Hi Everyone. I am very excited about welcoming our new members. What a great way to start the New Year. I am sure new members will help us old timers to keep on our toes. It is also great to see Poohb3ar back with us. May we all proceed to better health and beauty. My gyne doctor had trouble getting blood from my arm vein and said it was because I was so thin! I didn’t tell her that I had gained a few pounds and was struggling to lose it. No one ever called me thin before. I still feel like I look plump. I must work toward changing my perception.
I am sad to say that I gained another pound and I now weigh 119. My motivation has waned somewhat and I will work to get it back.
Agate, sorry to miss you this week. I do hope you are well. Please let us know.
Mamabug, it is good to see you back. I was truly concerned. I’m looking forward to seeing you post your latest results.
Hsmaldo, so sorry we didn’t see you this week. I hope you aren’t having difficulty finding us at our new site. Be well.
Malaholic, how great that you were able to drop in. I am glad you found us at our new site. It sounds like you are having a fun vacation and am looking forward to seeing your next post.
hlburke87, I am so glad you found us. Don’t be ashamed at posting your weight. We have all been there and I know that you will feel elated to see your weight go down. Good luck.
Poohb3ar, It is so good to have you back. That is wonderful that you lost some weight. I hope you will tell us how much this week so that we can rejoice with you.
Portia, we are very happy to lend our support. This group has been what has kept me from putting all that weight back on after losing it with the help of the group. You have an advantage because you have lost quite a bit of weight in the past which proves you can do it. Best wishes.
Ailsinngrace, welcome. You have a good track record of losing and I have every confidence that you can do so again. The goal of getting down for your friend’s wedding is a good incentive. Think of how great you will look at your new weight at that occasion. We are all here to lend our support. Keep up the momentum.
Barrister16, by all means join us. You said you don’t have a scale so I would suggest that you weigh whenever you have the opportunity. There are advantages to weighing every week because it is a way of setting mini goals so the total amount you want to lose doesn’t seem overwhelming. The other way to track weight loss is via the tape measure. Of course you also know something is happening if clothes get tighter or looser. Let us know what is happening. Best of luck.
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 eleven 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 suggests, “for a thicker, creamier texture, choose low-fat, unsweetened Greek yogurt. Loaded with protein, calcium and natural probiotics, it makes for a tasty snack any time.” No fat Greek yogurt is also thick and creamy and may be a better choice for snacking or for meals which is my suggestion. It is delicious with oatmeal and blueberries for breakfast, is very filling and keeps hunger at bay.

3637.4 is the total weight loss for the past 12 years. Now we have hit a new milestone. We have now lost over 1.75 tons in total. That means we only need to lose another approximately 400 pounds to reach two tons. That is awesome.
