Wednesday Weigh In

TT, I get it. Trips are essential for weight maintenance. 

TH, wine should be number 1 on the list. This from a non-Parisian but it's only about 4 hours away by train. Generally, I think Europeans get a lot more walking done unless you're Danish or Dutch, then you are probably on 2 wheels. I am mostly on my bike as well but when in Paris, I love walking.

I gained a kilo last week after DH's birthday and have lost half of it now.

Down 1.5. Didn't have a bunch of salt last night which really helps. Not getting any exercise because of the snow and cold.

Varga, love your reference of not participating in ice cream shenanigans! In my case it's decaf latte shenanigans I have stopped. We would have one almost every night.

One week on my “Parisian Diet", or should I say lifestyle. I lost .8 lb. I believe I owe this mostly to not snacking between meals, because this was the biggest change I made and followed consistently. I had to learn to eat sufficient dinner to not snack at night. I did exercise every day but don't have more minutes in the week than I normally did. So far I have failed miserably at “cooking at home" which I intended to do five days. Too many lunch invitations at work. The week was pretty painless and I didn't feel I was eating less, so if I could continue to lose weight this way, I would be happy.

Same as last week...this was a week of medical appts...good mammogram, yeah. Bone Density down another 5%, boo, that makes 20% down total after 3 year years on Arimidex, ugh. Yesterday had my 6 month MO appt and he will have me stop the Arimidex, flush it out of my system and then see him in two months to discuss/start Tamoxifen. TT

Up .5. Happy it's not more. Being snowbound and bored really made me want to eat.

Stayed the same. 151 lbs.

up .5...have been eating my dried plums, but can't blame to gain on them...cold and sleety in Virginia, ugh.

I will probably weigh in on the weekend since I forget during the week. I am back up a pound and not really sure why because I haven’t been eating that much. I have been fighting a cold with a lot of chicken soup (salty?) and mango orange smoothies, which do have a lot of sugars even if it is fruit sugar only. We will see what next week brings.

We are on a big road trip across US. Currently in Tucson. Just weighed myself (yes, I brought my scale on the trip!). 146, which is up a bit from when we left in mid January, but still under 150 so I am thrilled!

Not too bad, Pat! for a road trip.

Congrats,TT.

My eating has been less than stellar and exercise has suffered. Still not feeling right and stressed all week. Down .6 lb. I will take it in these circumstances.

I am up quite a few lbs this morning.

Up .5. Keeping weight down is hard.

TT- I'm so jealous enjoy your break!

I haven't gotten on the scales today yet. I'm waiting to pick my GS up and school and thought I would peek at the thread. I've had a sinus head ache for 5 or 6 days now. I finally gave in and start an antibiotic last night when my head was throbbing. 2 dosea and I already feel better.

I have lost 25 pounds while taking Tamoxifen. I am trying to lose 10 more. If it doesn't happen I guess that's ok to. I was in a 10 and just bought a pair of jeans size 6. I'm eating healthy and exercising so I'm winning even if I'm stuck at 137!

I have been piling on a lot of weight and not been checking in here. I’m going to try harder. 155lbs today. Going to try to eat vegan for the whole of March. X

I like that fasting reminde, Varga. Congrats on your weight loss. I keep hoping to lose about 10 to 15 pounds to be my before pregnancy self. I have to remind myself the proper focus is health and to continue improving eating habits and exercise.

TT, hopefully all the walking will give you a pleasant surprise.

This was not a great week for me. I was up 1.6lb. We had a retirement at work, plus fat tuesday so it was a week of paczkis, King’s cake, pizza, cakes, bagels and I usually am good at saying no, but was feeling stressed and I joined in. At least it did remind me that too many carbs make me feel physically bad, and the lingering side effect is cravings for sweets. Trying to get back to normal starting yesterday.
