Hang in there girl.... keep your head up. You have been doing great and WILL continue to do so....  

thanks, welchmom! its so helpful to have all these supportive buddies like yourself! 

We are all in this together.... 

For me, I only record once a week ... maybe twice, but if I weigh in more, I do not record more than weekly since our bodies flux so much. For me, it makes more sense to just record the same day, same time each week. :) No worries, dust of, and get back in that car and BURN SOME MORE RUBBER BABY!! 

cindy...i dont record everyday..but i do weigh every morning..and i find i fluctuate too...its only a pound or so....but when u are battling each pound means so much....your refocus idea is grand...we are so hard on ourselves ! Takes time to lose weight but takes more time to turn off that learnt negative self talk! oh my!! dont get me started!! hahaha keep rolling !!! My name is Lisa by the way....my nickname is for my new car....i bought myself a two seater sportscar last summer...a Solstice.....so this is where my name comes from....a 40th bday gift to me , from me..with lots and lots of love..hahahaha 

I think that is a great refocus! Don't write that number down because that weight is not there to stay. :) You are SO close. I am waiting in anticipation of you reaching your first mini-goal. :) 

I don't record everyday, but every friday is my rule. You wrote about positive thinking, it inspired me. Bring on the positive. You're doing just great 

thanks girls! yes, I'm recording my fluctuations less and less these days. only recording if something is a new low, if it is weigh in day for the challenge, or if a new weight that is higher than where I have been seems to stick for a while (thankfully, that has not happened so far). lisa, that is a pretty name. I also like your screenname. you look like a 'lisa.' sara, oh, I am waiting too! could be any day now if I do good!! :) 

hey mayisa, we were commenting at the same time! glad I could inspire you a little :) I always try to stay positive, although that attitude in THIS area of my life is new to me! :) 

I think I've been doing the same stuff! I feel like I should eat, but am scared to. Then when I do eat, it's either a bit too much or not enough!! Yikes, this whole thing is hard but it's so worth it when you can get it right! Hang in there, we will pull through this together for sure!!! 

oh wow, sarah, we are totally on the same page with that. I told my friend that my biggest problem was that I have been both terrified of eating too much and terrified of not eating enough. and I do both. last week when I lost all those lbs at once, it was because I was really focusing on what my stomach was telling me. I was trying to see, how little can I eat without having any negative effect on my health? and I was surprised that it was a lot less than I thought. once I made sure to eat when I was hungry and let go of the fear that it would make me gain, I didn't want to eat nearly as much in general. yes, its hard at times but we can both totally do this! thanks for commenting!
