This motivational talk is exactly what I need. I had a minimal loss of 0.2 pounds this week, which is almost more frustrating than stayin put or gaining. I've only lost 0.6 pounds over the past two weeks, and that makes me want to tear my hair. I too want to step it up and maintain a solid weight loss pace, because like others I'm motivated by my own success.
I was actually musing on the irony of my lame numbers, since I spent the past two weeks immersed in the Olympics (one of my favourite events to watch ever, and especially this time since it was on my home turf). The Olympics have been a great crutch to lean on in a time when I've been battling my own emotions, and I need to find something else to fill the void now that they're over. I'm hoping renewed vigour on the weight loss front and maybe some stepped up exercise can do it, but I confess I'm skeptical at the moment.
Sorry guys, I didn't mean to get all emotional on you here.
Marianna, a pound is nothing to sneeze at. I'd be ecstatic with a pound lost. And Khris, congrats on your amazing loss over the month, especially during a stressful time. Sarah, you've been doing wonderfully well and maintaining the status quo in a difficult phase is just as much of an accomplishment as losing.
