Hi Everyone. I feel a bit bummed out. Summer is virtually over and before we know it so will be fall. Then the challenges of winter. Sorry if I sound negative but I am having increasing difficulties walking and it is frightening. I’m having more of a challenge getting my walker in and out of my car. The only bright spot in my reveries is that I am not overweight and don’t have to bear that burden. If I need personal assistance like being partially lifted my weight would not be an impediment. The fact is I have had to have help getting into the van that takes me to and from some of my medical appointments such as giving me a partial lift. The drivers aren’t always the strongest. On to a brighter note, soon the leaves will be displaying their awesome fall colors.
I made my goal. I lost half a pound so weigh 115.5. I still don’t have my freezer fixed so my food choices still are not always the best. I will try to lose another half pound this coming week.
Agate, my goodness but you have been busy. That is bad news about the power failure. As hot as your weather has been having no air conditioning because of the power failure must have been catastrophic. Congratulations for staying the same. Be well.
Mamabug, good for you for showing another loss this week even though it was small. Small is always better than the alternative. Keep up the good work.
Hsmaldo, I hope all is going smoothly with so much going on. Hope to hear from you soon.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you and hope all is well.
Msgijo, so sorry to hear you have been feeling so bad. I do hope you are better now. That’s not a bad loss especially considering where you are in the weight control process. Sorry about your freezer problems. Mine still isn’t fixed. Why is complicated but hope to have it fixed soon. Best wishes.
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, “Make your wardrobe match your goals. As you lose weight donate the clothes that no longer fit you as an incentive to stay on track.”
I have mixed feelings about this advice. The scot in me tells me to keep larger clothes just in case. I have gotten rid of the ones that were much too big but ones that are a bit too large I have a problem donating. That is almost a negative attitude about ongoing success which is not a good thing. I must be more optimistic. My closet will thank me for it.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
1.1 pounds by two members. Congratulations on losing. Every little bit counts. Those fractions do add up.
Total Gain:
.5 pounds by 1 member. I did It again. Sorry to ruin our perfect record for the week. Once again I am an example of what not to do. I hope I am acting as a deterrent.
Stayed The Same:
1 member. 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.
4020.11 is the total weight loss for the past 15+ years. We hit a new milestone. We now have lost over two tons for which we should be proud. That truly is phenomenal.

. Still in range but OH MY! 
. I will try to lose half a pound this week.
. 
. Sorry to hear about the unexpected medical bills. It is always stressful (for me) to have to deal with finances and the 'pot holes' that show up really hurt.

In fact, I've been asked to work another show at the end of September! I have to juggle childcare since my hubby has gone back to work now, but even that is just falling into place, so I'm definitely going to go for it!
