Hi Everyone. I continued throwing caution to the wind while my family was here. Thus my weight loss efforts were put on hold. I have been having loads of fun. A grandson bought me an echo device and I am continuing to learn what it can do. My son set up an Amazon account so that I can play every music imaginable. I can also get all sorts of information, news, weather, and many other things. And to imagine all of this comes out of a small nine inch cylindrical device on my kitchen counter. You all probably know all about this but it was new to me. You can also have it lock and unlock doors, control temperature, etc. I am not interested in these two features. If it could only prevent me from overindulging in the food I eat. Sigh
Miraculously I lost a pound this week despite my ongoing piggery. I now weigh 121. I am having real difficulty getting back to my usual eating regimen. I will do my best and try to lose half a pound which is conservative.
Agate, so glad to see you back. Being under major stress is definitely a hard way to lose weight. I do hope everything is better and that you can continue losing the weight you want to lose with no further complications. Continuing fighting the good fight.
Mamabug, that is great that you stayed the same. Sometimes after vacationing folks have a hard time getting back into the groove. I still marvel that you did not gain during vacation. Keep up the good work. .
Hsmaldo, sorry to miss you again this week and hope all is well with you. I hope we haven’t lost you.
Msgijo, that is a good loss. You definitely will soon be at your most ideal weight. I am sorry to hear your Dr. isn’t more helpful with your thyroid issue. I hope that has changed. Thank you for your words of encouragement following my large gain. Keep doing what you are doing since it is working.
Poohb3ar, sorry to miss you and hope all is well. Happy Holidays.
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: “Pounding out your meat will help healthier portions go a longer way visually, and it's good stress relief.” It may be worth a try because looking at small amounts can be demoralizing. The stress relief angel may be a benefit at that.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
1.8 Pounds by two members. That means half of the people reporting lost. That is a good average. Now that the Holidays are upon us great vigilance will need to be adopted so as not to fall behind in one’s efforts to stay on track.
Total Gain:
5.5 pounds by one member. And we all know who that one is. This is the largest weekly gain ever. I am ashamed to have set this record. I hope no one follows suit.
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.
4039.21 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.
