Hi Everyone. I’ll try to keep my mind on matters at hand. The incredible news of the taking down of Osama bin Laden is still on my mind. Happy Mother’s Day to all of you mother’s out there. It’s fantastic that eight people reported in this week. I commend those who gained for reporting because I know it isn’t easy to see gains in black and white. Just keep remembering that this week can be different. Temperatures rising can give a lift for those who were suffering winter doldrums. Think about summer clothes and how great you will look in them with your new dimensions. I stayed the same this week so still weigh 115.5. I’m almost there so staying the same is just fine.
Sparky, don’t fret over a one pound set back. You have been doing very well. I continue to be blown away by all of your walking. Good for you.
Poohb3ar, don’t fret. Your small gain is not surprising being you are on steroids. I hope you don’t still have cadbury eggs around to tempt you. Sorry to hear about your spill and am glad to hear you weren’t seriously injured. Better luck this week.
MamaBug, steady as she goes. You have done great with a consistent weight loss over time. I know you will keep it up until you reach your goal. Keep up the good work.
Agate, Fantastic. I just knew you would show a substantial loss one of these days, and sure enough you did. You must be close to your goal weight. Sorry to hear that part of your loss may have been due to worries about your cat. Seizures can be truly frightening. I hope she is doing better.
Hunterd, Don’t be too disappointed about staying the same. It is truly better than gaining. I’m sure you will do better this week. Just keep plugging away and you will get there.
Celloyogi, you are so right. A loss is a loss no matter how small. All of those half pound losses really do add up. You are going in the right direction. Too bad about the cadbury eggs being gone but it is probably a good thing. Keep going in the right direction
Ccsitter, three pounds is amazing. Congratulations. I am so glad to see you back this week and hope we will see you again next week. I hope you win the contest and get the prize in your weight loss group. You can do it. Do let us know how it turns out. Fingers crossed.
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:
Pistachios are healthy nuts to add to your diet. Their shells make them especially dieting-friendly: “Eating them in the shell automatically slows down your pace so the snack lasts longer and you eat less overall,” says Bauer. They may also help you breathe easier: University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center researchers found that eating two ounces of pistachios daily may reduce the chance of developing lung cancer. Pistachios are rich in the antioxidant gamma-tocopherol, a form of cancer-fighting vitamin E. Pistachios are also packed with potassium, a mineral essential for a healthy nervous system and muscles, and are a good source of vitamin B6, which can lift your mood, fortify your immune system, and more. About 50 nuts = 160 calories, 14 grams fat. A caveat: I broke my two front upper incisors breaking open pistachio shells. Don’t do that.
