CJ,
So sorry to hear your family is sick. Makes more work for you.
Thats Ok that you cannot weigh in we can just think positive and next week when you do weigh in you can see an even bigger loss. YEA more squares

But I guess that is exercise because I lost 2.2 pounds.
That brings me up to a grand total of 15.2 pounds. I am working on my quilt but I am not making squares. I am making a quilt background and adding leaves for each pound. Almost finished with the background.
Thanks for listening to me. It helps to have a team of freinds to help you along the way.

Congrats, Nana! Keep up that exercise!

I found a possible pattern, but it has too many blocks. I don't have 49 pounds to lose. Maybe I can add pounds and inches to boost the number. I found a FQ with my colors. When I looked for the bolt, it wasn't available as yardage at this shop. Gah-h-h. Ah, well, I need to lose some pounds before I invest some pricey fabric. I have two rooms full of fabric as it is, but it isn't all for quilting.

Note to self: No fabric purchases until 5 pounds are gone.

Do most of you weigh in once a week?

My walking partners (2 dogs) are waiting me. Have a good evening.

I have started weighing in once a week, since I started doing the weight loss challenges. Before that I only got weighed at the doctor's office! I wonder if I could train my cat to be a walking partner????

irishrose I weigh in once a week but not more than that because it can be too discouraging.

Lauriejo you know some ppl do train their cats to walk on a leash. My sister and bil trained their cats. I myself could never put a leash on a cat I always thought they should run free like the lions and tigers and come and go from my house as they please.

I weigh in once a week. But if I am tempted or especially hungry, I hop on the scale. It usually stops me from going off track.
