    I started January 25 just hoping get to January 26. Increment by 1 daily.

    I don't care, really, what I weigh tomorrow morning. Each day before weighing I psych up for a gain, then I measure. If it's a loss, ok. If it's a gain, ok. If it's nothing, ok. The thing I do care about is staying on the eating plan, staying somewhere close to my personal goal of less than 1500 calories and less than 1500 mg sodium. Today was a pleasant surprise because I really did expect a gain due to having gone way over my goal on sodium yesterday and having had no #2 for 36 hours. I measured a small loss.

    You'll be there before you know it! I'm approaching the 65 lbs lost mark so I know it's frustrating when you're in the thick of it. But just keep telling yourself that you're making a positive change and keep going!

    Also, don't be afraid of little slip ups. Weight loss is anything but linear, so you might backslide a little but your overall goal is to be healthy and it's part of the process.

    You'll do great!
