  • Sunday Weigh In -- Finishing Week #12 (84 days) SW: 155.6 - 12/4/2016 PW: 137.6 CW: 138.2 GW: 122 I'll call this a successful week. Didn't do the treadmill but did up my steps at work now that my stamina has returned. I've been eating in the range of a maintenance caloric intake. Haven't gone crazy with food. The quality…

  • Sunday Weigh In -- Finishing Week #10 (70 days) SW: 155.6 - 12/4/2016 PW: 140 CW: GW: 122 The good news is that even when tempted this week, I've stayed true to my mission! I know I've lost weight. The bummer news is I ended up at the doctor on Friday where I learned what I'd feared. The viral infection I've had for what…

  • Every morning is the same for me. 2 eggs, over easy. I use about 1/4 teaspoon of olive oil on a non stick pan. 2 slices of a high quality whole wheat bread, toasted with 1/8 of a tablespoon of butter. The butter is just enough to enjoy the flavor of butter. 342 calories. On occasion, I'll add some jam. A breakfast with…

  • Nekked, Naked or Nude ? Helping high schoolers become accustom to discussing a lack of clothing in an art history class, we use the say, "Nekked is what you are in the bushes. Naked is what you are in the bathroom. Nude is what you are in art." Guess that means I weigh in naked, but am working on being nude.

  • Fiddletime, I'm among the 50 somethings in the group so not too far behind you age wise. Your TDEE does present a challenge. I once did intense exercise for 20 minutes twice a day and had success in jump starting my metabolism. Don't know the research on this but do know if you increase your activity/exercise, vigorous or…

  • Fiddletime, I can relate to the multiple weight loss successes and wanting to stress maintance this go round. Help me understand the 1350 calories you are saying are your maintance. I'm eatin 1340 calories and each week I'm losing weight. Are you exercising? Are you active at all? My maintance is probably about 1850. We…

About .4 of that is likely from last week and it just didn't show at the time I weighed last Sunday. I was so scared I wouldn't pull things together…

  • SheilaCali Good progress, SheliaCali. A weekly weigh-in challenge for the whole year is a great challenge. Step challenges are motivating me. Its getting me some good treadmill time. You are so right, it isn't about talking about it -- its about doing it! Counting steps is also a different approach for me and somewhat out…

  • Good morning! I'd appreciate some insight into how you reply to other posts. By that I mean the efficiency of responding to many people by name in a single post. How do you mange this? Do you make brief notes while reading posts and then write your post? Or open two screens and read posts in one while constructing your…

  • It is great that you feel awful! :wink: Sounds like your body is no longer use to the sugar/oil, etc - whatever it is reacting to. Its nice when office groups start a health challenge right before Thanksgiving and extend it till Jan. 1st. Helps get all that junk out of the office. Maybe if some of us are still here next…

  • Nikki, I wrote a reply to your email but it looks like it didn't post. I see a weight loss of .2. I weigh almost everyday but I always consider my PW my weekly Sunday weigh in. Some people just like to weigh once a week. Either way, you LOST for the week.
