  • @RunningGirlKC I just wanted to say I agree with the above comment. Way to go! Your post was EXACTLY what I needed to see today. Thanks for sharing it.
  • I'm down 2.6. I had a good week in that my head was in the game. Last week, I stated goals of 300 calories of junk food for the week and drinking more water. I did much better on both but was still a bit over on the junk food, and water should be even more. I tracked every day which was helpful. We're headed on vacation…
  • Hey there Goad! I'm up four pounds since my last official weigh-in on November 11th. My guess is the bulk of that came from the past two weeks. I'm going to end the year darn near where I ended it last year (slightly below) which is not at all a good thing. I had a good chat with a friend yesterday about how I've gotten…
  • I appreciate the specificity of "53" pounds. Not "50" pounds. Clearly there's solid research to support such an exact number.
  • I'm even over four weeks. My head has been neither in the game nor out. While I haven't taken steps to lose weight, I also haven't over-indulged while traveling quite a bit. I have a busy month ahead, and it will be too easy to "eat on the fly" if I don't set a plan.
  • I'm up 2. It was a decent week, so I'm not sure why the large gain. However, my arthritis pain is back after a wonderful five-day absence, so maybe some of this is inflammation. Have a great weekend!
  • Hey Friday Weighers!! I'm out of town again but remembered to weigh yesterday. I'm down 1.4 since September 15th. I'll take it. Separately, I've experienced a truly miraculous reprieve in arthritis pain/systemic inflammation for the past four days. As a result I'm eager to sustain this gift by being extremely careful about…
  • Hi All. I'm not avoiding the scale, I'm just out of town with no easy access to one. We're having a little road trip getaway. More alcohol than normal (drinks every day which I don't normally do), but meals have generally been under control. Back at it tomorrow. I HATE the pics of me that we've taken, so there's so some…
  • Charlie, I wish I could say it was that simple. It's more like: Why can't I remember that I want to (insert desired thing here.) My weight isn't the only thing suffering. I'm feeling especially scatter-brained lately. Probably time for a full check-up.
  • Happy New Year, Steve. I'm down .6. This week could have gone either way because I really didn't pay attention. There was minimal junk food, but I didn't track at all. Here's a "Not a Revelation" for you: I need to pay attention to what I eat in order to lose weight. Duh.
  • Al, I'm cuing up Jermaine Jackson: "S-E-R-I-O-U-S Baby, let's get serious" 😃
  • I'm even for the week, as of today. I was consistently showing a 1+ pound loss for most of the week, but today is the official day, so that's what gets posted. I visited a favorite gf bakery/lunch place yesterday and over-indulged in sampling their wares. I know that in the long-run, one day is not a huge deal, but it did…
  • I'm up 1.2 over three weeks. I just attended a high school reunion, and I'm mortified at the pictures of me. There hadn't been a reunion since 2014 when I was nearly at the peak of my weight loss on the old WW program and feeling great. I was at the very low end of the BMI chart when I graduated. I honestly think some…
  • I'm down 1 pound. Happy with that given my effort. I'm thinking about joining a gym with a pool and trying lap swimming. Hip arthritis has prevented any meaningful activity for awhile now, and I'm realizing just how atrophied and weak I've become from inactivity due to daily pain. I'm trying to put off hip replacement, but…
  • Derrick, my father is 81. Between the ages of 75-78, he lost about 90 pounds all on his own and is now at a healthy weight. I believe you can do it.
  • Well, I was wrong about not gaining enough weight to make me wince/feel bad about not checking in since late June. I'm up 4.8. Blah.
  • Sorry about your cat, Greg.
  • Hi All, I was out of town and/or hosted guests a lot in July, and I didn't make tracking good and weighing-in a priority. I was also looser with my eating, by choice. I can happily say, I never felt out of control, but in hindsight, I wish I'd paid a little more attention and at least mentally tracked and checked in here…
  • @steve0mania Congratulations!
  • @Al_Howard - - what do you think is going on to cause you to be eating out of control? Is there a life stressor? Change in meds? Too much limitation/restriction in food? Something else? You've worked so hard and diligently to get to goal. Hope you can get your head back to where you need it to be this week.
  • Hey Friday Weighers! I'm up .2 for the week. Clearly not doing enough to lose weight but still feeling like I'm paying attention more often than not. Need to up that to "even more often." Positives for the week in terms of weight loss are 1) I'm doing a ton of baking for a fundraiser next week, and I'm not really tempted…
  • Hey Friday Weighers! I'm down 1.6. I had a decent/more attentive week than the last couple were, but my head still isn't quite where it was a few weeks back when I was "dialed in." I'm feeling optimistic, though. One big reason for my optimism is that I had a cortisone shot in my hip earlier this week and am feeling like a…
  • Yay Derrick and Charlie, and good on ya Al for going the meeting. I'm up 2.4 pounds. It wasn't necessarily a bad week, but it was an inattentive week. I thought I was ready to jump back in after a couple weeks of what I thought was "maintenance eating," but I really must track at this stage. Eyeballing/guestimating is fine…
  • I'm a slow loser even when I'm being strict and diligent. Not to impose a time limit or anything ('cause we all know weight loss isn't linear), but I'll be happy if I start renting in the 170s in August. If it's sooner than that, I'll be throwing one heck of a housewarming party. All are invited.
  • I thought about this old post today after Charlie posted his daily weights for the past week. FWIW Charlie, I'm currently chasing you. It'll be awhile, but I thought you should know. 😁
