    I stayed the same. I'm worried about the holidays too!

    Yesterday I was up .5, measured before I traveled cross-country to Seattle for a conference…that was a long day.

    Will have to keep vigilant, remembering it is a work trip, not a food vacation. Gratefully many of the best Pacific Northwest items are fish!

    down the .5 that I was up last week…not bad as I was on business travel 4 days this week.

    All said, I have been stuck at the same place for a month when I actually need to lose 10 more pounds…but will by okay if I stay the same +/- between now and New Years.

    I feel the same way, trmtab.

    I will weigh at the gym today.

    Down 1.....whoo hoo! Once Thanksgiving hits, if I could manage to stay wherever I am through the holidays, I would be thrilled!

    Agree Ruth

    Thanksgiving, DH b'day (65!), 5 day trip to NYC, Christmas (parties), NYE…it will be a lot

    Got to Tai Chi at lunchtime…every little bit counts

    Ruth, I picked up your lost lb. I'm struggling. On the plus side I'm down from the weight on Monday after an excessive weekend. I know some changes that need to be made. Just need to make them.

    Down 1…finally off the same number that I have been at +/- .5 for a month, one can only hope!

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone, TT

    I surprisingly lost another pound!

    Happy Thanksgiving! I am going to TRY to eat moderately. 🤞

    Down .5

    A miracle given Thanksgiving and all the extras that linger… off to NYC tomorrow for a 4 day trip (during which we will celebrate DH's 65th birthday!)…next Wednesday's weigh in will be interesting…TT

    Enjoy your trip and celebration, trmtab. I admire your half lb. loss.

    I will weigh later at the gym but know but weighing on the bathroom scale this morning that I am up from Thanksgiving travel and hamburger lunches on the road and from Thanksgiving eating.

    Happy Birthday to DH, TT! Enjoy your getaway!

    Probably because I have my annual physical tomorrow, I have been very good & lost another pound....although my Book Club meets tonight so I know I'll weigh more tomorrow than I do today!

    My calculations that factor in the weight of my shoes and clothing tell me that I was up 2 lbs yesterday. A few days prior, I was up more than that. Restaurant food always causes bloating and fluid retention. It must be the salt.

    We don't have an active social life during the pre-Christmas season with a round of parties but there are a couple of dinners and then Christmas day. So I don't expect to be losing weight. I would be happy to maintain.

    Yesterday I was down 1 lb. Tonight is a Christmas dinner at an event place. Sure to be lots of carbs on a buffet. Not a good outlook for the lost lb. LOL.

    Have fun Carole.

    I gained two pounds over my 5 night trip to NYC…have already lost .5 of that…totally worth it! Onward. 😊

    I was down .5. I have been very good about portion control & if I want an evening snack, I have a yogurt or energy bar or piece of toast. Of course, I will eat everything on the actual holidays, but will be happier if I go in at a lower weight.

    Good advice, Ruthbru.

    Lost my NYC gain plus an extra .5

    My lunchtime gym crowd is going to lunch after our class today…Tai Chi then Thai food😁

    I was okay, but just went to a Holiday Brunch so am not going to step on the scale again today!

    You're doing great, trmtab. And I don't blame you for not weighing again, Ruthbru!

    Yuck on me. I'm up 2 lbs. Too much cold weather cooking.

    Merry Christmas to both of you. No weigh-ins for me for a while. I hope to do better in 2026!

    I was up 1 this morning, which is not surprising ! Let's enjoy the holiday & we'll get back on the wagon when it's over!
