Weighed in yesterday and was down 2 lbs! Now I'm back to my pre-holiday weight! 6.5 lbs to go!!! Woohoo!

Yea! Keep going. The holidays and special events are rough...but if I had it to do over again I wouldn't....it was enjoyable to be off program.....and we just need to get back on and keep going.....

OK, How did everyone do this week? I read on one of these threads that someone made it to stabilization..... Can't remember who....but congrats to you!
I went to WI this AM and was down 2.5#. Finally, I'm loosing again. I talked with the center and they agreed that I should be ready for stabilization in two weeks.......Yes, yes, yes.

Congrats to you Roadqueen!!!
It's going extremely slow for me and it does get frustrating at times.

I'm not doing well... started therapy to help with the emotional side of weight loss and encountering a lot of strong emotions which in turn is making me want to eat. Sort of a big circle but my therapist does our connections classes at MRC and she said this is all going to help so I am just sticking it out.
My center knows what I am doing and are happy about it and basically said do the best I can and try to at least maintain. I have also started working out much more since the bf built a gym in the basement.
I am hopeful but still a little discouraged because I have put 10 lbs back on and seem to have so far to go till stabilization might be March now. :( I think I am at 33% fat and they want me around 27%.

Seems almost impossible...

:DHang in there, Daizy! It is a rough road for sure and one that we will be on for the rest of our lives or we'll end up right back where we started. Just remember you are not alone!:D

Hang in there. Good you are talking to someone as sounds you've got lots of growth going on which is always great in the end but hard in the middle. Centers are all different. I just started stabilization and I'm at 34.1% fat still with a healthy BMI and my center is very encouraging to me!

Weigh in update: only a .5 loss this week. Hope this isn't an indication of the next 6 lbs...otherwise it'll take forever. Patience, patience, patience.

I also had only a .5 loss, but after talking to the new guy at my center, I think I can get this done. He is a fitness trainer and he has a wonderful sense of humor.. He talked to me for an hour and gave some great advice on the food issues as well as some excercises I can do.. So hopefully this will help me with the last 6.5 lbs that needs to go.. It really is a mind game..

How did you like Zumba? I went to my 1st class this morning....lucky for me it was a special power hr. so instead of an hr. it has an hr. & a half ;) I loved it. I hope you enjoyed it. I was on bed rest for the past almost 3 months so I felt like I was going to hit the floor lol. But after the fact I felt great for being able to survive the class lol!

The last 10 are painful....hang in there!

Good for you! An hour and a half.....GOSH that's a long time. You're a trooper! It's fun.l I just pretend I move as good as the instructor and have fun. My goal is just to keep moving--I modify as I go.

YOU SAID IT!!!! The first 40 weren't this hard...LOL!

Thanks for all of the encouragement!

I had a rough weekend but a lil switch seemed to go off last night... not just with the program but me in general. I am tired of feeling 'blue' all the time. I miss the upbeat me. Today feels like a new begining.

I bought a new journaling notebook, it has Wonder Woman on the cover, I got a new phone with the cutest purple leopard print cover, and scheduled a hair apt on Friday to change my hair. I just feel better today.

I have also kept up on my work outs and did cardio 5 days last week. I'm shooting for adding more workouts... 3 days of circuits, Wed night Shimmy and Yoga and Sat morning Hip Hop class.

Now if I could only get my sleep in check. Saw almost every hour last night.

I went to WI today and was still 150. I am sticking to plan this week (and weeks in the future) and I will be lighter at WI Friday.

Great to hear! A couple of books that I really like are "The Depression Cure"
by Stephen Ilardi and "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Ruben (not sure of spelling). There is also a Happiness Project blog. Glad you're nurturing yourself.....you will get there!
