So sorry I forget to post yesterday even though it was ready.
Hi Everyone. Time marches on, the good with the bad. Let us see if we can make the current time a good one. I am feeling rather desperate this week. As you will see below I gained 4 pounds! I am frantic. There is no excuse for this especially since I had been doing so well. It is a good example to all of us how quickly things can change. The Holidays are just around the corner when we are especially challenged. I trust no one else has had such an upturn.
I hang my head in shame. I gained 4 whole pounds so weigh 122. I thought I had gained but not that much. I am vowing to put on the brakes and to reverse the process. I will try my best to lose an entire pound this week.
Agate, good for you for staying the same. I envy you after my surge. It sounds like you are about to lose a pound and I wish you well. I hope the scale goes down for good.
Mamabug, good for you for staying the same after your steady loss. Staying the same is certainly better than gaining. Look at it as the time before the next loss. You can do it.
Hsmaldo, so sorry to miss you again this past week. I hope all is well.
Msgijo, good for you for the loss. Whatever you are doing is working. Even though you were within your ideal range an extra pound or two off is a good cushion. Keep doing what you are doing.
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 16 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:
According to Wendy C. Fries:
Forget diet denial: Try adding foods to your diet instead of subtracting them.
Add in healthy goodies you really love, like deep-red cherries, juicy grapes, or crunchy snow peas. Slip those favorite fruits into your bag lunch and breakfast cereal; add the veggies into soups, stews, and sauces.
"Adding in really works, taking away never does," says registered dietitian David Grotto, RD, LDN, author of 101 Optimal Life Foods, but do remember to keep an eye on overall calories. And don't forget to add in something physical, too, whether it's doing a few dance moves before dinner, shooting hoops, or taking a quick stroll.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
.6 pound by one member. It is good someone came through to save the day. May there be more members in this column next week.
Total Gain:
4 pounds by one member. This is a resounding message about what not to do.

2 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.
4148.2 is the total weight loss for the past 16+ years. We hit a new milestone. We now have lost over two tons for which we should be proud. That truly is phenomenal.

. It was richer than the ones I have made in the past and was oh so good. But alas I had to bring some home

! I know that I get too distracted by food to be as consistent as you are and I am easily bored. I will see or think about a dish and decide that I want it and proceed to eat it without considering the calories involved (think dirt cake). Then I 'diet' to lose the added pounds and so I yo-yo. I applaud your determination
