The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

I lost 1 pound. Posted by Beverly on 11/12/2025, 9:55 pm, in reply to "WIW nt" My stomach has been so upset. I've been very careful, for once. Grateful.

Hoping your tummy… Posted by Cindy on 11/13/2025, 12:44 am, in reply to "I lost 1 pound." Settles down. Sending gentle hugs my sweet friend.

I hate that Posted by Detla on 11/12/2025, 10:04 pm, in reply to "I lost 1 pound." you lost from your stomach being so upset. That is not how you should be losing. I am grateful that you have been very careful. It probably made a big difference.

WIW for me Posted by Delta on 11/12/2025, 5:09 pm, in reply to "WIW nt" I am back to where I was. I forgot to take my diuretic on Saturday and went up 6 pounds during the day. It took until the wee hours of Monday to start getting rid of it, and then I was going every 15 minutes most of the day. Glad to get back to the status quo, but I am sick of staying the same or rollercoasting. I have to find a way to move more. I am tired of waiting for my hip and ankle. So that is the plan for this week.

Hate that you have… Posted by Cindy on 11/13/2025, 12:46 am, in reply to "WIW for me" Such a struggle with water weight. I’m right there with you being tired of roller coasting! We can’t give up! Let’s do this! *grabbing your hand*

Let's do it! Posted by Delta on 11/13/2025, 3:25 pm, in reply to "Hate that you have…" Maybe we need a CUBBI to use while we watch TV like Kristen.

Delta Posted by Beverly on 11/12/2025, 11:54 pm, in reply to "WIW for me" You really have a hard time with water weight. I am so sorry. It's so disheartening. I understand about struggling with movement/exercise type things. It's hard to know what to do. Maybe a doctor or pt person can suggest. I am laughing that I said a doctor. Actually, they leave that information to others!

You made me grin Posted by Delta on 11/14/2025, 7:25 pm, in reply to "Delta" When you said doctors, too. Yes, I have a lot of trouble with fluid. If I sit too much, I retain fluid. If I am on my feet too much, I retain fluid. If I am stressed, I retain fluid. It is all a crazy balancing act that I am not good at pulling off. I am going to consult my doctor and see if he will recommend me to a PT, but I want to wait until things settle down here a bit. My calendar is jam-packed full of appointments right now.

For me…. Posted by Cindy on 11/12/2025, 3:02 pm, in reply to "WIW nt" Down 1/2 pound and I will take it!!!

Cindy... Posted by Beverly on 11/12/2025, 11:56 pm, in reply to "For me…." Always take iet!!

You know I will!… Posted by Cindy on 11/13/2025, 12:47 am, in reply to "Cindy..." Thanks.

Way to go Posted by Delta on 11/12/2025, 4:04 pm, in reply to "For me…." I am glad to see it working for you again.

Me too!…. Posted by Cindy on 11/13/2025, 12:47 am, in reply to "Way to go" Thanks!

Super! Posted by Krista on 11/12/2025, 3:23 pm, in reply to "For me…." Go Girl Go!

Thanks Krista!(nt) Posted by Cindy on 11/13/2025, 12:48 am, in reply to "Super!"

Not weighing Posted by Paula on 11/12/2025, 9:12 am, in reply to "WIW nt" But did go back to my calorie counting app yesterday. It makes such a big difference in how I think about what I'm eating. I started the day with 2 650 calorie bundt cakes! That's close to my whole day allotment based on a goal of 195 by mid-April. The program set my calorie intake at 1383. I also supposed to walk or do some kind of exercise 30 minutes a day to reach that goal. I'll do what I can with that. As my weight goes down, so do my calories but I get calories back for exercise. IDK why doing this helps me so much but it does. Normally, if I would have had all those cake calories, I would have said ef it. The days shot anyway. Instead, my curiosity got the best of me and I tried to rein in the rest of the calories for the day. Ended up with 2111 which I thought was great. There's something about staring my goal in the face everyday and seeing what it's going to take to get there, that sobers me up. Here I go.

Paula Posted by Beverly on 11/12/2025, 11:59 pm, in reply to "Not weighing" You got the app out that good... today is over. My goal is have food sanity. When I plan.. I do better. Love you.

When Posted by Delta on 11/12/2025, 4:04 pm, in reply to "Not weighing" we keep the goal front and center throughout the day we have to admit that we are just being a brat and it is not really so hard. It is great how you reined that in. Keep it up!

You are doing… Posted by Cindy on 11/12/2025, 3:18 pm, in reply to "Not weighing" Great! Love you are back to tracking your food and taking steps towards accountability!

269.2 Posted by Krista on 11/12/2025, 9:09 am, in reply to "WIW nt" You should have heard the WHOOP this morning !

Krista Posted by Beverly on 11/13/2025, 12:00 am, in reply to "269.2" I am doing a happy dance... cha cha slide. That is great. Stay with what works. You are figuring it out.

Got the food down pat Posted by Krista on 11/13/2025, 8:49 am, in reply to "Krista" Making headway on the exercise now and water will be the final "key". Thanks for being such a great cheerleader!

Was that you? Posted by Delta on 11/12/2025, 3:59 pm, in reply to "269.2" I thought it was a plane coming to a stop overhead. LOL. CONGRATULATIONS!

LOL Posted by Krista on 11/12/2025, 7:13 pm, in reply to "Was that you?" It was!

I thought I heard something…. Posted by Cindy on 11/12/2025, 3:16 pm, in reply to "269.2" From up north when I stepped outside! I bet it was YOU! Congrats on being in the 260’s! You are doing great!!!!

Thank you Cindy! Posted by Krista on 11/12/2025, 3:23 pm, in reply to "I thought I heard something…." 70 lbs to goal!

GREAT NUMBER! Posted by Paula on 11/12/2025, 9:14 am, in reply to "269.2" I better get back at it if we are having a race toward Onederland! I'll be almost as happy to see you get there as I will be to see me get there...not quite as happy, but happy! LOL

You have inspired me Paula Posted by Krista on 11/12/2025, 9:16 am, in reply to "GREAT NUMBER!" I'll be thrilled for both of us - that's my overall goal - 199. I've love to hit 50 by Christmas. Today, I'm at 27 gone from pre-op!

OK, allons-y! Posted by Paula on 11/12/2025, 9:24 am, in reply to "You have inspired me Paula" Merci'
