Although I am doing very well with both exercise and eating I am still apprehensive re: loosing weight as I NEVER DO! Anyway, feeling good and that is the main thing. Great to hear from friends on MFP and reading the posts - have a great day.

    I understand feeling apprehensive,but don't sweat it to much. Sometimes the scale stays the same, but our clothes are falling off us! Good luck on weigh in day.

    Ok stop that negative thinking right now.

    You are a smart, successful person, you have done some amazing things in your life. You can do this too. Apply your skills to this issue, just like you would have tackled a new assignment at work.

    If you're doing the work, eating right and exercising you will see results, you might want to open your diary and get some feedback you can set it so only your friends can view it not the general public.

    And acknowledge all your NSV. Do you have more energy, do clothes fit differently, do you look forward to your healthier meals?

    Yes you can lose weight. Start telling yourself that instead of that negative stuff. Yes you can!

    Hopefully you will soon be looking forward to weigh in day rather than dreading it...success breeds success so fingers crossed that all your good work pays off.....if not on the scales, then in other ways ..... scales will evenyually show good results if you stick t it!:flowerforyou:

    Good result. You now have permission to yell at yourself whenever needed. But we are always around if you need someone yelling louder :laugh:

    I'm in the same boat. I am losing essentially nothing although I log and exercise. I am trying to be patient but it's hard. I feel better but am seeing no change weightwise. It's discouraging
