So, based on my last post.....
What is your biggest downfall/challenge?
Mine is the gym. I can do the eating plan. I can drink my water. I can take 37 vitamins a day(well, not quite). But, I just HATE going to the gym! LOL I feel great afterward, but I have to push myself to go. So, it's a constant challenge.
I guess we all have one...so...what is yours? =)
Thanks in advance for sharing...
Have a great Tuesday!
Hugs, Heather

Hiya Everyone!
So, for the past 2 weeks...well actually, I lost count, but I think it was about 2 weeks...
I have been stalled. Totally stuck. I have noticed in the past that if I don't get all my protein or all my water, I can see my loss start to slow, so I made sure to log my food each day. Honestly, I was getting all my protein and all my water. So, I figured I needed to do more exercising. I went to the gym 3 days in a row and evendid one whole hour on the elliptical! YaY me! Now, Iknow that exercising one day does NOT mean the next day you will hop on the scale and automatically see it go down, but I just thought it might put me over whatever hump I was facing. But....NOTHING!
I was seriously starting to get scared. I mean, I don't remember ever NOT being fat. I think I am at the lowest weight I can remember--well, lowest adult weight, I guess. So, I don't know what it is to be thin. I thought maybe at 103 pounds, my body was just done. Maybe I wasn't going to lose any more weight. I was terrified. I mean, don't get me wrong. I don't need to be "skinny" or wear a bikini. I know that I may never really be thin by the world's standards. But, I just want my health to be better. I want the doctors to tell me I could have a baby and have that baby be healthy.
So...I was really hoping that I would go to the scale one morning and see a 7 pound loss or something like that. I have heard many of you talk about times like that, when a stall produces a big drop. So, a few days ago, I step on the scale and it's gone down 6 tenths of a pound. Yup. 6 tenths.
I was just getting so discouraged and even depressed. I could feel like I just wasn't myself. I had a fight with my best friend and just wasn't into doing anything, not on purpose, it was just how I felt.
Well, ::drumroll:: I am happy to inform you that the scale has started moving! Oh, wait! ::knock on wood:: There. Just in case! So, In the past few days, I have now lost like 5 pounds total. I am so relieved, you just have no idea. Well, actually, I bet you do! So, I am still going to pay attention and not slack. I am going to continue to try and get my butt to the gym. Some people just LOVE the gym. I like when I am finished at the gym. LOL I just never FEEL like going there. I really try to have it together with my eating, drinking, vitamins, choices I make, but that gym..is my downfall. I guess we all have one in our journey--One thing that is our biggest challenge.
Well, I'll stop babbling now! I just wanted to share...because I am happy and relieved! But also, so that if some people are dealing with a complete halt, they can know that others go through it, too. And, we know what you're going through!
Have a great Tuesday!!!!

Topic: ITS ABOUT TIME!!!
I have to say I have been really frustrated. 
I have been doing all the right things. I have been eating well (1000 - 1200 calories ). working out 
4x - 5x a week for a minimum of an hour, with a minimum of 30 minutes of high intensity cardio. I have been drinking my water. I have been getting in more than enough protein. I have been attending and running support groups. I have been doing all the right things and the scale has not budged. In fact, thats not true I gained 2 lbs!!!! What the heck!!!!! I felt like I was running into a brick wall! 
So...I stepped up my game in the gym. I have been trying to increase my cardio from 30 minutes to 60 minutes.
Well... this morning I stepped on the scale and low and behold I have lost 5.6lbs!!!!!!
So aside for my ranting and hopes for praise lol I wrote this to give hope to anyone whos at a stall. Trick your body. Change it up a little.
Eat a little less protein shake a little more meat. Workout an extra 15 minutes a day. Do a different type of exercise. Everntually you will get on the scale and be blown away like I was this morning! 
To our success,
Rachel
