Weigh-in May 26 - June 1
LW: 133.6 TW: 133.0 Wow, did I just type JUNE? Summer is upon us. I have just been plugging along with daily activity of at least 30 minutes, and logging my food. It seems to be working, although I lose weight so slowly . . . but it's so easy to put on. Argh. Congratulations Kelly on a really good reduction! Small changes…

Weigh-In May 12 - 18
LW: 134.4 TW: 134.4 Argh. I thought there would be reduction for sure. I've been logging food, but probably aren't low enough in calories. I get so hungry, especially when I work out, so I need to find foods that are very filling and low in calories . . . big salads I guess. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I might…

March 31 to April 6
LW: 133.6 TW: 134.6 Yikes! A full pound. . . not surprising though. Well, ladies, sorry to be so MIA. I had anticipated the wedding business and stress, but I had not anticipated how exhausted I would be and all the work afterward. SO MUCH WORK, lol. Sorry to disappoint, but I have only one photo on my phone of father /…

March 17 - 23
LW: 134 TW: 133.6 Well, a baby step in the right direction. Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'm excited because today the leprechaun is bringing hubby his second vaccine shot! Mine is this Friday . . . can't wait to get these in our arms! Lois, I'm so glad you got to play with Rhea on the Together app, and I know that game well.…

Feb 8 - 14
Hope you're all having a good Monday, and enjoyed the Super Bowl. Lois, I know your team was New England, but I wasn't sure that carries over to Tampa Bay now with Tom Brady there. Hubby and Cali son set up a Zoom party with a Super Bowl game. Today, we sent the prizes . . . winner and booby prize. We zoomed before the…

Jan 25 - Jan 31
LW: 133.4 TW: 133.0 I can't believe the dates I just put down for this thread. It cannot already be the end of January. I just barely got used to writing 2021. I'm off to get a cardio workout soon. I did weights and cardio yesterday. I'm doing well with the activity, but intake is still a challenge. However, I think I feel…

Dec 21 - Dec 27
SW: 156 LW: 132.8 TW: 132.2 I was feeling rather discouraged this morning when I weighed, so I decided to post my starting weight to remind myself what I’ve accomplished. I’ve had a pretty good week of getting activity done so far. Over the next few days that will be more of a challenge. Sarah, I did start taking Lipitor,…

Weigh-in Week Dec 14 - 20
The dates on the thread was confusing me, so I started a new one. Not sure which day of the week you all want to weigh . . . Mine is on Wednesdays. Lois, what a scary event for your neighbor and you. Praying your hubby is negative, and that your neighbor recovers quickly. Is your MIL getting confused about her pills? I…

Dec 2nd - Dec 8th
LW: 133 TW: 133.2 That is down from yesterday, so I'm happy. Thanksgiving didn't "do me in" as much as anticipated. Last night we had our weekly Zoom family meeting online. It looks like we all agree this Christmas is going to be "lockdown" Christmas because of this damn virus. So, no travel or visits. It looks like…

Nov 18 - Nov 24
LW: 131.6 TW: 132.2 Uck, I know it's not a big uptick, but still frustrating. Maybe sodium. I got up before 6 today because the wind is whipping around here, and I just have too much on my mind. It's been warmish the last day or so, but so windy that my eyes are itchy and nose runny . . like allergies. Strange in November…

Weigh In 8/24 - 8/30
LW: 133.0 TW: 133.4 Ugh. It could be party because of salt from Mexican Food last night, but I'm really getting sick of the scale going up! Gotta do something better. That's 13 pounds heavier than my desired weight. Oh boy. :| Sarah, your job news is mind blowing and so unfair. I'm shocked and disappointed that this is how…
-
Weigh In, June 1 - June 7
I thought I'd go ahead and start the new thread. Lois, I'm so relieved to read that you postponed your L.A. trip. The anger and wreckage in the wake of another black man's death is just too much. Stay safe. I agree with you that the looting and destruction is so wrong. We had demonstrations here in Salt Lake City, and the…

April 27 - May 3
SW: 156 LW: 132.2 TW: 132 Well, I got a good workout Monday, but then yesterday and today have been migraine city for me, so mostly laying around with a heating pad on my neck and taking ibuprofen. Ugh. Maybe I’ve at least stopped gaining weight, lol. The weather here is kind of nice today, so we’re going to just take a…

April 6 - April 12
I thought I'd start a new thread. I cannot believe the dates I typed for this! Where does the time go? And yet, staying home seems like forever . . SW: 156 LW: 130.6 TW: 130.6 Looking back over my calendar, this is the start of the 4th week of staying home. A long time, and yet I'm afraid it may be longer, and maybe much…

Weigh-In Jan 27 - Feb 2
Yikes! I can't believe I just typed Feb :s I thought I'd start the new thread even though some already weighed in on last thread. SW: 156 LW: 128.6 TW: 128 Well, it's ever so slow, but I won't complain. Lois, great reduction! And I can tell you're getting back into your groove. Meal prep, and trainer, and moving! We know…

