leni1us PW: 151.0 CW: 150.0 1 pound lost. I'm happy after spending a week in Jamaica, I was expecting to stay the same or gain a bit. I didn't drink a lot of water while there but we did walk a lot and I tried make good food choices. Glad to see some movement in the "down" direction.

@leni1us enjoy your vacation! Are you going anywhere fun? @lauren_989 We're heading to Jamaica tomorrow. My husband found several close relatives he has there through Ancestry.com. He is 67 and never knew he had any connection to Jamaica. So, it's a vacation and a "meet and greet". I'm excited for him. :) We'll see how…

@lauren_989 I'm going to need a pass for this weeks Friday weigh-in (12/6). I'll be on vacation from this Wednesday to next Tuesday. I'll weigh in as usual on Friday the 13th (wasn't that a movie?). Thanks.

Hello everyone. My name is Lennie, I’m 5’2”, 65 years old and I live in California. I'm retired with my husband and an 12-year-old Boxer.

leni1us PW: 149.8 CW: 151.0 This was a bit expected the day after Thanksgiving. Sorry, I've not been as active on the thread as I would have like. A lot going on with family right now. December is right around the corner. Time for a fresh start.

leni1us PW 151.4 CW 150.2 Slow and steady wins the race. I made it to my HIIT class 3x this week, and I did a fair job of watching my portions.

This is definitely a journey that has it's ups and downs. I still have a ways to go but all I can do is put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. Today was a rough one, I went out to dinner with friends to an Italian restaurant. I'm a sucker for a good lasagna. Although, I did split it with a friend (it…

leni1us PW 154.2 CW 151.4 Happy Friday all. I'm happy with my first week. I know a lot of water drops off your first week. The challenge will be continuing to eat healthy, get my steps in and drink my water. I stopped eating junk and toned down the alcohol (we love wine). My goal this past week was to get my water in.…

What a great way to stay on track and motivate one another.

I'm going to have to sit out January and February. I can't seem to get it together and post my weight in a timely manner. Alot is going on medically right now with my 96 year old dad AND my husband. I would like to still be part of the team but I'll plan to come back in March. I will still jump on when I can. Sorry team.

leni1us Friday PW: 164.9 CW: 164.0 I'm so sorry I'm late with my weigh in. This week just flew by. I had to take my dad to the VA to pick up his repaired hearing aids on Monday and because I waited until the last minute to Christmas shop, the rest of my days have been pretty busy. Hopefully, things will mellow out after…

leni1us Friday PW: 165.9 CW: 164.9 This has been a very busy week. I'm just getting home from another holiday party. Between the parties, dinner events and gift shopping, eating right has not been top of mind. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed actually. I waited until the last minute to get gifts.

leni1us Friday PW: 167.1 CW: 165.9 Sorry, I'm a day late. I forgot to weigh yesterday morning so I weighed today. December will be a challenge....with holiday parties' (I have to attend one tonight and one on 12/23), birthday parties' (I attend one on 12/17) and of course the holidays in general. This month will take some…

Thanks @jugar! PW 164.0 CW 167.1 Well, the Thanksgiving holiday and subsequent vacation have wrecked havoc on my calorie intake. I'm not surprised at the number but I'm hoping quite a bit of it is water retention. We shall see. This week I'm uber focused on what goes in my mouth and a bottle of water goes with me…

So sorry. I thought I had sent a post saying we're were gonna be outta town for the Thanksgiving holidays and I'd like a pass on last Friday. I get back today and I don't see that post anywhere. I plan to weight in tomorrow (Friday is my usual weigh day). I hope that's okay.

leni1us Friday PW 164.4 CW 164.0

@jugar, thanks for that. Slow IS OK. This whole journey can be so discouraging sometimes because I know what to do but sometimes I make the choice to do it (or have it) anyway.

leni1us Friday PW 164.8 CW 164.4 If this journey went any slower, I wouldn't be moving at all. I know what I need to do, it's just finding the motivation to do it. One day everything will be on point - eating right, drinking water, walking for 30 minutes a day only to follow it up a day or two later with going out to…

leni1us Friday PW 165.6 CW 164.8 So sorry for the lateness. I weighed first thing Friday morning but never jumped on the computer to log it. It's not been a great week, not much exercise or water. Gotta do better.

leni1us Friday PW 165.8 CW 165.6 Not much movement but I'll take it. I ate out with friends 3 times this week and my choices weren't the best but they were small in size. It was mostly appetizers and lots of water. Let's see what this week brings.

leni1us Friday PW: 167.3 CW: 165.8 I focused more on moving and eating healthy this week but did not do so great with the water. I'm heading to dinner tomorrow with a friend of mine that is here from Canada. I just hope I can stay in control. When you start talking and munching, it's easy to lose track of what's going in…
