This week’s battle has been not getting demoralized by seeing 5-10lb weekly losses posted every week by others and only seeing 2lb weekly losses on my own scale. Got into trouble for a few days stress eating over it, but rallied to still post a loss this week. Have to remember that the “race” is long and, in the end, the competition is only with myself. Feeling centered now.

I am glad you came to the realization that you did....that it is a long race and the only competitor in the race is you! When people post larger weekly losses, there could be a number of reasons for it; Maybe they have more to lose, maybe they are experiencing a whoosh after a plateau, maybe they are just starting out and are losing a lot of water weight for the first two or three weeks, maybe they just got over the flu or maybe they are simply not eating enough. Whatever it is, it is NOT sustainable for the long term. However, a one or two pound loss weekly IS sustainable!! And one pound a week for a whole year is 52 pounds lost!! That would put you around 154 for next Christmas. Sounds pretty good doesn't it? And that is only if you never have any two pound weeks!! If I lose one or two pounds I am really satisfied, any more is just gravy! You lost almost two pounds...congratulations!!!

January has been somewhat of a stabilization month for me. When I started with this challenge in October, my only goal was to lose some weight. So, I did that. Since the weight came off so quickly and seemingly easy amidst some really stressful times, I've added in a new goal.

I want to compete at a Fitness competition. This means bulking up a little bit so I can tweak my body and then shred off another 15-20lbs of fat. There is also a 90 day transformation portion to the competition, so next weekend I get to take my before pictures and the really kick it into high gear.

So although I didn't help our team out much this month, next month I'll be back at it, dropping pounds all over the place

Sorry Team... Not able to weigh in this week...
I have the flu and have been stuck with it since last week

Hopefully once this passes I can get back to the challenge.. Hoping this weekend will be the end of it...

I will try to weigh in Monday coming up.. I will probably will have gained due to lack of exercise and just eating what I think I can taste.
