Ginlee61 Friday weigh-in PW: 157.9 CW: 157.7 Slowing inching down, about 1.7 lbs over the past 4 weeks. I'll take it but, even better than the weight loss, I had my annual physical yesterday and my test results were great! My LDL and total cholesterol both dropped by another 19 points and my blood sugar level dropped by…

Ginlee61 Friday weigh-in PW: 157.1 CW: 156.9 A small loss despite eating restaurant food 3x during the week. This is my lowest weight since mid-July and I'm hoping this trend continues. I believe the app that I am now using to track my calories, macros/micros, and exercise is helping since the database is more accurate.…

GinLee61 Friday weigh-in PW: 157.5 CW: 157.1 Inching back down. This is my lowest weight since mid-July and I'm hoping this 3 week trend continues. Next week is both my birthday and my anniversary and I know I'll be eating out at least twice. I recently switched to a different app for tracking, one that tracks many, many…

@3tansunnee - Hi! When I eat away from home and don't feel comfortable tracking then and there, I take a picture of my plate with my phone so that I can more accurately log when I get back home. I still have to approximate the serving sizes but, like you said, we do the best we can.

Donated the last of the larger sized clothing that was still in my closet. Unfortunately it was all of the fall/winter clothing that I had left. Lots of empty hangers in there!

@cwolfman13 - this particular "ideal" weight was from a chart based on the Devine formula. There are a bunch of different formulas. I'm not saying I agree with it. I believe it's complete hogwash because it's based solely on gender and height.

I started at 230 lbs 21 months ago and now I weigh 157. I have been stuck within 2 lbs of this weight since May. Seems like once I dropped below 160 lbs my body started fighting hard to retain it's existing fat. I currently wear U.S. size 8 or 10, depending on style and brand. Based on my wrist size I am medium frame. Most…

@RubyRed427 You're so close, I know you will do it. I'll be here cheering you on!!

GinLee61 Friday weigh-in PW: 158.4 CW: 157.5 Back down this week. Will it still be down next Friday? It's a mystery. I'm getting pretty tired of going up and down the same pound or so. Have a great week!

@minstrelofsarcasm Thank you so much Ashley! I'm glad to be back.

Hi @minstrelofsarcasm and @melaniedscott ! Is it too late for me to jump back in from the support team effective this month? I meant to ask last week but forgot. If it's not too late my starting weight as of last Friday Sept 1 was 158.6. Not sure if you would use that or what my weight was when I moved over to the support…

Hi Everyone! Thanks to @RubyRed427 for continuing the challenge. I'm looking forward to doing a bit better than I did during the last round when I lost just under a pound. Ugh! 13 lbs to reach goal and it's getting more and more difficult to lose.

@RubyRed427 - That's awesome! You're rockin' it! And you're so close to onederland....

Welcome! As others have mentioned you can lose weight without exercising. I commend you on your effort. If you are able to lose a bit now you may find it a little easier to start moving once you have the go ahead to do so. Losing just 5% of my starting weight helped make it a little easier for me to get up on my feet when…

Spending a few days in Lake Placid with the grandsons this week. I've definitely been eating off plan but doing a lot of walking and still eating much less than I would have 2 years ago. Missing my normal aerobic workouts though. We took the gondola to the top of little Whiteface Mountain today. A little scary but the view…
