Drop 10 for 10 Challenge (10410)
Weekly Weigh - In, 4th week of March
Hi to Everyone
As of today I am still at 138lb and holding steady...I'm really feeling like I'm moving at a snails pace trying to get myself to stay motivated and on track...12 weeks in from the start of 2010 and down a solid 3 lbs...Not exactly the loss I was hoping for, but holding onto the progress...
I've finally seemed to have stopped bouncing so much in the upward direction...Usually by Friday I'm down a couple lbs from the start of the weeks weight, but between getting off track about eating and no planned exercise on the weekends I usually climb up a pound between Friday morning and Monday morning weights...
OK, so it should be obvious to me that the weekend is where I need to put my focus, if I want to really get serious and drop under 130lbs anytime soon...
Anyone else out there struggling with keeping your eye on the prize over the weekend? Tell me what you do to keep the momentum...
Thanks...

Congratulations!! Slow is good. No is also good keeping that scale steady is even better. I am having the same issue, Have noticed the clothes a lot looser.
Over the weekend I would weigh daily but record only on Monday this way you can monitor what you are eating and if you notice any upward fluctuations in your weight you can manage at that point.
My weight has been the same for 3 weeks, my clothes are looser, and yes I have struggles keeping my eyes on the prize. What I tell my self is I can eat whatever I want and remain the same weight or even gain or I can stick to my plan and reach my goals. Its so important for me to loose my weight so I will stay with the plan.

Hey Melva,
I like that line " I can stick to my plan and reach my goals", its important to have a thought in mind to pull up when you're thinking about drifting off course, It simple but thats the beauty of this kind of thinking...Thanks, I'm going to steal it from you ...
