Just stay on track and keep drinking your water.:drinker: Remember -5 by Friday is a goal, something you are striving for. It doesn't mean you've failed if you don't reach it. Failure would be quiting.
Just keep trying, you'll get there eventually.

I feel your pain zenmama!

I was hoping to get down to 175 by Valentine's Day...but alas, I can't seem to break 180.

When I feel this frustrated a great and wise movie line comes to mind. "Just keeping swimming, just keep swimming." - Okay, so maybe Finding Nemo isn't that great a movie but I have to believe that if I keep working at it this eating right and working out stuff has to work!

I loved Nemo thanks for your words everyone. I am not a quitter or this time anyway LOL

"just keep swimming" was my mantra when I first started working out. I still do it from time to time (inside voice) when I don't want to go to the gym.

Zenmama,

When did you set the goal to lose 5 lbs by Friday? Just remember it's more important to lose weight slowly and keep it off, rather than quickly, just to gain it all back and more. If you made a goal to lose 5 lbs. in a 2-3 week period then I would think that is healthy weight loss. Good luck and keep your eye on the prize: excellent health.

I feel your pain, my V-day goal was 6 pounds less than what I am right now. It is so frustrating. Last week it was only 4 pounds, but some how I got 2 extra pounds over the weekend. I know that I've lose quite a bit so far and I should be happy, but it is so frustrating when the scale goes the wrong way.
