Went to the family cabin for Memorial Day and made plenty of not great eating choices. Been back on track the last couple of days being home and planning to keep that running. LW: 238.0 CW: 239.0 Gain 1.0 lb Tim, any fun home projects going? I picked up a porch swing a neighbor was getting rid of and refinished it. Turned…

Welcome, Jonathan! This has been a good group to be part of for me since I joined them (they've been going for years before I got here). Pretty quiet lately, but it goes in waves. Seems like we've all been a little out of our normal routine during the COVID-19 timeframe. LW: 239.2 CW: 238.0 Loss: 1.2 lbs I'm getting into a…

I hear you on the snacking, that's been tough for me as well. I've been making progress on the exercise, though: been working out 3-4 times a week and starting to get the energy returns after the initial drudgery of getting back into exercising. LW: 237.6 CW: 239.2 Gain: 1.6 lb Even without the weight loss, I'm starting to…

Quick check-in before a morning meeting: LW: 239.4 CW: 237.6 Loss: 1.8 lbs

That's tough to have an unusual schedule and bad weather. Have you gotten any time in the workshop lately? I saw that the WoodworkingWeb site you suggested I check out in the past has switched to "craftisian" - sounds like they're trying to become a different Pinterest option. Went for my second run of the year this…

Been working out more consistently lately which feels good. It’s been especially helpful since I’m more stationary working from home than I am at my office - I get really stiff by the end of the day without it. LW: 242.0 CW: 241.2 Loss: 0.8 lbs How are you all doing? Feeling more cooped up?

Keep it going, guys! I made quite a few bad snacking choices this week and went back up a few pounds. This week, my goal is to focus on foods that line up with my long-term plans. LW: 239.8 CW: 242.0 Gain: 2.2 lbs

Good job! I have also made some progress back toward where I ended the summer. Hoping to keep building momentum. LW: 244.2 CW: 239.8 Loss: 4.4 lbs

Hey Guys, Looks like you've made it through the holidays pretty well without gaining back the weight you lost before - good job! I've unfortunately done some backsliding on my health lately. I'm still 15 lbs down from a year ago, but I've gained 15 back from the 30 I lost by the end of the summer last year. LW: 233.4 CW:…

Gained a little bit over the past two weeks (I was actually higher last week and forgot to post). LW: 230.4 CW: 233.4 Gain: 3 lbs Going to focus on logging my foods again for this stretch while it’s getting snowy and I’m not sleeping as much. Both of those can make me slide on my healthy eating, so hopefully logging helps…

This is from last Friday (10/18) since I haven't weighed in this week yet. LW: 232.8 CW: 230.4 Loss: 2.4 lbs I lost weight since my last post and gained a new son! He was born on 10/8 and that's been where my time and energy has been going this month.

I’m up a little again. Trying to address my snacking to get this back under control and I’m the right direction. I have been exercising more again these last few weeks and can run 3 miles without a break now compared to struggling through 1 mile without rest earlier in the year. LW: 231.8 CW: 232.8 Gain: 1.0 lbs

Great job, both of you! That’s very encouraging to read. I’ve done quite poorly the past few weeks, this last week in particular. I’ve been letting myself have “cheats” frequently and giving myself larger portions of my Nutrisystem-titled “SmartCarbs” and “PowerFuels” (essentially targeted sources of carbohydrates and…

Way to go, Tim! Those are all great changes. I’m up about a pound from last week, but I did well overall still (and being under 230 is still my lowest in three years). Going to keep pushing. LW: 228.2 CW: 229.4 Gain: 1.2

Sorry to hear that, Tim, but you can definitely turn it around. Dbw, glad you’re still right around where you were before after your travel! I finally spent more than a week at home for the first time since May and have gotten back onto my Nutrisystem eating plan. The eating is going great, so the next step is to ad more…

I slipped a little during this final trip, but I'm set to get back into routine and continue my downward trend of the year: LW: 230.6 CW: 232.4 Gain: 1.8 lbs

Welcome to the group, Adam! Good start, too. I've been traveling 4 weeks in the past month, so I haven't been keeping up with my weigh-ins. Thankfully, I've made it through these trips without gaining back yet, but I have one more trip before the crazy travel stretch ends. LW: 231.0 CW: 230.6 Loss: 0.4 lbs

Good job, tdonlin and dbw! I'm getting close to hitting my first sub-goal of 230. I also missed entering my weigh-ins on MFP the past couple of weeks, so this cumulative entry looks impressive (and feels good). LW: 238.0 CW: 231.0 Loss: 7 lbs I've already made it through one work trip this month without gaining anything…

Welcome back, dbw! How are your knees doing, tdonlin? LW: 241.4 CW: 238.0 Loss: 3.4 lbs I threw my back out and haven't been able to exercise as much lately, but I'm still working hard on my eating which is keeping me on track.

The major losses are slowing down, but I'm still down for a third week straight. It's a good feeling after going up for so long. LW: 242.8 CW: 241.4 Loss: 1.4 lbs

You got this, jmdawg! Weighing in after week 2 on Nutrisystem, I'm down a whopping 16.2 lbs overall. It feels good to be dropping this quickly, so now I'm trying to think through how I'm going to maintain the progress once I'm off the program in another month and a half. LW: 247.2 CW: 242.8 Loss: 4.4 lbs

Sorry to hear about your BP and Cholesterol, tdonlin, but I'm glad to hear your new grandson is home! Thankfully, my first week of nutrisystem is over so now I'm on the part where they give you enough calories to not feel like you need to throw up all day long. My weight loss for the week was great though. LW: 252.4 CW:…

I've been eating doing a much better job of eating well for the past week, and starting yesterday, I'm trying a month of nutrisystem to help reset my eating habits. The first week significantly reduces calories (to an almost ridiculously low level), so it'll be interesting to see what kind of initial dip my weight takes in…

Sure, I'll take 259 as my starting weight. It'll make my numbers look way better when I catch back up! LW: 259.0 CW: 256.8 Loss: 2.2 lbs We're expecting baby #3 in October, so I'm hoping to have my habits well set by then. It'll be harder to make healthy changes once I'm not sleeping much, but I hope I can continue on…

Sorry to hear about your knee, especially when you're starting to get the itch to be outside and active with the nicer weather. I gained several pounds this week and am at an all time high. It's disappointing but not unexpected the way I've been eating. I do have a NSV though: : I've been successful on my exercise program.…

Sure thing! Welcome to the group. What are your goals?

I didn't end up weighing myself this week but will be back on the train next week. Hopefully I'll be moving in the right direction again.

Still not doing well on the weight, but my NSV for the week is that I've done the first two weeks of my strength program and am feeling more energy from it (along with really sore muscles). LW: 254.2 CW: 256.0 Gain: 1.8 lbs

I've stayed dead even since last week: LW: 254.2 CW: 254.2 Loss: 0 lbs Starting a 90-day workout challenge, so if I can pair that with healthy eating, it could be a good couple of months.

I got some kind of stomach bug the first half of this week and it through off my fruit-and-vegetable eating goals. Thankfully, there was only a little fluctuation and I'm back on track today. LW: 253.4 CW: 254.2 Gain: 0.8 lbs
