Wootness! Fall hath fallen here, nice & cool out now but don't know how long that'll last.

Hello, all queenlies!

Have run out of creative, interesting things to say or colorful symbolic ways to describe the weight loss journey, but woot, have lost another .8 this week and huzzah am I HAPPY about it?

YES!

Right on schedule to reach 132 by October 28, which is the goal for the months.

Measurements are exactly the same as last week.

This is all kind of exciting as my exercise was fairly gentle AND I ate more carbs and more natural sugar this week AND slept a lot due to depression and sinus problems.

The only thing I focused on was calorie control and as most know about me, I do calorie cycle, so was up and down some on that but stayed within a good range.

Was hoping for a WHOLE POUND lol but happy as a clam with the result!

Huzzah!

Thanks for the congrats, Wsw! Your consistency in the hanging in on your diet and exercise path also inspires me! Woot!

Kaylets, I also like that thought about the billboard saying: "You're OKAY! You're doing as well as can be expected ..."

Sometimes in the midst of our personal struggles that are not always discernable to others or even are misunderstood by others we get discouraged and confused and it is true, a message comes through from the universe that we really are okay.

My brother has a saying: "I'm always okay." He says that when I am worrying about him and over the years I have also assumed it as a personal motto for myself, because, well, I always am.

Take care, all.

Huzzah, Wsw! Congratulations on that 38 pounds in 9 months, that is fabulous whether retread or not.

My weight in the ticker (and some before I made the latest ticker) was some retread weight too ... we gotta deal with it, and it is all good!

Congrats on how great you are doing and on the exercise front, too.

I was reading a blog on another site about how studies are showing that it is better to be heavier and fit, than thinner and not fit.

I believe fitness is the most important thing, although I personally want to be fit AND at the scale weight I want.

Lol, I want it all.

I did well with calories today at 1585, right where I like to be and did 30 min weights. My streakity is still intact but have been going through some changes lately that are making it harder to get up and move and I am determined NOT to stop the daily exercise streak.

My big plan tomorrow is to hike with some out-of-town friends and then we plan on eating at a Peruvian restaurant. I have researched what I will eat (Peruvian chicken with some rice) and will hocus pocus focus focus on that and not on any other experimental eating.

Good night to all royals who inhabit this thread.

Well, a series of NOT SO FORTUNATE EVENTS occurred in which Amarantha hath gained 1.4 pounds this week lol.

Not really worried or unhappy about that, did well, increased exercise, calories a little up but not by much, so t'is just a blip on the radar. Happy with my weight but working towards a goal so we'll get 'em next time! Woot!

Happy Monday, everyone! Woot!

Huzzah, yea, Wsw ... t'is not a sprint at all, and we WILL get 'em next time.

Glad you had fun seeing people you haven't seen in a long time. Old friends are golden, we should cherish them.

Well, I am pooped ... been really absorbed in knitting for the past two days, it is special to me because I thought that was something I wasn't going to be able to do again but it is going well and soothing me after some upsets I had last week.

Going to eat beloved cottage cheese with chives now and lie down. Also had a big day getting a quote on some insulation work I need at the house lol, takes a lot outta moi! Woot!

Hope your earache is better soon, dear wsw! Woot! Also hope that storm passes and does not touch your area. That is scary. Glad you are enjoying the fall leaves.

The insulation work is done and it was a big surprise when a neighbor from the next street happened to be the person supervising the crew. I see him walking with his family often and my dog always barks at them lol. All was pleasant and quick and they also put a nice new "door" opening in the attic for me. That was a relief.

Enjoying a fitness toy I recently bought, the Fitbit Zip! I had a big issue with the customer service end of getting it shipped and was quite irate but honestly I love the thing and it tracks with My Net Diary, which is the app and web site I use for tracking my food and exercise.

Lol, now I want to buy all their products, but will hold on.

Greetings to all the faithful here on the palace thread and hope all are well.

I lost .2 from last week and am REALLY happy about that as t'was not my best week.

But it WAS my goal day to weight 132 and I am three pounds off of that. So I have added another week to my schedule of goals to reach 125. Looks like this now:

November 25 Goal Date: Be at 130 pounds.

December 30 Goal Date: Be at 126 pounds.

And now, January 6 Goal Date: BE AT IDEAL WEIGHT OF 125.

Reserving option to look at that ideal weight again at that time, may want to go lower or higher.

Have a great day, all!

Thanks for the congrats, wsw! Hope you feel much better tomorrow, congrats though on staying op with food!

Huzzah to all!
