WBL: 130.8 LW: ??? TW: 130.4 Got home last night around 9 p.m. Would have gotten here sooner, but there were bad thunderstorms just south of DC that resulted in several accidents. and we missed the exit for the express lanes and were stuck on the beltway for a long, long time. The double funeral was held on Tuesday…

LW: 129.6 TW: 128.2 Before anyone ways "way to go!", let me tell you that the way that 1.4 pounds came off is NOT the way you want it to! It has been a very trying week. After I posted the last time (last Thursday), I realized that my lower tummy was again feeling sore. So knowing a holiday weekend was coming up, I called…

May 21-27, 2025
LW: 129.6 TW: 129.6 Steady as she goes. And I'm relieved because it has been quite the week. Because of this my steps were down again. Several nights, I got on the TM very late and I was so tired that around 7 to 8K was all I could muster. Saturday was one of those days. The trip to the celebration in PA included about 4…

May 7-13, 2025
LW: 131.6 TW: 130.2 Well a little movement in the right direction. This past week was not quite as difficult as the one before, but I'm still struggling a bit. I've been off the antibiotics for 4 full days and the distended belly is a little better, although not back to pre-diverticulitis normal. I never got a response to…

LW: 131.0 TW: 129.8 Hi, all. Sorry I haven't been back around to post in the past few days (did read some posts), but it has been a tough few days in more ways than one. Of course with company coming for Easter dinner, I worked my fool self to death preparing food and cleaning. But dinner was lovely and we enjoyed seeing…

April 16-22, 2025
LW: 130.6 TW: 131.0 What a bummer way to start the day! But all I can do is log whatever the scales say and move on. I actually had a fairly decent week with kcals burned and steps taken. My 7-day averages were: Steps = 10,788; Kcals = 1,788. I can remember lamenting not that long ago that I just could not get that average…

LW: 129.4 TW: 129.8 Hi, all. Well, it has been a tough week in some ways. Weight-wise, I'm relieved to be under 130 today, as I saw 131.0 on two days this week. 🙁 My intake and my acitivity were about the same as the week before, so the explanation is not obvious, but I struggled with fatigue a lot at the first of the week…

March 26-April 1, 2025
LW: 129.6 TW: 129.4 I'm relieved because yesterday was one of those days when I was just hungry all day. It's odd how sometimes I'll have a period of time when activity and intake are good and I expect a loss that doesn't show up, and then I'll have a period of time when those things aren't so good and I'll either stay the…

March 19-25, 2025
LW: 130.8 TW: 129.6 Whew. I was getting concerned about the way my weight was creeping up. But although this week's weight is better, I have recognized my tendency to eat when I'm not really hungry and that is something I have to recognize and not do. Last night, it was Lays lightly salted chips, which I ate after dinner,…

March 5-11, 2025
LW: 130.0 TW: 130.2 Yep. The not moving as much and the comfort eating are taking their toll. With appetite, I find the oddest thing. I actually feel hungrier for a short time after I eat than I was before I ate anything. Wondering if that's a blood sugar thing? I do know that I have to acknowledge that and get myself past…

Feb 12-18, 2025
LW: 128.8 TW: 128.6 Hi, all. I hope that I'm not creating the weekly post at the same time as someone else. I used to get online earlier, but these days, I get up and have coffee and read the paper, shower, dress, and make the bed, and then it's time to hit the road to get to treatment. From there I go to the mall to walk,…

Jan 22-28, 2025
LW: 128.4 TW: 128.4 Okay. Well holding kind of steady. I'm actually grateful to have seen a little up and down in the past few days. Monday, I think it was 129.6. I hope that movement means that my digestive system is beginning to normalize. I am feeling much better, although I still have a little tenderness and my energy…

Jan 1-7, 2025
LW: ?? TW: 129.8 I can't believe that I didn't even jot down on my calendar what I weighed on December 18, but that was the day after we learned that my step-niece died, and it was also the day we took Teddy to the specialty vets. Then that Thursday, my class was observed again, and I did some more volunteer work that…
-
Dec 11-17, 2024
LW: 130.2 TW: 129.2 Thankfully, I weighed in today at the lower end of my arc. Trust me--my weight fluctuates 2 to 3 pounds from day to day and for no discernable reason sometimes. Last night we treated a couple of our friends to dinner at a nice, new restaurant. It's Chinese, but not your typical Chinese. Their menu is a…

November 27-December 3, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.6 Hi, all. I have limited time today and will have to come back to chat later. But I wanted to at least log my weight and and 7-day averages, which were: Steps =10,205 Kcals burned= 1,710 Happy Thanksgiving Lois and Sheesh. Kelly, I know this is a U.S. holiday, but hope you have a nice, relaxing weekend.…

