Hi Everyone. I am home again but only for a few days when I move to my youngest son’s residence in Idaho. I have mixed feelings about it. I hope settling down will help me to get a grip on my eating behavior. I have been making poor choices and eating too much. I must get a grip. I am a prime example of how major life changes can upset the applecart.
I forgot to weigh this morning so will weigh tomorrow morning.
Agate, good for you. You are once again in the teens. Thank you for your well wishes. I am feeling quite lost. Keep up the good work.
Mamabug, once again, thank you so much for starting things in my absence. Good for you for your loss. Remember every little bit counts.. Best wishes.
Hsmaldo, sorry about your gain but I’m glad it was small. I am pulling for you to see a loss this week. Thank you for the excellent points you made regarding my time of transition. I really appreciate your perspective. I’m sure your daughter had a happy birthday. Keep fighting the good fight..
Msgijo, sorry to miss you this week and hope you are well.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you and hope all is well. I hope the season is treating you well.
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 16 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:
According to Jillian Michaels:
Swear off fad diets
You know the kind, says Jillian: "Everyone's like: 'Give up carbs!' 'Give up fat!' 'Wait, no, now I'm taking pills!' None of them are manageable long-term—and they wreak havoc with your metabolism! Because you're either starving yourself or you're cutting out a major food group. Then you go back into weight-gain mode, but it's even worse, because your body has adjusted to all that crazy fad crap."
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
1.2 pounds by two members. Good going. It does us all good to read of the success of others. Thanks for being good role models.
Total Gain:
.4 pounds by one member. Do not despair over such a small gain. It is good for us to be reminded that it does happen to the best of us.
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. I believe this is the most Stayed the Same at one time.
4111.0 is the total weight loss for the past 16+ years. We hit a new milestone. We now have lost over two tons for which we should be proud. That truly is phenomenal.
