Hi everyone. Time marches on. Only one more week left in January. It hardly seems possible. We will be thinking Spring before we know it. Think of how great you will look in new Spring attire. And think of how much better you will feel. I am also talking to myself given that I have had quite a weight gain in the past several months. I have not weighed this much since my weight loss on this forum. Now is the time to get serious.
I gained a pound this week and am totally disgusted with myself. I weigh 126.5. I am going to do my best this week to lose a whole pound.
Agate, fantastic! Hitting 115 is awesome. I know you can reach your ultimate goal. Just keep doing what you have been doing.
Mamabug, good for you for being in your maintenance goal. I hear you when you report wanting to lose a bit more. I know you can do it. Give it the old college try.
Hsmaldo, good for you for losing whatever the reason. It sounds like your modifications are paying off. Thank you for your kind words and good advice. If I follow them I can’t go wrong. May you continue losing.
Msgijo, sorry you are distressed about your goal weight. I hope your new plan works better for you. It is certainly worth a try. Thank you so much for your words of wisdom. I am taking them seriously. Keep up the good work.
Daisycat, congratulations on reaching your goal weight. Losing more might not be wise. What do you mean by a flap on your stomach? Is it something that can be exercised away?. I would hate to see you lose too much weight. Rejoice in reaching your goal.
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.

With the massive meals served at so many American restaurants, it's easy to go Dutch -- with the dinner plate.
"When we go out, I often share a meal with my wife," Anthony tells WebMD. "We've been known to split a dessert, even a pint of beer. That way, we don't feel stuffed, and we save some money."

1member. 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.
4187.1 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.
