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…

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…
-
June 19-25, 2024
LW: 132.0 TW: 130.6 I'm happy to see this, especially since I struggled a bit with just not feeling quite up to par during the past week. I think some is stress and some is weather. Lois, I know that our temps seem mild to you, but our heat is always accompanied by awful humidity. You can feel the heavy air bearing down on…
-
June 5-11, 2024
LW: 131.4 TW: 130.4 Same ballpark, i.e., somewhere between 130 and 132. It's kind of a daily struggle since hubby literally eats all the time to keep his blood sugar from tanking despite the metformin. And his weight is dropping (and he doesn't need to lose) although his A1C is good now. His summer pants and shorts are all…

Duplicate thread (moved)
Two of us were posting at the same time, so my post has been moved to the one Sheesh started.

May 22-28, 2024
LW: 131.4 TW: 130.4 Hi, everyone. This has been a super busy day for me and I still have things I have to do. But I wanted to take just a moment to log in and post my weight (which has bounced around all week with a low of 129.8 and a high of 132). I also wanted to post my 7-day averages before I lose track of those (steps…

May 8-14, 2024
LW: 131.4 TW: 130.8 Not a lot, but I'll take it. Thought I'd go ahead and start the thread before another day gets away from me. I hesitated when I first got up to say anything to anyone because I was feeling just cranky and negative. I don't know why. It was too early to be a reaction to anything that had happened. Then…

May 1-7, 2024
LW: 129.8 TW: 131.4 Arghhh! So frustrating. I've managed to cut way back on added sugar and I walked at times when I had very little energy to do so. This week, a lot of my energy has gone to doing things related to recovery from the pipe incident that are tiring but don't show up on my Fitbit. An example is picking up…

April 17-23, 2024
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.4 Well, not much luck in getting back below 130. I seem to keep bouncing between where I was yesterday (I did weigh yesterday, but had problems getting into MFP) and about a pound above that. Mentioning technical issues, yesterday morning, I could only get into some parts of MFP and when I tried to access…
-
April 10-16, 2024
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.6 And so she goes. Being in week 4 of all of this chaos plus concerns about its costs has my ratty little brain saying, "Go head and eat that piece of cake. You deserve a little treat." But then when I hit the scale, I think, "why do I keep doing this?" I think I've held together pretty well since all…
-
March 20-26, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 129.2 Well, I cannot begin to describe what we are dealing with. Our entire front yard is gone. We are literally going to have to hire a landscaping company and start from scratch. And hubby was so proud of that yard. We had zoysia grass that was like carpet and we kept pretty flowers growing in the flower…
-
March 13-19, 2024
LW: 128.6 TW: 129.4 Was on earlier and found that the discussion function was once again not functioning. It seems like Wednesdays are not good days for MFP. It has been a pretty ordinary week, and I know enough now to appreciate ordinary weeks (or days). We are still on the downhill slide for the pipe work. They're…
-
March 6-12, 2024
LW: 129.4 TW: 128.6 Hi, all. I wanted to post earlier today, but MFP was acting up when I tried to log food, so I decided to stop and give the MFP tech folks time to fix whatever was going on. I was happy with the scale this morning, but I think this lower number is due to the fact that I had to go “nothing by mouth” after…
-
February 21-27, 2024
LW: 128.2 LW: 129.8 Sorry to be so late posting. It has been a day! (No, actually, it has been a week!) Last week I mentioned that I was lucky to be weighing in at the bottom of my arc. This week there has been no arc. I quickly bounced from 128.2 to 129.8 and literally stayed there all week. I just heard my timer go off…
-
Feb 14-20, 2024
LW: 128.6 TW: 128.2 Well, I'm lucky again this week and hit the low end of the arc on weigh-in day. I am surprised. We have both been busy and stressed, so hubby decided that he just wanted pizza last night, and that usually results in a temporary 2-pound gain. But apparently the type we had last night was not as high in…
