Wednesday Weigh In

ScotBird...Thank you so much.

Happy October! Down 1 from my Sept 1st weigh in...but still +6.5 for the year...January 1 is in the distance, hate it when my year over year is up...so that is my new goal.

OK it is bad news this week as I gained 3lb weighing in at 158 this morning, and I’m also 2 days late with the weigh in. Hoping and expecting better next week, as I had hip surgery last Saturday, and so have been eating a ton of amazing hospital food, whilst doing almost zero exercise and am still a bit constipated from the anaesthetic I think. Once the healing is done, I’ll be able to be much more active, so am feeling hopeful over all. Ruth Ruth, let your stress empower you, whatever works! On the other hand there’s really nothing we can do about COVID (apart from try not to catch it) so I agree it is all very tedious - I think it will always be with us and one day it will be considered the same way as flu, and we’ll be back to a more normal way of living with it. Might take a few years though.... seriously, I am sorry you are feeling stressed and hope you have a more joyful week. As they say, it is what it is

I was going to say I took your 1.5, but surprisingly I am down .5 this week.

Down .5.

ScotBird...I would love to join you in this challenge! However, do you mind posting more often (i will too). I have just been having such a hard time for a while now and my mental health is not great (i have no support and no one to lean on....my autoimmune disorder is flaring, which always takes a toll on me) and I just haven't been taking care of myself. I have also been wallowing in self pity instead of picking myself up and making a solid plan to exercise and eat well and take care of my mental and physical health. I would love to see how you are doing daily and also post myself daily.

ruthbru........That is hilarious!!!! Thank you for posting daily this week.

Scotbird....Thank you! Heading over there now.

Hi all, I'm in as best I can be...we leave tomorrow for a week at the beach cottage, but I will try! Yesterday I was good on my exercise and post dinner glass of wine and it showed this a.m. on the scale...so that was a benefit! As long as the rains from Hurrican Delta hold off, the beach is actually a good exercise place for me as I usually take a 5 mile walk and will zoom into a couple of exercise classes over the week. Happy Friday! TT

Apologies I am a day late in posting my update but amazingly I have lost 3.5lbs this week. Mindful eating seems to have worked, even though I still ate quite a lot of chocolate, cream cakes and cookies this week. I did skip dinner a few times, and I did have either bran flakes or porridge and fruit for breakfast every day, which seems to give me a really good start each day. I would like to lose 14 lbs, so will keep trying this mindfulness, only eating when I am genuinely hungry, and no emotional eating. A different way of thinking about food seems to have made a difference to me. Was 153lbs this morning.

Nice job Scotbird!!! Congratulations to you too, ruth!!

I am down 3 pounds....however....because I had been up, it isn't an overall net loss. Just losing what I had gained. Still, at least I am losing that.

late to the game down .5 for last week which makes a collective minus 9!

Well, we had a fantastic week last week didn’t we all. Well done everyone!

Unfortunately I am breaking the winning streak because I amup 2 this week but am convinced it is only temporary. I am definitely improving my habits and planning to exercise a lot more this week.

Down 1.5 Wed over Wed...a miracle. TT

Up 1.5lbs. Too much pizza and donuts...
