Is it possible that I've already said everything there is to say about losing weight?
And not losing weight?
I don't know, but I will continue to post here, hopefully more regularly than I've been doing.
Here's how things are at the moment.
I am not being as strict as I was when I first started losing weight back in 2006. Maybe it's just not realistic to cut out every speck of sugar and white flour and white potatoes and white rice. I don't know but I can't seem to be perfect, a problem which has plagued me my whole imperfect life.
I have, however, been going to the YMCA regularly since the beginning of the year and I have to say that I feel so much better physically. My wonky tendon has even stopped its continual aching. I have enjoyed the various cardio machines and two or three times a week, I do weight machines.
My weight loss is holding steady at 7 pounds, which sadly enough, almost brings me to my initial starting weight when I began this blog in April 2006.
Anyway, I'll be around. Hope you will be, too.
Except for you spammers. You can go away.
Seven pounds is awesome. This whole food thing never ceases to amaze me. I just discovered that I am the most hungry from 2-6pm and that I would be perfectly happy to eat a day's worth of food in the just those few short hours. I only say that to say that I can view that as a physiological/body clock thing, rather than my old way - as a personal failure. Long way around saying that acceptance of the ways things are (not perfect) may make it easier to make progress - at least it's been true in my experience.
You will find you way. People, situations change and what used to work just might not work anymore, so just let that go and look for something else.

Go Mel go! I'm glad you're working out at the gym and haven't given up. And I'm also glad you found a minute to write and tell us how you're doing. :)

Well, you can still share many things. It's not possible that you already said anything as new ideas and lessons learned will continue to pop up everyday on your journey to weight loss and healthy life :)

Seven pounds lost is not bad. It's right of you not to strain too much and keep on cutting out on what you eat. Try healthier food choices, like brown instead of white - brown rice, brown sugar,whole wheat flour.
