Hi Everyone. Oh my, I just read that we are almost ready for daylight savings time to go off which I think it said will occur on Oct. 31. It is a reminder of just how short the days are getting to be. I hope none of you are plagued with seasonal affective disorder which is so common. The lack of light truly can affect mood. Some people add therapeutic lights to chase away the gloom. A caveat. Appetite can also be affected when one feels down in the dumps. It is best to keep fresh fruits and veggies available for times when food cravings are present. Keep all of the high cal, high carb, high sugar and high salt foods out of the house. Your waistline will thank you.
I’m delighted to say I lost another pound which was beyond my expectations. I thus weigh 114.5 and will try to lose half a pound again this week.
Agate, So sorry to miss you again this week. I hope everything is going well.
Mamabug, good for you for losing. The most important thing is that you did not go up. I hope you have a wonderful vacation. Give some thought to portion control since you will probably be eating in restaurants. Maybe the break in routine will help spur you on when you return.
Hsmaldo, Excellent loss! Good move, your cutting down on the creamer. I hope you came from the Indian restaurant unscathed! Hate to say it but I love Indian food. That is very good that you are logging your calories. It can be a pain but it forces one to face the truth about what’s going into one’s mouth. I applaud you making small changes. Good luck.
Poohb3ar, it was great to hear from you recently. I do hope all is well.
Portia, so sorry to miss you again this week. I hope we hear from you soon.
Msgijo, sorry about your gain especially after having a good week with more exercise. With accomplishing that yard work I am surprised you did not lose. I trust this was a fluke and you will see the scale go down this week. Keep the faith.
Abidingjones, that is an excellent loss but I am so sorry it is under such miserable circumstances. I do hope you are better. Dental problems are the worst. I have two cavities I have to have filled next week and I am dreading just that which is nothing compared to what you are going through. 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, “take a 30-second break in the middle of your meal. Evaluate just how hungry you still are before getting back to your food.” This can be more helpful than it sounds. Too often we just keep chomping away as though we were starving. It is helpful to realize we are no longer as hunger as we think we are.
