    Quite a big loss - I am at my parents and so used their scale, which is on a better surface than my own.



    WAY TO GO!!! You are the biggest loser so far this week! Keep up the great work!

    ENCOURAGING WORD...

    Just losing weight is only the beginning of things! A friend of mine once lost all of her weight and told me she thought it would feel different--she thought she'd be happier. I realized after speaking with her that losing the weight won't matter much if we don't like what we see in the mirror before the weight loss. Look at yourself in the mirror! Take a good long look! So many times, I focus on the external and not what's at my inner core.

    Look to the core matters in your life and within yourself without being distracted by irrelevant concerns to enjoy each season you are in. This will help you to focus on what is really important to you. When you reach your goal weight you will have already begun to enjoy who you really are at the core. I believe we must get to this place of awareness before we can realize effective progress. Don't waste your time worrying about things that have no value. Organize your day and your thoughts in such a way that you put aside the extraneous distractions and make your important priorities rise to the top.

    After all my excitement for weigh-in I had gained! Makes sense though, I had a big loss the week before and I'm still on a downward trend overall so keeping up the hard work :)

    @evelynwhitelaw Love the positive outlook! Good luck!

    I had weighed myself on Monday but didn't post it because I was disappointed in myself that the scale hadn't moved. But I tried again the next day, and this time I made sure it was first thing in the morning before I ate anything and after using the bathroom, and the number had moved! Our weights fluctuate through out the day and I think we can save ourselves a lot of frustration/disappointment if we keep this in mind. Good work everyone! (:
