Hi Everyone. I happened upon the Dr. Oz show on the 11th and Oprah was his guest. The emphasis was on her struggle with her weight over the years culminating on her latest weight loss plan. Perhaps you all already know she has been on Weight Watchers for a number of months and has lost over 40 pounds. She feels this plan is just right for her. I wish her the best. It is the same old story what is best for one is not necessarily best for another. I tried Weight Watchers a number of years ago with no success whereas Atkins totally did it for me. I was never hungry and lost consistently. Not everyone has such success on that diet but I am thankful I found it. All we can do is find our own way and stick to it. I keep hoping the best for all of us.
Alas I had a substantial gain, 1.5 pounds so now weigh 117. I am totally disgusted with myself and vow to do better this week.
Agate, so sorry to miss you this week. I hope you are well.
Mamabug, that is great that you again lost something. Several weeks losing means you are doing something right. Those fractions add up and also mean you aren’t gaining. Keep up the good work.
Hsmaldo, terrific! What a good loss. I knew you could do it. That is wonderful that the horse show turned out so well. Your pictures are obviously stunning. How wonderful to have such a talent. You don’t have to tell me about time flying. And it does go faster the older one gets. Sometimes we have to catch a breath. Good luck with all of your activities.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you and hope all is well.
Msgijo, sorry to hear you are not feeling shipshape. Also sorry to hear about the gain. I predict you will lose this coming week. Good luck with the appeal. Keep doing what you are typically doing. It certainly works for you.
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, “Turn dinner into a healthy lunch the next day by wrapping your lean leftovers in a whole wheat wrap. Add a little Dijon mustard or curry powder for added flavor.”
This suggestion besides being tasty is also a great time saver.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
3.1 pounds by three members. Congratulations are in order. That is a surprising ratio, losers versus gainers. May we all be losers next week.
Total Gain:
3.1pounds by 1 member. So sorry for the gain but it is bound to happen from time to time. It can be a humbling experience and a reminder that we aren’t perfect but do our best.
Stayed The Same:
0 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.
4023.21 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.

. Oh well, the cobbler was so good (guilty but good). And I did put the rest of the cobbler into single serving portion dishes and into the freezer

. Maybe I can get it to the low end of a high range so that I will not be so tired but still have a high metabolism

Because, you know...life keeps happening and getting in the way!
