It's great to wake up and know that you were 100% OP the previous day. Taking it day by day. Day 3 OP! Have a good day everyone!

Good morning! WI this morning and I'm down 1.4!!! I didn't expect to lose at all so I am really happy with that! I've been 100% OP and so glad I stuck with it in spite of feeling like it wasn't working.

I've been lurking more than posting because I've been feeling kinda negative and I know it puts some Ipeers off to have negativity posted all the time...but I pushed through the bad thoughts on my own, stayed on plan and I lost!!!

Have a great day everybody!!

Best success on this plan is to stay 100% and positive. We all get down occasionally but the best way to cope is to reframe it into a positive manner and keep moving forward

You are doing great
