Hi everyone. I hope everyone one of you had the happiest New Year ever. I am rushing because time is passing faster than I am. I have had a very rough day.
I am happy to report that I weighed 126 this a.m. so lost 7.5 pounds. However, don’t congratulate me too much. I am taking fluid pills so I am sure at least two pounds of it is due to fluid loss. My ankles are still a little swollen.
Agate, congratulations on your little loss. Every little bit counts in the big scheme of things. Keep up the good work.
Mamabug, that little gain is not surprising over the Holiday. I am sure you will be back on track now that we are into the New Year. Keep up your enthusiasm.
Hsmaldo, sorry to hear you gained but am impressed with your plans to alter your lifestyle. If you can keep behavioral changes up I am sure you will see a loss soon. Good luck with your plans.
Msgijo, that is quite a loss when you are not even trying to lose. I hope you stabilize soon.
Daisycat, Very good loss. You will be at your goal weight soon.
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.

26 Weight Loss Tips That Are Actually Evidence-Based
Written by Kris Gunnars, BSc on August 22, 2018
The weight loss industry is full of myths. People are often advised to do all sorts of crazy things, most of which have no evidence behind them. However, over the years, scientists have found a number of strategies that seem to be effective.
Here is one that is evidence-based.
Try Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting is a popular eating pattern in which people cycle between periods of fasting and eating.
Short-term studies suggest intermittent fasting is as effective for weight loss as continuous calorie restriction (13).
Additionally, it may reduce the loss of muscle mass typically associated with low-calorie diets. However, higher-quality studies are needed before any stronger claims can be made (14).
