December 7-13, 2022
LW: 130.4 TW: 131.6 Not what I wanted. My weight has been bouncing around a lot this week, but I think the reason I weighed 130.4 yesterday and 131.6 today is that my sodium intake was high yesterday and so was sugar. I made the mistake of skipping breakfast, eating an early lunch, and was way too hungy by dinner time.…

November 30-December 6, 2022
LW: 129.8 TW: 130.4 I can't believe I typed December, and as I did, it hit me that 2022 is quickly slipping away. Man, this year went fast! Although I'm up a half pound from last Wednesday, it's within my usual swing of a couple of pounds on any given day, so I'm not too concerned. In fact, considering that the past week…

November 23-29, 2022
LW: 130.0 TW: 129.8 So steady as she goes, but at least I've held steady despite a few bumps in the road as far as activity. Thought I'd start the thread before the day slips away from me and while it's still morning for the rest of you. As we slide toward the holidays it does seem like the days go by faster. And perhaps…

November 16-November 22
LW: 131.2 TW: 130.0 Well, I'm happy. I still want to see a 2 after that 1, but I'm glad to have a lower number on weigh-in day. I actually saw a much higher number one day this past week--about 3 pounds higher, in fact--but at least the low end of the swing is a bit lower. I hope to get the high end a bit lower, too, as…

November 3-8, 2022
LW: 131.2 TW: 131.8 Darn it! But that's what travel often does to me. Sorry that I've been MIA for the past week. I thought I mentioned it, but apparently I didn't. We took a short trip with another couple to Williamsburg, VA. We just needed a few days away and decided to choose that location because the leaves were at…

October 26-November 2, 2022
LW: 129.2 TW: 131.2 Oh, read it and weep! It's disappointing to log 2 pounds up, but trust me--that's not as bad as it has been. On Monday, I stepped on the scale and almost screamed because I saw 133. That's the highest I have been in a long time, and for that day, I sort of felt defeated. But I looked at Sunday, which…

October 19-25, 2022
LW: 131.4 TW: 129.2 Sorry I'm late posting. The past 3 days have been super busy. I did weigh yesterday and planned to post, so my weight above is Wednesday's. I didn't even think to weigh today. I slept a little late and had to rush to get to my class. Then I went from class directly to walk because my walking buddy had a…

October 5-11, 2022
LW: 130.0 TW: 130.0 Well, holding my own here. No--actually, I think I've seen a little progress. This is actually my high weight for the last week. It has bounced around between 129.2 and 130.0. I only hope that I can hold it here until we get back from hubby's reunion. Two days on the road, four days eating out, fewer…

September 28-October 4, 2022
LW: 131.0 TW: 130.0 Happy hump day, ladies. I can't believe I just typed October. The days are getting so much shorter and a little cooler here on the East Coast. I love fall but kind of dread the short amount of daylight that will come soon. Thankfully, I hit the low end of my swing on weigh-in day this week. I've enjoyed…

September 21-27, 2022
LW: 131.6 TW: 131.0 Good morning, all. Thought I'd start the thread before my day gets away from me. Lois, oh my gosh. I am so sorry you are having to go through all this pain, effects of the pain meds, etc., and I hope the next suture/staple removal is not so painful. When I fell and broke my nose and cut up my face last…

September 14-20, 2022
LW: 131.6 TW: 131.6 Happy Thursday. I was ready to apologize for not weighing in yesterday, but I see others were also caught with a busy day. I did weigh yesterday morning, and the TW is that weight. I was down a little this morning (130.8), but it's still all in the 2-pound range that I have been stuck in far longer than…
-
September 7-13, 2022
LW: 130.4 TW: 131.6 Not so lucky this time to be on the low end of the swing. Instead, I'm on the high end. I'm still dealing with lower tummy issues and I'm not sure what is going on. The good thing is that I have yet to run a fever, so hopefully if it is diverticulitis again, it is mild and will stay that way. Not sure…

August 24-30, 2022
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.4 Wow. I was feeling bad about not getting here until almost 6:30 p.m. EDT, and I see I'm the first to arrive! I'm again lucky enough to hit the low end of my 2-pound swing on weigh-in day. This is the lowest weight I've seen during the past 7 days, but one afternoon, I actually saw a big hike that scare…

August 17-23, 2022
LW: 132.2 TW: 130.6 Well, that's a nice surprise. Makes me think that last week's weight was probably some water weight, but in any event, it's nice to see a loss. I did my hilly outside route last night for the first time in a while. I headed out right about sundown, so it was a little warm but not hot. I think the change…

August 10-16, 2022
LW: 132.0 TW: 132.2 Well rats! Twice this week, I was 130.8 and thought I was making a little progress. But as we always say, just put whatever the scale says on Wednesday morning. And so that's it! :/ I'm starting the thread and posting early because this is going to be a busy day. I am walking earlier today because I…

