Quick question- with Black Friday coming up, I’m considering getting an Apple Watch. I currently have a Fitbit Charge 5 but it’s a couple years old and it seems like I always have to replace them every few years anyway. I like it well enough but since I’m already in the apple ecosystem, I’m wondering if I would like an…

Cre804 Friday PW 191.5 CW 192.0 I’ve been off track this week, probably some stress eating involved as well. I haven’t been cooking much because it’s too painful to be walking around. My knee has not improved and while I originally planned to power through the holidays, I called today to get in to see my orthopedic…

@cre804 Does your name show as cre804 on Threads as well? I see a lady with a picture similar to yours, but want to make sure it's you before accepting...thanks! Jessica[/quote] It’s @cindyepting on Threads

Cre804 Friday PW 191.0 CW 191.5 I finished up my steroid pack a couple days ago. I always thought those would make you gain weight but it seemed the opposite for me. I had a 7 pound weight fluctuation in 6 days! I’m not sure they did much good, but I’m just going to power through the holidays. Still lifting weights 3x…

Just gave you a follow on Threads!

It was a rough week for me as well. Feel free to send me a friend request and we can link up in Threads or Bluesky. As far as the holidays, do what you feel’s best for you. I’ve had some years where I could barely decorate so I totally get it. Last year my son and his partner came home for thanksgiving but not Christmas,…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 191.0 This is a surprise, although the prior week was a zero gain/loss so maybe my body is just playing catch up. I’m still dealing with a bum knee so very little movement outside of weight training 3x week. I started a cortisone pill pack on Wednesday, after I was sure it wouldn’t interfere with…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 194.5 I had so much enthusiasm a few weeks ago, then I hurt my good knee and it’s really got me down. I felt like I had one month of both knees being good then my left knee went out big time. I’m still working out, but I went to the grocery store after gym yesterday and could barely make it thru…

Cre804 Friday PW 196.0 CW 194.5 I’ve had one good month where both knees felt really good. Now my left knee is acting up and I’m afraid I have a torn meniscus. It feels like what I had in my right knee. I’m trying to stay off of it, which isn’t helping with getting exercise or cooking dinner. If it’s not getting better by…

Cre804 Friday PW 191.5 CW 196.0 I am even more shocked at the weight gain as I was of last week’s loss! We had Chinese last night so I’m sure sodium is at least part of it. My daughter came home for the week and I’ve cooked more, especially since the weather cooled off. I made the first chili of the season and that was…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 191.5 I’ve been committed to journaling my food this week and it shows, although I maintained my weight last week so I really see this as a two week loss. I’ve got to step up and get my walks in though. I think I’m put off by it getting dark earlier. It’s best for my blood sugar to walk after a…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 194.5 I have a renewed sense of discipline today. Don’t know how long it will last but I’ll see if I can make some concrete plans. I’ve worked out at the gym and done my walk for today. Now I need to work on meal planning. I’ve been a slug since I got back from Colorado, but I’ve had improvement…

Cre804 Friday PW 193.5 CW 194.5 I’m so sorry I totally missed checking in on Friday!

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 193.5 Just got home yesterday from a nice trip to Colorado. We had great weather for the most part and I even did a little hiking! First pic is me, the same week in September 39 years ago, hiking the exact same trail! Bad news is I got home and found out that my physical therapy place totally shut…

Cre804 Friday PW 195.0 CW 194.5 Please excuse me from the next two weigh-ins. Short notice but my husband has booked us a trip to Colorado for our anniversary. I haven’t even finished unpacking from our last trip!

CRE804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 195.0 I apologize for no weigh in this past Friday. I’m out of town and am having difficulty posting again. I was 195.0 last Friday and I will miss this Friday. We have escaped the oppressive Texas heat and are enjoying 67 and sunny temps on Mackinac Island!

Cre804 Friday PW 193.5 CW 194.5 It’s been a weird week, food-wise. I’ve been on a soft diet due to my dental work, I had one night where dinner was literally junk food (had to leave my house at 4 to carpool to an event an hour away, and upon arrival found they had all kind of snacks. Didn’t get home til 10:30), and another…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW193.5 I’m sorry this post is late! I know I was in the app on Friday so I don’t know why it didn’t post. I may have to start using the web version since I’ve had so much trouble posting recently. I had a tooth pulled last Tuesday, along with a bone graft so I’ve been on a soft diet. After a second…

Cre804 Friday PW 197.0 CW 194.5 Looks like I recovered from Birthday Week but I had a bit of a tummy issue yesterday so that likely affected the weigh in. I’m fine now. I’m dealing with an abscessed tooth now, and have to decide on the treatment plan-root canal or extraction/implant. My head is just not in the right frame…

Cre804 Friday PW 196.5 CW 197.0 I’m ok with that because it’s my birthday week, my daughter came in town for a few days and my husband just came back from a medical mission trip to Belize. Many thanks to Patrice for passing along last week’s numbers when my app was being wonky! Hopefully I can post today. My daughter and I…

I’m sorry-I thought I requested to skip a week because I was out of town! Cre804 Friday PW 195.5 (I think) CW 197.5 I tried to eat smart (took bread and cheese off and stuff) but it was just too many days eating out. Guessing I was retaining a bit of water, but my eating habits have been trash this week too. Finally made…

Cre804 Friday PW 197.0 CW 195.5 Admin: I will be out of town next Friday so I won’t be able to weigh in until the following week.

Cre804 Fridays PW 196.5 CW 197.0 I had to weigh in this morning with a big bandage on my toe so that has to account for a half pound, right? 😂 I dropped something on my toe several months ago and the damaged toenail was growing wonky so it had to be removed yesterday. It looks like it’s wearing a big Bozo nose! 😂 I only…

Cre804 Friday PW 195.0 CW 196.5 Not surprised since last week seemed like an anomaly.

Cre894 Friday PW 198.0 CW 198.5 Thought I was going to pull off a loss this week but it looks like water retention from Chinese food is catching up with me.

Cre804 Friday PW 198.5 CW 198.0 I am back to my pre-vacation weight! Here’s the view from the top in Positano, along with the 20 minutes of steps it took to get there:

Cre804 Friday PW 197.5 CW 198.0 After 18 days in Italy, with multiple pizzas, pastas and gelatos, I am thrilled with a half pound gain!

Cre804 Friday PW 198.5 CW 198.0 Just a reminder to admins that I will be on vacation the rest of the month. I expect to be back to weigh-ins on Friday, May 3. Arrivederci!
