11-30-23 Thursday Weigh-In--One Month To A New Year

[Belle]

Last weigh-in of November 

Then it's December

 

Then a whole New Year

Will you be here--(hope new people too)

 

Since December is the Holiday Month

Everyone Try to go through it Without A Gain

 

A Loss would be the Best

But Staying the Same would be better than a Gain

 

If by chance you have a Gain

Let it be Small and you get it Off Fast (should be small since you're trying to eat less)

 

So on January 4th (weigh-in day) We can Celebrate

That We can say We did Great

 

Sorry I didn't come in after starting the thread but see others didn't either. (busy or on cruises)

Ear still not 100%, Thanksgiving and would have been my anniversary, always get sad for a while. 

Miss my husband He would have loved all these cruises I'm taking.

 

Hope everyone is having a good holiday season so far. Izena on a cruise now, I think. Solo going

on one soon. Sorry don't remember when others are going. Wishing that everyone's weather

stays nice. No big storms or anything like that.

 

Oh, I forgot to say, happily. no gain on my 30-day cruise but on 2-day Thanksgiving food gained 

a pound but got it off. Does that make sense, 30-day verses a 2 day? Cruises are good for me.😊

Good morning Belle.  Thanks for starting the week.  Cruised last week.  There were 11 of us.  The 10 year old got sick the second day of the cruise and was isolated until Friday.   My TN  son and DIL had problems getting in their room the whole week neither the medallion nor a keycard worked.  Regardless we had a good cruise.  I didn’t walk as much was in a  mood.

 

still haven’t weighed. No sense yet I’m still out of control.  Too many health issues.  Hematologist and retinal specialist will release me if nothing changes in 6 mos.   Need cataract surgery.  Bp still out of control — etc.  so I’ve been eating my stress.  I think my brain is ready to get back on track I know I have at least 25 lbs to lose.   
 

the weather has been great for walking so have been increasing the distance.  Jazzper (dog) is still doing okay - had 2 nightmares on the ship that he died. Both times I woke up sobbing uncontrollably  he’s 15 - will probably li ve to be 20 just to stress me.

Good Morning all - Thanks for starting the posting Belle - sorry your ear is still bothering you.  I know that missing people is very difficult, but I'm sure he is looking down and is enjoying seeing all the cruises!!! 

 

Izena sorry that you are still having health issues.  Glad Jazzper is ok - hate dreams that are scary, they always seem so real.  I understand about eating stress ... I seem to have a problem with that also.  Yesterday I got out a container of ice cream and ate 1/2 of it.  Not a good thing.  Wasn't even hungry.

 

I stayed the same this week .... but last week I gained 0.8#.  I would love to lose 10# before our March cruise .... but, somehow I have to stop eating ice cream.

 

Hope everyone has a wonderful week.  Jan

Hello everyone,

 

We had a good Thanksgiving holiday. I gained and then lost over the past 2 weeks...so as of the last time I posted, I've had a net loss of .8 lbs. It seems that since the weather has gotten colder and it gets dark so early, I want to eat all evening! But so far I'm maintaining, which is my goal for now.

 

Belle, it is odd how that works! I'm glad you got the pound right back off. Hope your ear improves soon.

 

Izena, good for you to increase walking! I need to do that as well...it's just so darn cold!

 

Jan, oopsie with the ice cream - I can so easily see myself doing the same thing! Why do I eat when I'm not even hungry??? So annoying.

 

Have a great week, all - Christmas is coming soon! *Most* of my shopping is done...I think! 🙂

Well as of last night I finished moving my business out of its 1000sqft commercial space. I can’t wait to be sitting on the plane tomorrow able to start decompressing from such a crazy month. I’ve been staying at my parents for a few days so didn’t weigh in yesterday but from Thursday to Tuesday I lost 1lb. The goal I had set I didn’t quite reach but honestly I am still really happy with my weight loss week after week and am not complaining.

 

i hope everyone has a great few weeks. I probably won’t be checking in as much while I cruise but hopefully will come back with the good news that I didn’t gain any weight.

SoloAlaska - I hope you have a total blast on your cruise - Enjoy every minute!!  Jan

Good Afternoon everyone. Still here, will write more later.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Hi Belle - We had a lovely weekend - went down to the Bar Harbor area and walked around town and did some shopping (for Christmas).  It was a nice weekend!  Didn't eat too much either!  Jan

[Belle]

Seems like we're all trying to do our best at this holiday time.

Trying not to gin at least stay the same.

 

Izena sorry your still having problems with your health. Glad Jazzper doing good

 

Jan glad you had a good weekend. (ice cream is my downfall too)

 

Terri nice job with a loss and almost done Christmas shopping done.

 

Solo sorry missed saying Bon Voyage to you. Know you'll have a good time.

 

I'm OK , ear better. I just don't want to do anything. Tell myself you can do it tomorrow.

Quite a few tomorrows have passed but did a few things today. (very few) I'll get with it.

Don't like winter cold and getting darker earlier. Had the "munchies" for a few days.

Have to stop that. Need to stop some things and get going on other things!🙃😀

Hello friends, new and old! I'm back after a 3 or 4 year hiatus. Nice to see some familiar names still posting and it was great to read one of Belle's poems.

 

I will read through some posts to catch up on a bit of news I have missed.

 

I have two cruises currently booked, one for Sept 24, and one for Sept 25 and I have a lot of weight to lose. I battled breast cancer May 23 and I am now on some nasty pills that have made the weight creep up and up. Plus we moved and hubby semi-retired so he likes to putter in the kitchen and all the extra food I've been eating is not helping either. Looking forward to being held accountable for weekly weigh ins again and hope to lose with you all.

Welcome back RobinCruiser!  These boards are good at keeping us accountable 

 

Sounds as if you have had a lot going on.  There are others also that have battled breast cancer and we are always here to support others.  I am now on an anti-estrogen pill that is a pain - At 71 I am having hot flashes and night sweats again!  Jan

Thanks for the warm welcome back Jan! 

 

Sounds like we are on a similar path. I'm on an anti-estrogen pill too. I'm not having the hot flashes and night sweats again but it has changed my personality somewhat. I find that I have no interest in a lot of things that I took pleasure in previously like sewing and crafting, exercise etc and I will cry at the drop of a hat. DH and I have started daily walks through the park so hopefully this will help with some weight loss. 

 

Looking forward to catching up with everyone!
