Hi Everyone. Well, we are definitely into fall although the official date has not been reached. When I was young the day after Labor Day was always the day that school started. I would look forward to seeing my school chums and mulling over my new curriculum. Where has the time gone? I hope everyone had a fulfilling Labor Day. As we know there are many social gatherings where all kinds of food is served. I hope you all got by unscathed. I didn’t do anything special which is good because I find myself sliding back into old eating habits which allow those unwanted pounds to reappear.
Zounds! My weight this morning continues to be 113. I am thrilled I maintained that weight for another week. I'll try to do the same in the coming week.
Agate, good for you for maintaining. Even if you don’t get down to your most ideal weight you are still in a very good place. That is a great idea of having one cookie a day. Once visitors left me with a partly used carton of delicious ice cream. I ate between 1 tsp. And 1 tbs. per day until it was gone. Strangely I was satisfied with that amount. Keep up your great record.
Mamabug, I knew you could do it. That is really a good loss. You are back on track to reach your ultimate goal. It doesn’t matter how long it takes because slower can be better. You have a greater chance of keeping it off that way. Keep up the good work.
Hsmaldo, sorry to miss you this week and hope you are well.
Poohb3ar, fantastic! You did so well by being away and still showing a loss. You are on your way to getting into the 140's which can be seen as a real milestone. I know you will be there in no time. Keep those scales going down.
Msgijo, what a good loss! I can see why your clothes have gotten too big. Thank you for your encouraging words. I need them about now as I struggle to keep my new weight down. Keep doing what you are doing.
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, “A Mediterranean diet not only comes with heart benefits, studies show it leads to more weight loss than low-fat diets.” Fat is not our enemy as some would have us believe. It comes down to the kind of fat and the amount eaten. Extra virgin olive oil is the best when making vinegar and oil dressing. Vegetable fats such as found in avocados are filling and heart healthy. They also give a feeling of fulness.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
5.5 pounds by three members. Out of sight! What a week, no gains and losses were substantial. Congratulations to all who were part of this success story. May we continue to be so blessed.
Total Gain:
0 pounds. How satisfying it is to write no pounds. May this category remain empty.
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.
3904.7 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.

. It seems that I am back there again. I gained 2.6 pounds this week - the exact same amount that I had lost the week before 
. Since I am still below my revised goal weight of 125 I will try not to stress it, but it would be nice to tighten the range of this gain / loss cycle. 
. Or hmmm ....
?
