Only 8ozs this week
Well, that's better than nothing, and if I had gained it I would be feeling dreadful. After all 8ozs is a pack of butter, better off than on my hips. The dietician told me to remember over Christmas, that I am only human and not to set unrealistic goals... Go to parties, have a drink , have something to eat but don't pig out. I must remember my mantra 'All things in moderation and moderation in all things'
My knees and ankles are getting less painful, soon I'll be back to the long walks I used to enjoy. In January I shall be only weighed once a month and I have been warned that there will be some months when the loss will be very little. I can hack that. I'm not in a race and I just focus on next Christmas when I will be half the size I am now. I have 2 dozen mince pies in the oven I'm not saying I won't have one when the family do, but I shall just have 1/2 one and keep the other half for later |
Absolutely 8 ozs counts and matters. That's 8 ozs less of you. You're headed in the right direction. Yay!!!!

For anyone that can do moderation and successfully lose weight, especially in the beginning - more power to ya! Happy holidays and I look forward to hearing of your continued success! |
i like how you put it into perspective. A stick of butter.
I have this file cabinet thing that weighs about 20 lbs. It makes me grunt to pick it up with one hand....and to think...I had THAT on my body a year ago. When I stand with it on the scale it puts me back up to the 190s! It really is amazing. |
I'm with you - 8 oz lost is much better than 8 oz gained!
I'm really impressed with your dietician - setting realistic goals and expectations for you so as to not get discouraged. I only met with a dietician once and she was very rigid and somewhat judgmental - I didn't do well with that at all! I'm glad to hear that your knees and ankles are continuing to improve - you're certainly on the right track to success. Keep up the good work and your eyes on the prize - a smaller you by next Christmas - best wishes to you, your husband and daughter (and the labrador, too) for a lovely holiday! :candy::xcheer::candy: |
Thanks a lot.
JEN: When I lost 56lbs on the Cambridge ( put it all back on again!) my hubby bought a 56lb bag of potatoes and got me to lift it. That made me realize how much pressure I wa putting on my body LEEWAY: I'm so lucky with the support I'm getting. After years of fad diets, what I did to my metabolism was mind blowing. My doctor and the dietician keep drumming it into me that diets don't work for me and to go about it as a life change regime and its working too |
