frustrated

My name is Dawn and the beginning of March my husband and I entered a radio contest for a 6 week slim down. Since the 3rd of March I have lost 19#, 8 inches in my waist, 5 1/2 in my hips and 3 1/2 in my chest. But this last week I'm only down a pound. Am I just being greedy when it comes to results or should I be doing something different? I would love to hook up with some friends that can guide and encourage me along.:happy:

  • Hi Dawn,
    Congratulations on your 19 pound loss! That is quite a significant loss for a month's time and you should be proud. I think the hardest thing to remember during any weight loss journey is that people won't always lose what they hope to every single week. Some weeks will be better than others but try not to let that put a damper on your motivation. You have come far in a short time and your body has to adjust to it also. A few years ago I lost 35 pounds on Weight Watchers and it took me six months. Since then it has taken me a bit longer to lose but I try not to get discouraged because I know that I am making an effort. I just wanted to send you some thoughts of encouragement on your journey, try and focus on what you have accomplished thus far! Keep pushing forward!

    it often comes off easily in the beginning but will slow down a bit when your body gets used to things. Try switching some things up.......... ;)
