LW: 134.2 TW: 134 It sure takes me a lot longer to reduce than it takes to increase in weight, argh. Can't be on long with Family Zoom coming up, but wanted to get the new thread started. I hope everyone is well. Lois, I'm sending your hubby healing thoughts for his back. You cannot miss Disney!! Take care, and at night if…

May 17 - May 23
LW: 133.6 TW: 133.4 It's feeling like a struggle for every 10th of a pound. I'm aiming to get into the 120's by my annual check-up in October, which I had considered a pretty easy goal. Now, I'm beginning to wonder if I can do it. And, I'm at a loss as to how to go about it. I read a scientific study (based on the 30 year…

March 22 - March 28
LW: 134.2 TW: 133.8 I'm happy with that reduction . . not a lot, but I felt more focused. I hope to keep that going despite traveling later this week. Sarah, I experience more cravings and hunger when I'm tired. I think our bodies try to get more energy that way. Do you have another comfortable bed or sofa where you could…

Mar 1 - Mar 7
LW: 134.4 TW: 134.4 I'm so glad weigh in is today and not yesterday. After traveling Monday, I was up to 136 . . but, now that my fluid levels are more normal I'm back to last week. I'll take that especially in light of the daily complimentary croissants, wine, cheese, etc at the hotel! I did partake, but tried to limit…

Feb 22 - Feb 28
LW: 134.8 TW: 134.4 Okay, at last a downward number. But, of course, now I'm headed to Cali tomorrow until Monday. We're flying down for the turning 5 years old birthday celebration for our grandson :) Because their house is still being remodeled and their rental house has no guest room, we booked a really cute hotel in…

Feb 1 - Feb 7
LW: 134.2 TW: 133.8 Well, down a little. I've closed all my rings for a week or more, and the butt challenge is almost done. I started later so there's a couple of days left. I'll be glad when it's done, but it does seem to have made my legs stronger and my butt rounder :D Sarah, my knees get sore but nothing that…

Dec 28 - Jan 3
LW: 133.8 TW: 134.2 Wow, I just typed January! 2023 is almost here. And, my weight is up, so a major goal has to be reduction. My workouts are pretty good, although my trainer had to cancel last Monday. But, I've been closing my rings and getting my cardio workouts done, so I know it's purely intake. My goal for this week…
-
Dec 14 - Dec 20
LW: 133.2 TW: 133.0 I had a busy day yesterday and my food intake was less than usual by the end of the day. I'm chalking the reduction up to that, but I don't expect it to last as more Holidays and events are on the horizon! I had no trainer again Monday (still dealing with kids illnesses), but per her texts they are all…

Nov 9 - Nov 15
LW: 132.6 TW: 132.4 Not much, but I'll take it. A couple of leftover Halloween candy got me, lol. So far this week is going well, Monday and Tuesday workouts and deficits, and getting on a cardio workout this afternoon. Unfortunately, my sister was in the hospital a couple of days. . she went home yesterday but is going to…

Oct 12 - Oct 18
LW: 132.2 TW: 132.6 I'm hanging around the same weight and just hope I will not gain on our trip. . maybe all the walking will help. Fingers crossed. Sarah, the forgotten medications sounds like something I would do, lol! I'm glad you had a good time at the reunion anyway though. Kelly, I've also been thinking about you…

Aug 31 - Sept 6
LW: 131.4 TW: 131.8 Well, this is proof that more exercise doesn't reduce weight. I've been getting a lot of exercise, but the intake has been hit or miss. I can't believe it's the last day of August. Where does the time go? I had posted that there's been a lot happening in my life, so I'll just give an update. We sold our…
-
July 13 - July 19
Last time: 130.2 TW: 132.2 Yikes! Two full pounds after the 4th and our trip . . that's really unacceptable. I had fun and just kinda "let it all go" with eating . . so, I'm committing to you ladies that I'm back at it. I tried to post photos from my phone, but was unsuccessful. I'll try again tomorrow when I have time. I…

June 22 - June 28
LW: 128.8 TW: 129 Well, having had a bar-b-que with family here on Father's Day, that is better than I expected. The baby and step-granddaughter were here, and zooming with the rest of the Fam was fun. Now, we're getting ready to go to Jackson Lake, and all the plans have changed . . no Yellowstone due to roads getting…

June 1 - June 7
LW: 129.8 TW: 129.2 I cannot believe I just typed "June"! It seems like yesterday was New Years Day with all my resolutions . . LOL. I've only checked off a few . . cleaning some closets and such, and my weight is up since then. Well, I'll try to not get discouraged. Lois, good for you getting so much cleaning and…

