Hi everyone. I got up this morning thinking it was a day earlier. It is a good thing I learned otherwise or this post would be quite late. It is a miracle I weighed which I did on a whim even though I thought it was the day before I weigh in. Easter will be here before we know it. Let’s keep up momentum in losing those ugly pounds or maintaining for those who are at their ideal weight or almost there.
I can scarcely believe it. I lost three pounds and weigh 126.5. I know some of my loss is a loss in fluid, but I’ll take what I can get. I’ll try for another pound this week.
Agate, congratulations on your loss. To have lost two pounds following a very long time staying the same is awesome. Rejoice.
Mamabug, so sorry to miss you this week and hope all is well.
Hsmaldo, sorry to miss you too. I hope you have not had a relapse of your illness.
Msgijo, sorry you had a gain but glad you remain at a good weight. It is virtually impossible to stay at one weight. Some fluctuation is normal. Agate, who stays the same week after week is the exception rather than the rule. Keep up your positive attitude.
Daisycat, I am so sorry to hear of the anniversary of the loss of your friend. That is no doubt a difficult time for you. Congratulations on your one pound loss. I must say though you are at a very low weight. Does your doctor approve? I would hate to see you get too low.
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:
Lose It Today, Keep It Off Tomorrow
Be patient. While cultivating that virtue isn't exactly painless, it may help to know that keeping weight off generally gets easier over time.
That's the result of a study published in Obesity Research, where researchers found that for people who had lost at least 30 pounds -- and kept it off for at least two years -- maintaining that weight loss required less effort as time went on.
This is a good thing to know as one approaches one’s goal or is already there.
Weight Loss Results:
Total Loss:
2 pounds by one member. Congratulations to the one who is the champion of staying the same. It is proof that it can be done.
Total Gain:
3.3 pounds by two members. Everybody falls occasionally. We must not fall into despair. Remember tomorrow is truly another day.
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.
4197.3 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.
