Hi Everyone. I hope everyone had a fun Halloween and also disposed of leftover treats. I had a wonderful day with my son visiting from New York. Of course I ate too much for my birthday dinner which included lots of salt in restaurant food. It will take me a while to get back to normal what with leftovers and my daughter and grandchildren here for several days beginning
Friday. It will all be worth it. Now we all need to march on to greet the big Holidays.
I have gained 2.5 pounds so weigh 114.5 which isn’t catastrophic since my ideal weight is 115. The trick will be to not gain any more while my family is here. I am sure we will eat out a lot.
Agate, I never cease to be amazed when you continue to stay the same. I am in awe that when you feel hungry you can discipline yourself to eat only a couple of raisins. You should write a book. It would be a best seller! Keep up the courage.
Mamabug, good for you for losing even a small bit with your activities. You definitely continue to win the battle to not regain too much lost weight. Keep up the good work.
Hsmaldo, congratulations on that really nice loss. Congratulations also for avoiding all of those office treats. And one more congratulations for being a new auntie. Keep it up.
Poohb3ar, very good for you for losing weight with all that was going on. Thank goodness you came through the hurricane unscathed. That was wonderful that you could be there for your grandbabies birth. Keep on the bright path.
Msgijo, you did very well weight wise with all the stress. Gaining only .4 pound is truly a very good result under the circumstances. I am so glad your husband is home and pray that he will continue to recover. I will also think of you and him as he proceeds to his next procedure. Hang tough.
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, “Pounding out your meat will help healthier portions go a longer way visually, and it's good stress relief.” I had to laugh when I read this and visualized someone whaling the daylights out of a piece of meat! Oh well whatever works as they say.

. And I actually got several hours of deep sleep last night 
. Its all good since the next "easy" day I see will be on Tuesday - DH goes back into hospital way early Wednesday morning. Hopefully it will be an overnight stay and back home on Thursday.

. Yeah, fatigue is main reason for that. I also have a fitness tracker, which I love. I do not use it to track calories (I know that I should, but too much trouble
