Lost 5.5 pounds since July 3

[debodun]

Probably all the running around, having 2 weekends of moving sales, and the stresses of home buying. I might have lost more if I hadn't eaten that bag of chocolate covered almonds (not all at once, though). This is the lowest weight I've been in decades,

[debodun]

If I can keep it up, I'll have to add another extension to the graph.

 

[Devi]

Excellent, @debodun. And congrats on your new home!

 

[Mr. Ed]

That's really good, congratulations!

Great...5.5 lbs....umpteen more to go. Keep at it...there is nothing more unhealthy, as we age. than excess weight.

 

[debodun]

As it is, I'm still around 60 pounds too heavy for my height.

Well, keep at it. Almost 1/3rd of the nations health problems are rooted in excess weight....especially as we age. Far better to lose some weight than to give most of your life's savings to the doctors and hospitals.

I already gave my life savings to a realty company and a house seller.

Gotta love the internet!

Almost like that. I have to keep pulling up my jeans while walking around. They are elastic waist, too and I've folded and pinned the waist. Not good when You're moving an armful of boxes.

Congratulations Deb on your weight loss, just remember to take good care of yourself, try not to get too stressed.

Congratulations Deb! I know that losing weight often inspires us to continue losing.

 

[debodun]

Another 5 pound loss since August 7th.

It’s no wonder with all the work you’re doing. It’s your new exercise program.

 

[debodun]

Now if I couidl lose 60 more pounds, I'll be where I should be.

That's great deb. I know how hard it is. I can't eat nuts anymore, they tear up my stomach. Wish I could.

I bought some bulk dark chocolate chips at the health food store after a suggestion in my oatmeal thread. They are very good in oatmeal but I ended up finishing them off right out of the bag. They were very good.

Congrats on your weight loss. I, too, need to lose a bunch of pounds, but how?

I have been working on weight loss as well. Remember...focus on the short term goals, and it will be easier to reach the long term.

I was weighed at my recent visit to the doctor, to find out I've lost 10 lbs. since I last saw her (sometime last year). I haven't been dieting, and while I didn't notice the weight loss, knew I hadn't gained (just by how my clothes fit).

One thing that might be a factor - I eat 2 meals a day, not 3. Breakfast is usually cereal and a fruit, then, around 4 p.m. dinner. Maybe a handful of popcorn or an apple/orange after then .. or not. I don't feel hungry at bedtime. In fact, I feel more comfortable than I did when I was eating 3x a day.

 

[drifter]

I know I’m too heavy by the way my clothes fit me, also.

 

[debodun]

Only lost 3 pounds ince September 4th, but at least it's losing.

 

[debodun]

Lost 1.5 pounds in October. Weight loss is slowing, I think because of the cooler weather, I'm eating heartier meals. I probably would have gained if I wasn't so busy with moving activities. My BMI is 31 which means I'm still obese.
