    Hi. I'm Michelle and I just lost my first 10 lbs. :)
    I am finding that each week I am finding more low-calorie, filling foods. This week's find has been Wal-Mart chicken egg rolls at 120 calories each. They have a nice balance of fat/protein/carbohydrates. (3.5 grams fat) I have been eating them for snacks or breakfast and find that I am really having to work hard to find enough calories to eat! Before that I was on a fresh asparagus kick and those were good, too. Think variety and low-cal, filling foods. I also eat all day it seems. Hang in there and think of each pound lost as a 10 lb. loss!

    Toss those scales! Measure centimeters, then inches. When I started, I GAINED weight on the stupid scale. But, I was working out with a personal trainer and after a month of increased scale weight, but looser clothes, my scale started to drop fast. Then it plateaued and the inches starting coming off and then the scales jumped down a few pounds again. Think in terms of a month-long mini-goal. Remember, this is a life-style change. I started with my personal trainer back in October and didn't see any weight loss on the scale until November and then it was only a couple of pounds. I am finally getting into the habit of eating right. Not there yet, but way closer than I have been. :) You can do it!

    When you're close it may seem close enough, like you really won't notice the extra 10 lbs.

    Get a backpack and load it with 10 lbs of soup cans. Wear it all day. Then feel what it's like without it. That's what losing another 10 lbs will feel like.
