Hi Everyone. I hope you are all doing well. And I hope all will remain safe and sound. That horrible suicide bombing in Manchester England has truly impacted people around the world. I know it affected me and it is hard to get my mind on matters at hand. I hope you are all doing well and are continuing to fight the weight battle. I saw a picture of Cher in concert with a sexy outfit she wore many years ago. She is now 71 and looks great. Of course she has had enhancements but her weight is for real. If she can do it we can do it! Sit back and recommit your weight loss goals whether you are still trying to lose or are maintaining. We may not be Cher but we can strive to be out ideal selves.
I managed to lose a pound this week but my goal was only .5. I thus weigh 117, two pounds over my goal weight. I will try my best to lose half a pound this coming week.
Agate, so sorry to miss you this week. I do hope everything is ok. Do let us know how things are going.
Mamabug, I hear you. Returning to your old plan does sound daunting. I can’ t imagine going back on Atkins. You still remain in a good range which is a true victory. Staying the same this week is certainly positive. Keep up your momentum.
Hsmaldo, good for you for staying the same once again despite the ongoing pressure. I’m glad to hear the horse show was a fun outing. I do hope your car woes are not still plaguing you. I certainly hear you regarding the extreme pressure you have been under. I don’t know how you cope with it so well. Continue counting your blessings.
Poohb3ar, its so good to hear from you. Wow. Two little ones to be totally responsible for is more than many could handle. Do find some time for yourself. That’s great that you lost the recently gained weight. I hope we hear from you again soon. Keep up the good work.
Msgijo, that’s very good that you stayed within your goal weight. Losing more than intended puts you one step ahead in the process. Now if you gain some it won’t be catastrophic. Keep doing what your are doing to avoid gaining more than you would like. You truly are a winner.
Sardi g we would love to have you as a member in our dedicated group. Just weigh at the same time each week and post results. You mentioned Weight Watchers. Past members have lost weight on that program. As I mentioned above each person chooses his or her own method. If you do join WW I hope you will continue reporting on this blog. We are here to cheer you on.
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, “Muscle burns at least four times as many calories as fat does, so try twenty minutes of strength straining two to three times a week.”
I am putting in a plug for Mamabug’s exercise group. Dr Oz is right about this to which I can affirm personally. Exercise enhances one’s overall health whether it be strength training or any exercises of your choice.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
2.3 pounds by two members. Congratulations to you both. Seeing losses is a message to all that it can be done. You two are our inspirations for the week.
Total Gain:
.5 pound reported by one member. Guess who. I do confess. It just shows it can happen to the best of us. LOL Reporting gains is an important part of the weight loss process because they remind us that it can happen.
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.
3991.91 is the total weight loss for the past 15+ years. We hit a new milestone. We now have less than 10 pounds to reach two tons lost. That is fantastic.

. I had chips one night as my bedtime snack (more than a serving), we ate out one day and even I could taste the salt (sodium) and I got a pie so that I could have warm pie with icecream on top of it as a dessert (yum).
