Hi Everyone. Halloween is almost upon us. Remember to get rid of all those leftover treats promptly. Your waistline will thank you. I haven’t gotten any treats yet and plan to do so on Friday. For several years we haven’t gotten many trick or treaters at all. I miss all of the happy faces of those goolies and ghosties. We are off the beaten path so many don’t come down our street. I have fond memories of my own trick or treating days as well as those of my children. In those days no one would think of going out before dark. How times have changed.
I’m a little disappointed because I gained half a pound.. I thus weigh 115 and will try to lose half a pound this week I may be overly optimistic though with my son coming for my birthday and I know we will eat out more than once.
Agate, so glad to see you back. My goodness but you have had a busy schedule. Sorry about the problem with your leg. I hope you can find relief. You are right difficult times often result in reaching for all kinds of no nos. You should be proud that in spite of it all you did not gain. I continue to marvel at your ability to maintain a stable weight. You are so right about MS and the repercussion of weight gain. Best wishes.
Mamabug, sorry about your gain but it is not unexpected when on vacation. I hope you had a great time. I am sure you will see the scale go the other way soon. Hang tough..
Hsmaldo, that’s a good loss especially under the circumstances. You really handled that buffet well. Good luck with your retreat. I hope it was a fulfilling experience. Walks along the beach are an excellent idea. Keep up the good work.
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, that’s great that you lost. You continue to maintain a stable pattern. I am pulling for you to show a loss again this week. I know we have entered a challenging time with Halloween kick starting the Holiday season. Keep going in the right direction.
Abidingjones, so sorry to miss you. I hope everything is O.K.
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:
Enjoy Halloween and all the happy faces that come to your door. Look back at happy times of your youth when going trick or treating was a real event. Think of your children’s happy days and the excitement of deciding what would be a cool costume. Halloween is my birthday and sometimes I would have Halloween/Birthday parties. What fun” It is truly a time for celebration. And a little cinnamon spiced cider never hurt anyone. Blessings to all.
