    ENCOURAGING WORD...

    ARE YOU RUFFLED?

    I know the difficulties that SOME of you have faced in recent months, and that you have been agitated and annoyed at times during this process of weight loss! I know because I have been in this place and statistically there are usually others who have struggled the same. Have you ever heard the term that 'Your Feathers have been Ruffled"? Let's smooth out those feathers this week and let go of some aggravations that you may be holding on to, so that you can move forward once again!

    Maybe it's a grievance with a family member, friend or co-worker; maybe you just can't forgive yourself for the same decisions you make over and over again. Whatever you are dealing with, forgive yourself and others--pick yourself back up and move onward in your progress. You can do this! We can do this! Today lets release all of those aggravations and move up to higher places.

    Have a great NEW week!

    My Stats:

    SW--starting weight: 143.8
    CW--current weight: 142.8
    TL--total lost: 1.0 lb.

    Well, I'm not too happy with only one pound in 3 weeks, but at least it's going in the right direction! Yay! I wrote in my Encouraging Word a bit about a struggle I've dealt with with hopes someone else will be encouraged too! WE CAN SO THIS!

    30 Sep. - 134
    05 Oct. - 133.5
    12 Oct. - 135
    19 Oct. - 134.3
    26 Oct. - 132.6
    Goal - 125

    I can't remember a time in life without cardio involved but recently (since this challenge) I've been adding strength training. The scale numbers have been playing with my mental a bit but I've been thrilled with the definition that's beginning to show.

    Any advice on strength training?
    Fairly new to it but am excited.

    You should consider a formal program like Stronglifts 5 x 5 if you're brand new to strength training. I also recommend creating a separate post to get helpful answers. There are a lot of former newbies and current fitness buffs on the forums :smile:

    In my book you deserve to earn a % of the Total Loss you've motivated others to lose in excess of your own progress :p I appreciate your positivity and congratulate your success as well. Thanks again for creating this (:

    This is great! I know that when it comes right down to only having a few pounds to lose...it become super slow, so this pace is good! Just listen to your body!
