    You're welcome. He travels all over for conferences. He might even know someone in your area if you contact him through his business.

    Well, it's about time! lol Hubby kept telling me to keep doing what I was doing and the scale would move. I just hope it doesn't go up again for no reason. If it does, I might be a little frustrated, but I won't get depressed. As long as I'm eating right.

    @L8model I think you did well for being on vacation. That's really just maintaining if it's less than a pound. Well, that's how I feel about it. lol

    WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE 2016

    MY STARTING WEIGHT:
    5/9/16: 147.2
    5/16/16: 144.8
    5/23/16: 143.6
    5/30/16: 143.2
    6/6/16: vacation
    6/13/16: vacation
    6/20/16: 142.0
    6/27/16: 141.6
    7/4/16: 141.0
    7/11/16:
    7/18/16:
    7/25/16:

    WEIGHT LOSS FOR THE WEEK: -0.6 (down 6.2 total for 8 weeks)
    GOAL WEIGHT LOSS FOR TOTAL CHALLENGE: 20 lbs
    GOAL WEIGHT RANGE: 125-130
    ULTIMATE WEIGHT LOSS GOAL: Healthy Range 125

    So I'm down 6.2 pounds for 8 weeks! That's about 0.7 lbs loss per week on an average. So I've got three weeks left and realize I'm not going to hit my initial goals, but also realize that life happens, celebrations come and they go, vacations interfere, weather plays havoc with my walking plan, there you have it...one excuse after the other. I could say it's excuses, or I could just say, "Hey, I'm down 6.2 pounds and be happy with who I am on the inside! That the number on the scale doesn't define who I am! I am defined by who I am on the inside of me and I think that's pretty great! Yay!

    Good Morning all!
    Hope everyone had a nice Holiday yesterday!
    I "forgot" to post my update last week. My memory lapse may have had something to do with my small gain last week. Maybe.
    But, I did my best to get back on track this week (with the exception of yesterday -- yikes!!), and it paid off!
    I need to get my motivation back, so I can finish out this month, and this challenge, hitting my goal of a 10 lb loss!

    Thanks for listening. :smiley:

    ENCOURAGING WORD...

    For those who need it today more than any other day!

    Our breakthroughs are right here right now. Can you see them? They are in the little things...Like that choice you made to go to bed early or take a long bubble bath instead of snacking mindlessly through the night. Or maybe it was your choice to get out of bed in the morning and take a long walk even though it was cold and rainy outside. Or just maybe it was your choice to love who you are and who you where made to be instead of telling yourself you'll never amount to anything.

    Celebrate your breakthrough today by thinking on what you did do right instead of what you didn't. Don't consume yourself every waking minute with this 'THING'. It doesn't control you, you control 'IT'! Yes, journal your food and yes, log your progress, but then let it go for the rest of your day and live well.

    All you have is today, so make it your best.

    Thank you! I'm very happy with where I am. I just hit a new low, today (7/5), at 180.7 lbs. The morning I got home from Hawaii (7/2) I actually weighed in at 185.3 lbs. Guess I just needed a few days for my body to normalize. =)
