LW: 133.4 TW: 133.6 So essentially still hanging out in the same area. My 7-day averages were pretty good and probably kept me in this zone despite having the Halloween candy around and a luncheon for one of our Bone Builder members who is moving away. They were:Steps = 12,149Kcals burned = 1,776I'm a little late checking…

October 22-28, 2025
LW: 134.2 TW: 133.8 Typically, my weight varied day to day with a low of 132.4 and a high of 134.2. I'm a bit disapppointed that each end was not lower because I increased my activity a bit, and so of course my kcals burned was a little higher, too. But it is what it is. Here are my 7-day averages: Steps = 11,260 Kcals…

October 8-14, 2025
LW: 134.0 TW: 133.8 So essentially the same, which is a disappointment since I had fairly decent calorie deficient most days and my activity was pretty good. But I'm still not getting much sleep (about 5 to 6 hours) and I'm still feeling more anxiety than is typical for me. I just said to a neighbor that it's odd that in a…

October 1-7, 2025
LW: 133.2 TW: 134.0 Sorry I did not get here yesterday to post, but I did weigh and collect my averages. It's a bit frustrating to see an increase even though my steps and burn with both better, and in fact, this was the first week since my surgery that my steps averaged more than 10K (10,447) and my kcals burned was above…

September 24-30, 2025
LW: 133.8 TW: 133.2 Well, at least I'm back to what I was the first couple of weeks of September. I think I'm probably just holding steady though, since we know that weight varies day by day. I'll feel like I'm moving in the desired direction once that third number is a two. Not a lot to report this week. I made it to…

Sept. 17-23, 2025
LW: 133.2 TW: 133.8 Arghh. I just seem to be stuck in the 133's. I am becoming convinced that somehow my metabolism did change with the colon resection. So despite the small upward bump, I'm going to focus on the positive, which is that my 7 day averages for both steps and kcals burned are both a bit higher than they were…

September 10-16, 2025
LW: 133.2 TW: 133.2 Well, I was suprised to see this number this morning, and because of that upward movement yesterday, I was also relieved. I won't say happy because of course I want to get back to my pre-surgery weight, but I am relieved to have that third number be a 3 and not a 4. As I look back, I see that I've…

August 20-26, 2025
LW: 133.2 TW: 133.0 Just hanging steady. Good thing is that my lower tummy does feel a little better this week. I notice it most when I stand from a seated position. Doesn't pull as much. Once again, my 7-day average did not quite reach 9K steps. It was 8,499, which I don't think was too bad given that day that my fitbit…

July 23-29, 2025
LW: 131.8 TW: 133.2 (I cannot believe I just did this. I typed out a long post, then pulled up a new tab to check on a book title that I had blanked out, and I lost the whole darned thing! So here I go again!) Regarding the weight, I had said "Ouch," because although I knew I'd probably gain some as I recovered from the…

July 16-22, 2025
LW: 129.4 TW: 131.8 Well, that's a bummer. 😐️I can only surmise that it's the result of not being able to burn as many kcals because I can't move around that much and still trying to follow that igher calorie post-surgery diet plan. (That ends on Sunday.) But the soreness is improving. I have one area that is still pretty…

June 18-24, 2025
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…

May 28-June 3, 2025
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…

April 23-29, 2025
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…
