Hi Everyone. I am stunned. Can you believe it is almost August! Where has July gone. We have had a cooler July here than usual which distorted calendar perception to a degree. I hope you all are having success in staying on track with your goals. My enthusiasm to lose a couple of pounds seems to wax and wane of late as shown by going up or down a pound or two. If any of you are having trouble losing as much as you would like it would be a good idea to set mini goals so as not to feel overwhelmed.
Hooray, I finally broke my gaining streak. I lost a whole pound this week which was more than I had contracted for last week. I will try my best to lose two more pounds in total with half a pound this coming week.
Agate, Sorry to miss you this week and hope all is well.
Mamabug, I look forward to hearing from you this coming week. I hope you had a wonderful vacation.
Hsmaldo, so sorry to miss you this week. I hope everything is going well for you.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you again this week. I do hope all is well and that you will let us know soon.
Msgijo, that half a pound gain seems insignificant since you are well within your weight loss goal. Good for you. Thank you for your suggestion of choosing a weight range at which to stay after weight loss. I actually try to stay two pounds maximum over or under my goal weight. I start to panic when I stay two pounds over for too long. Sorry about your headaches which can really disrupt life. I’m glad to hear things are settling down for you. Also sorry to hear you have had such hot weather unlike here where it hasn’t been too bad most of the time. Good for you for your ongoing success in the weight department.
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, “Looking for the benefits of salmon but you don't feel comfortable cooking fish? Try canned salmon as a simple and affordable alternative.”
Salmon is a great fish choice because of the high level of Omega 3. It is best to buy wild or wild caught to reduce the amount of pollutants. Both wild or wild caught can be found as fresh or canned salmon. Farmed salmon is not a good choice because of the high degree of mercury.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
0 pounds. I hope our absent members are on a losing streak. Hope to hear this coming week.
Total Gain:
1 pound by two members. Our gain acts as a warning to others especially to those who may have gained this last week. Let’s hope we are all in the Loss column this next week. In the meantime our gains have acted as a warning sign to others as well as to ourselves.
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.
4006.91 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.

. I ran across a 'plan' that is supposed to take weight off and posted it (carb cycling) It reminded me of the plan you once followed with hungry days, enough days and splurge days. Still involves some carb counting, but it seems do-able.
