Hi Everyone. I hope you are all safe with all of the tornados and flooding. This has been quite a spring for many people. With it all I hope you are continuing to battle the bulge. Spring is a good time to renew a commitment to pursue your goal of weight loss. We are out of the winter blahs and can enjoy the burgeoning of trees and flowers. What a lift. Make an inner commitment to shed those pounds. Having said that I gained 1.5 lbs but am on 60 mg. of prednisone for seven days with a taper down. I know I am storing fluid and have been careful about my food intake.
Sparky, it’s not bad that you are still on your holding pattern. Keep working at it and you will go down again. With all of your walking I’m surprised you aren’t a stick! Keep up the good work.
Poohb3ar, sorry about your weight gain but it isn’t surprising given the stress you have been under. I hope your mother-in-law continues to do well. The graduation is so close. I will be thinking of you. That’s great that your clothes continue to be looser.
MamaBug, My goodness but you have been under a lot of stress. I am amazed you managed to lose. That is good that the bridegroom was finally able to get permission to get into the country. I hope the five year ban will be rescinded. No wonder you are exhausted. I am sure the wedding will go off beautifully in spite of it all. Blessings. PS: I am thrilled to hear the wedding went so well. May the bride and bridegroom forever be blessed.
Agate, congratulations. I knew you could do it. You are on your way again. I hope spring gives you a new incentive.
Hunterd, I am sorry you did not post again this week. I hope we will see you next week. Blessings
Celloyogi, I’m sorry we didn’t hear from you again this week. I hope everything is ok and that we will see you next week. Blessings
Ccsitter, it was good to hear from you last week. Thanks for letting us know then that you are all right. I hope your b/p is back to normal and staying there. I hope we see you next week. Blessings.
Akafearless, I’m sorry we didn’t hear from you again this week and hope you will return. I hope everything is ok. Blessings
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 over seven 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:
“Pecans are among the most antioxidant-rich nuts,” says Bauer. “They may help prevent plaque formation in your arteries.” In fact, a Journal of Nutrition study (funded partly by the National Pecan Shellers Association) found that consuming pecans can help lower LDL cholesterol levels by as much as 33 percent. Pecans may also buffer your brain health, according to an animal study from the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The vitamin E found in the nuts might delay progression of degenerative neurological diseases. About 18 halves = 200 calories, 21 grams fat
