So just when i thought i was failing....

:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

So as I was turning in my accountability report for the Wellness program at work I got really happy!!! I was feeling a little bummed because it was just feeling like a bad week. I have had a lot of scale flucuation this week, and despite my best efforts to not let it bum me out it kinda did. I was down to 366 on Sunday then yesterday back up to 368. This morning 369....so when I get to work its time to report our progress for the month. Not only did I have 30+ hours of physical activity, I have lost a total of 13 pounds, and get this 15.5 inches over all on my body!!!!! HOLY SMOKES!!!! That is so awesome! SO needless to say I kicked my self in the heiny for being bullied by my scale and instead focused on my amazing progress. By theend of July I will be posting another progress picture!! Also the challenges for this month that I am completing is to get in 50 miles and there is a plank challeng I am dying to try so wish me luck and get out there and get motivated people! It works!!!!!!!

    I take no notice of the scales as they really do affect my mood.

    As long as I'm eating healthier and exercising I know I am doing well and to me my fitness is more important than a number on the scale.

    Well done on your loss, you are doing amazing - hope you didn't kick yourself too hard!!

    It's great that you stuck with the program. Your weight fluctuates throughout the day, so don't get down when the numbers change. It's not the number on the scale that counts, it's how your clothes fit. Just because I weigh a certain amount doesn't mean I can't wear a certain size. Set a size goal and shoot for it. The scale is just a little pusher, but shouldn't be the main reason for weight loss. You can do this. Keep your chin up. Use this progress report as motivation to do better for the next.

    Great job, I'm sure this is one of many achievements for you. Sometimes I think our scales really help defeat us... you can't live with them or without them.
