I'm actually LOSING

I'm excited to announce that I'm LOSING weight. After months of being on a plateau (and losing motivation by the day because the scale was up-down-up-down-up-down), for the past four weeks I have lost weight every week except one (the one week that every woman dreads and gains no matter what). As of today, I've lost 4.2 pounds in 4 weeks. That is a lot for me because I'm a little person to begin with and am working on those last few pounds!!!
YAY!
How have I done it?
1. Switched from WW points to tracking calories w/ MFP
2. Eat at LOT more protein - about 1g per pound in body weight - and lots more veggies
3. Work out 5x a week ... anywhere from 20-60 minutes
4. Eat small meals throughout the day
5. I'm a team captain for a Biggest Loser challenge at work ... I send out daily health topic updates to my team, which keeps me focused on the goal as well!
YAY!

WOW Congratulations... maybe going from weight watchers to a different type of eating was the difference. I think when you "shake up" your system with something new it starts to rev up again!!
