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…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Mar 27, 2023) - A little overdue PW: 237 CW: 238.7 My sincerest apologies for the delay in weighing in. I was on vacation for a week+ without access to a scale on 3/20 and my weight from last Monday reflects eating on the road for 2 days (Palm Beach to St. Louis via a few college visits…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Mar 13, 2023) PW: 235.5 CW: 237 SW: 240 Our son is visiting with 2 friends on their way down to Florida for Spring break so it was a heavy meal last night and I've got a big presentation today which I've been working on most of the weekend so high stress and sitting at my desk didn't help…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Mar 6, 2023) PW: 235.5 CW: 235.5 SW: 240 This feels like déjà vu, although at least it's not a gain (again)!

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Feb 27, 2023) PW: 235.9 CW: 235.5 SW: 240 Only a smidge of a drop but it's 2 weeks in a row so pleased to be starting a downward trend.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Feb 20, 2023) PW: 239 CW: 235.9 SW: 240 Last week's weight gain was an anomaly so I did expect a sizable drop but still, this was reassuring.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Feb 13, 2023) PW: 234.2 CW: 239 SW: 240 I really enjoyed the Progressive dinner on Saturday night and Super Bowl festivities …. A little too much I guess. I'm almost back to my starting weight (not good). Changes are needed.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Feb 6, 2023) PW: 232.9 CW: 234.2 SW: 240 No surprise on the weight gain - it all happened yesterday as we hosted my father in laws 90th birthday party for family and friends and it seems like most of the pot luck options were less than healthy. I did eat plenty of veggies and fruit but that…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Jan 16, 2023) PW: 232.4 CW: 233.1 SW: 240 I'm off for MLK day but will put in a few hours of work anyway but then plan to do something fun with Susan (and will get some extra steps in today).

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Jan 2, 2023) PW: 233 CW: 234.3 SW: 240 Starting off the year with a reasonable goal and plenty of energy. COVID sapped a lot out of me back in November but I think I've been using that as an excuse as I had a great workout yesterday and have my motivation back. Happy New Year everyone.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Dec 26, 2022) PW: 230.1 CW: 233 SW: 240 Yikes! I guess a little too much celebrating with family and friends the last 2 weeks. Oh well - this is why we have New Year's Eve resolutions right?

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Dec 19, 2022) PW: 227.3 CW: 230.1 SW: 240 Sorry to make you have to send out a reminder. It seems like I'm bouncing around a few pounds each week and can't regain a trend. The bottom line is I haven't been exercising enough since catching COVID about 10 days before Thanksgiving and that's…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Dec 12, 2022) PW: 228.8 CW: 227.3 SW: 240 Not so much a loss as an offset to last week but happy to see the reduction. The holiday parties have started and the kids we'll be coming home soon for Christmas so I need to stay on the nice list (eating-wise) for the next few weeks.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Dec 5, 2022) PW: 226.8 CW: 228.8 SW: 240 Apologies for being a day late - yesterday was a 14 hour workday and everything else fell off the to do list. Not a good week for weight loss but I'm at least a pound lighter today than yesterday so it seems some of this is a temporary blip. A brief…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Nov 28, 2022) PW: 226.8 CW: 226.8 SW: 240 No weight gain right after the Thanksgiving holiday? I'll take it as a win. The family is all past the worst of our 1st time with COVID although I still have this annoying cough from the constant drainage - otherwise, everyone seems to have recovered.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Nov 21, 2022) PW: 228.4 CW: 226.8 SW: 240 After 3 vaccinations and 2 boosters, COVID finally caught up with me this week (looks like I picked it up in Columbus, OH last week after visiting the kids), and then Susan, 2 days later, and then our youngest son (16) the day after that. After…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Nov 14, 2022) PW: 228.4 CW: 228.4 SW: 240 Fun weekend in Columbus, OH as we got to see our two kids up there and a Buckeyes win. Also were able to meet our other daughter in Indianapolis on the return drive back to St. Louis. Lots of celebrating so I'm surprised that I didn't gain wait - I…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Nov 7, 2022) PW: 228.4 CW: 229.1 SW: 240 It's been a heck of a week at work (a lot less steps and exercise) and maybe giving into a few left over trick or treat candy.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Oct 31, 2022) PW: 228.3 CW: 228.4 SW: 240 Just a up a smidge but we celebrated my birthday yesterday with a heavy meal and desert so no surprise. Now if I can just take it easy on the treats tonight.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Oct 25, 2022) PW: 229.3 CW: 228.3 SW: 240 Practicing my inner yo-yo I guess. Down 1 lb and then up 1 lb the next week and back down 1 lb again today.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Oct 17, 2022) PW: 228.3 CW: 229.3 SW: 240 Gahhh! I'm back to where I was on Oct 3rd. Sometimes I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel and not getting anywhere (and apparently not burning enough calories in the process). The temperature has been dropping (a lot!) and I've not been doing as much…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Oct 10, 2022) PW: 229.3 CW: 228.3 SW: 240 No out of town trips (to trip up my eating plans) and I behaved this weekend.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Oct 3, 2022) PW: 232.1 CW: 229.3 SW: 240 Sorry I'm late - I've been working my tail off for a big presentation yesterday (It went really well) and this is the first time I've been back on the personal PC since Saturday. This drop almost makes up for last week's increase (but not quite).

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Sep 26, 2022) PW: 228.9 CW: 232.1 SW: 240 The yo-yo results (from prior weeks) are due to being out of town over the weekend. Susan and I took the other kids up to the Ohio State - Wisconsin football game (to see their other brother & sister) so meals on the road, garbage food at the stadium…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Sep 19, 2022) PW: 229.5 CW: 228.9 SW: 240 Less than one pound each week but still a decline in back to back weeks and after many weeks of small increases, it's nice to see the trend reversing again.

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Sep 12, 2022) PW: 229.9 CW: 229.5 SW: 240 Low key weekend - Not too much time to watch football and baseball this weekend as we replaced some bushes and planted some new ones and started to clean out the basement storage section. My wife's parents are struggling to let go of things they…

JimBoden3 Weigh-in Day: Monday (Sep 5, 2022) PW: 229.8 CW: 229.9 SW: 240 Whew!!! I wasn't sure if I was going to squeak in under the 230 mark but it looks like all of the exercise and restraint paid off. Friday night was drinking and appetizers at a friends house for the Indiana - Illinois football and Cardinals baseball…
