Izena - I'm so sorry for everything you have gone through. Hope everything gets better!!! HopefulCruiser123 - good that you are holding steady! I am going to wait a week before I weigh myself. Hope everyone has a nice week. Jan

Belle - So far I am not sick, so I think I am going to be ok. Butterscotch is cool. We've decided that her name will be Maggie (as long as it fits). All I have done since being home is eat!!!! Jan

PS - Forgot to add that we are getting a puppy .... they were born about 5 days ago (labs) and we will be getting a yellow female .... Just having a difficult time coming up with a name ... any ideas? I am so excited - it has been over 2 years since we have had a fur baby.!!!! Jan

Good evening - we arrived home this afternoon ... had a wonderful time and enjoyed spending time with family. My DS unfortunately came home with covid (so far no one else is positive - I will test in a few days). I did a lot of walking, but also had a few (or more) drinks daily and dessert. I will weigh myself on Thursday. Now need to lose weight for our cruise in July to Norway and the Fjords.

Welcome Cathy - we are always here and all are willing to be a cheerleader for others ... hope you lose some before your cruise. When is your cruise? Jan

Shoot! That would have been so cool. I do hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise .... we need to plan a time to meet up in the future .... All the best to you! Jan

Izena - Hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise! Jan

Belle - Enjoy your cruise. Izena - congratulations on the loss and that your blood pressure is under control. I am here with 2 kids and it has been fun, but interesting!!! I have been eating anything and everything since Sunday ... might weigh myself tomorrow ... think I am up. We leave next Thursday for our cruise and will be back on the 11th. Hope all have a good week. Jan

Good afternoon everyone!!! I did weigh myself this morning and I am down 1.8# I am very happy ... I saw my oncologist 2 weeks ago and talked to her about my kids saying that they believe I have alzheimer's as I have been repeating myself and asking the same questions over again. The doctor decided to take me off the anti-estrogen for a few weeks as it is known for causing dementia symptoms. I can now remember why I went upstairs and I know where I left my glasses, etc. They are changing the prescription to something else. Hopefully that one works well. I didn't answer questions from last week - On Sunday my daughter leaves for a 5 day cruise with her DH and without kids ... We will have the kids. Then on the 29th we leave for Nola for a few nights and then on a Western Caribbean (Roatan, Costa Maya, Cozumel and Harvest Caye on NCL with our son, his DH and his mother-in-law. Looking forward to it - they are a lot of fun to go cruising with! Hope everyone has a good day. Izena ... hopefully you will have a better loss next week. Jan

Belle, I am having my youngest over for a early dinner/late lunch on Sunday .... We will be doing our "on-line check-in" I'm so excited about this cruise. After dinner and when they leave DH & I will be watching the superbowl - I will try to be better at posting .... Jan

Good Morning Belle - Hope you are having a good time. I remembered to weigh myself this morning and I have stayed the same. Better than not gaining! Hope everyone has a good week. Jan

Terri - glad you had a good time with your daughter and that your lunch was worth it!!!! I am spending Saturday with my daughter shopping as her birthday present ... we will do lunch. (she is doing weight watchers, so I think our lunch will be good point wise. They are going on a cruise without their kids in a few weeks (I wonder who has the kids for a week?) Yikes - Jan

Wow Solo Alaska you are doing so well - 5" is amazing. I did weigh myself yesterday and I am down 2.4# this week (most is weight that I had gained since the first of the year ... but will try to keep up a weekly loss - we leave for our cruise in 4 weeks!). Jan

Good Morning - I guess everyone is busy (Belle must be having a great time on her cruise)! Thought I would start this thread with hopes that others join in. Jan

Izena - So glad you are doing better and that the surgery went well. Jan

Thanks for starting the thread Belle - Glad you are having a good time on your cruise. my kids mama - nice that clothes are fitting better - Hope you have a wonderful time on your cruise - I have never been to New Zealand and Australia - You'll have to let us know how your cruise goes. I just love pasta carbonara ... that would be my downfall also. Weighed myself this morning (amazing that I remembered). I am the same as I was the last time - so I am happy (I had some chocolate one day). Jan

I finally weighed myself this morning and I am down 1.4# from the last time I weighed - but I am still up 2# from the end of December. At least it is now going down! Jan

RobinCruiser - nice that you didn't gain! We are warming up here too it is now 3 degrees F. We have snow here also. I'm looking forward to going on a cruise in March and having warm weather! Jan

As usual didn't weigh myself this morning - I had to go have a bone density test .... just to see if there are any changes - I'm not worried. Izena - getting a letter from IRS can be panicky! For many years (20?) I did volunteer tax through the them. It was great giving back to the community. I stopped doing them when covid hit and I started noticing that my brain is changing .... the pitfalls of getting older! Hope everyone had a good week. Jan

Sorry SoloAlaska that you got sick ... hate when that happens! Glad you are ok now. Jan

RobinCruiser - congratulations on losing weight - 3# is wonderful. I went to a weight watchers meeting once and it wasn't what I wanted. I find that I do the best if I just count my calories and then stop when I reach my daily amount. I just can't seem to get motivated to really do it! Izena - glad you posted and that you are doing a little better. Good that your dog still wants to walk. I've never had any side effects from the bp meds I take ... hope you get that worked out (and your cataract surgery works out well). The weather in Maine sucks! But, so does the weather in most part of the states. We are having a snow storm right now, but they say it will turn over to rain with higher winds. So many people have lost shingles, etc. The only thing that is nice is that it isn't getting dark here until after 4:15. Looking forward to spring! Jan

Belle, thanks for starting the thread. Hope you are having a blast on your cruise and enjoying the casino. I will weigh myself tomorrow. My daughter has started weight watchers (they have a cruise in 5 weeks). hopefully I can follow suit on getting my motivation up!!! Hope everyone had a good week. Jan

Belle - glad you are enjoying your cruise. I hate having to change cabins, but it is better than having to leave the ship!!! Hope you are winning! Izena - glad you checked in - sorry about the roof. Hope that everything goes will for you and for jazzper. Jan

So I weighed myself today and I am horrified that I seem to have gained 3.4# this week ..... I'm hoping that it is mostly water weight --- we will see what next week brings. Jan

Sorry all that there wasn't a post for this week before now - Feel free to post on the new thread. Congratulations to all (RobinCruiser and JustUs275) on staying the same. Please join in on the new thread for the week. Jan
