    We all need to get serious! Winter is coming. Christmas is coming. Holidays are coming. I am down 1lb this week at 157lbs. I want to be 135lbs! Getting serious starting now

    Okay, we should now report how each of us is going to make our own selves more accountable..... I am going to log off here and right on to my Fitbit app. I will log my weight and food intake every single day (even when I am bad) until I have lost 10 pounds.

    Off I go!

    I will go back to a sugar free diet and stop cheating every now and again. Or, actually, every day. And will weigh myself each week which I haven’t been doing consistently until I’m down 9 lbs.

    OMG, you guys are getting serious! I have been serious, skipping dinner a lot as I didn't have anyone to have it with on a long business trip. I lost 2 kilos then gained back one since getting back but still on track to tell my MO tomorrow that I still weigh the same as I did six months ago (and actually 12 years ago as well!).

    It's worth getting serious, guys.

    Skipping dinner always makes me lose weight too. Perhaps I should just have a meal between instead of lunch or dinner.

    Okay, I have lost 2 pounds since faithfully recording my food intake. Tomorrow night I am going to a party where many hor'derves will be served. THAT will be a challenge!!!!

    I I need to be more serious to! I think I have lost because all my jeans are loose. The weather finally got cold and I was dreading trying on my winter pants. Some of them are to big! The black pair of Levi's were so tight last year I felt like a popped can of biscuits fit! I was so surprised. Doctor appointment tomorrow and I will force myself to look at my weight 🙄

    Ha Varga, I know what you mean! I often tell the nurse to keep it to herself. Good job Ruth on being down two.

    So I weighed myself this morning. I was four pounds less than I was when I was at the doctors two Fridays ago. That weight was recorded at the end of the day. So, where is a fair starting point? Somewhere in between?

    Depends on where you want to end up. If you wanted to lose 9 pounds after that doctor visit, then you only have 5 to go!!!

    146.2. After surgery, I went from 150 to 140 for some reason. Just didn't feel hungry again until I went down to 140. Then, chemo brought me to 148. My last chemo was a month ago, and my weight went down slightly.

    Up 2 this week and that’s after getting serious. I need to get double serious this week, or I’ll need to buy new clothes

    I took a break from seriousness this weekend for two birthday parties. I need to get with the program again so I can be down before the holiday feasting takes me up.

    No weight loss for me either. I was very bad at the party I went to last Thursday, and Friday I had a shingles shot which required two days of "comfort food". I was back to logging the food Sunday (it sure takes a lit less time to gain it than to lose it!). I better have a decrease to report by next week!!

    Down .5 but that's 1 over where it should be. My weight varies as much as 3 lbs during the week. I don't know what causes the difference.

    Same here Wren. Today’s weight showed +3 which seems like an insane amount to gain in a week. But I was down 4 from the doctor the week before. I hate this. I had a bizarre period also this month- a week of bloating and pain in my uterus and then only spotting for five days. Two months prior was a flood. Menopause or Tamoxifen or both? I used to rely on menstruation to help relieve some of that bloating- not this month! I had no sugar this week and did not overeat.

    145.3, down 1.

    Down this week at last. I’ve lost track of how many lbs I’ve gained or lost each week recently - today I weigh 155lbs which is 20lbs “too much” but 5lbs less than where I was a few weeks ago when things seemed to be getting out of hand. I’ve been cutting down on carbs and doing more cycling/swimming which seems to help: makes me feel good too. I make sure I get my heart rate up to 120 for 7 minutes a day as I read somewhere that doing that could “zap” circulating tumour cells. Probably just a theory but it really seems to have helped my motivation. Keep it up everyone we can do this. Aiming to lose a bit more before Christmas and the dreaded photographs.

    Back back on track and down 2 pounds.

    Same as last week. Up 1 from yesterday. I'm wearing jeans that feel tight. Good motivator.

    Same as last week...which is too high. I too make myself suffer at night in my too tight pants rather than changing to yoga pants to run around the house after work...I too think it is a good motivator. TT

    144.1, down 1. My pants don't feel any looser.

    Two pounds less than last week. Still want to lose 6 more. Yoyoyoyoy

    I'm still hanging out between 135-139. I do that 4 pins bounce to! On a positive note when I went to my appointment the nurse said you've lost weight! Motivated me just a little more because someone noticed! That was before I got on the scales to!

    I have been so good that I will be very mad if I'm not down tomorrow!!!

    I seem to be gaining in anticipation of Thanksgiving. The brutal number will be known tomorrow.

  • ruthbru
    ruthbru Member Posts: 47,789

    Down 1.8......if I can manage to eat only ONE helping of everything tomorrow, I will consider it a Diet Success Day!

  • wren44

    Up .5. I guess I think I need an extra fat cushion for tomorrow.

  • trmtab

    Still stuck at the same...not good given Thanksgiving and then I'm in San Diego next week on business...

    Happy Thanksgiving to all. TT
