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"

Weigh in Wednesday…. Posted by Cindy on 11/26/2025, 12:16 pm Let’s do this!

Same for me Posted by Cindyh on 11/26/2025, 8:13 pm, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…." Hhh

Cindyh Posted by Beverly on 11/27/2025, 12:07 am, in reply to "Same for me" I think that staying the same can be a win. You have had a lot going on...

Considering Posted by Delta on 11/26/2025, 11:24 pm, in reply to "Same for me" that the norm is a gain of 7 pounds between Halloween and Christmas, you are still ahead of the curve. Just keep following your plan. Don't use staying the same as an excuse to go on an eating spree. You've got this!

I’ve been off plan Posted by Cindyh on 11/27/2025, 5:35 am, in reply to "Considering " Been down about several Things and have just lost momentum but I am trying to get it back. Especially with surgery coming Delta.

There’s nothing wrong… Posted by Cindy on 11/26/2025, 9:38 pm, in reply to "Same for me" With staying the same! Maintaining during the holiday is awesome! Especially with all the stress you have been under. Hang in there.

Cindy Posted by Cindyh on 11/27/2025, 5:38 am, in reply to "There’s nothing wrong…" Ever since I had the big gain a few weeks ago from fluid from the Lyrica I can’t get it moving back down. I am off the Lyrica now but boy that’s a rough med to deal with. Thank you

No change this week Posted by Krista on 11/26/2025, 4:43 pm, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…." I've been getting a little sloppy with non-protein packed foods so it's time to reel that in a little. Doing well with the CUBII at night. Talked to the nutritionist today and she told me that I need to start weights now. I've had it on my "to do" list to create a routine with 3-5 lb hand weights to start so I'll get on that this week.

Krista Posted by Beverly on 11/27/2025, 12:13 am, in reply to "No change this week" You are still doing great, You've had so much stress. Love you, sweetie.

Actually I am up 0.4 lbs Posted by Krista on 11/26/2025, 5:32 pm, in reply to "No change this week" Yikes! I know I could poop that out. I did try this morning

You are still doing great, Krista Posted by Detla on 11/26/2025, 11:22 pm, in reply to "Actually I am up 0.4 lbs" Remember that stress can make us retain fluid even if we don't eat. That can keep the scale from falling or even going up. You are going through a lot of stress. Just keep doing the plan and everything will work out eventually. Just because the scale don't move doesn't mean the fat is not melting.

I think you are doing…. Posted by Cindy on 11/26/2025, 9:39 pm, in reply to "Actually I am up 0.4 lbs" Awesome! You know what you need to do and I have no doubt you will do it!

Trending down Posted by Delta on 11/26/2025, 2:34 pm, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…." all week. Back where I was last week, exactly today. That is almost funny because I was still down yesterday, ate very little yesterday, and my diuretics ran me to the bathroom all day and all night. That is usually good for a 1-3 pound loss, but here it is up from the rest of the week. Gotta laugh. I weighed less yesterday at the doctor's with a jacket on and my phone in my pocket than I do today with no clothes on. My scale is usually right with the doctor's scale. I am just going to trend for awhile.

Thumbs up Posted by Krista on 11/26/2025, 5:30 pm, in reply to "Trending down" Trending down is exactly where we all want to me. Crazy how much scales can differ day to day isn't it? Damned scales.

Trending down is good….. Posted by Cindy on 11/26/2025, 4:06 pm, in reply to "Trending down" Keep it up! - or should I say down???? Lol

Mine Posted by Beverly on 11/26/2025, 1:03 pm, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…." I am down 1.4 pounds since last week. Grateful. It has alot to do with my tummy/gastro stuff. I am tyring to keep track of what I eat so I know what foods really bother my system now.

Good re down and Posted by Krista on 11/26/2025, 5:29 pm, in reply to "Mine" smart lady to keep track of what upsets your tummy. Hope / pray things continue to improve, Beverly/

I am happy that Posted by Delta on 11/26/2025, 2:25 pm, in reply to "Mine" You have a good loss to show for your problems but I am not happy about your problems. I like that you are keeping track of all your foods and hope that you are also writing down any symptoms you face so that you can compare the foods later and find all that gives you problems. Once you can eliminate all the ones that cause problems, hopefully, you will feel better for longer periods of time. As for right now, I am sure that most of it was created by stress. Even happy stress always throws me for a loop, and my digestive situation is not as serious as yours.

Delta Posted by Beverly on 11/27/2025, 12:27 am, in reply to "I am happy that " I am keeping track of foods and which ones create any symptoms. I made an appointment to see a Gastro PA in early January to discuss colonoscopy/endoscopy results. Thanks so much for your thoughts and information and ideas.

I’m glad that… Posted by Cindy on 11/26/2025, 1:36 pm, in reply to "Mine" You are tracking this so you can avoid things that bother your system. Congrats on your loss. Have you gone through the house and cleaned out all the stuff you know you can’t eat without issues?

Cindy Posted by Beverly on 11/27/2025, 12:41 am, in reply to "I’m glad that…" Yes... I have given away or tossed most of it. Yes, again... keeping track of foods and any symptoms that come along it. Thanks for your help and support. 🙂

For me…. Posted by Cindy on 11/26/2025, 12:18 pm, in reply to "Weigh in Wednesday…." I am happy to report I am down 1 pound this week! Yay! I think it is due to cutting back on my carbs. Trying to keep them under 100 grams a day.

That's great, Cindy!!!! Posted by Beverly on 11/27/2025, 12:46 am, in reply to "For me…." I am happy you are figuring out what can help!!! YAY!😊😊😊

Re: That's great, Cindy!!!! Posted by kukt on 12/11/2025, 5:52 pm, in reply to "That's great, Cindy!!!!" Boas. O meu carro precisava urgentemente de amortecedores novos, porque parecia um barco, mas a oficina pediu-me uma fortuna. Tentei a sorte em alguns jogos para ver se pagava a conta, mas perdi 60 euros em apostas falhadas. Fiquei furioso comigo mesmo. Vi o spingranny e pensei "perdido por cem, perdido por mil". Fiz uma aposta alta numa slot. Ganhei um prémio excelente que cobriu a reparação toda. Foi um susto grande, mas acabou em vitória total e agora conduzo com segurança. .

Great job Cindy! Posted by Krista on 11/26/2025, 5:28 pm, in reply to "For me…." Cheering you on as always! Go Girl!

Thank you Krista… Posted by Cindy on 11/26/2025, 9:42 pm, in reply to "Great job Cindy!" I know you are!

Your report makes me happy Posted by Delta on 11/26/2025, 2:30 pm, in reply to "For me…." for you, too! I hope that you can continue cutting back on carbs and keep getting good losses. With all the reading that I do, the takeaway is that any time people are overweight, especially women, it messes with hormones and often makes us very sensitive to carbs. I have seen a lot of things that keeping carbs between 15 g and 30 g per meal is a good point to reach for to not make our bodies store fat until we can reset our systems. How long it takes to reset is different from person to person, but most can eventually tolerate more carbs if they heal their bodies. It's certainly worth a try.

Thank you…. Posted by Cindy on 11/26/2025, 9:41 pm, in reply to "Your report makes me happy " I appreciate it.