November 20-26, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.4 So steady as she goes, which I'm grateful to see considering that my intake and sleep are off due to the stress of dealing with my treatments. Long story short as I can make it, I've been waiting for a call to give me some information I need about scheduling my radiation treatments. The technician said…

November 13-19, 2024
LW: 128.2 TW: 129.4 Sorry to be a day late posting my weight this week. I suspect that I'm not the only one with a lot of balls in the air. Just got back from my set-up appointment at the radiologist. I've been a bit anxious about my treatment. Since this is such a rare diagnosis, there are not a lot of studies and data…
-
November 6-12, 2024
LW: 129.6 TW: 128.2 Well, I'm really surprised. With all the stress, availability of Halloween candy, and just not having the mental/physical/emotional energy to plan and cook meals, I felt I'd be at the high end of my arc for sure. I'm very tired today. I did not sleep well and woke up about 4 a.m. and only dozed from…
-
October 30-November 6, 2024
LW: 129.0 TW: 129.6 Kind of staying in the same range, which I guess is okay. My weight has fluctuated from 128.2 to 130.2 this week. Today, I'm more concerned about weight loss with one of our kitties. Our little Teddy is losing weight although he is eating well. He does not seem to feel sick, but the vet told us a month…

October 23-29, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.0 Holding my own in spite of the stress and limits on my movement. If you missed my last post, the findings from the surgery labs are there, and I have an appointment with the surgeon and the oncologist on Friday afternoon and will know more about my treatment after that happens. (I just looked to make…
-
October 16-22, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.4 It's a miracle! I really expected to gain at least a pound, if not more. My intake has been about the same, but I've allowed myself some "comfort" items that often cause some fluid retention. Seems sugar affects me more than salt. And of course, my step count is lower and so is my burn. These were…
-
October 9-15, 2024
LW: 129.2 TW: 129.4 More or less holding steady. I was hoping for a little downward movement because I knew that this coming week would be a wash, and I actually did a little better with my 7-day averages, but didn't watch the types of things I ate, like I should. I think when I'm a little anxious my sweet tooth acts up,…
-
October 2-9, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.2 Well, steady as she goes. Just as soon as I logged off last week, I promtly forgot my goal of burning 17K kcals each day. But although I forgot about that until yesterday, I still managed to have a 7-day average a bit above that. Steps were okay, too, despite the fact that we've had rain, rain, rain…
-
September 18-24, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 127.8 You could have knocked me over with a feather when I saw that number. I knew it would probably be a bit lower because I normally weigh less midmorning than I do right after I drink a huge mug of coffee, and typically, I weigh right after I come upstairs to dress. But today, I had a conference call with…
-
Sept 4-10, 2024
LW: 130.6 TW: 129.8 Down a little. It's nice to be home and better able to choose what I eat since the diverticulitis seems to have resolved. All my bloodwork was normal. As you know, today was the day for my appointment with the surgeon. I got good news and not so good news. They do want to take this growth out because…
-
August 7-13, 2024
LW: 129.8 TW: 129.4 Kind of holding my own, although I did have a couple of days where I dipped into the high 128's so some progress. Hubby's diverticulitis probably helped keep me on track this week because he was on a liquid diet for several days and then a soft, bland diet for several days. That it made it easier for me…
-
July 24-30, 2024
LW: 129.8 TW: 130.4 A bit disappointed at the scale this morning, since I'm a full pound up from yesterday, but I know that realistically I should be happy because this was such an unusual week. My biopsy was early morning, so I couldn't get activity beforehand, and I was told to not exercise for a couple of days after and…
-
July 31-August 6, 2024
LW: 130.4 TW: 129.8 Happy humpday! Well, I'm essentially holding my own, in more ways than one. I had a few days that I could not make it to my step goal, but then there were a few days when I was able to go over that amount a bit, even though I'm still not able to walk at my normal speed. The soreness, however, is much…
-
July 17-23, 2024
LW: 129.8 TW: 129.6 Well, steady as she goes. Good news is that I did see 128 point something a couple of times this week and I topped off at 130. So I count that as some progress. I have an appointment with my regular doc soon, so I'm just logging on to put in weight and stats and will come back later to chat. This…
-
July 3-July 9, 2024
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.2 Well, pretty much the same old ballpark, but one day this week I actually saw 129.4 and one day 129.8, so it's fluctuating, but fluctuating a little lower than week before last. I've done better with sugar this week, but need to remember that sugar is hiding in more than cookies, ice cream, or…
