Started a diet four weeks ago, and all I’ve lost is one month…..

What bothers me is that I understand Loon’s question!

Simple solutions from simple minds .

I did try that once, they kept coming back

Roz can’t believe that another idea has passed over Loon’s head by 2 feet and 50 mph ! ! ! !

Maybe she doesn’t really need to lose those last three pounds.

Maybe where she is at is good enough.

The weight was not put on in a day so it will not be lost in a … oh, say a decade.

I’m struggling to lose weight myself. Lost 6 pounds last week but put like 4 back on over the weekend. Now I’m down a net of 4. I absolutely need to be down 2 more but it would be better if I could lose 11 more in the next 3 weeks. That would give my body time to adjust to the lower weight by the end of March. I can probably drop 4-5 this week, but being diligent over the weekend and next week will be difficult.I’ve never really concerned myself with weight in the past, but now I’m doing a weight based competition and would prefer to be in a lower weight class. It’s challenging at 60 to drop 10 pounds.

I’ve lost the first 3 but the rest is hanging on!

Loon’s logic is impressive.

If only.

Loony logic. Lots of that around now.

there’s probly someone just like that out there… (not in my world, thank goodness! lol!)

In one of the books I’ve read, a male character complains that he’s been on the diet a week, and has only lost three pounds. It occurred to me that that is a basic difference between men and women, because a woman would have called up all her friends and said, “Guess what! I’ve only been on this diet a week and I’ve already lost three pounds!”

Life is short – eat dessert first.

I’ve found losing pounds is easy, pound sterling that is – kilograms are much harder to lose.

No. It’s keeping those last few pounds from sneaking back on…..
