@jugar CW 158.1 one pound up from last week I think. I'm going in to the habit tracker to pare things down to the basic.

Hi, I'm Sylvia ,52, in Massachusetts, US. Been here since Jan '20 - great support AND the accountability I need. Dropped a lot of weight but finding maintenance not so easy...the old habits creep in. Currently in the midst of a disastrous medical situation with my parents (who I live with - yes, I'm the youngest who never…

The calm of Saturday morning, no need to race about, even though there is a long to do list. I'm signed on to the habit tracker - keeping it simple.

@jugar CW 157.1 up from last week I'm sure. When I woke this morning I thought that I would bow out of F2F for the next month - feel totally out of control of my eating and just everything is too much right now. But even just scanning this last page of comments - I've decided not to bow out...instead I am going to make a…

Just caught up on 4 pages of posts. @YinxFed I'm so sorry to hear of Edie. My eating has been wildly out of control and nonsensical. I'm feeling like today is the day that I rein it in. I prelogged last night before sleep - so I have a plan. @MandiSaysHey I too have a pair of pants that don't feel so comfortable ...it's a…

@kdblpn :D

@jugar PW 153.1 CW 153.2 sigh, on my old scale I'd still be in the green ; ) I'll take it though, pretty amazed it wasn't worse. Thank you all for your support and good wishes - we are definitely taking this one day at a time right now, still too many unknowns.

@micki48 Love the tree hugger pic! @ashleycarole86 I'm afraid I'll have to pass on the step team -even though it's only a once a week report, I just haven't been able to make that a habit...why I left the last time too. @jugar so happy to imagine you dancing up in the snow :) Please feel free to keep it up there. I have…

I would say, do what you like. Everyone is different. Don't go to any extremes and abuse your body/joints, but heck, it's called living your life.

@ashleycarole86 well done and I agree with @happimess01 - a prize, reward or treat to mark the occasion is in order. @PlaneMonkey Such a nice photo of your parents. <3 I've been an early morning logger the past few days...and then going off the rails (and the plan) by about 10 am, passing by the healthy options. I don't…

I'll call yesterday a 'cheat' day and stopped logging halfway through. Back to weighing and logging TODAY!

@jugar CW 153.1 Logging does work - I say weighing does too, just a little extra time to do it- I love my kitchen scale that hangs on the wall by the counter. Thanks all for the kind words.

@jugar feel better, that's an order. Of all crazy days this one deserves a wine at the end of it but instead I went for the potato chips - they're all gone so no more temptation and I've got some garden jobs to finish up tomorrow on the Veterans day holiday day off work - so will choose not to have the wine. Was happily at…

@ashleycarole86 sorry for delay 10/31 20,146 11/1 7918 11/2 5574 11/3 9775 11/4 5834 11/5 13726 11/6 2249(charging most of day, oh well)

Good morning Sunday, our clocks changed last night so I'd better get moving as the dark will come even faster this afternoon :# ...still too many outdoor tasks needing done! I had a good day yesterday, made a huge pot of my favorite, Martha Stewart Vegetable & Bean soup (anyone here long enough has heard this all before ;)…

@PlaneMonkey and @jugar I'm so sorry to hear that both of your fathers have dementia. My dad started with that 6 or so years ago and in my opinion, it's when it just starts (or is finally realized) that is the hardest time (hellish to be honest) as everyone tries to adjust and the person with dementia still has moments of…

Saturday morning, first hard frost out there. Hi, I'm Sylvia, 52, just south of Boston, Ma. I've been with Waistaways since Jan '20 when I'd reached a top weight. All the magic ingredients came together (accountability, support, focus, determination & I swear there's some switch that flips that makes it easier to not reach…

@jugar 156.5 :| oh no, I'm five pages behind already. Tomorrow morning I'll catch up with a cup of coffee and introduce myself and confess to the disastrous past weeks, ugh!!

Can't wait to see the cake! I do love Halloween - what a fun time to have a birthday! My fitbit is so old I don't remember which kind it is, but it does the job. @jugar and @kali225 There's a short loop at the 'castle' with lots of benches and there's the bigger loop around the inlet 'pleasure bay' - also benches but not…

This made me laugh - I feel the same way often.

@jugar Saturday morning. I did weigh in on Thursday and was disgusted with myself so didn't report right away...I haven't logged for a week and it shows. I've been giving in too much & not pumping up my willpower- I really need to rein it in. PW 151 CW 154.1

I've been AWOL for a few days, loved catching up on your posts - mice (here too), halloween candy hell challenges>:) (here too), and happy anniversaries. @jugar have fun at the reunion (50 such round number, eh?). @DD265 with a jump in electricity cost, it's maybe not so inspiring to use the slow cooker all day, sheesh -…

I've had a hard time with my eating the last couple of days - complete abandon as I dive in to whatever sweets I can lay my hands on - I think the sugar affected my heart rate and my sleeping. Today, Sunday, I am NOT going to let the binge happen - must just start on the project list and pretend it's an office day (when it…

@jugar PW 149.5 CW old scale 151 CW new scale 150, split the difference for this one weigh in? call it 150.5? No matter what you call it, I am still pleased (although sorry it's more red for the team) - you really don't know what disastrous eating I got up to on stay-cation. Seems the increased activity helped balance…

@Kali225 that is no small victory. @MoStacy keep checking in here, often, we are your remote support.

@ashleycarole86 your holiday/family experience (& success with it) are a good primer and reminder for me with the upcoming US holidays. and..similarly, with me going back to work after a very indulgent vacation, it is BACK to regularly scheduled programming. @micki48 oh how I'd love to spend time with some puppies....what…
