I was afraid my 2 pound drop last week was temporary. I'm going out to dinner tonight. Chinese dumpling place. I plan to eat 1500 calories (!!) and I am looking forward…

I've had one knee replaced. Are you getting them both done? It was a difficult surgery to recover from. Good luck. It will be worth it. Pain free at last!!
-
Awesome!!!! Way to go. I'm so happy for you. Good luck with the walking pad. I've never heard of that. Moving is better than sitting so whatever you can do with it would be better than not. With handle bars sounds good too. Nice.

The scale dropped two pounds this week. I don't know why. I did the same thing I always do and was expecting at least the half pound loss I usually get. And yes, this new editor program SUCKS! SW 147 GW 142 UGW 134 - 137 01/31/25 147 02/07/25 146 02/14/25 145 02/21/25 144.5 02/28/25 144 03/07/25 142 03/14/25 I'm hoping to…

The alcoholic beverages were just killer to me. I could work them into my calories, but the snacking afterwards was just the worst thing. I've had to keep my calories below 1200 to lose half a pound a week. Of course, the lack of exercise is probably the main problem. I've not found 1200 too difficult. I get hungry a…

That's fantastic. Keep it up.

SW 147 GW 142 UGW 134 - 137 Chipping away. A half pound at a time. 01/31 147 0207 146 02/14 145 02/21 144.5 02/28 144 03/07 03/14 03/21 03/28 Wow. This is stunningly slow. I have to remind myself three pounds last month is good. It doesn't seem like 3 pounds. I'll have to look at the above progress over and over again to…

Donna, I hope tomorrow's funeral is comforting. You will be surrounded by other people who love your friend as you do. I hope you come home thankful for your friendship. You will never forget her and the loving warmth you shared. Get ready for lots of hugs tomorrow.
-
@Walela617 Yes you can! Water, water, water, water, water, You'll be down three pounds by Wednesday. Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk. You'll feel so good! I like to tell myself: You can do anything for a week.
-
Donna, nuts are a great idea. I'm impressed with all your ideas. You clearly know what works. I hope things subside after the funeral. I'm sorry you have to go through this. Once things get back to normal you will have more control. Take it easy on yourself. Ann
-
That's very impressive. You are inspiring even though I don't know what some of it is. It sounds like a lot of work. Go Karen!!
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one. The little liar deserves it!!!!!!
-
@Walela617 "Don't you hate how they tempt us while we're waiting in line to check? Not fair!!" That was the problem LOL. The wait in line at the pharmacy is no less than 10 minutes. I was standing there looking at them for ten minutes!! They were semi-small bags - two for $7.00. Classic Lays. I should be able to tell you…
-
Earlier this week I was in line the pharmacy. On the shelf next to me were a bunch of Lays potato chips. As you can imagine I had plenty of time to look at them. They looked so good. They were $3.99 per package. Or 2 packages for $7.00. I'm thinking "that's a good deal". HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Right this minute I can remember how…
-
@Walela617 Thanks for reminding us how one or two off days can wipe out a whole week. We all know that. But when it happens to you it's so disheartening. Don't think about it. Think about the upcoming week. You can get rid of at least one of those pounds. I only lost a half pound this week. I had been so good diet wise…
-
@200Karen I think you should post that in the NSV's. A victory is a victory, right? Some people give up sodas. Other people give up sprinkles.
-
Liver!!!!! Wow. When I first started weight watchers back in the '70s you were supposed to eat liver once a week. I did it.
-
I should give blood........
-
Free food. Hmmmmm. It will probably be semi-healthy food. So there's that. So glad your bronchitis is waning.
-
@NikMar Rome!!!! Have fun. And that includes eating and coffee. You must eat. It's part of the experience. Maybe water will help curb the impulse to eat the whole thing. I had a boyfriend back in the '70s who said: "you know you always get in a great mood when you eat"!!!!!!!! Yup. And then another time he said "you know,…
-
@Walela617 Thank you, Carole, for reminding me of what I've done. I've lost 20 pounds since I joined this challenge last August. The low 140's sounds pretty insane to me. Again, I couldn't have done even 10 pounds without all of you. Six months ago the thought of losing 20 pounds was unthinkable. Too much. I just put it…
-
Welcome! Glad you're here. Good luck. Read the thread!!!!!

SW 147 GW 142 UGW 134 01/31 147 02/07 146 02/14 145 02/21 02/28 I'm having a good start. 2 lbs down for this challenge. I have to power through the next two weeks. Stay focused. I'm losing at a rate of only 2 lbs per month. So maybe by March 1 (two weeks).......I'll feel a good about what I've accomplished......just two…

@SunnyDays930 I'm going to buy some sauerkraut. I remembered an old Americas Test Kitchen taste test of sauerkraut. I wish I could make a link here. Interestingly, they said the sauerkraut in bags in the refrigerated section was not as good as Jarred or canned sauerkraut. The bags have preservatives in them. I think I'll…
-
@deepwoodslady I feel your pain. I am also insane INSANITY: doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results
-
Thank you, Karen. Water is what I need!!! I've been trying to concentrate on the protein to drive off the hungries. But I think I'm not drinking enough. Water, Water, Water, Water.
-
SW 147 GW 142 UGW 134 It's been a stressful week. I did O.K. with eating but other than that it was a mess!!! 01/31 147 02/07 146 02/14 02/21 02/28 I think I'll try just concentrating on one day at a time. A whole week seems like forever right now. It looks like most people are having a good start to this new challenge.…
-
Wow! That's awesome @RubyRed 427. I'm sure you're so thankful. That's a great post. You should tell everyone you know what happened.
-
You just start by saying you want to join (like you did). Then you can do as much or as little as you want. Karen's post above yours is an example of the format people use. She's posted highest weight, current weight and ultimate goal weight. It's nice give a little back ground on yourself but if you'd rather not (or wait…
