Congratulations!

My weight seems to have been static since around October. My own fault, of course!

The heck with the lost weight... The great blood pressure and cholesterol reading are spectacular! Losing 15 pounds is nothing to sneeze at either, but it's the 110/65 and lower cholesterol that will keep you alive longer! Keep it up.

I'm afraid to get on the scale. We ate at two different all-you-can-eat buffets this week... and I did. But we've also walked about 25k this week too, so it might not be too bad.

Great work. I have not lost anything in a few weeks. I have been eating poorly and not as good about getting to the gym so not losing but not gaining is just fine.

covingtoncat73 · 02-18-2013, 08:12 PM

I am on Weight Watchers. Again. I can't believe I went off the wagon that badly again. I gained back 30 of the 60 lbs I lost and I'm a short woman, so that is a lot.

The good news is that, after 4 weeks, 9 of them are already gone.

I think that the really difficult bit is maintenance at your desired weight. It's for maintenance that one really needs to change ones normal eating habits.

I haven't managed to get down to my desired weight yet, so I still have the problem of weight maintenance to look forward to! Joy.

ProfCrash · 02-19-2013, 05:53 AM

Maintenance is not tough if you track what you eat. At least it is not for me.

9 pounds in 4 weeks is fantastic! Congratulations!

So I am down to 163 pounds (I started this latest round of weight loss at 180. Five years ago, I was at 205. I am not counting my pregnancy weight). More importantly I am in a size 6 pant and my Mom is counseling me to not lose too much weight.

Well done Prof!

pdurrant · 03-25-2013, 09:05 AM

Congratulations, Prof. I'm still hovering at the 73kg mark. I know why, too, so I have no-one to blame but myself.

Stitchawl · 03-25-2013, 09:17 AM

Well done, all of you! I've laid back for the cold months, but my wife and I were just talking about this yesterday, and figure now that the better weather is coming around, it's time for us to start hard walking and hill climbing again. I put back 3-4 kilo, but still am under 85. I've decided that I will set a target for myself of 75 kilo before we move to Thailand. That's doable...

I passed the 10 lb mark at my last weigh-in. Not bad for 8 weeks. 20 more lbs to go to get back to my "Lifetime" weight.

I have GOT to stop the yo-yo thing.

Food journals. They force you to be honest with yourself.

I agree. I used a blank book but switched to an app (FitBit) last year which was a bit easier. I switched again to MyFitnessPal two weeks ago and find their database to be extensive and very easy to use although there's still the annoying puzzle of "What the heck am I really eating right now and how much is there?" I'm making great progess lately having lost 24 pounds since Christmas and now less than 10 pounds away from nirvana.

24 pounds since Christmas - excellent progress, well done vivaldirules!
