Well...that's not good at all....

Good job everyone for posting weelky, regardless of progress!! Congrats on the losses!! Keep up the hard work!! For those that didn't lose, I only saw 1 or 2 NSV! We have to change our thinking away from just relying on the scales. Those NSV are huge!!!
HUGE!!! Like...

Did you make your goal of working out ___x/week?
Did you make your goal of logging into your journal everyday?
Did you make your goal of drinking more water this week?
Did you take the stairs 1x this week instead of the eleveator?
Did you park in a spot farther away from the doors in a parking lot?
Did you reach for food once this week and stop yourself because you realized you weren't hungry?
Did you write in a journal about your feelings and make a discovery about triggers?
Did you figure out a way to distract yourself or turn yourself around when a trigger occurs?
Did you fiind yourself, thinking.. hey! I'm doing my body good by doing this!?
Did you get more sleep this week?

The above questions needed to be asked and considered, because the scale doesn't weigh those progresses. Those are mental changes that ARE happening in you. Those are HABITS that you ARE changing!! So be sure to give yourself the proper credit, even when the scale doesn't it!! The scale is a fickle thing!! And who really knows what affects the scales w/liquids, sleep, exercise, etc. (Someone does, but we're not the scientists!)

Keep working hard!! Pat yourself on the back- you're still here!! Keep posting- keep journalling- and keep DOING. YOU ARE DOING IT!! :bigsmile:

I want new walking/running shoes this month! That will be my reward for making this goal. :-)

... So, I've passed my May goal already. Not sure how this happened, as I am definitely not starving myself, and I'm staying late at work too often to get some decent exercise in (or, indeed, any!).

No NSVs, but I think I should set a NSG of getting that exercise in!

Sigh had such a binge weekend! I gained 2lbs these things happen. I am being so good this week. Hopefully them 2 lbs will be gone again by friday!
