Belle Posted August 26, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 26, 2021 The months are going so fast Why won't summer last As you can see it's getting darker at night Wishing it would stay lighter with all my might Doesn't it seem like we eat better in summer Winter so much good comfort food it's a bummer Only thing good with months not seeming to last Some of us our cruises are coming fast So whatever month it is-- eating healthy and losing some weight each day That's our goal, so it adds up to pounds lost for Weigh-In Thursdays So wishing you all had a good week That you got some weight off you seek 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger88 Posted August 26, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Its hard to evaluate this summer as I spent most of my time at home. It was a hot summer I shall say and I gained some significant amount of weight but in any case its nothing compared to the time spent on a cruise.. If I managed to have this time this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 26, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Good morning all - I weighed myself and I stayed the same this week. We had a nice dinner last night with all the family. Hope everyone had a good week. Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabaster Cruiser Posted August 26, 2021 #4 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hi All! This week was wild. My sweet dil got sick last week and tested positive for covid. Thank God she had been vaccinated. It was a mild stomach issue and coughing. Anyway we got to keep the 3month old grandson for 10 days! Now I know why God does not let old women have children. He is a chunk of love but Very heavy. Doing all the weight lifting I did loose 1.5 pounds this week. He went home yesterday. I called them and told her I needed to borrow him for one more week for another good loss! During the week we got another casino offer from Celebrity and booked Another cruise. We now have our first on Sept 11. Time to start packing......Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 26, 2021 #5 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Susan - We have a 1 month old grandson - love holding him, but, like you said very heavy - not sure how I held my kids when they were little, love him, ... but have to switch off with DH, the arms just won't take the weight! Glad your DIL had a mild case and the baby didn't get it! Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombud Posted August 26, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Up another 1/2" so that's +1" in August. Not too bad as its over a cruise & 1st week home (don't know why I also gain the 1st week back). Yes, those babies are heavy, Jan & Susan Welcome Roger88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 27, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Roger---Welcome. Yes join us and get some of the stay at home gain off. We kept coming in during 2020 and thru now and had loss's and not many gains. Jan---Glad you had a nice dinner with family and that be why not a loss. Maybe in the next few days. Least you didn't gain. Susan---Sorry your DD was sick. Glad she's better. You got a double blessing. Got to watch your Grandson and lose weight! Lucky you, you get to cruise in two weeks! Izena---Another good loss . You were maintaining and you lost. Medium--Good Job! Ombud---You know why the 1st week home you can gain. Is your use to eating more and different things then at home. Your body and you liked it. So 1s week home it's hard to eat less. Me---I'm down a few pounds. Everyone have a good weekend. Next weigh-in will be in Sept. Where has the year gone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_In_Maine Posted August 27, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Belle - Nice that you are down a few pounds. Beautiful day here today - humidity is down and will probably be in the high 70's. It will be fall soon! Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted August 27, 2021 Author #10 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Jan thank you. We're going to be in the 90's for a few days, then 80's then 70's. Summer is winding down. Have a good day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izena Posted August 28, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Belle thanks for this thread. Good job down lbs. boring day. Cooked weeks chicken.

Craxe77 Posted August 28, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 28, 2021 It's been a long month at work and hot days here in Vermont. Fortunately, its in the 70's today and yesterday. I lost another pound and just hit my 20 lbs lost goal so I'm motivated for more. I also notice that I'm working for every pound lost now and the easy weight is gone. I have 47 lbs to go to get to what they say is my ideal weight is (184lbs). I'll evaluate my ideal weight number when I get closer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiring soon Posted August 28, 2021 #13 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hi all! Belle ~ I have to agree, where has the summer gone?!! I only started wearing my sandals a week or so ago!! Craxe77 ~ 20 lbs is a nice loss, WTG! Susan ~ great re booking another cruise! Glad your DDIL wasn't too sick with Covid & you got to mind your grandchild. . I'm down 0.8 lbs so pretty happy about that. Now I'm in the mid 160's & want to be 150 at some point. Just 9 more weeks 'til my cruise sails away so I'm really looking forward to that. Have a nice weekend & stay safe. ~ Jo ~ 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optimusprime82 Posted August 28, 2021 #14 Share Posted August 28, 2021 The scale casts a long shadow… Despite hard work in the gym and making pretty good decisions food wise I gained 4.5 pounds this week. That not only means I wiped out all my losses since my July 24th weigh in, I also ended up gaining weight in August. This feels like a devastating setback.

Izena Posted August 29, 2021 #15 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Optimus - Don’t focus on the number. You have a great routine. I think your scale is haunted. Craxe - good job meeting your 20lb goal. I was able to achieve my ultimate goal in 13 months by setting small achievable goals throughout the year. Jo - great job on loss. You can get to the 150’s . Knowing we might actually be able to cruise soon. Susan — this is a welfare check. Are you being affected by Hurricane IDA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alabaster Cruiser Posted August 30, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Thank you for the concern Izena. We are unaffected other than a little rain. Prayers for so many that will be affected...Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izena Posted August 31, 2021 #17 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Very quiet here. Same routine walk, count calories and play on iPad. A month since surgery mind finally back to normal. One incision line has a firm quarter size firmness with redness. Incision line not infected- yesterday started on antibiotics go back Thursday I hope that what ever it is doesn’t require surgery and can be managed with office visits. Thought of having anesthesia again concerns me. i hope everyone is healthy, and happy with their eating plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I measure not weigh. I personally don't really care if it's muscle. So hard work in gym = ^ muscle All told, back to my pre-cruise measurement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiring soon Posted September 1, 2021 #22 Share Posted September 1, 2021 HI all! Belle ~ wishing you many happy healthy returns of the day! Happy birthday.🎂 I'm a little scared for tomorrow's weigh in as I was at our annual siblings' day at my sister's cottage. She's a good cook & baker so there may have been some brownies & butter tarts consumed. See you tomorrow. Stay safe. ~ Jo ~ 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
