Hi Everyone. I want to once again put in a plug for Mamabug’s exercise group. For several years I have been exercising regularly, the impetus being having been prescribed physical therapy by my neuro. I know exercise is extremely important for me to be able to function at my best. Since I joined the exercise group I have not missed a single session of my exercise program. That was not always the case before. I don’t want to have to report that I failed to meet my commitment to the group. Best wishes to all of us who struggle to be the best we can be.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. That is to say I stayed the same despite believing I was eating less. Thus, I again weigh 115 which is my goal weight but I want to lose a couple more pounds before my birthday which is on Halloween. I know I will gain a couple of pounds with my son and daughter’s visit.
Well hello, abidingjones. It is so good to hear from you. Having you rejoin our group would be great. We all are continuing to do the best we can and hope you will join us in our endeavors. Best wishes. Karen
Agate, so sorry to miss you this week. I fear that you are still bogged down with many tasks. Do take care.
Mamabug, sorry about your gain but since it is small it is not a catastrophe. I know that based on your pattern that you will soon go down again. It is almost impossible to stay the same week after week. I can’t imagine how Agate does it. The rest of us must settle for weight shifts. Keep up your positive momentum.
Hsmaldo, Happy Birthday. I can tell you reaching 40 isn’t so bad. In fact at this point in my life it sounds really good! I wish you dozens more birthdays. I totally applaud you for your active life. I remained very active for many years after my diagnosis and I don’t regret it one bit but rather celebrate it. I have many wonderful memories I would not have if I had “taken it easy.” May your life continue to be filled with joy.
Msgijo, good for you for not going overboard. I had to smile over your goal to gain .1 pound. I can’t image how I would go about accomplishing that exact amount. You are so right when you said, “even small changes result in big results - if done on a consistent basis.” That should be our mantra.
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.” This tip coincides with my opening statement. I hope you all can take advantage of this tip if you haven’t already. I also hope those who are using those muscles will continue to do so.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
.5 pound by one member. Hsmaldo, good for you for being the one responsible for reporting a loss this week. We all should have been so diligent. Good luck for further losses and may we all join you this coming week.
Total Gain:
2.0 pounds by three members. The gains are small so are not catastrophic. Thank you for reporting which will help us stay alert and on task.
Stayed The Same:
0 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.
4031.51 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.

) and that puts my weight at 117.1 pounds so I am happy - goal is 117 +/- 2 pounds.
. For me the highest title is stayed the same, but I realize that there is still more weight that you wish to lose. Keep up the good fight and you will get there.

, being sick may have been a blessing - at least you didn't drown your sorrow about the job in 'comfort eating'
