One thing that continues to help me is to remember that its not just a week long or month long thing we are changing-this is lifelong! I would get so wrapped up in the daily or weekly view that I too got frustrated when I didn't see changes in that time period. When I would look at the overall, including the past as…

Normally my periods are pretty minimal, but this round put me up 10 lbs! I was shocked as usually a 3-4 lb gain is pretty normal. I know I gave into my cravings way too frequently...but wondering if anyone else has had such a dramatic gain? I don't *feel* overly bloated but I'm really crossing my fingers that is the case…

Don't forget to shake up your exercise routine! I find that my body tends to plateau really quickly when I stick to one thing-so make sure that you're doing swimming along with another cardio activity (and maybe throw in some weights?) so that your body doesn't get used to the routine.
