Superbob is pinch-hitting for The Chimp in opening this week's weigh-in thread. The usual day for stepping on the scales for most of us is Friday, but by tradition, we begin it on Thursday, a practice we started to aid our Australian members in coordinating with us.
Summertime may have slowed down activity here a bit, but we're still going, and going, and going, like Energizer bunnies. :tongue2: If any newcomers are reading this, and are interested in shedding a few pounds, this Forum is open to all. We weigh in, we track in our own ways our progress toward weight loss/nutrition/exercise goals, and we have fun and cheer each other on. Sometimes we have "races" to particular holidays, such as Independence Day. We don't have one going right now, but we might crank one up -- maybe to Labor Day? -- at any time.
Superbob will weigh in tomorrow. Haven't had any major hits on portion control this week. Did do fasting bloodwork yesterday and then enjoyed a big breakfast at a favorite restaurant where waitresses call you "sweetie" and "honey" in wonderful Carolina accents. Used sugar-free syrup on my blueberry pancakes, so didn't put a hurtin' on the blood sugar.
Have basically four forms of exercise going now:
1. My daily knee-replacement exercises prescribed by the physical therapists.
2. The best walk Superdawg and I can manage in a humidity bath.
3. Exercise-biking in the community workout room overlooking the pool.
4. Aqua-walking in the pool, done when my grandkiddies beg me to take them. (I hate going there by myself.)
Rarely do I do all four of these in a given day. Two of the four on a given day is pretty much standard; sometimes three.
Hope all Throwdowners are well, including those we haven't heard from in a while. Feel free to jump in here any time and just tell us what's going on with you. We very much want to hear from you.
Cheerio,
SB, the Man of Steel :thumbup:

We also are only 7 minutes away from the beach, but Superdawg and I save that mostly for September to May when the crowds have gone down as well as the heat. In our first step into semi-retirement, we had the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia to walk, so indeed we have been greatly blessed.
