Checking in- 2 hours until weigh-in I feel heavy.

Checking in- no news but some hope. Have been well within the calorie and nutrition goals. DRANK 2 large glasses of water--tasted good. Made high-fiber muffins and deviled eggs. 1-21 193.7 # official 1-22 about 188 at Y 1-24 still about 188 at Y 1-25 home with sick kid 1-26 home with sick child and I have sneezed, and feel…

Not doing nothing here today. Had apple cinnamon tea and tangerine for breakfast (need to delay eating in mornings due to meds) and it looks like a no-move day. 2 days until weigh-in -hoping I am south of last week. Thinking I can go to pool tomorrow morning 5-7 and leave kid to sleep. Will check on you tomorrow!

OOH-OOH, please let me try this. I can't weigh me everyday to be honest-it is too discouraging. And the boy seems to have hidden my scale. I can weigh at the YMCA but didn't go today b/c boy is SICK. I am at WW so really weigh just 1 x weekly but 1-21 193.7 # official 1-22 about 188 at Y 1-24 still about 188 at Y Goal is…

I'm in Virginia. I hope to lose 70, if not 80 pounds, and am using WeightWatchers. For not quite a week. I have also lost weight before but never long-term with the most being about 40 pounds. I think I need to tweek my plans a bit, add multi-vit-min and take fiber. I have been going to the pool this week but today son is…

Who has what challenge? I was busy hiding out here but you have found me. Do let me know because maybe it will be a small motion toward my posterior! Okay, let me struggle back to get this lard moving. I had a doughnut for breakfast because the kid did not. I had weak Apple juice to drink. My son's last year's Christmas…

Just dropping in. Been draggling my feet off this wagon into sweet carbohydrates. Going to climb back on and ... well, hang in here. Painted my laundry room mostly, needs another coat and the ceiling done. No damage from latest hurricane. Need to clean yard of blown about leaves and twigs and then mow! No excitement is…

Morning you glories! Last night, I dreamed I looked in a mirror and my upper and lower was about the same but my waist and abs were soooo thin. I was so surprised and thought hmmm maybe I am overdoing. Obviously, I probably need to have my dream preventer pill adjusted. Dreamed all night apparently, was married to a guy…

Welcome to our 2 newest friends here! I am not really a best me of late. I think of myself I am sad to say like a barrel-all chunky middle and no change despite arm and leg wobbles. Sigh. NO exercise happening. There may be time to go to pool today after 7:30 but then ...well, whine. I did get most of the yard mowed and…

Good morning. Read about 2 Marines found in Mexico-just too sad. Cloudy and has rained sometime here-won't mow today. Have stopped losing and feel like not working. Son wants an apple pie but I suspect he just wants to make one, not eat it. Sort of argh and had 3 dreams in one night. Will be sure to take anti-depressant?…

The laundry is on my son's railroad table, it is about 5 feet high. The laundry is, not the table which is only 2 feet high. Hope all North Carolinians are fine. My church is going to Edenton? weekend of Oct 13 to help remove flooring, walls, and so forth. I am gaining lotsa weight, sigh. No time to exercise as I chase son…

Snowflake had snow! Wow. Took the kid on a sailing schooner today. Lovely here in Chesapeake Bay but of course, afterward he was sick...as in drive home very fast and shower him and his clothes down. Allergies I think and he did not take his pill. Oh well, he feels better and I have sprayed a pine scented can of air…

I read that some of you just feel tired. Me, too. Not sure though-getting good rest, exercising (not as much as I had) but maybe I am a bit exasperated. I was late to church today but the service was good in terms of what was being discussed. I do not like my son's dog and had to try to get him to let himself be caught for…

Argh, not a great day. Waiting for the storm, traffic all over, went to Wal-Mart and shelves are way down. They had all I wanted. We will just hunker down in house and watch the neighbor's pecan tree which I suspect never liked me anyhow. I did manage to get to church on time and to get son's computer to work for his…

AARGGH -- went out to mow for exercise and to beat the storm. Along came 2 little fellers who wanted to mow. I spent the time knowing they would get hurt and just hoping the mower would run out of gas. Finally I said it was getting dark and I had to go. Cute but...where was the momma that did not come looking for them?…

