  • Good morning everyone! I haven't checked in for awhile. Hope everyone is well. Can you believe that tomorrow is February already? I have reached and surpassed my goal weight. I still weigh in on Wednesday. I am maintaining my weight within a pound up or down. Not much has changed food wise. I occasionally add an extra…
  • Hello dear losers! Always good to read everyone's updates. I maxed out calories celebrating our anniversay and Thanksgiving. I forgave myself and resumed my rational eating and exercise the day after Tday. When I weighed in yesterday I was down 1#. My challenge is to maintain my weight up or down one pound. So far so good.…
  • Good morning! My 1st week of maintenance went well. I didn't count calories. I added a few items to my meals very carefully. I weighed in this morning and I was down 1#. I was pleased with that outcome. So now on to week 2 which includes our anniversary and Thanksgiving. I feel confident that I can do it! We can all do it!…
  • Good morning, Weigh-In Wednesday for me. Down 2.2#. Hit my goal weight!! I haven't seen this weight since college which was a very long time ago. I plan to continue on to lose a few more # and then maintain. I'm trying to imagine what it will feel like to 'not have to lose weight'. That will be something new for me. A…
  • Good morning everyone, Missed checking in last week because we were driving xcountry. We packed our food in a cooler so we weren't tempted to eat in a restaurant in order to avoid people and eat healthy. Today was weigh-in Wednesday and I was down 1.5#. Only 2.3# left to reach my goal weight. Maybe I'll be there by the end…
  • Good morning! Weigh-in Wednesday: No change. That's ok since I've been increasing my calories as I get closer to maintenance. I look forward to checking in every Wednesday. I won't be checking in next week as I will be travelling. However, I will be back the following week. I hope everyone is doing well and experiencing…
  • Good morning my slimming friends! Weigh in Wednesday for me: down 3#. Just a couple more pounds to my goal weight. Then on to the challenge of maintenance. I believe intermittant fasting, counting calories, walking and trampoline workouts have been my secret weapons. I feel so good. I think I'm dealing with a some body…
  • Good morning, I'm up .6#. Apparently my body didn't know today was weigh-in day and it was supposed to go down not up! I did get calorie sloppy a few days and it shows. I'm so close to my goal so I plan to keep going. I read through all the posts since last week. We are all doing great even with a little gain here and…
  • Good Morning! 1.6# down at weekly weigh-in this morning. I'm coming down the home stretch. Everyone is looking like they are making progress. Shout out to Greg::::congratulations for reaching your goal weight. Perhaps we should book a group trip to Budapest? Have you made a plan to maintain your weight?

  • Good morning. I've consistently stayed within calorie range and walking this past week. Down .8 pounds which placed me into a new decade range. I am getting close to my goal weight. Non-scale victory: Bought jeans in a size smaller this week. I am no longer overweight according to the BMI god. Hoping the best for everyone.

  • Hello Everyone! Wonderful surprise to check in this morning and see all the posts. We truly are all on the same journey no matter our age or where we live. Wednesday is my weigh-in day and I am down 1#. Next week I could be in a new weight decade. When there is an under 1# loss, I remind myself that even if 1/2# was lost…
  • Good morning, I did a very sloppy job of barely staying on track this weekend. It has been raining every day since Friday. Thunder storms and heavy rain is predicted for the next 5 days. I miss the sun! I got out my art supplies and plan to do something creative. I've come too far to not keep going to the finish line which…
  • Good morning everyone. Wednesday weigh-in day: -1.1# I have been consistent with my calorie limit and walking and it showed by the scale results this morning. Looking forward to another week of healthy eating and walking. Good thoughts and weight loss to everyone who is on the September journey together.

  • Good morning, Still on track which means for me, eating at or under 1260 calories and one hour of walking or 30 minutes on the rebounder (trampoline). I was recently reminded that for me, 1260 calories is my limit NOT my target. In other words I don't have to eat 1260 calories if I am not hungry. Personally, I won't starve…
  • I will be joining the September challenge. I'm coming down the home stretch to goal! September Start Weight: 152.4 # September Goal Weight: 148.4 # Ultimate Goal Weight: 145.0 # September 1: 152.4 September 6: September 13: September 20: September 27: September 30:
  • Good morning, here it is the start of another month. There is 4.2# less of me than on 8/1. I'm coming down the home stretch. I am going to stay on track for the month of September. Who wants to join me? Beverly: down 2.4# in one week is wonderful. Good for you! Being consistent (even when the motivation wanes) wins the…
  • Hello my lovely friends, Weigh-In Wednesday: = up .6#. I expected that after food poisoning influenced abnormal loss last week. I have walked 1 hour for 7 days in a row! It's been cooler than normal and definitely feels like fall not summer. It's my challenge to keep the walks going and of course keep the calories on…
  • Welcome Daria! I am also a senior! You found good company with this group. I now have 28 consecutive days under my calorie limit. I also walk 1 hour every day. (unless there is lightning and thunder) The weight is coming off as long as I am consistent with eating and exercise. It takes a little longer because post…
  • Hello everyone, I'm still on track. Got up and out early this morning to get a one hour walk done before it rained. Beverly: A few pounds gain considering you were travelling for 6+weeks. I'd say that is awesome! You will have that off in no time. Sweetheart: Good that you started walking. I seem to sleep better on the…
  • Sarah - yes, 2.8 in one week. However, I had very serious alergy related food poisoning on Monday night. I'm sure you know what happens with that event. It was a loss but I expect a gain next week when my body regains hydration etc.
  • Wednesday is my weigh-in day. Down 2.8#. On track. I like to plan and log my food into MFP. That seems to help me monitor what I'm eating. I remember years ago our WW Leader would always say: "If you bite, write it". Still rings true today. Sweetheart: I think most overeaters deal with depression. That's our go-to for…
  • On track yesterday! Yes, let's just not quick until we complete our goal.
  • Hi Greg! we're still here! Hi Sarah! We often hear that last 10# is the most difficult to remove. That is a common rumour. It's never been scientifically proven. People just give up because they get burned out and are so close to their goal. Let's stick together and get it done!
  • Good morning! 21 consecutive days of staying within my calorie goal. I've been saying the mantra: What if I didn't quit? Sarah, I too use distraction when I want to eat and I'm not really hungry or need food. I mess in the garden, clean a sink, crochet etc. Within 15 minutes sanity has returned and I no longer have the…
  • Yesterday: Stayed within calorie allowance and walked for 1hr+. Walked for 1+hour today before the rain begins again. Food is logged and planned for today. Planning grilled tuna and vegetables for dinner. One of my favorite dinners. VRT: Glad you have committed to 3 weeks. It takes a few days to create your new healthy…
  • Good morning! Weighed in yesterday. Down 1#. I had already walked an hour by 8 a.m. this morning. Glad I don't know what those Crumbl cookies are! At 600 calories a cookie they must be awesome! Always nice to check in and see my fitness pals working towards the same goal. Welcome to VRTC1960.
