WOW! 5 pounds down this week!

[Riddy]

So I've been Medifasting since April, and the weight loss has definitely slowed down. In December I chalked it up to little cheats on the weekends. In January I cut out the cheating, started doing yoga 3-4 times a week, and I still only had 1 week where I lost more than a pound. Last Saturday's weigh in I only lost 0.2 pounds, so I was seriously frustrated.

I decided it was time to DO something, so I poked around on the exercise forum here. I bought a kettlebell that came with a workout DVD. I did it twice this week; once for 20 minutes and once for 27 minutes. I lost 5 pounds this week! I not only finally reached 75 pounds down, I zoomed right past it! I don't know if the new exercise broke the plateau or not, but it's certainly motivating me to keep it up!

Thanks, girls!

This was JUST what I needed to get excited about losing the rest of the weight. I had gotten myself into a funk, thinking that at 1 pound a week, it would take another whole year to reach goal. I mean, I like the Medifast food, but I don't want to be eating it 5 times a day for another year. Now I have hope that it could happen before fall.
