I'm up half a pound, but I'm sure that is just more food in my body from yesterday.

I'm going to shoot for another 1800 calorie day today.

I REALLY have absolutely NO motivation to eat 1600 calories today, as I REALLY don't want to lose more weight. I look and feel fine. I just don't want to gain.

Woooooo Hooooooo Sheri!!!

Congrats! Super cool!

I did well yesterday. Ended up with 1900 calories, but they were clean and I did not do any extra bites or tastes. I also got about 6 miles of walking in.

Glad you are feeling better.

Hang in there!!!

Thanks to all for your support!

Yes, we had a stretch of weather that was gloomy, gloomy, gloomy, in addition to being much cooler than average.

Yesterday it was sunny, so I canceled lawn mowing, in favor of a walk in the park. I feel better today.

After a month or two of flirting with it, I FINALLY got down to 170 yesterday...170.2 to be precise (I'm back up slightly this morning).

My highest weight of this past winter was 178, though I was only at that weight for one day. For most of January through March, I was in the 176s but veered up into the 177s several times.

I think this is the first time in 3-4 years that I've actually LOST weight instead of gaining or maintaining. I'm a happy camper.

I ended up, according to Fitday, burned 2187 calories and ate 1785. That would be a good deficit of 402 calories.

I felt good all day.

I ended up with a good, on pan day. Did 5 miles of walking. My calories were just under 1600.

I'm at 1260 calories for the day and got in 6 miles this afternoon when I got home from hospice.

WAY better than it would have been had we gone to the party.

People on the WW'ers board often have a HORRIBLE time losing 5-10 lbs because of the waffling between, "Ughhhh! I really want to lose 5 pounds!!!" and "I'm a good healthy weight!!! AND Hey! I look pretty darn good!" (Especially, all over the news yesterday was Americans are continuing to get fatter and fatter...)

Also, BMI of 25 minus 12 lbs is very thin for a guy... I think. Shoot! Thin for anybody! Thinner than me.

In addition, I have been kind of depressed lately, which decreases both my motivation and my focus.

Bleck! Sending hugs! Hang in there like, Peg said. And get out for a walk. Are you still tracking your pedometer miles?

I was thinking of you with the resolution of the MN senator seat ownership dispute.

I am at 1500+ calories today. I am managing to keep fat around 10%.

I am coming up on the weekend with higher calorie days...

Want to be clean and lean the next 2 days.
