    Way to work hard at it ladies!

    I am only 1 pound less into the 5 pounds I pledged for the challenge - but I am doing what I am supposed to do....working out 5 days a week, drinking water, eating right-staying in my calories, adding in for exercise....it's just a slow process and I am OK with that....as long as I continue to feel as great as I do - I know the weight will change with all that I am doing. Would I love to report 3 pounds in a week every week - oh yeah - but I know that long term - this is the way that *I* need to do this.
    This weekend was a rest weekend for me - I realized that I was totally wiped out after 2 days at the fitness center so I rested-still stayed within calories. back at it today.

    Happy Monday!

    I'll weigh tomorrow, but i feel like in the last 2 weeks everything has hit me. My best friends grandmother, who I was closed to passed away last week and on Saturday i found out my dad is in the hospital. Needless to say i thought I was done eating to cope with things, but after this week its been tough. I'm going to try and do great today...just a little frustrated! :/

    Down another pound today! That brings my total to 312 pounds! I have lost lost 18 pounds since Jan 5th so that is good! Not feeling so hot today I have a killer sore throat and a monthly visitor so might be going slow today!!

    :happy: Thanks for the encouragement on this Frosty Monday morning in Hotlanta. This is my first week using myfitnesspal website. The website has been an inspiration for me. I can't believe the food that I have been putting inside of my body. I am going to continue to press on!



    Thanks
    lbhoward:flowerforyou: and our support team!

    I'm annoyed with my body. I'm not sure what is going on, but the scale is creeping back up on me again. The only 2 times this happens is TOM & plateau. I JUST broke a plateau 3 weeks ago so I was really hoping that I could make it to my goal without hitting another one. TOM...well...that's a challenge in itself with me but I won't get into it with all of you. :bigsmile:

    Good job to everyone else on your achievements! T, you are kicking some butt!

    Shannon - Seriously, woman!? FIVE miles! WOW!

    Ness - I'm sorry about your struggles right now. *hugs* It is all a learning experience with food. I know you can do it!

    Chrissy - I'm jealous of your resting! I wanted to rest this weekend, but my husband wanted to learn one of my workouts so I had to teach that to him this weekend & I ended up working out much more than I wanted. Maybe my body's just over worked. *shrug* I dunno. Anyways, you have SUCH a great attitude! I love it! I love the new av, too!

    Kelly, I feel you with the plateau - I only actually check in once a week - I weigh daily - my weight fluctuates by 2 pounds consistently from day to day so i always count wednesday as my official day If you had to do the "wrong thing" by not resting - things could have been worse....like a double cheeseburger and fries....:laugh: Just kidding - I do try to be sure and work in some rest I think it also helps recharge my body.

    I know it's really hard to be positive when the loss doesn't seem to be happening - that's why I measure and also just remember how good I feel - it's enough to keep me going.

    Ness - hope you have a better week.
    Shannon - 5 miles - I would die!

    I think I'm going to take your advice & measure on Wed. I was doing it every week but the first plateau I hit in December made me stop that b/c it was too depressing at the time. :laugh: I've been on here about 6.5 months & have made some drastic changes in a lot of aspects of my life so I just need to keep focused on that. It is just one of those things that is SOOOOO close, but seems like it'll never get here. Kinda like the last 3 weeks of pregnancy. :laugh: If only I could just go through 12 hours of labor & be done with my last 4 pounds! THAT would be awesome! HA!
