Hi Everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I certainly did with my oldest son and daughter in law here. Time marches on. We need to go back to our weight losing strategies in preparation for Christmas with all the festivities. Keep in mind how much happier you will be if you get through the next few weeks a couple of pounds lighter. I know some will be going to various social gatherings with all kinds of delicious temptations. Don’t try to deny yourself totally but keep in mind reasonable restraint. S
I really gained thanks to Thanksgiving. I am ashamed to say I gained 3.5 pounds which is really huge. I had hoped not to go over 115 this week but alas. I will try to lose a pound in the next week.
Agate, I can scarcely believe it. Even with Thanksgiving pending your scale did not budge. I never ceased to be amazed. Keep on the bright path as usual.
Mamabug, sorry about the small gain. Just be thankful it wasn’t more. I hope Thanksgiving dinner was wonderful and that you did not fret about gaining a small amount last week. You continue to have long term success. Keep it going.
Hsmaldo, your very small gain should be seen as a success under the circumstances. I am very impressed with all of the effort you made to make favorite dishes more diet friendly without sacrificing flavor. You should be commended for your success.
Poohb3ar, remember that you gain was tiny and that you are succeeding over time. It is wise that you are looking at the big picture and are not thrown by the very small gain. I know you will continue to lose. It is a good idea to revise your long range plan through the Holidays. Keep up your momentum.
Msgijo, you continue to be in good shape despite that small gain. I know you can get through the next week with no problem. Good luck.
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:
Focus on your successes over the year and imagine how pleased you will be if you get through the Holidays with no gain and perhaps even a nice loss.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
0 pounds. This is not one of our better weeks but not no doubt better days are coming.
Total Gain:
1.8 pounds by four members. The good new is that the majority of gains were very small. Let’s hope next week shows something in the Loss column.
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.
3937.1 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.
