Expectations

Love this post, and its good to re-read it. Still applies... I'm at around 2 months now, and I've stumbled once (the week around graduation was a disaster but I got back up on my horse). I've been trying to beat the upcoming wall by making sure I try out new recipies and always have something new to try.

It helps a lot to try ethnic foods. I've discovered a deep affection for sweet red bean paste. Its healthy, and there's a TON that can be done with it.

I read this posting for the first time this morning. This is GREAT information.

I'm in Phase 3. :drinker: :drinker:

Thanks Banks for this post.:flowerforyou:

I am just in Phase one having just started working with a trainer and logging my food and exercise on this great site. I haven't lost a pound yet but after 5 sessions with the trainer I can see some improvement in my strength and overall stamina.

It is helpful to be reminded of the phases involved in this journey. I printed off your post and will keep it handy to refer to when I feel discouraged.

This message board is great motivation also.

Thanks to everyone who contributes. I come here often to read the posts.

Well, weigh-in day again. I lost one more pound. Slow but in the right direction. This is week 3. I don't want to hit a wall yet. The little frog needs to move further on my ticker first!

Checking in for week 5. Stayed the same for the first time since I started on June 1. Sad day, but at least no gain. I need to read the stages again from earlier in this topic.

How are others doing?

Ugh...I have been through all those stages! But somehow I find myself back to stage one after a few years. At least this time I am armed and dangerous!



Stewie: Oh my God... It has finally happened, he has become so massive that he collapsed into himself like a neutron star.

Hi,

Just checking in. We just got back from vacation so the numbers are not so good. A trip from NC to Seattle and surrounding areas. Very beautiful. Would not change a thing we did. One of the costs is up three pounds. But I am back and tracking again. So I am feeling okay.

Others, please check in. You are my inspiration.
