Hi Everyone. Well, the Holidays are over and it is time to get back to work. The absence of two regular members this past week is duly noted. I hope people are not feeling discouraged. The fact of the matter is that the Holidays are a trying time for all of us and it is not unusual to gain. The most important thing is to get back on the horse. You can do it. You have succeeded in the past and can do so again. I am rooting for all of you.
I lost some weight due to going back on my low salt way of preparing food. Maybe half a pound is true weight loss rather than just a reduction in salt. The fact of the matter is I am down a pound since last week so weigh 114. I would like to lose one more pound and will try for half a pound this week.
Agate, steady as always. It sounds like you do use restraint when faced with temptations. We should all be so disciplined. Keep up the good work.
Mamabug, so sorry for your significant gain. Focus on your successes and the positive feelings you get when the scale goes down. In the overall scheme of things you have a great track record and you know the strategies that work for you. You can definitely do it again.
Hsmaldo, Sorry to miss you this week. I hope you had a great holiday season.
Poohb3ar, I hope we see you soon in 2017.
Msgijo, good for you. Your strategies not to overindulge are impressive and obviously worked. I hope your husband’s doctor’s appointment went well and also yours. The two of you have truly faced challenges of late. Best wishes to both of you.
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 fourteen 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:
According to an article in US News:
A recently study published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition found that women who ate a 390-calorie egg breakfast containing 30 grams protein ate 135 fewer calories at lunch than when they ate a 390-calorie carb-rich cereal breakfast with 10 grams of protein.
Take a page from their book by striving to eat 20 to 30 grams of protein at breakfast – an amount you can easily achieve with simple recipes like these. The habit will help turn up satiety and tamp down hunger hormones to keep you satisfied for several hours. In addition, protein helps increase metabolism more than carbohydrates or fat.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
0 pounds lost. This is not an unexpected result during the Holiday season with all of the temptations. Next week should show a marked improvement.
Total Gain:
5.4 pounds by two members. This is not surprising with all of the sugar and fat laden temptations all around this time of year. There are better results just around the corner.
[/B][Stayed The Same:[/B]
2 members. As we know, staying the same truly is success, including for those who are maintaining. Just keep remembering it is the time before the next loss if you have more to lose. Also staying the same is a signal that you are eating the right amount to maintain your losses.
3949.3 is the total weight loss for the past 14 years. We have hit a new milestone. We now have less than 100 pounds to reach two tons lost. That is fantastic.

I'm most likely going to cancel all our January dr appointments because it's not worth the headache and I already called Biogen to ask for some emergency doses of Tecfidera since I only have 8 days of meds left. They're going to send me 21 days worth out! That's a huge relief! Hopefully my insurance mess will be straightened out by then!
. For non-diabetics that is what your A1C probably runs so it is a normal level (and highly coveted by diabetics 
).
