    Okay, back on track and moving the right direction again. I had gained back 5 pounds, almost back to the starting point of this challenge. Probably won't hit my goal, but here's to moving forward!

    For those of you who have lost over 20 pounds already at the 5 week mark, congratulations! I am impressed and slightly jealous(gained weight instead) and it makes everyone realize it can be done if you try. Keep it up and finish strong!

    I lost 2lbs this week, was a bit disheartened after 3 great weight losses, on the up side my diabetic nurse keeps reducing my insulin every 4 days. The only thing different i did this week was i didnt drink loads of water,so maybe that effects the weight loss . oh well onward and downward .
    have a great week everyone

    2 lbs. a week is admirable -- especially for women whose bodies tend to resist weight loss more than men's. Don't discount it! You are doing great. Put yourself in the mindset that "any net loss is a win", because that's the truth.
