Hi Everyone. I hope you will all read the following. I opened my monthly credit card bill and there was a $3000 charge for money withdrawn in Florida. I did not withdraw any money nor have I been to Florida. My neighbor quickly called my credit card company for me and had it erased. I have since learned that the most common way credit cards are swiped which is what happened is in restaurants where the credit card is inserted into a folder and taken to be paid by the server. I had indeed had such an experience that month. Also my credit limit had been raised unbeknownst to me. Obviously this can happen to anyone but I now feel at a disadvantage because it is an extra effort to pay the bill myself. However from now on I will make the effort or to have a companion take my credit card to the counter to be paid. I have to confess I felt especially a victim because of my disability.
Will wonders never cease. Actually I cut portions all week and it paid off. I lost 1.5 pounds so now weigh 115.5. I will try to lose another half pound this week.
Agate, congratulations for continuing to maintain. I am amazed that you are able to stay the same week after week. I am constantly going up or down a pound or two. Do keep up the good work.
Mamabug, that tiny gain is really insignificant. I am eager to hear how your latest plan works. I truly wish you the best with that endeavor.
Hsmaldo, good to see you back. Hopefully going back to work will help you maintain a routine that will help you see that scale go down. I have every confidence that you can do it. Very best wishes.
Poohb3ar, I hope all is well with you. I hope you drop by before long.
Portia, I am truly concerned that we haven’t heard from you for a couple of weeks. I do hope everything is going well.
Msgijo, sorry we did not hear from you this week but know we are pulling for you.
Abidingjones, it is so good to hear from you this week. So sorry to hear about your cold. It is not surprising to gain while away from home. I have every confidence you will reverse that process now that you are back home. Best of luck.
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 fresh herbs can really zing up a healthy meal. Try growing some in the kitchen using a strawberry pot. Preserve the flavor by adding fresh herbs at the end of the cooking process. Fast food is salty food. If you cut back on the salt, in a few weeks you'll be able to better taste the natural salts in food and may not crave the junk as much as you used to.

I had sent information on the medications I use now including the current dosage for all of them. I detailed how I've adjusted my Baclofen and Gabapentin dosing, and how I only take the Diazepam occasionally. I described the two problems I've been having.
