Hi Everyone. I just want to express my undying appreciation for this group. Expressing my successes and failures really does keep me from regaining lost weight. Your suggestions are valued. I realize I don’t know everything and welcome different points of view. I would truly be lost without a weekly weigh in. I suppose I could join a group like Weight Watchers or TOPS but I have found them less effective than is this forum. Besides getting to meetings has become a daunting endeavor, It is increasingly more difficult to get out and about. All I can say is Thank You to one and all. And keep fighting the good fight.
Happy days are here again. This week I weigh 115 so lost two pounds. I am thrilled and will try to lose half a pound this coming week.
Agate, good going as usual. Sorry to hear about all of that daunting paper work. I hope it ends soon. I’m also sorry to hear about your pesky internet connection. I hope that has been corrected. Keep on truckin’.
Mamabug, so sorry about your gain after several weeks of losses. I do hope you can get back to your losing mode. I know you can do it. Your successful history tells me so. Do get back on the horse.
Hsmaldo, sorry about your gain but glad it was no worse. I hear you about “life getting in the way.” With all of your responsibilities I marvel that you are able to take out some time for your weight loss goals. It is a good idea to do as you said, to take changes slowly. I have every confidence that you will get there. Congrats on the new kitty. That should be fun.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you and hope all is well.
Msgijo, congratulations on the loss. That cobbler sounds beyond delicious. Good for you for saving it in small portions. Sorry to hear about your thyroid being overactive. I hope results of taking medication won’t throw you off weight wise. I am sure you will adapt just fine.
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, “Give your protein extra low-calorie flavor by adding a salsa or chutney instead of a gooey cream sauce.”
This seems like obvious advice but changing flavors is certainly worth considering. Using the same flavors all the time can be boring. Many of us have restricted certain foods that we found delicious in the past. Low calorie flavors can add zest to ones life. Try experimenting.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
.5 pound by one member. Congratulations to our one member who is in the loss column. It’s good to have a reminder that it can be done. May we all be here this coming week.
Total Gain:
4.7pounds by 3 members. Sorry about all the gains. Thank you for checking in. We need to be reminded that it can happen to the best of us. May we all be in the loss column next time.
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.
4023.71 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 a bummer 
. I will attempt to lose half a pound this week.
. Sounds like you maybe got your freezer problems resolved? In any event keep up the good work.
. Like you, I can usually pinpoint the reason why I gain weight, but not always. Same with losses - sometimes I am surprised when I show a big loss and haven't done anything that much different 
. I guess all that we can do is to continue to eat the way we know is right for us and roll with the fluctuations.
.
. I can say that because last year I acquired a couple of felines (one kitten and one was grown). They were both SUPOSE to be 'barn cats' but spend more time in the house than outside
