Hey now, don't get frustrated. What did you say to me when I was upset the scale wasn't moving? You said to keep at it and it will move. Remember??

You may be gaining muscle - which will help you in the long run. So hang in there. Keep doing what you're doing and you WILL see results. Sometimes it just takes a little longer. Besides, you have 21 more days this month to take off the other 4.5 pounds you want to lose. That's a good pace. Now keep going!!!

Believe it or not a 1/2 pound is perfect! And here's why,

"The National Institute of Health (NIH) guidelines advice setting weight loss targets of no more than 10% of body weight every 6 months. For most people, that means losing less than a pound per week.

NIH experts also believe that a slow and gradual weight loss approach is not only safer, but also more likely to lead to long-term weight loss.

When it comes to weight loss, slow and steady definitely seems to be the best way to win the weight loss race."

AND there's this girl in my WW meeting who has lost over 100 pounds (I think she's at like 107 or something). Anyway they calculated what that meant only weekly weight loss and it came out to 0.75 lbs. a week. And now she's almost at her goal weight!

I feel like I should be losing faster as well. I am NOT a patient person. lol. But while the scale isn't moving that much, the pants I put on this morning aren't tight like the last time I put them on. thewave.gif
Hopefully, that thought will keep me from stress eating for the next couple days. I am off to Chicago today for about 5 weeks and I am stressing about the work and being away from FI for all that time. All I want is comfort food!

Thanks for the support ladies :) I've just been down about this today. I still stuck to my diet and went to the gym, but am feeling a little defeated. I worked my butt off this past week, and it wasn't what I expected to see. New week, will try to get a new attitude, and next week's weight will be better :)

WOW Jill, good work!!!

 

I'm babysitting an infant tonight, so I plan to do my leg lifts while little Stewart is getting in his tummy time.

 

I didn't get a chance to do TammyB's lunges last night so I'll do those tonight as well as any other exercise she posts today.

 

Come on ladies, keep up the good work. We're all doing sooo well!!!!

I will try to get my leg lifts in after cardio today - I may use the machine at the gym though - the inner and outer thigh ones. I'm going to be out on any lunge/squat exercise... I hurt my knee earlier in the summer and that is the exact motion that makes it hurt. 24oz water so far for the day... :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
