Wednesday Weigh In

Reader425

Thanks Heidi! Onward we go. Congratulations to you too!

Wren44

Up one to 134.5.

Reader425

Well I'm up 1 pound this week. Guess I need to tighten things up here as I have birthday and vacation coming up!

Heidihill

Reader, that's my strategy, too. I have to lose now before Christmas is here. LOL.

Maintaining.

Reader425

Heidi, the positive is I saw my oncologist for my post-mammogram check up and she said I looked "fabulous." I'll take it! As long as we're generally moving in the right direction

After having lost 7.5 lbs I gained back FOUR on vacation at the end of August. Have now lost 2.5 so I'm back somewhat on track. This board has been quiet. How is everyone doing?

I just got back from Boston where we walked 100,000 steps in 7 days....and I GAINED 3 pounds!! Yikes! I have been logging into loseit.com faithfully since we got home & have lost those 3 and am now back trying to get rid of 5 more (which I had previously lost before all the summer fun).

I'm also trying to get back on track so perhaps we can resurrect this thread to be accountable.

Reader425

that sounds good to me!

Reader425

I should add the cancer nutritionist I've seen said losing what is now 12 more pounds takes me to a weight that is "statistically significant " in terms of reducing disease. (I think general stuff not necessarily cancer reoccurring) . But still a good goal.

Okay, so down 2 lbs from where I was last week. Now at 168.6. I know we don't have to put weight but for me it might help keep me 'honest'!

ruthbru

I promise to report in faithfully.....stay tuned for tomorrow's report!

Oops! Thought today was Wednesday. Need to check my phone more often since that's the only way I know what day it is. But glad today is only Tuesday since if it was Wednesday I would be missing an appointment tomorrow evening.

Love being retired but need to find a method to know the day. It's gonna embarrass me when I show up on the wrong day. Just hope it's not to something where people are depending on me. On the Royal Caribbean cruise I did in 2014 they had the day posted in strategic places on the ship.

Reader425

Ladies, I will also faithfully check in!

Patoo, I retired in May and also have moments of day/date mental delay due to having no "driver" fo keep me on top of it. I've been noting my exercise in my daytimer to help. ( I give myself a ladybug sticker). Once a teacher always a teacher

All I've been able to accomplish with weight this summer is keeping the gain down to a couple of lbs. On Sunday we'll be heading home to Louisiana after 3 months in north MN. I'll back to weighing every day.

See, almost missed it. Down to 168.4 today.

Reader425

Down .8 (almost 1) Turtle slow....

Wren44

Today was 132.5. Just starting from there since I can't remember what it was before.

ruthbru

Down .2 from last week.

Heidihill

I am up circa 1 kilo as I've been eating cake everyday. This morning I finished it all so I can start losing again.

carolehalston

Yay to losers, no matter how small the loss!!!!

KleeKai

I'm willing to give this a try - I just finished all my treatments 9/24 and will circle back to my MO Thursday (will be starting tamoxifen). I have weight to lose and I'm going to start here as my motivator!! I will mark the calendar for the Wednesday weigh in.

Wren44

Welcome aboard! It's nice having other people doing the same thing.

Janett2014

For the last few weeks I've been down a pound a week. Slow and steady wins the race, right?! That means I should be able to lose another 12-13 pounds by the end of the year. I will check in here on Wednesdays to report how I'm doing.

Reader425

Welcome Janette, yes slow and steady is the way to go!

Janett2014

Reader425, I saw in an earlier post that you retired from teaching in May, right? Me too! There are a few things I miss about teaching, but I love retirement...

Reader425

Hi Janett, I taught for 5 years then did training and other work for 29 years with a technology company. I say I spent those years teaching "big kids!" I also miss work some but really love retirement.

carolehalston

Janet, I would love to lose 1 lb. a week. Keep up the good work.

Janett2014

Thanks Carole.

Down one pound today (from last Wednesday). Yay

ruthbru

I was up a pound (we are doing a yard project; yesterday worked until late, and then went out for pizza....so maybe I will be back down tomorrow).
