Hi Everyone. Happy Easter. I hope you all have a wonderful day. I hope the weather is conducive for egg rolling contests. Unfortunately for some of us Easter is also time when various sugar laden treats are plentiful. Many also have family dinners with favorite foods which may also be calorie laden. Keep in mind portion control as best you can.
I am pleased. The scale is down this week to 115.5. That means I lost half a pound. I hope I can lose another half this week.
Agate, I am so glad to hear you are better. Sorry about the osteopenia but am glad you are addressing it. I also have it probably from all the steroids I have taken over the years. I have been on Fosamax in the past but haven’t taken it for a few years. I had one drug that was every six months but I have forgotten the name of it. I don’t know what will be next after I see my gyne. Good luck with it all.
Mamabug, Good for you for staying the same especially since you have been showing steady losses of late. Good luck over the holiday. You are really fortunate to have two techies in your household. Keep up the good work.
Hsmaldo, it is good that your gain was less than a pound. That was a good idea to freeze the cake in small portions. I wish you the best over the Holiday. .
Poohb3ar, I hope you are doing well and that you will drop in one of these days.
Msgijo, sorry about your gain. Don’t beat yourself up over it but rather just get back on track. We all have those ups along with the downs but just keep more of the downs coming. Best wishes.
Abidingjones, so sorry to miss you this week. I do hope you are not still sick. Do let us know.
Wholenewworld, sorry to miss you this week and hope to hear from you soon.
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:
Holiday time is usually fraught with sugar laden goodies. In the past some members have reported how much they love Cadbury Eggs. Of course at Easter there are also various kinds of sugar laden treats like jelly beans. The best thing to do to get back to normal is to get all of the goodies out of the house the day after the Holiday. Your waistline will thank you for it.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
2 pounds by one member. Losses can be very gratifying. Losses are also proof positive that it can be done. Losses also mean a move toward health and beauty.
Total Gain:
2.6 pounds by two members. Congratulations for admitting the truth. It is easy in life to ignore what we don’t like rather than facing reality. Being honest about gaining is a sure sign of taking the process of losing seriously.
Stayed the same:
2 members . As we know, staying the same truly is success, including for those who are maintaining. Just keep remembering it is the time before the next loss if you have more to lose. Also staying the same is a signal that you are eating the right amount to maintain your losses.
3828.6 is the total weight loss for the past 13 years. We have hit a new milestone. We now have less than 200 pounds to reach two tons lost. That is fantastic.
