Hi Everyone. Time marches on. I do hope you all had a wonderful Easter. My celebration had to be over the phone since I am so far away from loved ones. Now it is time to get serious. Review your weight loss goals and which have been working for you or ones that have been helpful in the past. At this point for me it is a matter of watching closely those pounds that want to creep back. I know that if I gain a pound or two I just need to exercise portion control. I know I will never be able to stay the same week after week like Agate so I must do the next best thing which is to stay within an acceptable range, a couple of pounds over or under my goal weight.
I gained a pound this week which is disappointing but not surprising. I thus now weigh 115 pounds. I will try to lose a half pound by the next weigh in.
Agate, so glad to see you back. I am sorry to hear of your son’s kidney stone. My son went through that about a year ago. I know they are extremely painful. I like your positive attitude regarding losing a couple of pounds. I know you can do it.
Mamabug, sorry about forgetting your scale. It is fortunate you have an extra one available. Of course there may be a slight variation but it shouldn’t be significant. I am sure you will be back to getting rid of a little weight following your vacation. Best wishes.
Hsmaldo, so sorry to miss you again this week. I hope everything is O.K.
Poohb3ar, so glad to see you back. That is fantastic, over two pounds lost. I am sure taking care of the little ones is good exercise and probably keeps your mind off food to boot. That is wonderful that your daughter is cooking healthy meals. Keep up the momentum.
Msgijo, sorry about the gain. However some of it may be due to high sodium via soy sauce. At any rate based on history you will get rid of those couple of pounds very soon. Keep your positive attitude.
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:
Checking the reliability of one’s scale is not a bad idea. An easy way to do that is to weigh on home scale and then with the same clothes on and the same amount of food eaten weigh on a scale that is likely to be reliable such as your doctor’s scale. If they don’t match adjust the home scale accordingly.
I was concerned that my scale was not accurate so I did the above, weighed on my scale and with all variables constant weighed on my doctor’s scale. Much to my delight my weight was exactly the same. I was surprised and comforted by the results. Now if I gain I cannot say it is my scale’s fault. LOL
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
2.7 pounds lost by two members. Congratulations are in order. We have once again affirmed that it can be done. May we all follow suit next week.
