JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Oct 13, 2023) PW: 238.2 CW: 238.5 Another grinding week at work with the new role and all the year end budget cuts and 2024 planning. Very long hours sitting at my desk - no walks or exercise, however I've been eating less due to the stress. lindamtuck2018 - You nailed it with your comment…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Oct 6, 2023) PW: 240.1 CW: 238.2 No exercise this week as I was just pulled into a new role at work with great visibility to Sr. Leadership at the company but along with that comes very long hours, high stress, and little sleep so hopefully once I get established, things will return to…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Sep 29, 2023) PW: 239.2 CW: 240.1 Lots of ups and downs this week - unfortunately I ended it back in the 240s (although just barely). I've been walking more and started lifting weights again recently so hopefully will be done with the 240s soon.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Sep 22, 2023) PW: 240.7 CW: 239.2 Every day this week has been under 240 so maybe I've finally shifted into the next lower rung. I'm going to be careful this weekend not to break the trend!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Sep 15, 2023) PW: 239.3 CW: 240.7 Rats! What a difference 24 hours can make - I was a full 2 lbs lighter yesterday morning! Oh well - just keep focused on the trend (despite how slow as it might be).

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Sep 8, 2023) PW: 241.4 CW: 239.3 Down … up ... down … up … down … down. Does anyone else feel like they're on a roller coaster or an elevator? At the end of the day, I'm (barely) back in the 230's again so I guess it's good to end on a positive note. I just had my annual physical yesterday…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Sep 1, 2023) PW: 238.8 CW: 241.4 Very unusual week. I gained 3.6 lbs in a single day earlier in the week and I don't recall anything I did as out of the ordinary (other than some awful sleep patterns) but it put me back into the 240's so I'll just have to keep pushing ahead. Needless to say,…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Aug 25, 2023) PW: 240.8 CW: 238.8 Too hot outside to do much this week but I showed more restraint on the intake so I guess that was the driver. Thankfully temperatures are expected to normalize on Saturday and I'll go back to my morning walks again.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Aug 18, 2023) PW: 239.8 CW: 240.8 No worries here - I'm optimistic that I'm still on the way down, just bouncing around a bit. We went to the baseball game on Thursday night and we'll just say the food options are bordering on a substitute for the human equivalent of a salt lick.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Aug 11, 2023) PW: 242.4 CW: 239.8 It was a good week!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Aug 4, 2023) PW: 243.5 CW: 242.4

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 28, 2023) PW: 240.5 CW: 243.5 Despite getting in just over 50,000 steps in 3 days at the Smoky Mountains, I guess there's only so much you can burn off if you're eating out 3 meals / day for almost a week. We had a great time on vacation and now it's time to get back to work! Here we…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 21, 2023) PW: 238.3 CW: 240.5 Ugh - I knew last week's loss was too good to be true. We're leaving for vacation in a few hours to the Smoky Mountains - White water rafting on Saturday and then 2 days of hiking in the mountains. As long as I take it easy on the restaurant meals, I should…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 14, 2023) PW: 239.7 CW: 238.3 For all the wedding celebrating and meals out and on the road, I didn't have high expectations for this week's weigh in but I've been mindful of my eating after returning home so I guess that helped.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (July 7, 2023) PW: 239.3 CW: 239.7 I need to weigh in 1 day early as we're leaving in about an hour for Columbus, OH for our daughter Olivia's wedding this weekend. I brought my work out clothes because I know we'll be doing some celebrating!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 30, 2023) PW: 239.7 CW: 239.3

@lindamtuck2018 - I guess I didn't read my earlier post very well as I left a few words out. Yes, our oldest daughter is getting married on July 8th. They're great for each other and we're very happy for them and excited to share this joyous event with family and friends.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 23, 2023) PW: 240.8 CW: 239.7 SW: 240 I'm actually a little surprised given the stressful and super busy weeks I've had at work. Once more working weekend and big week of presentations ahead of me and the we have the 4th of July holiday around the corner followed by our oldest…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 16, 2023) PW: 239.5 CW: 240.8 Had to go into the office 3x this week (very unusual) so dinners and happy hours out with my teams took its toll. Susan I are leaving for Florida in a few hours and on to Dothan, AL to celebrate her Aunt & Uncle's 50th anniversary so I'll need a little more…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 9, 2023) PW: 237.9 CW: 239.5 Not surprised - very busy week for both Susan and I and we ended up eating out several nights this week. Last night was Mexican with the typical sodium overload which I'm sure contributed a bit to my gain this week.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (June 2, 2023) PW: 237.7 CW: 237.9 I've been bouncing around the same weight for the last few weeks

@lindamtuck2018 JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (May 26, 2023) PW: 237.9 CW: 237.7

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (May 19, 2023) PW: 237.9 CW: 237.9 So getting back to where I was last week took some work as I was quite a bit higher after last weekend on the road. We drove to Indianapolis last Friday for a soccer tournament with our youngest son that started night. Saturday morning was game #2 and then…

@lindamtuck2018 JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (May 12, 2023) PW: 237.7 CW: 237.9 I've been working so hard this week that I forgot it was Friday! I worked out much harder than usual yesterday and I sure am feeling it now, but that's a good thing. We leave for Indianapolis at noon today for a soccer tournament for our…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (May 5, 2023) PW: 236.3 CW: 237.7 Back to my same weight from the prior week. :( I've eaten healthy most of the week but not so much last night … and I guess it's showing. The good news is that the weather is finally getting nice enough that I don't have any legitimate excuse to start more…

@lindamtuck2018 JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Friday (Apr 28, 2023) PW: 237.7 CW: 236.3 I'm off to a good start with my first Friday weigh-in (previously was doing Mondays)!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Apr 24) PW: 238.1 CW: 237.7 This is my last Monday weigh-in as I'm switching to Friday's from here on out.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Apr 17, 2023) PW: 239.2 CW: 238.1 SW: 240 Yes - I'm down a pound but between eating out Friday night (power was out due to heavy storms), Saturday night (my Mom's birthday) and Sunday night (high school basketball banquet for my son), it was hard to get a break although I chose reasonably…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Apr 10, 2023) PW: 236.2 CW: 239.2 It was really nice to spend the Easter weekend with both sides of our family … but family celebrations also mean lots of eating and I didn't hold back (enough). The good news is that the gain was temporary as I lost it all the next day. Monday weigh-ins are…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Apr 3, 2023) PW: 237 CW: 236.2 Hello Downsizers, my name is Jim (54) and live in St. Louis, Missouri with my wife Susan and our son who's a high school junior. We have another son in college and two adult daughters. We're big travelers and have taken the kids to all 50 states and DC to visit…
