Weight loss & fitness log

Weigh-In Day:
Weight - 179.6 lb.
Wt. to Goal 9.6
Comment: I hope to drop to 170 lb., slowly
So that I might more easily keep it off.
 

I'm at 181.9 this morning, so almost to my goal. Gym this morning for 15 minutes on the treadmill, 20 minutes of rowing, 20 minutes of weight training for the lower body.
 
We're almost the same weight. I used to exercise a bit but no longer Doctors have ordered none since my heart attack. But I'll manage to lose a few pounds by dieting and counting calories. I'd like to lose a few pounds but not much. Sounds lie you're on a path to finish strong. Good Luck.
 

Hope I am not too late to join in--just spotted this thread---I lost a stone on my own since Lent---but I have at least 2 more stone to go. I need some support--going through a difficult stressful time-it does not help !!
I am following a Slimming worlds diet as best as I can.
 
Hi Marianna, this used to be a most active site and some dropped off, others came on, I myself dropped off for a while to to health reason. I am still trying to lose a few pounds. Losing weight is not easy for most of us and we have to stay after it. I'm sure your diet is a good one but regardless we all need encouragement to stay hitched and resolved to continue on trying to lose a pound or two. Let me say welcome to you and even though we are few here I hope you continue to return as often as you like. It's easier and more fun to lose weight together. Cheers.
 
I stopped posting on this thread as I seemed to be talking to myself.

I've been on a free anonymous diet forum off and on for nearly 5 years. I joined when I was 59 and wanted to be a nice size by my 60th birthday. The support was very helpful. I log my food and exercise there and there's a graph to show what we've lost and how much more we need to lose.
 
It did turn out that way. You were the inspiration for whatever success any of us obtained. I'm glad to see you have continued your pursuit of goals you have set for yourself. There's probably not enough committed souls to keep a forum like this going but it was a good thing for some long while. Best of luck to you.
 
Glad I was an inspiration, Drifter!

As usual I gained while traveling like I always do. When we came home after 3 months we both caught cold/flu on one of the flights. So we sat around for about 3 weeks and I ate for comfort and didn't go to the gym. Need to lose about 12 pounds now.

I went to a gym 3 x week while we were gone (3 months) and we rode bikes a lot. Wore bikinis although my belly wasn't flat, but everybody wears them there no matter what. I also posted daily to the diet forum I mentioned, although I couldn't post calories as I had no way to calculate them.
 
Congratulations to everyone here who has lost weight and is taking good care of their bodies. :thumbsup: It's been months since I posted, stopped my exercise routine at the gym completely, and only do daily walks now.

I had ten pounds that I wanted to lose and I did reach my goal, even went beyond a couple of pounds. It's slowly creeping back as I've been enjoying things too much like ice cream, etc. Will try to keep that under control and not do the usual yoyo routine with these ten pounds.

My goal weight still doesn't get me out of the overweight BMI margin, but I'm comfortable with it. I have a new pedometer, so that may get me in the groove again to do some extra brisk walking at least. My bike is getting very dusty on the back porch, need to take it out now and then too.

Keep up the great work everybody, stay happy and healthy! :love_heart:
 
Oh I thought it was still active---the latest posts were very current---I definately need encouragement as i live alone--so grateful for any comments. Last week I actually put on half a pound--even though I had been keeping to the plan-and walking more than usual--but as I said, I was under a lot of stress---trying to overcome that now. Thank you for your comments.
 
I'm trying to hold my weight down, lose a few pounds if possible. I weigh practically every morning and my weight fluctuates back and forth between 185 and 181. I would like to get down to 170 but have been less motivated the past few months. Losing weight is something of a hassle and requires a degree of discipline I once had and am trying to regain. My observations over the years has led me to believe that losing weight is easier for men than it is for women. I plan To resume my efforts to drop a few pounds and will record my efforts here on Saturdays mornings. If no one shows up with an interest to do likewise I will record my successes and failures and talk to myself since I am becoming less social.
 
Okay kids, I'm joining you...plus getting up to date on my FitBit profile. Back to work on my feet and getting Sophie out every night. The doc said my blood pressure is in a bad place. If I lose weight and get my girl out every night. My daughter takes Callie. He's pretty young and enjoys the run. Me and my Sophie, both gray and limping along...at a fast pace.
 
Okay, I stepped on the scale this a.m. and weighed 175.0. I have amended my goal. My goal is now, 174.0 pounds

Congratulations on your weight loss Drifter, and kudos for setting a new one pound lower goal. I'm back to square one, not obese but need to lose ten pounds again. I could if I really try, but I haven't had the desire for awhile.

I gained weight as usual during the last holiday season, but this year I wasn't able to lose it so easily as I used to. Normally when I go on camping trips and do extra hiking and related exercise, I would drop up to five pounds without even trying in a couple of weeks, well these past camp trips that hasn't happened.

I am still enjoying the foods I like, not sure I want to give anything up at this point, have a Lemon Mousse cake with raspberry filling in the fridge from a very good bakery. I do try and limit my servings to a degree, and I do a lot of house and yard work, plus take my dog on walks daily 2+ miles.

I'm kind of accepting my weight at this point, I won't let it get any higher or buy bigger clothing.....still looking to keep a bit of a check on it.
 
Hi, SeaBreeze, I think eventually we do reach a point where the struggle and hassle of closing weight is not worth the few pounds we might lose. We have about forgotten how to cook and eat what's easy to fix. Periodically I will fast seventeen hours of a day, say fom a three pm lunch until a nine or nine-thirty breakfast. I'm where I want to be, weight-wise. I'm to the point now most of my pants bunch up at the waist when I tighten my belt to keep them up or I need suspenders.
 
It's great when your pants loosen up for you, I have some jeans that I can't comfortably wear right now. I don't like to buy a bigger size though, rather adjust my weight.