JESCHEPP Great! I am just jealous, jealous jealous, er, proud, proud, proud of you. i went to the pool yesterday and exercised all by myself. Today we have a hectic schedule so sort of have my hair sticking out everywhere. Gotta keep calorie count going, drink a bunch, try to see if exercise can be done, and get kid thru…

Hey! I saw MLS had a great day. And as I type, I think maybe FLORENCE has arrived. Just needed rain here--no big worry at all. Can not read at all. So tired of the fuzz and need to see. Got into a SCAM today and am just that perturbed that I haven't let it go. Did watch calories-too tired to eat. Did not drink enough so…

You all have been so busy. Can see it, just can not read it. Surgery went well and I can see much clearer at distance. Bad news-my mirror is at the distance I can see and wow, am I old and saggy. I need to drink much more today. Else no exercise until next week and wear goggles. Scale at hospital said 188-that's 2 less…

I made it through today. Son is outside putting garbage in large can. He's been gone a while. I have 2 more rounds of drops to do and I am just quitting anything that did not get done. Wednesday-Garbage needs to go out to curb. Drink more water. Insert drops. Watch calories like a hawk. Set alarm for surgery 5 am. Get kid…

My eyes are not a match. I know one is better but mostly I just can't see from it. Started drops in the other eye for surgery and keeping going on drops (3 x 4 daily) so this is not as bad as I thought! Oh BEX yuck. I would have probably left the laundry until morning! I am just too lazy. Is your big one at school? Mine is…

Hot humid and very sunny. Chased around town looking for Oscar Meyer Weinermobile (seriously)-it did not make the 10 am show so they told us noon at the next place but then it was 1:30 when it rolled in. My son was amazed even though I tried to explain and even sang the song for him. He got a whistle and a free hot dog but…

I am awake. Left eye firmly closed. The only great thing I recall is 191 on scale at hospital-down from 204 at doctor's office. Having an apple for breakfast and feeling around for pills. Argh. Back to school for kid, clean a bit of kitchen and likely hide in bed after this. STOP eating everything I can find. Organize…

Alive and well. They say it went fine but I can not recall what I was supposed to do and so forth. Ah found written instructions. Back to bed. Ate cheese, drank lemonade, I want ICE in stuff~

Checking in. 1. It is obvious that any socializing and/or party sort of thing is a major foe of my progress. Four days later and I am still way up in calories. 2. I can not keep up with school field trips. Over 90 degrees and I counted walking for an hour around the zoo as exercise. Ok, tomorrow 1. Don't be late for…

Home from the party-I tried to eat only a little but 2000+ calories and that is just what I can recall! The baked beans were so good! Banana pudding was superb. And my fruit dip was excellent and I have more in frig. On the bright side, I was not late for church, I found a person to take me to surgery and then stay and…

Yard sales! Love 'em, but not going because I need to get rid of all my junk. Sighed to read of doctor woes here and there. Two appointments this week coming up. Was going to try that keto diet but after looking here and there, guess not. Just looks too tight on carbs. I am more of a South Beacher but truth is need to keep…

CSCHMITZ Wow, you are so down in the weight! I think I have lost some since the doctor's office but no tell-tale signs in the clothes. My son's keyboard has decided not to type. Will tote it to Geek Squad tomorrow. I have been eating uncontrollably but the site says I am keeping under limit. The 8 am pool class keeps me…

Definitely ginger just as BEX said. BEX- Sorry about the dog eating the toys. Ours did the same thing and so far Jeb is carrying the poor little critters minus stuffing around.I was going to mend and add back filling but I did not yet. Sunday-Ate out but only 690 calories so that's doable with day. 6 glasses of water so…

Good morning. Son woke me up so here I am waiting for him to bring dog inside--he will have been eaten by mosquitoes. Had a peach for breakfast and now I have to wrangle the pills in. Much too wet with dew to mow this morning. I will watch the calories today and keep them way down-so far no sodium in the peach!! I dreamed…
