Hi Everyone. Spring is in the air. I know we will still have some bad weather but the current warming trend is encouraging. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, especially to the Irish among us. Just don’t over celebrate by eating or drinking too much. Also happy the first day of Spring. I am celebrating a return to daylight savings time. I love that extra hour of light in the evening. I am also celebrating a one pound loss. Cutting out avacados and cutting back on walnuts seems to have worked. I am now at 117.5 so have 2.5 more pounds to go to reach my third weight goal.
Sparky, two pounds is terrific. I just knew you could do it. It sounds like recording has really worked for you. Keep up the good work.
Poohb3ar, Congratulations on your loss and breaking that barrier. Now that you know how to do it you can keep it up. Best of luck.
MamaBug, .2 pounds is a loss and nothing to fret about. You have lost quite a bit of weight in total and slowing down is not surprising. I know you will keep the downward trend going. I am impressed that you did not gain while on vacation. Good for you.
Agate, Remember staying the same is success. I know it can be frustrating to stay the same two weeks in a row, but you will resume going down soon. Those last few pounds can be the hardest to shed but you will do it.
Victory1, sorry to miss you again this week. I hope everything is O.K. Please let us know.
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:
Today I want to talk about the pleasure principle and how it can affect what you eat. Eating while engaging in other activities can increase the chance of eating again while doing said activity. That is why it is not good to eat in front of the television. It is best to eat only at the table so that other activities are not associated with the pleasure of eating food.
