8-18-16 Thursday Weigh-In..Summer Oh Summertime!

Summer Oh Summertime

Some people have a reason to WHINE

Fire, Floods, Hot Weather TOO

Hope none of this is happening to YOU

Prayers and Good Thoughts that you ALL

Are Safe and Sound and have someone to Call

Wish you all a Summertime Weigh-In THURSDAY

That means no gains and at least a stay the same TODAY

Loss's is what we really want we all KNOW

But Summertime makes it hard to sometimes say NO

Seems like everyone doing/trying their BEST

Just have to keep trying till we get 100% on our TEST

Wasn't away because I wanted too.

My "sweet computer" just decided to break down.

Took this long to get a tower. Never get anything

when "they" say you will.

Just been holding own on weight, need to lose!

Starting meetings, paperwork on my mother, changing to my

name ect., nothing is easy. Saying Thank you to my father

for looking ahead and leaving me the money after my mother

was gone.

I don't always remember where everyone lives but again I hope

none of you are having any problems with floods or fires.

Hope to see a "bunch" of you on here for weigh-in day!

Glad you're back, Belle, and taking care of business. Too bad about your computer but getting a new one is nice because they improve so much in just a few years. I got a little arrogant after last week's 1.5 loss and ate three big meals out - Thursday, Friday and Monday. And they took their toll as I gained back 1 pound - up to 192.5. After looking at those sleek young men and women at the Olympics I wonder how do they have the will power to get themselves into such great shape and maintain it? That amazes me. So I'm going to try harder this week - no more self-indulgent big meals. I hope everyone did better than I did.

Hi all!

Belle ~ nice to have you back in fine form!:D We've been having a drought up here which is of concern to the farmers but we finally got some rain Tuesday.

CruisermanVA ~ I was pretty sure I'd be up this week too for the same reason but low & behold I'm down 1.6 lbs but having lunch out today & tomorrow. Maybe the heat & humidity are offsetting the eating.

Have a good week.

~ Jo ~ :)

Hello Friends,

Belle, nice that you are here. Glad you are ok. Staying the same is ok.

Good news. I lost 2 lbs. I am, well, shocked...........we went to a BBQ over the weekend. Burgers, hotdogs, chips. Although I did park myself away from the buffet table......

Now I just have to keep it off. 3 weeks until cruise time for me.

Cruiserman, sorry you gained. Jo, glad you lost.

We live about 1.5 hours from the Clayton fire in Lower Lake but no ill effects for us.

Good luck to everyone this week.

Diana

Hi all,

Good to see you all.

I was actually was able to log in on a regular weigh in day. I thought I would be up after vacation and then eating out earlier this week but nope still holding steady at 134. I am hoping to lose more 70 days until cruise. The next 30 days I do not have a lot of work but the 30 after that I will not be home much working a lot. And then I will only have 1 week to get my cruise packing done and everything in order.

Wishing you all the best and lots of weight loss.

My wife joined Weight-Watchers today. I'm hoping that will lead to less frequent visits to our local restaurants.

But sorry only four of you, you all seem

to be doing pretty well. Sure it's because you

come in all the time. I have to keep posting,

I need to do better. Have a Good Weekend!

Cruiserman. .Know you'll lose next week.

You been doing so good. That will be a help with

wife watching her diet.

Jo.. Good loss this week. Glad your having a

little rain with the drought. Just don't get to much

at once.

Diana.. Great loss to have before cruise in three weeks.

Glad the fire isn't giving you smoke problems.

Carabop.. Great you stayed the same after vacation.

That's big win.

WHERE IS EVERYONE ELSE? MISS YOU ALL!

Thank you Belle,

I have been trying to go by the rule more has to go out then in. I think I did pretty good this week all except one day I ate a whole Big piece of cake my myself. The last couple days pretty much just fruits and veggies.

Are you having a Good Weekend?

Hope so.

Anyone doing anything exciting? I'm not.

Shootr, Rose and all others..

Where Are You?

Wish we all would get in the habit to talk during

the week and say how we're doing.

What we are doing good even saying when we're

doing not as good.

We could come in with tips advice ect. Might help

us in our weight loss.

They say breakfast is the most important meal of

the day. I think it is if going to school or working.

But for me as a stay at home, it's better for me not

to eat. If I eat breakfast I want more food during the

day. So eating two meals a day seems to work better for me.

What works for you?

Hi all!

