MOcruiserman Posted September 1, 2016 #2 Share Posted September 1, 2016 HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLE! Have fun on your birthday - eat a (small) piece of cake! As far as age is concerned, you know the expression age is just a number? It's true to a degree. While I'd love to be 10 years younger there's a photo of myself prominently displayed in the house that shows a younger me, smartly dressed in a suit and tie, but with a square, puffy face. I was 240 pounds at that point and I hope never to go there again. This morning I was (ta da) back to 190, 2 pounds less than last week. Next stop (I hope), the 180's!

winewanderer Posted September 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hello, Belle, Happy Birthday. I hope it's a wonderful day. My birthday is this Sunday, 9/4. Always means dinner and lunches out. I lost 1 lb. I think that is now all the weight I gained on our vacation in April. So quick to come on, so long to get off........ Cruise time for me next week but I'll be around to weigh in next Thursday. Cruiserman, great loss. You've done so well. Congrats. Have a good week everyone.

nursedibdob Posted September 1, 2016 #4 Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Happy birthday Belle [emoji512][emoji324]. 1lb off this week. But expect to gain it soon as I'm off on Celebrity Eclipse on Saturday! Will be working hard when I return to get fit though as my big plan for next year when I hit the big 5 0 is to climb mount Etna Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Edited September 1, 2016 by nursedibdob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuppermal Posted September 2, 2016 #6 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Happy Birthday Belle! I am new to CC and to the group! We sail in December, and I am hoping to lose another 30 lbs. before then. I am down 16 since mid-July, and 1.6 since last week!:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hook Mom Posted September 2, 2016 #7 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hey, everyone...I'm new(ish), too! (I posted once a few months ago, but now that we have an actual cruise BOOKED, I have more direction.) I'm doing the Dietbet thing where you pay money, commit to losing 4% of your weight in four weeks and get a percentage of the community pot if you make it. I just want to keep banging out one after another for many, many months! Okay...back to getting the Middle School kid ready for school next week.

Belle Posted September 3, 2016 Author #10 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Everyone out and about or home like me? Been out last three days so will stay home this three day holiday and stay out of the traffic. Hope everyone is doing good. Come in and talk if home, missing some of you this week..shootr, Rose and others. Come in even if gaining or not in mood to diet by coming in just might keep you staying the same or not gaining much. Gained a little with my birthday cakes and food, to get it off plus more. My body fighting me or is it my mind? Take care be safe out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hook Mom Posted September 4, 2016 #11 Share Posted September 4, 2016 No vacation for me--we have a buyer for our house (yaaaaaaaaay!) and I'm going through all the crap in the basement. I've been tracking my food this week--which I never do for long--and I think it's really helping. Just reinforcing things that I already know...mainly, that if I eat the calories that I burn, but no more, on a "bad" day that I'll continue to lose weight consistently. Duh!!! Have a great weekend, everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winewanderer Posted September 5, 2016 #14 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I went for an hour long walk around my neighborhood today. We are 2 blocks from a regional park, it's so nice walking there. Hubby and I went to a Chinese buffet last night. Had crab legs, shrimp, sushi. Hoping I didn't gain......

Belle Posted September 6, 2016 Author #15 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hope your weather and food eating were both good. Red.. Great on tracking your food. Congrats on buyer for your house. Where are you moving too> Cruiserman.. Where do you want to move to? Hope when ready to sell it goes fast. Diana.. Hope you had a nice walk in the park. Nice to have a big park close. Hope no gain from Chinese food, sometimes salty. Hoping now that summer is over that friends will start coming back in here. And more new friends will come in. WELCOME EVERYONE!

Red Hook Mom Posted September 6, 2016 #16 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Belle--we're staying in the same town...did a big renovation on an old house and we've already moved into it. But left a lot of things in the basement and shed of the old house. Sigh. Daughter's first day of school is tomorrow (seventh grade) so MUCH to do here. And I ate everything in the house yesterday, sadly. Today will be better. Have a good day, everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted September 6, 2016 #17 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm like a broken record, miserable fails all weekend - again. Got 55 miles on the bike over the weekend, couple sessions on the elliptical, swimming with and chasing the grandkids all weekend, and still weighed in at 199 this morning. So, I have 10 weeks before my daughter in laws wedding - so if that doesn't snap me into discipline I don't know of what will. Glad to hear others are doing well and at least checking in regularly - I'll try do do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted September 7, 2016 Author #18 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Red. That sounds like a lot of work but I bet it's beautiful. Did get the other cleaned out and sold this weekend. shootr.. Good to see you back. Don't leave us. WE all know how hard it is to eat right at times (or all the time) You sure do a lot of exercise don't know how you do it Should lose some weight with that. I'm trying to write during the week to keep me remembering that I need to eat better and try to get exercise. If we all write during the week gives us something to read and get ideas. Like shootr doing all that exercise, then why can't I do a little. I have to do something, I use to be able to lose pretty good now I just stay the same. To you find it harder to lose now for some reason? Why because..........We're Older, working more, can't give up sweets or carbs, depressed, family?
