    Thanks Adc7225! Technically it's tomorrow so here I go...
    So, I'm not sure if this is true for anyone else but I have this issue with seeing 200 lbs on the scale. Usually, I see this number (it could be any number for you) when I'm diligent and my efforts pay off. Also at this number, I feel better, I look different and life is great. For some odd reason, I start to fall back into old habits around this time as well and it's scary. Then I watch the scale slowly creep back up to 220, feel sorry for myself and start the process all over again. This time, I am making a conscious effort to break through this 200. I need to come up with something to help me not only break through it but get to 190 so that I don't have to deal with the dreaded 200 again. Has anyone had this experience with the dead weight number on the scale and how did you break through it?

    Good morning ladies. I hope that all is well. Really needing some support. Getting a little lax but keeping my overall goals. See you ladies tomorrow.

    I find as the weather becomes warmer, I do not have the same amount of energy to go to the gym. I rather do an hour or more of gardening in the morning and the later on when its cooler would walk in the park go on the treadmill for 30 mins.

    Crossing that threshold from 200 into onederland can be very intimidating. I remember watching those numbers going down 205-204-203, etc., then seeing those 9's 199.8-199.6, etc. that plays with your mind! It throws you off, I had to find something else to focus on for a while, maybe take some, measurements or focus on some sort activity or exercise. Try to keep in mind your ultimate goal. As hard as it is right now, you will look back at this time and think what was the fuss all about :)

    Remember you have a goal and all of this is so worth it!!!

    I did good with my food and exercise yesterday and Friday. Messed up on Saturday but that was my fault due to poor planning. Not sure how today will turn out. It's my mom's birthday and we might be taking her out to eat.

    I really want to do good this week. There will be cookouts for the 4th then I start another challenge on the 5th.

    Don't give up...you can do it. I have been having joint problems of late so I have not exercised as I usually do on my treadmill. With the weight plateau, I try increasing my water intake and walking more during the day. I have a desk job and have to force myself to take a break more often. Fitbit challenges are helping me also, since they make me get up to move more often to remain competitive.

    Yesterday was good. I was trying not to eat out this week but I did Chipotle last night. The chicken I made for my lunch was nasty so I just ate the veggies. Got a workout in after not working out for 2 days. Definitely planning a workout for today.

    Scale moved this morning :) . I'm planning on doing a workout Saturday morning or evening. I know I'm going to eat a lot, but I don't want to lose my progress...again. I'll probably lower my calorie intake on Sunday and do a walking workout.

    Instead of walking on the treadmill, had a 4 hours mother /daughters shopping trip to the mall followed by late lunch. I displayed good control today by not ordering sodas,cocktail,or dessert.
