MOcruiserman Posted March 31, 2016 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2016 April showers brings May FlowersAprils loss's brings May smiles by the Hours I hope that's the case with me because we leave for our cruise on May 1! I tried hard this past week and it paid off - a 4 pound loss, down to 207, a total of 19 pounds. I've had to buy some new clothes and it feels great. Only 12 pounds away from being "normal" weight, though 22 pounds from my goal. I hope everyone lost weight this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted March 31, 2016 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks Belle, no rain but actual spring temps are nice right now. Back up 2 to 182, aaarghhhh. Eating hasn't been tragic most days but 2 bad ones a week, combined with "maintenance" exercise: short evening walks vs more intense cardio workouts, is just not cutting it. Used to get 10k steps a day regularly, now it's 5k to 7k on a good day. Making a difference in the wrong way. Oh well, keep on keepin' on. Thanks for posting the fantastic losses you're getting Cruiserman, great to hear your discipline is paying off and read the excitement in your weekly messages. Great work!

MOcruiserman Posted March 31, 2016 #4 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks, Shootr. It's great to see my weight heading in the right direction. I'm sure you'll get back on track. A few days of self-discipline will knock of those pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retiring soon Posted March 31, 2016 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi all! Belle ~ nice ditty! We're getting April showers here today. You know what Mayflowers bring right?..............Pilgrims!;) CruisermanVA ~ congrats, you're doing great!:D shootr ~ you know how to get results so don't fret! I get 5,000 steps on a good day! My stupid scale said I was down 2 lbs which I thought strange since we had a lovely Easter meal plus I bought snacks for the "kids" which they didn't eat, so I ate a bag of Zesty Doritos over 3 nights.:o Weighed again & now it says I'm down 0.2 lbs which is better than I expected! I'm up 2 lbs for the month tho'!:( I won't be weighing in until April 28th as I'm off on 2 cruises from April 8 - 22. Have a great month! ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winewanderer Posted March 31, 2016 #6 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Good Morning, Thanks Belle for the poem. Can't believe Friday is April 1st. 2 weeks until cruise time for me. I stayed the same. Ok. Cruiseman, awesome losses. My clothes are too big too but I don't have time to shop for new. So, after washing I'm drying them on hot. That has shrunk them some. Some things though are just too big. Sorry Shootr you gained. It'll come off soon. Jo, enjoy your cruises! Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violetmoon1979 Posted March 31, 2016 #7 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Hi Everybody! I lost 200 grams this week. Honestly I'm pleased considering the rampage I've been on. UGH For those of you who remember from last weeks weigh in, I told a story about how my cat tried to kill me.... Well I finally went to the doctor since my foot wasn't getting any better. Turns out I have a fractured tibia!!! So now I'm sporting a moon boot and crutches. I try to make up for my eating debacles with exercise but I'm really going to have to focus on my eating until I get the OK to exercise again. Great job this week everybody!!

Better too big than too small!:) For those of you who remember from last weeks weigh in, I told a story about how my cat tried to kill me....

I hope it doesn't interfere with any travel plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retiring soon Posted April 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 1, 2016 HI all! Wow , some nice losses this week! Congrats!:D Diana ~thanks for the good wishes Gee to have that problem of clothes being too big! Well, in a way I do since the elastic waist bands on my pants are stretched to the limit.:o Isabel ~ yikes, that is quite the number the cat did on you!:eek: Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Poor DH, who is tall & thin but has a belly, thought he'd give up cheese & cookies to lose 10 lbs but I guess the After Eight mints & "faux" Black Forest cake every day have contributed to his gaining 1 lb! Or maybe it's just our wonky scale!:rolleyes: Have a great weekend. ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted April 2, 2016 Author #11 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Glad that everyone had mostly good weigh-ins On to next week. Have this weekend try to drink water, exercise and eat less. Bon Voyage to Jo. Think Diana you have a little longer till you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted April 2, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Yeah, that "eating less" part still isn't sticking...:( On the other hand, I enjoyed my exercise today whipping the backyard into shape! Tomorrow we're going to the airshow (but I snuck over to the fence Friday to check out practice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted April 3, 2016 Author #13 Share Posted April 3, 2016 What's your magic secret...I worked in the backed yard yesterday..No POOL appeared.LOL Your yard is lovely. I know you worked on the pool last year. Great job with your yard. I know the eating less part is hard for me this weekend too. Enjoy the airshow.

retiring soon Posted April 3, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 3, 2016 HI all! Belle ~ thanks for the good wishes. I'm looking forward to getting away from this cold & even snow overnight. shootr ~ what a lovely yard you have! Are you close to Luke Air Base? I visited my sister in AZ just so I could go to that air show as it looked amazing from their pictures & videos. We had the VIP service the 1st year they offered it & it saved a lot of walking. Have a great week. ~ Jo ~ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootr Posted April 4, 2016 #15 Share Posted April 4, 2016 No VIP, so got about 5 miles in, but oh so worth it! All the servicepeople were incredible - events like these make me pretty emotional - knowing the sacrifices they make, yet they are thanking us for coming out. Main office of a KC-135 tanker: Sentimental Journey B-17: Missus checking out the refueler's position: Old and new: Know how I know I got the right one? She worked a 12 hour night shift at labor/delivery at the hospital, came home and changed clothes, and away we went for another 12 hours. Even though I still didn't eat too well, my life is about as good as anyone could ever hope for. Hope you all had a good weekend and thanks for letting me share.
