 0 4/3 0 4/4 0 then put on my Fit bit hurray!! 4/5 6259 4/6 5931 4/7 9406 4/8 12262 4/9 14914

on to Sunday and not a single chocolate egg in sight - only colored boiled ones. That makes things a LOT easier. Now the quiche....another matter, will try to send any leftovers home with folks. Have a nice day all. Since returning to checking in to Waistaways more, BOY is MFP still sluggish - I half-wonder if it's the…

Been a rough week as a caregiver of a very restless 93 yr old and today was the pinnacle - short story dad now has a rug burn on his forehead :s - I have had a glass of wine but have followed it with, instead of two more glasses, some flavored seltzer I picked up, just as good in my glass. Otherwise, not been TOO terrible…

@Jugar CW 174

@jugar glad you're back home after what sounds like a difficult time with your dad (although your exercise 'game' with him sounds wonderful); hope your stepmom has a good social network for support. I did weigh last Thursday 174. I will stay unofficial for this month but will still weigh in please. @PlaneMonkey I'm with…

Hello all, Sylvia, 53, in Massachusetts USA. Reading @ashleycarole86 and @TessieMac833 intros, I feel like we're in the same boat. Lost a lot in 2020 and the creep back up has been steady. My factors...sedentary office job, outside of that the caregiver for 93 yr old dad, and the last year and a half, family health care…

@jugar Thursday am weigh in 173.1

@jugar CW 171.9 Thank you all. I was convinced it would be a huge gain today. I actually got back into my car again after work and drove to get ice cream - will take a cue from @ashleycarole86 next time and instead, throw on my garden work clothes and get out into the yard to do a bit of branch cleanup...anything, just…

@jugar I'd like to weigh in tomorrow but not have it count (against the team), just set me on the sidelines. I am just hanging in there without a lot of food caution or effort right now. I do say 'no' at times but other times have been 'bring it all on'. At Xmas my 58 yr old brother had some symptoms, doc appts, tests,…

@jugar - thurs am weighed in CW 172.7

@jugar CW 173.5

Good morning, Sylvia in Massachusetts,USA. I was absent for most of February and haven't caught up. Started March today and have read all your posts - good to 'see' all you lovely people and meet the new folks. Short story: up and downs with weight all my life, did well in 2020 and dealing with the upswing this last year.…

@jugar CW 171.6 on Thurs morning Just found my Fitbit charger cord after months & months.

I'm sorry I've been such a rotten Waistaway this month. Another major health crisis in our family (my brother)has arisen- there's so much stress and worry and sleepless nights. I had a conscious binge one evening (potato chips, icecream and wine) but a few days later I made a conscious decision to not take this stress out…

@jugar - Thurs am weigh in - 169.8
