    Round 88 – August 31 to September 9
    Female, 5’, 66 years. Fall always seems more like the beginning of a new year for me than Jan.1. Summer is pretty much finished and time to plan what I’ll be involved in for the winter. So I looked back over the last year to see how my weight ups and downs had gone. It’s pretty obvious: stress = weight gain, increased activity = weight loss, for me. I’m not ready to go back to the gym till October but goal this round will be to add exercises at home + more yard work (want to be finished with that so much that I can almost taste it – but just have to keep plugging). Other goals – finish log each day, only yogurt or fruit in the evening and nothing after 9 p.m. SW – 162.4, GW – 161.4, UGW – 140. (This really should be 125 or 130 but that seems like such a long ways to go and 140 would be a huge improvement.)

    THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
    REMINDERS One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.
    • Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
    • A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
    • Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
    • The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
    • Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
    • The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
    • When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
    • Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.
    Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!
