Weigh-In Oct 31 - Nov 6
SW: 156 LW: 129.5 TW: 130.5 Oh boy. Halloween and travel has wrecked it's havoc. Well, all I can do is get back at it. We had SO MUCH FUN with the granddaughters! It was perfect fall weather in Portland. Their school parties were adorable, and going out trick-or-treating with them was the most fun I've had in a long time!…

Weigh-In Oct 3 - Oct 9
Yikes. Typing the dates for this thread just freaked me out! Where does the time go? Yeah, and I turned 64 since last here. Uh-huh. Thanks for the birthday wishes on FB and by email (Sarah :) ) It makes me happy knowing I have friends here. I really appreciate you ladies. . and I missed you. SW: 156 Last time: 128 TW:…

Weigh-In Sept 5 - Sept 11
SW: 156 LW: 128 TW: 128 Well, I'm holding steady. I would like to do better, but I think that for now, and until we return from our travels, I'm happy to stay under 130. I know that's not very ambitious, but it's realistic. Our granddaughter in Cali turns 4 on Sept. 23, and we were to be in Hawaii. So, just when I was…

Weigh-In August 15 - 21
SW: 156 LW: 127.4 TW: 127.5 Oh man. I'm struggling with hunger. It's really hard to keep intake low enough to lose. Ah well. At least I'm keeping it in the proper decade of numbers. Lois, I'm happy for the good news about your MIL. And, you're getting back to it with food prep, TRX class, etc. Good for you! Sarah,…

Weigh in - June 13-19
SW: 156 LW: 127.8 TW: 128 Dang it. Day before yesterday I weighed 126.8. But, one rock concert and two large beers last night has wrecked it's havoc. :/ Hopefully it will resolve quickly. Water, water, water.

Weigh-In May 23 - May 29
SW: 156 LW: 128.5 TW: 128 Half a pound. Meh. But, I'll take it. I know I've been lifting weights and exercising quite a bit, but have been hungrier than a mama bear in the springtime, lol. I've been eating healthy, but too many calories. It's amazing to me how good our bodies are at maintaining a set point. Did you all…

Weigh-In Feb 17
SW: 156 LW: 128 TW: 127 Lost 1 pound Better than I expected! :) I didn't get much exercise on Valentine's Day, so I just tried to be reasonable with intake. Monday, I did a good cardio intervals workout that kicked my butt! I swear it works so well for me, but I just can't bring myself to do it more often. :| Maybe I'll…

Weigh-In Feb 3
SW: 156 LW: 129.2 TW: 128.2 Loss of 1 pound I'm happy with that. At this point, a full pound is great for me. Had personal appointments today, but I haven't forgotten the challenge and the 2016 race. Off to the TM late in the day.

Weigh-In Jan 20
SW: 156 LW: 130 TW: 129.2 Loss of .8 lbs Well, I'll take it :) Happy to be back where I was before the road trip for the holidays. It feels good to be in the 120's. But, I know things will slow significantly now. Lois and Light, I hope you're starting to feel better. A lot of people around here are also sick with winter…

Weigh-In Dec 2nd
SW: 156 LW: 133 TW: 133 That's a relief! I'm happy with maintaining through Thanksgiving week. :) As opposed to past years, this year I ate, but not out of control, and I got right back to plan the next day, which kept things in check pretty well.

Didn't have time to post yesterday: SW: 156 LW: 135 TW: 134 Loss of 1 pound I'm happy with that. I realize it's going to go slow, so I'll just hang on with the same routine for now. Must run for now. Hope you're having a healthy day!

Weigh-In Nov 4th
Well, today is my weigh-in day: SW: 156 LW: 137 TW: 135.5 Loss: -1.5 Yay! Finally a pretty good loss. . .more than one pound is tough for me. Went out to lunch with my sister today. Speaking about family health issues here was on point for getting together with her today. She had to postpone major back surgery a month ago…

Weigh-In Sept 30
SW: 156 Last time: 136.5 TW: 137.5 Up another pound. :/ I'm hoping the new challenge helps get things going the other way. I hate it when I start getting close to the next weight "decade". It's so discouraging. Light, I found the active minutes on my iPhone. Thank you..but I still can't find where it breaks down fat…

Weigh-In August 18
SW: 156 LW: 138 TW: 137.5 Well, I had a really good week. . had a calorie deficit all but one day, worked out 5 out of 7 days, so a half pound is a little disappointing, but I'll take it. I did another water aerobics class this morning at 7. I really felt the last class in my arms and chest, so I'm shooting for Tuesdays…

Weigh-In June 23
SW: 156 LW: 137 TW: 137.2 That was yesterday morning's weight. This morning it's 138 :/ But, we went out last night, so I'm hoping it's the cocktail and higher sodium. But, the trend is NOT acceptable! Today, dental check up and then I'm working out. Sarah, I AM trying to avoid the 140 threshold . . and it would be nice to…

Weigh-In June 16
Back dated the new thread one day since I had no chance to post yesterday. SW: 156 Last time: 136 TW: 137 I just keep going up :/ But, that's actually not as bad as it could have been with all the fun I've been having lately. Lois . . .where are you and how's your back doing? Sarah, I'm with you on insurance companies. .…

Weigh-In May 27
SW: 156 LW: 135 TW: 136 Argh! Well, holiday weekend and all. However, I'm happy to report that even though I gained a pound, I lost 1/2 inch off my waist! I cut back on cardio, replaced it with HIIT and heavy weight lifting. It seems like I'm a bit leaner. Changing things up periodically works pretty well for me. If I was…

Hey all! I hope you're all staying warm! What crazy cold weather. . . and the news shows terrible storms in the east. Take care. Just a skiff of snow here, but REALLY cold.

Weigh In April 1
Happy April everyone!! Hopefully, Spring will get a foothold soon. There was snow here in the last few days, so I'm really looking forward to some sunshine soon.
