Wednesday Weigh In

Up 1 to 130.5. Told DH to get Reeses Peanutbutter Cups for Halloween because I don't like them. He got enough candy for an army. Fortunately, most of it is stuff I don't like and I can take it to the shelter and senior center for sharing.

Up a pound to 155 - hmmm - that's up 2 weeks in a row, not a good sign.  Have gotten back to exercising, and trying to control my intake of all those wonderful fall comfort foods.  I will try to be good this week and hope to show the same weight or less.

down one more!

Well, I gained those 2 lbs, so now you know where they went. I'm up to 132.5.

Very happy to report that I'm down 2 (no decimal in front of it either!). I guess exercising and not cheating on the diet DOES work!

Ok think I'll officially join all of you, lost 1 over the past week - 8 more to go to goal! I'm honestly right now just relieved that at least my work has halted the "tamoxifen 15" I was rapidly packing on. I have never gained weight this easily in my life. Ick.

Down 1.5 to 131. Have yearly with PCP on 12/02 and would love to be in the 20's for that. Hard to do so close to thanksgiving tho.

Same, but I'll take it!

Have a great week, everyone .

down 2 more.....I have been logging everything on loseit.com......and that (plus the exercise) works for me as long as I am honest and consistant (hard and hard!)

Down .5 to 130.5.

Carole, You're so right. Losing those pounds is like housework - repetitious.

Patoo, I have my annual general physical tomorrow too! The truth comes out, THAT is why we have both been being so good!

You can do it, patoo!

I also recently had a check-up and reaped a big benefit from maintaining my weight: My onc told me I could delay having a scan until January because I was feeling well and not gaining weight. Any zaps I can spare myself from is a biggie. Then he told me I should take metformin if I have problems with excess holiday calories. As I don't want to be taking metformin, this is my signal to either lose preemptively or keep my jaw shut until January. As I don't think I can do the latter, I'll be weighing in again here, maybe even daily. Lol. I lost 100 grams since yesterday.

Patoo, My DD has had great results from limiting carbs. We're looking for low carb recipes for Thanksgiving.

Patoo, one of my aunts was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes  (interestingly she was also a BC survivor, so maybe there is a connection). She was 'pleasantly plump' and LOVED to bake all the different goodies we so all enjoy. Upon her diagnosis, she quit eating the goodies cold turkey (she must have had an iron will because she continued to bake them for her little, skinny husband and others too), lost enough weight so that she was in the low end of her correct BMI, and was able to ditch medications entirely. She lived to the ripe old age of 88 without any more problems with diabetics, or breast cancer either. So the good news is that Type 2 Diabetics really should respond well to weight loss and diet change. When you meet with a nutritionist, show him/her the loseit app. I think it could help you with your tracking. I know there is a 'premium' app that costs money. Maybe check out what the entails & see if that might be helpful as well.

Still holding steady at 136.
