Hi Folks,

I am way late to the challenge but am glad to finally get here. Depending on whose scale you want to trust, I have lost either 3 or 7 pounds since the first of the year. My weight loss has slowed down considerably as I get closer to my goal. I am happy to still be moving down!

I noticed the discussion regarding having difficulty with a small gain or yo-yoing as you get close to a goal. I have th8is same issue. I call it my magic numbers! certain numbers seem to freak me out or have some sort of special significance to me mentally. I have come to the conclusion that I have a fear of success. I get freaked out when things work out weight wise. Definitely not what you think would happen. I spent a dozen or so sessions talking to a weight loss psychologist at a hospital and that is what I came up with along with other issues that impede my success, Best wishes to all. I will try and check in again on Valentines Day,
