Hi Everyone. Can you believe we have passed the Autumn Solstice. Time does go faster the older one gets. It is not too soon to start planning for the Holidays. Halloween is on the horizon signaling the time to prepare for all of the Holiday festivities. This can be a challenging time for some of us. The old cliché forewarned is forearmed comes to mind. Now is the time to strictly adhere to weight loss goals so that when Holidays are over we don’t feel disappointed or perhaps even ashamed. We are all in this together and I know we can succeed.
I’m sorry to say I gained a pound putting me a pound over my goal weight. I will try to lose half a pound this week.
Agate, once again I am amazed at your ability to stay the same. I predict that you are one who will go through the Holidays unscathed. Best of luck.
Mamabug, Good luck with your plan. It is good that you aren’t thrown by small gains during the process. Keep on truckin’
Hsmaldo, sorry about your gain but the good news is that you are aware of the problem. It might be worthwhile to look up low cal desserts on the internet. I am sure they are there. Also try to cut back a bit on everything especially excess carbs. I am in awe of you walking four miles. That is terrific. I hope you feel better soon. Be well.
Poohb3ar, I hope all is well with you. I hope you drop by before long.
Portia, Sorry to miss you this week. I hope everything is O.K. Please let us know.
Msgijo, sorry we did not hear from you this week but know we are pulling for you.
Abidingjones, good for you for losing especially since you are under the weather. Happy birthday to your dear grandbaby. I am sure you will miss your precious visitors a lot but at least you have wonderful memories. Blessings.
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 says, “Do your grocery shopping with a list and a time limit; that way, you're less likely to stray into the processed foods section.” It is truly worthwhile to keep unhealthy calorie laden foods out of your shopping cart. Out of sight is out of mind as the saying goes.

. I have been trying to get more of his rescue medication, but the insurance needed a prior authorization. His neurologist will not give approval for it because he is no longer in-network with Medicaid (my son is on a Medicaid waiver program, and we have Cigna too). Medicaid has never asked for prior authorization before, so not sure why they are doing it now. I can't buy the medication. The copay is too high for that one.
