well sadly i haven't had much to post about this past week. i have been deviating from plan a little each day so my loss has not been exciting. as of tuesday i had lost 1lb so i am down 54 lbs over all. the plan was to be down 57 by this weekend but with my little cheats here and there that isn't going so well. not gaining though so that is always a bonus. i am just not losing either.
on the flip side of that apparently my inches are still going down little by little. a few weeks ago i had purchased 2 new pairs of work pants that were a size 16. mind you in jeans i can fit in a size 14 because they have a bit of stretch to them. as most people know dress pants have virtually no give in the waist band so going for a size that is too small just looks HORRID on a person. as the line goes "looks like two pigs fighting under a blanket" and while it is talking about a dress... it still fits this situation. the past two days i have worn each pair and noticed that not only is the waist band loser around my mid-section but the way it fits around my thighs and hips is a bit roomier too.
at this point in time i am at a cross roads. the numbers is what the center looks at but like most women my goal is based on clothing size. as i would still like to see both decrease i get excited over a loss in both ways. so as the number of lbs is not moving along as i would like it to, the loss in inches is still keeping my motivation up enough that i am not going out and throwing all my hard work away. i just need to learn to curb that sweet tooth again. stupid jelly beans! :o) anyway, i hope everyone that started the path to a healthier lifestyle is doing well. remember that after a few weeks it might get a little bit harder. just push on through that rough spot and focus on the main goal. it isn't just about the loss in inches or lbs it is about becoming healthier!!! heck on the biggest loser this week one fella started out on 10 medications and insulin, now after 3 weeks of being on the ranch he has dropped down to 1 medication and only a fraction of the insulin he had been taking. another fella has stopped taking all 8 of the medications he started with. keep pushing through, you can do this! :o)
happy eating!

Great motivational post. I like the part about pushing through the rough spots. Next week will be better and maybe you will even have your ride back.
Hey, you still lost some weight this week. You are not going to lose weight like the people on "Biggest Loser" unless you plan to devote all your time and energy to diet and exercise. And, really, who has the option (OK, desire) to do that??? Most of us do have a life... I think your problem is that you haven't tried any new food concoctions... Some of your meals were totally out there!!! So, get busy, Chef Boyardee, and come up with something new that we can all look at and go "YUCK! No wonder she lost weight. That's disgusting!!!"
