SLOW BUT STEADY

HI IT'S ME AGAIN......I,VE MANAGED TO LOSE 13 POUNDS IN THE LAST MONTH.....BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN EASY......I FIND I'M HAVING TO REALLY WORK HARD TO GET THIS WEIGHT OFF.....BUT, IT IS WORTH IT!!! I ONLY HAVE 41 MORE POUNDS TO GO.......SO I'M GOING TO SET SMALLER GOALS FOR MYSELF, LITTLE MINI GOALS. SUCH AS 10 POUNDS A MONTH....FOR THE NEXT 4 MONTHS......WE WILL SEE IF THAT WILL HELP ME STAY MORE FOCUSED....I HAVE A HARD TIME LOOKING AT THE BIG PICTURE ALL AT ONCE, SO IF I TAKE IN ONE MINI GOAL AT A TIME, I WILL FEEL EACH MONTH THAT I'VE TRUELY ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING.

I WANT TO THANK YOU GUYS, FOR YOU ENCOURAGEMENT. I WANT YOU TO KNOW IT REALLY HELPS TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE TRYING TO DO THE SAME THING........GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

You know what?!

13 pounds in one month is seriously awesome!  Keep it up!

SLOW but STEADY is the best (and most permanent) way!

Hi, Charlie, Sure, I have 35 lbs. to go, but I've already lost 40!  My goal is 140 but I started at 215!  I would never have come this far if I looked at the big picture; I just keep celebrating small victories.  So far I've averaged about 2 lbs. per week, but I don't expect to keep that up.  It doesn't matter to me, as long as I can see steady progress in the right direction (DOWN) each month.  At 13 lbs. down you must be down a whole dress size (or more) already! That's terrific!

Cheers!
