Hi Everyone. I am in a positive mood because Spring is on the way. The very thought uplifts my spirits even though we did not have a horrible winter. It is time to review one’s closet. Are there clothes that are too large or too small. If there are clothes that are a bit snug to absolutely too tight one should vow for them to fit in the not too distant future. Consider giving too large clothes to your worst enemy. LOL Review new fashions and dream about what it would be like fitting into one. Good luck to everyone.
I am elated. The scale is down this week to 116.5. That means I lost 2 whole pounds. I can’t believe it. I’ll try my best to lose at least half a pound this week.
Agate, you are unquestionably the most consistent person on the planet. You are also one of the few people who lost a considerable amount of weight and kept it off. You are a true inspiration.
Mamabug, what a good week! At that rate you will fit comfortably in your Spring clothes. Keep doing what you are doing.
Hsmaldo, so glad to see you back. I think that is great that you are seeing the nutritionist. I am pleased her suggestion to structure dessert eating is working. Your plans are very positive and I hope you are successful in following them. Good luck.
Poohb3ar, I hope you are doing well and that you will drop in one of these days.
Msgijo, very good loss. That is a challenge if you are eating more meals per day. I eat brunch and then dinner so just eat two meals. I honestly don’t have time to eat three. That can be a challenge to eat one more meal than you are used to. Think salad with low cal dressing or no dressing at all. You are so fortunate to have such a computer expert. Best wishes.
Abidingjones, sorry your Fitbit broke. I am totally unfamiliar with it but it sounds like it has been a real help to you. At least you know why you gained a pound. I am sure you will lose it after your Fitbit is repaired. Keep up the good work.
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: “ Beware of "fat-free" or "zero trans fats" foods as you could be trading fats for huge amounts of sugar or sodium.” This is one more reason why we should always read labels. As Dr. Oz states fewer fats do not necessarily translate into fewer calories.