August 3-9, 2022
LW: 131.2 TW: 132.0 Well this is an unpleasant surprise and one that is hard to explain. My intake was better than usual (average actual kcals over the 7 days was 1150, i.e., less than the 1200 that MFP recommends. My other stats were okay. Steps were a little off, but primarily because I went to the pool for part of my…

July 6-12, 2022
LW: 129.8 TW: 129.8 Well, steady as she goes, which I suppose is not too bad considering the holiday weekend. July 4 also affected my 7-day average steps because I only got a little over 4K steps that day, although it was a very busy one. We spent part of the day at the pool, where I don't wear my fitbit. We spent part of…

June 29-July 5, 2022
LW: 130.4 TW: 129.8 Well still not far enough away from 130/131 to make me feel like I'm over the hump, but I was very happy to see that "2". I might add that I was also surpised since we had a shrimp dish last night that included feta, and of course that is very high in salt. Plus we ate dinner at 9 p.m. It was one of…
-
June 15-21, 2022
LW: 130.0 TW: 130.8 Ughh. That's what a high sodium day will do to you! I was 129.2 two days ago! But Hubby loves salt and usually adds more than a recipe calls for. And last night he made Ellie Krieger's pork medallions with cherry sauce. It's very good and low in fat and calories. But Ellie tends to not use much salt at…

May 25-31, 2022
LW: 131.0 TW: ?? (Monday, 130.6) Hi, ladies. My weight today is irrelevant since I underwent a colonoscopy today and fasted yesterday and then went through that horrible prep routine, so my weight today is artificially low. I had a much rougher time with this procedure than I did with the one 7 years ago. I was violently…
-
May 18-24,2022
LW: 130.8 TW: 131.0 Okay. I'm going to post before the day gets away from me today. I'm a bit frustrated, truth be known, even though my weight was more else steady. I'm still trying to figure out what I need to do to head in other direction. My stats for this week are good. There was a time when I was stuck at a desk for…
-
May 11-17, 2022
LW: 130.2 TW: 130.8 Well, that's a little better than yesterday morning, but I'm frustrated that I can't seem to get and stay below 130. I managed to maintain an 1800 kcal-a-day burn with the exception of Wednesday when I just felt like crap. I don't know what was going on, but thankfully it only lasted a day. Today my…

May 4-10, 2022
LW: 130.0 TW: 130.2 So more or less hanging out in the same ole neighborhood. :/ It has been an odd sort of week in some ways. I'm just a little down a bit more often than usual. I am not really sure why and it's not serious and it's not for a full day at a time, but it's there. Tomorrow we are having lunch with friends…

April 27-May 3, 2022
LW: 131.2 TW: 130.0 Hello and happy hump day ladies. First, I have to confess that I am not in a good mood this morning. Nothing really bad is going on, but I just feel cranky and discontent. Yesterday I got my hair cut and I have realized lately that I am over my current do, but don't know how I want to change it. I have…
-
April 6-April 12, 2022
LW: 129.8 TW: 130.0 So more or less holding my own. If you can remember, one of my weaknesses is dried cherries, and I bought some to include in a gift, forget to do that, and of course, they have been calling my name! For something that sounds healthy, they sure have a lot of calories. I don't have a lot to share so I'm…

March 30-April 5, 2022
LW: 130.4 TW: 129.8 I just looked at the clock on my computer and realized that the day has sped by. Going walking at noon splits my day at an odd time, and I'm getting a little weary of it. But since the mall will soon be closing and my current walking buddy starts work at 3 p.m., I'm going to continue for at least a…
-
March 23-29, 2022
LW: 130.4 TW: 130.4 I can look at this as going nowhere or gratefully maintaining. I think I'll opt for the second one right now. We had a nice St. Patrick's dinner with friends last Thursday and nothing has stopped working or broken down during the past 7 days. :D I have also managed to handle the discomfort of my…

March 2-8, 2022
LW: 130.6 TW: 131.2 Still bouncing around and of course, my high for the week fell on weigh-in day. I know there are things I used to do that I am no longer doing, and I need to ask myself if I'm truly committed to getting out of this range. I suppose some of today's weight reflects the eating out for Lyn's birthday and…
-
Feb 16-22, 2022
LW: 131 TW: 131.2 Arghhhh. I had actually made some headway and was back to 130.0 yesterday and now--boom! I suspect that it's the mustard honey pretzel pieces I had last night. One good thing about weighing several times a week and logging food every day is that I can go back and compare other spikes. And I quickly saw…
-
Feb 2-8, 2022
LW: 130.6 TW: 130.8 Wow. I was prepared to apologize for being late to post and was surprised to be first. Perhaps it's the time difference. It's 6:30 my time, but only 4:30 (or maybe even 3:30) for everyone else. Obviously, I'm not happy to still be around the same weight. I looked at my stats and I've come to the…
