I hate the Ab-wheel.

I'm starting to get definition in my arms and legs. I'm even seeing the beginnings of a horseshoe on my deltoids, which would be great if that is what I'm aiming for. But it's not. I still have the back and belly fat, which is what I really want to get rid of. Also I discovered that I have a lipoma on my left shoulder. So now I have to call Dr Pimple Popper to get rid of it for me.

I'm down 10 pounds over the last 3 weeks. I'm hoping to actually get down to 212 by the summer.

I've only gained about five pounds during the Covid era.

My weight has stayed pretty much the same - about 50 lbs too much.

But I have just started Invisalign so I think I might lose some weight avoiding snacks between meals and drinking about 3x as much water as usual.

Scale says 2 pounds lower than last week, though it was only 1 yesterday, so at this point I’m just going to say one. I am finally starting to look like I’m NOT carrying my third child! . I even had some ice cream this week. I’m figuring out how to (and feel ok with) having a treat, or a meal out - but being super careful on the days before and after, so I can continue to lose. (normally, we have something in the house like brownies or ice cream, and I just eat it every day until it is gone. Now Steve gets to eat it until it’s gone and I just have a little bit, and I’m not even sad about it. Today is my 2 week post second vaccine day, and I told myself I would start back with some weight lifting at the YMCA. Hopefully will get to that later today. Haven’t been since last February!

My trip to NY and back on Friday caught up to me... I was 2 lbs heavier than my last weigh in.

I've been exercising every day with nothing to show for it and then suddenly today I've dropped a pound and a half over night. Not sure if it's an aberration.

Just finished a 26 mile bike ride. The rest of the day may well be spent complaining about having to do stuff.

I’m avoiding the daily weigh-in to avoid those day to day anomalies. I am back down to where I was two weeks ago before my sudden gaining of 2 pounds.

I do a daily weigh-in, always in he morning before breakfast, because it shows me the trend, and then I’m not surprised at the end of the week. Yes, the scale goes up and down a little, but that fact actually helps me keep on track. So for example if I go crazy at the barbecue, and the next day the scale has gone back up, just seeing that makes be extra careful for the next couple of days (and the scale reading goes down) So far, that’s working for me.

I find the daily tracking quite interesting. I weigh myself every morning at the same time, and get all the statistics from the scale regarding BMI, fat percentage, etc. It gets a bit dispiriting when nothing happens, or worse, something happens in the wrong direction.

Today was one of the days I went back up (dropped a pound near the end of the week, then back to what I was last Monday). Was kind of expected, this was my birthday weekend.

So, how many tubbo's are left around here?
C'mon, fess-up.
ARE YOU or are you NOT a bonafide tubbo?
Most important, how many words are there for tubbo? Blimp. Fat. BFUH (big fucking ugly hog). Buffalo.
I can't think of any others. Losing my touch I guess.
Fatso. That's definitely it. No more mean words.
I apologize ahead of time for anything above that might hurt some pudgy walking porky's feeeeelings. So there.

My weight is part of my intersectionality bona fides. You could never possibly understand.

I’m back to my March 2020 weight... Which is still fat, but getting better. Another 30 lbs and I’ll feel better.

Cats, that’s great! I didn’t weigh myself on Monday because I wasn’t home - had to make a last minute trip to the east coast to deal with some pretty serious aging parent issues, and the stress is not helping me! Have to go to Seattle for the same reason in a little over a week. (My parents live on opposites ends of the country) Still hovering right around 177, which is 14 pounds down from Feb 1, but I have a long way to go. My goal is go get below 150. I walked a lot in New Jersey, but I also ate ALL the airline cookies on my FIVE flights. Did just send the pants that are too big for me now to the Goodwill. Onward. Getting old sucks.