Belle ~ I've always eaten breakfast, even if I was running late for work. I don't think I've ever missed a meal, lol! I've had 3 lunches out so far this week with another tomorrow after our Church anniversary service (139 years) plus I bought some chocolate covered almonds the other day at the chocolate factory on the bus trip so I'm probably headed up next week.:o

Hope the rest of you are behaving this weekend!;)

~ Jo ~ :)

I wasn't feeling so hot on Friday but the good news is that, by Saturday morning, my weight had dropped to 190, a 2.5 pound loss in 2 days! 36 pound total loss and only 10 pounds from my goal! I'm pretty sure my weight won't stay down there through next Thursday but it was nice to see. My wife is happy about her new Weight Watcher's plan. WW has a very helpful app for the phone that she's making use of. I'm hoping she will be successful with it.

Jo and cruiserman glad to you came in and talked.

Jo.. Glad you can eat breakfast and not want to eat more like me.

Everyone is different. Now you sound like me, buying the Choc. almonds.

Now you'll eat them. Like me buying Ice Cream...whose going to eat it?

ME!

cruiserman.. Sorry you were sick but hope the weigh tloss stays off. Your

so close to your goal. Glad your wife is enjoying WW and helping her

lose weight.

Sat. Did pretty well on eating, did very little cleaning.

Sun. Went to the casino for awhile, had fun. Then had dinner out

with my daughter.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

Sorry to have been MIA, things just haven't been clicking lately.

This morning I got up with the will to try again. Since I can't seem to sleep past 4AM anymore, something is telling me to go get on the bike and get some riding in again. I have to admit it was slow going compared to earlier this year - but sure felt better the rest of the day.

Got some good things to eat, and if I can somehow stop snacking at night, I think I might just have a chance to get back to 185 someday. I'm guessing I'm 196 or so right now, from the waistband of my clothes - but will use next Thursday as the starting point.

I found these lemon ice cups that have taken the place of dessert. Lots of coffee and tea during the day with a little lunchbox/cooler to keep my lunchmeat at a good temp as I eat a little throughout the day. Good old spicy veggie juice too.

Though it's 10 months away, we're beginning planning for a 2 week trip to Ireland, Scotland, and England next year. Plenty of other goals along the way - weddings, holidays, etc. to want to look and feel good for so will try to keep those in mind when temptation strikes.

I hope you can resist temptation. Your trip to the British Isles is a good goal to aim towards. We're looking at a possible cruise there in 2018 or 2019.

We are all trying very hard.

Breakfast....can't live without it........Try to have something healthy like oatmeal and a piece of fruit or a bran cereal.

Hubby and I go to the gym everyday and I walk for an hour also several days a week. I help hubby with his business but am mostly semi-retired.

I weighed myself this morning and keeping my 2 lb. loss off from last Thursday.

Diana

shootr.. Good to see you. 4am bike rides!

Love to hear about your exercise. We

love your pictures. I know it's hard for us

to get back on track when we go off.

You can do it. You have a great trip coming up

Diana.. Glad you can eat breakfast and not

want to eat more. When I do try, know it's good

for you, have fruit or eggs. Usually have breakfast

at times for lunch and then dinner.

You have a great exercise program too. Great on keeping

loss off. Your at goal or very close aren't you? Your

cruise in a little over two weeks? Lucky!

All when can do is keep at. It's not a diet it's a lifelong

way of life. Where would we be if we didn't. Even if we're up now,

it would be much more if not trying and coming in here each

week.

Yeah, after the kitchen and life in general, just haven't been able to get the camera out lately.

3 days in a row on the bike, I think the "habit" might just take again. Been pretty good at 1300-1500 good calories a day, no junk, barely any processed sugar, but too much brown rice last couple days.

Strayed away from My Fitness Pal and am trying the Samsung S-Health system, since I got a free smartwatch with the new phone a while back. Still learning the quirks of the interface - I like how it integrates a worthy exercise tracker into a calorie counter and step counter.

I know I went too far in the wrong direction when I have to look for "those pants" - the ones that aren't as tight as the rest...:o

Anyways, only evening snacking this week has been lemon ice cups and carefully selected Jamba Juices. Onward...

Well dome cruiserman on losing, though sorry it was for reasons of illness. No loss here. Feeling a bit fed up as I've been sticking to diet & even started couch to 5k running plan. Nothing for it but to keep going & hope for better news next week!

Hello!

I thought maybe I could just jump in! New here, well I tried this a few years back! But Im back now, just looking for some weightloss buddies! Our cruise is in May, and I more then a few pounds to loose before then! :( (70 to be exact)

Since this is a weigh-in I'm happy to say I'm down about 4lbs since I started 2 weeks ago. Also this morning I started a colon cleanse.. :eek: we'll see how this goes!

I'm happy to help and motivate!

Well done! 4lb is brilliant!

Thank you! 😆

I haven't worked this week so I spent the last few days volunteering. They go out to lunch to eat. Wonder what that will do for me? Guess we will find out tomorrow. Although yesterday and today I was only able to eat half of what I ordered. Hope that is a good sign.
