I just want to say that I appreciate the kind remarks and that I AM doing well -- I'm even going back to work in a couple of weeks (I am a college professor at a community college, and they MISSED me! My colleagues and my students! I really thought I was done, but now I'm getting energized to get back to it!) THAT'S the…

I really don't know if the information I am going to share will contribute to this group -- I'll be honest and tell you that I've only read the last few posts here. But, this is my story. I have never been alcohol dependent, but I did enjoy a glass or two of wine nightly, and of course, socially I would have gin and tonics…

I seem to keep starting the month in the middle of the month! I am motivated to lose some pounds before Christmas! I have been stable, and I'm not complaining, but here we go! Goal: 132 (or below!) by Christmas.... 10 Dec - 136.5 (up a couple from before Thanksgiving -- it happens!)

SW (this time! : 138.2 My first goal is to get to 128! (10 lbs) Target longterm goal is between 120 and 125... 16 Nov: 138.2 17 Nov: 138.2 (no change! Maybe tomorrow! I didn't sleep well last night, and I find that makes a real difference.) 18 Nov: 137.5 It is lower, and I will gladly take it. 19 Nov: 136.9 Progress! 20…

@davemcv6730 WOW! You've lost almost 10 lbs just this month, and 40 in three months! This is fantastic and impressive!

@solieco1 Truth! :smiley:

I think I may have been on here a few years (!!) ago -- I am currently 63 yrs. and I have, as many have said, spent most of my life trying to lose weight. After college I was 196 -- did Nutrisystem and lost 20 lbs. on that. Moved and met someone who was a Weight Watcher member, and she got me involved in that -- I met…

Not my first time through this -- but instead of feeling stymied, I know I can do it again because I've done it before. I am happy to have lost and maintained what I was able to -- but the struggle continues! I feel better at a lower weight, and that means everything! SW (this time! : 138.2 My first goal is to get to 128!…

@amyr271 -- Me too! I am jumping in mid month hoping this keeps me thinking about my most important goal right now -- to lose the 10 lbs. I've added this past year! (I know...2020...) but if it's really the most important thing to me then I need to make the choices every day that reinforces that, right? I lost 30 pounds in…

Oh, and one more point. Since I announced I was retiring, the stock market has plummeted. It's my fault. Now you know.

I am sorry (yet again!) to be late in joining in... CW: 133.8 I am very happy with that number... but it has not been easy! A little to "catch up" -- I have announced that I am retiring at work -- and the outpouring of love has been amazing. I should have done this before! LOL! I am looking forward to the future -- and to…

Only one day late this week! Wish it was better news (it's not because I'm not trying....it seems like my body LIKES this extra 10 lbs....) 134.2 for this week. I'm looking for 133 by next week.... I'm taking it one day and one pound at a time. @jugar -- I think you will appreciate this -- my husband and I met with our…

PW: 136.0 Last week -- MIA -- SORRY! CW: 135.2 Not a lot to report...last week was just another crazy week -- but I didn't want to not show up again -- so I'm sorry that I don't have MORE to report as a loss, but a loss is a loss -- so there it is. Determined as ever to get back to the 120's -- February is so difficult…

PW: 137.0 CW: 136.0 I'm here and I've got a whole pound loss to report! LOL! Considering there was ANOTHER birthday party for my hubbie on Saturday (a "joint" one this time for him and a good friend), and the Superbowl Party, and a ridiculously busy week so far at work. I'm thinking of retiring, and yet, they keep putting…

Hi everyone -- I don't have much time this morning, but I'll try to "update" more this evening -it's been a wonderful week -- celebrating hubbie's b-day this past Saturday (even last night, went out to dinner with my sister and niece to celebrate!) BUT it's not pretty. I'm giving you the last time I had the courage to…

PW: 135.1 CW: 134.7 Sorry guys -- not much to crow about this week -- but it's a loss, and I'll take it! Love the 5 random things -- I really am trying to think of interesting things -- but I'll go with the things that come to mind first... 1. We always have "rescued" dogs -- and currently we are on our 4th one -- we…

PW: 137.0 CW: 135.1 So what went up is coming down... constant struggle (so many friends baking cakes right now and sharing them! I think it's the winter blues....) but there you go -- I had a doctor's appt. on Friday -- late afternoon, full dressed -- weighed in at 138. When I guffawed and said "that has to change!" to…

There is a front wall at my yoga studio that everyone can write on -- it's hysterical really -- and gives a good spot for "drishti" (focus) as you're holding a pose...always something new to read and be inspired by or chuckle at. Today, way up high, someone had written UPSIDE DOWN "Hello, beautiful" -- when you "flip your…

Hi again! Look at me posting two days in a row! I go back to work this week, so I don't know if this will be a habit. I'll do my best -- I love reading everyone's posts. @jugar -- I was in avoidance all during the holidays and did not weigh in -- I didn't want to know! We had a house guests and eggnog on tap! Sometimes…

Hey all! I am a missing member -- and I do apologize (as always) for that --life gets so crazy, and I'm not a faithful blogger/poster -- it's the last thing I think of at night as I drift off.... so I'm here to tell you I'm still alive (whew!) and that I'm still doing side planks and all kinds of crazy yoga stuff (crow,…

Hey there! How crazy busy IS everyone? PW: 134.7 CW: 133.5 -- I know -- but I'll take it! I've been eating here there and everywhere this past week -- but mindfully trying to keep the sugar and white flour stuff WAY down... Christmas Eve is looming and that is our traditional cookie-making night -- we bake and frost and…

PW: 135.0 CW: 134.7 OK -- funny story! The day after I "came back" from MIA, and the day after I posted that 135.0, I weighed in (I know I know --never weigh in daily, but right now it's motivating me...) and I was 135.7! WHAT? So, even though it's just a little loss on the record, that 134.7 is a whole pound in just a…

Hey everyone!! @jugar -- thanks for all the messages! I am so so so sorry I have been MIA -- but it's all been good -- work is insane (end of semester) and family time is everything! Except for the pounds. But hey -- life is about the challenges, right? SO... here we go again! For a quick intro (even though it's now almost…

I am a day (or two!) late again ... it's the CRUNCH time of the semester -- we (me and my students) are finished the week after Thanksgiving, and the boy and his girlfriend are coming home for Thanksgiving (YAY!) and we have (ahem!) been using "his" room as our "crap" room (doesn't everyone have one of those???) so in…

CW: 130.5 Hey there -- so so so sorry I missed last week -- didn't log on to MFP at all! I'm conferencing with students, and there was a quick trip to Brooklyn to see the son -- and hung out with some friends who were there too! I'll be better this week! Hope everyone is warm - -it's fricking cold here today! LOL! Great…

PW: 129.7 CW: 128.7 OK --- so this was an amazing week weight wise, and I do feel like I'm cheating a bit -- I am one day late (so one extra day in there, except maybe I was a day late last week too? It is hard to keep track there's been so much going on...) Anyway, in the "what goes up goes up faster than it comes back…

PW: 130.1 CW: 129.7 I'm back in the 120's...but just barely! This is hard stuff. Worth it though. Worth every .1 pound that I can get off. :smile: Sorry I've been missing AGAIN -- but I would like to change to Wednesday weigh in @jugar so move me -- then today, I'd only be one day late!!
