I lost 1 pound this week. The scale went up then back down this week and I ended up losing 1 pound overall. It is a great little one pound!! That one little pound added up with all the other little one pounds and now totals up to 25 lost for me so far. I am so excited to be able to update my HYC badge to a 25 pounds gone badge and check off another goal. Even though I am losing quite slowly it is more than I have lost in years....I'm glad to going on the down side and and not gaining. Sometimes I get so discouraged about losing slowly and want to see a bigger loss but, in the long run I know that I will be more likely to keep it off if I lose slowly.
I did not set out to meet a goal within a certain amount of time....I just wanted to start living a more healthy life by making healthy food choices and exercising and drinking more water. Over all so far has been pretty good with some ups and downs. You all are my inspiration and help me to keep going. I love reading your blogs and looking at your progress pictures. Your comments make my day!! Thank you to all of you!
Now I have joined Chubby Chic's Christmas challenge and feel the pressure. I think I will have to just put it out of my mind so I won't freak out when I think "I'm never going to make it, I'm never going to make it". At first I wanted to put 11 pounds for my challenge amount but then I though if I upped it a bit to 15 pounds it might "make" me work harder. Who was I kidding...I know I don't do good under pressure. I think I better just not worry about it and do the best that I can.
