I am on this website nearly every day, I just don't contribute very often. Still, I get so much inspiration out of reading about others working towards the same goal!

A month or so ago I did post a thread, titled "Patience", I believe. It was mainly about how my main hurdle in my weight loss attempts in college and the year since have been an impatient all or nothing attitude. I got so much great advice, I just had to post a little update!

Since February 7th I have been staying consistent with my weight loss efforts. That is not to say that I was perfect (by any means) but I never lost sight of my plan or "fell off the wagon" or "started again Monday," I told myself I was still "on plan" no matter what. Even in the two minutes after a bad choice at a restaurant, or a snack on the couch. Anyway, it worked!

I still have a long way to go, but as of this morning I have lost ten pounds in a little less than a month. I'm down to 124 from 134 on February 7th!

Thanks everyone for the daily adivce and motivation, whether you know you've been helpful or not. Here's to patience!

That's great - congrats!
And don't worry about being perfect - nobody is. It is important not to have the *all or nothing* attitude (although it takes time and practice). Good for you for being consistent!

Yay for you! I think it's about forgiving yourself when you slip up. It's inevitable.
