Need to lose 6.6! Yikes! Lol

I've crunched some numbers last night and realized I'm 3 pounds away from losing 40 pounds since mid June. I'm kind of proud of myself today. What makes me feel even better is that I'm not over the top crazy this time. I'm making the best choices I can and doing my best not to best myself up over the scales fluctuations:)
I have a long way to go, but I know I can do it. I've done it before- its possible. Hopefully I will be mentally stable enough( haha) to keep it off this time!

:carrot: This is a tremendous loss in ten weeks; that's an average of four pounds a week or 1.2 % of your body weight. I have read that losses of 1 % body weight/week were realistic, so you are above that.

At the same time, you are not doing a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD). I don't like those; they make me feel ill and weak.

If you do not give up, you will achieve your goal. Lastly, if you focus on making healthier choices instead of eating from a set menu (with very little calories), it will be more of a lifestyle change.

It could get ugly tomorrow,i just finished some off plan choices... maybe tonight before bed I'll have some green tea with combination to help counteract my stressed out cheesecake slipup...

Thanks ladies :hug: I was overly happy :D

Tomorrow will be ugly, I just had the saltiest dinner ever. I already feel my fingers swelling up with bloat :( I stayed within calories but the darn sodium... I hope it will be only a pound. Tori, I am boiling water for my green tea as I type, hoping for the same counteract :)

Lol , cool so we are in the same boat, I'll row you steer, well get through this!!

:high::coffee::coffee:

Way to go Sum! I'm really enjoying these 2% challenges!
