I'm back to traveling, eating in restaurants and not getting much exercise so I haven't lost anything in the last two weeks. The good news is I had my
blood checked at a health fair at work last week and I've gotten my cholesterol under control. Total down from 199 to 167, HDL (good cholesterol) 45 now up
to 50 and LDL (bad) 137 now down to 99; and Triglycerides 99 up from 81 (this one is going in the wrong direction).

Greetings!
how about sharing some of your secrets with the rest of us Losers?Weigh Watchers - I go & weigh in weekly = forced accountability. No secrets.... it is all about portion control & choosing the right foods. More fruit & yogurt instead of sweets & ice cream (my weaknesses!) Less meat, more fish & veggies. Less convenience/ restaurant food, more fresh home cooking. Eat breakfast & try to not let yourself get too hungry. I'm highly motivated by my impending knee surgery. Less bulk will make dealing with the crutches and the recovery easier. And then I can start exercising and lose an additional 100lbs....
Cheers!

Wow, Jay, you look terrific! Great progress and very motivating. Ron, you will be sorely missed at Naz; you were one of the main reasons I'm coming back
this year. Laura, you are a star.

I knew there was some kinda trick to getting that poundage total! I'm gonna see if I can balance with one leg, and still play guitar. But really Jay, awesome progess, you look great! DTMP

Down one pound this week. Nice to not have to report in decimals finally (silly .2 accuracy Weight Watchers scale!).

Down 2 lbs this week. I am about at my original goal
of 40 lbs., but I have to lose another 35 now. I think this next challenge will be harder, but if I complete it, I will weigh 175lbs - haven't been there since 2002. Insurance tables say I should weigh around 160, but that's not going to happen; I was skinny most of my life and don't want to be that thin again. Ron

I weighed in at 201.4 can not get below 200 still! But it puts me down 2.6 pounds for the week. I got a little more focused with the diet and will stay that
way. Well i hope i stay focused.

Good morning fellow losers. I had a good week, -3 lbs. I guess I didn't eat much because I know I didn't exercise much.

Well, somehow I managed to not gain since my last check-in - two weeks back? This despite a lot of travel and a week-end with my fishing buddies on Cape Cod.
Lots of good eating but lots of good exercise too - paddling and digging clams.
Back to the gym tommorow and hopefully "off the plateau" this week.

Bad to worse, my scale sez I lose 5 lbs one day and gain 5 the next! I think it needs new batteries but can't find the battery box.
I think I am the same, so that's what I'll report.
