Well, you've persevered and done a great job, and I can do the
same.

Do you think the sig line is tedious? I am tired of seeing it
myself, but I put it on when someone on another group opined that
it would be nice to know where people were located. Maybe I'll
drop the location bit for a while.

It could also depend on where you are in your cycle.

Could it also depend on where you are in your treadmill or in your step
machine?

Not at all! I was just being a smart-*ss! Actually, it *is* nice to see
where people are from. Myself, I was born and raised in Taxachusetts - er,
Massachusetts also -- in the Berkshires. I moved South in 1976 when I was
25 years old and have been here ever since. I live in North Carolina now
and work in Virginia. Don't miss those New England winters one stinkin'
little bit!

I did realize that. It just happened to coincide with my being
tired of seeing my own signature line!!!!

In the last two days I've suddenly put on three or four pounds for no
discernible reason. My food intake has been absolutely as normal.....
the
only things that are different are, a) I'm up to an hour on the treadmill
now, 50 mins of which is at 85% max heart rate, or b) I've been working
way
too hard and getting nowhere near enough sleep.

Could either of these things have an impact, do you think?



Both could - when I first started the hard-core exercise at the health
club, I put on a few pounds immediately - I suspect because I wasn't
eating enough, but also because I was retaining water for awhile, no
clue why.

Bang, it went away.

Oh, I am so waiting for the "Bang, it went away" part! I did my Sunday
weigh in yesterday, and was up 3 pounds. It was especially annoying
because I have been keeping the Carbdemons at bay all week. I also
took 3 killer 60 minutes walks mostly uphill. I was truly expecting a
happy whoosh, not a visit from the EVIL whooshing fairy. I was so
bummed I did not even read or post. (Sigh) But today, (thank God for
fresh days!) I have renewed faith and will not use my disappointment
as an excuse to indulge. However, I must confess to one cookie and
half of a hotdog bun yesterday. Oddly enough, the bun was not the
momentos reunioin I anticipated, and I was dizzy and sweating from one
cookie. So I threw away the rest of the bun, and disposed of the
offending remaining cookies. Now I await the good fairy... Jeano

I have found that, in addition to being slow, my weight loss is
totally unpredictable. When I think I have lost weight, that I
have been very good, I haven't. When I cut a few more corners, I
may find myself lighter. May. I do need to start only recording
a weekly low or something.

I find it really difficult to not be controlled by the numbers of the
day. Intellectually, I totally know better than to place any merit on
the daily numbers,but I get such a thrill seeing the weight go down. I
can handle maintaining as well. But it seems that as soon as I see a
gain, it shades my mood. I know the thing to do would be not to weigh
every day. I try to focus on the journey and not just the destination.
And if I am really whacked by it I will not weigh for a few days. Ah,
the virtues of patience... Jeano
