    ENCOURAGING WORD...

    The changes that have come about in your life will have greater than normal impact on your future. I would like to encourage everyone everywhere that these simple changes taking place in lifestyle choices do take time to create long lasting effects! As I've learned over a 10 day vacation to see family, it is hard sometimes to stay on track when eating out, attending football games and (the such). However, it's through the challenges that we persevere! Let us persevere together!

    Stay the course! If you've fallen down, pick yourself back up--it's a brand new day and we get to have a do-over if we need one! When I was visiting my grand-daughter on my vacation we saw Cinderella (2015 Disney version)... And I came away with the simple message that could hold true for all of us! HAVE COURAGE AND BE KIND!

    HAVE COURAGE this week to make it your best! No one is watching what you do, but you are here on this journey and we all have a common thread--we desire to be healthy and active! Losing weight is a grand start!

    BE KIND to yourself and to others! I sometimes find that when I've made unhealthy choices it tends to reflect on how I treat others. Even though it may have been a rough few weeks, take some time to take care of you and treating others in good ways makes one feel better about who they themselves are.

    Have a fabulous day!

    Loved this! Thanks for posting :smile:

    Last week was 188. Over the weekend I ate at maintenance but since it was a celebration weekend (Halloween party at camp and my sister's baby shower ) my salt and carbs were higher than normal. Damn you glycogen restore lol almost 6 lbs higher. However I know this will go down in a couple days.

    Weighed in this morning and I'm pleased as punch to report that I'm at 179! I haven't seen the 170s since February this year!

    10/1/15: 182
    10/5/15: 181
    10/12/15: 181
    10/19/15: 179!

    A little more slow going initially than I'd hoped, but getting into the 170s has given me a boost! I've also started using my gym membership more than I ever have before. It's amazing, I feel so much better than I have in years!

    Thanks, hillcrestbaby. This thread is such a boon, and it's awesome to see everyone else doing so well. I also love your motivational posts. You're amazing! :smile:

    Well this week is my TOM so no weigh in for me! I am happy with the work I put in last week though. I travelled and had a birthday party and I still managed to track my calories and I worked out five times.

    SW: 129lbs
    CW: 125lbs

    I've finally hit 125lbs which was my original goal when coming on here, but I've since set the bar for 119lbs as my stretch goals.

    So I will celebrate later this week with a home made pizza before moving on to those last 6lbs.

    I've now lost twenty pounds and am just off my goal, so I'm increasing my calories a little this week in order to slow my weight loss and ease into maintenance. We'll see how it goes...
