Hi Everyone. I am struggling to wrap myself around weight loss issues this week. I had a six months checkup with my gyne on Tuesday and an MRI on Wednesday due to increased MS symptoms which may be an exacerbation. If it is I will be prescribed steroids which as you all know cause miserable side effects including increase in appetite and often weight gain. I will just have to wait for the results. In a way I hope it is an exacerbation because symptoms should decrease but won’t if it is just progression. I hope you are all well and continuing on the bright path of weight loss.
I managed to lose half a pound this week. I hope it is a trend. I now weigh 116 which is one pound over my goal weight. I am still struggling to stay motivated. It’s so easy to say, oh well it’s just a pound over, but the truth is continuing to go up is a real danger.
Agate, so sorry to miss you this week. I hope all is well.
Mamabug, good luck with your break. Your gain this week was fairly minimal. Change of life issues certainly do make weight control more difficult. The good news is that after becoming accustomed to the change further weight loss is less difficult. Good luck in the future.
Hsmaldo, I”m sorry we missed you this week and hope all is well.
Malaholic, I hope everything is well with you. Hope to see you this coming week.
hlburke87, I hope you are continuing to do so well and that we will hear from you when you have a scale available. Actually we would love to hear from you even if you can’t weigh.
Poohb3ar, sorry you are going to need to take a hiatus. We will miss you. But you do need to do what is best at the moment. I hope you will drop in and say hi once in awhile. Very best wishes.
Portia, remember staying the same is success. I hope preparing for your mother’s visit will energize you so that you are increasingly active in preparation. Also, you may be too busy to eat as much as usual. Be sure and eat the right things and you will be ahead of the game. Best wishes.
Msgijo, wow. I got tired just reading about all of your yard work. What wonderful activities. Not only are you getting good exercise but you are truly beautifying your yard. You can come to my house anytime and dig right in. I hope you can get the bulk of what needs to be done before hot weather. Thank you for your suggestions for losing. Keep up your momentum.
Zilphia01, so sorry to miss you this week and hope you will 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 thirteen 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:
Dr. Oz suggests, “Think ahead to how you'll eat and exercise on the weekends. It's easy to get too relaxed on Saturdays and Sundays, but healthy living is a 7-day-a-week endeavor.” This is good advice. We often see weekends as a minivacation so can relax on those days. Bad idea. That can undo a five day effort to stay on the straight and narrow. You may not gain that week but probably won’t lose either. One suggestion for maintenance is to stay on the diet plan but eat more on the weekends. For those of you who want to lose more than you have remember you will do best by staying on your diet plan all seven days of the week.
Weight loss Results for 4-9-15:
Total Loss:
0 pounds. No one reported a loss this week. Hey, we had all better get on the ball here. Several members did not report and I can’t help but wonder if they would have been in the loss column. Seeing the success of others is truly inspirational. Let’s try for a better week.
Total Gain:
2.1 pounds by two members. Posting gains is truly worthwhile. It affirms that change is needed. Reporting gains serves as a warning to others. Reporting gains is an indication that goals are being taken seriously.
Stayed the same:
1 member. 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.
3690.9 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 350 pounds to reach two tons. That is awesome.
