Hi Everyone. I am feeling better today so presume my UTI has been successfully treated. I was just going over my archives and I found earlier reports for our group than I previously reported. Our dedicated group has been in existence since 10/01 which is over 15 years. People have come and gone over the years. I don’t know if you all read the Total Weight Loss statistic at the end of this report. We have less than 50 pounds to lose to reach 2 tons (2000) pounds. That is truly awesome. I can’t help but wonder how old members are doing weight wise. I am so thankful to this group because I don’t think without all of you I would have lost my initial weight and then stayed within an acceptable range. My sincerest thanks to you all both past and present members.
I can’t believe it. I weighed 112 this morning so lost 2.5 pounds. This is below my goal weight and I only wanted to lose 1.5 pounds. Now I am concerned that I am unwell in some way. I am going to increase my food intake slightly this coming week.
Agate, so sorry to miss you this week. I hope everything is O.K.
Mamabug, congratulations on your loss. It can be hard when near the goal weight. But I have every confidence that you will do it. I plan on participating in your exercise group. I have not been exercising since I have been sick and am motivated to start again. Keep on doing what you have been doing.
Hsmaldo, so sorry about your gain. I have every confidence that you can reverse the process. I do hope your insurance woes have been resolved. That extra hour of work per day can be a real burden and can throw everything off. I hope things settle down at work soon. Keep plugging away.
Poohb3ar, it’s so good to see you back. I’m sorry about your small gain but know you can reverse the process. You have been doing very well in the weight loss process for a long time now. I admire your persistence. You will definitely reach your goal. Keep the faith.
Msgijo, that is a nice loss. I am under the impression that you don’t want to lose more. You are truly at a good weight. I hope you can maintain your weight exactly where you want it. Your comment about getting rid of goodies in the house is an excellent one. I hope your husband is successful in losing. You are certainly a good example for him. Keep up the good work.
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 over 15 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:
I just read something on line, an extensive article about bananas. One claim is that the scent of bananas can reduce appetite. I have no idea if it really works but I am going to try it. If others try it I would be interested in feedback.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
1.5 pounds lost by two members. Fraction of pounds truly counts. They not only add up but prove to oneself and others that it can be done. Both of you are examples of success. You count as our inspiration for the week.
Total Gain:
3.9 pounds by three members. You are congratulated for reporting. It is an acknowledgment that the process needs to go the other way. It also serves as a reminder to all that gains happen. Reporting gains truly keeps us on our toes.
Stayed The Same:
No 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.
3956.6 is the total weight loss for the past 15+ years. We hit a new milestone. We now have less than 50 pounds to reach two tons lost. That is fantastic.
