Broken Scale?
So tell me if you think my scale is broken. I bought a cheap $20 scale from target to track my progress. I check it once a week. This morning I step on the scale, and it reads 174lbs, which means I've gained 4lbs since starting this diet. Not convinced this was true, I tried it again, this time it reads 162.5lbs. I tried 2…

New mission Statment
O.k. so I am sitting here trying to think of a quote that totally sums up what what I need to focus on in this struggle with my weight. The quote is "Ambition is the path to success but persistence is the vehicle you arrive in." Persistence. Working out even when you feel that it is not working and you see no progress.…

Mixed feelings..
So! I just noticed on my counter that it looks like I've dropped 11 lbs... I've got about 5-10 more that I want to lose, but am pretty hyped about where I am at the moment. I can't believe it every time i step on the scale and the numbers just keep going down... The thing is, despite having lost said 11 lbs, I have lost…

Words of Wisdom - 7.23.08 - This weeks attitude
Good morning. A positive attitude has nothing to do with what happens to you. Its what you do with, and how you react to, what happens to you!! Your humor, internal belief system, and your ability to look at things from a different perspective. Thats the key to a positive attitude! Stuck in traffic, NO PROBLEM! Turn on the…

Disapointed in myself
I started in February. I have been doing this for 6 months now. Half a year!! I have only lost 20lbs!! The same 20lbs I had lost in the first 2 months!!! It all comes down to the junk food I eat. I should be down 30lbs at LEAST!! I would almost be at my half way goal if I wasn't so... I don't even know what to call myself!…
