I can't stop weighing myself everyday. The good thing is the numbers finally got a little smaller. I'm down 3 more pounds woo hoo. Congratulations Zoey on your progress too. I need to hide my scale because I am weighing in like twice a day. I know your weight fluctuates naturally 1 or 2 pounds throughout the day but I can't stop looking for a miracle. How do you discipline yourselves not to check it or I am just being neurotic?

Like I said, my boyfriend has to hide it. Congrats on the 3 lbs!

Today I am still 150. This is always the point I get frustrated and give up. I am been good watching my calories and I am a active person but no loss in 3 days. I am bummed. I had a horrible weekend. My car was stolen with all my 4 year old birthday presents. I lived out of that car. I probably had at least 2000.00 worth of stuff in it. So I hope that things start looking up from here.

That is horrible! I am so sorry to hear what happened to you. So that was what you were shopping for! Hopefully the insurance will cover some of it. I know you can get through this stress. It's the ultimate test isn't it? I believe everything happens for a reason, and while I am sure it is impossible to see any good come of your ordeal, at least try to come away from it stronger and better able to push on with your goal of improving your lifestyle. Good luck and I hope you break that 150 mark soon.

So sorry to hear about that. I know losing the gifts had to hurt. Every time I want to complain about everything being to far to drive to, I remind myself that I feel good about the fact that I got away from having to worry about those things. I know I probably have gotten too comfortable out here, I need to at least lock the doors at night!! Things will get better for you. I know that's easy for me to say, but after all the things I've gone through, I can say with complete confidence that you will get through this. Even though it's hard to lose anything you have, just remember you still have you and your family, and those are the important things. Stay strong.

Well i went to the gym today and only worked out for 1/2 hour but I worked pretty hard. I am still at 150. I dont think I will ever get over that hump. I am so FRUSTRATED! I dont want to give up but I hate feeling like a loser.
