Went for a hike yesterday at Falls Lake, part of the "mountains to sea" trail. Walked about 45 minutes. Nice day for it, not too hot or humid.

@kandi3570 You have done awesome, and your 25 cent dress is adorable! I agree with you about letting your daughter decide for herself because fighting with her about her weight would only make things worse. It is hard to stand back and watch your teenagers learn to take care of themselves.

Update on my health: Had a scan Monday which showed my liver looks good with no change in the tumor (the doctor thinks it has died in place) and small changes to one or two lymph nodes. Probably side effects of the Keytruda. Doctor wants to do a biopsy if possible and has scheduled a scan in seven weeks to check on it. I…

Half a pound is good! I have been a little more thoughtful about eating snacks between meals and especially at night.

I joined with the intention of losing about 20 pounds and succeeded with the first 5 or so, then in March 2020 - yes just before Covid shut everything down - was diagnosed with liver cancer and advised to…

@minstrelofsarcasm Somehow forgot to weigh this morning, will do tomorrow Beautiful day here in NC - sunny, low 80s, no humidity and a light breeze. I have enjoyed sitting outside reading and working in the garden

@sandielewis2001 great job on the walk today and putting us on the loss list this week.

@ljdanny My last colonoscopy was about 6 years ago - age 62. I also told the doctor I wouldn't do it again and he laughed. Since I'll be 72 when I'm due for the next one I just might pull it off. I'm pretty sure the cutoff is age 72. I had an endoscopy last year before I started the chemo treatments to rule out cancer in…

pacsnc6 Thursday weigh in week 4 pw: 161.8 cw: 161.1 Surprised by to day's weight, dropped about a pound since Tuesday! And another surprise -I measured my hips yesterday at 42" - I have lost 3" which shows it pays for me to eat more protein, less fat and carbs

Was just looking at my "Habit Tracker" goals for the month and surprised myself how many days I hit the number for protein. Also the number of days I beat the step count. Pleasantly surprised! I had another dose of Keytruda on Thursday - hopefully getting closer to ending this journey through cancer. The next scan is a…

Saw a good movie yesterday - Here Today with Billy Crystal. It's funny and sad at the same time. A comedy writer with dementia trying to deal with family issues and loss of memory.
