    Hang in there @mandamanda93 muscle weighs more than fat and will be munching on all those fat cells in the future. How do your clothes feel? That's the biggest test for me---all the best!

    Five more days....

    Morning all! Just an encouraging word....

    Carefully consider your options for real permanent change. Every day we have a choice and every day those choices have made us who we are today. Use discernment in finding help to achieve your goals. Most of the people you encounter will be more concerned about what they can gain by helping you than caring about your interests.

    Have a great day!

    Day Weight

    4-13. 143 Day one of first 10 day cycle!
    4-14. 143 Gonna stay the course and not get discouraged!
    4-15. 143 Watching starchy carb intake and giving up sugar!
    4-16. 143 Been strength training 3 days a weeks and power walking 5 and eating 5-6 small meals to keep metabolism fired up!
    4-17. 143 Can anyone say plateau? I never want to see this number again---seriously!
    4-18. 142 Yippy skippy the scale finally moved! 5 days left including today!

    don't give up, i had plenty of sideways days in my journey. daily scale weighs can be "dangerous" to expectations but I continue to do daily weighs. Water weight plays a big factor Your behavior, attitude and your stomach will tell you where your direction (up or down) is going. Please continue to participate either way. More is better :)
