JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 26, 2024) PW: 241.2 CW: 239.9 The weather was cold this week and dampened my inspiration to get out and walk in the mornings (it's raining now) so I'm looking forward to St. Louis finally getting into Spring mode. So while I remained mostly stationary this week, at least the healthy…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 19, 2024) PW: 239.6 CW: 241.2 I'm not worried or upset about the gain as I was in good shape yesterday and last night was senior night for our high school son's volley ball team. The game started late because of a tornado drill while the JV team was close to finishing up, then we had…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 12, 2024) PW: 241.3 CW: 239.6 It's funny how I always seem to weigh less the day before weigh in day (or am I the only one?) … until you don't! It's nice to finally break into the next floor on weigh in day!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 5, 2024) PW: 241.1 CW: 241.3 Interesting timing that yesterday's question of the day was your dream car as it's been a stressful week trying to sell my old car (the black one in the background which sold last night). I really took care of it and it was a good deal for the next buyer but…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Mar 29, 2024) PW: 241.5 CW: 241.1 It's been 2 weeks since I was out of town last week on vacation (we had a nice relaxing time in FL for sun, surf and baseball). A great week filled with family, good food (reasonably healthy), nice long walks and all but one day of good weather. I got a…

Hi Linda - I mentioned last week that I’m on vacation and don’t have access to a scale so I’ll be weighing in this coming Friday.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Mar 15, 2024) PW: 242.3 CW: 241.5 Another small loss but it's 3 weeks in a row so the trend is my friend! I honestly didn't expect to have another good week as I've had little time to sleep or exercise as it's been non-stop work and dealing with the stress of buying a sports car on-line…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Mar 8, 2024) PW: 243.3 CW: 242.3 It was a good week!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Mar 1, 2024) PW: 243.7 CW: 243.3 We had a couple of warm days so it was good to resume my morning walk again but now it's below freezing again and rainy so I'm looking forward to Spring. We leave this afternoon for Kansas City for our son's soccer tournament so I'm sure we'll be having BBQ…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Feb 23, 2024) PW: 241.5 CW: 243.7 Mexican restaurants (the night before weigh-in) will always be my undoing. We went out with my parents after our son's final regular season basketball game - and since Friday also happened to be National Margarita Day, there was no talking my wife out of…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Feb 16, 2024) PW: 241.3 CW: 241.5 Rough week at work but I'm through it (mostly - I have to work the weekend for a big presentation on Monday morning). I've had a terrible cough for about a month now and I'm tired of it (so is my wife) so I'll be calling the doctor on Monday. Outside of…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Feb 9, 2024) PW: 240.9 CW: 241.3 Sorry for the delay - it was a hectic Friday at work and then straight to 'Senior Night' at our son's varsity basketball game (he scored 12 points) which was great to have the grandparents and a few cousins there for the team win. We're off to Columbus, OH to…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Feb 2, 2024) PW: 242.2 CW: 240.9 Happy to be starting 2024 (and ending January) with a loss.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Jan 26, 2023) PW: 242 CW: 242.2 3 weeks of losses in a row may have been too much to hope for but .2 lbs is a rounding error in my book so I'll take that as a wash and see if I can get down to that 240 - 241 range next Friday. To myhands4God "Don’t dig your grave with your own knife and…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Jan 19, 2023) PW: 243.1 CW: 242.0 Yay! Two weeks of losses in a row. Not much of a drop but I'll consider this the start of a new trend resulting from more conscious portion sizes (and the chocolate from Christmas is running out). Now it's time to get a few minutes on the rowing machine.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Jan 12, 2023) PW: 244.2 CW: 243.1 Like a yo-yo, I'm up one week and down the next. Aiming for two in row next week.

@rainyrae - Yes, we're big buckeye fans as we have 2 kids that attend Ohio State. Our oldest daughter is back getting her 2nd degree - this time in music education (her passion) but she was in the Marching band (French horn) and loved it. Her brother is a junior and is also in the Marching band (he plays the Sousaphone…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Jan 5, 2023) PW: 242.1 CW: 244.2 So I missed last week's weigh-in as the family was out of town to attend the Cotton Bowl game in the Dallas, TX area. Terrible football game but lots of fun with having all 4 kids back with us for more than a week. I've been sick the last few days - nothing…

Team Captains (@lindamtuck2018 and @Megan_smartiepants1970) We're leaving for the Cotton Bowl game (Ohio State vs. Mizzou) and won't be back until Sunday and I won't be able to weigh-in for the next 4 days so I'll be skipping this coming Friday and will resume on Friday, Jan 5th. Thanks.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Dec 22, 2023) PW: 242.6 CW: 242.1 First day off in a long time and I'm not planning to do much work over the holidays so I'm really glad to finally be able to relax in a long time. Our older son got home from college a few days ago and younger daughter arrives tonight with her boyfriend and…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Dec 15, 2023) PW: 241.2 CW: 242.6 Another long week at work and I'm looking forward to time off with family.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Dec 8, 2023) PW: 242 CW: 241.2 A loss is a loss so I'll take it - I'm trying to get back under 240 again by end of year and am pretty close if I can just get off my butt and exercise! What do you think your biggest obstacle to losing weight in the next month? How about the next 6 months?…

Hello Downsizers, my name is Jim and I live in St. Louis, Missouri with my wife Susan and our youngest son who's a high school senior (soon to be empty nesters). We have another son in college and two adult daughters. We're big travelers and have taken the kids to all 50 states to visit all the capitals and many National…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Dec 1, 2023) PW: 241.6 CW: 242 Working multiple 12+ hour days, not exercising, not sleeping, etc. is starting to take a toll. I was actually not disappointed to only creep up this much because I know I can lose it again if I can get over this 2024 budget exercise at work. We have plans…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Nov 24, 2023) PW: 239.4 CW: 241.6 Having a weigh-in day right after the Thanksgiving holiday isn't ideal but we'll be getting plenty of steps in today now that we can start putting up the Christmas decorations (after cleaning the house first). We did enjoy getting together with family though…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Nov 17, 2023) PW: 239.2 CW: 239.4 A long week but I've been sleeping a little better which is a big plus. I get a mid-day break today as our son's soccer team is in the high school state semi-finals and the game is at 11:00. We face the toughest of the 4 teams so if we win today, it looks…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Nov 10, 2023) PW: 241.1 CW: 239.2 SW: 244.8 One of the benefits of waking up in the middle of the night means I can get an early start to the day and have plenty of time for a morning walk - I just need to bundle up as it's getting COLD here!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Nov 3, 2023) PW: 236.4 CW: 241.1 Apologies for being late - it's been a crazy week between work, birthday, Halloween and our youngest sons soccer team winning district championship - on to the state quarter finals! Weigh in day was a bit of a blip with the prior and post days being less so…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Oct 27, 2023) PW: 237.9 CW: 236.4 Another brutal week at work in terms of hours. I managed to get some exercise in but I think the main reason for losing weight is not having enough time (or feeling like eating) with so much on my mind. I know this is temporary and I can see some sense of…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Oct 20, 2023) PW: 238.5 CW: 237.9 Thanks for all the well wishes last week - greatly appreciated. Although it's been a very looooong week at work, it's finally Friday and while I already know I'll be putting more time over the weekend, it will be shorter days and on my schedule so I can deal…
