Weigh In: 288.75 (new low)Calorie Count: 1,993
A few of you told me in the past few days that "I can't give up, because I look to you for support" - and I've heard this recently in my 'real' life as well. It's those types of things that make me realize how far that I've come in this fight. Don't get me wrong - as much as I get frustrated and remember the 'quitting' feeling back in the day, I feel pretty strong. Even when I'm mad about this whole 1 pound a month thing, I haven't lost that 'drive' to quit.
I haven't done the 'cheating' on the food thing. I haven't given up working out. I get irritated at the scale, but I suppose that's natural, right?
I've probably given this advice 50 times in the past month - "when the scale's not agreeing with you, just keep doing what you know you're supposed to be doing. The body is fighting you, but you'll win. Keep at it!"
It's so much easier to give the advice than take it.
But, as the scale read 288.75 today, I felt a glimmer of hope. Is this the crack in the floor that I need? Or, is it another tease, and I pop back into the 290's again tomorrow?
What have we said a million times?
Hard work - healthy eating - good decisions.
The fight continues.

I think the key word in these transformations is patience. No matter what else we do or say, it seems to always go back to waiting and seeing.
Youre attitude at this phase in your journey deserves kudos. A winning, accept no defeat attitude will get you to your goal. Way to go Rob!
That's great news about the weigh in. Where's your 5-day average, are you still tracking that?
I'm still 'tracking' it, but with the whole plateau thing, just seeing it not budge was more pissing me off than anything, so I kind of closed my eyes to it.
Counting today's weigh in, the 5-day is under 290 as well - 289.68.
Slowly but surely.
You know what you're doing and what you need to do to succeed. Regardless of what the scale does tomorrow, you're on the right track! Keep it up!
I second Lacy's emotion. Big props for keeping a positive attitude through your plateau.