April 20 - April 26
LW: 127.2 TW: 127 Well, a little improvement, which is good considering my foot. I'm trying to stay off it, but it's so hard to do that. Hubby had cataract surgery yesterday, and my trainer came on Monday . . . she gave me a great workout with no weight bearing on that foot. So, I've done a couple of "chair cardio"…
-
March 16 - March 22
LW: 125.4 TW: 125.2 Not much, but a little improvement. My trainer got my head on straight Monday, and she's going to do measurements next Monday. She'll check body fat, and that should be interesting. So, for a couple of days I've been more motivated, lol. Kelly, great to see your post, and you're inspiring me! Keep up…
-
March 9 - March 15
Last time: 124.8 TW: 125.4 Not good . . up, up I go. The interruptions to exercise and eating well don't take long to show up on the scale. So, all I can do is get back to it without delay. I know it's not a huge gain, but I can feel it. We're trying to get back to normal here but hubby is, of course, struggling at times…

Feb 23 - Mar 1
LW: 124.2 TW: 124.8 Wow. Not good. I knew the alcohol and sodium of sushi would get me. Gotta double down now. And, I can't believe I just typed March! With Maui coming up I want to work harder. Kelly, I can only think of two or maybe three times in my lifetime that we've had over 5 feet of snow, in the foothills . . it's…
-
Feb 9 - Feb 15
LW: 124.6 TW: 124.6 Well, I'm maintaining well, so that means doing something differently if I want different results. Maybe a HIIT workout today. Obviously, better intake choices also. Lois, you have really been inundated lately! I hope you can find a facility for your MIL soon. Why have 3 places not accepted her? That's…

Dec 22 - Dec 28
LW: 122.8 TW: 123.2 Ugh. I don't want the upward trend over the holidays, but it seems inevitable. I'll try to focus more. Son and his family arrive tomorrow. . I'm ready and getting soooo excited! They decided to stop off and stay overnight in Nevada along the way. I'm relieved because that is a REALLY long drive through…

Dec 15 - Dec 21
LW: 122.8 TW: 122.8 Holding steady. . I've been super busy getting ready for Christmas, helping my daughter with baby, etc. Today I'm baking and making chili and having an online playdate, later family zoom. I did manage to get a 30 minute workout this morning too. I'll have my trainer tomorrow for the last time this year.…
-
Dec 1 - Dec 7
LW: 122.6 TW: 122.4 Well, a slight reduction is okay with me, especially this time of year. And, yesterday I was at my daughter's home to help with the baby because she started back working (online) and had meetings. They hired a nanny, but she isn't starting quite yet, so we are all pitching in until she does. Hubby went…
-
Nov 24 - Nov 30
LW: 122.6 TW: 122.6 I'm very relieved to see exactly the same weight as last week. Thank goodness for my trainer Monday, or I would have likely had an increase. I had no workout yesterday, but spent the day with my daughter and baby granddaughter. We had some time at home, and then went to lunch at 2:30 to avoid the lunch…
-
Nov 3 - Nov 9
LW: 122.2 TW: 122.0 Well, I've really hit a set point or plateau. I've been able to manage a workout every other day with helping out with the baby. They're settling into a pretty good schedule, and Vanessa is starting to feel quite a bit better, although it was a difficult c-section and it will take time for her. Her…

Oct 13 - Oct 19
LW: 122.0 TW: 122.4 Well, not surprising since I had daughter and her family here for her birthday dinner and celebration Monday night, which was her actual birthday. They were doing their own romantic celebration over the weekend. He didn't have his daughter, and they thought they should savor the time before a newborn…
-
Oct 6 - Oct 12
LW: 122.4 TW: 122.0 I'm really surprised to see a reduction since I had Chinese take out Monday night. I felt "puffy" yesterday, but today seems better. Sarah, so glad you're back on the antibiotic and feeling better, AND getting back up to 10K steps. Good job. Kelly, I was so glad to see your post. I want you to know we…
-
Aug 25 - Aug 31
LW: 125.4 TW: 124.2 I'm really happy! I didn't expect that much of a reduction. It might be party due to stress. As you know, I'm flying to Portland today, so I've got to run! I was excited to post that weight!! Kelly, I saw your post, and it's great to see you back on here and that you had a nice vacation. I miss your…
-
Aug 4 - Aug 10
LW: 128 TW: 127.2 I'm happy with that. I feel like I'm in a groove with intake, even if it is somewhat repetitive. At least it's working. . . so far, lol. Sarah, I think getting into that walk/run group would be very fun. And a great way to meet new people with similar interests and health goals. You like company when you…

July 21 - July 27 Weigh-in
LW: 129.6 TW: 128.4 Hurray! It seems like it's so hard for me to break through 130 with any consistency, so getting below that set point by 1.6 pounds feels like a relief. My SIL texted a photo of me from golf the other day, and after seeing it, I decided I'm going to keep going, lol! I hope to get to 125 and then reassess…
-
July 7 - July 13
Last time: 130.6 TW: 130.8 I'm happy (and surprised) with today's weigh in. I thought I would have gained for sure. I ate pretty much what I wanted, and even drank wine and a couple of beers. All I did was refrain from breakfasts with just black coffee (I'm never hungry in the mornings), and didn't start eating until about…
