MY BIRTHDAY IS CHRISTMAS EVE TOO!! Too funny! And it's my 50th - UGH! My goal is to be 110 by then (actually I want to be on Phase 4 by then), so hopefully that's doable - 5.5 pounds.

Keep at it - you will get there!!!

My birthday is on December 23 and I am hoping to be phased off by then. The greatest bday gift would be maintenance. :) WE CAN DO IT!!!:carrot:

LOVE IT AND YES WE CAN!!!! Maybe I should start a maintenance by Christmas thread!!

Hey, dont worry. i had .8 ounce weight loss one week. its because we are hormonal during 1 week a month and thts why the loss might be slow, hang in there your loss will expedite .
good luck

I actually had a one pound gain last week. I was "paid back" with a 5 lb loss this week. So, don't worry. Congratulations on your loss. You are going DOWN!:carrot:

Slow2lose, I understand your frustration! I had a somewhat disappointing WI yesterday, and no matter how much we tell ourselves otherwise, it's impossible not to feel a little deflated.

Remind yourself that the weekly weigh-in is one snapshot in time, and there's at least half a million things that can affect it. I swear, if you exhale and get back on the scale, your weight will be different! So take that "snapshot" with a grain of salt.

My home scale is usually 2 pounds different than the clinic, but that varies sometimes, too . . . all of which reminds me a number is just a number. Watch the body fat percentage and the inches - I think they're a more reliable indicator of where you're at!

Last week it was -1.5 so that's OK.
