One Small Step For Mankind...

That is exactly what I seem to be doing with this "losing weight" thing. One small step. Nothing large, nothing unexpected, just small. And I am trying to be okay with that.

Before I put the number out there, I would like to share with you what I AM proud of. I am proud that in my four weeks of weighing in at Weight Watchers I have yet to put ON weight. I know, that might sound silly, but that is a huge feat for me to overcome. As I have been a WW member before (many times before), inevitably by week four I had gained some weight. Not this time. While I'd love to lose more than what I did last week and this week added together, I am still losing, so I am happy with that. I really am.

This week I lost 0.6. This brings my weight loss to a grand total of 7.2 pounds. Next week I am setting a goal for myself...I'd like to lose 1.4, at least. This is nearly double this weeks' loss, but with that goal in mind, then I will work out more, write more down, drink more water, and keep that number in my head.

I think it's great that you are losing, even if it's only a 0.6 pound loss. Just keep up with everything and you will hit your goals, albeit maybe a little slower than you had originally intended. By not giving up and getting frustrated, you are showing me the power you have and your determination. I admire that! :) See you tomorrow!

That is wonderful! ANY weight loss is great weight loss! You are doing the right things - when it comes off slowly then it is more likely to be permanent and become a healthy lifestyle instead of just a diet. Love you much!

Hey girl! I just read your last few posts. You said "just 30minutes". I say "wow, 30 minutes" that's a lot of calories to burn than 0 minutes. Way to go! I need your inspiration. I've been really bad lately b/c of emotional eating and being sick. So, I say "you're doing awsome". It's all adding up, don't give up!

you can do it...you can do it...
The first step is recognizing the need, and you've already done that. The next step is sticking to it, and it's apparent you're doing that as well. Hey, a loss is a loss, no matter what it is. Keep going down. I definitely saw a difference in you last night. I love you and support you 110%!!!
