    I am very wary of the weight loss drugs. When I was a young teacher, some miracle weight loss drug came out (I can't remember it's name). Several of my friends took it as a quick fix & after awhile, it was found to case heart problems….which has permanently affected one of the ladies. So…..once the new ones have been used for awhile, what bad side effects might show up? I also don't want to have to take a medication for the rest of my life. I don't want to take something that gives me digestive upsets, and I don't want to lose muscle as well as weight. Some of the people I know who are taking it, look like skeletons. No thank you!

    Ruthbru, I share some of your reservations about the weight-loss drugs.

    I dare say that we are all old enough to remember different waves of weight-loss drugs going back to the 1970's!

    up .5, but back to the gym this week after two weeks of low attendance…onward.

    I gained 5 pounds over the holidays! 😡 But had lost 2.4 of them as of this morning...

    Good for you, Ruthbru!

    I've lost what I gained and am back to pre-Christmas weight, which amounts to "high maintenance." LOL.

    More veggies. Simple meat preparations. Instructions to self.

    Down .5

    I love the idea of "high maintenance"

    I am 5 lbs from my high maintenance and 10 from my maintenance…those are my part 1 part 2 goals for this year. TT

    I didn't get to the gym yesterday. I walked in the neighborhood instead. I'll weigh today with the expectation of being up.

    Down .5

    With school starting to boil in activity from now through February…and adding piano lessons to the schedule…I'll have to be extra diligent.

    Stay safe and warm, TT

    I got the 2 pounds I gained off, plus .8 of another; which is good because Saturday we're off for a week of fun in the Arizona sun. I know I will be eating more the whole week!

    You both did well! I maintained. I'll take maintenance over gaining. Have fun, Ruthbru.

    Up 1

    Guess walking circles inside my house (due to ice/snow outside) doesn't constitute enough exercise for me!

    Up 2 lbs. King cake, comfort food, less exercise. A perfect formula.

    On vacation; walking a lot but also eating a lot. Next week I will let you know how much damage was done.
