Got to weigh in today after being away for a couple of weeks. Finally got my 30 pound rock and was told I was close enough to goal to start stabilization in a couple of weeks. Wow! I hope I lose some more before I start, I don't want to stabilize five pounds away from my goal. It seems like it's been a long jouney but really it went pretty quick.

I've struggled to stay on other programs in the past too, but I'm determined that this is going to be my time. Try to keep remembering what caused to to make the jump and committment to MRC. You can do it!!!

One thing that has helped me tremendously is to continue to repeat to myself, "This plan is HARD, but being fat, depressed, low energy, and having borderline high blood pressure is HARDER." Seriously, they're both hard. But the hard task of staying OP will have ultimate reward! Hang in there - day by day - bite by bite.

I think my plateau is finally going away! I lost 7 lbs in two weeks (a personal record) and then it's been 10 days and I'm down only 1 lb. Today the scale crept down just a little, so I'm really hoping this thing is over. There's pretty much no way I can finish on time, which is a real bummer. I've never averaged 3 lbs a week, I'm actually around 2 lbs a week and I have 11 weeks left and 35 lbs to go. I'm starting to get used to the idea of having to do a couple extra weeks, but I was really attached to my goal date.

I really could use a good weight loss week this week! C'mon body, please help me out here!

You are doing great I never averaged 3 lbs. either after the first month or so. I'd not lose anything for a couple of weeks, and then end up losing five the next week. I'd seem to hit some weights where my body was happy (like now) and I'd have to stay there for a while.

I bet you'll get pretty close to your goal date, but don't worry about getting attached to it. This is a life long change after all.

One challenge at a time I guess. I typically get up, light a fire, make my coffee and sit on the sofa cuddling the dogs while I do my morning internet. At least today I sat at the dining table. I won't sit there nearly as long.
