Wednesday Weigh In

Good morning all.  131.0, down 1.8 from last week.  I don't need to lose any more.  YAY.

Yay, Marple!

I'm happy to be back down to 145 again. Especially knowing some of the things I've eaten this week! Back on track! 

118.8 lbs which is about the same as last week, after a week of eating dangerously with my brother and sister-in-law visiting from Nebraska. We've been eating out and celebrating birthdays, so lots of good food and cake. Could be much worse, so I'm happy and still under 120, which is my goal for March 31.

Stayed the same at 131. Of course I didn't do anything that might lead to weight loss, so no surprise. 

Nice to see so many familiar names/faces from the daily exercise thread!

Since starting on tamoxifen in Nov. '13, it's been a real struggle to keep weight off, in spite of feeling like i'm starving most of the time and am religious about exercise.  So.  Today at the gym, i weighed in at 161.5 lbs (i'm 5'9.5"/176.5 cm) and would love to get down to between 150-155.

Anyone else here on tamoxifen who thinks that it makes losing/maintaining weight more difficult?

Dieting an "occupation"!  I like that!

I'm chugging along on weight watchers, lost another pound but must admit I went off the rails today!! Used up 1/2 of my bonus points going out to lunch & dinner but it was fun!  Back to it tomorrow! Glad to see everyone else is doing well. 

Out of desperation i think it's time for the Tight Pants Diet, which usually works for me.  You simply wear tight pants (pretty much every pair these days) when you eat and you are guaranteed to feel so uncomfortable--and so numb below the waist--that it will be difficult to overindulge. That's my strategy, pat01, to get down to my goal weight!

Congratulations, TwoHobbies, on your weight loss and for doing it while on tamoxifen!  Just curious--what are your two hobbies?

Yes, elastic waist pants is what did me in between Thanksgiving and New Years - hubby had knee replacement, so I took 3 weeks out of work to care for him since he couldn't drive.  Spent every day in yoga pants, sitting around eating comfort food (for him!).  I've tried the tight pants diet, but have such a hard time sitting at my desk all day with such discomfort, and also hate the perpetual muffin top the tight pants give.  I've been exercising more, so the pants are starting to fit a little better, even if the scale isn't budging all that much.

Well, my appetite should be off for awhile. I have just been cleaning out the basement freezer, which apparently died a few days ago. OMG....GROSS!!!!!

Nothing had turned green yet, but it was well on the way.

I can smell it from just reading about it, Ruth. Yuck.

Weighing in late for last week but early for this week. Down 200 grams.

I think it's harder to lose on Tamoxifen but it may be just getting older in my case.

I miss Elizabeth Taylor!  What an iconoclast she was, and it didn't look like she'd disfigured herself with too much plastic surgery--but i can totally understand that she drew the line at elastic-waist pants!  

The tight-pants diet netted a whopping 8 oz. weight loss this week, or maybe i had a good pee before weigh-in, either-or. 

Re: tamoxifen: i know it's important to take responsibility for one's behavior, but on days when i'm in a dark mood everything gets blamed on it, from an icy sidewalk to burned toast! 

i'm leaving soon for a two-week bicycle trip to Mississippi--a friend & i are driving from Pittsburgh to Jackson, MS, and we plan to stop along the way to explore local sites by bike but we have no idea today what route we'll be taking, as that will depend on whether there's 'wintry mix' or other meteorological surprises in the forecasts for places between here and there.  

bluetail that sounds like great fun and a great way to see spring. Keep us posted 

130.8 down .2 from last week. 

Bluetail, a two week bicycle trip sounds like fun.  What great exercise.  Wishing you a safe journey.
