As I have said before and I will say again - I was built for survival. There are those poor skinny people who have to really work to keep the weight on and probably won't survive when the famine hits in 2012. But me and mine will. We can survive on less then 1000 calories a day walk 10 miles and not lose weight. How many of you out there can do that? Huh?
After 20 weeks of low calorie dieting I have yet to break the 1/2 way mark - whereas most of my group is done or within 15 pounds of goal. Mind you I am not complaining (well not alot) but I sometimes find it disheartening to be in the group and be the only one that still has such a long ways to go. I don't really feel like I am part of the group anymore. They are on a different agenda and I am still on the weight loss agenda.
All ready we are having some attrition. One person just quit and others are not coming on a regular basis. Of the group of twenty we are averaging about 13 per session, and I have a feeling it is going to get worse as time goes on.
I have watched the other group (the one that is six weeks ahead of us) dwindle down to maybe four of five people, and soon I suspect that there will be none. What if they all quit coming? I think I need that weekly weigh in to keep myself honest. The thirty weeks is up April 26, and then what about the rest of the 82 weeks? That is one more year - and if I am the only one showing up will they still do it? Oh well I guess I will worry about it later.

If the groups get too small, they'll likely COMBINE them
ReplyDeleteNot to worry LOML - you're doing great.
When your ankle heals, you (and I) can get back on an exercise cycle!
Of course you'll still do it, even if you are the only one! Didn't I tell you about taking a tap class in which I was the only student? Think of all the attention you'll get!
