Hi Everyone. I hope you all had a loving Valentine’s Day. I also hope you weren’t bombarded with candy or other sugary delectables. Flowers are a much kinder sign of affection to those who are battling the pounds. If you are stuck with sugary no nos just give them to your worst enemy. We have been in a perpetual deep freeze with snow every day for about two weeks. My roof had to be shoveled to avoid a catastrophe. As it is I have water leaking from my roof to the living room. Ugh. I am truly looking forward to spring.
I lost half a pound this week so now weigh 114. I will try to lose another half pound this coming week.
Agate, I failed to get your report last week so will give it this week. Sorry about your gain and hope you are back to your steady self. Best wishes.
Mamabug, sorry about your tiny gain. Just be thankful it wasn’t more. I hope this week was better for you. You will definitely want to fit into your favorite spring clothes in a few weeks. Good luck.
Hsmaldo, so sorry we didn’t hear from you this week. I hope everything is o.k.
Msgijo, having the flu is really a bummer. I do hope you are feeling better. I’m sure gaining has added to your misery. I am sure you are right about salt adding to your gain along with your medication. I do hope everything is back to normal. Be well.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you and hope all is well. I hope the New Year is treating you well.
Abidingjones, so sorry to miss you this week. Hope to see you this coming week.
LisaL77, sorry about your gain but it truly might be because of all the salt. When my son visits and we go out for Indian cuisine I am sure to gain several pounds. Of course I also eat more and then there are the left overs. I suspect you will be back to normal this week. 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, “Picture your goal weight the next time a trigger strikes to help you resist temptation.” This truly can be helpful. If you do this focus on how happy you will be when you reach that magic number.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
.5 pound. I am pleased about the loss. May we all be in this column next week.
Total Gain:
6.2 pounds by three members. It takes courage to admit the truth. May we all be in the loss column next week.
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.
4058.51 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.

He's going to follow-up with a rheumatologist, but he doesn't seem to be overly concerned about it. I on the other hand, managed to freak out about it--only one of us are allowed to have a chronic disease and I got there first!! 
So we'll see in a few weeks how this starts to play out. I know from my experience with MS that we won't get a diagnosis immediately, but that it's just a starting point of testing.