Weigh-In Jan 13 - Jan 19
SW: 156 LW: 130.6 TW: 129.2 Hurray! Finally back in the 120's. . been hovering above and below 130 for a long time now. My goal is to get my body to accept NOT being 130 or over. This is what daily logging does for me. Lois, congratulations on the reduction! And have a glorious mother-daughter shopping day :) Daughters are…

Weigh-In Jan 6 - Jan 12
SW: 156 Last time: 130.8 TW: 130.6 Hello ladies. Sorry to be MIA for so long. Caught up on your posts . . you're both starting the new decade working hard, and I hope you can squeeze in the "me" time that we all need in order to take care of ourselves. I'm retired and it's still feels hard to find that time, believe it or…

Oct 14 - Oct 20
SW: 156 LW: 132 TW: 132.4 We went out to "Miss Saigon” at the theater last night, and my meal was so full of sodium! I'm going to blame that for the gain because I was pretty good this week so far. Lots of water today! Congratulations Nats!!!! I'm sure everyone in the DC area is super excited!! Sarah, I was wondering if…

Weigh In July 29 - August 4
SW: 156 LW: 133.4 TW: 132.2 That's completely unexpected, but I'll take it. I think tummy trouble and being so busy with family activities contributed to a reduction. Now . . to keep that going in a healthy way. Lois, it's great that you get your blood moving with the extra steps at work. Hang in there with that heat and…
-
Weigh In July 15 - July 21
Started the new weigh-in thread: SW: 156 LW: 133.6 TW: 133.4 Huh. I'm actually surprised I had any reduction. I haven't been logging food, but just taking less food than normal onto my plate. I even put some back once or twice after I took it. I think it's just habit . . then I think, "I don't need that much". And I really…
-
Weigh In April 22 - 28
Thought I would start this weeks thread. . Wow, it seems we've all been suffering a loss of motivation. Hmmm . . how to get back our mojo?? Totally understandable considering the emotional and physical ups and downs in our lives. Loss is especially a killer of motivation. But, Lois, I'm sure after a bit more time you'll…

Weigh In Nov 5 - Nov 11
SW: 156 Last time: 130.2 TW: 131 Well, here I go up from 130. Not gonna let that happen! Sarah, I think you're right about all of us needing to set some goals. I counted a little over 7 weeks until the end of the year. I believe I can set a realistic goal to lose 5 pounds by Jan 1. (My body will let go of a little over a…

Weigh-In Sept 4 - 10
SW: 156 LW: 127.6 TW: 128.5 :o Oh boy. Trending upward, of course. Can't expect different when I've been doing the same. Drinking beer at Octoberfest, going out for Mexican food with friends, no trainer, etc., etc. So, the Holiday is over, and as of yesterday I'm back logging and getting more movement. Kelly, yes, I've had…
-
Weigh In July 31 - Aug 6
SW: 156 LW: 128.2 TW: 127.6 Finally a bit of progress. I've been logging food and getting some varied cardio every day, so I'm "back in the saddle" after all the family fun. But, tonight I'm going out with friends, and there's always the restaurant food and cocktails. I promise I'll be moderate. My trainer had her baby…

Weigh In July 10 - 16
Posted on Facebook also. SW: 156 LW: 126,6 TW: 127.2 Geez. Well, that's what happens when I go out of town and don't even think about diet or exercise, lol. Had fun though. Got home Monday night, worked out Tuesday, exhausted today. Had a nails apt did laundry and a little yard work. It's all I can do today. I have my…

Weigh In June 12 - 18
Happy Monday, ladies. Hope your weekend was good. Mine was a lot of physical work opening the cabin for the season with lots of cleaning and yard clean up, raking and bending, etc. I'm sore in places I never usually feel, especially lower back. Then today I had my trainer, and she wasn't nice to me even though I was…
-
Weigh-in May 22-28
SW: 156 LW: 125.2 TW: 123.6 I'm pleasantly surprised. I think playing with the grandkids (which included a very active pool day, and playing tag in the back yard) burned more calories than I had expected. Also, I got right back on the wagon on Monday, so not as much damage as I had imagined. Sarah, I'm so sorry about the…
-
Weigh-In Mar 6 - 12
SW: 156 LW: 129.2 TW: 129 OMG. So. Slow. My body really, really doesn't like to weigh less than 130. How can I tell it to let go? I can SEE the 10 pounds just sitting there around my middle! I started this weigh-in thread, but I really like Lois' idea of a separate weigh-in thread. One for just weigh-in numbers, and one…
-
Weigh-In Feb 13 - 19
SW: 156 LW: 131 TW: 130 It's weird that I'm landing on even numbers with no tenths. . but I'll take that. I was hoping to be in the 120's by Valentines Day (thus hoping for the tenths), but it is a full pound so I'm happy. No candy or chocolate for me yesterday! Hubby gave me a nice card, took me out to "Top Golf" for some…
-
Weigh-In Dec 5 - Dec 11
SW: 156 LW: 131 TW: 131.5 Up I go AGAIN! Bleh. I like to tell myself it's weight lifting and all the walking making the muscles in my legs hard as rocks, lol. Pickle juice, huh? Well, I like pickles so that shouldn't be too yucky for me. I'll give it a try. Sarah, the night I got the cramp in my thigh, I did yell and moan…
