JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (November 28, 2025) PW: 247.3 CW: 249.3 No surprises here with Thanksgiving being yesterday but it was great to spend time with my brother's family and my parents along with 3 f our 4 kids. I didn't go nuts but it's hard not to take on a bunch of calories even with some modest constraint.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (November 21, 2025) PW: 245.5 CW: 247.3 Ugh!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (November 14, 2025) PW: 247.1 CW: 245.5 Better week but I'm really looking forward to getting outside again in this unusually warm weather.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (November 7, 2025) PW: 243.9 CW: 247.1 Mexican dinner last night (lots of sodium) partly to blame for the increase, the rest of it lies with me since I went back for seconds. I should see a big drop next week.

@lauren_989 - Our Alaskan cruise was incredible - you'll have a great time! We added a rail trip to ours to spend a few days up at Denali / Mt McKinley which was fantastic and well worth it (when else are you ever going to be that close by?). We also did some white water rafting (lots of fun but super cold as you can…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (October 31, 2025) PW: 246.1 CW: 243.9 Today is my 57th birthday so I knew I was going to have to buckle down this week to offset what will probably be a little too much celebrating this weekend followed by the sneaking of a few of those bite-sized snickers (the really small ones) if we don't…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (October 24, 2025) PW: 245.7 CW: 246.1 Just given a 3 year transformative program to lead at work so it's been early mornings and late nights. No exercise to speak of but eating healthy - I do need to reduce portion sizes though. I'm considering retiring next June-ish but I don't have it in…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (October 17, 2025) PW: 245.6 CW: 245.7 Oh so close! @lauren_989 - I certainly understand the need to break up this group if no one steps up to take the lead (I'm committed to a demanding job but could see helping out when I retire) so I just want to say thanks for stepping in to cover for…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (October 10, 2025) PW: 244.9 CW: 245.6 I know I'm up from last Friday but also glad to be down almost 3 pounds after too much 'celebrating' out of town last weekend. That said, I need to get back to the basics after 3 weeks of gains. 😣

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (October 3, 2025) PW: 243.8 CW: 244.9 Mexican dinner last night usually corresponds to higher salt intake and water retention so I'm not surprised to see an upward bump.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (September 26, 2025) PW: 243.6 CW: 243.8 Too many long days at work but we'll be home this weekend so looking forward to getting back to my regular routine and getting my heart rate up from exercise instead of stress. 😀

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (September 19, 2025) PW: 244 CW: 243.6 @lauren _989 My sincerest apologies for the delay. I won't go into the details but it involved leaving early Friday (I weighed in but forgot to submit it) to drive my car on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (we couldn't pass but I did get up to 117 mph)…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (September 12, 2025) PW: 245 CW: 244 What's holding me back the most? Definitely lack of exercise and sleep. I eat relatively healthy foods but I work like crazy and only sleep 5 or so hours a night on average. I'm hoping to retire in about 7-8 months and have plans to fill my time with…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (September 5, 2025) PW: 243.6 CW: 245 The Memorial weekend was fun but took it's tool (despite the extra activity) so I've been slowly dipping since Monday but just not enough. We're leaving for Columbus, Ohio in a few hours to see our daughter and son at the Ohio State football game on…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (August 29, 2025) PW: 244.4 CW: 243.6 Looking forward to a 3-day weekend with the US Labor Day holiday. We have a very social weekend coming up so I need to stay busy and moving.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (August 22, 2025) PW: 243.7 CW: 244.4 All the kids are gone again. We've just got the last of our four in college (sophomore now) so we're getting a sneak peak at 'free birding', my wife's preferred term over empty nesting. I have to admit that it'll be good to return my normal diet again…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (August 15, 2025) PW: 244.1 CW: 243.7 We're leaving in a few hours to drop our youngest son off at college (9 hr drive to Alabama) to start his sophomore year. Once again, it'll be quiet around the house.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (August 8, 2025) PW: 243.7 CW: 244.1 We should get plenty of exercise this weekend as we're moving our older son to his new apartment in Indianapolis, Indiana (we live in St. Louis, Missouri so just ~ 4 hr drive) so lots of lifting, going up and down stairs as he'll be on the 2nd floor so its…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (August 1, 2025) PW: 244.8 CW: 243.7 Apologies for being a bit behind - so busy these days. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 25, 2025) PW: 242.7 CW: 244.8 No surprise - it's due to deprioritizing exercise in favor of lots and lots of hours working (and sitting in a chair all day). I'm getting on the rowing machine right after this update!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 18, 2025) PW: 245.2 CW: 242.7 This was a productive but vey long week at work (2026 planning). I'm typically up between 4:30 - 5:30 am every day (even weekends) but typically am exhausted and get to bed around 10 pm but I had 2 nights working to nearly midnight. That said, it's Friday…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 11, 2025) PW: 242.8 CW: 245.2 Up 4.6 lbs … down 4.6 lbs … up 2.4 lbs. Someone get me off this yo yo! We're leaving around noon today to drive up to Muncie, Indiana for our oldest daughter's first half iron man race. I wish I had her persistence and drive but it's certainly inspiring -…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 4, 2025) PW: 247.4 CW: 242.8 Don't get me wrong - I'm pleased with this week's result but I was up the exact amount last week so I'm just to back even from June 20. Now I'm positioned to start making progress again.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 27, 2025) PW: 242.8 CW: 247.4 Um … Sorry for posting a day late (I've been in denial for the last 24 hrs). We went out for our 29th anniversary on Thursday night and really enjoyed a nice multi-course dinner and wine. I'm not sure what happened but I did confirm nothing else was on the…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 20, 2025) PW: 244.9 CW: 242.8 Not a good week for exercise but I did resist going back for seconds at dinner on multiple occasions and I think that's what the difference.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 13, 2025) PW: 243.6 CW: 244.9 No worries about this week's gain … we went out last night for an upscale steak dinner for my brother's 50th birthday party. I wanted to enjoy myself and not worry about weigh-in day the next morning but I am looking forward to working towards earning my…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 6, 2025) PW: 247.6 CW: 243.6 After 2 weeks of losing weight during the week, only to gain it back on weigh in day, I finally got the timing right! Now, if I can just repeat the cycle 😄 the rest of the month.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (May 30, 2025) PW: 247 CW: 247.6 I've been down all week and then last night we had our friends retirement party (after 30 years of teaching 3rd graders!) at a local Bar B-Q restaurant. So much for ending May on a 'low' note.😣

Hi lauren_989 - I've been out of the country the last 2 weeks with no access to a scale but I mentioned that I'd be a no show for that time on my 5/2 weigh-in. I'll include a summary of the trip once I'm able to copy some the pictures from my phone to my PC (yes I'm old-school or 'technically challenged') as i only use MFP…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (May 2, 2025) PW: 243.8 CW: 243.9 Sorry for the lack of an introduction but I just have a few minutes. Please skip me for the next 2 Fridays as we have our son's college graduation followed by a trip to Japan and the Philippines but I'll be back just in time for the 5/23 weigh in!
