Setting mini goals
Hello everyone - I have a little dilemma.. I am working on setting some mini goals when I meet some benchmark weights, but I am quitting my job soon to go back to school full time. I typically would set goals for "spend $$ on this after 10lbs lost, etc" but that won't be an option for awhile. Does anyone have any good…

Lug it around, Just a thought.
So there you are. 10 lbs lost, 20 lbs lost, 40 lbs lost, etc. and you are feeling proud on the one hand but also wondering if maybe enough is enough. Starting to slide back into old habits, "now that you can afford it". After all how much difference can a day/week without exercise really do or that helping of fries and…

Discouraged
I am doing everything right. Walking, no pop, watching my diet meticulously, low sodium, carbs, sugar and fat. High protein. And I'm stuck at the same weight I was a week ago. I've been stuck before this and pulled through, it's like my body is reluctant. I need patience, but I am still very discouraged.

Losing focus....
I think I need some encouragement getting back on track! My husband leave for his deployment in about 2 1/2 weeks and I've kind of lost focus. We bought an elliptical with some of our tax refund a couple months ago but I haven't used it in weeks. I'm not necessarily eating the WRONG things, I'm just eating too much. Maybe…

NSV
I know this may sound silly but I got a tattoo yesterday and for me it was a huge NSV. I have been toying with the idea for years but nothing ever seemed appealing enough to apply permanently to my body.
