I had really hoped to be farther along by now, but since I'm lower than I was last week, I won't complain. It's my own fault anyway.

Updating for the week.

Start Date July 15 Starting weight 303
Week 1 July 22 - 300.4 down 2.6 I'll take it!
Week 2 July 29 – 300.4 No loss but after camping last weekend I’m surprised I didn’t gain. Hopefully next week will show a loss.

Week 3 August 5 - 299.6 -.8 lost really been struggling. Still trying though.
Week 4 August 12 – 296 -3.6 woohoo!!!!!
Week 5 August 19 – 293.8 -2.2 Yeah! I didn’t blow it on my camping trip last weekend.
Week 6 August 26 – 292.3 -1.5 Woo hoo! Might make it to my goal next week! I sure hope so! Total of 10.7 lost since we started.

Week 7 September 2 Labor Day is Monday - hope to be @ 290 by today. 291.4 lost .9 this week and didn’t make my goal:sad: Oh well, there’s always next week.
Week 8 September 9 – 287.2 -4.2 lost Woo hoo! I’m only a few days late but I’m definitely below 290 now.
Week 9 September 16
Week 10 September 23
Week 11 September 30 Eli’s birthday – shooting for 280 (will be happy with 285 though)

I guess working a second job that keeps me on my feet has helped a bit. I pulled 25 hours there over the holiday weekend and it apparently paid off. Let's hope it continues.

I am starting to see a trend-- maybe all the junk needs to get booted out of the house!! I went through a time where I was constantly hungry and then realized that upping my fiber intake has made a huge difference. I am watching that and my protein intake. Now to just stay on task.

I feel your pain.
I can not get past this certain weight no matter what I do!
Just keep keeping on and it will eventually go away. I have faith!!

Who else is stuck on a plateau here? For those of you who have busted out of a long plateau period, what did you do that worked? I'd appreciate any advise 'cuz I'm getting frustrated (not enough to throw in the towel, though - I just want the scale to move again!)

I started the C25K running program this week and so far have done Week 1, Day 1 & 2. I even have my daughter running with me which is a great way to spend time together. I also rejoined the gym and hope to go tonight for some strength training. I don't even care that I might look like a stuffed sausage in my running outfit...lol... because I am going to look awesome in the end from all the work.

Been doing good with Clean Eating other than the occasional white flour tortilla if I am in a hurry and have to get McDonald's Chicken Fajitas to go. It's been 2.5 months with no pop, tea, coffee, any junk food whatsoever (yep, even chocolate), pizza, chinese food, etc, etc, etc and I feel great!

Keep faith in yourself and be honest with yourself and you can do it!!!

Take care,
Tammy
