Hi Everyone. I’m in such a state. I downloaded Windows 10 and all kinds of things have changed and I am having difficulty doing routine tasks. My neighbor who is more computer savvy than I said downloading 10 was a bad idea, I thought it would be all right because directions said files would not change. That is more or less true but things are still really confusing.
I hope everyone read at the last post that we have passed another landmark. Total weightloss since the beginning of this blog shows that we have less than 200 pounds to go to reach the 2 ton loss mark. We thus have lost more than 1,800 collective pounds! Let’s work toward the last almost 200 pounds to reach 2000 pounds. We can do it! You are all a part of this amazing statistic. Keep up the good work.
Hooray, I lost one and a half pounds so now weigh 119 pounds. I am thrilled beyond words. I now have four more pounds to discard before reaching my goal weight.
Agate, once again, you are commended for not gaining. Not wanting to buy a whole new wardrobe is a good motivator not to gain. My scale does not show all the ounces just to the nearest half pound. At least you do not have to obsess about every tenth of a pound or some other small fraction. Good luck with your final goal.
Mamabug, you know that staying the same is a positive thing. I hear you regarding less than optimal motivation. I found myself there for a few weeks and it was very discouraging. I hope your enthusiasm returns soon.
Hsmaldo, sorry to miss you this week. I hope all is well. Keep us posted
Poohb3ar, I hope you had a wonderful Holiday Season and that all is well.
Msgijo, that is a very good loss. You are definitely on the right track. Thank you for your comment regarding my stagnation. It helped move me forward. Keep up the good work.
Abidingjones, you are missed. I hope everything is O.K. Do let us know.
I-Bo, drop in again anytime.
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:
Per Dr. Fingerhood: Having a snack.
This is a tricky one. Most nutritionists recommend a mid-morning snack if it's going to be more than four hours between breakfast and lunch. But often, people misjudge the size of their snack and create another actual meal. A 1-ounce serving of almonds is not the same as a 2-ounce serving. Remember, a snack is a mini-meal, and it ought to be less than 200 calories. Plus, it should contain protein, healthy fat or both, or you will most likely be hungry one hour later. In other words, don't just grab a piece of Having a snack.
