    @izzy214 Well done! It's quite right what you say about the weight not being your primary goal. My primary goal has always been to improve my health and fitness. I have a mountain of energy since I lost the weight, so I'm very happy! :smiley:

    I'm a day early in weighing in, but going to Disney this weekend so figured I'd get it out of the way. So happy to be down another 3 pounds!

    Feeling a little defeated. Working out 4-6/week for an hour and keeping calories in check. Hoping next week is a better week.

    I have lost 15lbs since the beginning of January. 11lbs more to go to reach my (pre children) goal weight. I have a small frame so it's a weight that suits me although it's quite low! So glad to join this challenge so I can rock my bikini this summer :)

    Not the best but I'll most certainly take it! I went to the Red Wings game on Thursday so that killed the diet a little for the week. I'm getting married Friday so it might be another rough weekend, but I'm going to focus on healthy.

    This is really frustrating but managing not to gain on steroids is at least something to be happy about. I have so much energy the last few days and I'm putting it to good use. This is just a little stall on my road to success. Considering my consultant told me I would definitely gain I'm happy enough to be controlling that.

    Get a mantra

    You’ve heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? If you keep focusing on things you can’t do, like resisting junk food or getting out the door for a daily walk, chances are you won’t do them. Instead (whether you believe it or not) repeat positive thoughts to yourself. “I can lose weight.” “I will get out for my walk today.” “I know I can resist the pastry cart after dinner.” Repeat these phrases and before too long, they will become true for you.

    Getting The Weight Off

    Getting the weight off—and keeping it off—is a slow process. Watching the number on a scale can be depressing. Plus if you're focused on losing a set number of pounds in a specific amount of time, missing that goal can be very disappointing. Losing weight should be a secondary benefit to your overall health gains—not your primary goal. The steeper the mountain, the more difficult the first step is. And if you're carrying a lot of extra weight, taking that first step toward a healthier lifestyle can be especially daunting. With that being said, by setting the bar too high, you're setting yourself up for failure. Start by setting modest goals and avoid the pitfalls of burnout or the debilitating repercussions of missing your targets.

    Motivational!
