charlottemilton Sunday Week 3 PW 229.5 CW 230 I know my eating is to blame for being up. We celebrated hubby's birthday yesterday but truly I wasn't good much of the week. Busy week and I didn't manage to log everything and ate too much sugar.

@snickercharlie Thank you for your reply. I did end up eating much later than normal and probably ate too much sodium but salt tasted so good--actually stopped my stomach and other muscle cramps. I also really exceeded my normal water intake by about a gallon before bed. I am still thirsty today so although not drinking as…

@destiny_sierra Congratulations on the loss! @mari_moulin Love your accountability and honesty to yourself with your daily lists. I do well with lists, so my copy it with your permission although I am not sure I would post for all to see. @cesse47 Great loss! You are doing wonderfully! @FormerlyFit48 A loss is a loss. The…

charlottemilton Sunday Week 4? PW 236 CW 238.5

charlottemilton Sunday PW 236 CW 236 I have been eating poorly this last week, even to the point of multiple milkshakes from DQ along with lunches. Had to be on the road and I am a sucker for DQ chocolate chip shakes and can't get one locally. Weight staying the same shows I wasn't very careful. The way I feel also shows I…

charlottemilton I am overdue. Sunday PW 239.5 CW 236 (From last Sunday) Just busy. Contemplating a major real estate purchase and trying to get our ducks in a row with money, equipment, supplies, etc. I have to get a budget together in the next week or so to determine if the numbers all line up before we make an offer.…

Late check in. I was out of range of wifi and internet yesterday. charlottemilton Sunday PW 139.5 CW 139.5 I have been so bad this week I am surprised I didn't gain.

charlottemilton Week 5 PW 242.5 CW 239.5 Cabin fever. Think we are going for a drive down to Graneda Lake. Today will likely mean not eating as healthy as most days. Will take fruit and veggies with us but we'll likely stop for fast food.

April Shower II Challenge: Please answer question at the end. Make your snack labor intensive. Something hard to peel, long to cut and prepare, pre-frozen to be prepared one at a time. What do you do to slow down the snack attack? 1. Went to bee hives in the yard. 2. Took apart the one that swarmed last week in preparation…

Just checking in. Feeling a bit blah today and not getting anything accomplished. Need to empty the back bathroom and linen closets today as well as paint a hive as I have a new nuc full of Russian Bees arriving on Saturday morning. I need to do some shopping too as I need sugar to feed the bees for the first week or so…

charlottemilton Week 3 (seems like it should be week 2 since it is the 12th but oh well) PW 248 CW 244.5 Happy Easter everyone! He is risen! Seems my weight loss has steadied out a bit if I calculate over a 2 week interval at about 1.5 lbs a week. I can live with that right now. Finished the painting in my sewing room AND…

Hi srusso2022 I am 5' 4" and 247.5 lbs. About a month ago I got a scare from my doctor and the only possible cure is losing significant weight. His nurse emailed me a list of foods I should and shouldn't eat with my immediate diagnosis which is severe gastritis. One of the points stressed to me was the need to eat at least…

I'm in. I started before we went on lock down so actually have lots of vegies and chicken in the house. My goal is to lose at least 36 lbs by June and I am a bit more than halfway there according to the scale. Exercise currently is painting the room from hell. Covering dark paint to try to get to WHITE and lots of…

@mariekenji I was thinking of doing that. My sewing room is currently undergoing renovation and I don't know where anything is located. Just finished the first coat of primer (it is going to take at least 2 coats going from a medium blue to white,) and then probably 2 top coats. Covers in one coat is a myth. @One_Eye_Blind…

@PAV8888 I changed to lightly active 3 weeks ago. The kids are home with their mother as schools have closed and I don't know if I will have them again this year unless schools reopen. We are now on "safer at home" orders or something like that terminology. Basically, it means no going out except for necessities. My…

@AnnPT77 Thank you for your input. I have increased my calories and am still losing about 2 pounds a week or a bit more. There are days I don't eat to my higher limit but there are days I do and I am ok with that. Part of my issue with eating is timing my medications along with food. I have 2 that can't be taken within 2…

@lindamtuck2018 Thank you! I'll skip weighing in the morning because it is likely to be up. My husband kidnapped me for a picnic at the State Park about an hour away for us time away from other people. Park was beautiful and almost empty. We saw a total of 3 people use the restrooms between cleanings and sanitizing by the…

Oops. With everyone home this week I messed up. My check in is tomorrow.

charlottemilton Last week 254.5 Current 252 Didn't finish painting the sewing room but got started. Never would have guessed there was a run on primer paint. We found some after 3 stores. Built in shelves complicate painting a lot. So do old windows. Almost finished priming. Changing to lightly active hasn't stopped my…

I am 5' 4" and need to lose more than 100 lbs more. So far down 12.5 lbs. I am also looking for friends for motivation.

charlottemilton week 3 Sunday check-in Previous weight 255 lbs Current weight 254.5 lbs After a couple of weeks of big losses for me only 1/2 lb this week. I still have a swollen knee from my fall last week. Even so, I was more active chasing a toddler and carrying a baby. We are in remodel mode this week and staying in.…

@AnnPT77 My current weight is 255 and I am 5'4". My goal is set to 2 lbs a week but I think that is reasonable as heavy as I am. I was recently diagnosed with gastritis and non alcoholic fatty liver. Both of these require dietary changes if I am to improve, so my doctor has given me a set of guidelines which can work with…

Thanks everyone for your input. I have changed to lightly active for now and will see what happens. I was ravenous today and I am generally not very hungry.

SW: 266 lbs 1st GW: 230 lbs Final Gw: 140 lbs CW: 255 lb (11 lbs lost) Mar 1: 259.5 Mar 8: 255 Mar 15: Mar 22: Mar 29: Just checking in. Painting and prepping to paint more today.

charlottemilton week 2 Previous weight 259.5 lbs Current weight 255 lbs @UTMom81 Thank you! It does help. I tripped at my daughter's house last night on a brick sticking up from the grass that I didn't see. I expected to be up from all the bruising and swollen knee and hand but surprisingly wasn't (fell onto a concrete…

Hi everyone. Help! This is my first month and I have a question. Is there an easy way to find this message thread? I will need to post my stats tomorrow and don't know if I'll find my way back here.
