    I worked hard for this week's loss.
    Had a work lunch outing yesterday. Was so proud of myself that I ate only my salad while everyone else was eating all the free bread. Now that's an NSV!!

    I'm pretty proud of my weight loss so far, even if it does appear to be slow. I don't count calories because I find it frustrating and time-consuming (for me), so instead I try to just be mindful of what I do (or don't!) eat. Although that means it's a bit slower than it could be, I've been steadily losing a bit of weight by doing this (instead of counting calories for two weeks, getting frustrated, giving up, and gaining the weight back).

    Also: I'm so proud of everyone's achievements so far!

    Okay... I'm getting pretty frustrated. In the past four weeks all I've lost is 1.4 lbs. Does anyone have any words of wisdom for this?

    Are you weighing everything you eat? What is your deficit? Are you eating back all of your exercise calories? What are your stats (age, height, goal weight, etc)? I sent a friend request to look at your diary and hopefully try and help. We can figure this out!

    @MsBeverleyH Try changing up your workout routine. I suggest Jillian Michael's 30-day shred. It's 22minutes/day and is amazing!!

    Aug 30: 243 It seems like my weight wooshes on Monday and drops a little more on Tuesday and Wednesday. It then bounces up a little on Thursday, just in time for weigh in, and then holds relatively steady Friday through Sunday. Not upset since the trend is downward. And really, I'm losing a little too fast. Just kinda neat that I found my body's pattern.
