I haven’t made any progress losing weight yet this year. I am still trying to get below my lowest recent weight. Also I have lost ground as to the length of my walks since during the holidays our walks weren’t regular but we did walk and we did go to Aquafit. So that now I have only been able to walk our minimum walk last…

I decided that a schedule for the year would help me. I feel that 4-5 lbs a month is a healthy weight loss goal in general. Weight loss Goal Schedule: January - Low 240s February - High 230s March - Mid 230s April - Low 230s May - High 220s June - Low 220s July - High 210s (220 is the weight I got to during the Pandemic.…

Went down a small bit again today to keep after the Christmas lbs. Most of the leftovers are meats and cheeses now but still have some pecan pie and the goodies sent to us in the house. We went to aquafit yesterday, a walk the day before and plan a walk today. What has helped is a chicken soup I made since N was sick…

Well I turned the corner down just a bit weight wise but I need to watch out for the goodies sent to us. The ones we make are almost gone. I have most of a pecan pie though. It is a chess pie with pecans, coconut and raisins so their is some good nutrition mixed in with the sugar and it also has eggs and no corn syrup.…

@jenbroussard71 I had always straight hair. It is fine but full in that I had a lot of hair. When I turned grey my hair got more curly. It is either wavy or soft curls. My Dad had curly hair and I've heard that curly hair can often be fine. I decided that if I dyed my hair it would have to be my favorite color (red). I…

@rorymason Nice progress. @mmatcha_latte Nice progress for you too. When we went to France last year I couldn’t walk as long as I wanted to but the travel helped. I lost weight even eating all that French food. Happy Boxing day, Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah and holidays! Well I lost the weight gain for my husband’s…

Make sure you are not eating too much fish (tuna, salmon, other fish). 2 servings a week is considered safe but more will be too much mercury. My niece was eating too much and her hair started to fall out. Her grandmother (my Mom) told her she was eating too much tuna. She was living in Africa and was pescatarian and…

I finally got down to close to my low from earlier in the month today after going up after birthday celebrations for my husband. I had a good day yesterday making a healthy meal and taking a walk. Tomorrow is our anniversary so hopefully I won't go up again. I find that if you go to better restaurants the food is healthier…

I did lose this morning but wasn’t going to post since I am just losing what I gained over the birthday weekend. I thought that was just going to be 1 night out and a breakfast after Aquafit. But then my youngest took us out to a great breakfast place Saturday morning too for their Dad’s birthday. His birthday dinner was…

After that I want to reach. 220 which is what I weighed after the economic downturn when I was out of work and concentrated on losing before going to work…

Today I made another step toward my goal of being able to walk around Greenlake and more importantly improving my stamina. I walked just under a mile and then back with no rests and I did it in close to half the time I did on Tuesday. Tuesday I walked just over a mile and rested for an hour then walked back. I think I was…

I met my goal today of walking to the nearest cafe (1.1 miles) and having breakfast and walking back. I have walked there with N last week. but only walked a few blocks back before getting a ride home the rest of the way. So I am up to 2.2 mile walk but with a rest in between. Greenlake is 2.8 miles. There are places I can…

Friday I took a long walk but not longer than the ones earlier in the week. Saturday is my rest day. Sunday we couldn't go to Aquafit since we had to give my sister-in-law to the airport but since my husband had today off we went this morning. I did get some walking in later on Sunday. I plan to have a long walk tomorrow.

Yesterday N and I went for an even longer walk. We walked to the nearest cafe and I walked partly back. It is over a mile away. I used my walking sticks again and that is going well. I have been eating lower calories now that I am back to my usual schedule. I made mushroom/lamb stroganoff last night with green beans and my…

@RavenStCloud Thank you @CupcakeCrusoe I think I may post on this thread this month more like you to track my exercise. @nebslp I love your solution of sweeping the deck daily to get outside. I need more NEAT so something like this would be good for me. Maybe beating my husband from racking the leaves from our big red…

@jenbroussard71 The one time I lost more weight here I had a long plateau after losing 20 lbs. I did everything I could think of. The problem was I was exercising more and I wasn’t adjusting my TDEE for that. I wasn’t eating enough. I upped my calories to maintenance and started to lose. I took a 2 week rest at maintenance…
