Hi Everyone. A big storm is rolling in as I type. I will likely lose power to continue this report so will rush through as fast as I can. Best wishes to everyone.
I lost half a pound this week so weigh115.5. My ankles and legs continue to be quite swollen so I know that is some of my weight. I am going to try to get back down to 115. I will try to lose a half pound this week.
Agate, sorry to miss you this week, I hope all is well.
Mamabug, sorry about your teeny gain but I know you can reverse the process. Hang tough.
Hsmaldo, good for you for your small loss. Every bit counts. I hope you have a good time on Saturday. Keep up the good work,
Msgijo, sorry about your gain but knowing you, you will promptly reverse the process. I hope you have gotten rid of that junk food. To answer your question there does not seem to be an effective medication for my problem without similar side effects. I will do what I can to not aggravate the problem by indulging in sodium rich food. Best wishes.
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 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:
Researchers from Cornell University found that study participants who weighed themselves daily and charted their results lost significantly more weight than those who did not. They were also able to keep the weight off.
“Obesity is a chronic, lifelong condition and must be addressed as such through lifelong changes,” says Dr. Shane Fogo, an Advocate Medical Group family medicine physician at Advocate Eureka Hospital in Eureka, Ill. “Keeping track of your weight daily not only helps to confirm if your weight loss plan is working, but helps you monitor potential weight gain once you have reached your weight loss goal.”
Daily self-weighing and tracking “forces you to be aware of the connection between your eating and your weight,” lead study author David Levitsky said in a news release. “It used to be taught that you shouldn’t weigh yourself daily, and this is just the reverse.”
The researchers found that self-weighing and tracking are simple ways to reinforce and strengthen positive behaviors such as eating less and maintaining regular exercise.
“You just need a bathroom scale and an Excel spreadsheet, or even a piece of graph paper,” said Levitsky.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
.2 pound by one member. Every little bit counts. Every loss big or small shows that one is on the right track.
Total Gain:
3.2 pounds by two members. Once more congratulations for admitting the truth. It is only by facing up to facts can behavior change.
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.
4088.0 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.
