Hi Everyone. Can you believe it is almost February already! It is not too soon to start thinking about Spring and what new wardrobe changes we may need. Try to use Spring fashions as a motivator to get rid of a few pounds. Think of what you would like to wear considering your new projected weight. I found in my weight loss journey as I came closer to my goal weight I would wear things I would never think of wearing when I was a butterball. Spring is truly a time of renewal.
I am sorry to report that I gained half a pound this week so now weigh 116. I am somewhat surprised because I really did watch my food intake. I will try my best to get rid of that extra half pound this week.
Agate, so sorry to miss you this week. I hope you aren’t continuing to need dental work. Do let us know how you are.
Mamabug, good going. That loss is almost a pound which is a good loss. Losing when so close to one’s ideal weight can be a greater challenge than when one has a lot to lose. Keep those fractions coming off.
Hsmaldo, it is so good to see you returning. That is wonderful that your sister was there for you during your surgery recovery. That was a boon that you lost weight but sorry you gained some back. But do not despair I know you can reverse that trend. Best wishes.
Malaholic, sorry about your gain but I am sure it is temporary. Just keep on with your weight loss plan and it will show on the scale in no time. Don’t be discouraged..
hlburke87, just remember that staying that the same is success. It is much better than gaining and truly is the time before the next loss. You are so close to being in a new decade which you can use as an incentive. Best wishes.
Poohb3ar, another good loss. Good for you. Following the plan laid out in your book is a great idea. That helps keep one focused. Thanks for tips on eating in restaurants. Ordering from the kid’s menu is a terrific idea. I actually did not know restaurants allowed such. Ordering appetizers or side dishes is also a good idea. Keep your focus.
Portia, what a good loss! Congratulations. You are definitely headed toward your goal weight which I have every confidence will happen. Keep up the good work.
Ailsinngrace, sorry to miss you but hope we hear from you this week. Be well.
Barrister16, so sorry to miss you this week. Do let us know how you are doing.
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 eleven 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.
Dried fruit sounds like a healthy snack, right. Not so fast. It may or may not be. Commercial dried fruit is usually laced with sugar and salt. Also, it is very easy to snarf down a large amount of dry fruit because it seems like it is so little. Home dried fruit is better than most commercial dried fruit but still has the dense factor. It must be weighed or measured to maintain calorie control.

1 member. Good going. As we know, staying the same truly is success, especially 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.
3645.0 is the total weight loss for the past 12 years. Now we have hit a new milestone. We have now lost over 1.75 tons in total. That means we only need to lose another approximately 400 pounds to reach two tons. That is awesome.
