So today was the wrap up meeting for the work contest-(yes the final weighins were almost 3 weeks ago). The winner lost 20 lbs or 18% of her body weight. (P lost the most 22 lbs but that was less in body %). The winning team was awesome with all four having significant losses. I was not in the top 10- but do appreciate the losses I made. No-one looked too skinny and those who attended were all proud of their efforts and results. (even those whose weights stayed the same).
It was actually a fun time making deeper connection with the folks I work with.
 
Body describes weighty matters unless raised (razed) by heat that could cause a spontaneous rise ... then there is the matter of soul the very core of mass ... of heavy words to carry if they happen to be big and misunderstood ... as deviate from what's common as a po' John crossing de pond of fluid humanism .. that goes according to LOGOS ... a hidden form of logic or reason if you haven't gathered that as it was aboriginally disseminated ... or scattered as god's thoughts when encountering love ... a mind blowing issue as dyna mite ... a small moving immaterial thing that bugs yah from time to time?

Ever hear a minister preach on dissemination when you figure they don't understand the word either?
 
An update on my fitness goal, I bumbed up the speed on the stair climber to 53steps a minute. In half an hour (20 minutes of actual movement 10mintues of rest) I did 66 flights or 792 steps.
 
so here I am again. Weight bumped up since last report. I did put on what I lost. Stress-and the resulting cortisol- seem to add pounds. But I'm back watching what I eat and upping the exercise. I was consistent with the 2 times a week yoga but for me it was not enough.

Sorry to hear that Tabitha. Glad to hear you're back on track.

I've had a hard time following a program anytime I've wanted to lose weight - it won't go anywhere. But, in times of grief, seems to be the only time it just drops off without effort, for me... Not a recommended way to lose it! My energy slips a bit with my appetite. I think I've lost 15 lbs. in a month and a half. Looks to be about that much. I am not eating much - just don't care about food much, it kind of makes me queasy to think about to sitting down and eating a full meal, so I just pick here and there to get something in me - and that isn't normally the way I am - normally I like food a bit too much- but that's why.

Consistency in conflicting stress ... stress incarnating as hunger for something ... and then you eat everything unless otherwise distracted ... baes ects? In some ages this can be fattening too ... but cause mankind to sweat their way through ID ... the primal expression scroo wops? Why the Levite was a healer ... out there with 11-teen sans ... those deuces beyond ... route of the myth of Ka Deuces ... redacted to Caduceus ... a Divine Comedy when perceived from OBI ... a word out of Africa ...? That'd be dark and abstract gnoe, or another gnu in the hearing ... or herd before ... so you know the past!
 
well the good news is that I am a bit lighter than this time last year. The sad news is I still have some pounds to get rid of.
 
The bad news is that I put back on the weight that I had lost, and that after a couple of trips to the ER which were related to losing weight too quickly. Now I'm counting calories again, but this time sslloowwllyy.
 
I read about a guy who went on a garlic and onion diet and lost 70 kgs. Mind you I read it on the internet not in a medical journal so not sure of the veracity. ;)
 
I try. For me, with my medications and health issues, I think the best plan is to try to maintain a healthy balanced diet, get as much exercise as possible (walking, bowling, dancing, doing housework), and try to avoid weight gain. My hopes are that somehow i will start a gradual weight loss - I'd like to be ten pounds lighter by next Christmas. I get weighed at the diabetic clinic that I attend with Seelerman about every third month. My weight is around 176 give or take a pound or two.
 
You seem to be in about the same place I am weightwise Seeler. I try not to get concerned about it, but I certainly don't like the extra weight. My doc thinks I am doing a good job of balancing meds and a variety of health problems and the pain of ancient injuries. Too bad that other people in my life feel a right to make 'rude' comments. If I had a hundred dollars for every put down remark hinting about lack of exercise - poor diet - self indulgence - laziness - lack of discipline - someone else's successful weight loss programme etc., I would be richer than I am. It has taken me quite a long time to learn how to let these comments roll off like water off a duck's back (a bit!). People tend to back off if I respond with a smile and say that my doctor says that is not recommended for me.
 
My sister gave me a misfit shine for Christmas. No criticism involved as she is much heavier than me- or at least larger in cloth sizes. Both her and her daughter are using fitness trackers.
This one is a necklace and syncs to my Ipad.
It also tracks sleep. I slept just over 8 hours last night in 3 bursts. 2 minutes 2 hours and then 6 hours.
I'll see what my activity level shows for today.
 
I lost 2 sizes in 6 months. Not on purpose. I don't know how much I weigh. Probably about 130-135 now. I haven't weighed myself in a couple of years and don't own a scale. I can wear size M or 9/10 pants now maybe 7/8 depending on make but most likely 9/10 (the last ones I tried on). I wasn't quite into the plus sizes before but pretty close at one point. I'm on the healthier side of my average now.
 
Not too sure about this misfit shine.
I wore it yesterday. Around the house, to church and cross country skiing for 2 hours. I didn't make the "goal" it had set for me. I was only about 75% there.

I'm thinking it aims too high and my daily goal might be 1/2 of its target. I'll gather data for a dew more days and see.

That does seem high, if after all that, you didn't hit the target!
 
Can someone tell me - maybe it's tmi, lol. If so, just ignore... But why is it that, as my weight went up a little during my thirties, understandably, so did my bra size - and usually if I would lose weight my bra size would go down too, noticeable to me more than others, but this time I remain a bit "top heavy" even though weight has come off of the rest of me. Some people wouldn't complain but I don't like being top heavy. C - D when I should be B -C, or M rather than L (depending on brand and bra style) by now, for those in the know. It's just not comfortable. Is this normally hormonal as a woman in my early 40's? I have never had kids.
