    my second month in this journey is being a bit difficult....
    In February, I was seeing 1-2 lbs result each week, but in this month, the number just keeps jumping back up and back down with no real progress. Give me a shout if you're as frustrated as I am!

    this happened to me last month. i ended up only losing 2lbs in Feb. But the plateau must be over because i am losing again in March! Just keep at it! :)

    riday and did ack on it, and I'm going to stay on it all this week to be in the best possible position next Friday.

    I started 30 day shred last week and weight lost halted. Fact gained .6 of a pound. Yesterday and today are the only times I saw a downward movement in the scale. I had feared I would have been ending the week with a negative lost. Didn't bother me a HUGE lot (maybe small lie :smile: ) cause I saw a lot of difference in measurements. So happy today when I saw the 1 pound loss!!

    Loss for the month: 2.6 lbs. Five pounds seems like a really really long ways off! :(

    So, not the kind of loss I was hoping for, as I have been pushing exercise and watching every calorie this week; however, it is still a loss, so I'm going to try to keep on keeping on. Need a BIG last week to reach five pounds gone for the month! I think I can, I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.........

    Everyone above me here, you are all doing so great. I'm going to pull inspiration from all of you, and YAY for all your hard work!!!

    Shirley61, you are doing fabulously, just don't give up. You have a great smile and this will all be worth it when you see the lbs. start falling off!!!
