Wednesday Weigh In

Down 1.6 lbs at WW meeting on Monday. Total loss of 8 lbs. I am still wearing my size 14 clothes but the waistbands of the shorts are looser and comfortable. I hate wearing tight clothes. And when I look at my side view in the mirror, I don't look like a 75 year-old woman who's slightly pregnant! Stomach much flatter.

Six lbs away from goal weight and free WW meetings.

Congrats Carole! I know what you mean about clothes fitting better. I find I undo my pants buttons far less than I used too At WW this morning, up 1.8 to 151.4. Last week I had just dipped below 150 for the first time, but I looked back at my weight since May and I've been up and down, hovering around 151. Still 11.4 lbs from goal of 140, but have lost 11 lbs since I started in March. These last 11 lbs are going to be tough for sure.

I am down 1.2 lb. I will take it. I also bob around the same range for a long time and then after about 3 weeks my range gets lower ever so slightly. I am not suffering too much so Iwill just keep up the method of eating healthy food but not starvng all the time. Yes its so hard to lose the closer you get and the older you get!

Falconer - the down time after a surgery is hard! Then if you have any "crap" to go along with the after. I have a hard time allowing myself time to bounce back...You will be bouncing along soon!

Found a new WW group meeting to go to - I'm on a local WW facebook group, and many on there keep raving about their groups and one particular leader. Not knowing if my current leader is on the facebook group, I private messaged the new leader to see where and when she has meetings. It's 30 minutes farther for me, but it is silly for me to pay the WW fee and not go to meetings, just weigh in. So I'm off to a new group that I hope will inspire me to lose the last 11 lbs. Very happy to have lost 11 - I'm starting to break out the "skinny" clothes again, it's a good feeling.

Bella- my hips and thighs love to hang on to extra weight so I'm with you...got to watch what I eat always.

I tell my DH nothing taste as good as I feel. (Meaning no muffin top!)

Down 1.1kg. BMI 29.9, overweight, no longer obese, yippee! 🎉 I carry my weight around my belly, very dangerous I've reduced my fat target as I've just started using a new app called KetoDiet, and I used their calculator. It doesn't have much info on micronutrients at all, but they have heaps of keto recipes and they use ur camera to record the info from barcodes on food, which saves a lot of time inputting the data of brands not already in there. I'll stick with it for a while and see if it meets my needs. I'm also looking at buying a breath keto monitor to check that I'm in ketosis.

I'm virtually back at the gym doing what I was doing before surgery and radiotherapy now, but I've lost a lot of fitness. But challenging myself is the only way to improve, so I'm pleased to be able to do this. I'm still having back pain so swapping out some exercises.

Hope everyone has a good week, I'm off to lunch today and gonna eat what I fancy, 😊 oh well I'll be back on keto tomorrow!

Busy week with the grandkids. Oncologist appointment on Monday and I'm down to 142!! So excited to see the numbers going down even if it is slowly! Oncologist told me I looked great and it's those reinforcements that keep me moving toward my goal of 130-135.

Bug round of applause for everyone who is staying at this weight loss journey. Even of the scales do not show a loss our bodies are feeling and looking better!

Let's do this!

Down .5 this morning, but still above where it should be. SIL is coming for a visit this weekend, the house is being painted, and DH is having heart problems. They're trying to get him in for a pacemaker today or tomorrow. My fingers are crossed until that happens.

Forgot to get my weight this morning but I was the same as last week on Monday. Next week will be a new start of sorts (1st day of retirement), so I’ll be spending more time at the gym and cooking.

Congrats to all the losers. I was going to name everyone but as I double checked, I see nearly everyone had a productive week, good job!

Sounds like everyone had a good week. i am exactly the same but fairly happy with that because I did eat out over the weekend so its good to know if I choose the right foods i will at least maintain. However I know to lose more I have to eat at home.

Congrats on your retirement Illimae. I am sure if I had more hours to exercise and cook that it would be easier. Now you can focus on you.

Wren I amhoping everything goes well for your husband.

Hi everyone, I’m on holiday so no weigh in until 9th August for me. I’m trying to make healthy choices but the ice cream here is very delicious and the wine is also good. I spent a few days in Dubrovnik, which features in Game of Thrones as Westeros. It’spossibly the most beautiful city I’ve ever visited. Lot’s of tourists, but not too spoiled for all that.

Now I’m on an island up the Dalmatian coast. Also beautiful and very relaxing. We are 9 teeenagers and 4 adults sharing a holiday rental house and self catering so quite a lot of logistics required! I love all the supportive comments here. We are all doing really well to keep focused on our health and fitness. Great job everyone!

Bella alternate day fasting always seems to work well for me. On the eating days I eat a lot, exactly what I want but on the other,fasting days I am strict, and maybe eat only a couple of apples or oranges, and that’s it. Whatever seems to work... love and light to you all. X

Congrats Illimae! You will love being retired.

What a cutie pie Falconer.

Wren, hope all is well with DH.

Scotbird, enjoy your holiday.

Still mindfully eating, we are going away next week camping for a few days, always go off plan on vacation, but try to make up for it with lots more walking than normal.

WW weigh in yesterday afternoon. I'm up to 168.8, a 1.2 gain from my last MN weigh in, but a bigger gain from my Louisiana weigh in when I was down to 166. So I need to exercise and eat healthy and reverse this trend.

Despite the gain, dh and I ate at Dave's Pizza after the meeting in Bemidji, a 45 minute drive. Pizza is such a treat, and Dave's serves good pizza with the crust of your choice. And I had a cold glass of Coor's Light. Today I'll be playing 18 holes of golf.

I'm not down on myself because I did pretty well under the circumstances not to gain 5 lbs or more the last three weeks when I spent two weeks at home in Louisiana visiting my mother daily in the nursing home. There were lots of bought meals and very little activity.

Wishing us all success and a happy lifestyle.

Maintaining again this week but it’s better than gaining. Today is the 1st day of my leave/retirement, so I plan on spending more time cooking healthy and going to the gym, hopefully that will result in some weight loss too.
