Hi Everyone. I hardly know what to say after that horrible slaughter in Orlando. I pray that those injured will recover. One of those killed is reported to be a woman who had just completed losing 200 pounds. She must have been feeling so gratified for making such a huge change in her life and health. How sad that she was not able to enjoy her new transformation to the fullest. May all of the deceased rest in peace.
Hooray! I lost a pound this week so am one pound below my goal weight at 114. I would like to lose one more pound and I will try to lose half a pound this week. This may not be possible because my son and his wife are dropping by on a trip to Missouri.
Agate, good for you for once again not gaining. Your experience in limiting treats to very small amounts is excellent. When my grandson was here he bought a carton of yummy ice cream and of course left quite a bit. I allowed myself to have a teaspoon to a tablespoon every few days until it was gone. I felt a sense of satisfaction that I was able to follow that plan. Keep up the good work.
Mamabug, I am truly sorry that your new program has not shown results yet. The not so bad news is that your gain this week was really tiny. I hope you don’t get discouraged with your program and just give up. I should think counselors could give useful suggestions. Hang tough.
Hsmaldo, so sorry to miss you this week. I hope all is well.
Poohb3ar, good for you for the small loss. Keep us informed as to how your new program goes. It being for such a short amount of time should help you stay focused and enthusiastic. Do keep up your commitment .
Msgijo, Good for you for your loss. How gratifying that you continue to be at your goal weight. To answer your question about my staying at my goal weight is that I am pretty rigorous about monitoring my food intake every day. The truth is I am constantly going up or down a pound or two, occasionally more. When I have company and we eat out I invariably gain a couple of pounds but I then go right back to watching portions. Portion control is the key. It really is more of how much one eats than what one eats. See my answer to Agate regarding eating goodies. I know you will succeed. I have to say also that reporting results once a week for all to see is a great incentive for me. I don’t know what I would do without all of you.
Abidingjones, I am concerned about you and hope you are O.K. Hope to see 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 fourteen 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: “Think ahead to how you'll eat and exercise on the weekends. It's easy to get too relaxed on Saturdays and Sundays, but healthy living is a 7-day-a-week endeavor.” This can be a greater problem than we realize. Many engage in social activities on the weekend and are presented with temptations that are not there during the week. Many go to restaurants or other social gatherings on the weekends. It is important to accept that weight control needs to be a seven day endeavor.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
1.7 pounds by two members. Very good. You two are a reminder that it can be done. Large losses or small losses show a movement in the right direction. May we all follow your lead.
Total Gain:
.2 pound by one member. Thank you for reporting. That increases the probability that you will be in the loss column in the coming week. And it is a reminder that we all need to be on our best behavior.
Stayed the same:
Two 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.
3869.5 is the total weight loss for the past 14 years. We have hit a new milestone. We now have less than 200 pounds to reach two tons lost. That is fantastic.

. Not really sure why, but I am leaning towards having too much sodium. I did add a few small meals - but they truly were small meals. I had thought that it would be just enough to not loose more 
. But like I said still below goal, so I won't stress it - well as long as I can get a handle on it this week.
. Best of luck this week.
. And thanks for letting me know that a pound or two isnt all that important in the larger picture - as long as I can see that maybe I need to be a little more vigilant the following week.
). I went grocery shopping the other day and was so discouraged that everything seemed to be over sized. The amounts, the packaging. Who can eat a loaf of bread before it goes bad? Why can't they sell like 4 slices of bread? Brownies? They sell them in packages that just imply that you have to eat half a dozen a day 
. At least with ice cream you can always get just one spoonful and leave it for another day
