I hate tracking, but...
beginning today I *will* track everything I eat. For the past 2-3 weeks, I've noticed that I'm doing a lot of "grazing" and NOT tracking all those BLTs (bites, licks, tastes for those who don't know). And there's MY goal for this week.

Sunday (10/29/17) Weigh-In
Down 1.1 Not much but it's a start! SW 210 CW 147.2 GW 140

Habits are hard to break!
Those who have been with me during this "journey" (hate that term) may remember that I've been a daily weigher since reaching my goal weight in 2004. I did that so that I could "keep a grip" on things. I didn't let the daily fluctuations bother me as long as, overall, things were staying steady. I created a spreadsheet to…

Weigh-In Sunday (10/22)
SW (in 2002) 210 CW 148.3 GW 140 Today is my latest "starting over" point. My weigh-in days have always been on Wednesday, but I'm going to use Sunday as my new weigh-in day. And, until I'm back to my goal weight, I will ONLY weigh on Sundays. I've been a daily weigher since reaching my goal in 2004, but now the daily…

FAO: 88OLDS
I've been thinking about you! Any idea when you'll get back to Key West? Simone Mullis, who lives in Marathon, was "broadcasting" live on FB until she lost cell phone coverage. She and her SO decided to hunker down and weather the storm. I'm not sure they weren't regretting that decision before it was all over. But she…

Substitutions -- Yes or No?
I've always said that I wasn't willing to give up anything to lose weight that I wasn't willing to give up forever. I think you can, after all, sometimes teach a new dog new tricks. Here are some of the things I've found I'm willing to SUBSTITUTE. To me, this is different than giving something up. Butter -- I have never…

Just checking in!
I'm still around! Still hanging in there and doing the best I can. To say that it's been a long summer so far is putting it mildly.

I'm back!
It's been a while since I checked in here. Have had a lot going on over the past three weeks or so -- including a trip to visit my son for a week or so. I didn't even open my laptop bag while I was there and I must say it was pretty nice! I don't use the MFP app on my phone -- only use it via my laptop. Have also dealt…

SUNDAY 4/30/17 -- Sunday Weighers
Up 0.7 this week and not at all surprised (and happy it wasn't more). 145.4/141.6/140 I ate a lot of meals away from home beginning Friday night and running through this morning. I was volunteering at a charity fishing tournament at the beach this weekend so pretty much just grabbing something to eat when I had time. But…

4/23/17 ~ Sunday Weighers
How did you do this week? Down 2.5 145.4/140.9/140 Almost down enough to drop that goal number down by another 5 pounds -- hopefully next week!

Stupid question time :)
So, even though I did the whole weighing/measuring thing for YEARS with WW, until three weeks ago I had not done it in years. Here's my question (which I should know the answer to!) I always grate my own cheese; but can't remember whether 1 oz of grated cheese is the weight AFTER the cheese is grated or is it a one-ounce…

Sharing from the GOAD Facebook Page
Thanks for sharing Paul McClelland! But, in my case, I would use the money to buy dark chocolate of some kind.

ROLL CALL ~ Friday, 4/21/17
Many of us feel the need to remain connected by just signing in on a daily basis. We may have a lot to say or very little. We may say smart things, or dumb things. It doesn't matter if we're having a good day, a bad day...or something in between. We'll post our thoughts, our successes, our challenges, our insights (or lack…

MFP Food Database -- Something I've figured out
I have found that the MFP food database is MUCH better than the one that was in the WW online program. I have found NO foods (so far) that aren't in the database. Sometimes even the brand I'm using is there. If no, then I add it. And *if* my brand is there I verify that the calorie information is correct. I haven't found…

4/16//17 -- Sunday Weighers
Down 2 this week. If I was calculating from my doctor's appointment on 4/7, it's 5.6. But, since a) I was completely clothed at that weigh-in and I weigh au natural at home, and b) the appointment was in the afternoon and I weigh first thing in the morning at home I'll take the 2. :) 145.4/143.4/140

Question re: daily calories
Is there any way to change your daily calorie allocation? Mine is currently set to 1200 and I'm almost never hitting it so I get a message saying that I'm not eating enough <sigh>. As most of you know, I pretty much still follow the Core (aka Simply Filling) plan. So a lot of the things I eat aren't high-calorie -- at…

It's time to get serious!
I'm posting this as a reminder to ME. So I had a doctor's appointment yesterday for follow-up of my BP. Everytime I go see him my BP is through the roof even though it's almost always normal when I take it at home. So the beginning of March, we decided that I would take my BP at home in the morning (before coffee) and in…

Those of you who were on the "old" WW GoaD board will get why I found this so funny this morning.

SUNDAY WEIGH-IN (2/26/17)

Had a birthday dinner earlier in the week and then out to dinner with friends visiting from out of town last night. Start/Current/Goal 146.6/142.8/135 How did the other Sunday weighers do?
