Hi Everyone. Well as I predicted, my son’s Mothers Day visit had an unfortunate effect on my weight. I know I ate tons more salt which is responsible in the short term on my gain but I cannot blame it all on that. I will try my best to get back on track. It’s a good thing I am not of bathing suit age. I keep reminding myself of health issues and being overweight. My best Mothers Day surprise was a call from my oldest daughter telling me she has continued losing weight the total of which is the loss of a great deal of excess poundage. It is difficult to see one’s child or children packing on the pounds. All we can do is to lead by example.
Alas, I gained another.5 pound this week. I now weigh 118. I will try my best to lose half a pound this week.
Agate, good for you for not gaining. I’m pulling for you to lose the few pounds you said you want to shed. I know you can do it based on your history. Best wishes for your next success.
Mamabug, I am so sorry to hear about your gain. Have you considered going back to your weight loss plan whereby you lost most of your weight. It very well could help you get to exactly where you want to be. Good luck with your efforts.
Hsmaldo, good for you for staying the same. I hope you were able to go to the horse competition. It sounds like a fun time. I’m sorry to hear your work adds so much pressure in your life. I hope things slow down for you. Good for you for controlling eating at the MS event. Keep up your positive attitude.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you again this week. I hope everything is going well in your world.
Msgijo, good for you for staying the same. That result is so positive when you are at your desired weight. Your advice about reducing stress fits right in with my planned tip for the week. May you keep holding your own.
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:
Dr. Oz says, “Use meditation to help you cope with chronic stress, which can lead you to crave feel-good carbs.” He is right about this to which I can affirm both personally and professionally.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
0 pounds. This has not happened for a very very long time. Let’s hope all show a loss next week or at least stay the same.
Total Gain:
2.3 pounds reported. Let us hope we see at least that amount in the Loss column next week. Come on group, we can do it! Reporting gains is an important part of the weight loss process because they remind us that it can happen.
Stayed The Same:
3 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.
3989.51 is the total weight loss for the past 15+ years. We hit a new milestone. We now have less than 11 pounds to reach two tons lost. That is fantastic.

A 20 pound decrease by/before Sept 1st is my goal. I'm having trouble with leg strength. Was in the hospital lately so no skating and just ate whatever was there. I did manage to choose yogurt over ice cream at times but obviously not often enough. I'm going to study nutrition. Add that to my culinary degree and I'm good to go!
