@tryingagain5 I am in central North Carolina. Normal temps for here are 50s this time of year. But I spent ten years in southern Louisiana and anything below 60 is cold to me! Yes, it's all a matter of perspective. My Mom lives in Massachusetts and will tell me it's hot up there when the temp goes above 45!!! I am so glad…

the sun is shining! hooray!!! Still cold outside @51. But we didn't get any snow this week so that's a good thing.

Got my first Covid Vaccine shot on Friday - Pfizer - So far feeling fine. second is scheduled for 3/3 I can hardly wait until everyone has the vaccine so we can get "back to normal" and fewer people will be getting sick and going in the hospitals.

@sleepymom5 Yes my last scan was in January and showed another 50% reduction in the size of the tumor so total down about 80%. My he,t treatment is in two weeks then I that no another scan a couple weeks later I am still feeling great but have more joint pain.

pacsnc6 week 2 pw: 161.0 cw 159.8 Finally dropped below 160 again, now to stay there!

This morning the scale says 160.7 so I'll take the 161.? from yesterday as my weigh on for the week. It means I'm on the right track for the next week. I have been close to my goal for protein this week and plan to stick with that as I think it has helped.

pacsnc6 Thursday weigh in week 1 pw: 161 cw: 161.2 -Not absolutely sure, I will check it again tomorrow morning-

Hi All, I was going to post my intro on Monday but the day got away from me. I've been busy with crafts - the weaving loom is new to me and it sucked me in to try different designs. I started a placemat last night and will keep working on it for the next several days. I am also still working on my cross stitch picture and…

We got snow overnight here in Durham NC, maybe an inch in my back yard and a dusting in the front, I think most of it stayed in the trees. I do not like snow so hope it's gone this afternoon. I have started a new project working on a sample size loom. I spent all morning yesterday rolling up the yarn that got tangled in a…

pacsnc6 Thursday weigh in week 4 pw: 159.3 cw: 161

@rachelrjh yes we roll over to next month unless you ask to change weigh in days or dropout. at the beginning of the month we can introduce ourselves again for any new members to know who wexare.

I joined silver sneakers two weeks ago and have been doing online exercise classes twice a week, mostly for balance and stability. Not enough energy used to help me lose 2 pounds any way. I will keep it up and may even try a few more strenuous classes.

pacsnc6 Week 3 pw: 161.3 cw: 159.3 How did that happen? I expected to gain after eating high sodium foods all week! I'll take it though, finally below 160 again.

@cyndiesstuff I was so glad to see you back and hoping to see more comments from you like you did before. Wishing you would stay and participate as often as you can even if just once a week. Life can get in the ay sometimes but we do need to spend time on ourselves even if just a minute to sign in here and say hello.

Got more good news from the doctor today. My tumor has shrunk anther 50% so it is about1/4 the size I started with! Yay!!!!! Plan for now is two more infusions with Keytruda then check again. I'm doing OK with weight loss this week, down 1/2 pound and that's a good thing. Still eating too many cookies but trying to balance…

@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx happy birthday. Of course you should have a piece of the cake your daughter is decorating especially for you. Besides, those calories don't count on our birthdays, right?

pacsnc6 weigh in Thursdays pw:161.8 cw:161.8 maintenance is good, particularly since the other day I was at 163.?

@melaniedscott I thought about mixing some chocolate chips in the oatmeal cookies but I used them all in the chocolate chip cookies and my husband does not eat oatmeal cookies!! @sleepymom5 I was happy to see the exercise classes available online. The only thing I wish they allowed video so the instructor could see me and…

@GingerPwr we will miss you here. Be sure to come back when you get a break. Keep up the good work on yourself.

I did my second beginners yoga class with silver sneakers online today. I really should stick with it to improve balance! But I have joint pain - a side effect from the Keytruda I think that started just before the last dose - which doesn't help when I exercise. Yes, I got some pain meds from the doctor and it helps some.…

My name is Patsy, 68 years old, about 5'2" and 160 pounds. Would love to be in the 140s. I didn't gain weight until my 40s when I was working at a desk all day. My highest was ~179~ about three years ago. I started this year doing pretty good until March when I was diagnosed with liver cancer. The doctors would prefer I…

I joined Silver Sneakers yesterday and have a yoga class scheduled for today and again Tuesday. The only exercise classes I have done before were water aerobics. I am a bit leery of this because my balance is always off, but yoga is supposed to help with balance. I can only hope it helps.

My highest weight ever was 179 about three years ago. I am now right around 160 give or take 2-3 pounds. I want to get to 145 but no time line just yet.

pacsnc6 Thursday weigh in Week 5 pw: 162.9 cw: 161.8 Back to where I was two weeks ago.

@cyndiesstuff welcome back, we missed your great advice. I hope you and your family are ding OK.

Last week of the year. We still have time to get close to, if not meet our goals for the year. I am happy to be feeling great and still having few side effects from my treatments. And I have mostly maintained my weight for the year. I did have lots of sweets the last two weeks and added in salty foods, so the couple of…

@debbiewsharpe I am right there with you with the weight gain over the last couple weeks. I had not made a lot of sweets for Christmas but I did eat all of them. So up a few pounds and really ready to get that off again. No more baking this month and more moving will help I hope. @sleepymom5 I know you have been looking…

I made some soup/stew with some of the ham left yesterday. Boiled the ham bone with carrots and onions then threw in some rice and spices. Had some for an afternoon snack today -- tasted good. So more salty food but I will eat less of the sweets. We saw the new Wonder Woman movie at noon today, good sow.

pacsnc6 week 4 pw: 161.8 cw: 162.9 I think I ate too much salty foods this week along with all the cookies
