Mahalo nui loa mds725! I didn't feel like I was doing to well until I weighed in Sunday. As Tudorp said earlier I've really noticed that salt intake seems to make a big difference, the week I hurt my knee I also had a lot more salt than usuall and my weight really reflected it! Now if I could only cut back on (or out!) the diet sodas, I could get to my goal quicker. Everyone hang in there, and keep posting your comments are encouraging for all of us.
According to this article, two additional things you can do to lose weight are reduce stress and sleep more.

Now I'm stressed about not getting enough sleep.
Good luck everyone!

bad week? I haven't even remembered to submit numbers. I stepped on the scale and I have maintained the same weight for the last few weeks. OK. For reals this time. I got to do it.
me too. I lost a couple, but was up a couple last week so Im even and apparently entering into yet another platuqe. But no worries I have been on several over the past year, and the only way to beat them is to stay the course and persistence. No discurragment anyone, just stay on it, and it and your body will catch up with your routine.

Hahaha! That has been me lately!
But good news... closing the ice cream shop! It has been training us mentally, physically, emotionally, and monetarily for 2.5 years. BUT... it led me to sell ukes and I think I have found my way and my talent there. AND...
then... I can excersize and not have that "stress increses belly fat" thing. Hahaha! Do you know the Cortizol commercial that says, "Stress increases Belly Fat!" I SWEAR IT IS TRUE! Hahaha! Well... that and NOT excercising!
BUT... honestly next week if I gain 2 lbs, I gain 2 lbs. Still hope not to, BUT... this is the last week to eat my snowballs, so I am going to allow myself one here or there. But truth be told I am a bit over it, so I have not been partaking much.
So... apologies for being late on the numbers, but they are there now. Time for me to look for my weekly weight loss pics!!!

Thank you.
Since July 11th I have been on a diet of less than 1,000 calories per day. I have lost 43 lbs. and am very close to my goal. Besides being more comfortable, it is easier to hold the ukulele!
Thanks to all of you for inspiration and motivation to continue.

Hey Atlanta UUBLers! This Northern Virginia/DC UUBLer will be in Atlanta next week and the week after (10/31-11/5). Are there any concerts/jams/workshops/stores I shouldn't miss? I'll be in Dunwoody/Norcross, but won't have a car, so will have to rely on taxis/public transportation/the kindness of strangers to get around. I suppose if we get together we'll all have to have, like, diet sodas and salads or something UUBL-friendly. Or, we could have beers, and just not tell anyone, though our weigh-ins won't lie for us
PM or email me - dockellogg@gmail.com
To be honest, a beer would probably be better and healthier than a diet soda anyway.. Just sayin..
If your gonna be at a function, just schedule a beer or two into your diet for that day, but cutting a few calories here and there in anticipation to having a beer or two. That's what I do for a beer every now and then..
