JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (August 7, 2026) PW: 251.7 CW: 250.4 It's been a busy week and I guess all that movement helped.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 31, 2026) PW: 252.4 CW: 251.7 Jim here from St. Louis, MO (USA) - 57 YO and married for 30 years to my wonderful wife Susan who can still fit into her honeymoon Hawaiian dress after 4 kids (nearly all grown up) and all these years. I found out 4 days ago that my company approved my buy…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 24, 2026) PW: 253 CW: 252.4 Sorry for the delay yesterday, I've been focused on work, upcoming vacations, and retirement planning this week (and not much else) as I find out on Monday if I've been approved for the Volunteer Separation Program (basically a buy-out package). After 35…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 17, 2026) PW: 250.7 CW: 253 The dreaded Mexican dinner the night before weigh-in. I can't complain though since I didn't prepare the meal and it's not like someone forced me to eat those salt-laden tortilla chips. We have a busy weekend though so all the moving around should help get me…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 10, 2026) PW: 251.8 CW: 250.7 What a great way to start off a special day! Susan & I are driving to Indianapolis (from St. Louis) along with all the siblings will be there to celebrate our 2nd daughter's engagement. Hopefully our visit (along with his parents and brother) and the…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 3, 2026) PW: 251.1 CW: 251.8 All 4 kids are coming in town this weekend for 4th of July (USA) festivities and helping Susan and I to celebrate renewing our vows for our 30th anniversary. It's going to be a hot weekend so everyone stay hydrated!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 26, 2026) PW: 251.3 CW: 251.1 Down just a smidge this week.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 19, 2026) PW: 250.2 CW: 251.3 Intersting week at work - my company offered a Voluntary Separation Program (basically a buy out) and I submitted my intent. I won't find out if it's been approved as I'm supporting a critical program led by our CEO (so they can reject it) but I'm hopeful…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 12, 2026) PW: 251.8 CW: 250.2 Glad to have a good week behind me as we head to Burlington, Iowa for a family reunion (my wife's side). There's a big festival going on this weekend which we'll be at so I imagine the food choices won't be great but we should get plenty of walking in and…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 5, 2026) PW: 252.2 CW: 251.8 Hmmm … I guess I shouldn't complain but I liked yesterday's scale reading better.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (May 29, 2026) PW: 249.8 CW: 252.2 What a trip to Greece and Turkey! So many places to see (and daily steps). The cruise portion was a lot of fun but it did make it a little too easy to overeat and drink by a bit. Great way to celebrate our 30th anniversary (a little early) but glad to be…

Has anyone else lost the ability to see new group posts (I access MFP over my desktop PC)? Since returning from an extended vacation last Saturday, I'm no longer getting notifications of new posts to this group even though I literally have every Notification Preference option enabled. I've resorted to clicking on old ones…

@frankwbrown Hi Frank - I posted my weigh-in on Friday, May 1 as per my normal schedule - try the link below. Now I also mentioned that I will be traveling to Greece and Turkey for the next 3 weeks so my next weigh in won't be until Friday, May 29.…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (May 1, 2026) PW: 251 CW: 249.8 Now if I can just stay in the 240's consistently for a while (until ready to drop to the next level). Susan and I are leaving for Greece & Turkey from 5/7 - 5/23 so I'm going to miss the next 3 weigh-ins so I'll just have 2 this month (5/1 and 5/29) and…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 17, 2026) PW: 251.8 CW: 252.8 Mexican dinner the night before weigh-in consistently results in the morning after sodium bump. Thankfully, it's just temporary.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 10, 2026) PW: 250.4 CW: 251.8 Big news at work (good professionally, but more stress and long days for the next 10 weeks) so my week took a bit of a turn but I guess you know what they say about falling off the horse (or in this case, the rowing machine) … you dust yourself off and get…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 3, 2026) PW: 251.9 CW: 250.4 I feel like I'm knocking on the door of the 240's … look out, here I come!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (March 27, 2026) PW: 251.1 (from 3/13) CW: 251.9 We had a great time on vacation (Singer Island, Florida) with all 4 kids plus their significant others / friends, my parents and my brother's family. The weather was great at the start and end with a little cool temps, rain and wind in the…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (March 13, 2026) PW: 252.4 CW: 251.1 @Megan_smartiepants1970 and @ShockinglyFit - We leave for some very well-deserved vacation tomorrow so I won't be able to make next week's weigh-in (2/20) but plan to share some positive results the following week (2/27 weigh-in).

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (March 6, 2026) PW: 252.0 CW: 252.4 I'm getting burned out at work (too many long days) and I'm looking forward to taking vacation (in 8 days … but who's counting right?).

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (February 27, 2026) PW: 255.1 CW: 252.0 I forgot today was my weigh in day and was worried about having Chili last night (topped with some Chili Cheese Fritos) that all that sodium would sabotage my weight this morning but I was pretty good this week and I guess that was enough.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (February 20, 2026) PW: 252.2 CW: 255.1 Sorry for the late post - it's been a heck of a week at work and everything else got put on the back burner. At least we got some good accolades by leadership for the time and effort we put in … but I'm looking forward to getting back to some routine…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (January 30, 2026) PW: 254.7 CW: 251.7 Happy to see a big drop but since I had a 3.1 lb gain last week, this just levels me back up. After a very long week (3 nights working past 10 pm), I'm looking forward to getting out and shoveling the sidewalks (we did our 3 car driveway last weekend).

Weigh-in Day: Friday (January 23, 2026) PW: 251.6 CW: 254.7 I could blame it on mid-week celebratory dinners but the real culprit is a crazy work week, lack of sleep (two nights under 3 hours) but the reality is I didn't prioritize regular exercise. I know what I need to do and will be hitting the rowing machine after…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (January 16, 2026) PW: 252.4 CW: 251.6 A little shy of my weekly goal but moving in the right direction.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (January 9, 2026) PW: 255.2 CW: 252.4 That's more like it!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (January 2, 2026) PW: 252.1 CW: 255.2 Too much Christmas and new Years … and everything that comes along with it! Is it any wonder that New Years resolutions follow closely behind?
