Goal minus 15
Down plus or minus 5 depending on how much sodium I’ve eaten
No real weight loss in over a week. I’m hoping for a drop tomorrow. I find Wednesday is my best judge of how I’m doing.
Last week I had multiple meals out and parties. While I feel I made some good choices I also ate a lot of bread which is my weakness
I’ve made 3 days at the gym as part of my regular schedule and I plan my appointments around those classes. I also do some at home weights on the other days. My next goal will be to add another gym day in.
Monday- Thursday I stay to a fairly consistent 1200 calories.
I try to avoid dining out during the week because I’m not great at skipping the bread or chips.
Goal -17
Down -8.8 overall, ZERO going on two weeks. Waiting, waiting for a drop.
Spin today, just walking yesterday, spin and body pump on Sunday
Staying solidly within the 30 WW points, and starting to wonder if I need a different approach…
EDIT and UPDATE! The drop is here! Just for fun and self-torture, I decided to weigh in once more and this time I’m 1.1 pound down. Even if it’s only temporary, it’s a nice change from looking at that same number day after day after day. 
Hurray for you. I also stepped on the scale just before dinner and was finally moving down just a bit.
It really helps.
@3girls3cats congratulations!!

Exericise 30 minutes with weights, 3 minutes on the bike (I really hate that bike!)
Goal -17
Loss: 10.9! That’s down 2 pounds from my last official weigh in! (it’s not the official weigh in which happens on Fridays and it’s entirely likely that that will be less impressive but this is what my scale is saying today and I am too excited to wait so I am sharing it now.)
Calories: don’t know, staying within in the WW 30 points per day
Exercise: body pump (1 hour) and walking—and I finally took my bike in for a much needed tune up and seat adjustment.
Goal: -62
Loss: -9.5
Held steady over vacation. Walked 15000-24000 steps a day every day, on cobblestones in 85-95 degree heat, two weeks post-op and on injectable blood thinners plus the rest of my usual pharmacopia. Needed my walking sticks the entire time. Was hypercoagulated halfway through and started bruising all over. Thought I would need to go to the hospital several times. My body utterly failed me on this trip, on all levels. I ate what I wanted, in moderation (European food has so much less sugar and junk than American diets), generally about 1600 calories a day. Did not gain any weight, didn’t lose any. Think I scared my DH half to death. Force of will was not enough to get through. What this says about the level of exercise I need to lose weight and my body’s inability to handle that is scary as hell. Can’t go below 1400 calories a day per the cardiologist.
@CountingDown I just so want your primary goal to be “better health” and not having anxiety over the scale for instance. I know the extra weight is probably a roadblock to good health too, but your situation is clearly one where you must somehow prioritize steps for “better health”. Glad to hear that your weight held steady cause I know that is important to you. But I can’t help but want your overall health to move forward - as you do too!
I’m rooting for you - each step at at time! (and that is A LOT of steps! You must be exhausted!!)
Your body couldn’t handle it two weeks post-op. Hopefully when it’s had more time to recover it will be easier.
Goal -15

calories–lost count bad day–great and perfect until dinner
@CountingDown, be easy on yourself and give yourself a chance to heal. I have done ~20,000 step days in less heat and without medical obstacles…and collapsed at the end of it, feeling bleary and disoriented. You were two weeks post-op! I can’t even imagine handling that.
Goal -25
Loss 5.5
Calories: 1070 (I feel like I must have forgotten to track something)
Exercise pushups, wall sit, squats, but really not more than 10 minutes or so
I’ve had a hard time with my knees, shoulders and temperature regulation for a while. This wasn’t just post-op issues. Should probably take this to another thread!
Goal: -33
Week’s progress: -2
Total progress since 7/5: -5
Eating strategy: WW
Exercise goals per week: 1 long bike ride, commuter biking, stationary bike at gym, upper body work at gym.
Exercise completed this week: 1 long bike ride and shorter rides around town. Some long walks. No gym.
@CountingDown if you take it to a new thread I’ll join you there. I’ve had issues with my hips, shoulders, and for the first time in my life, temperature regulation. It certainly adds challenge to weight loss and exercise.
Goal: -30
Progress since last Friday: -2
Total progress since 6/8: -12
Calorie limit:1300, but was around 1000 for several days this week. Somehow I’m not really hungry.
Exercise strategy: Just walking. Thinking about using the gym membership I pay for. I would have to wear shorts in public. Ick.
Goal: -15
progress: almost none so far
Exercise: I started running habit this year to be in better shape and now run 5k about every other day. (I can now run 5k under 40 min if weather not hot, good improvement from my couch-2-5k start). Now I am ready to also work on dieting. It was too hard think about both at once.
