It is Wednesday evening and we are expecting a tremendous storm so I am posting a
Hi Everyone. I hope you all had a fulfilling Father’s Day. My son and his wife were here which was wonderful. They each eat more food than anyone I ever knew. My son has had a large appetite since he was a young child. He is tall and was slender until just a couple of years ago. He and his formerly slender wife started putting on pounds which surprised them. They are not huge, probably about 25 pounds overweight. I mention this because it is an example of what happens over time. We all have a time in our lives when we cannot continue eating usual calories and maintaining weight. It happens to all of us. The solution is so obvious, cutting calories. We must all face this sooner or later and I hope we all will rise to the occasion
As expected, I gained this week due to eating more than usual and eating a great deal more salt.. I gained two pounds so weigh 116. I will try my best to get back to my usual routine.
Agate, good for you for maintaining. I am so impressed by your diligence in counting calories. That is what it is all about. I applaud you for taking note of when you deviate from your optimal plan. Keep on the clear path.
Mamabug, hooray. It sounds like your program with modifications is paying off. I have my fingers crossed that you have broken the barrier. I know that you can succeed. Keep up the good work.
Hsmaldo, so sorry to miss you this week. I hope all is well.
Poohb3ar, how great that your new program is working for you. Being successful at fasting is a real accomplishment. and it shows just how determined you are. You are definitely on your way toward meeting your goal. I know you can do it.
Msgijo, sorry about your gain. That is fortunate that you were a bit below your goal weight so that you don’t have to feel that your gain is a failure. That is why I try to stay a pound or two below my goal. Unfortunately I have not been following that program as vigorously as I could. Keep on the bright path.
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: “The omega-3 fatty acids in salmon may dial up your body's ability to burn fat, especially if you add some exercise.” It is best to eat wild salmon or wild caught salmon because there are nasties in farmed salmon. I eat salmon once a week and really enjoy it. The omega-3 fatty acids are heart healthy to boot .
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
3.7 pounds by three members. Good for us. We are positive examples for the week. It also proves to us that we can do it..
Total Gain:
1.1pound by one member. Remember this is only temporary. You have the opportunity to reverse the trend. I know you can do it. It is a reminder that we all need to be on our best behavior.
Stayed the same:
One member. 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.
3870.2 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.
