10-27=16 Thursday Weigh-In.. A Warning!

Ghosts and Goblins are on their way

Guess what there here EVERYDAY

Whispering in your ear, EAT that cake

If you don't your a flake

EAT that wonderful candy

It's on the table.. so handy

Potato and bread can't be that BAD

If you don't eat them you'll be sad

But if we EAT all this everyday

Every Thursday what will we WEIGH

So Ghosts and Goblins leave us alone EVERYDAY alright

Just go and scare people on you one night.. HOLLOWEEN

Good morning.

Time to buy Halloween candy. This could be a major problem for me as I love candy, especially candy with nuts. My wife prefers chocolate so together we'll eat almost everything.

Today I was happy to see another loss - 1 1/2 pounds to 182. If my pattern holds I'll be lucky to maintain that weight until next Thursday (especially considering Halloween temptations).

I hope everyone is doing OK.

Hello,

Belle, cute poem.

PS, I saw your question about my China trip next month. It is 7 days touring and a 5 day cruise down the Yangyze river. Hubby and I have wanted to do that. We went to China in 2008 but didn't do the Yangtze cruise.

I also saw you are taking a 25 day cruise soon. That is fabulous.

I stayed the same. Ok.

Cruiserman, good loss.

Have a good week everyone.

Diana

So far so good for everyone - Excellent!

Thanks for the weekly kick off Belle, I'm fortunate that the missus has found a new hiding place for snacks (and Halloween candy) and I've yet to discover it.

Good week, lots of miles on the elliptical, steady eating, and down 2 more to 186. (I peeked yesterday and was 185, but we had spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread and it conspired to add one back) So worth it though!

Hope everyone comes by and checks in, always like to hear about what goals are motivating people, tricks that works for them, etc.

See ya!

Wait, wouldn't that be negative 16?😆

Cruiserman.. Good loss! Maybe remembering your

loss will help in not eating the candy. You don't want

to gain it back. If by chance you do eat.. get back on

track right away.

WHY DOES CANDY TASTE SO GOOD? LOL

Diana.. Least not a gain.. right?

China.. You really liked it there? Think the cruise would

be different. I never had a desire to see China. What dates are

you going?

Yes cruising in 2 weeks. Was going because friend going, she

backed out (was doing it for her) but decided to go anyway

even thro had to pay double. (save a little had a discount)

Then another ask to go with me on 1st cruise, Mexico and

I will do Hawaii on my own. (nice will save money on 1st plus

have company) Nov. 13 to Dec 8th.

shootr.. Your doing good with your eating and exercise. Paying

off, 2 lbs lost. Nice your wife has a hiding place. I can hide it but

I always find it! LOL I should never buy it.. now being a school night

and suppose to rain don't think we will get many kids.

My tip for trying to be good is to always have salad fixing's and

eggs around. Can make something quick to eat if I don't have

something planned for dinner.

Ok what's does the rest of you have for tips to lose.

I'm still missing people in here. The old timers and the ones

who have joined us the last few months. WE want everyone to become

old timers and come in every week!

We need to come in each week.. keep ourselves accountable and try

to lose and even if we gain.. if we didn't come in.. just think

could be more of a gain, especially since the HOLIDAY MONTHS ARE

COMING!

Where's the confessional?

Nah, just ticked at myself because I caved this weekend and enjoyed too much partying.

Way too much...

So today is a little self loathing and back to my regular habits.

Hopefully you all did better (honestly, unless you held a Mediterranean food truck hostage and forced them to cook 40 hours straight - then you should have)...

I weighed in but forgot to post!

Down another pound this week - that makes 3.5 so far. sloooow loss, but at least a loss! I only have 6 weeks left before cruise, so probably won't make my "A" goal of 15 lbs. But I can still make my "B" goal of 10 lbs.

Cruiserman: Fantastic loss! Stay strong today (Halloween)

Diana: no weight gain is a ++++

shootr: nice loss! don't go looking for those snacks :)

Belle: How did your friend enjoy their Vista cruise??

Ok, Everyone. Entering the hardest time of year to lose.... STAY STRONG!

Remember "closed lips means no candy weight on hips"

Just made that up.. LOL!

shootr.. I told you to watch out for the ghosts and goblins..

didn't I? They really sneak up on you! But good part your

back on track today.. That's what matter's!

June.. They liked the cruise and ship. They had a regular

room where the others had the kid part. They join them and

ate breakfast when in port at family place. Regular breakfast

stuff. Not crowded but was off season only about 100 kids

and this cruise was mostly port days.

June your doing good on your weight loss. Remember whatever

you lose before cruise you'll be less than you are right now be it

3 lbs or 10.

June, good loss. I know you will reach your goals.

Shootr, must let loose once in a while........

Belle, we leave on Thanksgiving day, return Dec. 5th. Honestly, hubby is more of a China fan than I am. It was on my bucket list and was interesting. We walked the Great Wall, saw the Chinese Acrobats, Tiananmen Sq. etc. The price was so cheap. We saw this special for this trip and again it's so cheap.

Some of the best street food I've had in all my life was in Shanghai. There was this fried bread thing with meat in it and other stuff inside. It was so yummy. I could have eaten 20 of them. Don't know what the meat was...........

The trip you are going on, friend or no, sounds fabulous. You will enjoy I know.

Have a safe Halloween.

Diana

1 small tootsie roll... and a cigar

Diana.. Glad you enjoy China. I think it would be

interesting to climb the Great Wall. The history, the

sights. I would be afraid to eat the street food there.

That would be the problem not knowing what the meat was!

Happy you found great food.

My 2nd cruise leaves the same day as you but I come

back Dec. the 8th.

shootr.. You made good choices except the smell of the

cigar! LOL
