RESIST! you become obsessed, weighing after every meal or every trip to the bathroom. Hide your scale and make your official weigh-in "it"
I would argue with my coach, it'd say 148 and I would pout, but I saw 146 this morning and just like that even though it was a loss, it wasn't "good enough"

congrats on making it to day 4, thats the hard stretch. I am 45 days in and have to remind myself to eat!

So, I had my first weigh-in with no loss, although the last three days on my scale I had been down three pounds, had the scale hid today. I think I may have overdone the salt in the last two days. However, I did lose an inch in waist and hips.
NSV- awesome yoga class Tonight with my daughter Tate. It was really restorative.

Oh and about nobody noticing my weight loss, I am not disappointed, just found it interesting. I live in a community that will comment on such things, well loses not gains. It shows me that others aren't as obsessed with our weight as much as we might think.

My goal this week is more H2O!!!! Have another volleyball tourney tomorrow lots of driving and a very early morn.

Great job everyone for putting ourselves first where our bodies are concerned!

But I'm super excited about your going to see Miranda. Because my man Chris Young is opening for her. I met him when he was young(er), he was
involved in being a model for boys in reading. I am very involved in that in education so encountered him through that.
He is super talanted as is Miranda. It will be a great show!
I'm waiting to see when she comes to Canada with her tour. But it is likely the opening acts will change in Canada.

Have fun!

WOW! That is really cool about Chris Young. I was not aware of that at all. Knew he was a good boy! I am super excited for tomorrow night. I will post about it Sunday.

I love it too! My coach suggested it after I complained about needing something to 'pick me up' after exercising. He said it has the highest protein so would be beneficial immediately after exercise. I'm think I'm going to mix it with some ice in the blender and make a smoothy.

Hey everyone, I have been on the road most well all of the day BUT I had a "moment" today...here it goes.....

I was in line at the pharmacy at walmart, the lady in front of me was all talking to the girl behind the counter never noticing me behind her. When she noticed someone was behind her she said oh I am sorry didn't realize you were there, I said oh its ok no biggie, she looked at me and her mouth dropped to the floor. I knew who she was, I used to work with her its been a year since she has seen me. She couldn't say anything she just hugged me and busted out crying, the lady behind the counter looked at me confused. My friend let go of me by the shoulder's looked at me again and hugged me again still crying her eyes out. The lady says I think this is a "moment" I said the last time she saw me I was 134lbs heavier, her mouth dropped as well.....lol.....that was the first time that someone has reacted to me like that but then again its the first person that has seen me since for the first time since starting the program. I have had a good day that is for sure.....lol

Now that's a great response to weight loss- a hug and breaking down in tears its most important to be proud of ourselves- but it is nice to have positive reactions from others too- a little ego booster every now and then doesn't hurt!!!

I weigh myself every morning first thing. I've seen it all on my scale, up and down and at times nothing at all for a few days. I handle it just fine because I trust the process. However if you think you will have a difficult time then put it away. You know yourself best.
