Hi Everyone. Over time I have tried to think of little ways to keep from gaining weight and also losing weight. One way that I focused on not so long ago is to not grab something to eat between meals because of what it does to my teeth. A few months ago I had to have a crown put on one of my teeth which was unpleasant and very expensive. It made me more conscious of not snacking after my teeth are brushed. I occasionally feel the urge to eat something between meals and almost succumb but shift my thinking about what it can do to my teeth. Does anyone else have a motivator to share? I would love to hear of some.
Boo hoo. I regained the pound and a half that I lost last week. I honestly did not think I had done that bad. I once again weigh 115 which is my goal weight. I still want to get down to 113 as a cushion. I will try to lose a half pound this week.
Agate, good for you for continuing not to gain once again. Thank you for your kind words. I wish I could hold the course but as you can see I gained again. I just don’t have your consistency. I wish you could package and sell it! Keep it up.
Mamabug, good for you for reversing the process and again showing a loss. I know it can be difficult after coming back from vacation. I’m pulling for you to continue working toward your goal.
Hsmaldo, so sorry to miss you again 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, good for you for going back down. I am sure that yard work with good night’s sleep was helpful. Good luck with holding the course.
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 is indeed good advice. I find Mamabugs exercise post most helpful to keep me motivated. I strongly recommend it.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
3.2 pounds by three members. Way to go. That means a significant number of us lost this week. It once again proves that it can be done. May we continue on the bright path.
Total Gain:
0 pounds reported. May we all stay out of this column because we did not gain rather than because we just did not report. Reporting gains is proof of taking weight loss seriously and is a warning to others.
Stayed The Same:
1 member. 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.
4010.31 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.

It's very frustrating!
