Hi Everyone. I continue to struggle with Windows 10 but am slowly adjusting to some things. Others remain as clear as mud. AOL is different which makes no sense to me since they are different operating systems. I hope you are all adjusting to the Holidays being over with fewer temptations. The cold weather isn’t helping though. I hope none of you were caught in that terrible snow storm on the East Coast.
Hooray, I lost one pound this week so now weigh 118 pounds. I am pleased that I have something to show for my efforts. I now have three more pounds to discard before reaching my goal weight.
Agate, once again, you are commended for not gaining. Your consistency never ceases to amaze me. Being such a yo yoer I can’t imagine not going up regularly. Keep doing what you are doing.
Mamabug, good for you for having lost over half a pound. It is great that you show a loss for all of January. You are definitely headed in the right direction. Remember that slow can win the race. Keep up the good work.
Hsmaldo, sorry about your gain but it sounds like you are really sizing up the situation. You are so right about habits being hard to change. It is so easy to succumb to eating or drinking comfort foods. I have confidence that you will work this challenge out. Good luck.
Poohb3ar, I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season and that all is well.
Msgijo, so sorry to miss you this week. I hope everything is ok.
Abidingjones, good for you for losing especially under the circumstances. I’m so sorry to hear of your son’s challenge. I do hope he is well. I truly admire your determination to reach your weight loss goal. I know you will make it. Blessings.
I-Bo, drop in again anytime.
For those who may have an interest in joining our dedicated group, our members each have their own personal methods of weight loss. Some are on Weight Watchers, some on Atkins for example and some just cut calories. I personally lost quite a lot of weight in the beginning using Atkins and then just cut portions while eating everything. The method is not the most important thing, it is staying focused and following the plan.
We post weight loss, gain, stayed the same, from Thursday to Thursday and have been doing so for thirteen years. We are truly dedicated to get rid of those pesky pounds and keep them off. You don’t have to state your actual weight. It’s a matter of choice.
Tip For The Week:
Per Dr. Fingerhood: Not counting the calories from alcohol.
You would think this would be a no-brainer, but too many people sabotage their weight-loss efforts by their cocktail consumption. Cocktails don't need to be flat-out avoided, but you can't drink like a fish on the weekends and reach your weight-loss goals – no matter how well you eat during the week. And watch the size of your weekday pour – a 6-ounce glass of wine doesn't have the same calories as a 12-ounce glass.

. Not unexpected since week before last DH and I were running around trying to get everything together for his surgery - approvals and leave from work forms etc. - and since we were out so much it just made sense to eat out (NOT but sounded good at the time). Last week was his surgery. It went well but a lot of running around for me, and so yeah fast food looked really good.
