The reason I've stayed on plan today....its day 7--1 week.

[Shay]

One reason why I'm staying on plan today...because after a week of staying on plan I lost 5 lbs. If I can continue to do that I will have this weight off me in no time!

I'm staying on plan today because I'm worth it! Sometimes I need to remind myself of that

[GirlyGirlSebas]

My One reason today: I want to buy new summer clothes in pretty colors and fabrics....and look great wearing them!

[Beverlyjoy]

My reason staying on plan today is that tomorrow is weigh day - I would like to see a good outcome.

[Cassie501107]

Because today is day 1 of a new 12-week challenge that I'm doing on another site...ahhh, motivation!

[boaterswife]

I'm on plan today because I've been way too relaxed the last couple of weeks. I need to refocus and have a solid on plan week!

[BattleAx]

I'm staying on plan because I'm back in the groove and I want to stay here.

[Schmoodle]

Because I've done it before and I can do it again!

Okay, today I am staying on plan because I AM MAD. The scale won't budge. And it *pisses* me off. ARGHHHHHH.....I resisted so much temptation last night, I was so good, drank 1 cup of green tea and lots of water after dinner...and this morning on the scale....NOTHING - no loss, no budge ....nothing! I finished dinner at 530pm, and suffered through the entire evening not snacking until I finally fell asleep at 11pm, with my tummy grumbling.

It's a battle this time - I am mad at my fat. Maybe my FAT is mad at me?
I guess I thought the first week I would at least lose a lot of weight (water weight) and right now I'm only at a 3 pound loss as I started last tuesday.
I am going to stay on track today. No matter what.

Kissingginger--Two things came to mind reading your post. First, are you sure you are getting enough calories? If you are not eating enough it can stop you from losing...I think your calories would have to be pretty low for this to happen, but thought I'd throw it out there. Second, i think 3 pounds is good! I usually just lose 1 a week, and when I first started my big debut was 4...3 lbs. is nothing to be disappointed at. Maybe you don't have a lot of water retention to let go of...that's a good thing! I think you should celebrate those 3 lbs and relax some. Stay on plan and the scale will catch up with you.

Maybe you should take measurements? That allows you to see the real change in your body, the scale doesn't measure real progress as much as that. hang in there!

Okay, I WILL stay on plan today because I don't want my slip last night to ruin my whole week. It's over, I'm moving on today.

Purplefirefly: I think I just needed to vent the mad out. You are right about the calories, as I am not counting I have no idea. I should try to find the time soon to see if I can find out what everything is. I just found out my bmr is 1975 calories, or just under 2000, so maybe I am not taking in enough food. I am not hungry though, except after dinner when I am determined NOT to snack the night away...I know, I could squeeze in a small snack, but I know myself, and as a major binge eater, it's not something I want (or am ready) to face quite yet.

I have measured myself, and hubby took before pictures - because I want to be proud of my progress pics. I just didn't think that remeasuring after 1 week would be a good idea...I though I might do it monthly.

I think it's TOM, my attitude, my focus - I know it's coming soon...

Also, I AM proud of 3 pounds I just had a higher expectation!! I guess I just need to re-focus!

Thanks for your kind words and suggestions! Glad to hear you are back on track today

the one reason I am staying on plan is because I have a kitchen full of healthy delicious food that isn't bland and tastes much better than grease balls at your local Jack in the box (I take it in small steps)

[denialisnthappiness]

I've eaten a good breakfast, a fruit snack, a healthy lunch, a protein snack, done an hour and a half at the gym with cardio,weights and stretching and came back and had a good dinner. I even had a bit of dark chocolate as trying to make sure I eat enough.

What's in there ^^ for me to NOT stay on plan

[gr8smyl99]

The one reason why I'm staying on program is that I want so badly to succeed at this!! I have done every other thing I have put my mind to.... this is my last thing to conquer!!!
