This time last year, I was at the height of my weight LOL.

I am down 25 pounds since then!  

Good for you, Paul!  You've lost a whole Thanksgiving turkey!  ;D  8)  ;D

Scene from "Cheers":

*Norm enters bar*

Coach:  "What're you up to, Norm?"

Norm:  "My ideal weight, if I was eleven feet tall."

Congrats, guys.

This time last year, I was at the height of my weight LOL.

I am down 25 pounds since then!  

It all started last holiday season, when I inadvertently lost 5 pounds.  I believe it was from "over-compensating", meaning I tended to undereat at big feasts, stay away from the buffet table, drink less.  It helps that I don't have much of a sweet tooth.  

Talking about that initial 5 pound loss with Sonja led to our starting this thread.  

Many of us have lost, and while it's easy to gain some back, we're still trying!

Keep it up!

My new goal is to lose another 10 before next summer's Alberta trip.  Moose Mountain, here I come!

That's truly awesome, Paulie!  I'm very proud of you!

LOL@ the Thanksgiving turkey!!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!  8)

I've lost around 5 pounds and feel better.  Yoga has helped reduce the pain in my back and knees, too.   Tomorrow I'm not counting points, but I won't stuff myself.  Friday it's back to the program.  :)

Congrats Meryl!!

Well done!  :D

Congrats Paul, way to gol!!!   :)


My weight has been roller coasting this year, and I'm more or less where I was one year ago...    >:(

I have come to the conclusion that I'm probably not able to seriously lose any weight on my own.
I've been very successful with WW before (-37 kg), so I think I'll try their online program. Will look into it one of these days.

Great work Dr. P!   :)
When you put people in charge of the government who are committed to proving that it doesn't work, you can be sure that they will cause it to not work.

???

what happened Wayne?
Well, I did lose some weight, but I think the reason I said "watch out in general" was that my furnace* had just blown up**!  :o

* the one under the house, not my metabolic furnace. It actually worked out fine though, because I'm getting a 30% tax credit - $1000 - and it wasn't quite as expensive as I feared. FYI, the tax credit is available only for the rest of this calendar year, so if anybody's considering replacing a furnace, now's a great time.

** poured smoke in the house and stopped working; nothing serious but I guess I'm lucky it didn't burn the house down. When we checked the equipment it turned out it was made in 1979 - older'n some a y'all  ;D
