Kelijpa, Sum38, Jacqui I have been looking at the quantity and quality of exercise of each of you. Yall are winners no matter how much ya weigh

Rhiko, boatingmommy, Southernbell 02 If you draw a straight line across the page, then draw a zig zag line centering on that line .......... Title the upper tips of the zigs as "gained weight" and the tips of the bottom zags as lower weight......... Then tilt the page where it slants down. The solid line will indicate your average path on your weight loss trip with the zig zags showing the typical path for your journey. Quit worrying about the scales showing a 3 lb gain in a day with it's 2 lb down the next sort of thing. Look at your weekly or monthly loss and keep on doing what ya need to do and don't worry about it
It will all work out in the end.

boating mommy: Big FR - Your diet sounds very interesting...spicy. Where are you at that you are still picking tomatoes?"
So Cal US between Riverside and Palm Springs. We have had a real mild start of winter so far, two very light frosts before last week. I have started covering my tomatoes and chilis each night now, and had a frost last night and another one coming tonight. Trying to overwinter them, I cannot stand store bought tomatoes, like eating sawdust, tastless. Once in a while some of them that come up from Mexico are fair though. Roma is the best of what we have but still very lacking in good taste.
Jacqui: BFR, "meals at your house sound delicious! "
LOL they are if ya like it spicy, come on over
Pnkrckixkat: Good luck with that Atkins diet stuff. I read what Mayo Clinic has to say on that subject. They do not knock atkins and their diet plan has a few of the Atkins features. But they do caution to watchout for overdoing it.
However, many people use fad diets with the object of eating the portions of it which interest them, what they don't want to give up or want to eat. A friend of mine jumped into it thinking she was going to lose a lot of weight. She loves fat, and Atkins was just her ticket. And she gained like crazy til she gave it up. Another friend of mine said a friend of his told him he could eat all the pasta he wanted, it would not make him gain. He blew up like a blimb before he wized up.
Leeh " I am going to try and be reasonable without depriving myself because I really need to learn how to live with sensible portions. I have all the tools to do what needs to be done but I always look for quick fixes that I can't live with. This time I am doing everything in moderation."
I sure agree with that Leeah
After one does lose the weight, they have to go on eating right to stay down. Learning to eat sensible portions of healthy foood is what seems to be best. At my currant weight I can eat a lot more and still lose weight. I am SOOO aware of having to keep cutting back on calories and keep on with exercise in order to keep losing. When I was young, I could eat like a hog and still could not gain any weight. Now it seems like I pick up 10 lbs walking under an ice cream sign.
All yall are doing fantastic
keep it up
Today is my weigh in
Starting weight was
237.1
Weight as of yesterday and day before
232.4 Today was 234, I am using the 232 weight.
So I am claiming 5 lbs down of that 12 lb goal. 7 left
B F R
I have no doubt you'll make your 2nd goal this month too!
The extra water weight from it will fall off quickly! 
:
I'm so glad you had a good week and good results! Keep it going!
Way to go!!
