Hi Everyone. Halloween draws nearer. It is a good idea not to buy treats too far in advance because they can be a temptation. Also it’s a good idea not to buy too many so as not to have many leftovers. Halloween is happy and sad for me because it is my birthday. It is a happy occasion because of all the good wishes that come my way but sad because it is a reminder of just how fast time is going by. My oldest son is coming which is a very happy occurrence. A boon is that he can hand out treats which is difficult for me to do at this juncture.
I am in shock. I weighed 111 pounds this a.m. I ate the way I have been eating for the past couple of months. I had no intention of going down that far. Last week I weighed 113.5 and I had hoped to lose half a pound. As you can see I lost 2.5 pounds. I hope I can gain a couple of pounds somewhat slowly. I’ll try to gain .5 to 1 pound this coming week.
Agate, I commend you for being so faithful to your diabetes diet. As we all know not everyone is so rigorous with sad consequences. I have a sister in law with Type One diabetes who is also very rigorous and has reaped the benefits for doing so. Your suggestion of loading up on low cal veggies is an excellent idea. Keep up the good work.
Mamabug, how wonderful that you had such a good time on your trip. I am sure you will have many fond memories for a long time to come. Don’t fret about your weight gain. I am sure it was worth it from what you say. And I am sure it will come off soon as you go back to your usual routine. Get back on the horse.
Hsmaldo, so sorry to miss you and hope you aren’t stressed out with your really busy schedule.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you and hope you will be back soon.
Msgijo, sorry about your gain. I really like your optimistic attitude. I am sure that is a major factor in keeping unwanted weight off which you are so good at. I’m pulling for you to meet the goal you set for the week. Keep up your enthusiasm.
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, “Eat a rainbow of colors. Have at least one brightly colored fruit or vegetable in each meal, and, if appropriate, eat the skins -- that's where you'll find a powerhouse of antioxidants.” That is good advice because following it will enhance one’s health while not loading up on calories.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
0 pounds lost. I have every confidence that the coming week will show a turn around.
Total Gain:
4.1 pounds by three members. We should be commended for reporting the truth rather than ignoring the gain. Admitting it shows a goal to turn things around which I have every confidence that we will.
Stayed The Same:
1 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.
3921.9 is the total weight loss for the past 14 years. We have hit a new milestone. We now have less than 100 pounds to reach two tons lost. That is fantastic.

. I suppose that is a good thing, but I really don't feel like eating.
