Weight Loss Challenges
OK… I admit that I am back to being about 5 pounds less than when I first started in January. That means that I’ve gained weight after all that hard work. (Things have been so busy that I haven’t actually been consistently weighing myself.) This is SOOOOO frustrating. I’ve tried all different kinds of things. What is going to work for me?? I have to find out.
Failure is NOT an option. My goal weight MUST be reached by end of 2012. I have a husband and children to think about so it’s important that Mommy be healthy, energetic, and able to keep up with everything.
I’ll make sure to be more faithful to weigh in and report. That is what kept me so focused in the beginning.
Let’s say that this experience has helped me eliminate what is NOT effective. Now on to finding out what will work for me and still be a life-style change I can incorporate into my life for the long-term.
So… here are my numbers and they’re not encouraging at all.
Original Goal: 78.6 pounds to lose
Week 17 Results: Exactly 5 pounds less than when I began.
I should have lost 26.1 pounds by today. Instead, I have gained back some of what I did lose. So, this week I start something different.
Have a blessed day! I know that I will, despite my news.

Oh Sister, I feel your pain. I have gained so much weight. I am trying to stay away from preprocessed food (starting today). So far I have had whole wheat bread. I really need to get a grip.
Bless you on this journey too!

Thanks, Beth. You, too.
It looks like the ‘battle of the bulge’ is a really TOUGH one, but you will get there. I’d encourage you to rejoice over that 5-lb loss. I think you know it’s just as important to be upbeat as to be “able to keep up with everything.” Love your cartoon!
Thanks for the encouraging advice, Christine.
