Dec.3- 236.3 (ave. 236.2) Jan. 1- 233.4 (ave. 234) Feb. 1 - 231.0 (ave. 230.6) Feb. goal - 226 2025 goal - 199 Hi! and Happy February!! I'm so glad to be here, and I want to thank @RavenStCloud for getting this up and running again. I'm feeling very focused and am excited about all the good things that could happen this…

The scale is starting to go down after that crazy 7 pound gain in one week. My feet are skinny again after being super swollen for about three days. I was getting worried. I've lost 3 and 1/2 of that gain but have a ways to go to get rid of the high sugar intake effects. I have learned my lesson! I will take pictures of my…

My scale is acting up so I could blame it for my backslide, but I won't. My feet have been swollen for 2 days now so I know that's contributed to the (as of today) 7 pounds in a week gain. I never used to have that problem...ever! It's happened a few times in the past year after mega amounts of sugar so I'm just going to…

Hi! I'm feeling defeated this week. The tons of goodies we got over the weekend did a number on me. My husband decided to bring ice cream into the house again and that was another major battle...in which I was not the winner. I am back at my highest pandemic weight, 5-6 pounds up this week. Sugar is my biggest enemy other…

Well, I made it through Christmas pretty well unscathed, but then on Saturday we met with my in-laws and got a huge yummy bag of goodies. Got home and there was a box - yes, a box! - full of breads, sauce for the bread, and candies. UGH! So good, but so bad!! I spend most of my days in my sewing/office/workout room aka my…

Hello 2025! I'm really excited to be starting a new year. I am hopeful that all of the mental/emotional work I've done over the past year has led me to a place where I'll be able to move ahead physically this year. I've consistently been stuck in the 222-235ish range for decades but I think this is the year it will change.…

🥳 Happy New Year 🎆 I am excited about starting a fresh calendar later today! Wishing you all all the best in 2025!!!

Happy December! I'm getting a late start. I had lots of fun company over the weekend and took yesterday off to recover! It was not good foodwise and I gained a few pounds but that should go away this week and I will start working my way back down. All but my Texas kids/grands come for the holidays and we have a ridiculous…

@lisakatz2 That is amazing!!! You're living proof that consistent hard work is the answer to meeting goals. I think if you keep working out, the measurements will change over time so just enjoy how good it feels to be where you are right now. Congrats on your progress:)

It's 8:15 PM and I'm finally getting around to doing my computer work. I had an early lunch with a friend and we chatted for 2 hours. Then some shopping and when I got home my son was here visiting so that was a surprise treat. My son-in-law is a college asst. coach from Texas and his first game was on ESPN+ at 5 so I had…

I decided to make checking in here part of my daily computer routine...read the news, check emails, do a French lesson and now ... myfitness pal. It all takes about an hour especially on those really hard French days. Today I got a 64%! Getting 100% seems to be a part of the past! So far today I've checked off 4 boxes.…
